also angry to hear the news. Angry that we’ve been misled and
that our emotions have been tampered with.
And now we’re ready to take that holy indignation into
battle, on our knees, in prayer. We are fully alive and on the
path to healing and wholeness. Our story isn’t even close to
being over. We are already seated in heavenly places. We’re
fully functional with weapons our enemy has no answer for.
We are loved by God from before time began (Matt. 25:34),
endowed already with the eternal Spirit of God (2 Cor. 1:22), and
forgiven of even our most shameful sins (Rom. 4:7–8). If you
can’t believe He’d do that for you, at least believe He’s done it
as a testimony to the greatness of His name (Ps. 79:9) because
He’s God and He likes to show it. That “head and not the tail”
business from Deuteronomy 28:13? God has already seen to it
that the only “tail” in this real-life drama is the one who’s
destined to be thrown—head, tail, and all—into the “lake of fire
and brimstone” (Rev. 20:10). Not you.
Not. You.Not. Ever.Because you are His... and He is yours.
