The Ripple Effect

The Ripple Effect

The long series of disappointments you accumulate in a lifetime can stop you from moving forward into all the goodness God has planned for you—and that means they’ll be stopping not only you, but also all those God has destined you to reach along your life journey.

You are a person of great influence. Your family and the people closest to you are observing the way you respond to life’s disappointments. If you allow multiple frustrations, dissatisfactions, regrets, and disillusionments to make you despair, the enemy counts that as a victory. Satan prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. He studies your vulnerabilities and your weaknesses, and he sees what trigger points stop you in your tracks and keep you from telling others about My goodness. He knows that if he can keep you from speaking up about truth, peace, hope, and faith to the people I want you to reach, you won’t fulfill your destiny.

Be watchful and attentive! When you feel discouragement pulling you down, issue this warning loudly: “Satan, you are a total loser! You have already been defeated. My mind, my heart, and my future belong to the Most High God, and you have no place in my thoughts. Leave now, in the name of Jesus Christ! Go away! I will not be a victim of your lies anymore! I belong to Jesus!” The ripple effect of this mind-set brings victory, joy, and opportunities to represent Me everywhere you go. You’re a victor!

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

1 Peter 5:8
