They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you

Jeremiah 1:19 is the scripture referenced. God called Jeremiah when he was very young, but Jeremiah was doubtful at first because he thought God called his prophets based on their age and appearance. God made Jeremiah realize in the last verse of chapter 1 that since he had been called, people would oppose and persecute him, but they would fail. I have never witnessed God abandoning his children.

The Bible also says that the Lord's eyes are on the righteous in 1 Peter 3:12. It's reassuring to know that God has promised to protect his people in a world that seems to be spinning out of control. God will triumph even when disaster strikes, storms rage, and prayers go unanswered.

People forget this scripture when they are in the midst of a storm (Jeremiah 1:9). This verse is meant to remind us that while the enemy will always fight us, he will never be able to defeat us. We can trust and not be afraid even when bad things happen to us—when we feel defeated and crushed by our enemies.

Jesus meant exactly what he said when he told Peter that the gates of Hell would not prevail against his church. Whatever the devil tries to throw at us, it will ultimately fail because God is the sole ruler of our fate.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against

How do we allow our past to not define us

Even if you don't have everything together, rest certain that God sees you as his priceless possession. Your past does not define who you are today. In actuality, from a spiritual viewpoint, who you are today is not determined by your past. It might affect your thoughts, but it doesn't make you who you are. God proclaims our true identity: that we are made in His likeness and in His image, reflecting both the male and female facets of God (according to Genesis 1:26-27).
