The Purpose of Insecurity

Ephesians 5:12
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world. Against spiritual wickedness in high places."

Let's play the "what if" game.

What if-your insecurity is actually an attack on your person, to hinder your usefulness for God?

What if-you are so focused on your shortcomings, that the gifts and talents God has placed inside of you are going ignored?

What if-God has specific purpose for your life, specific people that he needs you to reach, and you are so consumed by your insecurity you are walking right past them?


I'm not going to tell you something sweet about how your image suffering is going to bring glory to God. That's not even close to the truth. What it is doing, is affecting your ability to do His will here on earth.

I think this is one of those genius plans that Lucifer's war generals developed: How to render Christian women of the 21st century useless.
(raspy voice)"We'll make them feel inferior. Make beauty an issue, skinniness and issue. We'll make men abuse them, until they spend their lives feeling so inadequate God couldn't use them if he tried."
How clever to attack a woman's confidence so that it maims her boldness.Or so that it fills her mind leaving no room for anything else.

While you focus on your inadequacies, your enemy is stealing your potential. He's telling you that you don't have any. The noise of what is wrong with you is so loud in your head that when God speaks and tells you to do something, you can't hear him.
God has given each of us gifts and talents. We are supposed to find out what they are, develop them and use them. But you don't even know you have them because you are too busy fretting over your cankles.

I have a very close friend who struggled with issues of worthlessness her whole life. She would never speak in front of people because she didn't want to draw attention to herself. One day she got angry at her own weakness and decided to make a change. It took time to build confidence. She got braces, she changed her hair, and then she surprised us all. She is a wordsmith. She can talk circles around anyone arguing with her. Her success rate with convincing people that Jesus is the only way, is astounding. I believe Satan knew there was a calling on her life and he was trying to keep her quiet. What is he trying to keep quiet in you?

You are fighting a spiritual battle and you didn't even know it. Now you do.

So what do you do?

You fight spiritual warfare with prayer. You put on the armor of God and hold up the shield of faith-believing that you are called and chosen, and knowing that darts are going to be shot at you to make you think otherwise. You get angry and you fight back. When thoughts of your insufficiency's come seeping into your mind, you recognize them for the lies they are. Lies that are sent by your enemy to steal your purpose.



Now, everyone scream MOXIE!
