You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
1 John 4:4
This past semester I spent in chiropractic college was the hardest schooling I have ever done. 7am to 5pm followed by studying. It was really difficult but I was making it through. The last month and a half though I woke every morning and heard the same lies over and over again. That I was not good enough to make it through, I didn’t have the energy, I wasn’t as smart as the other students, I am not friendly enough to be succeed, I’m too shy, I just get walked all over, why even go to school you are a failure.
So I got up each morning heard these lies and many others and they were very convincing, but I got down on my knees and said “Lord I don’t think I can even deny that what is being said is true, but I believe what you say about me is true in spite of how things look, feel, or seem, I choose you and I choose life today. The lies kept coming and every time I went to Lord and declared what he said about I believed even though it didn’t seem to fit at all.
Ultimately, greater is He who is in me then he who is in the world, and in Christ I overcame the lies. It was anything super exciting or some big change but it was enough for each day knowing who I am in my savior and overcoming. And at the end of the semester I ended up getting the first 4.0 ever in my life. So yeah I can say that what the enemy says to me is definitely a lie and Christ over came it just as his word says.
