The Responsibility to Remember

This blog is inspired by a sermon titled “Who Is God Calling You to Be” by Sarah Jakes Robertś.

In the journey of faith, we often encounter challenges that test our resolve and beliefs. However, we have power to war. When faced with adversity, it’s vital to put our knowledge of Scripture to work and crash the head of the serpent. The Bible reminds us of the enmity between us and the serpent, as stated in Genesis 3:15 (NIV) “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” This powerful verse serves as a battle cry, urging us to fight back against depression, anxiety, fear, life’s challenges and the lies that tell us we are not good enough or that our dreams are too big to attain.

When challenges arise, we must go back to the feet of Jesus. There, we can pick His brain and meditate on what He tells us. It’s essential to internalize these teachings and repeat them to ourselves. When the enemy reminds us of our weaknesses, we should respond, “IT IS WRITTEN.” This declaration is not just a statement; it’s a commitment to war in prayer, aligning our actions with the promises of God as we conquer the battles before us.
