The Imposter in the Room

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;
I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
John 10:10
 
One of the ploys of the enemy is to make you feel inferior and/or inadequate to the tasks, in the places or with the people God has called you to.
The thoughts he tries to sell you on may go something like this:
“Everyone else belongs here- you do not!
Everyone else was chosen for their talents and giftings – but you have none to offer.
You are in way over your head.
Everyone else belongs here but you are an imposter in the room!”
These are lies he often uses with people to try and make them ineffective in what God has called them to do.
Here’s a suggestion – Don’t live out the ‘prayer of agreement’ (so to speak) with the enemy.
Don’t accommodate the thoughts he wants you to meditate on for even a moment.
God’s plans for you are good.
He has given each of us a part to play in His Kingdom and placed you in a place and with a people to which you can – you must – contribute!
The enemy tries to neutralize what God wants to do in you and through you.
He often plants thoughts of fear or low self-esteem.
Don’t attend his party!
God gives us abundant life and His amazing grace.
Don’t settle for anything else!
