"Did God really say...?" a question you might hear when things aren't playing out exactly how you imagined. It's important that we understand that the enemy is the father of lies, and that he has one sinister goal: to kill, steal, and destroy. As God takes you through the refinement process, you will grow in Godly wisdom, discernment, and discipline, all of which enable you to stand against the weapons formed against you sent from the enemy. Learning to take negative thoughts captive, and replace those thoughts with the truth of Jesus Christ are crucial steps to walking boldly into the things that The Lord has spoken over your life.
