Excerpt:
Let me tell y’all something when God gives you an assignment, the enemy will do everything in his power to make you doubt yourself. Jezebel will whisper lies in your ear, make you feel like you’re not enough, but you better rise up and remember who sent you!

There’s something powerful that happens when you know deep down that God gave you a job to do. You can feel it in your spirit. You know it’s coming soon, and you’re preparing for it — not just mentally but spiritually. But then, out of nowhere, Jezebel shows up. And when I say “Jezebel,” I’m not talking about some woman in the Bible only — I’m talking about that spirit that tries to manipulate, control, and make you feel unworthy. It creeps in when you’re right at the edge of your breakthrough.
That’s exactly what happened to me. God told me to go do a job, and I knew it was coming up soon. I felt ready, I felt chosen. But here comes Jezebel — whispering, “You’re not qualified,” “You’re not good enough,” “You’re gonna mess it up.” And for a moment, I almost listened. I almost believed that lie. But I stopped myself and said, No! God already said I was going to do this, so I will.
See, the thing about walking with God is you can’t waver. You have to trust that His word is final. You can’t be double-minded, one day believing and the next day doubting. Because if you doubt what God said, you’re opening a door for the enemy to come in and play with your mind. When God gives you a mission, you have to walk with confidence knowing it’s already done in the spirit — you’re just living it out in the physical.
Now, I’m not saying it’s easy. Because when you’ve got a job to do for the Lord, opposition will come. The enemy doesn’t bother people who aren’t a threat. But when you’re a giver of life, when your purpose is to help people, lift people, speak life into them — that’s when the enemy comes for you hardest. Because he doesn’t want you giving life. He wants to tear down your spirit so that you can’t give anything to anyone else.
That’s why it’s so important to stay prayed up and balanced in the spirit. You can’t give life to others if your own spirit is running on empty. You have to stay in constant connection with God, through prayer, through His Word, through worship, through quiet moments of reflection. Because this is not a physical fight we’re in — it’s spiritual.
And here’s what I want everyone reading this to understand: Jezebel doesn’t always come in obvious forms. Sometimes it’s that coworker trying to plant doubt in your head. Sometimes it’s your own mind telling you that you’re not ready. Sometimes it’s those sudden obstacles that show up right before you’re about to step into your blessing. But don’t fall for it. Those are distractions sent to make you lose focus on what God already promised you.
When you feel that attack, pause and remind yourself who you are in Christ. You’re not some random person trying to figure life out — you’re a chosen vessel. And because you are chosen, the enemy will try to make you question your worth. But your worth isn’t determined by man. It’s sealed by God.
So when that Jezebel spirit shows up trying to make you feel small, trying to make you think you can’t handle the job — remind her who sent you. You were chosen. You were equipped. And you are covered.
Stay in your Word. Stay filled with the Spirit. Study to show yourself approved. Be ready for what’s coming, because it’s not about how strong you are — it’s about how obedient you are. And if God said it, that’s final.
Keep walking, keep trusting, and remember: you can’t give life if you’re not connected to the One who gives it.
Amen.
