always different

i never fit in. ever

bullied

bruised

mocked

for not fighting back

but now i see

those were never my battles

to fight back in

i was built for the battles

that can't be seen

forgiving as i go but never forgetting

there's immense power in that

but not my own

the Bible talks a lot about the heart

and how Elohim created it for

softening

seeing

hardening

hearing

knowing

we are spiritual beings

in a physical body

and spiritual warfare

is a very real thing

our mind is the battlefield

where thoughts are used

as weapons against us

sown with doubt and fear

to try to break us

mentally

physically

spiritually

He already knew this would happen so

there are spiritual gifts given

to us by His Spirit for

Knowledge

Wisdom

Faith

Healings

Miracles

Tongues

Translation of Tongues

Prophecy

Discernment

used for edification

oh, but the last two...

sometimes unpopular

often unwelcome

very misunderstood

always necessary

causes irritation in spirits

bullied by some

but never wrong

sees past the heart into the soul

lips lie

eyes can't

not every battle we fight is for ourselves

Sometimes we're sent for someone

but we're in it to win it

no weapon formed against us shall prosper

come hell or high water.

β€œFor we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—”. Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV

❀️

β€œBut the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.” I Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭7‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
