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.

βFor 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 saintsββ. Ephesiansβ¬ β6β¬:β12β¬-β18β¬ βNKJV

βBut 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.β I Corinthiansβ¬ β12β¬:β7β¬-β11β¬ βNKJVβ¬β¬
