It’s no secret that Satan wants to keep us from the tangible love of God. He will use anything in His power to keep us from the beautifully orchestrated plans He has for our lives.
He Whispers…
1) “You can’t do this.”
2) “You’re not good enough.”
3) “You don’t deserve that.”
4) “You aren’t worth it.”
These whispers come at the worst times, and fill us with the worst of insecurities. Although his whispers are dark, painful and filled with the lies of this world, the truth of Jesus Christ will be forever LOUDER.
We are called to great and mighty things through the strength of Christ. Continue to walk in His path, follow His truth, and seek His love.
The next time you hear whispers of insecurity, seek the truth of Jesus Christ. He is our refuge, strength and protection.
Tell Satan…
1) “My God is bigger.”
2) “My God is stronger.”
3) “My God is my protection.”
Satan likes to whisper, “you’ll never make it”. God likes to shout, ” we’ll do it together”.
Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Jarrid, I couldn’t have read this at a better time with things that are going on in my life I find myself listening to the lies more than the truth. Thank you for posting this and reminding me that God has bigger plans than this world.
Awesome post Jarrid!!! This is exactly what I needed right now in my walk with God. Such a great encouragement! Thank you and God bless!!!
Thanks Bianca! Appreciate you!
Thanks Bianca!
Jarrid kindly remove my previous comment (re Ps 23). Somehow there is an image attached to my comments that I definitely did NOT insert. I can’t even make out what that image is, or what it is about! Thank you. “JustMe”
No words for how badly I needed to hear this. I was sexually abused as a child and now I will have thoughts like “You’re not good enough. You’re worthless. No man will ever want you” on the days I’m really struggling. This will help me so much from having an emotional break down when I hear those whispers. Thanks! Great post!
I am so glad. Praise God!
yep!!! What Ashlee said! I, too, have been struggling with doubt…sometimes the whispers get louder and louder and I find myself completely consumed. It’s a battle out here. The enemy is after our minds because he can’t have our lives but his plan is to convince us that we are worthless when in fact he KNOWS that we are vital in God’s army! This post came at the right time…thank you Jarrid for your obediance.
“He will use anything in His power to keep us from the beautifully orchestrated plans he has for our lives.”
On June 14th, my fiancee Karen walked away from God, our vision for ministry and our relationship. She is wandering in darkness. The enemy whispered in her ear, and she gave in to his lies. My heart breaks for her, but I know that God’s goodness is sovereign.
Thank you Jarrid for your words of encouragement here. I stand on the promise of Jeremiah 29:11. I trust God and I daily commit to follow His path for my life (whether or not that path leads back to Karen or not). I know not what the future holds, but I rest in the fact that I know who holds the future.
Blessed be the name of the Lord…
Amen. Love your response Ron.
God is so good that he always find a way to comfort us. I was reading your post and I found myself in this situation. Is hard, Satan always find a way to let us down, and sometimes we are weak,so he find a door. And he likes to accuse us, after we fall. I am just beginning my walk with Jesus, and sometimes I feel like God don’t want me or I don’t deserve His love. I know this is a lie. But Satan always try to hurt us in our weakness. But God is amazing! Yesterday he used a brother that have preached about the desert that Jesus passed through. Jesus was tempted for 40 days by Satan himself, He is the son of God, but came as a man, to feel what we feel. If the son of God passed through the desert, was tempted who are we for don’t pass through it? Jesus was an example in everything. God used that preacher for telling me this. And today He used you! I now realize that I need to be strong and don’t give up. Jesus did pay a big price for me, for all of us. And nothing can compare! Maybe you can think that the things you have wrote wont make a difference,but look at it! I am so far(Brasil, i’m sorry for my english), and you don’t know anything about me or my life and He used you to say something that really touched me, something I really need to hear. I really want to say tha my God is stronger, that He is bigger! Thanks God for this day!
Amen Jessica!
Hi Jarrid thanks for your encouraging words, im really going through what seems a variety of tests and set backs so its just what i needed to read.
I have a tutor at university that doesnt like me because i dont do things that the other students does i dont think he is fond of the fact that i make different decisions from everyone else.
So if you could pray for me that would be great, im literally telling everyone in my church and family to do the same as he can be difficult to have to deal with at times.
