It’s wild how the enemy moves sometimes. He doesn’t always show up in big, obvious ways. More often, he slips in quietly — through whispers, gossip, and twisted words. He plants seeds of doubt just when you’re stepping into a new season, a new opportunity, or a new level in your life.

Recently, I was reminded of this truth while walking with a friend through a tough situation. Someone twisted her words in a conversation she wasn’t even present for, then ran back and spread a false version of events. Classic “mean girl energy.” The kind that thrives on stirring up confusion and insecurity.

And it worked — for a moment. My friend began to question herself. Was she really capable of stepping into this new position? Was she truly ready?

But here’s the thing: that’s exactly how the enemy operates. When he sees someone capable, gifted, and prepared, he tries to disrupt their confidence. He knows he can’t touch what God has already anointed, so he goes after the mind. The battlefield is always in our thoughts.

My friend said something powerful: “New levels same devil.” And she’s right. Every time God calls you higher, there will be resistance. But the resistance is never a sign to shrink back — it’s confirmation that you’re on the right track.

Let me remind you (and her):

Gossip doesn’t define you. Someone else’s insecurities don’t limit you. The enemy’s lies don’t cancel God’s truth.

You are more than qualified. You are more than capable. And the very fact that the enemy is trying to attack you here tells me you are dangerous to his plans.

So don’t let sabotage make you question your place. Keep your head high. Walk in your excellence. And trust that what God has for you cannot be stolen by lies or manipulation.

The devil may try it, but he cannot prosper.

Affirmation & Prayer

Take a deep breath and say this out loud:

✨ “I am capable. I am chosen. No gossip, no lie, no scheme can take away what God has already prepared for me. I walk in confidence, I walk in purpose, and I trust that every attack is just confirmation of my elevation.” ✨

And let’s pray:

“God, remind me of who I am when doubt tries to creep in. Cover me with Your protection, silence every lie spoken against me, and strengthen me to stand firm in the truth of who You created me to be. I know that what You have for me cannot be stolen, delayed, or destroyed. In Jesus’ name, amen.
