Beware – A spirit of self-pity is prowling right now
His victims? God’s children and Servants
Self-pity is a pathetic emotion. It will lie to you. It will exaggerate. It will drive you to tears. It will cultivate a “victim mentality” in your head. And, in the worst-case scenario, it can bring you to the point of wishing to die. We have an example of that in the life of Elijah. He was so tired and the attack of Jezebel against his life brought discouragement in his heart.
The spirit of Self-pity will tell you that you are not enough, no one cares for you.
We open the doors for that pathetic liar, self-pity, when we establish an unrealistic standard and then can’t live up to it.
He comes also when we compare ourselves to others, thinking that they are better than we are or succeed better that we do. All those thoughts are true in our head. But, not at all in reality.
We are all different and we all have a destiny that God wants us to walk into.
Performance is the best tool and favorite tool of the spirit of self-pity.
If the standards we give to ourselves are not realistic, we will fall under the attack of that spirit.
We must concentrate on the thought that God has created us all, He is our Father. He loves us unconditionally.
Let’s allow God to set our standard. He is merciful and want to be our reference, what He says and things about us.
Also, the spirit of self-pity chooses the night mostly to make you thing to your past, the bad things that happen to you, the disappointments the unrealistic expectations that we have for ourselves and too often towards others. It puts a burden on God’s servants as they receive too much complaints sending a message that they never do enough or are accused of things they are not responsible for.
Right now, it is the spirit that prevents the Church of Christ, He Body, to walk in unity.
I am only the messenger. I transmit what God show me in the spirit.
