“We are no longer the victim, so we have to stop speaking and behaving as if we still are. Every time we declare defeat over our own lives, we keep ourselves trapped in the same cycle we’re trying to escape. When we speak from the pain of our past, we unintentionally imprison ourselves in it. That cycle of hopelessness becomes familiar, and we start believing it’s all we deserve.
But God never intended for us to live chained to yesterday. He calls us to demonstrate His power in our lives— His dominion, His authority, the kind of power that brings
healing, restoration, and real freedom. We are not defined by what hurt us. We are defined by the God who rescued us.” - Barbara Casas
Such great insight from a woman of God this morning 👑
