When I realized the promises that were given from God I realized that I no longer have to live with disappointments, hurt, and pain but instead can live through the Power of Jesus Christ. Once I understood that the Word of God has Power I started speaking and walking in truth.

There are two Scriptures that I live by:

Isaiah 54:17 “No weapon that is formed against ME shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against ME in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.”

Proverbs 18:10 “The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.”

I took these two scriptures and applied them to my life and kicked the enemy out of my home! I proclaim: “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! I have the victory and satan you have to go. You have no part in my home because the word of god has declared you powerless!”

When you are in trouble, call JESUS, JESUS, JESUS and He wilI answer. The Name of JESUS is comforting, healing and forgiving. Many times I cried but calling on the Name of JESUS relieved my fears because there is Power in that name. The doors have been opened and JESUS has shown me Grace and Mercy and has given me the strength to become the woman that God says I am.

Who does God say that I am? God says that I am a virtuous woman who is kept by Him and filled with love, patience strength, and confidence. My trust and faith is in my Lord and Savior, JESUS Christ.

Psalm 27:6 says, “And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round me; in His tent I will offer sacrifices and shouting of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.”

There are several songs I listen to and sing that magnifies and glorifies the name of JESUS:

1. Break Every Chain – Tasha Cobb

2. My God is Awesome- Charles Jenkins

3. Take me to the King- Tamale Mann

4. Something about the Name of Jesus- The Rance Allen Group

I am hoping you will use some or all of these songs when the devil comes around because believe me, he is coming and when he comes after me I am going to say, “Devil, you have no place in my home because God has given me the power to be free of you. JESUS and I are stronger than you and we can and WILL defeat you! I, Mary Simmons am now a new creature in JESUS filled with deliverance and set free. Devil, you HAVE NO PLACE IN MY HOME!”

Be Blessed In Jesus Name.
