Attempts to destroy you are encountered as this journey of life unfolds. God’s word reminds us that no weapon formed will have final authority in the battle. The same verse speaks of “tongues that rise in judgment against us we shall condemn” (Isaiah 54:17).
It might be impossible to stop criticism from others, which extracts quite a price from your emotional life. External voices, which challenge every deed and every word we say, can position you at the point of quitting. Perhaps nothing can be done about the criticism from external voices except release them to God.
However, what can be changed is the criticism from inner voices. Painful voices from yesterday’s life experiences that continue to echo in your mind will often destroy self-confidence as well as faith in God.
You can silence those inner voices by drawing authority from your re-created spirit. Destroy inner voices of criticism. Hear only the voice of God. Learn to live from the inside out. You can have a new beginning with a liberty to discover the person God created! Celebrate hearing His voice as your new freedom!
