Listen.. I'm just going to be the one to say it. Everybody is not your enemy, everybody is not trying to take advantage of you, Everybody is not talking about you, Everybody does not want what you have or want to be like you, you do not have to do life alone, women can be friends, men can trust other men and YOU absolutely can deal with people!
Oh let's not stop there. It's ok to say No (it's called healthy boundaries), It's ok to fail (this doesn't make you a failure, but a risk taker) and there is no need to please people (those who are meant to be with you will be). All of these things can be triggers to you having depression, anxiety, pride, self sabotage, loneliness, hate, sickness, insecurities and just unstable.
I have been guilty of being a victim of having the mindset of if not all of them, most of them. I have had to check myself a few times and ask myself why was I bothered about certain things and why was it taking up so much time in my head. You would be surprised at what you discover about yourself when you take the time to work on you.
Yes my friend.. Work on YOU!!
You have to be honest where you are. If I don't trust people, I have to get to the root of why I don't trust people. I have to ask myself at what point in my life did I determine that people were not trustworthy. This is a start to having Victory over TRIGGERS.
One thing I have discovered in my journey of life is when I'm out of position, I allow the things that trigger me to have more influence than that which I say I believe. If I believe according to Romans 8:31, If God be for us, who can be against us, why would I care about what someone thinks of me? Why waste energy trying to figure out people's intentions? God is for me, He is the revealer of all things, He has me in mind and if I stay connected to Him, to truth, NOBODY or NOTHING will be able to take me from that place of Victory except me.
There is Victory in what you believe. There is Freedom in what you believe. There is Healing in what you believe. We just have to make a decision to basically believe. What you believe matters. Who you allow yourself to connect to matters. I can only speak from the path that I choose to believe.
I choose to believe:
Romans 8:37-39 AMP
Yet in all things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us {so much that He died for us].
For I am convinced [and continue to be convinced- beyond and doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers,
nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I'm grateful for the grace given to me and the new mercies I receive everyday that leads me to Truth (new mindset, perspective). It pulls me right back into position when I recognize myself and I make a decision followed by action that comes into agreement with Him (Truth). For our struggle is not against flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this [present] darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) places. -Ephesians 6:12 AMP
Establish that your enemy is not people! Your enemy is mindsets, thought patterns that are not of truth. Not the person! Only TRUTH can make you Free! TRUTH can give you Victory over TRIGGERS (thought patterns and systems that are meant to keep you bound). That my friend is not a place that I want to reside. I refuse to be bound and unstable mentally, spiritually and Lord knows I need to work on physically LOL. Fix it Jesus
It's all by choice. What you choose and what you believe. Victory is available to all who choose to believe and walk according to it.
You can have Victory over TRIGGERS aIl you have to do is believe and walk in it.
You are ROYALTY! You can choose it.
It has already chosen YOU...
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
- Take time to think about things that trigger anger, hurt, depression, anxiety, sickness or whatever else that pulls you out of character.
- Write those things down and try to determine where it started.
- Pray Romans 8:37-39 over every single trigger.
- Follow up the prayer with action that agrees with what you prayed.
- Journal when you recognize that your triggers are no longer triggers and celebrate.

WOW!! girl I need this today!! This weekend… I allowed myself to be bound by thought patterns that were mostly untrue…It took my sister praying alongside me to remind me of my position and authority in Christ. For me I had to remember my limitations and my FREEDOMS and allow God to do the rest…Thank you Gifty that was FIYAH
This is good, so MANY takeaways and ALL of this resonates with me…"your enemy is not people, its mindsets, thought patterns; nitty people.
Well done Gifty 🤎
