We need to continue to tell ourselves that it doesn't matter what comes our way, we will prevail, because we know the promises the Lord God has made over my life. Don't concern yourself with nonsense, negativity, lies, deceit, vindictiveness, turmoil or any other synonym you wish to add. When we take even 1 minute to stay around those things nothing good comes out of it. Do you know certain people have a spirit of drama, pessimism, and opposition in them? It's true. So unless there's repentance (asking for forgiveness from God) and it breaks off of them, such a spirit will rub off on us if we closely linked to such spirits. I have been a teacher for about 20 years now and I know when certain students hang out with certain students. I can see similar spirits in them. I am hardly ever surprised when I find out who are friends with who. It's not different with adults. Birds of many features will flock around the same birds of many features. How will we prevail if we're around negative birds? How will we be able to get and remain focused if we're in the same flock? We have to stay far away from the people who don't mean us no good or we will be sucked in.
Remember, Jesus prevailed against all who came against Him, right? So, don't get sucked in. Flee and get around new birds called eagles. Eagles prevail and they're going places even if it means flying solo. "...but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint" -- Isaiah 40:31 -- proof that you will prevail if you act like an eagle.
