We’ve all had times when we experience criticism from others, life setbacks … or we run into that person who appears to have it all together, complete with the big, shiny this or that, right as we’re going through a challenge. If we are not armed and grounded in what God says about us, we can experience an identity crisis that involves our purpose and our value and affects our true impact for the Kingdom of God.

The Word of God tells us that Satan is the accuser of the brethren, bringing indictments of inadequacy, condemnation and discouragement, as well as the temptation to become envious or even jealous.  It’s then that we need to follow the example of Jesus as he was being tempted by the Devil in the desert.  Jesus didn’t debate with Satan.
