| DON'T LET THE DEVIL LABEL YOU!!! |

Today I had an experience that could have, if I had really let it, cause me to stumble and fall totally out of my character. But, PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO IS THE HEAD OF MY LIFE, I did not allow the enemy any room to let that happen.
This morning I had an interview for a job through our local school district and this was for a cafeteria worker. I had been told by another lady that worked in the office that the manager over food service had a 'Really' bad attitude and that she could really make a person fall out of character because of her attitude. LOL! I thought, "Wow, surely it can't be that bad!" Umm...well...that was in understatement for sure!!! When I got there, I walked into her office and she said, "May I help you?" I told her I was there for an interview at 8:30 and told her my name. She immediately, before I could say another word, said, "I CAN'T HIRE YOU!" And when I say she said it in CAPS, she said in in CAPS! lol... I was shocked, but politely asked her, "May I ask why not?" She said, with an ole stand attitude,:-D , " Because you have an arrest on your background report!" To my shock, I asked her when and where and what was it for, because I had no idea what she was talking about. She snatched up my application, with an attitude and looked at it and tossed it back down and said, "Back in 1991!" I said, "Are you kidding me, something minor 17 yrs ago and nothing else on there, and you can't hire me for that?" She flat out looked me in my face with this smug kinda smirk on her face and said, "NO! Sorry!" OH MAN!!! YESSSSS, I WAS MADDDDDD!!! She sat down and went back to work as though I was not still standing there. I gathered my Integrity up, instead of going off, and said, "thank you" and walked out the door. Of course, when I got to my car and got in and sat down, I began to cry. I wasn't angry at her, I was mad at the devil!!! After she told me that, I could not believe that after all these yrs, the devil brought up something wayyyy back from my past to try and label me again. I was heated!!!!!!!
I cried for a minute, called my husband,(Oh Thank You Father for this man, because he so encouraged me this morning and told me not to worry about it because it must not been the job wanted me to have) and after talking to him, I felt better. But still, I was angry. How dare the devil try to use something from 17 yrs ago in my past to try to bring discouragement to me and to try to make me look bad. I came to the church and went to the prayer room, and I began to talk to the Lord about that and just told Him how I felt...and I was not nice about it!!! lol!!! I WAS MAD!!! This is what He begin to show me, "You are the Rightheousness of God. No one can label you, not even the devil. Just because of your past doesn't mean that you are still that person. You have my seal upon your head. Not the seal or the label of the enemy. Though the facts are there on paper of your past, but, the Truth of who you are 'Now' remains!" Wow!!! What a revelation to me!
4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which [he had yet] being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
Even though the devil wanted to label me again from my past, God wants me to know that that is not who I am now. I am the Righteousness of God! Forget what the devil thinks or what he says about me, I must cling to and know who I am in Him! My heart is enlightened. My Daddy knows me, and He loves me for who I am. He don't even care who I was then, all He knows is who I am now and what I am going to be!!! 5:21 For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Because I chose to walk out of her office in my integrity and not go off and act like the devil wanted me to act(of course my flesh show wanted to) I truly believe that God is going to honor that.
Proverbs 20:7 (Amplified Bible)7The righteous man walks in his integrity; blessed (happy, fortunate, enviable) are his children after him.
I refuse to allow the devil to label me for anything in my past!!! Hahaha...I sit back and laugh at him now, because you know what? HE IS A JOKE!!! My Father has a good plan for me! I will wait! I will be patient! But most of all, I will remember....I AM THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD!!!

| Next time the devil reminds you of your past remind him of his future! Sure, I remember my past too, but I know that the devil is going to the lake of fire! |
