nothing will ever harm you.<\/p>\n<p>We have all authority over the power of the enemy. \u00a0Sometimes we forget to use that power. \u00a0Even when we do, sometimes we <strong><em>still<\/em> <\/strong>get knocked for a loop. \u00a0It is difficult to keep getting back up when you get knocked down repeatedly. \u00a0I read a Scripture that totally changed my whole perspective on this. \u00a0Take a look at 2 Corinthians 4:10-11 (AMP):<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Always carrying about in the body the liability and exposure<br \/>\nto the same putting to death that the Lord Jesus suffered,<br \/>\nso that the [resurrection] life of Jesus also may be shown forth by and in our bodies.<br \/>\nFor we who live are constantly [experiencing] being handed over to death<br \/>\nfor Jesus\u2019 sake, that the [resurrection] life of Jesus<br \/>\nalso may be evidenced through our flesh which is liable to death.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I read this and had a \u201clight bulb\u201d moment. \u00a0<em>Because we are believers and followers of Christ, we carry Jesus\u2019 death and Resurrection within us!<\/em>\u00a0 The attacks we incur, the battles we fight are where we share in the death of Jesus. \u00a0If satan knocks me down, he may have won that battle but Jesus has already won the war. \u00a0Every time we rise up from defeat\u2014whether it is perceived or real\u2014we share in the Resurrection and ultimate victory of Jesus. \u00a0We can rise again because Jesus has already done it and we carry Him within ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>As I was mediating on all of this, the song \u201cRise Again\u201d came to mind. \u00a0But I was hearing it and singing it in a whole new light. \u00a0Since I have a personal relationship with Christ, it doesn\u2019t matter if people laugh at me or mock me. It doesn\u2019t matter if I get knocked down or thrown for a loop. \u201cI will be free&#8230;.\u201d \u201c&#8230;No power on earth can tie me down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For me, this revelation was earth-shattering and life-changing. \u00a0The storms will be easier to bear, and the attacks easier to survive because I know Jesus has already been there. \u00a0He has paved my way in victory and His victory is manifested in me. \u00a0<span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em><strong>Hallelujah!!!!<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Go ahead, drive the nails in My hands Laugh at me where you stand Go ahead, and say it isn&#8217;t Me The day will come when you will see &#8216;Cause I&#8217;ll rise again Ain&#8217;t no power on earth can tie me down Yes, I&#8217;ll rise again Death can&#8217;t keep Me in the ground Go ahead, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":164,"featured_media":16629,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4937],"tags":[7029,5889,7031,1287,425,7032,7033,2325,7028,4932,7030],"class_list":["post-21214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-psalms-hymns-and-spiritual-songs","tag-2-corinthians-410-11","tag-cynda-cottrill","tag-dallas-holm","tag-gch","tag-girlfriends-coffee-hour","tag-jesus-has-already-accomplished-it","tag-jesus-has-risen-and-so-shall-i","tag-jesus-resurrection","tag-luke-1019","tag-psalms-hymns-spiritual-songs","tag-rise-again","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/psalmshymnsspiritualsongskjv.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/s39pHp-rise","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/164"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21214"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21214\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21216,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21214\/revisions\/21216"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/girlfriendscoffeehour.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
