You're giving them more power than they have

It occurs to me that most of the evils we face in life are only the personification of evil because we assent our own power to that evil. In essence, we are giving the situation/evil/depression all of our own power. Which makes sense, evil is clamoring for it, because evil has no power of its own, and we are afraid of power, because secretly, we fear ourselves come alive.

But, in truth, we are the ones who hold power, not power of our own, mind you, but power none the less. We hold the breath of God in our very souls, and evil can only breathe deep when and exactly because we relinquish this breath to it out of fear. Truly, this has been evil’s game from the start of Creation. What was the move in the garden by the snake other than a power play to get Adam and Eve to give up the power that God gave them, relinquishing it to him. You can infer that end from every word the snake spewed. He was powerless. His every thought was consumed by the fact that he might somehow get the humes to give away the power that God bestowed upon them.

Truest of all, the power given is really God’s power and we are but the stewards of that power. Ironically, however, God is the type of God who gives His power with no strings attached. He allows us to use, hoard, or relinquish that power as we see fit. Which is why evil has any power at all. The power of death, physical and spiritual, has always been controlled by the original bearers of God’s power. It is when we relinquish that power over to the evil forces that crave what could never really be theirs.

So the easy simple answer to our problem in life is to stop giving God’s power over to these forces. We do not even need to reclaim that which we have given away, for God gives in abundance. All we really need to do to stem the tide is to retain what God gives us, and we will overcome the evil forces of death, depression, timidity, doubt, and all that goes bump in the night.

Now, the easy part is saying it. The hard part is doing it.
