Nourishment for Your Spirit and Soul: January 19, 2026

The devil took a shot at me early today and it was a hit to my heart. My very first thought was get behind me satan! Matthew 16:23 was a Scripture I posted on my personal FB page earlier today and one my mind would go back to throughout it.

In this passage, Jesus was speaking to Peter, one of His beloved disciples. Why would He say this to him? Peter wanted Jesus to avoid the painful death He was foretelling. Jesus gives this strong rebuke. The attack against me this morning was personal but also an attack on my belief in God, my focus on Him, and Him alone rescuing me from the narcissistic marriage. The enemy likes to bring up the past. It’s true I’ve been in 3 relationships with narcissists.

The first almost destroyed me, but brought me back to God and was the launch pad into my destiny. Narcissist are attracted to me, I am attracted to them. My brother once said it best, you try to fix people. You cannot fix people. The second was very toxic. I was reeled right in after over a year alone. It only took two weeks in his home before the Lord got me out. Finally, my marriage. I think he was more deceitful than anyone I’d ever met. He married me. It was over a year later that his colors came out. We went back and forth for a year and a half when God said enough, he will kill you.

It was as if a veil had lifted from my eyes. It was time to truly go no contact. Change my number, keep the restraining order. God started showing me so many things I’d been blind to. It was God that rescued me and it is God that keeps me through this healing journey. I’m not hiding behind Him, He is standing in front of me. He is protecting me. He is healing me. He is allowing me to glean from His wisdom so that I can help others.

Back to the verbal attack on me this morning. It was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It was the devil trying to move me, trying to shame me. I am so thankful that Jesus saved me in my mess. He came to save and deliver and that’s what He did for this woman. 🦅 ~ Prophetess Michelle, #f8ithgal #Joy

“But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.” ~ Matthew 16:23
