Fortunately, God had people to prophetically declare over me, beginning in my childhood, that I was a prophet and I would be used mightily by God to bring healing and deliverance to others. It was much easier for me to believe the lie that I was no good, I would never amount to anything, and that I was not blessed. Rather than to believe the truth of God's word which declared, I was fearfully and wonderfully made, created in the likeness and image of God, and I had been chosen by Him before I was formed in my mother's womb and my destiny was great. I'm grateful there was always at least one person, at different stages of my life, to see in me what I could not see in myself and would not allow me to stay in a defeated place.
