The Bible says, “The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” —Exodus 14:14.

There comes a moment in every believer’s life when God steps in so strongly that the very people who meant to harm you end up removing themselves. They fall away. They expose their own motives. They disqualify themselves without you lifting a finger. And when it happens, it’s not coincidence—it’s divine intervention. Scripture teaches us that God Himself fights for His daughters, especially when the enemy rises like a flood.

When God goes before you, you don’t have to argue, defend, retaliate, or chase anyone. You simply stand. What was designed to break you becomes the very thing God uses to elevate you.

Sometimes, the dismissal looks like people falling away because they cannot stand the light of truth you now walk in. Sometimes it’s the removal of toxic voices, narcissistic manipulation, or those who once fed on your insecurity. Other times, God allows their schemes to backfire right in their hands. But one thing is sure—when God rises to fight, no enemy can stand.

Psalm 37:1–2 reminds us, “Do not fret because of evildoers… for they will soon wither like the grass.” God never asked you to chase your enemies. He asked you to trust Him. While you’re focusing on healing, purpose, growth, and wholeness, God is dealing with the things—AND people—you don’t see.

Imagine a courtroom where you are the one falsely accused. You are sitting silently while the enemy talks, schemes, and tries to paint you in a false light. But before the judge says a word, the enemy begins tripping over their own lies. Their story contradicts itself. Their motives spill out. Their arrogance exposes them. And without you speaking a single sentence, not only are they dismissed from the courtroom—you walk out vindicated.

That is what God does:

He allows your enemies to remove themselves from the narrative because they cannot stand in a place God has ordained for your victory.

They will sabotage their own schemes. They will tear down their own alliances. They will disqualify themselves from your future—all while God holds your peace together.

Because the Word Promises This

• Psalm 23:5 – “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.”
  (They will watch God elevate you while their own plans crumble.)
• Isaiah 54:17 – “No weapon formed against you shall prosper.”
  (Weapons may form, but they self-destruct before they reach you.)
• 2 Chronicles 20:17 – “You will not have to fight this battle… stand firm and see the deliverance of the LORD.”
  (The battle is God’s. The victory is yours.)

When God says the enemy will flee seven different ways (Deuteronomy 28:7), it means the very forces that rose against you will scatter themselves without you ever having to lift your hand.

Victory Prayer

Father, I thank You that You are my Defender, my Shield, and my Champion. I release every battle, every burden, and every enemy into Your hands. Fight for me in the areas where I cannot see. Expose every false motive. Dismantle every scheme. Remove every person who is not meant to walk into my next season. Thank You for silencing every lying tongue and causing every enemy to dismiss themselves—not by my strength, but by Your power. I declare victory, peace, and divine protection over my life. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

“And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.”Perfect when exposing how narcissists and toxic people appear loving, spiritual, or harmless — but underneath are manipulative and destructive. 2 Corinthians 11:14 NIV

When you grow up in dysfunction or survive narcissistic abuse, your heart learns a language God never intended you to speak. You learn to distrust what’s good and normalize what’s harmful. You’re conditioned to believe that settling is love, silence is peace, and control is safety. But the truth is, nothing is as it seems. Toxic people become masters at twisting realities until you question your own. Proverbs 4:23 warns us, “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” But how do you guard a heart that has never been taught what real love looks like? When love has always come with strings, conditions, raised voices, manipulation, or emotional abandonment, you begin to think chaos is normal and peace feels uncomfortable.

Growing up in dysfunction trains you to overlook disrespect because it feels familiar. Narcissistic relationships teach you to minimize your own needs because your survival depended on keeping the peace. But that is not love — that is conditioning. 1 Corinthians 13:4–5 says, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud… it is not self-seeking.” Yet toxic people will call your boundaries “attitude,” your self-worth “rebellion,” and your healing “disrespect.” They make you question your discernment, even though the Holy Spirit has been warning you all along.

Think of it like a funhouse mirror — those distorted mirrors at amusement parks that stretch, shrink, or twist your reflection. That is what toxic family dynamics and narcissistic relationships do to your soul. They distort your identity until you can’t tell what’s real anymore. You look at yourself and see “not enough,” “too emotional,” “too sensitive,” “too much,” or “not worthy,” because someone who benefitted from your brokenness told you that version of you was true. But God’s Word shows you the real reflection — fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), chosen (1 Peter 2:9), beloved (Jeremiah 31:3), and worthy of honor and truth.

The danger of toxic conditioning is that it teaches you to distrust your own eyes. You stay in places God has been trying to deliver you from because the familiar feels safer than the unknown. You confuse control for care and manipulation for devotion. But the Lord exposes the truth gently and powerfully. John 8:32 declares, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Freedom begins when you allow God to re-teach your heart what love truly is. It begins when you recognize that settling is not humility, silence is not obedience, and enduring abuse is not loyalty.

Sis, nothing is as it seems when your heart has been trained by pain. But the moment God begins to heal your vision, you see clearly. You realize that real love doesn’t confuse you. It doesn’t drain you. It doesn’t make you walk on eggshells or apologize for existing. Real love — God’s love — is steady, safe, and freeing. And once you taste it, you will never again call bondage “home.”

Your circle is more than the people you talk to—it is the spiritual atmosphere you live in every day. Proverbs 13:20 reminds us, “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.” Who you surround yourself with shapes who you are becoming. Your circle is your soil. Just like Jesus taught in the parable of the sower in Luke 8, the seed is always good, but it either thrives or dies depending on the ground it falls on. If your soil is filled with negativity, jealousy, gossip, and unhealed hearts, then your spirit will constantly fight to survive. But if your soil is rich with encouragers, faith-filled individuals, prayer partners, and truth-tellers, you will flourish just like Psalm 1:3 describes: “A tree planted by streams of water, bearing fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither.”

Your circle determines whether you live plugged in or slowly drained. I often imagine it like a lamp—your purpose glows beautifully when connected to the right source, but the wrong people will quietly unplug you until you don’t even notice your light is fading. Scripture warns us in 1 Corinthians 15:33, “Do not be deceived: Bad company corrupts good character.” The wrong circle chips away at you silently—your joy, your clarity, your identity—until you realize you’re dimmer than you used to be.

Think about Jonah. One man running from God caused a storm that hit everyone on the boat with him (Jonah 1). Some storms you are battling didn’t originate with you—they came from who you allowed on your boat. Sometimes the key to peace isn’t rebuking the wind; it’s making sure the right people are sailing with you. Jesus Himself modeled the importance of choosing wisely. He had the crowds, the twelve, the three, and the one—not everyone received the same access to His heart. Likewise, not everyone in your life is meant to walk closely with you.

Sis, your circle is not casual—it is spiritual. It can water your growth or wither your confidence. It can pull you closer to Christ or slowly disconnect you from the truth. The good news is that God is sending people who will celebrate you and not compete with you; people who will pray for you, not prey on you; people who will lift your arms when life feels too heavy. Protect your atmosphere. Guard your spirit. And choose relationships that lead you back to the feet of Jesus. Because your future—your healing, your peace, your purpose—is connected to the power of your circle
