Taking Back What the Enemy Stole: Walking in Victory as an Overcomer in Him




"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." — John 10:10

Life is a battlefield. The enemy has one mission: to rob you of your joy, purpose, and identity. But as Overcomers in Him, we do not have to stay in the ruins of what was stolen. We have the power, through Christ, to reclaim everything the enemy tried to destroy.


My Lifelong Mindset: God Will Get the Glory

I’ve always believed that my life would be a testimony, not a tragedy. From an early age, I knew that every trial, every attack, and every setback came with a choice: Would I let the enemy win, or would I rise and give God the glory?

I chose God.

That mindset has carried me through every season—into my calling as a nurse, author, coach, and ministry leader. I refused to let the enemy define me. Instead, I allowed God to use everything—even the painful parts—for His purpose. And He has been faithful to redeem every single thing I once thought was lost.

Now, I want to help you do the same.


Steps to Take Back What the Enemy Stole


1. Acknowledge What Was Taken—Then Release It

You can’t reclaim what you won’t confront. Maybe the enemy stole your peace, confidence, relationships, opportunities, or dreams. Identify it, but don’t dwell on the loss. Instead, give it to God. He is a God of restoration.

"I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten." — Joel 2:25


2. Stand in Your Authority as an Overcomer

The enemy’s biggest weapon is deception. He wants you to believe you’re powerless, that your past defines you, that you’ll never recover. But the truth? You are more than a conqueror!

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." — Romans 8:37

Stop speaking like a victim. Start declaring who you are: A daughter of the King, an overcomer, a warrior in Christ.


3. Break Agreements with Defeat and Step into Empowerment

Many times, we unknowingly agree with defeat by speaking negativity over our lives: "I’ll never heal. I’ll never trust again. I’ll never get ahead." These are lies.

Cancel those agreements today and replace them with truth: ✔️ "I am strong in the Lord and in His mighty power." (Ephesians 6:10) ✔️ "The Lord restores my soul." (Psalm 23:3) ✔️ "God is making all things new in my life." (Revelation 21:5)


4. Take Faith-Filled Action

Reclaiming what was stolen isn’t just about believing—it’s about moving forward with faith-fueled action.

  • If your confidence was stolen, invest in personal growth.

  • If your finances were attacked, seek wisdom and strategies to rebuild.

  • If relationships were broken, trust God to heal or bring new ones.

  • If your dreams were delayed, start taking small steps toward them now.


5. Give God the Glory Through Your Comeback

Every attack you’ve endured will become part of your testimony. Let your healing, strength, and success be a declaration:

"What the enemy meant for evil, God used for good!" (Genesis 50:20)


This is Your Time to Rise

You are not defeated. You are not broken beyond repair. You are an Overcomer in Him.


The enemy may have tried to steal your story, but he will not get the final word.


Now, rise up. Reclaim what was stolen. Walk in victory. And let your life be proof that God always gets the glory!
