Life Recovery

Breaking the Chains that bind

All I can say is, "God is awesome!"

As I have mentioned before, I am an infant in my rebirth in Christ.  Since my baptism I have attended a First Step program at our church.  This teaches how to deal with our hurts, hangups and habits we have had through our life.  I think I could take this First Step several times and still get something new out of it. 

I was using the tools to deal with all that has happened in my past and all that will happen in my present and future.  However, Satan sure does have a way of bringing up those old hurts and hangups from the past and I forgot the tools I learned to defeat him.  I started to feel a darkness surrounding me and making me feel unworthy, inadequate.  I kept feeling like I didn't belong among my fellow arts ministry  members.  Even though I talk to God every day and surrender to Him every day, Satan was still able to break through and bring up all my old stuff.  I thought I had gotten rid of them and broke free.  Obviously, I didn't get rid of all my old stuff, since he was able to continue to use them to bring me down.

This weekend, while at the store, I saw this book, "Woman, thou art Loosed!" by T. D. Jakes.  The back of the book says, "The healing salve in this book will soothe all manner of traumas, tragedies and disappointments.  For the single parent and the battered wife, for the abused girl and the insecure woman, there is a cure for the crises!"   Don't let this scare you, as it further says on the back of the book, "Woman, Thou Art Loosed! will break the bands off the neck of every woman who dares to read it!"   I have dared to read it and I am only 1/2 way through it and I am so thankful to God that He has broken all the chains that bind me.  I am able to finally be free!!

Check out this book.  It will set you free.  It has me and I am so thankful!

Father God, you are so awesome and I thank You for the work You are doing in my life.  Thank You for breaking my chains so I can be free from the evil one's trap.  In Jesus' name. Amen
