I would came to know my first real deliverance in the fall of 1999, I was 19 years old a freshman in college. I would never forget what it felt like and how it changed my life. I had experience a lot of dramatic events in my early childhood and so depression controlled my life… I looked to men to for happiness but it was always short-lived.

Church had always been apart of my life at the age of eight I asked Jesus Christ into my heart…I was blessed to grew up in a bible believing…God fearing church that helped me to build a Godly foundation in my life. I always knew Jesus as my friend, provider but I never grasp a hold of him being my healer and my deliverer.

I remember falling into a really deep depression, I stopped going to my college classes, stop eating, I lost a lot of my hair and experience major weight loss. Right then and there I knew I needed to experience the healing power of Jesus. The church I was attending at the time preached an awesome message on the cross and how the death of Jesus crucify all of our addictions, strongholds, and even depression…that would be my first step towards healing. I let go of television, secular music and anything that could hinder my healing process…I even purchase a amazing book called "Lord Heal my Hurts” that book introduce me to the biblical phase “ Balm in Gilead” which confirmed to me that healing was available to me. From there I started really getting into the presence of God, I started to seek his face daily…I cried out to God like there was no tomorrow…I wanted to be delivered. I would defeat the enemy daily by quoting scriptures and till this day I can memorize those scriptures word by word. Then finally I was free! I was liberated from depression…I did not know how to act…it’s like someone who has been poor most of their lives and then winning the lottery…it was amazing! I became obsessed with being in God’s Presence; I would even between my colleges classes run to the bathroom to spend time with him. In God’s presence I found healing, deliverance and security. All hell would break loose but it would not shake me because my faith was so strong…the joy of the lord was my strength. It seemed like all my prayers would touch the throne of God… but I know now it was because of my faith.

Then the devil stepped in a brought a counterfeit man my direction…slowly but surely I was right back in that bondage that Jesus had delivered my from. I allow the enemy to steal what the lord had given me. I must admit I have not experience complete deliverance like that since. Everything you back slide you invite seven more demons and it is harder to come back each time you do so… and boy I have back slided once too many times. I know that the lord will bring that deliverance back to me but my advise to you all is to never leave Jesus, keep him close no matter how hard it gets…keep pressing in the end it will yield a righteous fruit. Hopefully one of these days I will experience that same deliverance like I did in the year 1999.

Hey Jennifer. Nice title!

I'm with you about how God delivers. Nobody like Him ever or ever will be. I hate that you got taken out of the race for a little while but it's time to get delivered like it's 1999!
