Dede we missed you? but we totally understand. Congratulations!!!! I know you guys are just so excited. So I will let you in on what happened for me last night.
So last night I actually just opened up, and shared about the Triumph that I have recently had in my life with God. He has just really brought me to a place to use my testimony, and not worry about what others think about me and just know that others can benifit from my testimony. So I shared about what God has done since being back from Mercy. I talked about how God had given me the word FREEDOM, and that I was supposed to share about how God set me free from my addictions, and slavery to sin. Then about how satan tried to take away my freedom and tell me that I was never free from my sin/bondage. He had me thinking that Mercy was a waste and that nothing happened there for me, and that I might even have to go back. Then I let go and let God in. God began to restore my freedom and set me free again, and bring me even more freedom than I had while at mercy. I talked about how I AM FREE from my sin, and I even shared what some of those sins were (that was huge for me) and how God HAS set me free and I do not do those things anymore. Yes sometimes they come up in my mind, but thats when I take those thoughts captive in the name of Jesus Christ and I submit those to God, resist the devil, and he has to flee. (I learned that in pathways to healing, and from Summer thanks guys!!!).
So anyway, that is what I shared last night, and then I learned so much from other people's testimonies too. It was really good. Being vulnerable I have found brings in itself A LOT OF FREEDOM!! Praise God. He is showing me that I not only need to be vulnerable to others, but be vulnerable with HIM. Love you guys!!! Im so glad I am a part of this community.
