Changed Lives: Crippled by Shame, Empowered by Faith

 

John was homeless, hopeless, and overwhelmed by shame. He simply could not beat his addictions. Multiple tragedies tempted him to find solace in old habits. But in his darkest moments, he sensed God calling to his heart.

Charles H. Craft has written 'I give you authority "
Quote" Through years of working in inner healing and deliverance, I have become convinced that the enemy primary area of attack is our self image. He does not want us to discover who we are.
YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD
PUT ON THE ARMOR!
WE ARE IN A WAR AGAINST EVIL. CHRIST already won at calvary. Satan is a defeated foe.DONT be afraid of him

Darling, I too had the same problem. You are not alone. I was baptised in my early teens but on my first marriage I did things that I too was deeply ashamed of. Although I had come back to God many years ago, my shame was still there. So I re-committed myself to God and got re-baptised just a couple of months ago. The peace I feel now is just wonderful. I pray that you soon will feel the same peace when you surrender to God. God and satan cannot occupy the same space! God bless you.
