The Glorious Journey

It was at this point that I knew I could not live the rest of my life like this and if I was to try, then my life would be shorter than if I was living in freedom. The only place I had to go to was God's word, I needed it for dear life. Because of the insomnia I would be awake all hours of the night reading, praying, and seeking God's answer to restoring my life and my health. There were several keys to my climbing out of the pit, and now I would like to share them with you.



The first key would be the Word. Scriptures began to come alive. Secondly, I received insight from books I read namely, "The Practice of the Presence of God", by Bro. Lawrence; "When Heaven Invades Earth", by Bill Johnson; and "Get Out of that Pit" and "Breaking Free" by Beth Moore. Finally, after two years, I sought the counsel of a few wise, Godly, friends. And, God spoke words of encouragement, direction and confirmation through people who knew absolutely nothing about what I was going through. He is so amazing!



I will leave you with one of the first scriptures that came alive to me. Philippians 1:12, "I tell you brethren (sisters) that the things that happened to me have turned out for the furtherance of the gospel (good news)", or as the Message puts it, "I want to report to you friends that my imprisonment has had the opposite effect, instead of being squelched, the message has actually prospered." Praise the Lord! The things I went through were not for nothing! God will, God will, GOD WILL use it to further His kingdom. He WILL turn all things for good!
