Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was imprisoned by the shackles, and they had characterized an invisible fence around my heart and my mind. The shackles were dominating the cares of my life. There was a lustful power that the shackles were utilizing to keep me entangled in its midst. I couldn't see my way out even if I had tried. I was in complete bondage, and every part of me was shackled to destructive behavior. The shackles were powerful because they had cultivated over time, and they were strong, and there were many of them holding me captive. I was so angry with life and the circumstances that had taken place in my life that I couldn't even begin to learn how to control my behavior. My sanctuary that I had built was full of hatred and destruction. I had started to construct a critical inner voice, and it was like an internal coast that negatively undermined any goals that I started to make that were positive. I started to think that I would never become successful. I started to think that people were all out to get me. I started to criticize everyone that was around me. I found myself always searching for the bad in everyone. The voices in my head were telling me to go ahead and try to kill myself again. This time, I felt that I could make it happen; I would die. I didn't think about my children at all. I felt that they would be better off without me. I had been through too much, and this life didn't mean me any good. Then one day, I go over to my grandmother's house for a barbecue dinner, and the Avon lady was over there, selling my grandmother some bath soaps, and she invites me to church.

I knew that I had to keep moving forward and not looking back. Our good friendship was over, and I just needed to continue to move forward. I had come too far to turn around now. And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Romans 12:1-2)

Download or read book Loosed Shackles written by Rosemary Abram and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-02-04 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than anything, I feel that a personal relationship with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit (the Holy Trinity) is the only true goal of Christianity. It is out of this belief and my experience of professing Christianity (but not truly grasping its true goal) that this devotional emerged. One enters salvation with a happy overflowing heart. Then, as we begin to travel this life choice journey, we find ourselves confronted with the trappings of misdirected religion. To understand religion, let's look at its definition at www.thefreedictionary.com: a. The belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers, regarded as creating and governing the universe: respect for religion. b. A particular variety of such belief, especially when organized into a system of doctrine and practice: the world's many religions. c. A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader. It is "c" above where we can get off course and into those nonbiblical dos and don'ts, the rules and regulations, pomp and pageantry, the placing of the Christian leader on a pedestal, things that are constructed on human frailty. It is to these confining and restrictive attitudes that I say enough! In this fifty-two-week devotional, I am sharing some of the truths God has revealed to me in his Word that helped free me and put me on the path to attaining my own more personal relationship with him, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I hope that you too will find sound doctrine in the Word of God that is presented in these weekly inspection and reflection writings. May the Scriptures and principles enable you to walk free in the liberty that we have in Jesus Christ (Gal. 5:1). It is my desire that they will help you recognize and overcome any aspects of "religious thinking" currently preventing you from attaining a more fulfilling and free relationship with the Holy Trinity. Live out your salvation in victory, breaking the shackles that can bind!
