Thank God that Jesus was the type of Man that would go to the other side of the sea for a person. In Mark 5:1-29 He met a man that was in pain [physical suffering or distress, mental or emotional torment and suffering] and healed him by bring him to a right state of mind. This man was in so much pain from life that he became mentally ill to the point that many unclean spirits entered him. This man was left alone, tortured and inflicting more pain through cutting using sharp stones on his body. This pain caused him to run and live in a tomb. This pain caused him to be bound in chains until he was so enraged that he broke the chains only to bring himself further harm. He needed to be set free and that is what Jesus did for him.

Renewing the Mind
BE TRANSPARENT
You don’t have to be closed in. You are not a statue or a stone, you are human, you are real, you have a heartbeat and sometimes just like us all…it aches! It is okay to be real. It is OKAY to seek that which will make you stronger when you need it the most.
I am so thankful that God put in my life VERY positive and spirit-filled people. They accept me and love me with open arms always. There are no conditions on the love that they have for me and that is why I am not ashamed to call them F A M I L Y! But in all of this I have learned so much within the last few months of some pressing trials in my life….there’s more! Continue reading
Overcoming Strongholds
I wish that I could tell you that it was going to be very easy. That your process of renewal and healing would happen overnight or in a synch! But that is not actually the case. It is not easy to bounce back from a place that has caused severe wounds such as breaking ungodly soul ties, overcoming a divorce, the loss of a loved one in any capacity, overcoming sickness, and abandonment, betrayal, breaking barriers of addiction, depression, co-dependencies, or any other experiences that have taken up deep places in your soul.

My Perfect Storm
So I receive an email for a daily devotional titled… “An Unexpected Storm” which was driven off another book written by James Merritt “52 Weeks with Jesus”. He goes to describe the scene of the storm out of Mark 4:36-40 as it states:
Leaving the crowd, they took him with them, in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him. And a great windstorm arose and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” and he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” and the wind ceases and there was a great calm. He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?”
What really caught me was the closing statement “He will calm the tempest after it has served its purpose.”
Did my storm serve its purpose yet? Is that why it is not yet calm? That it has not yet ceased at this time?
