I came to this study knowing that the enemy had tried to pick me off and take me out as a witness and vessel of God's power and glory. He tried to make me ineffective using very personal weapons against me. This battle and very personal struggle took many years of my life and damaged many relationships, some irreparable. I came to the study because my kids were going through counseling and the struggles they had left me feeling extremely guilty and responsible for what they have had to deal with in their lives. I knew that the guilt I was feeling needed to be dealt with by the only one qualified to heal my broken heart, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ. So I began this 9 week journey, and what the Lord revealed to me was so much more than what I thought I came to Him for. The Lord has delivered my heart from fear and anger and jealousy. Not something I came into this study to deal with, but God had work to do in these areas. It stemmed from my lack of trust and lack of security/identity in Christ, and the damaged relationships I have had with men, including my relationship with my own dad. God's healing hand reached down deep into my heart to reveal the root of my life long battle with fear and insecurity. Allelujah, I know when the deluge of lies begin, my weapons of warfare are the Word of God and the Blood of Jesus. "O death where is they sting?"
