my testimony isnt really unique, but I don't think it is common to hear about, because alot of people dont react to pain the same way.
There are people hurt, broken, and shattered. In my case, I was hurt alot as a child, then as I got older I was broken. Every day I got older I would shatter more and more. The enemy's assignment was to stomp on those pieces and break them into smaller pieces. So I shattered more each day. I think people who are completely shattered become experts at hiding their pain, because they don't want someone to notice, come in, and try to assist with the same approach that never works. We would be so used to dissapointment that openning up allowed allowed us to be vulverable to more pain from the resistance from the demonic. And the person, with good intensions usually underestimated the severity of the problem. Its only when God begins healing that people can begin sensing the battle going on inside. And God begins to heal us when we begin to believe that He can heal us, and wants to heal us.
Satan tried to kill me many times, even before I was born. Then he would attack me in every way shape and form. I lived for the day when I found a loophole in the scriptures allowing myself to commit suicide. It was my fantacy to leave this failed life, shattered beyond repair, and every attempt to escape and find joy and peace would be destroyed.
But I want to tell you about a God that heals. He can. He does. He will. He started last year when I started to believe. I would go anywhere I heard God is, doing amazing things I couldn't believe He still did. But I had tried everything else and nothing worked. My way didnt work. If you are hurt, broken, or worse I promise you there is hope. Cry out to Him. Go wherever He is. Suspend disbelief, and go with an open mind. God's ways are not our ways, and what He does doesnt always make sense. I never thought it was possible to trust, love, hope. But Im here today not only healed, but restored beyond anything I couldve conceived. There is freedom in the Lord. I still am being healed of some things. One thing He took away was my addiction to alcohol and drugs. If you think that is significant, you are right. But I believe the bigger miracle in my life was God taking all those shattered pieces and turning those into a beautiful mosaic of the my present reality that I experience. Whats greater is I know He has more for me to look forward to.
