In August I came to the
end of my rope at last while sitting in a deep gorge covered by a beautiful
lake at a friend’s cottage. I was by myself and in the deepest blackest
depression without even knowing it. The future was unknown and because of that
it seemed dark.I knew I would never stop believing in God but I wasn’t sure if He would ever come to my rescue anymore. Still, with the little bit of will I had left, just a breath of life left it seemed, and the smallest tiniest amount of faith, I called out to Him in what was hardly a whisper for help. Things started changing. The blackness left me gradually and I had the energy to endure life again with a little bit of prospect for the unknown future.
From my local church I continued to embrace the knowledge that God wants us to live abundantly in all ways: provision, prosperity, health, and all that constitutes the fabric of physical life as well as the spiritual. I began to see more clearly who I really was in the Lord and what He thought of me and of the rest of us. This was a higher place. Ultimately, with thee right guidance based on a series of scripture backed sermons and texts I began to realize that when I take authority over my difficulties from this higher place of knowledge it unleashes an extremely effective devastating power. Like using tanks in a battle in front of soldiers. The greatest thing is that this power was actually evident and measurable.I had that warm fuzzy close feeling when I found that I was saved 10 years ago. Then I gradually let the cares of life pull me down more and more and there were specially evident attacks on my marriage and family. Can’t blame Satan. He’s doing what he does best and doing it very well. I kept wanting the relationship to be stronger. There were some peaks here and there but it seemed that God had no more love or power to give me and I, of course, kept blaming myself while listening to the accuser and to the remnants of the religious spirit of some churches which is Satan’s great ally.
I wanted more of God but still nothing. God revealed to me, during the days following my stay in my friend’s cottage, that my relationship of my perception of God’s love had gone as far as it could go. From now on, if I wanted more it would have to be based on something new. Just like a ship can only have as much power based on its petroleum fuel it needs to be under nuclear power to do other things. This new source was the power of authority and it’s laws. On that I will not go into because any faith-based church will be able to teach on the specifics.
It seems I have absorbed more knowledge in the last month than in the last 10 years as a Christian. To generally mention out what I learned in point form.
