I will start by
introducing to you who I am and let you share a part of my life as a bruised
and scarred women of my past; My name is
Sherry and I am honored to be able to share with you spiritually the obstacles
the Lord has carried me through. I am 39 years old, divorced and have never had
children. The man that I
was married to I loved with all of my heart. We had been married almost 10
years. We were sinners the first part of our marriage, but both had an
encounter with a holy and awesome God that changed us into dedicated and
faithful servants of our Lord and God. Five years we served Him, we were truly
in love with God and were involved in any area that He needed us in. I loved my
husband very much and had no inclination that anything could destroy our
marriage. Nor would I ever believe that it could. We never missed
church, but one morning we woke to get ready for church and he wasn’t
going. I went on to church only to find that he was gone when I returned home.
I received only a phone call to learn that he wanted a divorce. I was
devastated to say the least. I went straight to a piano and sat down and played
and sang a song that says….’God who can satisfy my soul like you
and who on earth can comfort me like you do. Who could ever be more faithful
and true? I said, " God I will trust you. There is a
fountain, who is a King. He is a victorious warrior and He is Lord of
Everything. He is my Rock and My Shelter. He is the one that reigns upon the
Throne. God was my
strength through all the pain. But after a year of struggling, I fell back on
God. And have ended up in many abusive relationships. One relationship led me
to hard drugs, and this man beat me. I just wanted to be loved. I ran from God
for 3 years. I ran hard cause He would not let me go. His love, His Mercy and
forgiveness I could not get away from. Through it all
I became numb to where no one could hurt me anymore. I went to church and
thought I was doing great. I was up one week and slammed by the devil the next
week. The devil could control me at any given moment. He would remind me of the
pain, he touched that place in my heart that hurt so
much. That place that I kept hid, that place that even I did not recognize was
there. I am so humbled
to say that God has set me free. He has showed me that demon (shall I say) in
my life and I am accepting my rightful inheritance as Jehovah’s Daughter.
The devil stole
a lot from me. But Jesus says that when the devil be
found He has to restore 7 fold. I have a burden
to help women. God has been pouring His Spirit upon me and showing me things I
could not know other wise. The Holy Spirit is compelling me to give out what He
is placing in me. It’s like a fire burning in me. He is telling me to go
and help hurting ladies, to set at liberty those women that have been bruised. I am like a
child standing only in the shadow of God, You see in His presence I am bold to
say, Devil get your hands off of me and these ladies and restore unto us all
that you have stolen from us. I can picture
me in the shadow of God, jumping and screaming and beating up on the devil and
at the same time making sure I stay in Gods shadow. You see I can do nothing
without my Jesus. With Him I can do all things. He strengthens me and causes me
to prevail only because it is done in His Name. Ladies God
wants holiness in us; He wants to restore us to our rightful inheritance. We
must walk holy before Him. He can and He will restore us. Be Blessed |
