He’ll break these chains<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There I was, after serving the Lord for so many years, divorced, bankrupt, broke, and broken.\u00a0 I lived with the illusion that God was in control and thought that He would take care of everything.\u00a0 I \u201csort of\u201d believed in miracles, but never saw one.\u00a0 I was taught that they didn\u2019t exist in this age.\u00a0 \u201cGod where are you?\u201d\u00a0 I still loved Him, but where was He when I needed Him?\u00a0 I just about gave up serving Him at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eventually I settled back into the my comfort zone.\u00a0 I began serving again, remarried a wonderful woman, and thought that God was still in control.\u00a0 Eventually I moved from Cincinnati to Columbus \u201cin service to God.\u201d\u00a0 I was sent to a church that was hurt and struggling.\u00a0 Though unwelcomed at first. I settled in and with other brothers began to build.\u00a0 There I was settling into my comfort zone again!\u00a0 Then after a series of circumstances I found myself in a lawsuit.\u00a0 Some wanted to follow \u201cthe ministry,\u201d but most of us wanted to follow the Lord so \u201cthe ministry\u201d lovers sued us! How could brothers and sisters do such a thing?\u00a0 And I thought God was in control!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There I was again, after serving the Lord for so many years, broke and broken.\u00a0 What was I to do?\u00a0 But eventually we got through the lawsuit and I began settle into my comfort zone still again! Then something different happened.\u00a0 The Lord, who I thought was in control, let me know in His subtle sweet way, that I was in control and it was time to surrender!\u00a0 I cried out to Him and He led me on a journey, a journey of true deliverance.\u00a0 I had to confess that my life did not match the Bible.\u00a0 I was not living the good life, but a common life fraught with lack in every direction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What did God do?\u00a0 He sent me to books, Christian TV, various ministers, and on a eventual journey to World Revival Church in Kansas City where I witnessed to power of God for the first time.\u00a0 My hunger increased.\u00a0 I began to seek the Lord for what He promised in His Word and He led me to a man named Gary Keesee (Pastor, Faith Life Church in New Albany, OH) who understood God\u2019s kingdom law like no one I ever heard before, and changed everything for me.\u00a0 We learned that God wants to bless us and equip us to take territory for His kingdom through everyday living.\u00a0 We went from broke to more than enough.\u00a0 Miracles began to happen and now Sandy and I are living (and still learning to live) the good life promised by God in His Word.\u00a0 We have a long way to go and are excited about the journey ahead!<\/span><\/p>\n

I share this VERY COMPACTED story for those of you are crying out to God for deliverance.\u00a0 You must realize that God is only in control to the extent we give Him that place in our life, a place where He, as the Holy Spirit, can lead.\u00a0 We must be willing to be led.\u00a0 Religion has bound many of us hand and foot.\u00a0 God wants to set us free and He will if you truly cry out to Him for He will come to the rescue of a seeking heart.\u00a0 Please continue to visit this blog and my You Tube Channel because it is my desire to see others set free indeed!\u00a0 God bless you richly!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
