the man who abused me had this tattooed on his chest. i was practicing witch craft for 10+ years, my life was chaotic constantly, nothing ever worked out for me, I lived in a constant state of fight for flight, anger, and I felt constantly drained. for four years I stayed in that relationship, and I couldn't leave, it was like an addiction. I knew there was something wrong, but I completely lost myself in the manipulation, I truly thought I was the problem as he said I was. I resented God, especially when this man would use specific scripture to demean and degradr me. it was in June of this year the holy spirit spoke to me and told me to throw away and walk away from witch craft. at the time I didn't know it was the holy spirit. the last time I saw my ex, it was violent, and for the first time I spoke to God. I cried for him, for help, for direction and to remove whatever needed to be removed from my life. within less than 24 hours, all the lies and betrayal was exposed to me through multiple sources. it was so overwhelming. it was August 18th, I gave my heart and soul to Jesus Christ. my entire life has changed, I've lost everything, but regardless of how my faith has been tested, I serve the Lord now, he saved my life. fast forward to now, I see that verse and it haunts me. but listening to what it actually means, listening to what you said, you have made me realize it was in my face the entire time. that I was going to be saved. he never left me, abandoned me, even when I turned from him, he wanted me. the old version of me had to die, and I have been renewed and saved. I can't imagine having this strength without God, I can't imagine how I would ever have gotten away, I can't imagine how I'd ever be able to live with this trauma and suffering without HIM. thank you for reminding me, thank you for fixing romans 8:11 for me today I will never shut up about what God has done for me, and I dedicate my everyday to speaking of what he's done to bring people closer to him. the peace and love I feel in my heart, the protection, something that has never been there, something no crystal or spell could ever give me, is there now through Christ. because he is The Lord.
