Freefrombondage© explores the many different ways that we, as individuals, find ourselves held captive by our own emotional weaknesses – whether they be self-induced or continuously ingrained into our psyche by society – and how, through the power of Jesus Christ, we can be healed and indeed set free from those chains that often imprison us for a lifetime.
Who I Am:
My name is Catherine, and I am the author of the novel Yesterday’s Eyes. It’s a story about forgiveness, and learning how to overcome negative issues from the past – something that must be done if healing is ever to take place. My hope and prayer is that the story will inspire you and fill you with a God-given desire to rise above whatever situation – past or present – is holding you down. With the power of Jesus Christ you CAN overcome, you CAN be healed.
Like everyone else, I have experienced my share of captivity to negative thoughts, unhealthy relationships, unGodly behavior, and the list goes on.
I surrendered my heart to Jesus Christ, thirty-one years ago. Then, after two years of serving Him, I began to stray and eventually returned to my old, sinful nature. There I stayed for the next twenty-one years.
When I was forty-five, a long time friend told me of his conversion and surrendering to Jesus Christ. This friend was not the worst of the worst, but it would have had to take a miracle in order for him to change his ways…a miracle that only comes from the power of God through Jesus Christ.
I was greatly inspired by his miraculous change, and I knew that, for some time, God had been trying to get my attention too, calling me to come home.
Finally, I answered His call – and thank God it was not too late – and I returned to Jesus.
I am thankful that God did not stop trying to get my attention. And I am thankful that He prepared my heart to hear, believe and accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.
That’s when the real remaking of my life began. And, I became a new person in Christ, free from all the chains that do bind us so tightly.
Still, it is an everyday challenge because the enemy, satan, would like nothing more than to have me back.
If you would like to be set free, you can be. Through the power of Jesus Christ, you will be.
Romans 8:38-39 tells those of us who are walking with Jesus Christ: “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Amen.
