It has become clearer to me over time that the enemy of my soul has worked overtime for many years to interfere with the sharing of my story. This verse from Revelation has been one of the encouragements for my response.

At the beginning of 2019, I chose the word “Courage” as my word for the year. I proclaimed in a post, “Let this be the year you go after courage”.  I have tried to keep my focus on the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Recognizing that it is the devil’s desire to prevent me from sharing my story increases my desire to share it. God certainly does not want me, or any of His children, to live under a cloud of shame. He came to set the captives free! (Luke 4:18).

The Holy Spirit has encouraged me toward helping others by sharing the story of my own struggles and victories achieved through His power. Jesus’ blood has not only cleansed me, but it is He who has given me the victory and the courage to share my story with others!
