I have never been so great with endings. I can sometimes hold onto activities and relationships long after I probably should have moved on. This is all for the sake of being responsible and wanting to be loyal to something or someone…or “just in case” breakthrough or change is right around the corner. And I’m...

The post Is it Time For a Necessary Ending? appeared first on Walking in Freedom Ministries.

I had been struggling with health problems for years. I went to many different doctors with no success. After a few recommendations, I started going to a new doctor. He suspected that I had been exposed to mold for a prolonged period of time and ordered blood tests to see if I had mold in...

How easy is it for you to talk to God about your temptations? (I’m talking about those temptations and struggles you face that you hesitate telling other people about, let alone God.) We know that God is already aware of our struggles, but many of us still often have great difficulty specifically talking to God about them. Part...

Have you ever looked back to when you were a kid to see the beginnings of some of the same interests you have now?  I believe that many of the gifts God has given each of us and the way He has wired us often times start to show up when we are young. If...

I was looking through my journal the other day, and I found something I wrote a few years ago. I was beginning to realize how many lies about myself I believed over the years and the “weeds” that grew in my mind and heart as a result of watering those lies (believing, rehearsing and agreeing...

Have you been repeatedly attacked by the enemy, feeling confused and not sure what happened? Are you feeling weary? Sometimes we can go through times when we feel worn down and discouraged. Every once in a while, I start receiving emails and messages that are quite graphic (from people who do not like what I...

The post He Trains Our Hands for Battle appeared first on Walking in Freedom Ministries.

Several years ago, I saw a picture in my mind that I hope to never forget. I saw a man walking along the road with many things piled up on him (symbolizing burdens, strongholds, sin, etc.). He looked very weighed down by them. He wasn’t focusing on that, though. Instead, he was looking forward in...

Many years of my life (including many years of my Christian walk) went by before I knew I could be transparent with Him.  I am not sure anyone ever directly told me this, but I grew up thinking that I wasn’t supposed to talk to God about what I was feeling. I’m quite sure I...

Are you in the middle of a healing process that seems to be taking too long? Maybe you are leaning into Jesus and learning all you can along the way but everything still feels like a mess. It may seem as those around you either never needed to go through a healing process or that...
