Stories of freedom...

Catherine's story

I want to give a brief outline of what I was in bondage to, so you can see how great the freedom that I now have is.

Ever since I was a small child, I’ve been spiritually bound with fear and agoraphobia. This has come down through my family line. I could not go to school, college or university or even sleep over at people’s houses. It pulled me back 24/7.

The presence of this fear was so strong, that even as a small child, I had physical affects - feeling like I could not move etc. I was constantly bound with a fear that terrified me and kept me at home. 

Up until 3 months ago this was completely controlling my life. It was a day to day problem and I was scared that I would never find freedom.

I didn’t actually know Mary until my Pastor’s wife put me in touch with her. I went and shared what my struggle was, how I had been bound since I was a small child and how it was a daily problem. I was pretty much at my wits end.

Through talking, I started to see and understand the truth of what was actually going in my life. We closed some doors on a lot of stuff. Mary showed me lots of Scriptures and used some diagrams that made it really clear to grasp.

I finely understood that the only thing the enemy had was deception - a smoke screen. As long as he had me fearful, he could do as he pleased but once it was uncovered and I grew in understanding, he had no ground to stand on.

Once everything was made clear, my freedom followed!

It was like a something finely clicked! Something I was struggling with since I was a small child, I no longer had to except or deal with or be fearful of. I had already won because of what Jesus had done on the cross.

I choose now to daily walk in my new freedom. Some days are hard but I have the right tools to stand and it’s not a problem.  I no longer pay attention when the devil tries to grasp my body with fear. I stand on the truth of God’s Word and the enemy disappears!

I give God all the glory for my freedom and am thankful for the human vessels he gave to help me receive it.
