That was actually my first time listening to Charlene’s testimony. Thank God for our praying mommas :) thank God that he doesn’t give up on us even when we are at our lowest and feel that he should have. Love this ladies!
Thank u Angie and Charlene! I was heavy duty addicted to Meth and alcohol. I was hearing voices up till 3 months ago even though I have been off the meth for over 3 yrs. I also suffered from chronic bi polar depression which I never thought I would come out of. I cried out to the Lord over and over as I would just sit in a dark bedroom rocking back and forth struggling to even take a shower. The voices were demonic in nature telling me to do harmful things to my Mother whom I live with. I followed through with one of the commands from the devil and bit my Mother breaking the skin. I was put in the psych ward for 32 days. I came to CCWC and it was during the week but Charlene and Andrea prayed over me to drive out the demons. I had to renounce and cancel all legal rights I had given to the devil. This was just over 3 yrs ago. Today I am doing a lot better. I met Dana at Redeemed and she has helped me to move forward and out of my comfort zone. I have very low self esteem and am so intimidated by other woman but I am working through that slowly with Dana. I am on psych meds to lessen the voices. I have also been diagnosed with Schizo affective disorder. Visual and audio hallucinations. I destroyed my relationship with my husband and son when I was active in my addiction. I only have one child and he is 30 and he and his wife had a baby in Nov. And he will not allow me to see her. It is depressing but I know God is working it all out. I tend to isolate alot and am slowly stepping out of my comfort zone and I hope to serve in some capacity. Thank u for this podcast. I will stay in the word and use the sword of the spirit to battle the enemy! God Bless!
Charlene we have so much more in common than just our BD. Thank you for your willingness to share your story. We serve an amazing compassionate God that shows up and shows off when we surrender.
Also the prayer of agreement with prayer partners. When your trying to meet your own needs , become completely Dependent on the Lord meeting that need. God has a way of taking the desires that are not what we should have. Yes, cry out ask God for his help, you can't do it on your own. Get those prayer partners at church. Don't be ashamed .God has a beautiful plan , a plan for good and not evil.
