I had three visits [hospital] in four months – I actually thought I was in hell. I had been seeing a therapist [1994] on a regular basis.<BR/><BR/>I actually thought I would be locked away – but the hospital staffs were very supportive...I had no control over my process.<BR/>I was released from hospital 16th September 1994, but my fear, pain & shame had only subsided a little. I remember this particular morning waking up [home] & my process would start up again [fear, pain, & shame].<BR/><BR/>No one could help me, not even my therapist [I was terrified].<BR/><BR/>I asked <B>JESUS CHRIST</B> to have mercy on me & forgive me my sins. Slowly, all my fear has dissipated & I believe Jesus delivered me from my “psychological prison.” <BR/><BR/>I am a practicing Catholic & the <B><I>HOLY SPIRIT</I></B> is my friend & strength; every day since then has been a joy & blessing.<BR/>I deserve to go to hell for the life I have led, but Jesus through His sacrifice on the cross, delivered me from my inequities.<BR/><BR/>John 3: 8, John 15: 26, are verses I can relate to, organically. He’s a real person who is with me all the time.<BR/><BR/><I>I have so much joy & peace in my life, today, after a childhood spent in orphanages [England & Australia].</I><BR/><BR/>Fear, pain, & shame, are no longer my constant companions. I just wanted to share my experience with you [Luke 8: 16 – 17].<BR/><BR/><B>I, MICHAEL, AM THE HOLY ONE OF GOD.</B>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940745178193985942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13639235.post-50022340095689733952008-09-23T22:06:00.000-04:002008-09-23T22:06:00.000-04:00Scripture is the line in the sand.

It is not arrogance to stand on it, but rather a fear and love of God.<BR/>Dig in your heals and stand firm.Ferron Brimstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187711190589467733noreply@blogger.com
