Dear Overcomers,
I saw your flyer on a drink machine and subscribed to your newsletter. It is definitely helping me. My husband left me for a younger woman and I've been very depressed. I've been a Christian all my life but this has been hard on me. Since I've been reading your newsletters and blog I'm not feeling as depressed and am even sensing the hope that you are talking about. Thank you and I hope to meet you all soon at one of your meetings.
A Greatful Sister

An Emailed Question
Brother James,
I saw a flyer at the Library that told me that I could receive total healing in every area of my life through Jesus Christ. I was doubting to myself but then something spoke to my heart and I was filled with hope that there is a God and He would help me. The flyer was about a meeting at the library. I haven’t attended yet but I did sign up for this newsletter and have been encouraged there is a way to live again.
My situation is that I’m trapped in a marriage with man who won’t work, who blames me for all his problems, who accuses me of doing things I don’t do. Yet I work, I pay the bills, I handle the household and raise my children while he sits at the computer and plays games. I want to leave, I need to leave for my own sanity. Is there really help?
Dear Sister,
Jesus can and will make a way for you. He can heal you totally physically, spiritually, emotionally and provisionally. Gods Promises In Christ gives you the authority to ask what you will and it will be done for you. This Power begins its life inside you when you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. But many in today’s Church do not even know the real Jesus nor the Truth of His Gospel. We have the Recovery Meeting at the Library to facilitate your growing in Gods Truth. And we are here for you.
But to begin your journey I ask that you take time to begin reading the New Testament starting in the 4th Book The Gospel of John, then read straight through to the end of Revelation. Its not a long read. I encourage you to ask God before you begin to speak to you and then leave your heart open for a Living Word to come forth that will be Him speaking to your heart. Pay close attention to the things He promises you, mark them and learn them and trust them they are yours.
Also Monday Night 7-25 we will be hosting a Bible Study in the Library Conference Room. We would love to see you there and anyone you would like to bring.
Call if you need to talk and I will get you to one of our Sisters who are Overcomers In Christ International Ministry Team Members who would be happy to counsel with you.
Our number is 334-718-2121

Living In Abuse
DRINKING IN LIFE II
Destiny, OIC
Living In Abuse
I’ve wasted years of my life in an abusive marriage. I remember when I started dating him we had so much in common, but then we were young and into partying and having a good time. It seems as I grew out of that lifestyle he didn‘t, his drinking started increasing and when things started going wrong for him it was always my fault, I was to blame.
I grew up finding my self worth in what other people thought about me. And the way he treated me, the way he talked to me became a constant stream of put downs and I began looking at myself the same way. I’d think it must be something I’ve done wrong, it must be something that I’m not doing to show my worthiness. It got to where I’d live for that one kind word and I’d hold onto that like it was a promise of a new life. His promises of doing better were always the same the end result was always they were lies. Then the verbal abuse turned to physical and I was being held captive to fear.
Then I met Jesus He called me in a very real way and I saw hope. When I confided in my Christian friend about my marriage she would tell me to pray and it would get better, but it didn’t in fact it got worse. Then Jesus strengthened me to leave and not look back and its only gotten better as I walk in His Healing Love and Light.
I don’t regret the years I tried to make the marriage work, nor am I mad at God for not fixing it. I know now He had something better for me and I ever thankful to Him for His mercy and grace on m life.
