Yes the Bible says ” . . . the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version) Yes the evil one sorta ate me up for a while, well seventeen years to be exact, and I was subconsciously a willing participant. But once I became aware of it all and I understood what was going on and what I was up against, I got outta dodge.
The only way I freed myself was to lean on the Most High God. I had no choice but to draw close the Him. I prayed so hard for the Holy Spirit to envelop me. I asked Jesus to allow me to become less of myself and more of Him. I leaned on Him when my heart was ripped from my body and I realized my life had been one big massive meteor shower of lies. As pieces of me fell away from myself during my heartbreak, I begged the Holy Spirit to enter my soul. It was then that I was shown everything I needed to know. I was spoon fed several years of my life even if I didn’t want to eat. And I’m sure if I wanted the entire seventeen course meal, more years would’ve been revealed to me.
I swear to you, I’d ask the Holy Spirit to show me something and subconsciously I was led to what Jesus wanted me to see. I didn’t need to search. I didn’t need to pry. I didn’t need to ask. Things would just be there for me to see. As I drew closer Jesus, more was revealed. I heard with my spiritual ears. I saw with my spiritual eyes. I understood with spiritual awareness.
What was so fantastic was that the Holy Spirit only revealed things to me when I was ready. He built me up and made me strong when I was at my weakest. Jesus manned me up. And when I could handle it, He revealed it all. Screw the roaring lion. I have God.
