Bondage to Setting the Captives Free

 My Story From Bondage to Setting the Captives Free!

I worked for over 40 years in the corporate and higher education arena until 2021, when I retired.

While working, I also ran a non-profit ministry called Touch of God Int’l Ministries, helping 1000 people worldwide get free from strongholds, curses, and demonic influences. I helped people in getting free from sickness and disease.

You see patterns in people's lives over the years of working with people. I witness much bondage from strongholds or negative thought patterns. These lies they believe keep them from rejection, anxious, if not anxious, to full-blown anxiety keeps a person from entering everything God has for them.

It wasn’t always that way for me. I had issues, bondages, family curses blocking my success, and anxiety attacks. When free, I stepped into what the Lord had called me to do – set the captives free.

After retirement, I started a 90-day coaching program called Kick Anxiety Out – Step into God’s Peace and Purpose. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of seeing people get free and step into their identity in Christ with purpose and freedom without anxiety.

Isaiah 17:17 Damacus will become a ruinous heap

Damascus will become a ruinous heap.

Is God really in control of the heavens?

Yes, the Bible affirms that God controls the heavens and even rides upon them (Psalm 68:4). This shows His ultimate authority and power over all creation, including the celestial realm. The concept of God's sovereignty over the heavens is a central theme in many religious teachings and scriptures.

The prophetic nature of current events:

In current times, various events are unfolding that some believe to be prophetic in nature. For instance, Israel is often seen as a key player in biblical prophecies and God's timeline of history. The rise of Iran as a nuclear power, with a stated intention to destroy Israel and America, is seen by many as a fulfillment of prophecy.

The threat to Israel's security:

With Hezbollah gaining control in Lebanon and amassing missiles, including possibly weapons of mass destruction, the threat to Israel's northern border has increased. Similarly, Syria's instability and arsenal of missiles pose a threat to Israel's security. The potential destruction of Damascus, as prophesied in Isaiah 17:1, is a looming reality.

The political landscape:

The political landscape in America and globally is also seen as part of a larger prophetic narrative. The election of President Obama, viewed by some as Muslim-favoring, has raised concerns about America's stance towards Israel. The possibility of political turmoil, martial law, and the West's alleged financial collapse are signs of the end times.

Finding hope in turbulent times:

Despite the turmoil and uncertainty of the current times, there is hope for those who have faith in Christ. The promise of deliverance and the assurance of God's protection offer comfort amid chaos. Many believe in the imminent removal of believers from the earth, known as the rapture, which is a source of hope and anticipation.
In conclusion, some perceive the events unfolding in the world today as signs of the fulfillment of biblical prophecies. Belief in God's ultimate control over the heavens and His promise of protection for His people offer solace in turbulent times. In times of uncertainty, faith, and trust in God's plan become even more significant.

Are You The Apple of His Eye!

Jesus Loves You - The Apple of His Eye

Have you ever felt alone, unloved, or unworthy? Maybe you're in a place of brokenness, feeling like no one cares about you. The good news is that you are the apple of God's eye. Deuteronomy 32:10 says, "He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, instructed him, and kept him as the apple of his eye." This verse tells us that God's very focus is on you. You are the apple of His eye, the one He cares for profoundly and watches over.

The Love of God the Father

God loves you individually, personally, and deeply. You are His beloved child, and He cherishes you beyond measure. He loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to show you the way to Him. Even in your darkest moments, when you feel lost and alone, God is there, reaching out to you with love and compassion.

Finding Comfort in the Desert

Maybe you feel like you're in a desert right now, a place of dryness and emptiness. But even in the wilderness, God will find you. He will come to you in your brokenness, wrapping you in His arms of love and grace. You are not alone; you are never alone. God is with you, guiding you, and protecting you every step of the way.

Overcoming Feelings of Unworthiness

The enemy may try to whisper lies to you, telling you that you are unworthy, unloved, and alone. But those are lies from the pit of hell. You are precious in God's sight, the apple of His eye. He created you, He knows you, and He loves you more than you can imagine. Let go of the feelings of inferiority and unworthiness, and embrace the truth that you are loved beyond measure by the creator of the universe.

Embracing God's Love

No matter your past or present circumstances, God's love for you remains constant. He will never leave you or forsake you. His love is unchanging, unwavering, and unconditional. So, open your heart to receive His love, embrace His grace, and walk in the freedom that comes from knowing that you are truly loved by the Father.

In conclusion, remember that you are the apple of God's eye. He found you in the desert, led you, instructed you, and will keep you safe. Embrace His love, accept His grace, and know that you are deeply cherished by the one who created you. Let go of feelings of unworthiness and embrace the truth that you are loved beyond measure. Jesus loves you very much and is for you, not against you.Jesus loves you very much and is for you and not against you.

Deuteronomy 32:10 “He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.”

The "apple of the eye" is the Heb. _ishon_, meaning manikin, i.e., the eye pupil. So, we can say that you are the apple of God’s eye, which means you are the focus of his attention, and His very focus is right on you. The God the Father loves you individually, personally, and then collectively given to Christ as a gift. He came to show you to the father.

Maybe you are in a hard place, feeling alone and unloved. Perhaps the enemy is telling you that you are unworthy and unloved by God and others. Maybe your parents made you feel inferior. The good news is the Father will come to you in your desert and meet you in your place of brokenness because you are the apple of His eye. That is how much He cares for His children. He will come and find you.

How To Honor Your Parents If They Abused You According to the Bible!

How To Honor and Respect Parents!

Honor thy mother and father and provoke not

Sometimes it is hard to honor and respect parents when they have victimized you or didn’t show you love and acceptance and made you feel unworthy and unclean. Why do you think they did that? It is because their parents projected that into them, and then they dumped the demonic on them where they believed it for themselves. That is a lie, and that is the unloving spirit. The demonic comes down the family tree and keeps repeating itself until someone breaks the family tree curse.

How is a person supposed to Honor and Respect their parents?

How can I honor my parents if they are demonized with self-hatred and self-rejection and victimized me when I was a child and still do when I’m around them? You can honor them by thanking the Lord that they gave you life if you have nothing else to honor them. You have to see your parents as victims of the demonic that passed down from the family tree. Their parents were not able to love them, so they did not know how to love you, and you cannot expect them to love you when there is a demonic or unloving spirit in them. That means you have to separate the sin in them. They were victims and have been programmed by their parents to victimize you! When you see that they are victims, too, it makes it easier to forgive them and stop the torment.

What Paul Says to do!

That’s why Paul talks about casting down negative thoughts that are not of God in 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

When you don’t cast it down as a lie, then you establish it as a way of life for yourself. You are going to filter the lie through everything that comes your way. If your parents reject you, you will feel rejected by everyone else. Everything they say will feel like rejection. Also, because of that unloving spirit, then a child, now an adult, will continue to go back to their parents over and over again, thinking something will change and trying to get acceptance through them. That won’t happen because of the demonic in them. People must accept that it won’t change until they remove the lie from their hearts and minds because they believe it, too! You can change it, though!

What can I do?

You must fall out of agreement and be prepared to avoid it. You don’t have to continue to hear the negative voices of your mother and father in your ears. If you do, it is an evil spirit that is reminding you of self-rejection, self-hatred, etc. How many are still listening to the voices of demonized parents who victimized you spiritually when they are not even around you – they might already be dead, but you still hear clearly what they said or did. There is no way any man, pastor, or preacher can take away those voices from your mind or memory. There is a way to be freed from the spirit that transferred into and tormented you through your family tree. That is the unloving spirit that comes to you to accuse you and make you feel rejection, self-hatred, etc. If you are going to get the work out of the grace of God in you, you must realize you will never forget those voices. They are a big part of the memory, but the pain from the presence of that evil spirit that is attacking you and accusing you can be gone. You will have the memory but not the accusation or pain of the memory.

When you hear that voice, you will know to cast it down as Paul says in 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 and not let it affect you because you will know what your heavenly father thinks of you. You need to discern good and evil by what is said between your ears. If it is not love, then the devil is accusing you. Cast that thought down by not accepting it. Know who you are in Christ and meditate on what the word says about you. You can only feel complete with God. No man can cause you to feel complete. When the enemy comes to accuse you, and you know your identity, it will not affect you. That is why you need to know what the Lord says about you when the enemy comes to accuse you. You see, when you believe the lie, then you are calling God a liar as well. You are none of those things you are accused of by the enemy or your parents. You are just a victim of your parents' demonic. 

That is why it hurt so bad because of their demonic and the demonic that passed down to you through them through the family tree. That is why the devil knew what he was doing to accuse you: he knows your family tree. There is no reason to go around in rejection or self-rejection because your parents rejected you. Your heavenly father is now your father once you become born again, and you are never rejected by him, even when you sin. Run to Him for your love. You have to come to the place where you don’t go to your parents for acceptance. That has to stop! Realize that you must go to the Father because He has already accepted and loves you even when imperfect. We cannot lose the love of the Father.

I know every time I have a terrible memory or a specific memory from my past or from my parents and have a ping or lousy feeling, I know I need to forgive that situation and then try to turn my thoughts to the Lord or try to think of something more positive about that person or parent. That reprograms your thinking or what the word says, renewing my mind. That is taking every thought captive. Then I fill my mind with what the Lord says about me if I heard negative words of the past. I remind the enemy what the Lord says about me. Again, the war is between our ears, and it’s a mighty war. In Ephesians 6:12

“12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

The beginning of Chapter 6 of Ephesians discusses honoring our parents and then goes into spiritual warfare. So, if we can honor our parents, if they were abusive to you, by honoring them that they gave you life. That does not mean you have to continue to go and be abused to give godly honor.
