I am who I am by the grace of God. I will be what I will be by the grace of God. All the stories contained in this journal are true stories from my life. They are all my testimonies, but they are not all about one man. I learned from Domestic Violence shelters that there is a cycle that has to be broken to be free from returning to the same demons. It's like generational curses. The word of God says in Luke 11:24-26: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"When the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding any, it says, '\u003cb\u003eI will return to my house from which I came\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e.'\u003cbr\u003eAnd when it comes, it finds the house swept and put in order.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen it goes and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.\" (NASB).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIt's a known fact that when someone who is abusive leaves and returns, they return more violently than they left. Over time, the abuse becomes more severe and unfortunately many do not survive that final attack. Many counselors and psychologists recognize the patterns and behaviors of abuse to predict outcomes, but they miss God. When we turn to the word of God, we will find that there is a real spiritual battle. Through my own journey I had to take responsibility for my own part in that battle so that I could win the war.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can't throw punches with demons and win!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIf you leave a violent man and let him return, his demons become stronger because of what you allow to grow that is ungodly. Later, if you do not see the demons coming, you will meet a new person and find that you connect with demons that have taken 7 worse than the last to come into your house. \u003c\/b\u003eYou must study your enemy\u003cb\u003e to know how to\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eovercome the devil. \u003cb\u003e You must\u003c\/b\u003e create a battle plan \u003cb\u003efor victory in Jesus. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe battle is spiritual, not carnal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe beginning to freedom begins with you\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46335778390167,"sku":"9798308027423","price":1314.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798308027423.webp?v=1768675840","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/dear-jesus-journal-broken-chains-9798308027423","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
