Sins I have laid down:
Painful binge eating, starving myself, eating disorder clinic, diets, eating rules, drugs and other wrong methods to lose weight, fears of eating
Antidepressants, not leaving the house, afraid to be around people, panic attacks that were so bad I went to the emergency room and couldn't keep a job, avoided even my family, always wanting to run away to try to get away from the pain
Hitting myself and allowing others to hit me
Cutting myself
Lashing out at those closest to me and feeling instant pain and regret with both parents, with brother, and with close friends
In debt before the age of 20
Did not truly LOVE God or anyone else but myself
Hate-filled, unforgiving, judgmental, unkind, harsh
Complete self-absorption
Delighted in evil
Full of EXTREMES - no moderation or normalcy
A LIAR
Stole and damaged others' property
Sexual sins
Drug and alcohol abuse
Foul language
Very legalistic and full of self-made rules (ex: thinking that wearing makeup was wrong)
WRONG teachings -- new age, occult, psychics/mediums, consulting angels instead of GOD, witchcraft, loving animals more than people, FALSE CHRISTIANITY teaching others WRONG THINGS -- by my words and my example
How I have been healed:
I have now lost 48 pounds, free from depression/anxiety/panic attacks, relationships are healed, my debts are being paid and finances are straightening out, and those bad things listed above are GONE!!!!!! I LOVE GOD, His Son Jesus Christ, His Word, His godly leaders, His godly people, and EVERYONE ELSE too!
I get my prayers answered and I have real peace and joy and love and patience and goodness and gentleness and self-control
I am TRULY HAPPY for the first time in my whole life, and I am getting to know GOD better all the time!
GOD is truly taking care of me and helping me in every way -- He has given me a new heart and a new life that revolves around Him alone!
HOW THIS CHURCH IS THANKFULLY DIFFERENT:
the teachings line up 100% with the WHOLE WORD OF GOD
the leaders and members are all devoted to putting GOD FIRST 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in our HEARTS and in our ACTIONS
EVERY TIME, WITHOUT FAIL, when I have sought godly counsel from these leaders and have done what they have advised, I have been BLESSED and EVERYTHING fell into place and ONLY GOOD RESULTS came from it -- EVERY TIME, WITHOUT FAIL!
I have finally met a group of people who loves thinking about, talking about, and living for GOD, just like I do!
I have been ONLY HELPED, with such love and patience and generosity of time and resources, EVERY TIME I have sought counsel or help in any way, and NOTHING has been asked of me other than to PUT GOD FIRST, LOVE GOD WITH ALL MY HEART, BE PURE BEFORE GOD, and to LOVE OTHERS AS MYSELF. I have received such love, encouragement, and physical help -- including a church leader GLADLY offering me assistance and bringing me cough medicine to my house yesterday -- just one small but huge example!
I am ALWAYS pointed up to GOD by the leaders and the teachings -- no one takes credit for anything good that happens as a result of following these teachings that 100% line up with the Bible, but everyone always gives ALL credit to the only Source, GOD ALMIGHTY
