Rebecca Warren

Rebecca Warren My name is Rebecca Warren and this message from God Almighty has truly saved my life and given me back a life fuller than I ever thought possible by connecting me to the SOURCE of life, God Almighty! A brief background: From the age of 15, I was put on anti-depressants and was deep into self focus and completely anti-authority. My life spiraled out of control as I chose my own evil desires and rebellion of all kinds. I was in trouble with the law, violent toward my parents and despising authority of all kinds, entrenched in drug abuse and always looking for the next "high" to numb my hurting heart, greedy for food--binging then overexcerising and purging, a thief, spoiled and bitter, going to the world and people for comfort, and full of all sorts of angry pride. At the age of 19, God revealed Himself to me in dream and I knew then that He really was real and I had to stop living a sinful life and change my life. I knew I needed help to get out what was so deeply rooted in me, but I could find no answers in the churches. I gave up some of my obvious sins such as drug abuse and instead went to overindulging in food, which seemed almost acceptable in most churches. This left me even more miserable and enslaved to self. I was often told the message that "grace covers all" and that I was okay and yet inside I was hurting and knew I was out of control in my eating and certainly not free . Even after going to a Christian college and attending chapel three times a week, I ended up heavier and more prideful than ever. Sadly, I began to indulge in even more of my old evil behaviors and graduated a Christian college financially in trouble, out of control with food and going to all sorts of empty things to try and fill me up, angry and confused. I had complete unrest in my heart and mind and went back onto anti-depressants, more despairing of life than ever. I praise God for this GOOD NEWS! At 24 years old I heard the Weigh Down message and everything made sense! There was hope and true freedom from God! The Bible came alive as Gwen taught God's truth so clearly and lies like the Trinity message were uncovered and shown for what they were. I praise God for her courage to stand up for the truth! I let go of the antidepressants as I found my joy in the Lord by putting into practice the exciting truth that this life is about God, not self, and was free at last from the horrible slavery from food as I put into practice the principles taught in Weigh Down of hunger and fullness! This message is so liberating and fun! I no longer go to cigarettes or drugs, but I get to go to the Creator of the Universe for everything! I don't have any worries now except whether God is pleased, and before when I hated and despised authority and the thought of submission was repulsive to me (even while going to church!), now I am learning how beautiful and life-giving submission and servanthood to God and others is, and it all makes perfect sense! It is such a joy to live for God and to serve Him and it is so much better than anything the world can offer, and yet I never learned how to live out complete obedience to God in those other churches, and was miserable although they claimed to teach a Christian message. Only from this message that teaches God's TRUTH with out  relaxing obedience to God or falsely flattering its members can there be true change and freedom in Christ! The leadership in this church is absolutely righteous and holy and always point us to God and His will. They lay their lives down in complete love and obedience to Christ, giving of their time and resources to help us all find God, all the while never asking for donations. They are such Godly servants. Where before the leaders at the churches I went to were caught up in sin themselves and full of hypocrisy and their own agenda, the leadership here can be trusted completely because the fruit of their lives is so obvious and beautiful and they are wonderful examples to us all as we find God's spirit. I praise God for this message, this leadership, and thank Gwen for being righteous and standing up for Him and all His perfect ways!
