Assistant : Slave assistant

Today I want to share with all the assistants a little bit of my resumed story, so that you may realize something very profound and serious.

For a few years of my life, especially in my teens, I was a slave to vices. I lived imprisoned in the underworld of drugs; I injected heroin and cocaine. I had a past marked by inferiority complexes, timidity, and to escape from these feelings, I took refuge in drugs. It was many years of great slavery!

When I got to the Universal Church, I was completely free of vices. On the first day, my life took another turn. It was beautiful what God did with me … He delivered me from all the imprisonments of addiction and I became another woman. One day I will tell you my life with more details.

But where do I want to get with my testimony? Maybe you might say, your story is marvelous Luisa, however, I’ve never experienced that and what connection does it have with me since I’m already an assistant and liberated?

Calm down! I just need for you to understand this reasoning and think with me:
God delivered me from the vices and for sure you were also free from something. However, there is something that is up to us to free ourselves from, through the use of intelligent faith: FEELINGS!

There is no greater slavery than that of being a slave of feelings. I lived as a slave for six years in the drugs, but I lived many more years imprisoned by feelings of pride (resistance) and a lack of acceptance, among others, which are consequences of these because it is like a snowball. As an assistant and even as a pastor’s wife, I was imprisoned by these “curses” that make a person’s life a living hell.

Today’s article is for you to analyze well this reality, because feelings come for everyone, but if you are dominated and controlled by them, then you are a slave and are not free!

You are a slave when:

You need the approval of third parties;

You are timid;

You are resistant;

You want everything your way;

You serve to please others, etc.

 

The list is long. Please think about it and start using your head and not your heart. When feelings come, think about how you are being enslaved and turn to God and to your goal. Isn’t your goal to please God? So go against your will and do what is right! It’s righteous when I hear the voice of God and practice it and not the voice of my self!

I apologize for the length of today’s post, but I want to happen in your life what happened in mine.

I would like to read your comment about what we write here.
