Control Freak

Delivering Dunamis

When troubling obsessive-compulsive thoughts began overwhelming my mind in early adolescence, I felt great shame in my condition. I acknowledged these thoughts as unwelcome, but I had no idea how to disarm or dismiss them. I felt forced to accommodate them. And that made my condition difficult to hide because these thoughts influenced my behavior in such a profound way. My solution was greater control. I worked hard to manipulate my environment to ensure that I could maintain the highest level of stability possible so that I would never have to reveal my real identity to the world. And this affected every single relationship in my life, often in a very devastating way. But when I surrendered my life to the Lord in 2011, everything began to change. God gave me an affirmation that allowed my life to turn around in a miraculous fashion. His first words, “let go”. Without giving up my need for control, my healing season would never fully come into bloom. If you are looking to break free from the strongholds in your life and uncover true freedom and a lasting solution, this message is for you.
