My absolute favorite song is “No Longer Slaves” by Bethel Music because of these words:
You split the sea So I could walk right through it My fears were drowned in perfect love You rescued me And I will stand and sing I am the child of God
I'm no longer a slave to fear I am a child of God
This is so powerful because this is EXACTLY what God did for me. He drowned my fears in His perfect love. Because of this, I’m no longer a slave to fear. I’M FREE!
This is actually why I started this blog called Rescued Writer. I want to let you know, you can be free too! God is right there, ready to rescue you. All you need to do is, reach out to Him. Open and read from His letter to you, the Bible. It holds your freedom and the steps to get you there.
Worry is a terrible thing. It feels like you’re in a prison, all alone in your mind, with no way to break free. It is also very harmful to your body. It destroys your ability to concentrate. It makes you tense, nervous, and changes the gastric juices of the stomach, which leads to ulcers. Most people think ulcers are caused by what you eat but it’s actually caused from what is eating you.
The Mayo Clinic did a study on 15,000 patients for stomach disorders. They found 4 out of 5 people had no physical basis. It all came down to fear and worry. There are more people in hospitals and mental institutions because of worry, stress, anxiety, and fear than for any other reason. Why? Because we were never created to handle or put up with those things. Yet so many people believe a little fear is good, worrying about those you love shows them you care, social anxiety is normal, or when you become a teenager, you will be anxious and depressed.
The Bible actually says worry is a sin. It’s nothing to play with. It comes for one purpose—to steal, kill, and destroy you. It sometimes creeps into our life so we don’t really notice it until it gets bigger and almost becomes too much to handle. But I have good news! God wants us free from all of it! And He made it possible to turn your back on it completely. I’m so passionate about this subject because God rescued me from it. I want to share my story of how God completely rescued and set me free from fear and worry and how you can break free too.
Remember, there is ALWAYS HOPE! Love, Kelly
