Delivered from ANXIETY

Revelations 12: 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony;  and they loved not their lives unto the death.

The following testimony is of a person who was delivered from severe anxiety:

For the past 35 years, I have lived from one surge of adrenaline to the next. My entire life has been gripped by paralyzing fears that seem to come from nowhere and everywhere – fears which made very little sense to me or anyone else. I invested four years of my life obtaining a degree in psychology, hoping it would enable me to understand and conquer those fears. Psychology only perpetuated my questions and insecurity. Six years of professional counseling offered little insight and no change in my level of anxiety.

After two hospitalizations, trips to the emergency room, repeated EKGs, a visit to the thoracic surgeon, and a battery of other tests, my panic attacks only worsened. By the time I came to see you, full-blown panic attacks had become a daily feature.

It has been three weeks since I’ve experienced a panic attack! I have gone to malls, church services, played for an entire worship service, and even made it through Sunday school with peace in my heart. I had no idea what freedom meant until now. When I came to see you, I had hoped that the truth would set me free, but now I know it has! Friends have told me that even my voice is different, and my husband thinks I’m taller!

When you live in a constant state of anxiety, most of life passes you by, because you are physically/emotionally/mentally unable to focus on anything but the fear which is swallowing you. I could barely read a verse of Scripture at one sitting. It was as though someone snatched it away from my mind as soon as it entered. Scripture was such a fog to me. I could only hear the verses that spoke of death and punishment. I had actually become afraid to open my Bible. These past weeks I have spent hours a day in the Word, and it makes sense. The fog is gone. I am amazed at what I am able to hear, see, understand and retain.

Before reading the book “Bondage Breaker”, I could not say “JESUS CHRIST” without my metabolism going berserk. I could refer to “the Lord” with no ill effect, but whenever I said “JESUS CHRIST”, my insides went into orbit. I can now call upon the name of Jesus Christ with peace and confidence…and I do it regularly.
