The power of the truth

The power of the truth 

Yesterday we were blessed to have Pastor Bloomer come and preach in our church. Now I heard him preach before but I didn't really know his testimony.

Pastor Bloomer was born poor, one of nice children in Brooklyn New York. His father liked to run around and had 7 more children  with other women in their neighborhood.

This was tough enough but he was also a slow learner on top of this. He couldn't read until later in life, he had a horrible relationship with his mean grandmother and he was sexually abused as well. Later on in his life he had a drug addiction. Yes, he was a coke head and smoked crack. He hit rock bottom, so deep that he was doing cocaine even while he was preaching God's word on the pulpit. 

He tells his story to let everyone know that being Christian doesn't mean being perfect. That God is not looking for perfect people, that God is looking for you, broken, falling apart, just the way you are so that he can work his miracles in you and you can be a testimony to all he can do.

He spoke about the power he had when he started to tell the world of his testimony. The power he took back,  by telling the truth to the world and not having to hide anymore. 

So many people never tell their truth, so many people hid their mistakes not ever wanting people to know what they did, ashamed to let the world know and keeping their secrets safely locked away, deep in their closets.

I know this feeling and I can so relate to this man's story as my story is so similar. I also grew up poor, my grandmother was a mean, bitter, negative women who I thought hated me at times.

I was raped as a teenager and fell into drugs and alcohol addiction to mask my pain. For years my addiction was a secret as I was so ashamed. When I finally become clean I met my then husband who verbally abused me for 24 years and no one knew. This dirty little secret stayed in my closet with my other ones for years. 

It wasn't until I gave my life over to God that I knew I needed to come clean about my secrets. I knew that there were women out there that were going through what I had gone through and needed to hear how I got passed all of this. This opening up my secret closet doors was scary to say the least but then I started to write about it, now that was really scary, to share my deepest, darkest secrets with the world. But I knew God was there with me and I remembered his words in this bible verse.

Isaiah 41 10

"Fear not for I am with you be not not dismayed, for I am God I will strengthen you"

Bishop Bloomer spoke that this is the year of the get everything that was taken from you back. Not to worry because the storms that come at you are there to strengthen you. All the hell that you've been going through,  God orchestrated it to show you all he can do. How he can pull you through, if you believe. This year you must march into the enemy camp and take back what is yours because God is with you. You first must put on the garment of praise, you must give thanks to God as 2020 is year of vision.

This year you must be able to see the vision God has for you and you need to spiritually protect yourself your family and your business.  But you also need to know that when God is going to work a miracle, he doesn't ask your permission he just does it.

See every person has something that is happening to them, you are not alone, even if you feel that way.You may have to battle through your hard times and some people may come at you. They don't want you to tell your truth, they are afraidof your truth but tell it anyways.

Sometimes people can be worse than evil spirits so you must know when it is time to let go.Take care of yourself and tell your truth.

Own what you did, let the world see that you are not perfect yet look at all God has done for you. 

Once you let all the skeletons out of your closet, once you start telling your testimonies, once you start owning your story it is then you will know the power of the truth.

"Be the change you want to see"

"And just when the caterpillar thought his life over...he turned into a beautiful butterfly"
