Bent But Not Broken

Book Details

Life's pressures will come, yet we will not be broken

Without a doubt there are so many things we wrestle with in the flesh and in the Spirit. There is a constant war going on within us and around us. Will we please ourselves and our flesh or will we overcome the struggles we face by living in the Spirit of God and trusting Him to get us through? We all have so many responsibilities that tug at us and pull at us, bending us this way or that way, how do we balance it all and become the person Jesus has called us to be? That is the reason for the writing of this book, to encourage all to not trust in themselves but to trust God, even when you don’t know all the reasons why. It is the desire to never give up, never to throw in the towel, never surrender to the adversary of our soul. We must persevere through everything we face, we must look past the outside appearance of what we see and see the truth about what we are wrestling with. The moment is now to stand up in the face of every obstacle that is against you and declare that nothing will stop you from being who God has chosen you to be. You can be who you have always dreamed you could be, God has made a way for you and me. To overcome there will be a fight, to overcome there will be a struggle, but we can do it with only our Lord’s help. We might be bent and things may not be perfect in our lives yet, but one thing is for sure we will NEVER be broken.

 

Book Excerpt

What we are on the inside will come out and show itself on the outside. If our inside is pure and holy then that attitude and spirit will show itself on the outside. When the storms of life come we will stand because we are rooted and grounded in truth. We will not be broken.
