New Wine Testimony: Rene
First off, thank you Jesus! Thank you, Linda, my mentor, and Setting Captives Free. I have been a Christian for 20 years, but about seven years ago I bought into the lie that drinking a glass of red wine daily was good for your heart. The enemy knows I'm an all or nothing kinda girl. So I started down a road and thought I had control but, before I knew it, it had control of me. The more I tried to stop, the more I became rebellious. I continued to serve God through leading Bible studies and many other ministries. But I wrestled with the chains and the guilt of hurting God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. This year's study was the book of Ephesians. Well, when I came to the verse, "Don't get drunk with wine," I knew I couldn't teach it with truth. God led me to this program and gave me the power to stop. I went before the ladies at my table and I confessed. They were shocked, but very loving and proud that I would speak the truth. So now I'm telling everyone I know and hoping God will use me to bring others to admit and be set free also! I am forever grateful to God and this ministry for finally bringing me out of captivity!
