New Wine Testimony: Bill Wright

There is hope; my name is Bill Wright, and I have been freed from a life of uncertainty where I was the victim of my own ignorance and self-deception. I had been in bondage to my sins for over thirty years. I was unwilling to learn, suffering the humiliation and self-degradation of my actions. I covered my shame and insecurity with alcohol, drugs and sex.

I would not accept that I was the problem and that GOD could help me.

I spent time in rehabilitations and in the mental hospital. I tried self-help books. I went to AA and NA; they did not fix my problem. These things could not fix me.

I tried good deeds and works. They did not help me.

I became stuck in my mindset that I would never be free. Then my life changed on September 28, 2003. I felt I was losing GOD and a dread was setting in. I cried to HIM to help me. I prayed in earnest that GOD would show me the truth of HIS WORD. HE told me that I must stop my sinning and trust HIM. HE told me that if I loved HIM, I would obey HIS commands. I set my heart from this time to not believe my mind concerning my sins; that I wouldn't die if I stopped these things. I obeyed GOD and quit. I didn't die, and HE has been faithful to HIS WORD and has changed my desires. HE has given me the strength to stand firm and HE has taught me to flee temptations.

I sought the truth and I found it with the guidance of this ministry at Setting Captives Free and with the helpful mentoring of another who had come to freedom before me.

The truth has set me free; and it can set you free as well.

GOD has healed me and HE fills my life with joy today. The waves of this world are just as large, yet today my perception of them does not let them overwhelm me. My focus is on CHRIST.

Praise GOD Almighty and the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Today I am a mentor for Setting Captives Free and I pray that you will not be afraid to let go of a life that has trapped you; and will, instead, learn to be free.
