Freedom. Fresh. Joy. 

The past few weeks I have fighting constant battles with the enemy. Anxiety. Lies. Shame. This past week I was done fighting those things. I wanted it all to be gone. 

We heard about spiritual authority and attack at the beginning of the week, and I just thought to myself-why? Why am I not breaking these chains? Why am I still holding on to the pain? Why am I letting the enemy have a hold on me? 

Wednesday night, I was done feeling this way. I did not want to continue giving the devil a hold on me. I didn't want to allow him the space anymore. I knew I needed to hold on to Jesus and let him fight those battles for me. I was talking with my leader, Alicia, and told her I think I need to be baptized. She told me that we could look into what that could look like. That was the end of that conversation.

The next morning, Alicia came up to me, and told me that we were doing baptisms today. She had no idea that it was happening. Thanks God! 

With that, we went to the lake and I WAS BAPTIZED. It was my declaration that the enemy has no place in my head, heart, or space. Saying no to everything that has held me back from the Lord, and throwing away all shame. I felt free, so fresh, and overwhelmed with joy.

Rewind to January, when Alicia was deciding to lead or not, she had asked one of her friends to intercede on her behalf. Her friend had told Alicia she needs to lead, because she had received a vision of Alicia baptizing someone. And then she baptized me yesterday! Divine appointment!!

So yeah, I was baptized along with around 20 others on a tiny little beach yesterday!!

Also if you read my last blog about Veronica, we received news this week, she wants to re-dedicated her life to Christ!
