Greetings Friends of Lighthouse!

What a powerful display of God’s mercy and grace we have witnessed this Friday evening as God’s anointing flowed through the teaching He brought across our paths.

The Conquer Series – Battle against Perversion kicked off strong with our first week consisting of great in-depth teaching, which revealed the true roots of bondage and all the components involved in the sin or pornography, lust and perversion!

As things were explained and broken down to understand, hope grew throughout the room and faces lit up with the power of God knowing that He has made a way that we can all overcome this evil sin in our lives!

We learned about various tactics of the enemy, how trying harder doesn’t work in overcoming our struggles – that we must find and deal with the unresolved wounds and pain in our life that cause us to medicate our hidden and deep wounds with sinful addictions!

We also discovered many keys to freedom that we can use to set ourselves and others free in Jesus’ name!

God showed us through this teaching that there are many cycles of bondage and behaviors that we can identify and prevent future relapse. We learned to deal with the mindset of shame and how to overcome the enemy with God’s grace and the Blood of Jesus.

God also revealed a powerful factor in the operation of bondages: That in every wound there has been an inserted lie of the enemy. Healing the wound is one thing; but cleansing the infection (the lie) is paramount in the total recovery process!

Many men and women both were deeply touched by this powerful teaching – and a few stayed behind for a personal small group session where they have humbled themselves before their Maker to confess their bondage and begin the journey to total healing and complete freedom in the name of Jesus!

God is truly good in every way – and I am humbled in awe of how God puts everything together at the right time and does a perfect work in His people. We are all truly blessed. Thank you God, and Pastor Barbara.

Next week – we learn the physical effects and chemical imbalances caused by addiction to pornography and how the enemy uses the physical brain to create strongholds and bondages, and then how to reverse and break these strongholds through Christ to total freedom of the mind!

Sincerely,

Rev. Brett Connell
