Out of the Tunnel; Into the Light

tunnel

Do you remember a time when you felt like you were caught in a tunnel  and you could see no way out?  You tried and tried to find solutions and answers, but you kept running into a brick wall, it seemed?  Finally, sometimes, we just give up and try to accept that this is the way our life will always be.

One of the most beautiful things that increases my faith in the Lord God is seeing Him change lives and heal hearts.  He can take a life shattered from childhood and broken from crisis after crisis, use His Holy Spirit to capture their attention and soothe them with Himself and the promises in His Word.  The next thing you know, this wounded person’s eyes begin to rise, they begin to feel a flicker of hope and they see the little light at the end of the tunnel of their despair.

We see this time after time in our Chained No More classes (www.robynbministries.com/chainednomore) and I will never tire of watching the Lord God transform a life before our very eyes!  Praise His Name!!!

Our participants come from all walks of life, their childhoods severely damaged them, and they began to define themselves by what was said to them and what they experienced.  The enemy defined them and covered them with issues such as fear, anger, abandonment mistrust, betrayal and abuse of every kind.  What a horrid “tunnel” they have lived in for so long.   Now, what a joy to share with them who GOD says they are and who He created them to be.  The light at the end of the tunnel becomes brighter and brighter and closer and closer as they realize they are nothing like they thought they were!  What a thrill to watch!!

This week on Chained No More Talk Radio, we begin a month of interviewing guests who have lived in great trauma and just when they thought there was no hope, God lifted them up and is using them for His glory and purposes.  These stories may not be easy to hear, but their testimony of what God did will make us want to shout “hallelujah!”  We also hope that hundreds of thousands around the world will hear these guests and find hope that they too can find that light at the end of their “tunnel.”

For those of us who have not lived a lot of trauma and don’t really connect with people in crisis much, these stories will help us to have more compassion, less judgment. and teach us ways to minister to those still in their “tunnels” and guide them out to His Light.

Please join us each Tuesday at 2-3pm ET at www.toginet.com or you can also download each podcast at www.toginet.com/shows/chainednomore to hear each incredibly riveting story.

This week’s guest will be Brian Cole and the title of his show will be “From Darkness and Addiction to Preacher.”  His story will blow you away!  Join us and hear what God has done.
