NOTE: REMEMBER, as previously stated, this series was written on October 1st and God has delivered me since then; I wrote it as it was given to me at that time!

Identity disturbances
Patients with dissociative fugue, DDNOS, or DID often experience confusion about their identities or even assume new identities. Identity disturbances result from the patient having split off entire personality traits or characteristics as well as memories. When a stressful or traumatic experience triggers the reemergence of these dissociated parts, the patient may act differently, answer to a different name, or appear confused by his or her surroundings.”
These are medical facts that people can have long term effects from childhood or adult abuse or any other thing which traumatizes them emotionally; yes, even Christians can be and are being affected by these disorders everyday – but there is nothing too hard for God and He is here to deliver NOW!! We are healed from EVERY sin, sickness, disease, disorder, etc. (anything that tries to come against us – any weapon) by the stripes of Jesus!!
We cannot be so spiritual that we allow ourselves to be in total denial of what is going on with us! We are quick to quote how God is turning everything around for our good, but we must play a part in Him doing that! Yes, I know God does not NEED our help; I am talking about giving Him permission to do just that – we must allow God to do whatever it takes to turn those things in our lives around that need to be turned around. When the issues that we have not dealt with comes up, we must allow God to tell us how to deal with them and get them solved once and for all. Yes, God can wipe them away from our minds without us having to deal with them (and sometimes He does do that for some memories) but if He does that for all memories, how are we going to testify of His goodness; how He delivered us.
The Word lets us know we are overcomers by the Blood of the Lamb (Jesus) and the word of our testimonies!! If we never went through anything, how are we going to have a testimony! A testimony comes when God has delivered us out of something and brought us through it (we have dealt with those issues – that is how deliverance comes)! A testimony cannot be birth out of denial – you still are blind saying “That did not happened to me” in your mind – you are not willing to face the truth or do not know you are in denial – either way, you are still in bondage to those past issues. A person will only have a testimony when he/she are free from the thing(s) which had he/she bound; then the person will be able to go and tell what the Lord has done and help someone else get set free.
I believe God wanted me to share my revelations He gave me about me with you so that is why I am doing it. I pray that as you read this, God will open the eyes of your heart and allow you to see things from YOUR past, childhood or whenever, that have you in bondage and that He will give you your way of escape. I don’t care how spiritual, saved, strong, anointed, etc. you think you are, there are traumatic things that occur in life that can knock you to your knees and have you not wanting to get up. I am asking you not to be fooled into saying “It could never happen to me” or “That does not bother me!” It does and it is affecting you in ways you would never realize unless you allow God to open your eyes to His truth.
