When pain turns into purpose, there is great victory. There is no denying that my pain has magnified the power of God’s miraculous transformation in my life. We all experience adversity in our lives. And when we listen to the testimonies of others who have overcome similar challenges through faith and faith alone, it inspires us to believe in God’s power in our own restoration. God has given me a great ability to endure pain. In a sense, He has given me an appetite for it. I appreciate pain because I recognize what it reveals and what is waiting on the other side of it. When I was reborn in Christ, I concluded that everything in my life had purpose and meaning, including the pain. What could I learn? How could I grow from it? How could I use the pain as springboard in my transformation? In what manner could I utilize the experience gained from my pain to better serve God’s Kingdom? I wanted to know. I didn’t care to numb the pain. I believed that it was there for a reason. And I didn’t want a quick fix. I wanted a lasting solution. I simply trusted that if I continued forward on the path that The Lord illuminated, He would give me the strength to take on ANY obstacles that were presented to me. I became extremely courageous in the POWER of The Lord. And I grew excited about my healing. I was eager to take on the pain. And that passionate pursuit, that process led me to the root. Exactly what I wanted to uncover. It was time to break the cycles of turmoil in my life, otherwise they would continue to repeat. God revealed so much to me through the pain. Traveling through that process with Him led to a great closeness. An amazing, trusted bond. And that bond allowed me to understand the root of my pain, the spiritual imbalance and evil influences that had led me into great captivity through mental illness for decades. Many will say that healing is not that simple. I will respectfully disagree. And this episode will reveal to you why. Do not allow yourself to be discouraged. There is purpose in your pain. Get to the root and you will reveal it.
