Looking at the little girl
Playing blissfully across the street.
Martha closed her eyes and recollected her own sweet childhood.
Each day was so joyful.
How she wished she could live like that again.
Now 25 years later
She was in and out of the doctor’s office.
In and out of jobs.
In and out of relationships.
She was suffering from insomnia, depression and obesity.
From a happy little girl to a severely depressed adult.
How did this happen?
“There are strongholds in your life which needs to be broken Martha”, her church friend had once told her.
“It’s about time I did”, Martha thought to herself that day.
She declared and decreed loudly for the devil to hear.
"I am taking back what the enemy stole,
With the power of the Holy Ghost.
I am breaking every strong hold in my life with the blood of Jesus Christ.
I am taking it all back what the locusts stole.
I decree and declare every torn part of me will get whole."
She then renewed her commitment to follow Adonai like King Josiah did in the bible
The king stood by the pillar and renewed the covenant in the presence of the Lord—to follow the Lord and keep his commands, regulations and decrees with all his heart and soul, thus confirming the words of the covenant written in this book. Then all the people pledged themselves to the covenant.
2 Kings 23:3 CJB
And a new promise she clung on from that day.
You will come to the grave in full vigor, like sheaves gathered in season. Joel 5: 26 NIV
And
true to that promise she got better and better each day.
