Roger's Encounter

(For an understanding of "Encounter" please see the post "Introduction to Encounter")

Don,
The H.S. revealed to me that I had a generational curse that I have been dealing with for too long. I went up to get prayed for and acknowledge that I needed release from something I’ve been battling my whole life. The way you presented it as something we see as a family trait may actually be a curse. I attributed it to my American Indian heritage. It has quite a history on my dad’s side of the family. It was alcoholism. I went thru the AA training at Bridgetown Church of Christ last year but it wasn’t head knowledge that I needed, it was identification, acknowledgement and acceptance. I’ve had victory for years at a time since I’ve been walking with God the last 25 years but it has been something that has been a battle at times. It has never really ruled my life but I have had to fight the temptation far too much at times, sometimes successfully and sometimes not. It has affected my life and relationships at times. The difference since Wednesday has been incredible. I have been thanking God for the difference. It has always been something difficult to talk about – toxic Christianity and pride.
“As dedicated followers of Christ we shouldn’t have a struggle with such moral weaknesses or sins of the flesh.”
“Just claim the victory and walk on.”
The list goes on. Thank you for serving and leading thru Encounters.

In Christ,
Roger
