Staying Free After Breaking Freeಮಾದರಿ

INTRODUCTION

It was a few days before Easter Sunday 2003 when I looked into the mirror and fully surrendered my 25-year battle with bulimia over to Jesus. Although I had been working on recovery with the Lord for more than a year, I realized there was one final step before freedom was truly mine. I needed to take God at His Word and believe I was free. That’s when I made the most powerful declaration I’ve ever prayed, “Okay God, I am going to take you at your Word and believe you have set me free.”

That very day I did something others might consider extreme. I changed my hair color. Why? Because I needed a visual reminder that I was no longer the same person. I was a new creation. The old was gone; the new had come.

Hi, I’m Rae Lynn DeAngelis, founder and executive director of Living in Truth Ministries. Twenty-one years after I prayed that prayer, I am still walking in truth and freedom! If you would like to know how I’ve been able to stay free, keep reading. This plan reveals several keys to success that have guided my freedom journey, and they can help you stay free too.

If you have not already done so, I encourage you to download our plan Break Free & Live in Truth, another YouVersion Bible plan that shares my journey to freedom from bulimia and the critical steps leading up to my liberty. Both plans are based on my personal journey and highlight important steps to break free, stay free, and live in truth. Each of the day’s readings include the following:

• Life-Application Devotion
• Personal Reflection
• Prayer
• Scriptures for Renewing the Mind

Let’s get started!
