I wasn't praying daily out of devotion to preserve and deepen my connection. I wasn't looking at Jesus's model of deliverance and being delievered from demonic oppression in my life. I felt guilty when I couldn't get out of sin cycles -- that God was disappointed in me because I was disappointed in myself. But what if someone had discipled me early on, showing me what it meant to walk with Jesus at an intimate level? What if I realized that my relationship with Jesus was a relational process of transformation and not a perfection I needed to obtain? In this week's podcast, we go into the things I wish I had known when all hell broke loose after I got saved. And that nothing was WRONG.
