Abstinence Doesn't Mean Deliverance Part 4
My Setback Was A Setup For My Comeback
Stacey Lunsford
Key Verse - Galatians 5:18-21
Setback is something that delays progress: something that reverses or delays the progress of somebody or something. My detour in life was the relationship that I was in that I shouldn't have been in. Messed up by the hooked up, yep that was me...oh how I thank God for the day that He rescued me!
Comeback is a return to a successful position or activity! Everything that the enemy has stolen from me...he has to give it back 7 times what it was and I am not talking about giving me back what he wants me to have! I am taking back what is mine because you know what? I got it like that! Thank You Lord!
