You can experience pain in a number of ways. If we were to

address pain, we could say that pain is “the distress or suffering,

mental or physical, caused by great anxiety, anguish, grief or

disappointment.” Pain can become an isolating ache, which

drags you back and detaches you from a world that to most

appears normal.

Understanding that you’re not alone in your pain...all of

humanity at some point has experienced a segment of pain. Pain

enslaves people and is not so easy for some to release. My focal

point is not so much on your pain, but it’s on the fact that you can

let go of pain. You can experience the freedom that was intended

for you from the inception of this world. God loves you, and

what touches you, touches Him, what affects you, affects Him.

It is His desire for you to be whole. Letting go of the pain is

not a task that can be accomplished alone. God wants to help

you release, not some, but all of what entangles your being

and prohibits you from moving forward. He wants to help you

conquer this affliction so that you can move forward. He wants

to be there for you...you are not alone.

As difficult as this may sound, you must first forgive those

who hurt you, be it mentally or physically, and release them.

Forgive and release, even if the person has passed on. In forgiving

and releasing them, your freedom is at hand. You have purpose,

you have destiny and it is time now for you to arise, go forth

and be all of what God called you into this world to be. I pray

that the anointing on this book permeates your soul so that you

receive the deliverance intended for you at this very moment.

May God bless and keep you as you move into the next level of

your earthly journey!
