Snatching Shame
Manage episode 494311660 series 3383740
The shame we carry often isn't ours to bear. For years, I carried the heavy weight of my origin story—being born as the product of rape to a mother diagnosed with schizophrenia who struggled without proper treatment or support. God gently instructed me to share this story through my podcast, but fear and shame led me to resist, delay, and complicate what should have been simple obedience.
When I finally began sharing my story, something unexpected happened. Through my own voice, I received the very breakthrough I needed. A casual conversation about "snatching shame" became a divine moment where God showed me He wanted to remove the shame that was never mine to carry. I realized I had been nurturing disappointment my entire life, boxing God in and limiting what I believed He would do for me based on childhood experiences. The shame of my beginnings had created an invisible ceiling over my potential.
What's remarkable is that my delayed obedience still led to transformation. Like Naaman who initially resisted Elisha's simple instructions to dip seven times in the Jordan River, my healing was connected to following divine directions—even when I didn't immediately understand their purpose. A recent dream about butterflies perfectly stacking upon one another revealed how our breakthroughs build upon each other, creating a foundation for complete transformation. Your breakthrough isn't just a single event; it's the beginning of a "stacking anointing" that God has planned for your life. Are you ready to let Him snatch your shame and replace it with real deliverance? What blessing is waiting on the other side of your obedience?
