Stroke Survivor Stories

Words can not describe but I tried my best to retell this story. Joshua.

What demonic energy has a foothold on you? Is it anger, fear, anxiety, procrastination, unforgiveness, envy? Are your idols sex, money, career, children, self? Anything you put before God is an idol. Are you a seductress? Are you continually lusting and cheating on your spouse, or having sex outside the covenant? For me my demonic footholds were anger, judgment, control, lust, and the biggest one fear. Just because we're caught up in a demonic state, it's only temporary. It's temporary because love conquers all. God is love. Let the spirit of God and His word fill you with love, mercy, compassion, generosity, hard work, service, and care. Remove and replace all the footholds of the enemy. Let God defeat and remove any foothold from your spirit. The enemy is temporary and easily defeated. The spirit of God is easily attained yet difficult to commit to. God grants us free will. The freedom to choose. The thief (enemy) comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10. Suffering seasons will come according to the will of God. There is a reason for the season. Take the lesson not the penalty. Apply His lessons to your life and ask Him for forgiveness. God's word is nourishment. EAT.

The journey continues. Celibacy, spiritual commitment, resiting temptation. How and why. Creating a new legacy in a new country. Respecting God, family, country, and culture. The result of God's word from the inside out. Invitation to bible study. Comment and let's connect.

God is so good. Disappeared for a while. Lots to catch up on. My life has evolved. Please comment. Would love to hear your thoughts. Kindness always.

New York the city I've loved since birth has changed. Satan is at work and God is working harder. All we can do is remain faithful and wait on God. It is His timing and not ours. Love God: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. Love your neighbor: "And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/desiree-celeste3/support

The healthcare system is disgrace against people of color and low income families. The system doesn't want to help individuals who have gone through something traumatizing in their life whether it be a financial or in regards to health. Society wants us to get back to work but Society has to realize that we'll get back there faster with assistance and with the proper Healthcare treatment. We can't just be the group you point your finger at we have to be the group that you help support and build up to make this country stronger. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/desiree-celeste3/support

This is a detailed explanation of my medical experience. The reason why I called it sins is because God gave us a temple and it is our job to take care of our temple. Our temple is our bodies we have to take care of our bodies physically and mentally. I've had quite the experience and sometimes I feel like when I tell my story it's so incredible that many people would probably never believe me. What I'm sure of is God is great and he puts you in these experiences so you can learn from it and grow. Lord I want you to know that I hear you. My body is my temple, it is a gift from you and I am taking care of it the way I was destined to. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/desiree-celeste3/support

Hope City Church in Texas is where my favorite pastor is from. Pastor Jeremy Foster is no longer with Hope City. When he resigned I resigned. I loved him and I could not connect with the new pastor. This episode explains why I was so connected to him. I also explain my sins of the past. How I was so checked out of my marriage that I cam close to committing the same sin he did. This does not absolve me from anything. Marriages crumble and neither party is innocent. If I could change anything in my past I would use kinder language. Words are weapons you can never take back. I am guilty of this. I am no longer that person because I am no longer angry. Once you replace anger with God's love a change occurs from the inside out. God is so good. I've learned from my mistakes. My next human love will be my best love because the spirit of God fills me a guides my steps. I still pray for my family of the past and God has forgiven me. I pray they have as I have forgiven them. God bless. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/desiree-celeste3/support

Experience this new life in a social setting. Stepping out of the box of independence, yet staying guarded with making intimate connections. While others are mapping out their lives I am learning who to map my from one end of the bar to another without spilling my drink and avoiding any physical catastrophe. I was a billboard for being my mother's child who survived a stroke. I felt good, looked good, and enjoyed being tracked by a select few. From the hunter to the hunted. This new experience was great.
