Before we can dive into emotional wounds, healing, and the challenges that we face as women, it is important to lay a foundation.
In today’s episode, 002, we talk about some of the foundations that I believe are necessary in the journey toward emotional healing and deliverance. Had I had this foundation, a solid understanding of it, I may have not went on living under so much pain and weight for so many years. The list of these foundations is not all inclusive, but it does consist of some of the foundations that have played a crucial role in my own personal journey of deliverance:
1) Understanding God’s Nature
2) Understanding who We are
3) Understanding who Satan is
4) Understanding our fight and who it is against
