From Trauma to Triumph

FINDING LIBERTY: FROM TRAUMA TO TRIUMPH

There's nothing like the written Word of God for showing you the way to true liberty through faith in
Jesus Christ. Through God's Word we are created, mended, shaped and put back together for the
purpose predestined for us. Let it equip and empower you to walk in liberty.
Do not be so scared that you cannot envision the glory of a new beginning. Do not be so consumed by
tests, trials, and trauma that you fail to grasp the glory of the coming triumph. Do not feel so condemned
that you feel there is no redemption for you. Do not be so beaten down by the scourge of captivity
that you jettison the glory of freedom. Do not allow the troubles of your past faze you or your present
tribulations derail you. Forget the ugly truths - the unmentionable pains and the inconceivable hurts.
Remember the reasons. Remember your dreams. Remember why you began the journey in the
beginning. Remember the call of liberty. The call that told you, "You are more than this." Remember
the stirrings in your spirit for something more meaningful, more fulfilling, more enriching than the
mediocre, mundane and ordinary existence that sapped your energy and dampened your spirit at the
rising of the sun. We don't get burned out because of what we do. We get burned out because we
forget why we do the things we do.
Whether you are jaded from past trauma, a present heartache, or a persistent feeling of rejection,
self-doubt, the bitter sting of failure does not have to narrate your story. If you conclude that your best
days are over - they are. If you think they're ahead - they are. Regardless of the adversity that you
face, regardless of how abysmal you think your situation is, you can face every day with enthusiasm.
You can walk your way through trauma to triumph. All it requires is your faith.
You can be everything you always dreamed of, soaring to the heights that always called out to you. You
can dream again, journeying with uncertainty through the valley of rebirth - knowing that God is still
in control. As you learn to cultivate the power within, you will come to the truth that you are broken to
be blessed and that your liberty is guaranteed - as you transit from trauma to triumph.
Graves become gardens and bones become armies. Ashes become beauty and seas becomes highways!
The oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Heroes and victims
both get knocked down by life's circumstances. See yourself as a Hero that got back up, armed with
faith and determined for purpose, instead of a victim that stayed down, defeated by fear. Be the Hero
that creates a positive future from a broken past.
Whether the captivity we experience is due to the actions of others or social circumstances, the captivity
of physical infirmities, or that which we bring to ourselves by our own mindset, choices and attitude,
the captivity of physical death comes to us all as a result of the fall of Adam. God offers liberty to all
captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.
Let this book "From Trauma to Triumph: Finding Liberty" uncover how God transforms a troubled past
into a glorious destiny to illustrate that there is more in you than your history.
