I became aware of the supernatural power of God while in recovery from debilitating mental illness and addiction. In 2013 I had hit a rock bottom. I’d survived multiple suicide attempts, hospitalizations, been in and out of behavioral health treatment, and relapsed many times on hard drugs and alcohol. I was clinically diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, bipolar 2, obsessive compulsive disorder, non-specified mood disorder, and substance abuse disorder. Doctors, therapists, psychiatrists, friends, family and a list of medications too long to share could not keep me well.
After somewhat of an intervention, I hastily agreed to enter a faith-based recovery program called Teen Challenge. As I was being healed, delivered, and set into my true identity, I simultaneously became hungry to learn and see more of God’s power. My mind was being renewed and in sharing with friends and family what I was hearing of His supernatural power, I encountered unbelief. The stories I was sharing were too hard to accept for them because they weren’t hearing them anywhere else.
My spiritual journey continued and I discovered new ways of God’s power. By the time I enrolled in a supernatural ministry school, part of me was angry; angry that I hadn’t known this side of God sooner. Nobody had told me the things I was learning, and maybe that’s because no one had told them. This topic is controversial, so some people may want to keep quiet. I want to be a voice that helps others get to see the side of God that I find so fascinating. That’s why I want to share stories about God’s supernatural power.
