We Are Overcomers by the Blood of the Lamb

I'm sure all of you had to deal with something in your life to overcome. I know I did. It was a process in the 90s, but I did receive my breakthrough. Through the help of the Lord and others who were believers, I was overcome by the Blood of the Lamb.

I had a lot of hurts, and because of the spirit of fear, I had a racing mind. It would keep me up since I could not stop my mind. I would be so tired the next day and exhausted and healthy with chronic fatigue. Looking back, I wondered how I went to work every day exhausted and tired.

The doctor did a sleep study and could not believe what they witnessed. When I did sleep, I almost left the bed at night, which explained why my mattress was a foot off the bed every morning. I went to a minister who did deliverance and healing. She worked with my trauma and pain. Once she cast out the spirit of fear, I felt quiet for the first time. I was at peace.

Not only that, but I slept through the night without any interruptions, and my mattress was a foot off the bed. It is incredible to realize that trauma, in any form (emotional, spiritual, or physical), can cause so much havoc to the body, causing insomnia. I learned, since I had a spirit of fear that entered in that the chemicals in my brain were releasing too much cortisol. Long-term fear, stress, or worry causes your body to release cortisol, a death hormone.

Too much cortisol release taxed your adrenal glands, causing insomnia all the way to anxiety and panic. I also learned, after deliverance, how to discern my thoughts by casting them down or giving my concerns to the Lord. Letting go, basically. This helped me break the strongholds of the mind.
