Road to Healing
What happens early in life can have a lasting, terrible impact.
A divorce or other loss of parent(s) may injure a child in ways he or she doesn't know for decades, maybe ever. The mother of a well-known man left his father when he was 7. There was no discussion, teaching or comfort. Just boom!
The emotional wound silently drove him into addiction and gambling which lasted for decades. Something was missing. He felt unworthy. He held it in.
If you watch TV some, you probably see his commercials. If you watch much, you probably see him too much. 😉
He is Mike Lindell, the My Pillow Guy.
His type-A personality got him places, but also divorce, affecting four children of his own. He thought he could get right with Jesus late in life ... no hurry.
Mike was guided (herded) to Operation Restored Warrior, a recovery center for heads of state, generals, priests, Ph.D.s and others who hide their truth from the public. Chatty Mike began to tell the counselor all about himself. He was told to knock it off.
He needed to go back to the beginning and address it. To find the points of pain, the broken places.
As Mike uncovered and processed each stage of his reckless life, he found that Jesus was with him through it all. He surrendered, finding the joy, love and peace that goes with salvation ... the fruit of deliverance.
He wrote in his book, What Are the Odds? From Crack Addict to CEO, how the burden of sins fell away.
