Push for Freedom Amazing Grace

By C. Rae Johnson

In life, we often find ourselves entangled and caught up in ways that compromise a standard for living a life of love and trust. Our moral code becomes corrupt, leaving a trail of mistakes and sinful living that we just don't know how to get out of. We question whether we can ever be forgiven, once we've realized our wrong doing. The world we live in may encourage these wrongful ways, disguising enslavement as freedom; but we can escape them and be truly free. We can live a life of grace and forgiveness and finally move forward in true freedom. We don't have to be in bondage, anymore. We can have hope for our future.

Writing has been in my blood my whole life, even as a nurse & personal trainer but life always got in the way to pursue it further. That was until a life changing event changed my world, but offered me the time to finally write. I was sidelined by a Traumatic Brain Injury and developed Post-Concussion Syndrome but by the grace of God I was able to complete books and am continuing to do so. My life altering event shows how good can come out of bad. I strive to educate others through empathy, compassion & experience relating to our common needs, offering real solutions and practical ways of help, inspiring hope for a future. There is so much more than meets the eye and no one should ever give up. I'm living proof of that! We all need to persevere and just keep going, even through our difficult times in life. I'm giving back through my writing, for the Grace that was given unto me. Let's all become Battle Ready!*A Donation will be made to Hopes House Kenya Orphans for every book purchase. Than you for your support!

Backwards

As you ponder on our world today, you may notice all of the corruption that is taking place within these vast lands; within governments, society, families, extended relationships and education, to the point of seeing a large portion of the population essentially being devolved, living in an essence of moral decay. 

As a whole, society has developed a warped moral compass, consisting of degrading social economic values in regard to human life, family, work ethics, morals and faith.

Systems that have been long set in place for everyone’s own protection, have become backwards in their approach, further compromising one’s virtues.  All too frequently there is a lack of dignity, respect, honor, integrity, morality, decency and purity.  In its place has been the indoctrination and instilling of a type of bondage that includes fear, anger, confusion, guilt, deception, despair and helplessness in the forms of strongholds, with its design to encompass an entire society. 

Exposure to sexually explicit material, whether through television, movies, music, education, online, software, magazines, social media, friends, chat rooms,  acquaintances, and especially relationships whether through dating or even generational (in the house from a parent), is happening alarmingly at younger ages and is somehow, though disturbing, becoming worldly accepted.

Awareness

Do we realize what it is that we are doing to our lives, as well as those who we care for?  Do we, as a whole, have so little regard for the future of our generations, the innocent? 

We have an epidemic in the sexual slave trade industry that targets our children, no matter how young or where they live.  Our safety and the freedoms to protect ourselves along with our families are being stripped away daily.  At any age really, from the very young to well into adulthood, people are as prey in the sex industry.

Pornography for instance, has ensnared countless people; men, women, boys, even girls, and it has wrecked their lives along with their relationships with others.  It has negatively impacted and destroyed others connected to those viewing porn; their marriages, their spouses, their families, friends, employment, careers, even their own minds and sense of self-worth.

I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes:  Psalm 101:3

Sex, Drugs, Money & Brokenness

Porn is a plague that is so readily accessible, it is destroying more people’s lives than wars, not only through visually explicit sexual acts, but also by displaying aggression, violence, alcohol and drug abuse, mistreatment of others and misrepresentation of love; as it is only lust taken to the most negative level, leading to mistrust.  It is a Trojan Horse sin that opens the door, to more sin.

Porn is an epidemic that is a multi-billion-dollar industry; a huge problem world-wide, and especially in the United States, as being a leader in the perverted industry.

Porn brings about numerous negative effects: emotional, physical, psychological, relational, even spiritual, as a victim to pornography and sexually immoral behavior, ends up being really broken, in every sense of the word. 

What starts off as being intriguing, desirable, a sneaky taboo, or even forced manipulation, changes a person almost innately.
