Torn Garments of a Christian Soldier: Assurance Through God's Enriched Promises

By Debbie Y. Prejean

Torn Garments of a Christian Soldier was given to the author by the Holy Spirit, during a time of much prayer and fasting. Throughout this book you will be able to understand the different levels of brokenness and also deliverance in each chapter.

This particular book was written to allow all to have an open mind toward inner feelings we dare not talk about. As you read each chapter, you will see how others express their emotions with life challenges and some of great pain as they recognize that all Gods children have issues at times. I pray that this book will touch and inspire each of you.

FOREWORD

Men and Women today have many issues of oppression: financially, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and socially. There is a subtle attack taking place against Christians today. The Bible says that Satan was more subtle that any other wild creature, (Genesis 3:1 KJV). Distractions, past hurts, and disappointments are still obstacles that Christian people face today. In the Book of Ephesians, Paul warned us to put on the whole armour of God that we might be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, (Ephesians 6:11 KJV). Satan has always been a subtle deceiver, but now in these last days he has renewed his assault.

"The Torn Garment of a Christian Soldier" helps one to realize that you are truly beautiful—both inside and out—in spite of today’s standards. In fact sometimes the lack of dimension often demanded of our lives will have a person to starve when they are unable to choose which star to reach for; will it be love, hope, spirituality, ambition, career, marriage, children, etc.? It can be the paradox of womanhood and manhood elucidated clearly for you. I strongly believe every person, young and old, throughout their lives’ will strike different chords at different times. It taught me about how unfair the world can be to certain people, but you should always fight for what’s right.

"Be sober, be vigilant; because our adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may devour ". (1 Peter 5:8 KJV) The Bible says that Satan is a deceiver, a liar, and the father of lies (see John 8:44 KJV). Although he cannot defeat us, he can deceive us and his plan of deception has unfortunately been successful against the body of Christ in general and women in particular. This plan of deception has damaged the lives of countless people who were meant to bring glory to God and victory to the body of Christ. Men and women everywhere are under attack as the devil attempts to block our blessings, causes our spiritual gifts to be ineffective, trivialize our anointing, and nullify the power working through us to deliver God’s Word to hurting people. Men and women both inside and outside the church community struggle with substance abuse and addictions—from alcohol to compulsive eating, and even to prescription drugs. People everywhere suffer from illnesses brought on from stress and tension. Our health-related issues rack at the top of the list of leading causes of death in America. We, the people need to be HEALED, REVIVED, RESTORED, RENEWED, and REGENERATED. We need a fresh touch from God and a new attitude of determination that God’s plan will not be thwarted in our lives.

Reaching new levels in God does not come easily. It does not come without a price tag. It does not come without struggles. Each level of our upward progression will be marked by another attempt to pull us off course. When Paul and Silas were imprisoned for their faith, their feet were bound and their hands were chained. They were in the stronghold of the prison (see Acts 16:16-24 KJV) with no chance of
