So many people have had the innocence of their childhood stolen by the enemy through a myriad of circumstances (lack of a father’s presence in the home, verbal / physical or sexual abuse, controlling mothers or fathers, sexually molested by a friend, family member or parent, loss of a parent). When a person grows up void of a healthy environment, the enemy is able to hurt them from the beginning and many go their entire lifetimes struggling to recover the innocence that was lost. Many struggle with healthy marital relationships, causing them to choose people who have demons who then torment them even more, causing divorces and having their own children to get hurt in the similar ways that they were harmed.

For many people, worry and fear is a constant state of life.  They worry about their children, their spouse, their finances, their job, their health, and on and on it goes.  Worry is fear based, which is a spirit of the enemy.  The enemy whispers to you in order to get you on his territory so that he can torment you to never enjoy peace in your life.  Peace should be normal for every Christian but we know so many in the church who call themselves Christians, who are are fearful everyday.  They think about what could happen that could be bad.  They come up with many scenarios how they could lose their home or farm, how they won't have enough money to pay for their bills, how they may lose their spouse if this or that happens.
