nothing to catch them during mind that was the best thing
this fall and the couple ended
up on the streets.
See this is one of those down
parts in one’s life. This cou-
ple was forced to live on the
streets because they did not
have enough money to get
back home. So now here is a
place where they may ask,
“how did I get here?” When
something traumatic hits us
in our lives, we begin to seek
answers to the thousands of
questions that may flood our
minds.
Pastor Joe also shared a story
of a gentleman who he
worked with that was a presi-
dent of a bank and found
himself living on the
streets. This gentleman had
not only lost hope, but he had
lost much more and was at a
point where he wanted to
give up. Let’s back up a little
and share what traumatic sit-
uation affected this success-
ful man that made him want
to give up everything.
One day, Mr. Bank President
and his family, his wife and
two children (son and daugh-
ter) were out on a family out-
ing and the father was driv-
ing. The family got into a
serious car accident that
claimed the lives of his be-
loved wife and his young
son. The spirit of guilt con-
sumed this man and life just
wasn’t the same for him. His
daughter survived, but be-
cause of the great jolt that
occurred in this man’s life, he
became unable to take care of
her and she had to go live
with family; in her father’s

father had already passed
for her since he was the one
responsible for killing her
mother and brother.
This gentleman was dealing
with some psychological fac-
tors where spirits were tag
teaming and sticking together
to keep this man is a place of
guilt, shame, and a host of
other spirits. In my book, the
Christian Journey, there is a
chapter on Cycles and it
speaks about how these hin-
dering spirits don’t operate
alone, but they team up and
help one another. The vision
God showed me was a big
ball of sticky tape. Once that
tape sticks, it is difficult to
separate them again, well that
is the same with hindering
spirits and we must work to-
ward the process of just re-
leasing and tossing away eve-
ry spirit that hinders so that
we can be free.
In addition to my conversa-
tions with Pastor Joe, I also
was able to speak with an in-
dividual who come to receive
services at From His
Throne. This gentleman
shared with me that he was in
his current situation because
he was an only child and his
away, but his mother had got-
ten ill. He had to take time
off work to care for her, but
when it was time for him to
return to work, his job was
no longer available. He was
not able to keep up with the
bills in his parents’ home and
ended up losing the home
and forced to living in the
streets.
See, we never know where
our path is going to take us in
this journey we call life. We
should be respectful of one
another because we never
know what others have dealt
with in their lives and we
definitely do not know what
the plan of God is for one’s
life. We should remember
their current situation is not
their final destination. So
today, I challenge and en-
courage you to share hope
with those around you. Some-
times, this hope can be a
small word of encouragement
or as simple as a warm
smile. They may just be in
the tough part of their pro-
cess on this journey, so help
to pull them up so they can
become successful members
of society and regain any
confidence they may have
lost in the journey. ■
It may be the HOPE someone needs!
