Fully Restored :: Lorraine Varela [EP24]

In this podcast episode, we’ll be talking about a topic which is hardly discussed because it is too taboo… abortion. We’ll be looking specifically at what it means to be fully restored whether you’ve had an abortion or are considering making such a tragic decision. Even if this episode doesn’t resonate with many of you, I encourage you to listen because Lorraine clearly explains her personal life mission to set women free from despair, bondage and shame.Lorraine shares since starting her ministry she has come across hundreds of women who have kept their abortion a secret because of fear of being shamed or labeled. Christian churches are great at a lot of things, yet when it comes to abortion it has horribly failed to become Jesus’ hands and feet.“Many women don’t even realize the numerous ways that abortion affects their daily lives. The Lord wants to uncover shame, reveal the ways their lives have been affected”She shares different examples of the effects of abortion and how certain women suffer relationship problems due to an inability to connect and maintain intimacy. “The cutting and severing of the ties through abortion affect relationships.” God gives us so many promises in scriptures, and its imperative that we ask God to show us who we are. This isn’t only true for individuals who have suffer through an abortion, it applies to every mom. Lorraine suggests women sit quietly to ask God why He loves us, who we are in Him and for to connect with our true identities.“Some underlying emotions that women may not realize are denial. There’s also the difficulty of relationship, pent up anger and not understanding the source of anger and body issues… it’s very insidious how the enemy has used the anti-life spirit to affect all areas of life”What we chat aboutThe effects of abortionIdentifying and addressing the hurt of brokennessHealing journeyDifferent emotions for those who have undergone abortionThe power of journalling Taking steps to be fully restoredConnect with LorraineWEBSITE: Inspiring FaithFACEBOOK: Lorraine VarelaINSTAGRAM: Lorraine VarelaLINKEDIN: Lorraine VarelaYOUTUBE: Inspiring Faith International
