By 17 years old, Katie Souza was on the air, with CBS television, pursuing her dream of fame and success.
Acting and modeling opportunities followed, but a drug addiction that began in her teens threatened everything Katie was striving for. Becsuse of her addiction She lost an important acting role with Universal Studios.
That was like her last blow. Thereafter she fell face first into crime, and became a full-time drug seller. She was arrested 12 times in one year for multiple felonies. Finally, she was arrested on federal charges for conspiracy, manufacturing narcotics and weapons violations. She was sentenced to 13 years in prison.
During her years behind bars, Katie reached her breaking point and cried out to God for help.
Katie prayed to become a Christian. The only book in the whole place was the Bible. So she picked it up and began reading through it. As she read, the Holy Spirit began to point out Scriptures about the people of ancient Israelites who went through captivity but were brought out of bondage by God’s power. Katie, realized that it was like her own story.
Soon she began teaching other inmates what she was learning from the Holy Spirit and raised a fellowship group in the prison.
After serving five years of her thirteen-year sentence, Katie won her appeal and was released early.
Today, she is an international minister of the Gospel who teaches a worldwide audience.
As Christians we are called to be overcomers. We are “not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our mind” (Romans 12:2). Christianity is meant to be a lifetime of transforming our thoughts and mind to become like Jesus Christ.
But none of us can truly overcome without the help of the Spirit.
We must therefore allow the Spirit to become the guiding force in our lives .
without His power we can have no real victory in life.
It is because the Spirit dwells in us that we are called the children of God (Romans 8:14-17).
The Holy Spirit keeps us in contact with God’s mind and helps us to have a deeper comprehension of the Word. When Jesus promised the apostles He would send the Holy Spirit to them, He said the Spirit would “guide [them] into all truth” (John 16:13).
The Holy Spirit guides us through the rough pathways of life to the colorful future that awaits us. Romans 8:26 tells us that God’s Spirit helps us in our weaknesses, and through Him we can do all things.
Without reliance on the Spirit a Christian will be trapped in the fleshly life of defeat and constant struggles with sin and temptations.
But through the Holy Spirit we overcome every sin, addiction, shortcomings and eventually break forth to the glorious destiny preordained for us
PRAYER: Lord, please help me to develop a deeper relationship with the Spirit so that He can enable me to overcome any struggle with sin and truly become Christlike in all I do in Jesus Name.
