Precious In You

Precious On YouTube

Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire is a film you need to see!

I had the privilege of watching Precious today,(view YouTube trailer) I wouldn’t suggest it for everyone as it is an emotionally charged movie depicting what is theatre for some but real life for others. There are just as many people still reliving their abuse as there are talking about it and being set free. Precious was what some would term as a “black’ movie but it contained some pivotal truth… welfare and abuse cross cultural lines. It’s not a black thing. Some people are holding onto a painful past to protect others while they are being eaten from the inside out. That’s not God’s plan for HIS people. God never intended for us to be enslaved and imprisoned to our past.

John 8:36
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Freedom from a painful past is a choice. Like Precious you have to come to a place where enough is enough. Will it be easy? No. It’s never easy but it’s always possible with God.

I know many people who have experienced sexual abuse as children or as adults; some have embraced the healing virtue of God and others suffer emotional distress as they flashback to yesterday. You have the power to make the decision not to become captive to yesterday’s memories and pain.

In many ways some people will find themselves far removed from the life of Precious; never abused, financially secure, confident etc. but each of us has an area that we need God to work in and some of us –many areas. Stay tuned for Out Of The Box, our series on being FREE INDEED!
