Overcoming Addiction as a Christian
Переглядів 11 тис.4 роки тому
Today, August 17th 2020, I am 1 year sober. This is my testimony about overcoming substance abuse addiction as a Christian who really is living for Christ. Contrary to popular belief, marijuana is addictive and affects people negatively. For me, it became my idol. I hope this video uplifts and edifies the body of Christ and glorifies God! notthesamejj Email: NotTheSameJJ@gmail.co...
You can also get out of addiction as a Muslim. Get out of addiction as a Buddhist. We all have the same creator depicted as different Gods
@@je8z6x there’s only one God, Jesus Christ.
Jesus is God and the truth Amen
Why have you stopped making UA-cam video ? Your channel is positive and inspiring.
@@rizeuse I’ll be back soon!
🙏go out to everyone! Jesus love you no matter what you are struggling with. “ If God be for you , who can be against you. “ God will win your battles ( not us alone) 👀👀Jesus ! Never give up!

Amen brother!! Thank you for this video
I Been too struggling for 17yrs of alcoholism since i was 16, i was a teen mom at 15 her father was an alcoholic and i got into drinking been up and down struggled. I always felt same and guilty doing things i well never do if i was sober just hated myself 😢but I'm still going to keep going not by my strength but i feel great ❤
Amen keep pushing rely on His strength!! HE IS ABLE‼️
Im crying watching this. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your testimony. And thank God for what He has done in your life. Im literally struggling with this right now, and its causing me shame & guilt, keeping me from answering my calling because i feel unworthy every time i smoke. Im 23, smoked weed since 2024. Single mother of two. I LONGGGGG to get closer to God EACH DAY, and live the life in full that HE planned for me to live. And i KNOW weed and my impatience is whats hindering me right now. The weed doesn’t help with my impatience either btw, lol. But all in all, your testimony was BEYOND relatable and so empowering. Also convicting lol, I love conviction because it holds me accountable to the sin i try justifying so thanks! I am so proud of you. Ive never seen your channel before but Im definitely subscribing & in full support. Thanks for YOUR YES to your calling. The part when you said you realized what you do affects those that look up to you, I FELT THAT! And that’s exactly what I may needed to hear to help me just submit and quit cold turkey. Please pray for my strength if anyone is reading this. 🥺💕✝️
AMEN 🙏🏾 praying for your strength right now! I’m about to hit 5 years in August and when I was in the midst of the battle I never thought I would! I wasn’t able but GOD IS ABLE!!
My addiction is a weird food addiction(pica) and now my body is suffering because of it, but i still can't stop eating these weird things now i know it is an addiction😩 i hope Jesus hears me too. The Dr told me it could lead to colon cancer.
He hears and is able to. Have you tried counseling?
Amen
Proud of you
PRAY MY ADDICTION IS TAKEN AWAY. I trust Christ as my Savior, I know I'm saved, but I cannot beat an addiction, even tho I try
Keep praying and ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to the root of the addiction! There might be some practical steps you need to take! Maybe there are things or people in your life you need to remove? Maybe it’s counseling to dig up some past trauma? Trust the Holy Spirit to guide you and allow Him to search the most uncomfortable parts of your heart! Father I pray in Jesus name you give your child the strength to overcome this battle, God I pray the power of your Holy Spirit breaks through this stronghold! Allow Him to get to the root and sever it, in Jesus mighty name! Amen! Trust and believe!
@@notthesamejj4576 bruh I done did all of that! I think God just wants me to man up but it is SOUL CRUSHING HARD
@@WahaiAhau yo hit me on IG @notthesamejj
Dope 🔥, but I know You Got More where that came from?!!??
Thank you! New music coming soon! Follow on IG @notthesamejj!!
Thank you Brother
wow! praise God! what you said at 8:00 is so beautiful. I was addicted to weed for a few years. Couldn't stop as much as I tried. Finally the Lord, delivered me from it. Then I learned how deeply I was addicted to sleep. Its been 1 1/2 years of trying to overcome this bondage. Over this time I've learned how much I've used sleep to cope. God has taught me so much and I am praying for full deliverance. Your testimony is encouraging, praise God for walking with us, teaching us and pouring out his Love on us through battles and his mercy to deliver us!
Amen 🙏🏾 Lord give Mariah supernatural strength in Jesus’s mighty name!!!
I have experienced the same thing. Thank you.
The gospel is that Jesus Christ (The Eternally Existing Son of God, God The Son, Savior, Christ) promises eternal life ONCE you believe he died for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the 3rd day! Once Saved Always Saved! Matthew 7:21 KJV: Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the 👉WILL OF MY FATHER👈 which is in heaven. John 6:40 KJV: 40 And this is the 👉WILL OF HIM👈 that sent me, that everyone which seeth the son, and 👉BELIEVETH ON HIM👈, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Amen congratulations
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
MY LORD AIN'T HELPING ME AND M SO 😭😭😭 5 YEARS FIGHTING ADDICTION CRYING DAYS AND NIGHTS FOR MY WEAKNESS FEELING LIKE M GOING CRAZY, I DNNW WHT TO SAY, IT IS TIME TO COUNT ON MY SELF BY STRENGTHEN MY SELF AND DO WHT I CAN DO TO OVERCOME MY ADDICTION , FOR I BELIEVE PRAYERS AND MIRACLES BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE ARE NOTHING , THERE IS NO BREAKTHROUGHS IN CHURCHES , NO LOVING EACH OTHER,JUST COME WATCH AND LEAVE STAYING ALONE STRUGGLING DYING EVERYDAY , I LOVE THE LORD A LOT BT M DONE🥺
No you're not done....this is when God does her best work. You are loved beyond measure, please know this. I believe in you
@@americanracismcom our SHEPHERD is good brother and hes doin a great job with a good progress, let it be for the GLORY OF JESUS OUR FATHER, THANK YOU BROTHER ❤️✝️🙏😘
Hope you’re doing ok brother! Definitely look into deliverance prayers against any yokes that the enemy may have placed in the spiritual realm due to iniquity. Deliverance prayers are powerful! The Word is powerful and the best time to pray is midnight against any demonic influence. Felt led to say this God bless. Most times addictions are spiritual strongholds. The authority in Christ needs to be exercised against these spirits. God bless!
It definitely was demonic! And yes still 100% delivered!
@@notthesamejj4576 Glory! Glad you are remaining in freedom!
Union with Christ sets us free from the hold of sin (Rom 6), not some "deliverance" prayers. We turn back to sin because of the sinful desires stemming from our unredeemed flesh which is our earthly house. The way out is having a greater love to God and engaging more in the means of grace. 9 times out of 10 when we sin is because of neglected prayers. Rom 13:14 But put on the Lord Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires. Know your triggers and run away from them through God's enabling power. This is a battle that has been won already, you shall overcome. Amenn!
I was depressed and ironically met a girl who i liked and she was a christian. At first i was learning bible verses to impress her. Little did I know God was using that to reach me. I ended up clean from Marijuana for 3 years got into minisrty was preaching as well. One night at a friends birthday i fell into that temptation and relapsed. I didnt want to be in ministry anymore. My life fell apart. Lost my business. Lost 2 family members to suicide. All the friends i had moved away and i was left alone. 3 days ago I lost my dog to cancer and that was my last breaking point. Im now 3 days clean and have returned to Gods grace im struggling but im more than a conqueror through Christ. I feel the same shame you did. God is good. Whoever is reading this. Remember this. Somewhere in the future we are doing better than we are right now. God bless
🙏🏾
Amen brother
Yeah it hurts and feels almost as if we're not even saved , let alone love Jesus , but the reality of it all is He knew what our future held the moment we heard the Gospel , believed in , and on Him and His name , and by grace through faith in Him alone , believed in our hearts and confessed with our mouths that He was Lord , our Lord , in front of every last spiritual being in high places , and below , calling on His name for Salvation , that we were eternally saved spiritually !!! Forever !!! And since that moment we've been on the battlefield following behind the footsteps of the Lord , and though we may stumble , maybe even fall being pinned under the heavy gunfire of cornagraphy or some other enemy , we still are allowed to shoot back through prayer and faith in Him and His leadership , catching our balance , or even getting back up 8 times to the trillionth power being faithful unto death in the Truth that The Author and Finsher of our Faith will bring us through this trial as silver refined in the fire and try us as gold is tried like He promised us !!! All Factz !!! So keep pressing forward with and towards Him under all circumstances no matter what !!! Yes [ all ] circumstances , period !!! No matter what !!! ⚔️ Jesus is Lord !!! ua-cam.com/play/PLBcju7eOy1avlcThGN2OL86Q07RpOdsze.html&si=5WnIsCZZBR2MSU73
crying right now 😢 your battle is almost identical to mine! and im in the thick of it right now 😢 broken hearted crying to God every day. Ive been so ashamed ❤
@@jadeburke7302 keep crying out to Him! There is victory in Jesus!
istll struggle and i worry about going to hell, i feel so ashamed i am not obeying God!
If your faith is in Jesus Christ you are not going to hell. The Bible says there’s no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus! As far as obedience goes you just need to surrender!
I also started smoking weed when I was 13. Much like you, I was raised well in a Christian household. I also went off of the Lords path and became addicted. Nicotine, weed and alcohol. When I moved out of my parents house, I got into cocaine for a while and mushrooms. This year I’ve been telling God and my friends and family that I’m going to quit, but just about every time I’m near alcohol, or weed, or mushrooms, I do them without hesitation. The past few days I’ve been feeling completely hopeless and that I’m forever going to be an addict. Never able to be firm in my decision to say no. This video is what I’ve needed to see for a long time. I know that God guided me to this video so I thank you so much for making it. God bless you
@@k_gray7715 amen amen amen!
Thanks i needed this right now
Thank you for making this video 🙏🏼 God bless ya

Beautiful, ty so much!
I’m crying rn. I’m a Christian struggling with weed. I’ve been smoking for 7 years. Ive tried to quit countless times. I always think that this is a part of me like you said, and this video just gave me so much strength. Thank you so much.
I’m about to hit 4 years..I thought I’d never get here..GOD IS ABLE don’t believe the enemy’s lies! And you’ll be able to have your testimony! Keep believing that He can and will deliver you!
Thank you, brother.
Need help
For me it’s porn
First Have you prayed for deliverance? If so, what practical steps have you taken to couple the action with your faith? Maybe unfollow pages or accounts that post provocative images or videos, even if it’s friends or family. Or maybe certain tv shows or movies. I don’t watch sex scenes because they’re the same thing and they will trigger me to go back to it if I feed myself with them. So praying that God delivers you and gives you the strength and power to refrain from watching it and then removing anything that contributes to the addiction is my advice. Hope that helps, praying for you
So I’ll be honest here. I’m 18, and I would say that a few reasons I struggle to have assurance of my salvation sometimes is because my prayer life isn’t totally consistent, and maybe this is in part due to the fact that I’m struggling to overcome a vaping addiction. I am convicted that vaping is wrong, because it puts my physical and mental health in jeopardy and it’s not honorable to the body that God gave me - but even when I’ve made attempts to quit using nicotine in the past, it seems to be my besetting sin, and I often find myself relapsing. When I do relapse, I feel really ashamed, and I tend to feel like God’s patience with me is wearing thin or that He doesn’t want to hear from me until I stop using it. I just want to ask for y’all’s prayers, for wisdom as well as my deliverance from this sin in my life because I absolutely hate it but it’s genuinely addictive. Another reason that I occasionally hesitate is that I’m sometimes sort of intimidated by the thought of reading my Bible…? I don’t know why I feel this way; maybe it’s because I don’t always know where to begin reading. But even though I know that salvation is by grace through faith alone, I sometimes have this sneaking suspicion that I need to quit the nicotine before I can get close to Jesus through His Word. Much love to y’all. Please keep me in your prayers :)
Maybe if you shift your perspective. The reason people struggle with studing the word because spiritually it is your offensive weapon against the attacks of the enemy (Jesus used the word when he was tempted). So maybe if you pushed to start studying the word, go through the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) and look at Jesus’s life, look at how he acted with people and responded to situations and allow the Holy Spirit to help you emulate Him. As you’re growing and getting spiritually strengthened you will be stronger again temptation. Also their could be a deep root to your addiction. So ask the Lord like David. “search my heart oh God” so that He can reveal to you something that may be totally unrelated that you have to deal with! Keep pushing! And yes salvation is by grace through faith!!!! Be assured!
Prayers your way young man. Hang in there!
JJ I NEED HELP,I pray and pray but I keep using. I know it's a choice. I admit to God that I must love dope more and what I need from him is to love him more than the dope. Do you have an email? I need a mentor so bad. I'm so afraid of going to hell because of this bondage I keep myself in. I don't know how to change my mindset or allow him to change me. If I died today would I go to hell if I'm still using?
@NotTheSameJJ on IG. DM ME
THANK YOU needed to hear that. am struggling right now ut know God wll deliver me.

You blessed me as you told your Testimony
Amen!!
There are two billion addicts in the world. Less than 1% find recovery. Your message rocks!
This makes me hopeless.
Thank you for sharing this 🙏🏾 I am sure it will help some many others
I was addicted to pills 💊, I’m currently on kratom,and am trying hard to while quit weaning my self off.I started praying, reading my Bible and going to church. I know God has his hand in this and is wooing me to him,but when I go to church I feel horrible. I can barely worship because I feel so guilty. I remember how beautiful my relationship was with God and I know as soon as I quit kratom I’ll have that back. Please pray for me
My wife and I just prayed for your deliverance. Don’t listen to the lies of the enemy..there’s no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus! He wants to condemn you as soon as you set foot in a church because he knows how powerful it is when 2 or 3 are gathered. Keep pushing keep pressing.. dm me on IG @notthesamejj
@@notthesamejj4576 thanks my brother for your prayers and for exposing the enemy!im still pressing bro and every day I’m feeling a little lighter and a little closer to God . He keeps giving me the strength to surrender more .thanks bro 🤜🏽
