    I had a supernatural experience where God just shut it off, instantly, like a light switch. Years after begging for deliverance and then turning around and continuing to do what i'm so desperate to be delivered from. I was as they say riding the fence. And he spat me out. My life unraveled like a snag on a sweater. But it was the best thing that ever happened to me. It humbled me in a way that only God can do. I have very little to no pride anymore. I thank God for every thing in my life and praise him even if it's just getting thru the day. Because i know i can't even do that without him. I will never feel worthy for his grace and mercy but i'm so very grateful he loves me.

      @@whome4427 , NO, NOT y-o-u! Epistemology. GOD Is and HE has Said so; period. What is "Christian progressive question"? We have The Faith Once and For All Delivered to †he Saints. What you are saying seems seriously flawed. How do you know GOD and how do you become right with GOD? How is one Saved?

    I am right now going through the detox process to get myself clean and live a better life. I almost want to give up because that would be the easy way out. But you have given me the strength to keep on going and get the life I deserve. Because I deserve to live a fentanyl free life. I want it so bad that now after listening to you and having God I'm my corner I know I can do it. It is so hard but I know I can and will do it. People are doubting me but they will see that I can do it and maybe I will give someone else hope and the need to get clean. If I can do it I know anyone can do it. Thank you for this video. Thank you for reminding me that God loves me and is with me through all of this. He wouldn't give me more than I can handle. God does not look at me poorly for what I have been doing. He has loved me through all of it.

    Thank you thank you thank you for speaking about pp the twelve step etc subject. I just got my certification in Addiction Recovery. There are very few jobs here for this. My same opinion is going to be very difficult but I cannot accept once an addict always an addict. I recovered from opiate addiction but I am not not was I ever an addict. I am and was still a child of God. He never said my identity is addict. I can't work in this job bc I have to support and recommend the step programs. I shared about this same thing on a UA-cam video.
    Your message was very encouraging. I don't feel alone now in what you shared.
    I may not be accepted in the recovery programs circles. But the true and full gospel must continue to be shared. Paid or not.
    It's time for me to speak up for truth, not what others want me to say. It's not about me but sharing the gospel. Jesus.
    Thank you. Jesus has used your words
    Hi, my name is Sandi. I am not an addict.

      I'm walking into the same dilemma currently. I've been picked to run a recovery house for a friend's nonprofit. They want the men attending meetings and doing the 12 steps with a sponsor. I'm not sure right now where God is leading me, but I know that 12 step programs aren't the answer. I watch people relapse over and over again. The disease model is what the medical industry came up with years ago and utilizes to diagnose and medicate things outside of their particular field of study. It's not true or accurate. It's a lie, ultimately. Neurologist paint a very different about what's happening in the brain when people abuse drugs and alcohol than the cop out of just suffering from a disease which has no cure. Nonsense! No one was born to search out a bottle or bag of dope and abuse it. That's completely asinine. Anyway, I'm encouraged by what you've expressed here. Thanks for sharing it.

    Due to shame and fear and Hurt i went back to what I had left behind 7 and a half years before not because I wanted to but because I was punishing myself! I'm not trying to come back to Jesus! What I'm afraid of is that I will just end up with going church but not having a life or a career! Please pray that God will bless me and that i find victory in Jesus!

  • @rickiebean4915

    Great sermon Jeff and testimony. Listen to sermon like this gets me fired up for the lord! I believe people have heard this and turn to the lord for salvation. Just have to say yea that’s what, and why Jesus was sent to you and all of us to save us and give hope, peace, and joy. So we can overcome worshiping God’s, material idols.To understand that we are last and the one and only God is first. James 4:8 draw near to God and he will draw near to you. John 14:27

    And when I turned to God.and found a church confessed my addiction to my pastor the loved me did not judge me. I had no desire to be high while at church . my pastor wanted to have a meeting with me once a week for extra council about anything , bible study on Wednesday " church on Sunday. And i shed my desire to do drugs because it was what God added to my life not what I had to give up.

      How are you doing Ashley? I hope you are in a good church or listening to Pastor Jeff regularly. Also, make sure you are talking to God everyday! Sometimes he’s the only one available to talk to and he does that for a reason. He wants us to rely on HIM alone. I’m also talking to myself here. Sometimes I feel the same way, I just need to talk to someone and somehow things will be better but in reality only God can heal us. He does give us people and ways of healing on this earth but just pray about it and give it all to Jesus! You can make sure you are eating good nourishing food (God’s Pharmacy) and cleaning out your colon is very important!! Our colon is so long and things get stuck in there which causes problems if it doesn’t get digested and eliminated fairly quickly. You can do colonics, epsom salt baths, exercise. God gave us bodies that move so if you can, get outside and look at the beauty all around that He graciously gives us! I need to do this too! He says everywhere in his word, “look at Me, trust in Me, seek Me, and I will give you the desires of your heart!” 💗💗

    When people ask me how am I so sure that Jesus was resurrected, I simply say because He lives within me.
    Those can be empty words to a nonbeliever who just met me on the street or at work,,,
    But those who knew me before and after saw that I was decrepit, depraved, perverted, lustful, racist, arrogant, selfish, pitiful and evil man. The changing of my callous heart from rock to flesh is more of a miracle than the creation of the universe itself. Take that to the bank.

    IF stopping drinking alcohol and stopping drugs would save you, then Jesus died in vain. Galatians 2;21.
    Nothing we do or do not do can save us. Jesus paid it all and we paid 0. John 3:18. What happens to believers, saved sinners who live in sin? The wrath of God comes on them to chasten us. Colossians 3:5-6. Never loss of eternal life. First John 5:13. First John 2:2. Acts 16:31.
    Second Corinthians 9:13. Thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift. Eternal life. No one can earn it.
    Jeff, have you ever accepted the free gift of eternal life, or do you believe you are chosen by God to be saved but are not saved? God saves those who accept Jesus payment for all our sin. John 3:18. John 12:32. First Timothy 2:4.
