A had an ex who died of an overdose, he also had a lot of psychiatric issues. Two months ago, January 17 2024, I had a dream that my ex was happy smiling and hugging someone who I couldn’t identify. The next morning, January 18, my ex’s cousin texted me that my ex’s mother died! She was a very religious woman who mourned her son inconsolably. I know, know, I witnessed son and mother’s reunion and it was happy! I have no doubt of God’s mercy. I have no doubt their souls are now together, in Heaven. God gave us the spirit of FAITH not FEAR. God Bless you.
Thanks for sharing! Very beautiful testimony!-NL Team
My daughter also passed away in this manner right before Christmas in 2014, she had even left presents for us under the tree, making Christmas day absolutely brutal for us. I struggle still, over 7 years later and this helped me tremendously. We just celebrated her earthly birthday yesterday, we still buy a birthday cake and have her name put on it, and we all think of her and wish her happy birthday. To realize that God loves her more than we ever could makes it more bearable. I know she is not in pain any longer, I know she is in Heaven, and I know I WILL see her again someday.
Thank you for sharing. We are so sorry to hear that your daughter passed away in a similar manner. That must have been very hard for you. We will be praying for you and your family. If there's anything we can help you with, please call us at 800-NEW-LIFE.-NL Team
I’m so sorry to hear that I have had similar thing happen to me. So sorry that happend to you. Interesting she left presents still? Awsome I wish I had a present from mine but it wouldn’t make it any easier.
Amen may god give you strength
Our salvation is not contingent on our avoidance of sin or number of sin... it is our faith in what Jesus did for us. He paid it all ! we have nothing to offer. ❤️
Amen! Thanks for sharing! Please like and subscribe!-NL Team
@@mariamorrison2474I hope u understand this passage and who it’s addressing bc the fact u posted it here makes me think u do not.
Yes should be the straight answer. Your daughter is in heaven. The you can urge.? She’s seeking reassurance.she’s not concerned about how well you answer the question , but how much peace of mind she find out of this. Addicts don’t want sympathy, we want a proper relationship and direction to Jesus Christ.
You know I struggle with addiction. And every day I say a prayer for God to help me. But night comes and God goes out the window. We ate not locked onto salvation. It's called living in sin. I need to stop. Addiction is living in sin.
I hope I'm wrong
Thank you for helping answer her question. I promise you her heart is resting now with the words you said to her/ us
Thank you for this answer. I have struggled with a painkiller addiction for almost 20 years. I took the past several months off work, in an effort to kick my addiction. Unfortunately, I have failed, and I will be seeing a doctor to go on suboxone for the rest of my life. I'm very worried that this decision will disqualify my acceptance to heaven. This video gives me hope.
We'll be praying for you. We are glad to hear you are being helped by a doctor. We have some treatment facilities that we can refer you to if you would be interested. You can call us at 800-639-5433.

Condolences.
I’ve been addicted to meth for a little over 10 years and I pray to god to help me get over it almost every day. I tried everything to get off from rehab, treatment, church, etc. I don’t feel normal when I’m off it because I’ve been on it for so long. I used to be your typical meth head out in the streets stealing, selling, and using. Ive gotten myself in a lot of trouble because of it and now I work and use only when I get home and never leave my house because I’ve gotten comfortable just staying home. Anyways, I’m not a bad person and I don’t hurt anyone but myself and even then I hate it and wish it was easy to get clean but I just can’t. Can i please get prayers in hopes that God can provide a miracle for me.
It's heartbreaking to hear you've been addicted to meth for over 10 years. Please know we are praying for you and are here for you. Give us a call at 800-639-5433. We can connect you with a faith-based treatment center, counselor, and a Life Recovery Group. Please give us a call today.-NL Team
I pray you can get off meth in Jesus name. It is very difficult to quit either wise as you know. I lost my son 2 years ago on the 24th of March because of Meth he tried to talk to a pastor for a couple of weeks I guess he knew the drug was overpowering and overwhelming him he probably knew he was dying in a way that can't be described. Than he came home at 2 in the morning acting uncontrollable has usual then he died.😢. The reason I'm saying all this is so you beat this miserable addiction. Pray constantly, ask your parents for help and your christian friends. God be with you to defeat the enemies of your life and bring you back to Jesus son of the most high.
For everyone else please pray for me too in my grieving 😢 it never goes away. I thought it would get better but it doesn't and the 24th is near. Please the grieve is very heavy I'm very tired 😩.
I can relate clearly with this discussion. I typed this not knowing what will show up but you did. The only thing I can share as someone who has struggled with alcohol for many years and still is, listen to the word of God even while still doing it. Allow the process to draw you closer to God. He is closer when you are most in distress and most of his Greatest mercy shows up. I truly believe in the power of the cross and not our own deeds as long as we diligently seek him. What a faithful Heavenly Father we love and worship. Yes I look forward to spending eternity with my lord whose love never fails. Praise God and pray for the gift of discernment 🙏❤️
Glad that you typed this in and our video showed up! Yes, someone who struggles with addiction can still go to heaven if they have put their faith in Christ. It is, after all, Christ’s sacrifice on the cross which pays the ultimate price for our sins. Please subscribe to our UA-cam channel to be notified of new videos.

Lost daughter 2023, November. I just looked this up my daughter suffered a family sin that cycled through 4 generations. I feel my sins have begot my children's life one to addiction like myself. I have gotten sober 4 years before she passed and i found Jesus after I heard that our children suffer from our sins. I prayed but, addition took her many places that caused big pain and lost children suffered physical and psychological abuse worse than all I went through. I know she loved Jesus we all have a close line of prayer and believe without church but willing to hear the word anytime. I too wonder.

The eclipse will only go through 2 cities called Nineveh. I had to fact check this because it scared me.
My Son passed away, he lived with me due to going through a horrible divorce. He overdosed unknowingly by being poisoned with drugs laced with fentanyl. He believed in the Lord Jesus and admitted to his beliefs. I still have the thoughts that he isnt in Heaven but the LORD JESUS cannot lie, if you believe, you are saved by the gift of Salvation from Jesus sacrificing Himself for our forgiveness of sins
It is heartbreaking to hear that your son overdosed on drugs laced with fentanyl. Please know we're praying for you and are here for you. If there's anything we can help you with, give us a call at 800-639-5433. You are not alone. We do believe that anyone who has accepted God's gift of salvation, even if they end up dying from drugs, is with the Lord in heaven.

Yes they most definitely do. God created you child and she has gone back home. There is no hum and Ha about it.
That helps me as my partner who I love passed 19 months ago I miss him so much.
It’s so hard without him.
I love how u put that.
They probably but people who commits suicide don’t
We have all sinned in many ways. For some reason because of the society we live in, we have put labels, levels and degrees of are the worst sinners not worthy the kingdom of heaven. Another whole deception of the enemy to create fear, doubts and doom emotions to a child of the living true God. My fellow citizens of heaven, Just as a parent loves their children unconditionally, why would you even dare to believe that Gods love is strong enough to make you shatten compared to the earthly love. Be aware of the lies of the enemy. God is in love with sinners but not the sin. Rise and shine to our hope that is in Jesus Christ our lord and saviour. Refuse to let fear deter you from the love of God. See you in heaven very soo
I’m struggling with paracetamol addiction for 7 and a half years. I’m still struggling to overcome this and other addictions. I have never received any help for my addictions and my mental health.
I’m still struggling. I’ve received some medical treatment but not alot and I’m finding it very difficult to have a relationship with the lord and I am a believer myself well
I try but my suitsation and my circumstances that are surrounding me right now is unbareable and it wants to make me take another overdose that be twice in a day. I mean, I want peace and where I don’t have to keep struggling anymore. The enemy has been attacking every area of my life financially, etc, sleep, mind, health, friendships and relationships etc. it seems like I can’t get away from it. I haven’t been able to read the word for a few weeks now and I feel like I can’t get back on track with everything that’s going on and that’s my answer too is that what happens If intentionally pass on or accidentally pass on would I go home to Jesus? If I took my last breath. I’ve had a very hard life and it always seems so difficult for me to overcome addiction. Like what Kathy Said, people around me have tried the tough love on me too but it doesn’t help.
We are so sad to hear of your addiction to paracetamol. Please know that we are praying for you and are here for you. Give us a call at 800-639-5433.

I accept your views
Glad to hear that!-NL Team
Hey guys, my sister died 2 days ago 💔(we’re not sure but we think it was an overdose ) but I just want to know if she is with Jesus now or in an eternity of torment? I always spoke to her about Jesus an she says she does believe in Him but she never followed Him like I do, she was meant to be coming to church with us this weekend, so I’m just wondering if that mustard seed size faith has saved her or maybe God knew she believed an also knew she would never get clean so took her early to save her from a life of pain? I think I just want to know she is in the arms of our king and saviour or in the pit? Thank you for your time, may God be with yous always in Jesus name 🙏

Read my comment hope it helps....be strong
@@vincentdimenna thank you
@NewLifeLive I don't want 2 quit drugs because I wanted to die b4 the drugs. I'm literally afraid to live. Without. At least I can get high and forget about the suck of this life.
I'm literally aworthless Christian. I can not understand the use I will have for his will. I pray and pray he takes me home.
I feel like a child locked out of the house in the cold and he won't let me back in
How are you?@@philipbrian1
Cathy I beg you to listen to billy Graham last message to America and the world. My name is Maria. I just want you to have peace of mind. I wake up seeking it. My mother died when I was 18 years old. My father 7 years later. My grandma, brother, two sisters
Cathy, I feel your pain caused by addiction. I haven’t given up completely to it, 😘because I’m fighting the battle. I don’t mean your love never fought harder.she gave all she had to the end. I’m opposite of you my darling. My daughter is always worried about me dying.i try to do all the bible says. But I’m seeking. It can be the way around. A mum dying of alcoholism,or a daughter dying of alcoholism. The pain is the same. Remember I lost my mum at 18years old.
We are so sorry to hear that your mother died when you were 18 years old and that your father died 7 years later. If there's anything we can help you with, please know we are here for you. We are taking calls today and tomorrow at noon CST for our call in radio program. The number to call is 800-229-3000. We'll be praying for you.-NL Team

Sorry to hear that your nephew struggled with addiction and that you lost him. Please know we'll be praying for your family. If we can help you or any of your loved ones, please call us at 800-639-5433.-NL Team
Cathy, I won’t be surprised you feel exhausted just seeking for something that will make sense or give you peace of mind. I made a comment about this chapter because I’m an alcoholic who is seeking just like you, but I’m a living alcoholic who wish to help the most vulnerable way I know. If you wish, liste to billy Graham last message to America and the world. Please stand by the bible of Jesus Christ because everyone else, with no judgment is selling their opinions based on????? . Pray for God’s wisdom and soon you won’t depend on internet.
