Is almost 4 am, woke up an hour ago, sad and anxious, this video came up on my feed out of nowhere. I have been struggling with alcohol si bad that one of the times I quit cold turkey I severe epileptic attack, by the grace of God I didn't die. I contiues to drink and I'm terrified it will come again. I have been praying to the Lord and Jesus name to rip apart these chains of alcoholism and to save my life and to forgive me and to help me forgive myself for betraying myself and not having respect the promises I made to him and myself. I'm experiencing the most crushing sadness and despair, depression, anxiety and fear. I plan to not drink today and never touch that poison ever again. Please Jesus, save me! I want to live again 😥💔 please pray for me. I feel trapped and want to be set free to give the good in me to others. Thank you for this video. God bless you.
In the name of Jesus Samantha may you be free and no demon possess you or have authority over you ever again. Christ please banish all evil and restore this woman and set her free from sin and demonic possession in Jesus name. Amen
I’m sobbing!! Wow this is my life right now! I’m ready! I love Jesus and want to be sober and not live in sin anymore alcohol has destroyed sooo many things in my life and family I’m just ready to be free this testimony is me I pray my outcome will look like yours! In Jesus name
Be free in Jesus name! He has done it all, be willing to submit your life to His Word and His truth and walk 🙏🏼❤️ praying for you! You can and will do this by the power of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit brought me to this video today, I’m struggling with alcohol myself (13 years exactly) thank you for your testimony. That was very brave of you. I have given my life to the Lord but haven’t given up alcohol. I needed to hear your message today. Thank you brother in Christ. I pray you continue to grow in the love of God.
Yes May the Lord continue to prune and work in your heart that you will and are free from this evil bondage! Jesus is a chain breaker, walk with him to freedom!
You just told my story almost exactly word for word. Only one difference in the 2 of us: I'm still drinking like a fish. I don't experience anything but guilt when i drink now. It's not even remotely close to being enjoyable. Every morning i wake up experiencing the most overwhelming anxiety imaginable until have a drink. I find myself creating excuses by any means necessary to ensure I can get alcohol in me. I want God in my life so bad, i want to embrace him and his unconditional love. I want this addiction out of my life more than anything. I feel the void you speak of. I feel it on a level that I absolutely cannot explain. I know the word you say are true, i know in my heart they are true as the sea is blue. I want to be where you are. I want so badly to get out of this rut. Im sinking. Im sinking so fast and something has got to give. The most terrifying thing about my entire situation is that time and time again I realize that ultimately i dont want sobriety bad enough. I realize that a person cannot be helped if they don't wanna help themselves and it's moments like I'm experiencing rn that I'm forced to wrestle with this reality. I'm hurting just like you were, please help me. Anyone. Please.
Jacob, Thank you for being honest and vulnerable. You are closer than you think with the amount of truth you can speak and be honest with yourself. Jesus says in Matthew 11:28-30 "come to me, all you who are weary and heavy burdened, and I will give you rest."
Have you considered AA or NA? They saved my life. Been sober and drug free for twenty- two years. Jesus is my higher power. I needed structure and the help of a group. Also, go to rehab. Just go to a meeting. It isn't a big deal to do that
I very proud to announce that I am 18 months sober today. I never did any meetings or rehab but I had a daughter and it changed me in ways I could never articulate through words. I thank you both for you kind words and encouragement. It really does mean more than you'll ever know. God bless you both.
@Jacob Daniel I drank from 16-59 yrs old. Alcohol was what gave me the most and best feeling in the world. I prayed for years and years for God to help me but I was not willing or ready to give it up until 59yrs old. The night I gave it all to God and begged Him to take it from me. I prayed and cried for hours, my life was a waste and full of guilt and sin. That next morning it was gone, He had taken it from me along with cigarettes. I only had 2 urges for alcohol after that and those I prayed and the urge went away. That has been 5 yrs ago, looking back I wish it had happened sooner, I'd have less guilt and there is always consequences when you let alcohol lead your life. God would have helped me sooner but I was not ready, or my life wasn't bad enough.If you aren't willing to give it up God cannot help you or cannot hear your prayers. He does still love you and you are saved or you wouldn't be feeling so much guilt over drinking. I hope by now you have let God help you. I go to church and read my bible every morning. God is really all that there is in this life that you can count on and time is short for Jesus is coming back very soon. Prayers for you!
@@jacobdaniel8239 praise God!! God will never leave us, He saw you in your despair and was waiting for you to come to Him. It sounds like the Lord brought your daughter into your life to give you a new sense of purpose. I am so glad to hear you no longer a slave to that sin. May God’s glory continue to shine upon you and your family’s life ❤
I’m 16 and I’m an ex opiate addict, currently 24 days clean (2nd time of getting clean) and through most of the withdrawals but I can’t stop drinking. It’s become more of a routine for me now, not drinking depending on my emotional state. I found god at 14 when I first got clean from opiates but I feel like I’ve lost him all over again when I relapsed early September.I don’t know who I am anymore, all my morals and values are essentially void and I feel like a hypocrite trying to preach the gospel or talk about god. I miss god so much.
Hello friend. May the Lord Jesus rescue you, your heart, and your addiction from drugs and alcohol. Jesus is all sufficient and I pray you would continue to seek after him. The Bible says you will seek me and you will find me, when you seek me with All of your heart. He’s there, do not feel ashamed or guilty for we are all sinners and broken no matter the degree. I am a hypocrite myself daily. Jesus paid it all.
Thank you for sharing your testimony! It’s helped me a lot. As a Christian in recovery I’ve had a hard time going back to AA because I never liked identifying myself as an alcoholic even though I know I’m powerless over it and know I can’t have any sip or anything of any substance. But my identity isn’t in that…I loved how you said our identity is in Jesus and being set free by Him! I do need sober support. Maybe I can find another Christian in recovery to go through the steps with but I also see God starting a recovery support group in my home church. Ive struggled with the shame of being a Christian and feeling so far from God the times I relapsed. I got a spark of hope listening to your testimony and feeling God working through me to maybe one day be part of the recovery group in church with the roots being in Jesus.
@viennabeautyfromashes may the Lord bless you and keep you. May He shine His face upon you and give you His peace. I pray He uses you to begin a group at your church and to help the weary and broken who need the love of Jesus and to know they are free indeed in Him. As you are now. Do not listen to satan who comes and accuses, deceives, and tempts us. There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus and neither heighth nor depth, nor anything else in all creation can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Start the journey and they also have many 12 step Christian books that are helpful.
Amen your battle belonged to the Lord, and he conquered it for you. I my recovery alcoholic. I was drunk for 15 years of my life and relapsed to the point where I can’t even count had a liver fail 24 hours to live and God healed me and I still went back to drinking so I know your struggles, but I also know that the Lord is good and his mercy are never ending and he saved me and he can save anybody that’s watching this video if you just trust in the Lord, I’m not big fan of AA because they ask you to identify yourself as an alcoholic but I believe that the Bible says I made perfect in the image of God and he does not see you as an alcoholic. He sees you perfect his eyes and he so let go and give it to Godand he will do miracles. I’m very proud of you young man and you have a testimony that can impact the lives of others so keep sharing it and God bless you. May he keep you may his face shine upon you all the days of your life.
Keep listening to him. He is awesome love his sermons or homilies and continue to know that Jesus only can change you and loves you completely. Surrender to His word and truth.
Stay strong bro, man I thought you were gonna cry when I was listening but not watching... and then you did it. I feel ya brother. Shalom. The courage to post this, and to cry publicly is only through Jesus' strength!
As the man (Gen 1:26-28) KJV, a husband (Gen 2:21-25) and a father (Gen 3:16), the minister of God (Rom 13), teacher (Eph 4) and one of the survivors who was bullied in school, I am very pleased to read this.
Whoa brother Jordan, Praise Jesus. What a powerful testimony you have...I'm grateful to God that He led me to hear your story. -ive been sober for 7 yrs now, and while I am very grateful to AA and Alanon for the 12 steps and the sponsors and members who've helped me, I also now focus entirely building my personal relationship with Jesus, Holy Spirit and our Abba Father. God used 12 steps of AA/AlAnon to make me realize that only He could heal and satisfy. So, once I got all of the junk outta the way (it took working the steps 3 times over 6 yrs for me) Jesus is my Lord, Savior and my focus ~ He's all that I need. God bless you bro.
may god bless you and keep you may you be free and saved in jesus may he deliver you from demonic spirits and addictions and sin and may he bless you in jesus name amen
This video is inspiring. Admitting immaturity is remarkable. Commenting during the 13 min mark…. Very similar to my situation. Selfishness, immaturity, lack of self worth, and best of all, faith in Jesus Christ.
Thank You for your encouraging Testimony! John 14:6-"Jesus(Yeshua) said:"I AM the WAY, the TRUTH & the LIFE no one comes to the Father(GOD) except through ME!?
Thank you very much for sharing your testimony! I can relate. I was living that double life being a Christian and drinking almost everyday. God delivered me yesterday from having the desire to drink!!!
I tried AA 4 times with a “god of my own understanding”. And failed every time. I thirsted for alcohol during each sobriety. But when I prayed and submitted to Lord Jesus Christ, I was cured of my alcoholism and drug addiction. Through His power, I go weeks, sometimes months without thinking about alcohol (unless someone brings it up). That was 2 years ago and the blessings and peace just get greater and greater. Thank you Jesus for my new life in You
Thank you for posting your personal video, I cried with you and I am praying that Jesus will help my son of drinking and smoking pot. I am hoping he will turn to Jesus after watching your video, as I have asked him many times. This will surly help others and I am praying that God will continue to bless you in Jesus Might Name. Love you.
@mistyhall8088 thank you Misty. Continue to pray, love, and show your son the love of God. The Holy Spirit of God in the right time and in his time I pray will set your son free. Trust in Jesus and only him. Walk the walk and do not focus on what you see or his behavior at the moment but in the all powerful loving God. May you Lord have mercy on this woman’s son as you have had mercy on us. Please reveal to him the truth of Jesus Christ and the only way to be saved. Amen
The interesting thing that just kind of hit me as I read into people’s accounts… is kind of logical but not obvious: most people that are alcoholics HATE ALCOHOL/DRINKING! On the surface the outsider must presume they really really like drinking- so much so that they put it above all else in their life and they do it every day. Cause why else would you do that, right? But the true alcoholic hates it because they have reached the point where they have seen and felt the terrible damage that chronic drinking does to one’s life. It affects all aspects- relationships, health, career, finances, emotions, spirituality… and sometimes even random innocent people. It’s a heavy hitter when you get in far enough. It will take it all. Everything that’s worth anything to you will eventually go. So it’s no wonder they hate it. What people don’t get about drugs and alcohol is it always starts out fun… it starts out making you feel awesome. It starts out where you can control it. It starts out “helping you”… and then it turns on you. It stops making you feel good. It starts making you feel bad. It stops being fun. It stops helping you and it starts hurting you. And by the time you realize your best friend is actually your worst enemy, it’s already too late because even though you can name 100 reasons why you hate it and you can’t name 1 thing you like about it- you can’t stop. And that doesn’t make any sense to a non addict. Why would you keep doing something that makes you feel bad and gives you nothing but negative consequences and hurts you? And that’s the really crazy part. Even the addict can’t tell you why. They can only tell you that they only do feel like a normal person. You know- they do the drugs and drink because they want desperately to feel like how they did before they became an addict. That’s the really screwed up part. Your prayer is to be able to feel like you already felt prior to trying to feel better and better. Turns out “normal” is actually not too damn bad. And this is exactly why God told Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit. Because anyone that has gotten into addiction will tell you this, guaranteed: I wish I had never known what the euphoria of drugs/alcohol felt like- because once you realize how much better chemicals can make you feel than your natural state- nothing natural will ever satisfy you anymore. You’ll always compare how you feel now to how you felt then. For the rest of your life. You will chase that dragon for the rest of your life. And when you go sober, suddenly what was once “feeling really happy!” has been downgraded to “yeah I’m in a decent mood”. Turns out God is pretty smart. He knew that sometimes it’s better not to know. But we insisted- and here we are. And it’s our fault for not listening to God. Thankfully He’s loving and merciful and even though we really screw up all the time, He knows that’s bound to happen and He’s thrown us a rope- the best rope in the universe and His name is Jesus. God is good. He knows that for many, one day it’s going to just click- and His children realize: “so THIS is why God told us not to sin! Because the end result of sin is destruction. He didn’t tell us not to sin because He’s mean and strict- He did it because He loves us and doesn’t want to see us hurt ourselves.” When you realize that- you view it all in a whole new light. And when you are saved, you not only realize sin leads to destruction, but you begin to hate sin- especially your own, because you know you’re disobeying and hurting the One that loves you more than anyone will EVER love you. There’s One that loves you unconditionally- that has given you life and all good and beautiful things within it- and an offer to be in His perfection for all eternity, wrapped in comfort, peace and bliss. So to have a being, whatever you want to label God- that loves you so intensely; that has given you all you have and love; that will never abandon you or give up on you; that is still good to you even when you treat Him like crap and disrespect Him… and all you have to do is ASK… man. Why would we NOT want to do everything within our power to please, glorify and appreciate One who looks at a turd and sees a golden nugget that’s valuable. We’re the turds is what I’m saying. Lol. I know I am. And you most likely are too. But He doesn’t fault you for it. He just wants you to love Him and at least let him see in your heart that you’re actually trying. That you don’t want to sin and you don’t love sin more than Him. Anyone that wants to change has hope. And anyone that asks for forgiveness and comes to Jesus and asks him to take the punishment that YOU deserve onto himself… so that you can be a free man/woman… will one day be healed and renewed to live with Him forever. Btw- He already got with the judge and talked Him down from your eternal suffering and damnation to Him being wrongly condemned, beaten, tortured, mocked and murdered. But you’ve still got to sign the paperwork and accept the deal. After all- you’re the reason you’ve ended up here in the first place. You can’t expect Him to do ALL the legwork!
Thank you for that explanation.I have tried to quit and turn back to Jesus severally and right now am back to Jesus and am praying for gods favour to be upon me not to turn back forever.Amen.
BEAUTIFUL testimony! I was weeping right along with you. Praise God for your deliverance and your love for God and desire to share what God did for you because He is no respecter of persons GOD BLESS!!.
Love your testimony brother ❤️ Your humbleness and vulnerability made me tear up. Thank You for sharing. My son is 30 yrs old and floating thru life drinking, sleeping on my couch , lonely and has anxiety. He does have a job for 6 years. Which was a God thing that he got this job. He believes in God but also curses Him when life throws him blows. He believes God craps on him " his words not mine) Please pray for him Aaron. 👑🙏
Lord Jesus, Thank you for Monica and her faithfulness and trust in you and you alone Jesus for hope, wisdom, and salvation. Lord we pray for her son Aaron. You see Him Father, and we pray that his eyes would be opened to see you. See you as a loving Father who never leaves and never forsakes us, but uses all things in life, good and bad to bring about the good for those who love the Lord and are called according to your purpose. May He see trials in life as your molding and shaping Him to grow his faith and become more like Jesus. May you rescue Him Lord in your great mercy. We love you. Amen!
I am in tears. This is so beautiful my brother. wow!! He truly does have a plan for us. You have no idea how similar our stories are and how much this video touched me. God bless.
Thank you brother. You probably don’t even look at these comments at this point but this has helped me. I’m struggling with this. I have tried so many times to stop and I keep falling back. I want to end my addictions after almost 25 years but I keep failing. I am growing to the point where I am starting to hate myself, mainly for disappointing the Lord over and over and over. I don’t want to do this, I HATE it. So I can’t even understand why I keep going back to it. It doesn’t even make me feel good anymore. It just makes me angry and out of control. I got in trouble with the law and went to jail and it was 100% a result of me being blackout drunk. Now I’ve ruined my reputation forever. I am going to start going to AA soon. It’s court ordered but I had been looking into it anyway. I just hadn’t been able to actually bring myself to go. Now I have to. And thank God for it. I think the Lord has allowed me to do this to myself because He’s given me 25 years of chances and now that I look back I know so many times I should have been caught DUI or gone to jail otherwise and I didn’t. I know God was watching over me. But His patience lasts only as long as it’s in my best interest. I’m thankful He let me face consequences of my sins finally. Better now than realize consequence after I’m dead. I still have a chance for redemption now. Now I just have to somehow find a way. Find the strength. Find the motivation when I can barely function these days. But I want to. Somehow I have to figure it out.
Hi man ❤️ I’ve been there. He loves you and sees you and knows you. There is no one too hard or too far gone for the Lord . His love endures forever and His grace covers all sin. Thank God for Jesus and his death on the cross paying for our sins, no matter how abundant or egregious. Just look up man, He is right there… AA was great for me helped save my life. But the true God Jesus Christ is who I, you, and we all need. Lack of power to stop… that is our problem, and the Spirit of God who raised him from the dead is more powerful than the drink and desire too. One day at a time… don’t look at it like a huge mountain, just don’t drink today :) God bless you. May the Lord be gracious and kind to you. Amen @poisonfortheweak
@@thekingsroad1612 Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me. I had to pause a couple of times because I didn’t want my girlfriend to see me welling up. That was very beautiful and means a lot. I stayed up nearly all night watching all of your videos and I paid the price for it the next day lol… but worth it. I have a serious question though and I wonder if you have any advice or insight to help me. I don’t drink to numb. I am the type that drinking gives me motivation and energy. Jordan Peterson said if you’re the type that alcohol stimulates you and you pound them quickly to keep that stimulant effect going, you better watch out because that’s the most dangerous kind of alcoholism. And that’s the problem- if I don’t drink, I feel totally dead inside. I don’t have any motivation at all, I don’t have any interest in anything, I can’t feel anything. Excitement, pleasure from hobbies or activities, interest at all. I will wake up on a beautiful day like today- sunny, perfect weather… I have a farm with animals and beautiful land that the Lord has so gracefully blessed me with- and I look out the window and I feel nothing. I want to WANT to do something. Anything. I want to feel like something might be fun or entertaining to do. But nothing does. If I don’t drink- I will literally get nothing done the entire weekend. But when I do, I get all kinds of stuff taken care of. And I feel that pressure. I have chores that need to be done. I have work to deal with. There’s no such thing as just letting yourself do nothing. I mean I guess there is but you understand. I constantly feel that I have so many things that I have to do and I can’t bring myself to do them without a few beers. Which turns into a case of beers. I get a 24 pack on Friday and tell myself it’s for the weekend. It’s ALWAYS gone by Saturday morning. Then I do the walk of shame into the store to buy another 24 pack at 9am so I can even function Saturday. And then I do it all through Saturday and night. And then of course I have to do it on Sunday to get out of bed. The screwed up part is I don’t even like it. I feel like I need it to just function as a normal person. So how do I get past this? It’s a horrible feeling when I’ve decided I’m not gonna get beer today and I just feel totally empty. Dead inside. I don’t care about anything. I don’t want to do anything. I can’t even watch TV shows and lay in bed because every single show seems so boring I can’t even watch. Sorry for being long winded. But I’m not sure how different my case is- that I don’t drink to numb, I don’t do it to be social, I just do it so I can feel anything at all. How do I get past that? It’s terrible to force myself to feel horrible knowing I’m just two beers away from being normal. I know it has to be done. You know how hard it is cause you’ve been there. How long does the “dead inside” feeling last? How long before I will be able to feel any interest, motivation or enjoyment out of anything in life? It terrifies me that it may be a really long time. I have made it maybe 2 months sober and that was after going to jail and thinking I was done for good at that point. Can’t believe I relapsed. You know the lies you tell yourself. Ah so I can just get only a six pack and just drink them really slowly. I may not even drink all 6. Next weekend it’s well I’m gonna get a 12, not cause I’m gonna drink 12 but what if I get a 6 pack and I want a 7th later. Then hey it’s cheaper to buy the 24 pack than to buy a 12 pack tonight and another tomorrow. Then the next day you have to go get another 24 because you drank every last one of them. I have to laugh and I’m sure you do too because it’s so foolish but it’s so true. We will tell ourselves whatever we want to hear and think of every reason to justify it. Man I’ve gotten so good at that. But I do hate drinking. It makes me quick to anger, it leads to sins I don’t do sober- like sex/looking at porn, taking other drugs, getting into a hateful mindset and just cursing and berating people under my breath in a rage (“I can’t stand being around you. I truly wish you would die, it would make my life so much happier, you’re just a POS that always has to get your way, f-k you, you and your spoiled brat kid”) Yikes. It’s bad stuff. It makes me constantly exhausted during the week and I have stomach problems. I’m always irritable and fast to rage during the week when I’m not drinking.
I just prayed for you. The same prayer I’ve prayed for myself…that The Lord would deliver you from your addiction. That Truth would fill your mind. That His Living Waters would drown out the enemy!! The only way to overcome is by putting your faith in Jesus. He is the deliverer. He is the overcomer. We are weak but He is strong. Let go of trying to do it yourself. Instead of trying to starve your addiction by your own will, get addicted to Jesus! Keep filling up on powerful testimonies like this. Talk to Him all day long even and especially when you catch yourself sinning. Let the truth of who He is and what He has done for you wash over you. He is so worthy of our praise! Ask Him every day to fill you with His Holy Spirit. Read His Word. Discover how great and mighty He is for yourself. Don’t lose faith! I am praying for you!
@poisonfortheweak I believe what the person who prayed for you wholeheartedly is the truth man. I know what you are saying, I did not want to or like to do anything unless alcohol was involved. The highs and lows of despair without and motivation with alcohol is really only a lie we tell ourself man. You do not need it to have feeling or joy, but it has been your source for so long, without it the days or times are going to seem different and you equate that difference with boredom and laziness. Just some practical things… go for a walk, journal to Jesus, workout, start a project, drink some seltzers lol. I know and believe that the only way and truth to freedom is crying out to God and walking towards Him above all else. Reading his word, praying, talking to those who know him and love him. Get involved in AA maybe as you are starting out. But I hear you and God hears you man 🙏🏼❤️ may you know today, you are never alone. Go to church this morning! God bless you.
To be honest man literally same I have a really bad relationship with all my family n friends n it brings me to drink I don’t even wanna drink some days I’m just so sad that that’s the only thing that will make me feel a little bit better, I struggle with the follow of Christ man I really try n try n I’m always falling down I just have this Deep down sadness that can’t be fixed I ask god to help me I ask Jesus to heal me n I still just feel sad man
@watson_20s831 drinking and satan are liars man. This feeling you’re feeling right now… it’s not forever and it’s not always and it’s not your fate. The Bible says seek me and you will find me, when you seek me with all your heart. May the Lord Jesus continue to drive you to your knees man and do not stop praying and seeking. God is no genie… He demands all of us and it is a hard decision to make, but there is freedom in Jesus and Jesus alone. You can do this, you are not alone.
Thank you Jordan for sharing your story. I am mother praying for her struggling son with a story similar to yours before you completely turned your life over to the Lord. In fact, what you say about your Mom is similar to my family story. Searching for answers for my son and how I can fully trust the Lord myself is how I ended up finding your video here. You have a powerful testimony and pray that you are continuing to thrive with the guidance of the Holy Spirit in your life. May God bless you Jordan and your family. We are all in this journey with Christ together. The internet can be a curse and a blessing eh? ( can you tell I’m from Canada haha)
Thank you so much Mare. May your Son be free by the spirit of the living God. I am standing with you in prayer and petitioning our Father for His mercy for you as his daughter for your son to be born again and set free. Lord renew her strength and give her fresh faith that You are greater than what she is seeing right now in her son’s actions and life. You are God! You are the mover of mountains and make the dry bones to live. Her son is not out of your sight and we ask your mercy over him that you may draw him with cords of love and do whatever it is that needs to be done in his life that he will come to truly know You the living Lord Jesus. Amen @tranquilitymare
This made me cry when you talked about Jesus. He is so amazing ! He freed me from so much junk . You know He is real when you overcome and giant . Love Dr. Stanley too! Thank you.
Great testimony brother i too have a simular story but my drinking lasted 30 years i went to AA as well I made some great freinds it helped for the short term I find the program in the end doesnt point you towards Christ it does have biblically based principles but it is ecumenical at its core
Great testimony, that's what it's all about is paying it forward and encouraging those that are still cought up in it and those people that are struggling to stay sober and clean.
my dad has always had a drinking problem and i’ve always thought of it as just a problem .today we got into an argument he’s drunk and yelling telling us that he drinks because we don’t love him i thought in my head how can someone be so selfish? how can he say that? what about us ? what about everything he’s put us through ? he wakes up tomorrow and doesn’t remember anything but us ? we have to keep it inside play it like it never happened . i think today it finally clicked , my dads an addict . it sounds dumb but i used to think addiction was just popping pills shooting a needle in you catching a high . i knew my dad had a drinking problem but it became just that a problem. i’m watching all these videos about dealing with addicts and family’s who grew up with a family member who had an addiction and i’ve realized how much i have gone through but to me is was just the norm . he can stop . he just likes to drink. today i’m realizing my dad has a disease. i think of my little sister and i ask her how do you feel about daddy drinking and she says she doesn’t care . my heart breaks i was too in her shoes i didn’t understand but i viewed it as something normal . i just pray to God that one day he’ll change one day he’ll open his eyes and realize not only that he has an addiction but that God loves him . even though there’s times where i think that will never happen i know we have a great God that nothing is impossible for but until then all i can do is have faith . i love you dad .
Nothing is too difficult for the Lord. @jaz2956 I am standing with you in prayer to our Lord Jesus to open your fathers eyes to the truth and that you and your sister/family know the true Father God is there and close and will never leave or forsake us. Lord, please here her cry and prayer and have mercy on her family and her father. Rescue him from this addiction and selfish way of living that He may parent, live, and love to your glory. Amen
Yes sir Dave. All for not if there is no gospel or saving knowledge or Jesus Christ. Getting sober is cool but you know what’s really cool, eternal life with Jesus. Haha thankful you’re a member of His family 🙏🏼❤️
Beautiful testimony, my brother in Christ 💚. You have encouraged me for my 18 year old son, Colton. Very similar story as yours - seeing how God brought you through it, all the way to the other side, with Him, gives me hope for my own son. Thank you for sharing. Hope you’re still growing closer to Christ, daily. Love & blessings to you and your family 🙏
Just wow! I won't write my backstory here, but I would have a lot of talking with you about these topics. God bless you brother. Your story was so real, from your heart, that it made me feel the Holy Spirit with you through this video. I needed your testimony right in this moment, and I thank you and I thank God for it. Amen!
Still stuck in drinking only He can save me but I've fallen short single no kids barely a relationship with my family and parents 😞 I'm 27 God bless you brother 14 fold idk many believers that'll help me in my addiction
You will seek me and you will find me, when you seek me with all of your heart ❤️ Jeremiah 13:29 God bless you brother. Hang on, keep going, God is loving and mighty in power 🙏🏼 my email is jord1060@gmail.com
I was just like you last year. I almost died my pancreas was about to burst. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks ( 1 week in ICU). From alcohol withdrawals I almost had a stroke/heart attack. I cried out to Jesus for help and he aligned everything in my path to help me. Im 7 months sober. And I just turned 29. The blood of Jesus is powerful pray to him and also don't be afraid to reach out to a hospital, rehab ect. For help. You have to want to get sober too. God bless you.
Congratulations Sir, 🎉👏 I pray your story bless those most in need of hearing it . Love to y'all (you and your lovely wife) &To the comment section family ❤️
Hey I'm currently dealing with alcoholism I drink about a pint a day sometimes more and I'm 24 but I'm tried I know I need God I use to use hard drugs but I stopped doing them but I can't stop alcohol
Yes you can 🙏🏼 all things are possible with God! Keep going don't give up and take it one day at a time. Ask God to protect you in the morning and thank Him at the end of the day. I would encourage AA as well. May Jesus rescue you. @AS-GO
it always starts as you being loved, laughed with and having good friends while drinking. then towards the end, you see the demons come out. I know because I drank for 17 years. Towards the last days of my Drinking, I would notice people being extremely hateful to me, bitter or Denying to serve me etc. I notice those same friends look at me like they don't want me around. I've seen demons. once I quit drinking, good people started coming into my life.
Amen. I praise God that He delivered you from this vice. I love what you said about your value before God isn't in you being sober but in what Jesus did for you on the cross. That's wisdom my friend. Thanks for this message! I'm subscribed :) I hope the musical devotionals on my channel can also be a blessing to you! God bless you.
man thank you for sharing very powerful message. i’m asking got to deliver me from methadone i’m in total bondage with this stuff i don’t want it i don’t need it but i can’t stop 1 because i’m addicted to it & 2 i can’t quit because coming off of it is hell on earth. but i know Jesus into fixing the broken that’s what Jesus does he mends brokenness. turn to Jesus all you have to do is ask him to come into your life and you will start to see a change. thank you i’m so glad to hear that you’re free my brother.
May the Lord bless you Kevin and keep you. May He make his face to shine upon you. The Spirit of God is all powerful and through him we can do all things. You will be set free in the name of Jesus. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you man. Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened. Lord please bless Kevin. Set him free Jesus. Amen
@@thekingsroad1612 I used to also drink a lot and smoke. I managed to get out of that. I realised that it was not the way to live a life. I Have always believed in God Jesus. I am glad to have watched this upload. Peace from the UK
😇 Soli Deo Gloria! Keep reading the word bro not for info but transformation and the renewing of your mind. God is Holy👍 I realize my condition of a sinner in need of a Savior over 10 years ago… He opened my eyes❤ 2 John 1:6
*GLORY to LORD JESUS* ! *HIS NAME above all names and* - *Neither is there salvation in any other* : *for there is none other name under heaven given among men* , *whereby we must be saved* Acts 4:12
I appreciate your testimony. I'm a Christian who has struggled with alcohol and marijuana dependency, but I've had a hard time buying into AA because the end goal is sobriety rather than Christ. I also know that one of the founders, Bill Wilson, participated in new age practices like seances and used automatic writing to channel AA literature. I like the accountability aspect, but don't like how the program presents itself as savior.
@robinmaly8110 I agree 100%! AA was a tool and vehicle God used for me and uses for many to begin this journey of freedom from alcohol and drugs. I do not participate in the program anymore as I will not call myself an alcoholic every day or at every meeting because today I am free! Free because of Jesus. The steps and program are beautiful, but if you look closely they are the teachings of the Lord Jesus, just written down differently. I also would not sponsor anyone who did not believe in the one true God, that along with some other reasons is why I left the program. I however will always be thankful that God used it as a part of my journey.
*For God so loved the world* , *that he gave his only begotten Son* , *that whosoever believeth in him should not perish* , *but have everlasting life* John 3:16
There is freedom in the Lord Jesus Billy. Permanent freedom. I would encourage you to get plugged in with AA there is an app called meeting guide that is helpful. But Jesus is the way the truth and the life. Praying for you man
I hope you’re truly saved. I can’t watch your entire testimony bc AA isn’t a Christian program and Jesus Calling is known to be a heretical narrative. I know that sometimes the Lord will use things to bring us to Him, but we need to use caution and discernment when our testimony involves these types of things that can deceive new Christians.
@kara0300 thank you Kara. I appreciate your insight and knowledge of the truth as I am in agreement with what you said. Towards the end of my testimony I mention how I do not attend AA anymore as I am free because of what Jesus did for me on the cross and not how many days I am sober. I know AA well and know it is not the answer to eternal life or the truth. I am trying to be a bridge for those in the program to the love of Jesus. I have also come to know that Jesus calling is not based solely of the truth of Gods word. This was simply the path I was lead on by the Lord and would not endorse this today for anyone to read. Thanks for stopping by and may God be true in all things and bear witness to His truth always.
I’m here man. I actually have an update video coming out here in a couple days. I have had a lot going on family, work and ministry so I stepped away from this for a minute. But I am attempting to do videos again and be more consistent.
I would suggest your religpus controlling parents were your biggest problem and you were self medicating to desk with it ? Being indicturnated at a young age is no joke..
@baldersn4474 ultimately… I am responsible for my life and decisions. Yes they influenced me and helped me and gave me a life I have really nothing to complain about honestly. I drank because I liked it and I drank because I wanted to numb myself and not face reality of my broken relationships, sin, and evil I was continually doing. My parents weren’t perfect as I now am a parent and not perfect. Ultimately you reap what you sow.
@@thekingsroad1612amen!!! And you, too brother! I’m praying for my friend Jordan who needs healing from alcoholism…and your channel is so helpful and powerful. Will share it with him when he is ready to receive wisdom.❤❤❤
