Overcoming Addiction // Let's Talk About It // Pastor Mike Breaux 

anyone listening in 2024?

I'm 3 years sober God loves us. All of us. Don't give up ❤

I'm in the middle of a hangover. I binged and need prayers too. I am turning it over to God and faith.

Jesus I'm broken and stuck in addiction I want to be well I'm powerless over my addiction please save me and give me the strength to over come and find you as my life and savior

I'm in the depth of drug addiction and need help I can't continue like this. I ask everyone to pray for me as I am so weak. Please

Prayers for me please with addiction

I have an addiction so please pray that I can overcome it

I just relapsed after being 150 days clean…. & I’m so pissed off and I can’t believe it. I was so happy for those 150 days. Now I’m just miserable and I feel like I’ve let GOD down. I just pray I can quit again. I don’t even enjoy getting high and I hate it so much and I just wish JESUS helps me again and I hope I didn’t disappoint him. I feel so bad but I also have realized who my true friends after this. Xoxo ✌️ GOD BLESS

Please pray for my father cause he is really drinking too much and he can't control himself soo everyone please pray for my father 🥺🙏🏻

He saved me our marriage our family restored everything the enemy took from us .. idc where you are today Jesus loves you and will take this from you his blood is enough ❤

I have struggled for so long. I need a miracle. I want to be free from this and be able to show others there is peace and hope.

Pray for me for addiction, sickness, loneliness, and domestic violence please. I'm young I'm 26, from Spain. I'm devastated for problems I feel like God has rejected me 4ever.

Prayers for my 2 sons Alcohol, herion , meth , pills anxiety, depression etc 🙏

I’m so blessed by this message of hope. This is what church should look like. So many family members of addicts have to hide in shame because of the stigma of their loved ones addiction. God bless 🙏

Lord, please forgive me and guide me through my trials and tribulations.

The night, August 19h that I watched this, I had a dream it was a dream about helping people in recovery… the next morning I went to church, and during worship I was healed of alchol. I haven’t had a drink in 10 weeks nor have I desired any, and when I think about it, I just say no real loud and that is powerful! Now I have a Bible study every week for addicts in my home. Praise God! Thank you for this video I think that God used it to miraculously deliver me from alcohol to help others 🤗😃 The same power, that Rose Jesus from the grave lives in us!!!!!

People pray for me and my addiction. I just got up for work this morning for work and cried to God. Told him that i needed his help with my opiate addiction. My addiction has gotten to the point where without opiate i have no energy to do my task at work. I try and try to stop but after a couple of days the physical withdrawal and sickness seems unbearable. Its hard to enter act with my kids and wife without being under the influence of the drug. I was on cocaine for years and the opiates helped me kick cocaine not knowing that i was trading one drug for a worser one. This video is the start of my sobriety. I know that with the help of God, I can do it. So today im admitting that i need help and really putting it in his hands.

Thank you so much. Im 29 years sober one day at a time Praise God. And I needed to hear this today. May Godbless you all. Much love from Ireland. .❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🇮🇪🇮🇪

Please pray that I am delivered from my addiction in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ...I have been fighting it & struggling with it for a long time & I don't want it anymore!!!

Forgive those that hurt you... 😮❤ This will set me free with the help of God

I’m currently in withdrawal from opiates. Was a heroin addict and went straight to suboxone and avoided a detox and after almost 10 years I’m quitting everything and this helped me have hope. I’m at the stage where the physical withdrawal is gone but my brain isn’t producing any serotonin/dopamine so I feel like a zombie with no emotions. ANd this sermon was food for my brain. Thank you

It’s so funny this video came out two years ago but spoke DIRECTLY to my events today and it’s the first time I’ve heard it, it gives me goosebumps when I see God blatantly working in my life. So grateful❤

I’m a couple years late but this is a wonderful message. Thank you for putting this online and this whole message is fuel for the soul. Thank you.

I miss Mike and his teaching. He was incredible at Willow Creek Church,and I'm so joyful he has RU-vid videos.

Thank-you pastor keep your sermons coming GOD bless you

I just turned 31 and am facing quite a few years in jail. I'm an alcoholic and I made some mistakes. I came here to find Jesus. I was raised in the faith.

12 mins in and I’ve cried 5x 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 praise god thank you Jesus 🙏

I wanna be completely FREE

I need help ! In benzos for 24 years, im separated now and alone, high anxiety, please pray for me!

I’m going to suggest that we better be talking about it. I have been in the recovery field for over half of my life and I have lost so so many friends and family to addiction of Alcohol and Drugs and Alcohol Is A Drug. God Has Helped Me Stay Clean And Sober twenty three years now. I have been in and out of jails and institutions since 10 years old 59 now. Alcohol and drugs took me to atheism To Agnostic To A Christian That Studies The Bible For hours on end Now I Am Addicted To The Word Of God. Alcoholics Anonymous/ Narcotics Anonymous/ and Al-anon For People Like Me That Was Not Raised Up With God Anywhere Around Are House. It’s A Start To Recovery .With Love Brothers and Sisters.

1 John 4:4, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” 🙏

I know there is power in prayer I need prayer to fight addiction in vaping please pray for me and God bless Jesus Christ loves you all!!!!❤❤❤

Tomorrow is day one sobriety for drink and drugs. Please pray for me. God bless 🙏

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 :)

O Lord Jesus Christ, by the power of Your precious blood and the intercession of the Holy Spirit, we humbly come before You, seeking Your help in conquering the chains of addiction that bind us. We acknowledge our weakness and our desperate need for Your divine grace and mercy. Pour forth Your healing love upon us, dear Lord, and grant us the strength to resist the allure of addictive substances and behaviors. Remove from our hearts the desire and craving that lead us astray, replacing them with a deep longing for Your presence and the peace that only You can provide. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, ignite within us a renewed sense of self-control, discipline, and determination. Guide us along the path of recovery, providing us with the necessary support, resources, and community to overcome the challenges that lie ahead. Grant us the wisdom to discern the underlying causes of our addictions and the courage to face and address them with honesty and humility. Help us to seek professional help and the guidance of spiritual mentors who can aid us on our journey of healing. Lord Jesus, we offer You our weaknesses and vulnerabilities, trusting that You can transform our struggles into opportunities for growth and redemption. Grant us the grace to surrender our will to Your divine will, finding solace and strength in Your unfailing love and mercy. We also pray for those who suffer from addiction, that they may find hope, support, and the realization of their inherent worth in Your saving grace. May Your healing touch extend to all who are affected by the devastating grip of addiction, bringing them freedom, restoration, and a renewed purpose in life. We make this prayer through You, Jesus Christ, our Savior, and with the guidance and intercession of the Holy Spirit. May Your love and mercy be our guiding light as we journey towards the freedom from addiction that can only be found in You. Amen.

Addiction is painful and difficult to resolve! Being a Christian is not saying you are perfect! You come to God broken and ask forgiveness! Healing is not always what we expect at that moment!!

Beautiful message ❤

Today is day 1 for me being sober from alcohol. Jesus help me.

Thanks for sharing God bless you're ministry

From Brazil;;;;;;; God Bless America;;;;;

Josh, this is Debi Ogle from Spring Hill days with your dad n mom. Thank you for speaking honest and always pointing others to Scripture. Steve and I are doing ministry in Florence, Italy. I am passing this on to others here in Florence and Milan. So needed! Btw we have a lot of friends fro. Our ministry time in Mesquite Tx who now go to Lifepoint.

ive never have heard a precher that has made me feel like changing the way you explain things are awsome thankyou

I relapse I'm back at rock bottom again 😔 thank you for this video

If you have some time today and would like to pray for my sister dealing with a severe alcohol addiction, I am just at a loss. We keep bringing her to detox to stop drinking herself to death and we've exhausted all avenues with rehab and facilities. I am really praying for God to remove the devil's play in this and that he doesn't take her. Thank you for this wonderful message.

I needed this, thank you 🙏🏼

Pray for me to overcome any infirmities. I need to be free and find my peace in Christ. Amen.

Addiction is a disease that won’t let go. I pray for all of you going through it. I’m in it too. But Gods not done with us yet.

Ive really Enjoyed this sermon. I love Keith's Journey,I know Im gonna take this steps. Its Time. Sending love from Kenya

Praying for freedom for my sons from soul ties 🙏

i need prayer so much. i’m trying to break free from my alcohol addiction and i admit in shame i distanced myself from God. i miss Him and i miss myself before this trial

Honestly, this is how the Christian was intended to handle this kind of situations. The husband was immediately grieved, sought God, took the step that creates the issue and was honest with his wife. The wife showed him grace, forgiveness, mercy, love and faithfulness. Scripture allows for divorce in unfaithfulness but their hearts weren’t hardened, they submitted to Jesus. God is GOOD.

I am have addiction as well... but we all aren't alone... and that is great... God loves us I really need prayers

Thank you so much for this!!! I'm currently going through this and needed to hear this more than I've ever needed to hear anything else in my entire life! Blessed be!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Please pray for my son Geno. He is battling fentanyl addiction. Please and God Bless you all

Thank you so much for this

Thank You🔥 Through Prayer, Reading The Word and You I’ve started my RU-vid channel from the perspective of the first days of getting away from my addictions with The Lord. Kinda like Bill W did way before he started AA. Bill W had a first day, first week, months & years. He was in The Oxford Group. He was in The Word as well as fellowship with Christian men and was always going to Church. Your video is a great template for my own journey with Christ❤️ Just wanted to say Thank You❤️

It's 2024 & Much Needed Message.

This is such an important subject. Thank you.

This is an in depth dig into the 12 steps, through which God transforms lives. Thanks Bro.

Give God all the praise and glory

Mike I sure miss you I used to attend Willow Creek Church in Berrington Illinois or was it Hoffman Estates I can't remember but anyways you were by far me and my wife's favorite pastor we miss you Mike. Glad everything is going well for you down in Tennessee. Blessings to you and your family.

Ty for this prayers for us all to be who he's made us to be and free to walk it out for his glory

Wow this was amazing i need TO TIGHTEN MY PROGRAMA AND TAKE ACTION

Please say prayers for me and my husband Travis Michaud for our finances and our marriage.

Thank you. This video hit home for me, and reminded me there is hope.

Pray for me as I get to sobriety over alcohol. God is good and I have faith in him to help me through this!!

God, I am powerless. I’ve been so stubborn in my addiction. I’m scared I’ll die every time I indulge and spend eternity in hell, but the pleasure doesn’t let me get away. I’m willing to give certain things up, but only under a condition. Soften my heart, Lord. Reveal to me what I need to ask you to change. make in me a new Heart, O God. I don’t know what to do.. I can’t do this without you.

Prayers for my health and strongholds of any kind

Thank You❤️

Change mine and my husband's heart amen forgive me lord

Thank you for what you were doing!

Thank you so much for this sermon. I needed in my life, and God put it in my path. I'm struggling, but I have faith in Him that He can transform me.

O most Holy Trinity, bless me with the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Please give me goodness so that I may be an example of Your goodness in the world. Please, also, pray for me to break my addictions. I have become someone I don't want to be anymore I want to be a good women and mother I give my life to the Lord with my voice and my heart, I glorify You, Father, Son and Holy Spirit! ❤🙏

It's true we all strugggle

Amen Pastor Mike, Love the point on forgiveness and letting go.

Why don’t more pastors speak about addiction? It’s absolutely one of the top things that keeps people away from God and ashamed of themselves. Stop the stigma, speak on addiction. OF ANY SORT!! Make people feel that they have someone who understands.

In the name of Jesus Christ please help me I don’t want my addiction anymore I want to be sober please I’m ready to do whatever

Pastor Mike, you are beautiful, thank you for talking about this. I needed to hear this and have been looking for this. thank you so much

I've got to examine myself. 🌻

Wow. This IS GOOD! GOD GOOD!! ❤❤❤

I very much enjoyed this talk about forgiveness

Love it ❤thank you .

Praise the Lord 🙏

Still battling with addiction and it's affecting my family

Thank you, this is really a blessing, Praise God.

Such a great video! Amen🙏

Amazing message. 🙏🙌❤️

Awesome❤️

Such a great great message!!

Please yes

I’m listening to this and honestly am scared. I’ve been struggling with alcohol for a decade, married, three beautiful daughters and an amazing wife. I’m scared of how I’ll be judged if I admit my problem to family and friends. I’m not a religious person but am feeling what this man is saying. Can I gain strength from a church environment without being concerned that they will think I’ve “gone religious”?

I want to be set free from addiction

It’s making my crazy. Crazy.
