Find true freedom from your addictions.

Many people aren’t sure what God wants for them. But it’s really quite simple: God wants you healthy, whole, well provided for and enjoying life to the fullest! That’s why He wants you free from any kind of bondage. Bondages, be they paralyzing anxieties, depression or addictions, only rob you from enjoying all that He has in store for you.
God so wants you to live a life of freedom and victory that it moved Him to send His beloved Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for you so that you may live an abundant life. Today, if you are not experiencing this abundant life because you are in bondage to something, I want you to know that Jesus is your answer. His gifts of abundant grace and righteousness are what you need to empower you to break free from whatever is holding you captive!

Find true freedom from your bondage through the Lord’s abundant grace and gift of righteousness. Even if you are bound by addictions — to pornography, alcohol, nicotine and drugs — so many are defeated and paralyzed by depression, fears, guilt and condemnation.

No Christian likes to sin, let alone be hopelessly chained to one. The Lord calls you His sheep, and no sheep — even a lost one — likes to wallow in mud. Also, every one longs to live free from defeatist thoughts that hold them back from living a purposeful and powerful life.

In The Pain Of Addiction many have been frustrated and unable to help themselves, some people 10, 20, 30 years, some practically their whole life, before they were set free. The shame and condemnation many feel are often so overwhelming that many of them become depressed and suicidal. Some start to develop sicknesses and marital problems as years of substance abuse and self-condemnation take a toll on their bodies and marriages.

They hate living in such captivity and seeing what it was doing to themselves and their loved ones. But if anyone can discover and lean on the grace of God to deliver them that they find lasting freedom. As a precious person to God once you hear and kept hearing about God’s abundant grace and the gift of righteousness that is yours through Christ’s finished work, your addictions supernaturally will fall away, and a welcome sense of wholeness and joy will replace the emptiness, frustration and shame.
