Jesus, salvation, faith, drug addiction
...
Whoever you are, you have reached these words for a reason. God loves you so much! He died for you so that you may have life and have that life abundantly. You can get set free forever from any addiction when you come to Him who created you. He is a God of miracles and many second chances. When you come to Jesus, He will heal you forever. Perhaps you have been through rehab many times or have been hurt or disappointed by AA or NA. Jesus died on a filthy dirty cross so that you can be set free. Come to Jesus...come now! Come Home!

Albert Einstein defined insanity by stating that it is doing things the same way, over and over again, with the expectation of getting new and different results. That's what's happening in the world of addictions. The medical profession is living in the insane realm. They keep calling addiction a disease even though it isn't. It's about time they woke up. Doctors and therapists are causing the deaths of millions whom they have diagnosed as diseased. While my husband and I are about to embark on a journey of time and distance to change this, there still remain those who are needlessly dying of a "disease" they are told they have and don't.
When a person is plain old FAT because they just like to stuff their face, they are told they have the "disease of obesity". Hogwash! They freakin' eat too much and don't make the right choices! You know I'm right. If someone drinks alcohol, their feelings are soothed and their minds placated by telling them they have the disease of alcoholism. That's bu%#s@(^. Spare me the sentiment. People keep dying because of this. Then others decide they like the high from drugs and are told they have the disease of addiction for which there is no cure. These "professionals"(????) tell these near to death people that they must strive to get through "today" because tomorrow is just too difficult to imagine without their substance. ALL OF YOU WHO TELL PEOPLE WHO MAKE BAD CHOICES IN THEIR LIFE THAT THEY HAVE AN INCURABLE DISEASE ARE THE VERY ENABLERS THAT KEEP THIS LIE ALIVE!!!
When will this stop? When will those of you out there who perpetuate this lie of "disease" let go? It's enough. Haven't enough people died? Hasn't their been enough despair and destruction of people and families because of your intentional promotion of a disease process??????? Enough! Call a spade a spade. Tell these people they drink too much...eat too much...are way too fat...drug too much, that it's all due to a lethal choice and that the good news...the great news...is that they have other choices...better ones. And how about GOD? Why isn't anyone telling these people in deep trouble that we have a God who came and died for them so that they could have an abundant life FREE of addiction? Where are the men in the pulpits? Preachers: Come out from your pulpits and tell these souls that the bondage they are in is because they choose it.
WAKE UP! The alarm is ringing. Let's get the addicted the freedom they deserve.

I have said it from the beginning and I will say it until the day I die...Addiction is NOT a Disease. If you do your research, there a more and more medical professionals who agree. When it's about choices, you only need to make some sense out of this. Come on, now! Cancer chooses YOU! A heart attack chooses YOU! The flu chooses YOU! MS chooses YOU! Getting my point? With all "disease", they ALL choose YOU! You do NOT and canNOT choose them!!! However your Addiction began, you were the one to make the choice to let it in. It's also YOUR choice to get rid of it...once and for all. If you can choose it, it's NOT a disease. Addiction is a bad choice...nothing more...nothing less. Only problem is that it's LETHAL. Remember, if your Addiction began with a doctor's prescription, it's no less lethal than heroin; in fact, it's MORE lethal because people refuse to believe that doctors are causing their Addiction. They will NOT believe that their doctor has hurt them.
PLEASE.......CHOOSE the proper treatment to get out of your Addiction without those 12 Steppers brainwashing you to believe the lie that you suffer from a disease and it will revisit you. I'm so happy that God set me FREE. I never have to worry about getting through today...I know I'm healed. God heals. One day at a time is so NOT in my vocabulary and it surely doesn't run my life.

Song of Addiction
They said I would never survive,
that even God couldn't keep me alive.
They yelled, they groaned,
They spoke in a moan,
that was so up close
and all in the same monotone.
They said I would never survive.
I pleaded my case,
as my Lord caused me to
focus upon His beautiful Face,
and He held my hand,
While their words sounded more & more like a dissonant band.
They said I would never survive.
The dissonance faded,
as I became less and less jaded.
I knew they were wrong,
That their words sounded NOT like a song.
They argued, they raged,
They thought they had me in a cage.
They said I would never survive.
I knew HE would do it.
He promised HE would.
I knew I could trust HIM,
I knew that I should.
He stroked me with Light,
as only HE could.
No one else had the Power,
To change evil into good.
They said I would never survive.
The drugs with their venom and calling to me,
They were now gone forever, they simply had to see.
They could no longer beckon or whisper sweet things.
HE changed me, HE healed me,
My spirit, my soul, now fly on His wings.
How quickly some choose to believe the lie,
That God isn't able and He would let me die.
He suffered the cross for my sins yet to be,
He took away my suffering.
If you only could see.
I'm healthy, I'm well.
All that it took was belief.
You too will He free
From the bondage you suffer.
Just tell Him you love Him,
And cling to no other.
HE will never leave, HE will make you alive.
And they said I would never survive.

Jesus, believe, God, Spots
...
Funny how our God is and works, isn't it? We think we can pray for something and receive it our own way. Rarely do we understand that our prayers are all answered, according to HIS will and HIS will alone. We should never even go beyond our simple requests in prayer; we just need to know that our prayers will be answered in a way that will increase both our faith and our strength in Jesus. The thing is, that when we pray HE asks us only to believe with out entire being, with faith to compare only to a tiny mustard seed. for the last few weeks, I was trying to figure faith out (for the millionth time), and if it pleases God to believe that what we ask for is already done. With my thinking cap on, I tried to go to deeper levels concerning this - only to find out that God makes it so very simple. We need only to have child-like faith to receive our Father's blessings.
Getting back to what I started out to say was that I wrestled with whethe or not it was too bold of me to expect to receive what I ask for. I had absolutely NO idea how God would answer my prayer in a way that changed my life. Needless to say, I now KNOW, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I will receive what I ask for from my Abba Father...as long as it is according to His will and not something that goes against His Holy Commandments. Now, I have Spiritual courage. So, having said this, here's what happened to me on July 8th at 9pm. My faith has not only blossomed to it's fullest, but I know that with God's help, I CAN move mountains!!! I hope this testimony affects you the same way. Be blessed!
Here's what happened and is posted on my precious little cat's Blog (yes...he blogs!).[God is with us always. We had a true transformational MIRACLE on July 8h. Bill and I were on 2 opposite ends of our house when we heard Spots screaming. It was a scream like we never heard from him (or any other cat) before...totally bone chilling! We both knew something was very, very wrong. It turned out that Spots was on my dresser (his favorite spot) when Bill and I got to him. He was in serious pain and great discomfort and he was so scared. He was totally unable to move. His eyes were closed and his body was lifeless and cold. He ALWAYS purrs when we come to him; this time he was hardly even able to breathe. His breathing was hardly discernable. I picked him up (all 42 pounds of him - not bad for someone who just got out her wheelchair not too long ago), and his body was that of a rag doll. His breathing was not only shallow, but it was very irregular. He didn't react to our touching him at all and couldn't move any part of his little self. I immediately cried and yelled to Bill to call the vet. Needless to say, the vet was unavailable at that late hour, so I said to Bill..."let's pray". I consider myself such a strong believer...why prayer wasn't my first thought, I don't know. At the point I said "let's pray", little Spots was cheyne stoking (slow, irregular shallow breathing followed by cessation of breathing for a minute or longer), which always is a sign of impending death withing hours or less. I told Bill that he was dying...probably a stroke. I began to cry so hard that I began freaking out that we were losing this precious little faithful "child" of ours. Anyway, Bill put his hand on his little head and prayed for his healing. After prayer, Bill kissed Spots and said his "goodbye" to him. The little guy was still lifeless in my lap...still totally unable to move. As a matter of fact, Bill told me to re-position his front leg because it was awkwardly twisted to the left (since he was unable to control his own body). Anyway, right after prayer and me crying out to Jesus to heal him, suddenly, Spots began to breathe normally and started to purr!!! We watched in amazement. His eyes opened with perfect clarity. Within seconds...he was able to move his right front paw and then his left. Within another second or two, he was turning around on my lap, getting himself comfortable. Bill sat down next to me and Spots on the sofa, and started talking to him again. Spots got himself moving and then went over to sit on Bill's lap...as if to say, I'm fine daddy and I love you. We were shouting and praising Jesus for his healing!!! Then, Spots leaped off Bill's lap and went to his litter box, did his business anad happily pranced back to his favorite spot on my dresser in our bedroom...as if nothing had happened. This was a true miracle of healing. Later on Bill and I shared how we felt the presence and power of God in the room when he prayed. Jesus says..."When two or three are gathered, there I Am in the midst". He was! He is! Spots is 110% healthy and doing his usual funny antics. This morning, he purred me the most beautiful 'hello' meow ever!!! Praise be to God.
Our heavenly Father wants whatever we want as long as our prayers to Him are according to His will. Even our little Spots was saved from certain death because the Lord knows how much we love him and how much he loves us. Jesus cares about every single thing in our lives. All we need is faith, the size of a tiny mustard seed.
Spots...we so love you so very much & thank you, from the depths of my soul, for going through this for mommy!

Jesus, prescription drugs, God, addiction
...
I always say, time and time again, that Addiction is SIN, not disease. Jesus died for our sins on the Cross. You do the math! There is a part two to this concept. The part two is Faith. God defines Faith as follows…Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen
(Hebrews 11:1). We can now put together the fact that our want or need for something is requested in prayer and is followed by the faith to believe that we have already received what we have asked for as long as it stays within the will of God. Does God want you to be an addict? No! Does He want you healed of Addiction? Yes! Will you now have the faith it takes to believe this? I hope your answer is yes because the healing of Addiction IS God’s will for you. As a child of the Living God, you can expect that healing will take place. God IS perfect. When He heals, He heals completely. There will never be a relapse or craving for drugs or alcohol (or any other addiction), once you are healed. You will not live in bondage to numerous meetings or struggle daily with staying clean, one day at a time. That's absurd! Come on now! That’s the 12 steppers cultic mindset and mantra, it is NOT the Mind of our God! Since it’s not the Mind of God, it is garbage, so cast it out.
There Are Only 3 Simple Steps
Now, you realize that, as a child of God who has truly received Salvation through Messiah Jesus, you have the right to a miraculous, supernatural and complete healing from your Addiction. This is His perfect will for your life and your first step towards healing. What’s the next step? The next step is that you must believe that He is who is says He is and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him. The third step is that you must exercise your Faith. How do you exercise your faith? You do this by having a vision in your mind, body, soul, & spirit where you see yourself completely and totally healed and just keep moving forward toward that new, healed person – never doubting. You need to hold on to your healing even before it has happened.
In Scripture, there was a blind man who was blind from birth whom Jesus healed. The account of this in The Bible goes exactly like this.
Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?
Jesus answered, Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him. I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. And He said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is
translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.
(John 9:1-7)
Let’s break this passage in the Bible down for a moment…very simply. We have a blind man who has never seen. He has no idea what sight is or what it will be like when he finishes cleaning off the clay from his eyes. What he DOES know, is that sight will be lifechanging and he wants that. He allows Jesus to place the clay on His eyes (submission to and trust to God), then, He listens to Jesus’ instructions and walks all the way to the water to follow Jesus and wash off the clay from his eyes (faith), and, finally, he opens his eyes and he can see for the first time in his life. (he receives His healing). All along this process, he is always expecting that God will do what He said He would do. Just as with this blind man, this miracle was done so as to manifest the Power of God to both the blind man and to everyone around him. God also manifests Himself in the miracle of healing of your Addiction. Did you say, well maybe God doesn’t do this all the time? Let me say something, God does NOT change. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
(Hebrews 13:8) Remember, God does NOT show partiality. His promises are to each and every person who accepts Him and believes in faith. Acts 10:34 says,God shows no partiality.
In conlcusion, come to God as you are right now. Accept Jesus into your heart and turn you life over to Him…completely and totally, leaving nothing behind and no obstacles. Just submit to Him. Get to learn about Him through reading His Word, The Bible. Ask Him to heal your Addiction and have the vision of being FREE of your Addiction. Keep seeing yourself FREE. Move forward in faith. Wash the clay off your eyes and expect to be healed…for life! He did it for me and many others I coach addicts and I know and see His miracles. He will do it for you. You only need faith, the size of a tiny mustard seed. It's your choice. It's always been and always is your choice. God gives us free will to choose. You can choose to stay in your addiction and to suffer and die in it, or you can choose the 12 steps (to hell) route and keep on relapsing while living day to day in fear; however, you can also choose Jesus to completely heal you and move forward in your life with the peace of God and His joy and Power to enjoy life in a renewed and refreshing new way that arms you with the ability to look forward to great things for your life, both now and for all of your tomorrows.
Here are what mustard seeds look like in a person’s hand. All the faith you need is in the size of just one of them.
