    I found this by the Vigilant Blog and I am gonna watch these vids and learn some things. I dont struggle with drugs or alcohol addictions but my brother is a pure rotten mess and it is overwhelming and exhausting to deal with and to comprehend:( :( Our family has never had so much drama or friction from this and we dont know how to deal with it anymore!! There is a special wife and kids my brother is about to loose if something dont change fast! We get story after story.. lies after lies.. the tears and heartbreak runs deep and just too much details but FRIENDS AND PRAYER WARRIORS.. PLEASE PRAY FOR MY BROTHER JESSE BLUE!!! He needs Jesus and to be delivered from the hands of satan!! Thanks and God bless!! xoxo EVERYONE PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THE VIGILANT CHRISTIAN AND HIS WALK WITH JESUS BE STRONGER THAN EVER!! I plead the blood over this ministry and may it save more souls and deliver more sins in Jesus name Amen!! I am hoping maybe in some way to understand the addiction to drugs and such because this is the first time ever in my family we are dealing with on the frontline. :( I know God is always on the throne and nothing is impossible for my Saviour! =) God bless ASHES TO RUBIES;)

      You can't overcome only jesus can overcome it for you " These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. "
      (John 16: 33)
      So this was why paul said
      " I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
      (Galatians 2: 20)
      Be crucified with christ and let christ live the life which you now live and also please don't use the word "my demons" if you accept jesus christ as your personal saviour you are no longer in the kingdom of darkness " Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:"
      (Ephesians 2: 2)
      You should realize this

      @@EthiopianTradingJournal it's difficult to do as you say. I will try but how - I don't believe in the way people just say 'say such and such a verse and believe in your hear and you'll be saved' What if that doesn't work. I won't give up hope though, as God himself and the Holy Spirit and their Son will help me I'm sure in the end. The battle still goes on inside, and you can't just pretend it doesn't.

    Immanuel (the anointed one) also called Jesus, is the true prophet and the Son of man that was always chosen to speak the word of God, and no other man on earth…
    “I will raise up for them a prophet like you [Moses] from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth.” - (Deuteronomy 18: 18) -
    “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign: A young woman is with child, and she will bear a son, and will call him Immanuel.” [“God-with-us”] - (Isaiah 7: 14) -
    “If you have ears to hear; then hear.” - (Mark 4: 9) -
    “God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” - (John 4: 24) -
    “The teaching that I give is not my own; it is the teaching of him who sent me. Whoever has the will to do the will of God shall know whether my teaching comes from him or is merely my own.” - (John 7: 16-17) -
    “Beware of false prophets; men who come to you dressed up as sheep while underneath they are savage wolves. You will recognize them by the fruits they bear.” - (Matthew 7: 15-16) -
    “Do not call any man on earth ‘father’; for you have one Father and he is in heaven. Nor must you be called ‘teacher’; you have one Teacher, the Messiah.” - (Matthew 23: 9-10) -
    “The thief comes only to steal, to kill, to destroy; I have come that men may have life, and may have it in all its fullness.” - (John 10: 10) -
    “Take care that no one misleads you: For many will come claiming my name…”
    - (Matthew 24: 4) -
    “Many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many; and as lawlessness spreads, men’s love for one another will grow cold. But the man who holds out to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the earth as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come.” - (Matthew 24: 11-14) -
    “I am the way; I am the truth and I am life; no one comes to the Father except by me. If you knew me you would know my Father too.” - (John 14: 6-7) -
    “When you pray, go into a room by yourself, and shut the door. Pray to your Father who is there in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you.
    In your prayers do not go babbling on like the heathen, who imagine that the more they say the more likely they are to be heard.
    Do not imitate them. Your Father knows what your needs are before you ask him.
    This is how you should pray:
    Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
    Your kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven,
    Give us today our daily bread,
    And forgive us the wrong we have done, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us.
    And do not bring us to the test, but save us from the evil one.
    For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever.
    Amen.
    For if you forgive others the wrongs they have done, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, then the wrongs you have done will not be forgiven by your Father.” - (Matthew 6: 6-15) -
    “Pass no judgement, and you will not be judged. For as you judge others, so you will yourselves be judged, and whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt back to you.” - (Matthew 7: 1-2) -
    “Truly I tell you; if anyone obeys my teaching he shall never know what it is to die.” - (John 8: 51) -
    “Always treat others as you would like them to treat you: that is the Law and the Prophets.
    Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.” - (Matthew 7: 12-14) -
    “I am the gate; anyone who comes into the fold through me shall be safe.” - (John 10: 9) -
    “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” - (Matthew 7: 21) -
    “I am the resurrection and I am life. If a man has faith in me, even though he dies, he shall come to life; and no one who is alive and has faith shall ever die.” - (John 11: 25-26) -
    “I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world” - (John 12: 47) -
    “Whoever then will acknowledge me before men, I will acknowledge him before my Father in heaven; and whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.” - (Matthew 10: 32-34) -
    “Someone said to him, ‘your mother and brothers are here outside; they want to speak to you.’ Jesus turned to the man who brought the message, and said, ‘Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?’ and pointing to the disciples, he said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers. Whoever does the will of my heavenly Father is my brother, my sister, my mother.’” - (Matthew 12: 47-50) -
    “The disciples came and asked Jesus, ‘Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven?’ He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: ‘Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven.
    Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.
    If anyone causes one of these little ones-those who believe in me-to stumble, It would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
    Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!’” - (Matthew 18: 1-7) -
    “An expert in the law, [a leading religious Pharisee] tested him with this question: ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?’ He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind. That is the greatest commandment. It comes first. The second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself. Everything in the Law and the Prophets hangs on these two commandments.’” - (Matthew 22: 35-40) -
    “There is no greater love than this, that a man should lay down his life for his friends.” - (John 15: 13) -
    "Stay awake, and pray that you may be spared the test: The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." - (Matthew 26: 41) -
    “Teach them to observe all that I have commanded you. And be assured, I am with you always, to the end of time.” - (Matthew 28: 20) -
    “One of the criminals who hung there also mocked and taunted him: ‘Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself, and us!’ But the other criminal rebuked him. ‘Have you no fear of God? You are under the same sentence as he. For us it is plain justice; we are paying the price for our misdeeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.’ And he said, ‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ He answered, “I tell you this: today you shall be with me in Paradise.’” - (Luke 23: 39-43) -
    “For it is my Father’s will that everyone who looks upon the Son and puts his faith in him shall possess eternal life; and I will raise him up on the last day” - (John 6: 40) -
    Yours always, in true Spirit and in our one given prayer, Monday the 21st of January, 2019: - (Matthew 5:14-16) - Where every minute (of both day and night) can be a new beginning for any one of us. Let it always be you…
