I am lifting you in prayer, along with myself, a nephew, a former neighbor, and anyone who is facing this trial. Greater is He who is in us, than he who is in the world. Blessings and peace! And remember the power that raised Jesus Christ from the grave is at work in each of us. PTL!

He will deliver your sons if you are a true believer and keep seeking Christ in your own life and continue praying for your sons. Blessings to you in Jesus name.

Many many prayers for you 🙏🙏🙏
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.
You can do it! God loves you.
Go to a treatment center that does IOP intensive outpatient treatment that does suboxone. Suboxone will immediate take away all physical cravings and withdraw symptoms and allow you to feel better to work on the deeper stuff. You can get your life back. You can, just ask for help. Go through an assessment at a treatment facility and explain your situation and just surrender. Good luck God Bless
May God strengthen you in your journey. My son is struggling as well- I wouldn’t wish this on any family! God bless you
Hi. I hope youre doing well and stuck with sobriety.
Problem with this video is he says "all you need to do is let god trransform you, and change the way you think and dont think about your additction"..... oh "and makes amends with your lies and theivery". he then gives us a ist of things to do, to do those things.... "number one blah blah"....
The next things needed to achieve this, he goes on to explains essentially was is tantamount to saying (to a sufferer of depression (such as myself and a lot of addicts)), - "you have depression? well just CHANGE the way you think about things?" - as if implying "Then you wont be depressed about it will you?"
I agree with alot this guy says as it sounds very cathartic to do these things - however, and this is the big however,
When you're unable to take ANY steps to quit, and I mean, when your cycle involves no social network, no partner, no friends, and working systems to currently support said habit that is that I want the POWER to stop. (if thta makes sense)
becuase of my addiction, i have drove everyone away, locked myself away from the world (making my previous problems worse) - not because of any wrong doing or anything like that (I have never stole for my addiction, partly because never needed to and probably will lever need to - i've always had the cash and i can see myself being able to stay on that side of the law),
The reason i have done this is becuase all i want to do is get high.
"just think differently"
well i just want to get high. I dont want a girlfriend or friends or any of that shiz. Well yes i do. Ofr course. but I'd rather get high.
So. How do you take this "frist step" when you cant?
im trying to quit but its impossible.....
appreciate any thoughts.
Apologies for my rambling. I know im clearly So DESPERATELY angry with myself because of what I've become and this causes 2am rants.
God Bless
x
You can do it but not alone we need help and support I'll be praying for you as I fight this battle as well
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 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!!!
Praying for you, dear sister. Keep focused on Jesus. He's got you even when you fall, He'll pick you back up. Much love
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.
Me too
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!!!!!
can you help me please?
Don’t give up Jesus loves you!!!
He is your HOPE!!!
He sees you!
He hears you!
Keep contending for your healing it will come!!!
Read Psalms 30.
Stay there with him for a while curl up in His lap and stay there don’t leave until He heals you!❤
Weeping may endure thru the night (dark night of your soul) but Joy comes in the morning!!
Do you want to get well??
Crawl up into the lap of Hope!
Getting well starts with your brokenness all you have to do is bring him your brokenness And just LET HIM, LET HIM Domus!!
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 🙏
Your shame of your family member is what has you hiding. Truth is more people have someone in their life dealing with shameful things than we want to realize. It's a cruel world, try and enjoy your stay!
They don’t have to but they do
Yes a lot of them don't preach this
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. .❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🇮🇪🇮🇪
Good for you 29 years is a long time!
I wanna be completely FREE
Me too
Tomorrow is day one sobriety for drink and drugs. Please pray for me. God bless 🙏
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😌

-Steph
My name is Kim and thankyou i need all the prayers I can get. God bless you xx
Pray for me i am trying to enter rehab pray that my soul be save i don't care about my body and kim god bless may god help you through your addiction❤
Lord, please forgive me and guide me through my trials and tribulations.
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.
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
@@Vengeance824 you are evil and no child of Christ goes around using the word of God to shame people even tho that’s a sin.
@@Vengeance824 you are seriously gonna be judged for your mean, evil, and heartless acts. I pray that Jesus has mercy on your sinful soul
I’m a recovering heroin and opiate addict myself and I know that pain so well….I pray you’re doing well and if you need a friend I’m here I have been there and walked that life I gave up everything for drugs I lost it all even went to prison for it but I’m 3 years sober today WE DO RECOVER!! You can do this!!
Hope you’re doing well
12 mins in and I’ve cried 5x 😮💨😮💨😮💨 praise god thank you Jesus 🙏
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 in the middle of a hangover. I binged and need prayers too. I am turning it over to God and faith.
I miss Mike and his teaching.
He was incredible at Willow Creek Church,and I'm so joyful he has CZcams videos.
Exactly he was a real Shining Light at Willow Creek in Illinois.
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 :)
Jesus will meet you where you are and he will help you! God doesn’t want you to wait until you have it all together before you seek Him. He loves throughout all your highs and lows , and He can help you overcome. The book of Psalms is a great place to start reading if you’re not sure what to read 🙏🏽
Come to Jesus just as you are. He loves you so much. Start with Psalms. His holy word will begin to cover you with his love. I am praying that your vaping will end! I pray that the enemy is bided. You are a child of God. Lord Jesus you hear your child yearning to know you. May you touch this persons heart with your grace and never ending love. May this addiction be over. I the name ofJesus I pray for healing! Praying for 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.
Hi, Come back here again and ask someone to help you get through these hard things in your life. God will always help you and He uses people around us to guide us too. I'm praying for you too!
Justin, the same power that rose Jesus from the grave lives, in you just ask him for help. Ask him to use all that is ahead of you he will set you free through your circumstances just call out to him and he will answer you knock and he will open the door, seek and you will find him, ask and don’t quit run after him with your whole heart. He loves the addicts!!!!
How you doing? Are you back out now? Closer to God?
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 ❤
Forgive those that hurt you... 😮❤ This will set me free with the help of God

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.
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.
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.
@@Vengeance824 can you explain what you mean by this verse? I comprehend the verse, but I am confused by the context you are using it in.
Thanks for sharing God bless you're ministry

I very much enjoyed this talk about forgiveness
Amazing message. 🙏🙌❤️
Thank you, this is really a blessing, Praise God.
It's 2024 & Much Needed Message.
Thank you. This video hit home for me, and reminded me there is hope.
This was really helpful. Thank you. Love, from Australia.
Such a great great message!!
Such a great video! 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!!
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!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Beautiful message ❤
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
Awesome❤️
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.
Thank You🔥 Through Prayer, Reading The Word and You I’ve started my CZcams 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❤️
This is an in depth dig into the 12 steps, through which God transforms lives. Thanks Bro.
Prayers for my health and strongholds of any kind
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.
It’s making my crazy. Crazy.
Wow this was amazing i need TO TIGHTEN MY PROGRAMA AND TAKE ACTION
I am have addiction as well... but we all aren't alone... and that is great... God loves us I really need prayers
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
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.
I relapse I'm back at rock bottom again 😔
thank you for this video
Never give up! Proverbs 24:16 is an encouraging verse that says, “For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.” Pray and cry out to God when tempted by Satan - he wants you addicted! You can do it!!! Cheer up! God bless you! - Joe from Korea.
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.
Prayers for me
I have lost it all
Lost in love
Now a fentanyl addiction
I need strength to stand alone
Thank you
May God shine his face upon you and seek and you will find his strength and power. ❤
1st Time Listening & Log On Laughing.

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! ❤🙏
Please yes
Today is day 1 for me being sober from alcohol. Jesus help me.

May god bless you and heal you pray that you be save by his grace lord help her through the pain and hardship haleluiah amen
I want to be set free from addiction
Never gonna happen,God created our addictions
Proverbs 24:16 is an encouraging verse that says, “For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.” Never give up! Pray and cry out to HIM when tempted - I do this non stop! Remember, YOU and I already have the guaranteed Victory, 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.” Pray my friend! God bless you! 🙏
@leestone7372 how are you doing brother
Jesus i need ure help 😢please break these strong holds and chains
Please pray for my son Geno. He is battling fentanyl addiction. Please and God Bless you all
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
❤❤❤
Pray for me and my husband the devil has had a strong hold on me but not any more
Praying. My husband and me, too.
The devil has me to,gambling addiction. Or maybe god wants me to have addictions.
Nope he doesn't want us addiction
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 can take the desire for alcohol completely out of your life. He did it for me. Just think about the hangovers...the way it makes you feel..the embarrassment of blackouts. You can stop. Not only stop..but the desire for it will go away. In Jesus name amen
@CaraRiedell-wf3bc in Jesus name Amen. Thank you for the good words 🙏
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.
pray i get back on track i lost the path
I am heroin addict i have prayed and prayed i am just lost don't know what to do please please pray for me for my soul that my soul be saved
