We understand that life can be overwhelming and seems out of reach for some. As a struggling Christian that was once stuck in the devil's strongholds with drug and alcohol addiction I understand what it is like to be entrenched in a state of hopelessness with no sight of a way of change. Many times we have created a world around us with Friends or family, Jobs, and Places that are not beneficial to the change that we desperately want and need deep inside. We Have become accustomed to the way things are even if it is not healthy for us Spiritually and Physically. We have lost confidence in some ways we believe we deserve this way of life we do not feel worthy or able to change. We Have become friends with the enemy inside our head and drowned out the voice of the Spirit. Dugs and alcohol has become our way of coping and dealing with the failure we have become inside our heads.
On the contrary, we do have hope, we are not what we have become but we are destined for greatness. If you feel judged or looked down upon by other people remember you are a child of God and He will and can forgive your past. The only thing that is required is for you to initiate change and keep on the path. In John 8:1-11 the Scribe and Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery and told Jesus to Condemn her to Death which He replied he that is without sin cast the first stone which no one could a soon all left except for the woman. Now be mindful that in her eyes she was about to be killed not only in the physical but also condemned because she was in front of Jesus about to be Judged. We as addicts can put ourselves in her shoes and many of us could write a novel on exactly the way she was feeling at that moment. This makes the next words that Jesus said to the lady so profound and it still applies to us today. He asked the Lady where are your accusers and she replied No One and He said neither do I condemn The Go and Sin No More. In our heads God is fire and brimstone and we are destined for the same fate but this verse shows the true compassion of our God and Hope For The Hopeless. We are here to spread that hope and help people start to understand that they are worthy and Able to be the man and woman God called them to be. We are here to teach the Peace which Surpasses all Understanding and teach you with the Power of God To Guard your Hearts and Minds Through Understanding.
The inspiration for this ministry comes from Philippians 4: 4-9 I believe these verses explain how to recover from addictive behavior and begin a prosperous and fruitful relationship through our Lord Jesus Christ that will transform our lives like never before. In Verses 8 of this passage the author talks about Positive thinking. Being addicts we tend to be surrounded by negativity and so it only natural to think negatively. Are you in a situation that you find it impossible to stay positive? If the answer in your mind is yes you must analyze the situation and figure out if there is anything in your power to change your circumstances If the answer is yes than do those things and whatever is left over Give it to God in Prayer and let it pass. You must be willing to give 100% of yourself to make the situation better if your able and be able to give to God what you are not able to do and trust that He will take care of the rest. Once this process is done change your thoughts and think on beautiful things. This type of thinking and approach takes time and practice but guaranteed it will transform your present situation and future life.
Philippians 4:6 The author tells us to be anxious for nothing but in everything with prayer and supplication let our request be know to God. this goes inline with positive thinking but goes a little deeper. Its one thing to have a negative thought come through your mind and cancel it out as negative and change your thought process. Anxiety is when you ponder on the negative thought and allow that thought to pass to your heart and produce negative emotions. Anxiety is natural but must be dealt with and put under submission when it rears its ugly head. This verse tell us how to bring it under submission which is carry to God. Now the part of this verse which tells us with supplication many people skip over because they do not understand the definition of supplication. Here is the definition of supplication from the Cambridge dictionary.
Supplication
noun [ C or U ]
formal
us
/ˌsʌp.ləˈkeɪ.ʃən/ uk
/ˌsʌp.lɪˈkeɪ.ʃən/
the act of asking a god or someone who is in a position of power for something in a humble way:
To ask humbly means that we understand that we have no power over the outcome and that some one in power does . In the same way we take someone to court that has done us wrong in a plea to a judge that has power to make it right. God can turn around hopeless situations and make them a blessing. When we pray we must believe this and that belief is reflected in our humbleness. The Lord is moved by the prayer of the Humble and listens. Psalms 10:17.
