MAY 14 v 3 TWELVE STEPPING WITH POWER IN THE PROVERB

A fool’s proud talk becomes a rod that beats him,
but the words of the wise keep them safe.

 

STEP 3 - Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

We are at most times our own worst enemy . Beating ourselves up and criticizing and over analyzing is a big waste of your time. Nine out of ten times your addiction is caused by the fact that you don't like yourself or your life . Step one and two will let you know that God is there and wants to help , but you have to shut your mouth and stop thinking and dwelling on every little thing that has happened in your life . LET GO LET GOD or drown and die in foolishness self pity and fear.



Jeremiah 29 11 -13 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

MAY 13 v 16 TWELVE STEPPING WITH POWER IN THE PROVERB
 

Wise people think before they act;
fools don’t—and even brag about their foolishness.

 

STEP 7 - Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

How can you be wise when your a numb skull .That is what drugs and alcohol do to you make you a numb skull . Your an idiot if you think that you have everything under control and the life of addiction in which you live is normal. The enemy of your soul (addiction) wants to steal , torture , and eventually kill . I could not see any of this when I was lost in my world .That is what it was my world and I had all the answers . I was sick with pride , foolishness , guilt , depression , fear , insecurities , anger , and the list goes on . Addiction helped me build a wall , at first I thought these walls would keep me safe and protect me . The walls I discovered were a trap , a Dungeon built for my torture , a palace of pain and sorrows . Sixteen years was my sentence ! Some get life and others never get out . Look I do not know you , but I do know what it is like to live in that Dungeon ,to think I have all the answers and nobody loves me or even cares . Addiction is a cruel task master and it will continue to tell you want to hear because it wants you caged and silent or just dead prematurely. Stop listening to the lies and listen to the cries of loved ones . Pray for the hand of the Lord too give you sight too find the twelve steps out of that Dungeon .

2 Timothy 3 v 16 - All scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right .

MAY 11 v 11 TWELVE STEPPING WITH POWER IN THE PROVERB

Upright citizens are good for a city and make it prosper,
but the talk of the wicked tears it apart.

STEP 5 - Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

What are you doing for yourself , family and community . My father was born in 1933 and the stories he shares of how people really cared for one another just a short seventy years ago gives me hope . Addiction is one of the main plagues in our society . Not only must we get sober but once we do we are obligated too give back too our communities and our fellow man . The Proverb definitely hit the nail on the head instead of this nation prospering like it did in the forties , fifties , and sixties ,it is just a few steps away from bankruptcy and complete moral collapse . In order to change this nation as a whole we have to start as , Michael sang about with the man in the mirror . What this country needs is GOD and His book (Bible) back in schools ! Our children have no foundation on which too build their lives . Most of the older folks will tell you without it life becomes what we have today a money driven , murderous , prideful , intoxicating , all about me society where children become back talking , God hating , greedy , murderous , lustful , unloving , little monsters who lack all empathy and respect for others or this great nation . . Without rules we will have division and anarchy and sadly enough this is the America we have today .

Deuteronomy 28 : 15 Now , if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD, your God, carefully observing all his commandments which I give you today, the LORD, your God, will set you high above all the nations of the earth.
