If you believe in Rehabilitation NOT Incarceration for our loved ones who have been jailed for merely possessing their drug of choice, or for addiction related crimes rather than receiving treatment for their disease, please sign our petition to President Trump. Our children are being locked up, sometimes in isolation, and kept in jail with violent offenders rather than being treated. They are forced to go through withdrawals without any medical assistance, some even dying as they go through the detoxification process.

ADDICTION FROM GODS PERSPECTIVE

ADDICTION FROM GODS PERSPECTIVE

Colossians 2 : 14 : 15 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.

We have researched read and learned that Addiction is a form of Spiritual Slavery . For those still in active addiction who are enslaved , and will remain that way until they recognize their Spiritual Blindness and captivity .No one discusses this in the treatment realm because they dont understand it so they ignore it. True freedom from Addiction is found in the Spiritual Realm. There was a purpose for Jesus Christ dieing on the cross . It wasn't because people of that time in history didnt like Him ,He had to die and He wanted to die to disarm the powers of darkness in the Spiritual realm that enslave you through Addiction . Study the scripture above and really think about it ! Know the truth and the Truth will set you free !
