June 21 2018 Through the Twelve Steps With Spiritual Support from Scripture


Luke 9 v 55 v 56  Jesus said ,You don't know what manner of spirit you are of ,For the son of man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them.


STEP 2. We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. Philippians 2:13 NIV




Discover this truth and believe every word and your life will begin to change.When Jesus Christ walked this Earth,His mission then was to help the sick broken and those who were lost. Jesus was eventually murdered by the religious priests of the day because Jesus helped people that the priests hated and they thought were unworthy of Gods love.The priests of the day had there way of doing things and Jesus mocked them and their traditions. So in a way Jesus is a lot like us , a rebel ! Jesus knows what it is like to struggle ! Jesus experienced pain and suffering that could never be described with words.Jesus Christ died a criminals death in your place to make thing right with God our father and creator and then like now he is still your lawyer , fighting for you protecting you counseling you and loving you! Jesus said come to me all who are burdened and I will give you rest. Like the thief on the cross next to Jesus on his day of execution we can be with Jesus in paradise , all we have to do is believe. Jesus Christ died for your disease of addiction ,He nailed it to the cross!Receive Jesus as your Savior ask Him to enter your heart and  life!
