The lie that the devil used on me, was when I went to church, I felt so alone, like I was the only one struggling. It's taken me a long time to realize, struggle is a huge part of the walk, we all go through things while god shapes us and molds us, and every single person in church, even the person who you look at as like the most perfect who just has it all together, is struggling in their own way. Reach out, be honest about your struggle with people, if you're in the right church, you will be embraced with love and understanding and wisdom.

This video is what's up! Great testimony, my friend. I'm coming out of decades of addiction, been in and out of AA, and believe that I'm a child of God...not an alcoholic or addict. I was led to a church while sleeping on the streets, staying drunk. I attended the Sunday service and the next morning when I woke up I, with all my heart, believed that I heard God tell me, "It's over." My addiction, adios. I'm a believer in it takes what it takes, and my battle was extremely dark, lonely, hopeless at times, and I damaged a lot of relationships. But, in Christ, we are redeemed. Today, I worship God. Not a bottle, a drug. Thanks for this video. Praying God blesses your life and your family and the mission He has you on! ❤️

I was depressed and ironically met a girl who i liked and she was a christian. At first i was learning bible verses to impress her. Little did I know God was using that to reach me. I ended up clean from Marijuana for 3 years got into minisrty was preaching as well. One night at a friends birthday i fell into that temptation and relapsed. I didnt want to be in ministry anymore. My life fell apart. Lost my business. Lost 2 family members to suicide. All the friends i had moved away and i was left alone. 3 days ago I lost my dog to cancer and that was my last breaking point. Im now 3 days clean and have returned to Gods grace im struggling but im more than a conqueror through Christ. I feel the same shame you did. God is good. Whoever is reading this. Remember this. Somewhere in the future we are doing better than we are right now. God bless

I’m crying rn. I’m a Christian struggling with weed. I’ve been smoking for 7 years. Ive tried to quit countless times. I always think that this is a part of me like you said, and this video just gave me so much strength. Thank you so much.

crying right now 😢 your battle is almost identical to mine! and im in the thick of it right now 😢 broken hearted crying to God every day. Ive been so ashamed ❤

God delivered me from a 5-8 year battle with pornography. I had the same experience you did last year I said I'm done I'm fed up with looking at this filth and I out loud declared I'm the Righteousness of God in Christ. And I felt so empowered I knew the addiction was finally over all thanks to the healing, mercy and patience of our Heavenly Father and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ

I also started smoking weed when I was 13. Much like you, I was raised well in a Christian household. I also went off of the Lords path and became addicted. Nicotine, weed and alcohol. When I moved out of my parents house, I got into cocaine for a while and mushrooms. This year I’ve been telling God and my friends and family that I’m going to quit, but just about every time I’m near alcohol, or weed, or mushrooms, I do them without hesitation. The past few days I’ve been feeling completely hopeless and that I’m forever going to be an addict. Never able to be firm in my decision to say no. This video is what I’ve needed to see for a long time. I know that God guided me to this video so I thank you so much for making it. God bless you

Thank you for this. I think my biggest struggle with substances is the illusion of them making me feel smarter or better or able to conquer life

There are two billion addicts in the world. Less than 1% find recovery. Your message rocks!

I was addicted to pills 💊, I’m currently on kratom,and am trying hard to while quit weaning my self off.I started praying, reading my Bible and going to church. I know God has his hand in this and is wooing me to him,but when I go to church I feel horrible. I can barely worship because I feel so guilty. I remember how beautiful my relationship was with God and I know as soon as I quit kratom I’ll have that back. Please pray for me

Hope you’re doing ok brother! Definitely look into deliverance prayers against any yokes that the enemy may have placed in the spiritual realm due to iniquity. Deliverance prayers are powerful! The Word is powerful and the best time to pray is midnight against any demonic influence. Felt led to say this God bless. Most times addictions are spiritual strongholds. The authority in Christ needs to be exercised against these spirits. God bless!

Thank you, it is good to know that I'm not the only one.. I have been praying for the strength to overcome my addiction, and it has become less frequent, but I fell again last night. I never thought to ask for healing or to be delivered from it. Thank you for your testimony.

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 :)

THANK YOU needed to hear that. am struggling right now ut know God wll deliver me.

Love the transparency bro. God is good! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

istll struggle and i worry about going to hell, i feel so ashamed i am not obeying God!

This gives me hope thanks

wow! praise God! what you said at 8:00 is so beautiful. I was addicted to weed for a few years. Couldn't stop as much as I tried. Finally the Lord, delivered me from it. Then I learned how deeply I was addicted to sleep. Its been 1 1/2 years of trying to overcome this bondage. Over this time I've learned how much I've used sleep to cope. God has taught me so much and I am praying for full deliverance. Your testimony is encouraging, praise God for walking with us, teaching us and pouring out his Love on us through battles and his mercy to deliver us!

Thanks 4 the word off wisdom God never leave us even tho I've turn my back on him 💯 times he never left me what a powerful and beautiful God we serve praise God thanks for sharing

Im crying watching this. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your testimony. And thank God for what He has done in your life. Im literally struggling with this right now, and its causing me shame & guilt, keeping me from answering my calling because i feel unworthy every time i smoke. Im 23, smoked weed since 2024. Single mother of two. I LONGGGGG to get closer to God EACH DAY, and live the life in full that HE planned for me to live. And i KNOW weed and my impatience is whats hindering me right now. The weed doesn’t help with my impatience either btw, lol. But all in all, your testimony was BEYOND relatable and so empowering. Also convicting lol, I love conviction because it holds me accountable to the sin i try justifying so thanks! I am so proud of you. Ive never seen your channel before but Im definitely subscribing & in full support. Thanks for YOUR YES to your calling. The part when you said you realized what you do affects those that look up to you, I FELT THAT! And that’s exactly what I may needed to hear to help me just submit and quit cold turkey. Please pray for my strength if anyone is reading this. 🥺💕✝️

I am addicted to drugs

JJ I NEED HELP,I pray and pray but I keep using. I know it's a choice. I admit to God that I must love dope more and what I need from him is to love him more than the dope. Do you have an email? I need a mentor so bad. I'm so afraid of going to hell because of this bondage I keep myself in. I don't know how to change my mindset or allow him to change me. If I died today would I go to hell if I'm still using?

Need help

The gospel is that Jesus Christ (The Eternally Existing Son of God, God The Son, Savior, Christ) promises eternal life ONCE you believe he died for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the 3rd day! Once Saved Always Saved! Matthew 7:21 KJV: Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the 👉WILL OF MY FATHER👈 which is in heaven. John 6:40 KJV: 40 And this is the 👉WILL OF HIM👈 that sent me, that everyone which seeth the son, and 👉BELIEVETH ON HIM👈, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

For me it’s porn
