Help 4 You!

To my friends around the world,
  So, there's a highly venomous Egyptian cobra loose in the Brooklyn Zoo!  They think it is contained in the zoo, but can't say for sure.  Friend, I would be out of there sooooooo fast!
  Before I go any further, at the bottom of this blog is a video of Cherie Peters who was on the streets at 13.  She suffered many forms of abuse & addictions, and she has been delivered!  At the right, the top link button is her ministry site, and you can contact her.  There's help for you or your loved one! You will be blessed by taking a listen!!!!!!! 
  You know, addictions are kind of like that cobra.  We don't like to advertise them, but instead usually try to hide them.  They can be very toxic to our bodies, our minds, our emotions, our relationships, our jobs, our finances and most of all our relationship with God.  We all have "stuff" we have to let God handle and heal.  Addiction can take on many forms.  There are sexual addictions, perfectionism, workaholism, legal & illegal substance abuse, pornography, hunger for power, addictions to gossip, money, gambling, being critical of others, food addictions, and the list goes on.  God has to deliver all of us from this venom called sin.  That's why Jesus came.  Ephesians 4:7,8 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. Wow, Jesus already made your captivity captive!  He's just waiting for you to ask for help, so He can intervene and deliver you!  We ALL need His healing!  He is healing me and I praise Him for it!!!!!!! 
  I had a close family member who went through Meth addiction, but God delivered that family member and they have been clean for 5 years!  It is hard to watch them going through the process,  as some people disappear for a time, may wreck vehicles, may go to jail, lose their family, or be absent on holidays, or you just witness their physical, emotional or mental decline.  It is that much more wonderful seeing them freed by God's grace!  God is able to heal from any addiction or situation!                                                                    There is a God shaped vacuum inside each of us, and nothing else can fill it.  If you want real adventure, give your life to Jesus!  Try a mission trip!  True adventure is when you can reach out to humanity and supply a need where self doesn't enter the picture.  True adventure is asking God for a miracle, and then seeing it happen!  Is there anything adventurous that you have done that even compares with the parting of the Red Sea, or the sun standing still, or the dead waking up when Jesus commanded them to?  Jesus is alive, real and awesome, for you!!!!!!!                                                          
  As God speaks in Isaiah 42:7,8, Jesus was sent, " "To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, [and] them that sit in darkness out of the prison house,  I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images,"  Luke 1:37, For with God nothing shall be impossible.   In John 10:10 Jesus said,"The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly."  Jesus urgently wants to heal you and give you peace and assurance in your heart.  Why don't you give your heart to Him. It doesn't matter where you've been or where you are, His love is still the same.  There's nothing you can do to make God love you more, and there's nothing you can do to make Him love you less.  Don't believe the destroyer.  It's NOT too late, and you haven't gone too far!  God sometimes allows pain so we will see our need of Him, but there is a blessing there because God always turns around for good what satan means for evil, and allows us to help others in the same situation, at some point.  God throws the pain back in the enemy's face every time, if we ask!
