About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"ADDITIONS CAN BE HEALED" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
ADDICTIONS CAN BE HEALED
FOR YOU THAT NEED HELP, I CAN DO THAT. ARE YOU AN ADDICT? I WAS ADDICTED TO SEVERAL THINGS BUT JESUS HEALED ME. MOST OF YOU KNOW THAT I WAS AN ALCOHOLIC AND ALCOHOLIC ANONYMOUS DIDN'T REALLY HELP ME. GAMBLING WAS ANOTHER ADDICTION OF MINE. I WENT TO GAMBLERS ANONYMOUS UNTIL I DECIDED I WOULD PLAY POKER FOR A LIVING AND DID FOR ABOUT FOUR YEARS.
SMOKING, NATURALLY, WAS ANOTHER ADDICTION THAT WENT ALONG PERFECTLY WITH DRINKING AND GAMBLING. I WENT THROUGH THREE PACKS A DAY PLUS ABOUT FIVE CIGARS. THE INSIDES OF MY HOUSE AND CAR WERE YELLOW FROM ALL THE SMOKE. ALCOHOL WAS THE WORST BUT I HAD A LOT OF HELP.
ADDICTION IS A TERRIBLE THING AND I SYMPATHIZE WITH ANYONE WHO IS HAVING THAT PROBLEM. THE ONLY HELP I CAN GIVE YOU IS THAT YOU HAVE TO WANT TO STOP WHATEVER IT IS YOU ARE DOING. AND, IF YOU ARE REALLY WANTING TO DO THIS, YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF THAT ENVIRONMENT. YOU CAN'T GO TO A POKER GAME JUST TO WATCH OR TO A BAR AND DRINK SODA. IT WON'T WORK, I KNOW
.
I COULDN'T GET OUT OF THE DRINKING ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE I WORKED IN A MARINA AND SOLD BEER. I WOULD QUIT FOR A FEW WEEKS AND THOUGHT I HAD IT WHIPPED BUT WHEN I DRANK THAT FIRST BEER, I WENT TO THE ABC LIQUOR STORE THAT EVENING FOR A QUART OF VODKA AND I WAS RIGHT BACK ON IT. YOU JUST CAN'T BE AROUND IT ANYMORE AT A HOME CHURCH MEETING ONE NIGHT, THE PEOPLE PRAYED FOR ME AND JESUS HEALED ME THAT NIGHT. IT WAS AS IF I HAD NEVER HAD A DRINK BEFORE. THAT WAS OVER 40 YEARS AGO AND I HAVEN'T HAD A DRINK SINCE.
POKER WAS NOT AS HARD BECAUSE I JUST STOPPED ASSOCIATING WITH THE POKER PLAYERS AND STOPPED GOING TO THE DOG TRACK WHERE YOU COULD PLAY POKER LEGALLY
.
SMOKING WAS EASY TO KICK, WITH THE HELP OF THE LORD. MANY YEARS AGO, AS WE WERE ON OUR WAY HOME FROM CHURCH, I LIT UP A CIGARETTE AND MY SON, JOSHUA, ASKED ME WHY I SMOKED. I TOLD HIM BECAUSE I WANTED TO AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT I DO!!
THE NEXT DAY I WAS COMING OUT OF OCALA ON A SALES CALL AND THE LORD ASK ME WHY I SMOKED. I WASN'T AS DIRECT WITH HIM. I HAD ONE CIGARETTE IN MY MOUTH AND ONE IN THE ASHTRAY. RIGHT THEN I DECIDED IT WAS TIME SO I PROMISED HIM THAT I WOULD NEVER SMOKE ANOTHER CIGARETTE OR CIGAR AGAIN. THAT HAS BEEN A LIFETIME AGO AND I HAVE KEPT MY PROMISE. HE HONORED MY PROMISE AND I NEVER HAD THE FIRST WITHDRAWAL AND HAVE NEVER WANTED ONE SINCE. THANK YOU JESUS!
WITHOUT JESUS I COULD HAVE NEVER BEEN HEALED FROM THOSE ADDICTIONS AND YOU CAN BE HEALED, TOO. YOU FIRST HAVE TO WANT TO DO THIS AND THEN YOU NEED TO GET REAL PERSONAL WITH JESUS AND JUST TELL HIM YOU NEED HIS HELP. HE IS THERE FOR YOU AND CAN MAKE IT EASY FOR YOU. THE GOOD THING ABOUT HAVING HIM AS YOUR SPONSOR, HE SEES YOU ALL THE TIME AND YOU CANNOT LIE TO HIM. HE LOVES YOU THOUGH AND DOES NOT WANT YOU TO RUIN YOUR LIFE OR HURT YOUR BODY. THAT BODY IS HIS TEMPLE AND HE WANTS YOU TO TAKE CARE OF IT. TRUST HIM
.
I SHARE ALL OF THIS IN HOPES IT WILL HELP SOMEONE WITH A PROBLEM. I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH AND I LOVE YOU AND WANT YOU HEALED. I WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
