Jesus --- The Chain Breaker

Such a complex and complicated problem as addiction should not have a solution, but it does.
Weed....
Oxy's.....
Meth.....
Liquor or beer....
You can insert whatever you want to as the drug or drink of choice....
The solution never changes.
More than just quitting....
More than just stopping your using...
This solution is a change that will affect every atom of your being.
This solution is one that goes beyond the boundaries and laws of this world, and stretches beyond into infinity.

Such a solution is scoffed at by many....
Doubted by multitudes....
and embraced by few.
But the few who do, are changed forever.
What is the solution?
Not "what" but rather "who!"
Jesus....
I told you that you would think me crazy.
Could it be that your view of this Jesus has been tainted by church or denomination?
Could it be that you haven't really considered the real Jesus?
Not the one created by man...

Those Twelve Steps I write about in this blog are mere exercises in futility without Jesus as your Higher Power. Without Him, those steps are carried out in your own strength and ability. Here again we come to the age old conundrum. "I can't be the problem and the solution." That is why the search for a Power greater than ourselves is the key to our recovery.  Philippians 2:9 - Therefore, God also has highly exalted Him (Jesus) and given Him the name which is above every name. 

Philippians 2:13 - For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Reckon what kind of work God is wanting to do inside me that would require His will, but at the same time would create great pleasure for Him? I think maybe it would be the incredible "Genesis Creation" act of recovery. A taking back by this Higher Power of everything that sin has warped and destroyed inside of us.

Be sure to listen to the video posted at the top of this entry.....
IT is the Power of Jesus alone that can break every chain of addiction and sin in our lives.

God on you...
