1 | what is your point? | Gen 1:12 | Jeshuafreak | 55114 | ||
Thank you ...and no.. I am pretty sure that I need spport from my wife, my Christian brothers and all of you. Please pray for me to have the strength from God to deny my flesh. There is no temptetion but that which is common to man.. He will not let us face the temptation w/out also giving us a means of escape. There is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. I am a blood washed pilgrim and I am a soldier of Christ .. Lord keep me growing into the fullness of the man You want me to be . Thank YOu Lord. Amen | ||||||

Yes, support from others is a good thing. However, your wife and friends are not professionals qualified to help you confront your deeper issues in a meaningful way. This takes special training. I've read some of your other posts and from what you describe, you are in deep and long. Don't be offended at what I'm about to say, but in all probability, your wife may be enabling your addiction and she may need counseling to understand how this could be possible. NA is good, if you sincerely work the program with a mature sponsor and don't just attend meetings and listen. But more importantly, you really need to have your program under the supervision of a qualified professional substance abuse counselor that you meet with in addition to your sponsor. Once you have completed the program, then you will be ready to be salt and light for others, perhaps by being a sponsor to them. Stop putting it off. Make an appointment. Go. Maybe even take your wife. How many reasons can you list not to do this? If you're like most addicts, you can find lots of reasons not to. This is the one reason you must. Its clear you have submitted yourself to Christ, now submit yourself to another person who can hold you accountable and help you constructively overcome what you have not yet dealt with. Clearly, you are highly intelligent, but this can be a stumbling block. There is such a thing as being too smart for your own good. I'm a good example :) Parable |

"NA is good, if you sincerely work the program with a mature sponsor and don't just attend meetings and listen. But more importantly, you really need to have your program under the supervision of a qualified professional substance abuse counselor that you meet with in addition to your sponsor." *******Too much new age funk in NA. They don't take to kindly to Christians,,especially out spoken Christians like myself. There is a group called overcomers that meets on Mondays at 7pm at my church.***** "Once you have completed the program, then you will be ready to be salt and light for others, perhaps by being a sponsor to them. " ******Yes we call them mentors too..and you can find alot of them in a good well balanced protestant church**** "Its clear you have submitted yourself to Christ, now submit yourself to another person who can hold you accountable and help you constructively overcome what you have not yet dealt with." ****Yes it is a slippery slope this thing called sin..**** Parable you are truly a brother thank you and God bless you. -Josh |

Josh, Where ever I am, I'll praise Him! When ever I can, I'll praise Him! For the LORD has been so good to me! I will praise the name of JESUS! I'll lift up the name of JESUS! Blessed be the name of the LORD our GOD now and forever more! Since this thread is not appearing on the home page, I would like to take time to pray with and for you and myself if I may. "Dear kind and righteous, wonderful, merciful, and loving Heavenly Father. We thank thee oh God for your Son Jesus Christ who thought not of Himself, but gave His life for our sins, and, for the sins of the world, blessed be His name forever. We thank you oh Lord for creating us in thy image. We thank you Lord for givings us a body to live in on this earth as it hath pleased thee. We thank you oh Lord for giving us the abilities that you have givien us. Thank you oh Lord for being merciful to us. We pray Father that you would bless us, my brother and I, with the strength of your Holy Spirit, to do thy will oh God, to please thee and not our flesh. We pray Father that you would impart your Holy Spirit to us Father so that we would not lean on our own understanding, but, follow thy leading through the Holy Spirit. We pray Father that you would instill and imbed your Holy Word in our heart and in our mind and in our soul so that every thought and imagination would be challenged and brought under the obedience of Jesus Christ, our Lord and our Savior. In the blessed name of your only begotten son, Jesus Christ, Amen. We love you Lord our God" Blessings to you Josh! My e-mail is dave@gowithats.com Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |
