1 | who is pure from sin | 1 John 1:9 | Hank | 38078 | ||
Norrie, I know a man, well and personally, who was saved. But he was an alcoholic. He did not recover from his addiction in the twinkling of an eye. After he was saved, he had relapses and got as drunk as a fiddler. He would repent and vow never to touch liquor again. In another week or two, he hit the sauce again. This pattern continued for nearly a year after he became a Christian. According to his own testimony, he found release in this way: He said he finally came to the stark realization of what the real problem was -- that it was always he who vowed, he who promised, he who willed, that he would not touch liquor again. So he prayed. He confessed that he was powerless over alcohol. He quit making promises he could not keep and totally surrendered his will to the will of God, asking God to take over every aspect of his life. He gave himself up in total, absolute surrender to God. He found the answer; God healed him. He has not touched a drop of booze in over 15 years; he is now a minister, and a very effective one, in service to Jesus Christ. --Hank | ||||||
