Addiction - Stories

There is FREEDOM!

About a month ago, I came to this website with a heavy broken heart. I read the testimonies and realized that there were not many victory stories. So here is one :

I was addicted to cutting, as in razors, knives, scrapping, slamming my head into things when I was sad, and all that. I was very comfortable in being the victim and living in pain. I have been hard and numb for several years now and God has woken me back up! I went to the Ramp in Hamilton Alabama (www.theramp.org you should check it out) and I had an encounter with God so great that I am never going back to my hardness. I am forever going to live for Him. I have given my entire self to Him.

I also was able to forgive my mom for some things she did when I was young (we call them harmonal hell days :) ) She was also there at the Ramp, so we were both changed and I was able to tell her that I forgave her and asked her forgiveness for hating her for these years. Now I love her so much and we have a magnificent relationship.

I was also addicted to masturbation because my fantasy world seemed so much better than my real world because I was in so much emotional pain. Now, I am completely free from that.

If you put your love in God and completely turn yourself over to Him, ask Him to fill you with him, there will be no more room for your addictions and pain! He is so glorious! He doesn't want you to live in pain. We are His reformers and the devil knows this so he is trying with all his might to attack God's people and those that are called to serve Him, which is everyone. So fight against the devil and fight for God! Fill up with Him and everything will fade away because sin cannot stand in His prescence.

Praise be to God!
