“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,

he is a new creation;

old things have passed away;

behold, all things have become new.”

2 Cor 5:17

May God bless your brand new life when you come to Jesus!

Yes…those who end their addiction become ‘new’ too!

Our God is a God of many second chances.

All addiction is, is sin…a bad choice…a substitute for HIM gone wrong;  there are NO substitutes for God.

He understands your search.  He hopes your own personal road leads back to Him.

I’m Not Your Favorite Person

As an Addictions Coach and a pioneer of changing the face of addiction in coming against the 12 Steppers, I’m not your favorite person coming down the street.  Users question why I say hello, families draw back thinking I’m going to give them the Rescue talk, and for the few that addiction doesn’t affect, they’re afraid I’ll suspect that they’re ‘addicts’.  I guess I can’t win a popularity award around anyone these days…except for those who I coach through their darkness and who come out the other side in victory.  It is for those lives that I’m here.

If you see me in your neighborhood, don’t bolt; just talk to me.  I’m there because you need to be rescued.  I’m there to stop you from dying.  I’m there because God saved my life from a terrible addiction in order to save yours.  It’s not easy…just worth it.  You’re worth it.

The healing obtained through God is forever…without steps…without wagons…without being labeled an addict ever again.  God brings freedom and hope.

Your Best Friend Is Your Worst Nightmare

Posted by Bill and Dina on 04/12/2012
Posted in: ADDICTION, FAITH, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, Uncategorized. Tagged: addict, addiction, death from addiction, drugs are not your friends, Friendship, health, relationship, Self-esteem. Leave a Comment

Have you ever made friends rather quickly?  At first you think you have so much in common until you soon realize you have nothing to share.  The ‘appearance’ of your new friend fooled you and the qualities you saw in the beginning don’t even exist.  It was some deception.  This often happens in basic friendships and in dating relationships as well.  If you think back, you would have fought to your death with anyone who told you differently;  however, the pain was dreadful when you found out it wasn’t everything you thought it was.  It was a violation…a betrayal.  You were hurt because the friendship went bad along with losing some self esteem in the mix.  You figured your radar was correct when it was truly off.  You’re left to pick up the pieces of your heart as well as feeling some self confidence was lost.

What else does the above scenario remind you of?  If you’ve been in an addiction,  your best best friend – your drugs and/or alcohol – gave you up.  They lied to you.  They said they would make you feel comforted and that they would rid you of your painful memories of times past.  You quickly learned that this seemingly wonderful  love affair soon became slavery and bondage that you hated…with no apparent way out.  That’s what drugs do.  They will stroke you, lie so boldly that they trick you, they will (at first) give you a false peace and calm…then, they will bite you & take your life as they take your loved ones hostages.

Please seek help. Contact us or contact someone else;  just get help for yourself or your loved one. People in addiction don’t have tomorrow;  sometimes they don’t have the next heartbeat.  Death comes without warning.

Spill Out…Fill Up…Overflow – That’s how you end Addiction

Posted by Bill and Dina on 04/10/2012
Posted in: ADDICTION, HEALING, HOT TOPICS, INTERVENTION, NO STEPS PLEASE, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, Uncategorized, WALKING WITH GOD. Tagged: 12 steps just lead to hell, addiction, addiction end, addicts no more, Bible, Christ, free freedom from addiction forever, God, Jesu, Jesus Christ, Word. 4 comments

I learned how to end addiction for those trapped in it,  by going through my own personal torture with it and by my near death from a life of addiction.  From my total breakdown, Jesus held both my hands and walked with me to my breakthrough of Victory.  Now, I walk others through it, just the way Jesus walked with me.  No…it’s not by climbing any invisible ‘steps’ or by any declaration of being ‘powerless’ (no one is powerless ever).  It’s not by getting some sponsor who is no better off than you are either.  What’s the answer?   Simple.  It’s God;  His name is Jesus.  He’s not allah or budha or some trophy or tree.  I’m speaking of the One true God…the Holy One of Israel…our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ.

The one and only change that needs to  be done in your life is to get ‘born again’ of God’s Spirit.  That simply means that you have a private chat with Jesus…ask His forgiveness for all that you have done that is displeasing to Him…and, promise to walk in His footprints for the rest of your life.  Then, do what you have promised!

THE SPILL

It’s not magic…it’s just God.  The ‘Spill Out’ portion is a proper detox which is medically supervised for your safety.  That must be done to to cleanse your body of all of the toxins brought on by the drugs and/or alcohol.  At the same time this is being done, you need to spiritually detox as well.  This is done by receiving Jesus as Lord or re-committing your life to Jesus if you once knew Him but fell away from your faith. This is a far greater ‘cleanse’ than the medical one because you are asking God to ‘cleanse’ you from all unrighteousness.  It’s not saying words that do this…it’s your words in action. It’s a full 180 degree change from  your old life to the life that God intended you to live.

FILL UP

The most important detail to all of this is that as soon as the ‘spill’ begins, you must fill up with God & His Holiness.  How?  God question.  You ‘eat’ the Bible by learning all about God’s character and how much He loves you.  Read from cover to cover.  The Bible says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever“.  With this being said, you need to learn about Him from the first book of the Bible to the last.  This is the time to fill up on God’s Word and do all that He says to do.   It’s not hard…just different from the rebellion you have been in since you were born.  After a time, this will all became second nature to you and you joy will be full.  Just as you cannot quit eating food because you will die, you cannot stop reading and learning of God or you will die spiritually and probably return to addiction and, what I call, death row.

OVERFLOW

Here’s where the rubber hits the road.  Don’t just  be filled with God…fill yourself to overflowing.  You will always be ready to face anything with Power and a Rational Mind.  “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of Power and of Love and of a Sound Mind“.  You will never fail.  Keep in your ‘overflow’ mode also by being around other true believers.  Surround yourself with people of God who will be there for you always.  In these days and times, it’s a little more difficult but very do-able.  Fellowship is vital for your health – spiritual and physical.   I have developed a fellowship which is very powerful and healing called, Addicts No More.  Come on over and have a  heart to heart.  We don’t judge you…we just hold you up and love you…just as God does.  I am in the midst of lining up a team around the US that will make available support fellowship in addition to our online from home fellowship that is in action right now.

But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their strength in the time of trouble. And the LORD shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, And save them, Because they trust in Him.” (Psalms 37:39-40)

“The LORD is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.” (Nahum 1:7)

“You, who have shown me great and severe troubles, Shall revive me again, And bring me up again from the depths of the earth. You shall increase my greatness, And comfort me on every side.” (Psalms 71:20-21)

“My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” (Psalms 73:26)

“Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, Bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, Bringing his sheaves with him.” (Psalms 126:5-6)

“For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from Him; But when He cried to Him, He heard.” (Psalms 22:24)

“The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.” (Psalms 9:9)

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all.” (Psalms 34:19)

“The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” (Psalms 18:2)

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

· “Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more” (Isaiah 54:4).

· “For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of thy peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee” (Isaiah 54:10).

· “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord” (Isaiah 54:17).

· “Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men. Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence, from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues” (Psalm 31:19-20).

· “Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye” (Psalm 32:7-8).

· “Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass” (Psalm 37:4-5).

Jesus says, in Matthew 11:28…….

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Will you come to Jesus?  He will take your addiction from you & breathe new life into your very soul.

Is is about Self Worth – or Lack of it???

There is a common thread amongst ALL those in addictions.  What is it?  Well, there’s the well known emotional pain that everyone knows about.  Then there’s the unspeakable dependence that everyone isolates as descriptive of a ‘criminal’ mind.  Hogwash!!!  So, everyone who uses is a criminal?  It’s about time that addiction is decriminalized.  Is everyone insane?

Addiction is a symptom of despair.  Let’s wake up!  If it can be properly defined, it can be successfully treated.  We need to understand addiction as a spiritual problem that demands a spiritual solution.  It’s NOT a disease and it it NOT forever…unless you will it to be so.

God liberates the addict (I use this term only for your understanding…in our treatment, we do not allow this word ever to be used.)  Jesus came to “set the captive FREE”.  This includes addiction.   If you, yourself are in an addiction, I understand it appears too hard to ask for help;  however, your alternative is a death sentence.  You matter!  Your life matters!  I will work with you if you allow me.  If you have a loved one in an addiction, contact me and we can talk.  It’s too late when you receive that ‘phone call’  telling you that you need to come to identify their body.  Today is the day!

    My ministry is helping those in the darkness of addiction. Most die because they will not turn their lives over to the true Living God, Jesus Christ The 'world' says they're 'diseased' but God says they're simply in sin. God heals addiction as he forgives all sin when you come to Him; however, the world says that addiction renders you powerless despite God saying that He gives you Power to overcome anything...yes, even addiction. The 'world' is wrong!

    The candles in the background of my blog here are for those whose lives mattered but no one told them that. As a result, they used drugs and/or alcohol and are now dead. None were criminals or hopelessly lost to a theoretical 'disease'. They were just hurting human beings with seemingly no one to turn to.

    Remember to never forget them.

    "Two are Better than One"

  • GOD says I am “the Head and Not the Tail”. Here’s how & why…

    Deuteronomy 28:1-13 says, "Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. "And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God: "Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country. "Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks. "Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. "Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. " The LORD will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. "The LORD will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the LORD your God is giving you. "The LORD will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the LORD your God and walk in His ways. "Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they shall be afraid of you. "And the LORD will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers to give you. "The LORD will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. "And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them."
