God broke my weed addiction after a 7 day fast I give all praise and thanks to the LORD
Did you drink water during your fast?
@@Stealth-im7ldi did a 7 day fast from sunrise to sunset i didnt have any water during the fast but at sunset i ate a meal and drank water
@@Stealth-im7ld but i also want to say my motives was to deny my flesh and get closer to God i already desired to not want to smoke anymore but that was just added bonus
I did a 24 hour fast and I quit drinking, and smoking. Thank you Jesus
I’m one day in. Pray for me.
I must say. If there is one thing that is threatening the believer’s soul in 2020, it is the entertainment. If we read our bibles as much as we watched our TV programs things would look MUCH different.

While trying to hide my addiction, Loneliness became another battle to fight, while fighting my addiction. Im still praying and fighting not giving up. Please pray for me.
Melvin, you don’t need to be lonely because the body of Christ (the church) has many members. Join a ministry and you will make many Godly friends.
I’m fighting an addiction trying to let it go but it’s so hard oh but Jesus. I know he will see me through.
You’re not alone. I am in the same. Stay so close to God. Know your weaknesses. Never cease to pray. Pray and talk to Our Father in Heaven in Christ Jesus by The Holy Spirit.
I have been fighting my addiction for years, I would do good for a bit then fall again, im a meth addict, started when I was 19, im now 61, I have hurt my children, my family. I was rapped at 7 yrs old, my mother was abusive verbally and physically. I could not handle my life, it just hurt all the time. I reached for drugs instead of reaching for God, didn’t believe Jesus could love me or forgive me. I’m tired of this life, I finally gave it all to God and I am going to get baptized on June 12th, I know this will not be an easy battle but I believe in god and Jesus will finally set me free of Satan stronghold on me. Even day I need to pray to him, I understand that no one in my family will believe me and I get that, but I know if I continue to walk with Jesus, he will heal my relationships and they will come to see that this is for real. No more lying, deceiving, im so done. Thank you God. ❤
Please pray for me.
I was addicted to crack cocaine for 25 years but i went to a rehab center for 2 years and after graduating i continue bear witness that although it was impossible for me to break this stronghold but God walks and talks with me and i with him.I am celebrating my 19th anniversary of being clean & sober. Thank you Jesus for accepting my confession of my sins, and my plea for forgiveness through baptism by water and tried by the baptism of the holy spirit .
I am struggling ..
I have a question? Did you rid urself of dining before you got baptized. Otherwise did you get sober before you got baptized?
Thank you for sharing. It gives me hope for myself and people I love.
I just got myself into it. I’m struggling to quit before it’s too late
Please give us advice. Congratulations to u! I want to have sobriety bad but keep failing help!
I have been a drug addict for 26 years. I am so thankful for this video, as I’m going to work through it even if it takes weeks. I Pray that Jesus will help me to beat this nightmare I live in. I’m a prisoner and so desperate to be set Free 🙏🙏💕💞
I’ll be praying for you. Get a good support system. Stay away from people who are using. God be with you
I’ll definitely pray for you…I’ve used alcohol and drugs the majority of my life. However I was able to get off alcohol and stopped using any drug that I was on cold turkey. Alcohol was a huge battle but now its not but it wasn’t easy. But when I got addicted to opioids, that was another ball game. Still is but I’m 5 days sober. Drugs have always been in my life so its hard seeing a life totally without. Especially when u deal with other issues
@@blueberryblowpop2183 stay strong
@@Stephanie-bi4hp Most definitely…. Thank you….much needed
You gonna be set free
I’m battling with alcohol and cigarettes. In the name of Jesus I shall overcome.
There are also other steps to take
Like simply reading your bible and practicing it. The power of God’s word will break that addiction.
Please come back and testify
Me to
@@batiakingston8469 dear sister, there a other things to do to be set free.
Daily study of God’s words and obedience to it has power to set you free from every bondage.
If you’ll practice this, the Lord will set you free.
God bless you
Be freed in the name of Jesus amen
You will conquer in the name of Jesus ❤️❤️
God delivered me from four major addictions in my life. These were overnight healings. First in my 30’s it was cocaine it so bad I would wake up with basket ball size blood stains on my pillow. I got real with God and He heard my cry. In my 40’s it was meth it was so bad I got addicted to porn and I have only 8 teeth left. I got real with God and He heard my cry. In my 50’s and 60’s it was alcohol and it was the worst of all, doing shot’s of vodka by 8 am every day. I fell down concrete steps and cracked my head open. Taken to the ER the CT scan showed my brain floating in alcohol which explained why every time I turned my head the world kept on spinning. I got real with God and He heard my cry. That was 1,745 days ago. The devil has been trying to kill me my whole life. All four addictions were taken from me over night and now I live for God because evidently He has a plan for me. When you get real with God He gets real with you and will deliver you from ALL your trouble. All four addictions I woke up the next day as if I had never done those things and that is miracle transforming power. Thank you Lord for saving me I owe you everything I have left in life. If you seek deliverance from the devil’s arrows get real with God and He will listen to your cry. God bless and enjoy the day 🙏🙌💕
Its important to understand – God uses everything for those who love HIM. Not everything that makes you unconfutable in your life God will take away. In fact – maybe God gave you that addiction to carve you out of stone. And in the end it will make you stronger, better person.
May I ask what prayer you did, amazing well done, I have substance addiction and alcohol and I know the devil is haunting me I believe that Jesus is the answer but I can’t do this without Jesus I need some advice on what prayer I need to focus on, thanks and bless you 🙏
Search for scriptures in the Bible on what you dealing with talk to God and ask the Holy Spirit to lead you in the word of God read Psalm 34 many affiliation of the righteous but the Lord delivers them out of them all In Jesus Name ❤😂🙏🙏🌺
Hallelujah wow this made me cry
@@dannyj7618 I don’t believe God Gives people addiction to things that are sinful
I have been struggling with pornography ever since I was 8 years old. No I was never sexually abused growing up. Rather, I was exposed to pornography when I found my father’s collection in our home. I’m 31 soon to be 32 and I still struggle with it. I have never been able to have long lasting romantic relationships because of this. I’ve never told anyone this but I feel the need to confess. I pray that if someone reads this May you please pray for me. May we touch and agree so God can hear our prayers. Amen 🙏🏾 ❤
It’s done 💛
The same sis after being exposed to it in my mothers collections. GOD will save us as long we open up and confess his will not ours because we can’t do it without him 🙏🏾.
As a man, Watching pornography beats having a false rape charge laid against you when a sexual encounter with a woman doesn’t last as long as she hoped🙄
I have a solution coming directly from God. I’ve being healed a few years ago by using what GOD instructed me to with his word.
Thank you for sharing that was very brave of you. Praying for strength for you to endure and your testimony does strengthen me and helps to know I’m not the only one.
I used meth since I was 18 , I’m 43 , been on the Good sober path for the past 8 years give or take , I love you lord for giving me more than 1 chance to get it right…. 🤟🏾
Aman
If anyone gets to read this I will be going to detox my self of fentanyl tonight… I hope god forgives me for all my sins and mistakes I’m so worried as I had heart failure before from withdrawals.
