Crackheads
Its so way cool when someone who suffers from crack gives it up and finds Jesus. I love to share the victories with people we seen healed. We have had so many that have amazing testimonies of being delivered from that wretched stuff. I hate the stuff so bad cause there are some who can’t give it up for whatever reason. Folks that gave it up and then fall back again, and again. We will never stop trying to help folks who want to quit. People that sacrifice their families, jobs, and careers to follow that crack track. I hate it cause i am the one left dealing with all the stuff that person leaves behind. I have never met a crack addict that has not said to me i wish i had never started. NEVER STARTED. Man there are so many things that will mess you up but this one is a monster that devours all who enter its gates. The devestation is jinormous..my son made that name up which means bigger than enormous. My only prayer and hope is that something i say or do will help someone somehow give it up for good.

The words of God come out of you so naturally, and we know that Isaiah 55:11 says: so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which it was intended!
That’s awesome! God’s Awesome! You’re awesome!

I’ve battled this paticular drug since the age of 14, I am now 37. LONG TIME!!!! If I new then what I now know …..ya you guessed it. RUN!!!! DON’T LOOK BACK!!! I never thought I would have lowered myself the way I have 4 this drug. You name it ,I did it. The misery I have caused myself and others is undescribable. And over and over I did it. MADDNESS. I just wanted the pain to go away, just please GO! The scit you guy’s did a few wks. ago was soooo very powerful. Ya know, Jesus dancing w/ the girl and then here comes satan and all the temptations. Every scene was me …..drinking ,drugging , cutting on myself, not good enough , not pretty enough, purging, OD’s and suicide attempt’s. The list goes on. I wan’t freedom. FREEDOM!!! The pain of molestation, and physical, and emotional and verbal abuse led me on a path to self destruct. The lie of “your not nothing and will never be nothing” was my truth for a long time. Even after the abusers were out of my life I picked up where they had left off. I am now trying to see myself as GOD see’s me, it is difficult BUT….. I wan’t it so bad I wan’t to truly believe that I am God’s property and not a piece of trash. Help me LORD to believe. Pray for us church because I know there are active addict’s in our church and I know the pain and the lie’s we tell ourselves. We gotta retrain our brain. Don’t be scared to admit what’s up with you. “Oh what will they think?” If they know God hopefully you”ll get a hug and NO JUDGEMENT and HELP. I pray that GOD removes these shackles that bind me . 4 today I’m sober….just 4 today-tommorrow will take care of itself

DOC……….. Man ,Sunday was a powerful message. Watcha say -”a renewal of my mind ” and “yeilding to the guidance of the spirit” POWERFUL STUFF! Oh ya the best one of all “isanity…doing the same thing expecting a different result” Ya that’s me to a tee. My addictions and the lies I tell myself, “this time will be different” INSANITY- “I can handle it” INSANITY- “just one more time” INSANITY. I can go on and on with all my crap but that’s just what they are a bunch of B.S. excuses ,INSANITY. I do wan’t to be free! I think I might just have a chance. God does know who I am and I am choosing to believe that he actually cares about a recovering crack head like me “recovering from a lot of other stuff to. I think he is big enoughe to handle it, huh? yep

Not only does God know you He loves you and has already begun your healing, “confess your sins to one another so that you might be healed.” The opposite of insanity is a sound mind, if you ask God will give you a sound mind that will no longer be tossed to and fro by every wind and doctrine. He will fill the hole in your heart and soul that you try to fill with addiction. Ask and you will receive, speak to the mountain of pain and confusion in your life and it shall be cast into the midst of the sea as far as the east is from the west. May the shalom (peace) of God be with you.

You know there are so many churches that preach that they accept everyone no matter how they dress, look, smell, or what their bad habbits are. I have founbd that in so many cases, they really do not. At Cross-Way, I see this is really true. Because of this reason, I can tell you that I used to be addicted to cocaine. It almost caused me to loose my family. By the grace of God, I am no longer using and have not for over 15 years. Thank you Pastor Doug and the congregation for making me and my family feel so welcome in this church!
