Download or read book Addiction God S Healing written by Duly Noted and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was just your run-of-the-mill alcoholic who God saw fit to rescue! For close to forty years, I struggled with addiction, and as time went on, it always got worse quicker and got more intense after any period of clean time. It was not until this unprofessional writer put God like I never had him before in my life and also after a proven twelve-step program that I was able to get and stay soberone day at a time. I was bankrupt in all waysfinancially, emotionally, mentally (at times I couldnt remember my name), and almost spiritually. I turned a perfectly good life into a perfect messby choice. Why? I ended up at a few homeless shelters. Family and friends were asking (begging) me to get out of my hometown, Buffalo, New York, because I was going to die as the whole city turned into a people, places, and things place that people are warned about in recovery. Today I tell God, people at recovery meetings, family, and friends, I have the best life of anybody I know, and I believe it! God gets and deserves all the glory, all the honor, and all the praise that my family and friends give to me. God blessed me with one grandchild (daughter) and another one on the way. At recovery meetings, they say, Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path. That is so true! According to Matthew 6:33, Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added onto you. Thank you! God bless you! Glenn

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meaningful Change is Based upon Something Much Stronger than Our Own Self-Will... When we make the decision to change, we often do it because we are sick and tired of the life that we have been living. That choice is usually based on an earnest desire to do things differently; however, under our own strength, it doesn't always work out that way. God is in the change business. He has the ability to make all things work together for the good of those that place their faith in Him. God promises us that He can and will heal us through His Holy Spirit... From the Author... When most people hear the word recovery, they first think about overcoming addiction to drugs and alcohol. While an important part of the process of overcoming addiction, true recovery is for all of us who are tired of anything that may be destroying our lives. It is for all of us who want to stop living in grief, fear, anxiety, guilt and shame. It is for all of us who want to separate ourselves from the issues of the past. And it is for those of us who want to turn our will and our life over to a sovereign God who loves and forgives us. Our hope is that through this study will help you to strengthen your faith and grow closer to Him. Reviews..."Raw, life-changing and inspired, Kerby and McCraigh connect us to the power that changes lives." -- Dean Angell, Senior Pastor, Lakeview Church, Canada "No matter how badly we've messed up our lives, this book shows we don't have to be alone". -- Judy (Mrs. Larry) Burkett "Awesome book! I have been in recovery since the mid-80s. I have checked out different Christian recovery books, but I really like this the best. It is written very plainly with a clear message of biblical truth. One of the things that I most like about it is that it is not oriented to any particular addiction. Instead, it is written more from a perspective that we all struggle in life and this workbook applies to whatever your issues are. It is a good book for everyone...for those who recognize their brokenness and for those who don't! For those who are churched and for those who are not. It has a really comforting message and points us to the love of God. Jim shows how God can bring healing and restoration to broken lives. And more importantly, they show that He can use us even now...even in the midst of our brokenness. God does not expect us to clean up to come to Him. He wants us to come to Him and allow Him to clean us up. I highly recommend this workbook!" --- Abigail Wolfer, Indiana "Twelve Healing Words Help Readers Remain Close to God Through Difficult Times... Beginning with its compelling cover that touches a remote part of your soul, "The Power of Brokenness" aims to help readers grow closer to God through twelve special "healing" words. These words (some examples include "denial," "trust," "forgiveness," and "vigilance") deal with faith, action, and growth and help us move past the fear and anxiety of the past into a future of hope and everlasting life. In a conversational tone, this book presents a unique spiritual study of these common (and a few not-so-everyday) words that we rarely spend time thinking deeply about. Useful advice is presented in easy-to-digest chunks that can be applied to our lives." --- Christina M. Downs, author of Simply Balanced: Bible Contradictions Teach Balanced Living "Wonderful Biblical Resource for 12 Step Recovery... This workbook is clearly laid out and explains in detail how to effectively work the 12 Steps. Each aspect of the Steps is discussed using clear Biblical references and principles. Excellent for individual or group use." --- S. O. Brennan Tequesta, FL

Download or read book Ashes to Gold written by Dawn M. Berger and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-09-19 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Hurting People Looking for Love, Hope and Healing God created us and to truly know ourselves we need His enlightenment for the answers as to why we do what we do. I thought I knew who I was. Yet, without a relationship with our creator self-discovery takes the journey of a lifetime, with some never figuring it out. Do you want to wait until the end of your lifetime to understand yourself, or worse yet never know? Or do you, right now, want to start a journey that takes so much courage, to know who you are? It took me many years of pain before I started on a path to the light to begin to know who I am. I didn't know I needed light to get the answers nor did I know I had any darkness within me. All I learned was nothing of what I really needed to help me cope with life, that I thought I had already mastered. . I didn't know knowing my dark side could let the light in. I thought I already was a good person. But good is an opinion. My self-discovery led to His enlightenment of what love and sexual addiction is and that I was a love and sex addict. I wasted over 20 years thinking my truth was that I was a girl who was unlucky in love. The hardest part about self-discovery is being open to it. You have to be open to God's truth about who you ACTUALLY are. It's the only way to heal and transform into a life without self-inflicted pain. This book is for hurting people looking for direction to find hope, healing and love. For we all have pain but for most we choose to bury it and not feel it, whether we are aware of this or not. This book isn't for everyone. Only those brave enough, willing to turn around and face the sun. Lunar moths are attracted to the moon as a source of light and they signify rebirth and new beginnings. Because they gravitate towards the light in the darkness of the night, the lunar moths are seen as a symbol of spiritual transformation, of heightened awareness, and striving towards truth. "Perhaps the reason why Peter and not John was the chosen as the head of the Church was because he fell and, therefore, understood human weakness- Suffering may be sent to us because we have been too narrow and selfish in our view of it, and also to prepare us for our work in helping others in trouble. The widow can sympathize with the widower; the poor show most kindness to the poor. The experience of the prostration of a great illness enables a person to understand and help sick people. Sorrow can thus become a talent to be used for the good of others by being invested in sympathy." -Bishop Fulton J. Sheen You already know your truth about who you think you are. Do you want to know how to find out God's truth as to who you really are? After all he holds the illuminated key to unlock the door to your new beginning. Are you ready to let the journey begin? "We can do no great things; only small things with great love. -Mother Teresa

Download or read book Healing Is a Choice written by Stephen Arterburn and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2011-11-07 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DO YOU WANT TO GET WELL? The power to heal—physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually—is in God’s hands. But the choice to be healed is yours. Everyone, at some level, needs healing. You may have prayed for healing many times, for many years. Perhaps you have lived with your brokenness so long that you have become accustomed to it. Maybe you wonder just when God is going to take all the hurt away. He can. But you also must choose to let the hurt go and let the healing begin. In this special edition of Healing Is a Choice, author Stephen Arterburn offers a unique combination of book and workbook, outlining ten choices crucial to receiving healing. Embracing these choices means rejecting the lies we often tell ourselves. These are not hoops God requires you to jump through to earn your miracle; they form, instead, the journey He desires for you. He can—and will—walk with you. But you must put one foot in front of the other and choose to let the hurt go and let the healing begin. “His Word affirms that God wants us to experience His healing, but many times we make choices that stand in the way. Healing Is a Choice is a helpful resource that lays out the path of healing God’s way.” — JACK HAYFORD Founding pastor, The Church on the Way, Van Nuys, CA “When we look back at the past turns and twists in the pathways of our lives, we can see significant choices we made, which helped create the lives we have now. Stephen Arterburn has provided us with a guide for making the right decisions today to provide a redemptive path for tomorrow.” —JOHN TOWNSEND Coauthor of the bestseller Boundaries “I am asking you to give up your life as you know it so that you can fi nd the life God has for you. Take hold of your future today and make the choices that will lead to your healing.” —STEPHEN ARTERBURN “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." —Psalm 147:3

Download or read book By The Power Of God written by Elizabeth Brehm and published by . This book was released on 2018-04-25 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Have you ever seen the pain in the eyes of a parent after a family or recovery group meeting? It's heart-wrenching! Really? Tell a parent there's nothing they can do for their child and the chances are against them for their child's recovery. As a mother, my heart goes out to them. And as a Christian, this is contrary to my faith-THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE!" -Elizabeth Brehm When Elizabeth first met her loved one a little over ten years ago, she did not know he suffered with the disease of addiction. Believing from the beginning that God brought this good man into her life, she had no idea of the path through addiction they would undertake together. She became a woman alone, searching for an understanding of addiction and the tools to help her loved one out of addiction. A woman unaware of the effects this addiction had on her. A woman who eventually sees the evil and turns to the One true constant in her life-God and the Catholic faith-and prays and utilizes the Church's great store of resources to battle for her loved one and eventually, herself. A woman who, as her loved one goes through recovery, absorbs all the information taught at the recovery centers and eventually, through her own therapist, along with the weapons of her faith, applies this knowledge to her own healing and to support her loved one's healing. By the Power of God is not an autobiography. Rather, it's a journey through the phases of the disease of addiction and recovery from a Catholic perspective, sharing personal experiences and stories, while offering understanding and practical suggestions. Although written from a Catholic perspective, By the Power of God is for all people living with addiction and offers a message of God's dignity, healing, hope, and mercy so that they too may have their life, joy, and peace restored.

Download or read book Jesus and the Addict written by Pam Morrison and published by Eabooks Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We face a profound problem in this country and around the world, the plague of drug addiction. Lives are being lost and destroyed. Many people are affected by this issue in some way, via family members, friends, or co-workers. The question is, "How can people find true healing of the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs involved in their addiction?" The author proposes leading addicted people to faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus and the Addict: 12 Bible Studies for People Getting Free from Drugs is designed to help leaders in Christian faith-based recovery to guide those who come to their communities toward continuous freedom from drugs. The book contains twelve studies with biblical guidance on varying issues with which people in recovery struggle such as overcoming fear, learning to have hope, overcoming resentment, and dealing with forgiveness. Jesus Christ is the answer in all these things. Deepened relationship with Him and the transforming effect of His power and love bring redemption and new life. The book is intended for pastors, mentors, sponsors, and teachers - anyone working in jail, prison, transitional communities, or in churches to help recovering addicts. The studies are designed to be shared in large group settings, a speaker providing the teaching talk. Following that teaching time, the large group can then break out into small groups for discussion of the teaching. However, this material is workable within a single small group as well as a large one - the small group hearing the talk less formally and then discussing it. Each of the twelve lessons contains a verse or key verses from the Bible about a particular topic. Those Bible verses form the basis of the lesson. There is then a section with discussion about the background and state of mind of people seeking recovery for the speaker to consider about those who will be in the listening audience. The author's experience has largely been with people who are lower income or poor, but addiction affects all classes of society, and both urban and rural populations. The concepts discussed in the background and state of mind section are adaptable to varying recovery audiences. A prayer for the speaker is included next. Following the prayer, there is a sample talk section where some key points are given. This talk can be modified to fit the speaker's own experiences and their audience. And each chapter concludes with sample questions that can be used to stimulate conversation within your recovery group. The book also contains teaching and theology about the nature of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. An explanation of the cross event, resurrection, and the meaning of the Holy Spirit in the life of believers is explained such that people in recovery can understand God as being full of grace and as a source of great empowerment. The presentation of the present-day healing ministry of Christ gives hope to the addict that they can permanently be freed from drugs and feel the lifting of guilt and shame. They can also take their place as a useful and contributing part of the kingdom of God and in society. Dr. Pam Morrison, the author, is an ordained pastor from the Free Methodist Church. She has led or helped to lead six churches. She has volunteered with Prison Fellowship and has ministered with addicts in several settings. Her belief is that medical and secular means have been and are used to help addicts, but the greatest help anyone can receive to achieve permanent freedom is to find faith in Jesus Christ. So much more help is needed for addicts and families of addicts. We are short on places and those who will walk steadfastly with people seeking recovery. This is a ministry urgently needed in this hour.

Download or read book God s Healing Process written by David Ian Copeland Ph.D. LMHC-S and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once you realize that Jesus did not come to establish another religion but to give us a direct connection back to God, you will take a great step toward spiritual growth. David Copeland, who has done evangelism work and spent time in youth ministry, explains how to realign yourself with God. He also explores why so many people avoid walking in faith, choosing instead to continue a miserable—but comfortable—state of existence. At the core of the book is the author’s observation that our lives are being refined by God. By utilizing what he calls God’s healing process theory, he shares how to find hope and walk down a path that leads to spiritual transformation. GHP theory is a practical way of meeting people where they are and helping them to transition to where God desires. It does this by helping identify patterns, potential problems, and pitfalls that may have interfered with or hindered mental, physical, and spiritual areas of health, well-being, and growth. Join the author as he considers what God really wants for us, how to respond to life with love instead of fear, and how to walk closer to the Lord.
