WHY CAN’T
ADDICTIONS BE STOPPED?
For the sake of your sobriety, choose the One True
Living God to surrender to, not some undefined, convenient god of your
imagination!
You can pray all day long to
some false idol, and all you will hear back is an echo! It will be no more
productive than talking to yourself! AA has been falsely teaching for decades
that they are of Christian origination, and also falsely teach in step 3 that
you can worship any undefined god of your understanding! This is pure blasphemy!
All
the money spent, all the psychology and counseling degrees, all the 12-step
programs, all the worldly advice that come with those programs, all the group
homes and treatment facilities, all of the broken and destroyed hearts, homes,
families, careers, and relationships, all of the jail and prison sentences, all
of the death and mayhem that are directly related to addictions to drugs and
alcohol, will NEVER end the grip that addictions have on our society, and the
multitude of negative consequences that they produce. Addictions , and their
curse on society have only increased exponentially over the past century in
spite of all of man’s futile efforts to conquer and overcome them! For each of
the few who have managed to find and maintain some degree of sobriety, there
have been hundreds more to fill their shoes. For each of the few who have
managed to find and maintain some degree of sobriety, there have been hundreds
who have taken their addictions to their graves!
The
fortunate few who have managed to find and maintain some degree of sobriety
should easily recognize the miracle that’s transpired in their lives, and
understand that miracles only come from The One True Living God! Our Creator,
who sacrificed His Son on The Cross, that we might be Saved and have Eternal
Life with Him!
If
you’re one of the many who wonder why addictions are so common in the world
today, and have become such a blight on our society, the answer is really quite
simple.
While there are thousands of
variations of 12-step addiction recovery programs being used in thousands of
group homes and facilities to “treat” hundreds
of thousands of victims, all of these programs refer to an undefined
“higher power,” or god of their own understanding, as the God they should be
seeking for help and deliverance from their addictions. According to the One
True Living God of all Christian faiths and denominations, “You shall have no other gods before me”. (Exodus 20:3) or, “For thou shalt worship no
other god,” (Exodus 34:14) or, “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1
Timothy 2:5). ALL others are false idols!
As long as men, whether in addiction recovery
programs, or any falsely led and misguided churches, seek to worship false
idols, and rely on them for answers to prayers for help and deliverance from their addictions or any other troubles in
their lives, they will ultimately
fail. And do so miserably! A perfect example of failing and losing the
so-called “war on drugs,” is the fact that instead of any forward progress, this
country is moving backwards by the early onslaught of legalizing the use of
them!
Another very simple reason man is losing the
battle against drug and alcohol use and abuse, is again another example of man
turning from, and ignoring Gods simple Truth, by convincing the world that
their addictions are a disease, rather than sin, which is what God calls
“drunkenness” throughout His Word. It’s like a counselor telling an addict that
they should take a couple aspirin and call him in the morning! Or in more
prolonged and serious cases of addictions, that they might need surgery or
radiation treatments. It’s no different than telling a sinner he has the same
cure for adultery. As preposterous as that sounds, AA has convinced the world
that sin is a disease and can be treated as such. Yes, addictions, if left
unattended will most likely lead to disease, and then death, just as sin leads
to death if left unattended. But there is a very simple remedy for all sin,
including drunkenness. Acknowledging that there is but One true and Living God,
and surrendering your life and will to His care. God sent His Son, Jesus Christ
to the Cross to pay for your sin, and provide you a way to be set free from it
by simply asking Him to forgive you, and repenting from its death grip on
you.
All of the world’s addiction recovery programs
admit that an addict must surrender their lives to “a” god. Where they fail the
millions of addicts who are desperately seeking sobriety, is by failing to direct
them to the only God who can save them! The same God who created them, and
Loves them, and wants them to Love Him! It’s not complicated folks, God’s Word
is The Truth, and The Truth will set you free as fast as you can accept it! Be
Born Again! Be Saved and Sober!
Before man will ever have a chance at genuine
true addiction recovery, the church must learn to teach the Truth! The Church needs to teach The Gospel of salvation by grace
alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone must be proclaimed to those lost in
the sin of addiction and alcoholism, with faith in the Lord and the sufficiency
and authority of His Word. Man can’t be expected to defeat the battle with satan over
his sin unless The Church equips him with The Truth! Instead we find most
churches today proclaiming man’s word as sufficient in defeating sin, or simply
tolerating it in fear of hurting someone’s feelings.
