Praise Report: Freed From Bondage To Alcohol

Even though I was saved for nearly thirty years, I’ve had a serious addiction to alcohol for a long time. I was totally in bondage to the habit and in recent years, I couldn’t go more than two days without getting really drunk.

I was always confessing and repenting to God but I would always return to my habit again. It was a cycle that went on for years until I started listening to Joseph Prince speak about grace.

I learned that the death of Jesus at the cross could affect my life NOW. I also read Joseph’s book, Grace Revolution, and the Holy Spirit led me to Romans 6:10—for the death that Jesus died, He died to sin once for all—and something inside me just clicked.

I looked up Strong’s Concordance and found that the word “all” in Romans 6:10 means everyone and everything. I realized that I am included in the word “all.” This means when Jesus died to sin, He did it for me. His death had provided the way out of my terrible bondage, whereas my struggling, guilt, and shame had been all for naught.

I’m so pleased to say that I have not drunk a drop of alcohol for more than eighteen months now. This has been made possible not by my own strength, but by the enlightenment of God’s Word through the Holy Spirit. That’s how true freedom came into my life.

I thank God for your ministry, Joseph. God bless you.

      your problem is not musturbation, you do not need prayer but knoledge of God’s love for you in the midst of your bondages. you problem might be attraction to pornography, how to stop it? Receive God’s Grace of the Gift of no condemnation after whatching it and musturbating. God does not want you to ‘stop’ it because he is full of laws ‘ he want you to be free because you do not sin against him but your own body.
      As a sovereighn God he does not condemn you because Jesus’ blood paid for uour sins once and for all; buy as God the father he is concerned about your freedom. The only way to bd free frkm Pornography is to just receive his God’s love.
      I advice you to whatch Pastor Joseph Prince’s sermons for your mental liberty towards your bondage. God loves you.

      Every time you masterbate, confess “I am the righteousness of God in Christ”. Keep saying it and remember there is no condemnation against you. God loves us dearly and Jesus knows our temptations of the flesh. I pray for a supernatural miracle of healing for you and for God to pour his love into your heart. Never give up. I also have addictions to alcohol, pills and marajuana. I’ve not had a drink for 4 months. I’m withdrawing slowly from pills with my doctor and hadn’t had a joint for 3 months then relapsed 6days ago for one night. I refused to condemn myself and had no more. I’ve bn fighting addiction for 35 years. Continually relapsing and substituting and self medicating for chronic anxiety. Since watching and listening to Joseph Prince something started happening to me and through me. I talk to Jesus about my problems and I was filled with Gods love for me. Persevere and never beat yourself up. Just keep listening to Joseph Prince and you are never alone. There are So many of us who know just how you are feeling. God bless you. Love Tricia xx
