Christianity Oasis Forum


This forum is for those souls 18 years and older who are dealing with some type of addictive behavior whether it be from alcohol, drugs, overeating, fear, worry, sex, etc. Only with help and guidance from God can we ever hope to overcome these addictions. What is impossible for us to do IS POSSIBLE with God. Friends and family of those stricken with addictions are welcome to share as this problem affects more than just the soul entangled in its web.

How are YOU doing? C'mon. Seriously! Nobody's whispering or pointing and laughing ... how are you doing right now??

If you would rather not answer, meditate on this Truth:
"But, the fruit of the SPIRIT [yes, our dear counselor, the Holy Spirit] is ... self-control..." (Gal. 5:22-23a)

Whoa ... did you just read what I read?! The fruit of the Holy Spirit is self-control. You know what this means?? Because we are in Him, we have the Holy Spirit dwelling in us, EMPOWERING us. So guess what ... We have the POWER of God in us to overcome ANY AND EVERY TEMPTATION!!!! We have the POWER of God to control ourselves!

Stop "trying." Trying means we do it by our own power. Our power fails ... BUT we have the POWER of Him. Let's give it to Him!

I'm praying for all of y'all! *Friends*

Exactly Deep, Surrender is THE way...we have to come to realize that we don't have the power to resist, hand Him our burdens, and let Him take control.
Amen Deep!

Amazing how we can see the same thing over and over, and yet see it differently when someone points it out. That's what I needed to see today, thanks Deep!
