Out Of Bondage Jesus Set Me Free From Addiction

With the impact of a supernova, "Out of Bondage" relates the astonishing response of Jesus to the author's desperate prayers for help. Giles, who had been a pastor, was trapped in a hopeless cycle of fantasies and binge drinking. Jesus the Savior responded by actually coming in person to teach him, over a period of months, how to get free from his addictions.

Many Christians are locked in a cycle of addiction, particularly in the areas of alcohol and drug abuse. Many have turned to twelve-step programs for help. But where is the incredible power of Christ in this process? In a positive, noncondemning way, Anderson provides an alternative model of recovery for substance and alcohol abusers, a model that will also work for individuals struggling with other kinds of addictions. The first half of Freedom from Addictions tells the unbelievable story of Mike and Julia Quarles, and how Mike overcame a debilitating addiction to alcohol. He achieved success by applying the principles that make up the central theme of Dr. Anderson's message: that we are saints according to God's Word (Ephesians 1) and that true freedom comes from realizing our identity in Christ.

Tens of thousands of Christians are locked into the cycle of addiction--particularly in the areas of alcohol and drug abuse. While 12-step groups are definitely helping many people, where is the incredibible power of Christ in this process? This study guide is based on the book Freedom from Addiction, also written by Neil Anderson and Mike & Julia Quarles. This resource encourages those in addictive behaviors to tangibly process the steps to freedom in Christ outlined in the book. The workbook stresses the need for a personal relationship with Christ as the foundation for the spiritual and physical freedom He offers, as well as a need for personal responsibility and accountability to others to complete the process.

The tragedies of my yesterdays are now the sermons I preach, the lessons I share, and the memories that have caused me to lay down the stones that I used to carry.Rose 'Maria McCarthy' Anding was trapped in a life of addiction, crime, sex, violence, and homelessness for over twenty-five years. Her life turned on an axis ofHigh Heels, Honey Lips, and White Powder. During that time, she was raped, robbed, beaten, shot at, and became involved in the infamous drug scandal of Mayor Marion Barry of Washington, D.C.; she was even jailed. After four marriages and decades acting the harlot, leading men astray with her high heels, honeyed lips, and perfumed sheets, Maria hit rock bottom. Her fourth husband's ultimatum was, 'Get it together or get out.' World-weary Maria McCarthy found herself on the doorstep of a spiritual rehab center, and finally met her Savior and was reintroduced to Rose, the woman God created her to be. Once she'd traded her high heels for a Bible and her cocaine for a relationship with Jesus, only then could she perform the task God made her to do. Mere months after completing drug rehabilitation, Rose was counseling and sharing her story with other women who had been leading similar lifestyles to her own. Because Rose met and fell in love with Jesus, this book is her way of telling all that it doesn't matter who you are or what your addiction is, if you feel helpless and alone, Jesus can set you free–just come and fall in love with Jesus!

This book identifies with my suffering and where it came from. Suffer No More can help guide you to freedom from addiction and any character defect that identifies you. When we are born, we are born with a sinful nature, and until we find God, there is no freedom from our sinful nature. Unless you believe in Christ as your personal Savior, you will struggle with the issues of sin for the rest of your life. But if you accept Christ as your Savior, you are then set free from your old sinful nature by the power of Jesus. Suffer No More is just to help people see the light from all their darkness and to help people find freedom. Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Jesus paid the penalty. He willingly took on his body all the punishment that we deserved so we wouldnt have to. He died on the cross for all our sins so we could be set free and be made righteousness in God through Christ Jesus, if we are willing to turn our life over to his care. Allow him to do the work in and through you by his Holy Spirit, and I promise you, you will be set free. Do the twelve steps to the best of your ability, and God will do beyond what you could ever dream or imagine. I pray this book will lead many to Christ.

Does Christianity have an answer for addiction? As longtime pastor Mike Quarles’s alcoholism worsened over eight years, churches and Christians referred him to treatment, 12-Step programs, therapy...nothing worked. Steve McVey, also a pastor, repeatedly dished out the same advice Mike received, with similarly poor results... ...Until, in their frustration, God led them back to basic, addiction-breaking truths of His Word. The authors explain these for readers who want to help someone or who struggle themselves, because freedom from addiction is found only when Christians fully believe what God says about their identity move beyond the 12-Step concept of inescapable “addict identity” stop harboring unforgiveness, get radically right with God, and dwell in who they are in Christ, which excludes engaging in addictive behaviors as a lifestyle Material on codependency is included, as is information on implementing recovery/support groups for those leaving addiction and starting to live in God’s glorious freedom.
