    Your addiction is a choice. Read from Isaiah and find your deliverance!

    Addictions are obviously the work of the Devil. People wreck their lives, their families and their very souls. How does this happen?

    No matter your status, as long as you are called by His name or you are a member of His vineyard, Matt 7:21-27 calls you a fool if you meddle your will with the Father's will or you have retained your old identity in following Him.

    In the part of the world where I came from, it is insulting to direct such a question at an individual. The truth is that our response to any statement goes beyond the surface meaning. And in this case, we believe that before you could direct such a question at an individual, you have ...read more
