We Are Not Powerless Over Addiction

 

We are powerless over our addiction only so long as we allow addiction power over us. 

Power is ours to weild or bow to as we wish.

I realized something years ago, drink, smoke, and pills were merely objects, products that I consumed, took into my body. 

Sometimes they made me feel good, other times, quite the opposite. 

Feel good or not; they were only products.

These products had no mind, no will, no authority in and/or of themselves; therefore they held no power over me.
The only power existing belonged to me. That power was only able to be used against me as a result of my own relinquishment of that power to inanimate objects, or products.

I took that power back that day all those years ago, it rightfully and naturally belonged to me. And it has not been weilded against me again since.

An Experiment In Power

 Do you believe in Jesus? Have you accepted Jesus into your heart? Are you a Christian?

Have you come to hear how Jesus love has set you free, and guaranteed you a spot at the feast table beside him in his kingdom?

I'm sorry. I apologize; this post is not for you. 

You already have that which you seek. This post is for those who have never witnessed, or experienced the power of simply speaking a word, but not just any word, this word; JESUS!

This post is for those who do not believe.

I am not asking those of you who do not believe, to change and now believe, you don't need to believe for this experiment. Just perform the experiment with an open mind; then make your own determination after. 

If after performing the experiment, you still see no evidence of power, change, or Jesus himself, and you remain an unbeliever; then I defend and support your unbelief with all that I am. 

I will not end my belief, or suddenly not like you any more. I will not tell you that you're going to hell; because I don't believe that anyway. I will simply stand by your unbelief.

Here's the experiment

When something bad comes into your life [sickness, poverty, grief, fear, anger, nightmare, night terrors,  robbery, sadness, etc.], speak the word Jesus (You don't need to associate the word with the person or God entity of Jesus; for this experiment it is a word only). If you are not able to speak it, keep trying until you can, if you still can't, then think the word Jesus. You need not pray, that would be a request of a person or entity, and therefore; belief. You are not a believer, All you need do is speak the word; Jesus.

Did the problem cease or ease up? If the problem ceased, good, try again with the next problem, see if it works more than once (is it just luck or coincidence?). If the problem only eased up, say Jesus again, see if it eases more, or ceases with repeated utterance's of the word.

Did the problem worsen, or did the problem not change at all?

If the problem persists or worsens; you can take it as proof that there is no power in the word, and Jesus is not real. And I will admit that I have failed to prove Jesus existence; to you.

Regardless of the results, you do not, under any circumstance, have to believe. Unless of course; you do.

As for me, I do believe. I have no choice, I have to. I have personally observed, experienced, and wielded the power of this word (But those are stories for other posts). The only word in existence in the entire universe, or history for which negativity, badness, darkness, and evil simply cannot continue within the presence of this word.

Upon speaking, or simply thinking this word, bad becomes good, dark becomes light, sad becomes happy, rain stops, attacks end, tragedies are interrupted, and stopped; negative becomes positive.

Simply say Jesus; and failure will become success.
