"Addiction begins with temptations that seem harmless but lead to our downfall",
Step Eleven is the focus of this episode of Christians with Secret Addictions, hosted by Terry Hanna, a Christian who has been on the recovery journey for over two decades. This step emphasises prayer and meditation to enhance one's connection with God, seeking only His guidance and strength. Terry shares how addiction can feel like being enslaved, drawing parallels with biblical teachings and highlighting the spiritual battle between following God or succumbing to Satan's temptations.
With a touch of humour, Terry describes addiction as a demonic force, citing Genesis and Romans to illustrate the struggle between good and evil. He reminds us that addiction often begins with seemingly harmless temptations that quickly lead to chaos and spiritual death. But there's hope. By accepting Jesus Christ as your saviour, engaging in recovery meetings, and practising the principles outlined in the Bible, you can break free from Satan's grasp and become a grateful child of God.
Prayer and meditation are essential tools in this journey. Terry encourages listeners to pray without ceasing, sharing breath prayers like "I love you" and "help me trust you" as simple ways to connect with God throughout the day. He urges listeners to imagine their lives according to God's will and invites them to explore the Bible for guidance.
As Terry prepares for Step Twelve, he calls for support to continue this ministry, emphasising the importance of sharing the message of salvation and recovery with those still struggling. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that recovery is possible through faith and community support. So, who will you choose as your master today?
