If you had 8 car wrecks, 3 flip-overs, 2 head-on collisions due to drug, then what did you do about the drug problem? Have you ever suffered back pain, knee pain, heart pain, lung pain, headaches and all kinds of pain in your body? How much prescribed drug or illegal drug does your body really needs to address the pain problem?
Have you ever been abused by somebody else you really trust? How do you address that emotional hurt and psychological pain problems? Would the street drugs help at all? No, not at all. The pain is still there. The drugs just cover it up like you have no problem at all. After awhile your body may develop resistance to all these drugs so you have to have more drugs, stronger dosages to address the deeper drug and pain problems.
Have you ever wanted to quit thinking about the pain, the hurt and all the sadness in your life, but your mind and heart won't quit thinking or feeling about it? The more you have tried the harder it seems to get rid of all these thoughts and feelings. Using the street drugs or being addicted to the pain killers is just a way to cover up something deeper.
You may have a spiritual problem. Your heart needs to be fixed. You may need to make peace with God first and to have the peace of God in your heart more than anything else first.
After confessing all your sins, unrighteousness and repented of all your sins, you asked and received God's forgiveness for your sins. The blood of Jesus Christ washes away all your sins and unrighteousness. You are set free to worship God, to love God for a very first time. After the sinner's prayer, you have given your heart to the Lord Jesus; he is your master, your Lord and Savior; He is your Healer, your Deliverer and Redeemer. He is your God. You want Him now more than anything in the world.
Then suddenly all the desire to seek drugs, all the pain and anguish in your soul and body vanished, disappeared, no where to be found. You are elated, excited about the headache which is gone now; the heaviness in your heart is also lifted up; your mind suddenly is clear. What's going on? What did just happen to you? The Lord Jesus just touched you. That's all. It's His divine finger. It's His amazing love and powerful grace that reached deep down in your soul and pulled you back out. You have been trying to hide, to run away from all your pain. No more. No more shame. No more guilt. No more sickness and diseases. You are free to run. You are free to dance. You are free to live for Him, the One who saves you and redeems you from the pit of hell.
It was you that God has had an appointment today on the street of life. Grace has found you. It's God's amazing grace that saved such a sinner like me. I once was lost, but now I am found; was blind but now I see. You are full of joy now. Hallelujah.
If this describes you, just praise the Lord for He is great; God is good all the time. Oh yes, He is going to use you to give testimonies. The young people whose life has been wrecked will hear you and turn away from their wicked ways. They will make their choices to run toward God or away from God. Glory be to God in the Highest.
