GOD SAYS: IT IS ALL OVER
MARK 5:24-34
And Jesus went with him, and many people followed him and thronged him. And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said if I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, who touched my clothes? And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell before him, and told him all the truth. And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace and be whole of thy plague.
Have you ever struggled with an addiction and you thought you will never be free of it? It held you bound. And although you prayed and go on fasting things make a change for a while but sometime later you have gone right back to the source.
Well usually struggle to get rid of an addiction. I was introduced to pornography by a co-worker of mine about ten years ago. I was fascinated by it because I don't have a lot of experience in that department.
Over time I got addicted to; they were days when I spend over Three Thousand Dollars on phone data a week just to watch porn. I would ask the same co-worker to send me videos
Mark you, I was singing in the choir, teaching Sunday school, and on the Praise and worship team. Yes, I prayed and ask God to take away the need to watch these videos. They were times for months I would watch and then BAM, I would see or heard something that would trigger me off and I begin to watch again.
But one year youth month was coming up and I wanted God to pour out in me and use me, so I went on twenty-one-day fasting for this addiction. At the end of it, to be honest, I never felt any different, but I have made up in my mind that I have to get rid of this addiction.
It never stops overnight, I struggle with it for maybe another, where I found myself watching a video one day and it make me sick. Right there and then I block the co-worker from Facebook, WhatsApp, and every other possible way you can think of and I also blocked every porn site.
To get over an addiction I have to cut off the source where I am getting them. I have realized that I was doing things on my own; I was not letting God fix it. Wasn't depending on God through this addiction, all God wanted me to do is leave it right in his hands.
Today I can safely say I am free, praise the Lord I am free. I'm no longer bound by this demon.
Whatever it is that you are addicted to. You can overcome it, Once you let Jesus take control
Because I know it was all over I wrote this song:
Where ever you are whatever I have been going through. The Lord says all my struggles will be over. I have been in the valley and my journey has been rough, But it will all soon be over
It all will be over when I leave it all at the altar. It all will be over when I cross over on the other side. It all will be over with one touch from Jesus, The pieces will get together with his healing power, and it all will be over someday.
All my pain will be over, it will soon be over. I have been in the valley and my journey has been long. But someday i will be on the mountain looking over, it all will be over someday
All my trouble will be over soon be over, I have been in the valley and my journey has been long. But someday I will be on the mountain looking over. It all will be over someday
All my struggle will be over soon will be over I have been in the valley and my journey has been long. But someday I will be on the mountain looking over. It all will be over someday
