Thank you for sharing this testimonial! One phrase I remember from the AA meetings I attended with my dad back in the early 80's is "once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic." Once I crossed that line, I always consider myself as an alcoholic. It helps to keep me sober-minded and remember where I came from and where I can go again if I don't stay close to God.[/QUOTE
This is a long response, trusting you and whoever else will read-it through. God just loves us all
for me, I heard God tell me, I am an ex alcoholic, God delivered me from it. I only agreed with God on it. So I responded, and cannot explain it. I just knew. When I told my wife, she thought no way, and I said nothing and now she knows it is true.
i have had many bad experiences, never denied God, I believe from God’s view, God by Son took away sin, from his view for everyone.
so, the people can now enter God’s throne of grace in their time of need. My need 24/7. I do not always remember this. I from time to time get angry, instantly I hate it, accept it, and do not accept it. I do go to God with thank you. For at that cross of Son for me and the entire world, God took all sin away through Sons’ done work.. (John 1:29). John19:30) I believe God, by Son as risen, per 1 Corinthians 15. If isn’t risen, then from Daddy’s view, by Son for all, I am not forgiven. I know this truth now, I am forgiven, reconciled, Even though I mess up again, God continues in God’s forgiveness, reconciliation of Son as done, that floors me, is the last shedding of blood, for any more forgiveness to ever be given, to anyone. That is done by Son over two thousand years ago now. Wow!!!.
‘that is what has been changing me to see and agree with God, to not take away anyone else’s free wil, or manipulate anyone to think as I think, or even as I think God thinks.. I am undone.
once I started finalizing the cross, agreeing with God by God I am forgiven, reconciled ( 2 Cor. 5:17-20). I then learned, learning by trust it is done I see differently than the world of human flesh. Being dead to that first birth willingly. Thanking God, I sinned again, I need to learn how not to do that again, by you, Father. Then I got 2 Cor 12:7-10
‘then I heard, are you taking anyone’s free will away from them or manipulating anyone to any self gain of your own? No, then you are well in your soul, flesh is dead. Believe, receive and see
thanking God forever in this unfathomable love to any person-alive to their first birth still. Not born again yet. Many are born again in belief, just do not see it yet.
God is faithful to carry on the work, God starts in anyone, the very first day anyone tells God personally they believe God
it takes, not giving up on God, even if you are right now going to die.
‘willing is the key, and going all the way to death as Jesus did. Then three days later risen and seen by over 500 witnesses.
this world religion preaches Law you have to.
God preaches willingness is forgiveness in reality. That cannot ever be squashed. God just loves us all, otherwise, Son would not have gone to that cross willingly to die once for us all, to reconcile us all in God’s self. Left only one thing left.
to believe God 100% or not,
‘when I got God just loves me and all the world people God created. Everything changed, from my view to God’s view through Son to me and everyone else too.
1 John 2:1-2
just hang on y’all, continue to want to know God and when you see, you will willingly stop harming self and anyone else.
this is growing in God’s grace for y‘All.
