God gives you the grace to overcome the weakness that wants to put you down as you came to the Church.
-
As I started to come to the Church, I began to experience freedom.
-
My problem was that I was addicted for many years to gambling.
-
It started when I was 16 years old and now I'm 37. In the beginning, I would go to small place near out house;
-
the person hired there used me; he wanted to take the money from that place through me.
-
He was not allowed to play as an employ so he used me to do his game.
-
This is how this addiction entered me !
-
As I was having some money I would go immediately.
-
I didn't want my family to know that I had this issue.
-
I always had some money put aside, from what I would bring in the house, so that I would continue playing.
-
In the beginning, I didn't realize how bad it was and as years passed I couldn't control it.
-
There was no progress in my life; everything was shut down.
-
Every money I would have was spent into this gambling; afterwards there was this burden upon me.
-
I lived a solely and double-standard life.
-
I remember a moment when I had some good money, in one morning I planned to go to Church (former one)
-
but instead to be in Church, on the way I arrived to gambling place.
-
I finished my money and the game there exactly when the Church finished. No Church and no money....
-
All these years I didn't win any money but I lost all; it's only a set-up that you believe that you will win.
-
Whatever you win at the moment you will loose it big time when you continue to practice it.
-
I believe that I lost a apartment worth in money since I started playing.
-
In my mind, I always believed that being a Christian is to go to Church on Sunday, to listen a sermon...
-
but now I know that is more; you need to be serious and start a process and in this way, I was set free.
-
I was baptized many years back, but no serious approach to any place.
-
Since I received the grace to serve as a worker here, the Hand of God lifted this burden and problem from me.
-
Do not get discouraged when it happens to fall, because the grace of God is sufficient to rise immediately
-
and continue the process. God is supporting your position when you want to truly overcome it.
-
God allowed and gave me the grace to be a worker in this Church; slowly slowly I have prioritized
