Prayer for drug addiction

My brother and sister-in-law are in need of immediate prayer. They are both struggling with a heroin addiction. Right now, they have no running water in their home and are in danger of losing everything. It is a very sad, sad situation.

Re: Prayer for drug addiction

That is so very sad and terrible! Will pray that through this the Lord will be able to reach into their hearts and deliver them from the addiction that has them bound!

Re: Prayer for drug addiction

Thank you for your prayers. I have been praying for them for many years. I have faith that this year God will sweep in and save them. I am going this week to take them the word of God again, praying that their hearts will be ready.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Prayer for drug addiction

This is just amazing, thanks for all the prayers. I decided to go tonight instead of waiting until the end of the week. They were very receptive and hopefully will go to church this weekend. While praying with them the Holy Ghost was very strong. We all started crying. I am so excited, all praise and glory to our God. He works fast!!!

Re: Prayer for drug addiction

Yesterday some of my family members came against me for visiting them. I don't understand but it definitely feels like a spiritual battle.

It IS a spiritual battle.

Just remember, each Christian is part of the answer to their own prayers...

Re: Prayer for drug addiction

Heroin addiction is the worst habit to quit. The withdrawals are horrible so if they do stop they are going to need to be in a place where somebody who is clean to be with them 24/7 for 2-4 weeks. It will not be easy.
I will be praying for them and you.
