February 2010 Newsletter

       Who would have thought that an old man who is “technologically challenged” would be doing webinars? I am now doing my third one, which is Recovery Ministry Leadership Training in which I take people through the Freedom From Addiction Workbook and the Freedom From Addiction book. The participants can log in or call in then hear the teaching and view the PowerPoint slides and ask questions. We have thirty people going through this one and I already have ten registered for the next one beginning Tuesday, April 20 at 8:00 PM EST. E-mail me if you would like to register. One pastor in south Georgia who went through the last one is taking 25 people in his church through the Workbook using the same PowerPoint slides. Although I use the slides for training I’ve designed them so that it is all a person needs to take people through the Workbook. There are over 300 slides in all and it is best to take two sessions for each of the ten chapters in the Workbook. The slides will be available for purchase in April.

Below is a message I received from a lady who read something I wrote on Facebook.

"Oh yes. We got it all. We are complete in Christ and in Him are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. We don't even have to try to be godly. We just need to stay where He has placed us IN CHRIST and the reality is we can't leave, but we can move into deception where bondage and misery awaits.You said the above Mr. Mike as a comment to a comment made regarding one of your Facebook photos. It was in September that these comments were made so that's why I'm unable to comment additionally. I just want to testify to the truth you spoke that "...we don't have to try to be Godly. We just need to stay where He placed us IN CHRIST and the reality is we can't leave, but we can move into deception where bondage and misery awaits."

    That's exactly what happened to me in October of 07. I had been daily meditating on your "One Day at a Time" and realized that I was free . I cried, shouted and told my husband. We celebrated and he even said he KNEW that I was free. I drew the picture of God, Jesus inside of Him and me inside of Jesus, but it was one body. I mean I got the revelation. But ohhhh no, what did I do? I got excited about my freedom; I stopped meditating daily from your book; stopped reminding myself of who God says I am and the enemy came in like a flood and started reminding me again of who his lying tail says I am. Before you know it I was believing satan like I had done for over 40 years.

    I'm now back on the road to freedom and I'm determined this time not to take my eyes off of Christ's Words. Yes, the reality is that I am always in Him as He is in me as we both are in God, but deception does await to bind up again. I've got years of reminding myself who Christ says I am before I am able to stop making a conscious daily effort to be free. I know that I am, but I can so easily resort back to false beliefs. I need to walk this out for a while. I'M TIRED OF BEING BOUND SATAN'S WAY MIKE!!!I just had to share that because I got so excited when I read your words under the picture. Thanks so much. I will bug you to death so just blame it on God, because He's the One Who put this healing ministry inside of you. This is what I've been looking for all my life even before I ever picked up anything.

I think she’s got it. Isn’t it interesting that she calls this a healing ministry? Being healed and whole is just realizing that the finished work of Christ has provided all that need to be free and live in victory. You have got it all. You have Jesus and you are complete in Him.

Take a look at my latest blog at  “Can a Christian be defeated”???!!!
