THE REAL FIX YOU NEED!
MEMORISE:
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the
earth: for I am God, and there is none else. Isaiah 45:22
READ:
Isaiah 45:20-25
20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near
together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they
have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot
save.
21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take
counsel together: who hath declared this from
ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have
not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of
the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of
my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return,
That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
24 Surely, shall one say, in the Lord have I
righteousness and strength: even to him shall men
come; and all that are incensed against him shall be
ashamed.
25 In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

MESSAGE:
In an attempt to fill the void created by the absence
of God in some people’s lives, they find themselves using mind-bending substances. This is very
rampant in societies that have replaced God with
government. In admission of their failure to achieve
this folly in the lives of men, some of them now
allow the free use of these substances. What they
fail to realise is that without Jesus Christ, you can never be complete (Colossians 2:10). Nothing else
can take His place. The effects of mind-bending
drugs such as marijuana or cocaine can never fill
His space in the heart. If you take any of these, it
will only take you “high” into a world of
hallucination: an unreal world that Satan creates for you while the effects of these drugs last, but
afterwards, he drops you far below where he took
you from, leaving you feeling deeply depressed,
dissatisfied, empty and naked.
Any person who uses mind-bending substances
will always want to experience the “high” feeling again and again in a vicious cycle. It is ironic that
there is never a feeling of satisfaction derived from
the use of these substances. Rather, one wrap
becomes too small and the fellow moves on to two,
three, four or even five in order to experience the
effect that used to be derived from just a single wrap or shot. It gets to a stage where they now live
for hard drugs. At this point, nothing else matters to
them but another wrap or shot All along, each use
of those substances lead the user into madness.
No hard drug satisfies, but Jesus Christ does. He is
the “hard drug” that can fix your life once and for all. Take one shot of Jesus Christ and He will take
you truly high and keep you there. One wrap of
Jesus will give you a bit of the heavenly experience
that will increase every passing day as you
fellowship with Him. Have you received Jesus into
your life? Are you a drug addict? Do you need a fix every now and then? All you need is Jesus! He
satisfies. He will quench your thirst for inordinate
things. Receive Him into your heart and it shall be
well with you. Your life will receive the
transformation you need. Are you addicted to
drugs and other mind-bending substances? Have you made effort to stop their use but could not
stop? In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, you
are set free today! That habit holding you bound is
broken now! I command every demon of addiction
to release you now! You are liberated from their
grip in Jesus’ Name. Submit yourself to the environment of
accountability in a church to strengthen your
resolve never to go back.
ACTION POINT:
Reach out to drug addicts for Christ or lend a
helping hand to ministers dedicated to their salvation and rehabilitation
