What to Expect at Changed Lives Ministry
God brought you to our Ministry to save your life from alcohol and /or drugs, through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. You are not here by chance, but by God’s plan.
Jesus says,“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matt.11:28) Throughout your program, you will be pointed to Jesus Christ, as the Bible describes and presents Him. He alone can give you the victory over substance abuse. Jesus says,“If therefore the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.” (John 8:36) You will spend much time studying the Bible and hearing it preached and taught.
“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. (John 8:32) You will spend time in worship, focusing on Jesus Christ and how wonderful and powerful is the love of God which sent Jesus to die for our sins. “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!. (1 John 3:1) You will be surrounded by the love and compassion of Jesus Christ in this place, and will be encouraged to share that love with others. “And this is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.” (1 John 3:23) You will have the opportunity to learn to pray, to share your burdens with Jesus Christ, and to experience the peace and comfort of His care for you. “Cast all your anxieties on Him, for He cares about you.” (1 Peter 5:7) You will learn of your need to trust and depend on Jesus Christ, not only for victory over abusive substances, but for literally everything in your life. Jesus says, “Abide in Me, and I in you, As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me.” (John 15:4) Welcome to Changed Lives Ministry!
