Listen "You Are Mine (Part 2)"
Episode Synopsis
Many people ask this question when they come to the cross and surrender over their lives to Jesus– now what?
For me, after that first confession of faith, a beautiful but difficult process of healing, transformation and growth began.
There are a few things in my life that changed immediately.
First, I quit smoking weed. I didn’t need it anymore. By the power of God, that chain fell right off of me. I will confess that I have relapsed a handful of times. My recovery hasn’t been perfect, but nothing gave me freedom from addiction like Jesus did.
Second, I started reading my Bible every day. I wanted to know God’s Word, and I didn’t want to fall for any of the world’s lies about what the Scriptures say. I was also praying which was something I’d never really done before, and writing many songs.
Third, I surrounded myself with people in the faith. I went to my Christian counselor on Wednesdays, bible study on Thursdays, Celebrate Recovery on Fridays, and worship on Sundays. I was blessed to have men and women invest in relationships with me so that I could learn from them.
I didn’t do any of these things out of obligation. I was actually freed to enjoy them by the power of God. Jesus really brought me into a whole new life.
