Wildwood Redeemed Wildwood "Redeemed" Addiction Recovery Ministry

Wildwood Redeemed is a safe and loving environment for believers in Jesus Christ who are suffering with addiction issues, and their loved ones, to truly come as they are. We seek to recover through sharing our common struggles with addiction, victories through Christ Jesus, and learning about what God’s Word says about His love for us, and His willingness and unlimited power to deliver us from our

bo***ge. If you have tried alone to break free from those sins that bind you, and have failed, join us in stepping out from the darkness of loneliness and despair, and into the light of God’s grace.

1 John 1:8 NKJV
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

The Bible reminds us time and again how easy it is for us to deceive ourselves. And even after decades in recovery I can have periods of uneasiness, strife and fear of the future while telling myself I'm doing all that I can. But guess what, that's not always true and once again I've deceived myself by believing the thought that I'm doing all that I can.

Thankfully I have a couple of short checklists for myself that help me cut through the flurry that can be my mind. And they are:
"Am I doing what I'm suppose to be doing, am I not doing what I shouldn't be doing, and am I making a difference in the life of someone that can't do anything for me ?"
Second checklist:
"Where am I at with my attendance, be it church, meetings fellowshipping, where am I at with my relationship with my mentor, sponsor and or discipler, and am I making a difference in the life of someone that can't do anything for me."
As a Christian in recovery I've found these easy means of self evaluation extremely helpful because I can fall victim to the lies of the enemy with one being that I'm doing all that I should be doing, and these lists cut through my minds chatter and help me see some simple truths. And for me the truth is that if I'm lacking as far as these lists are concerned, then I'm usually not enjoying the freedom and comfort that the Lord has for me in great abundance. God bless you one and all.
Psalm 118:24 NKJV
This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.

30 years ago when I was a struggling newcomer, my first mentor asked me, "who or what are you not forgiving?" Of course this made no sense to me because all of my problems, heartache and misery were due to external forces, people and situations. With his help I was able to see and admit that I'd done my best to address and resolve all the issues troubling me, only to make things worse. Which brought me to the place of defeat and realization that God would have to do for me what I could not do for myself. My friend pointed us to the prayer in Matthew 6.
Matthew 6:9-14 NKJV
In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. [10] Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. [11] Give us this day our daily bread. [12] And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. [13] And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. [14] "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
My friend summed up this prayer very simply by saying that God is telling me that if I am willing to forgive, He'll take care of the rest. He impressed upon me the power of forgiveness, and that really gave me something I could grab onto. The simple concept that my forgiveness of all the things and people that were causing me anger, pain and fear was an invitation to God to come into my life in a deeper and more meaningful way to do for me what I could not do for myself. So if you find yourself, with more anger and worry, than joy, ask yourself, who or what am I not forgiving?

If you have a little, or a lot of freedom from addiction but find yourself uncomfortable, irritable, angry and or wallowing in self pity, it may be helpful to ask yourself:

1. Am I doing what I'm suppose to be doing?
2. Am I not doing what I shouldn't be doing?
3. And, am I making a difference in the life of someone that can't do anything for me?

And remember, in your case, God knows the answers to these questions and it would be His great delight to help you with these.

1 Samuel 15:22-23 NKJV
So Samuel said: "Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams. [23] For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He also has rejected you from being king."

Almost 28 years ago I begged the Lord to save me. He was faithful to not only pluck me from a deeply spiralling life, but has since guided me, not always to my immediate pleasure, but always to my benefit. So on days like today, when I'm inclined to think and say, "darn, darn, darn" due to some uninvited change in my life, I need to look no further than my own history and His perfect word to know that he continues to answer that simple prayer of "help" with or without my approval.
Proverbs 3:5-8 NKJV
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; [6] In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. [7] Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil. [8] It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.
