Drug abuse, my brother is dying

[Mike]

I'm sorry to say to everyone who's responded and care about Jeff, but I just heard from him. He's taking a plane to Spokan, having been called this evening with the news that his brother has died. I'm sure he would thank you for your prayers already given and those to be given up, especially in the days ahead. We know from what he's shared about the devastation drugs has caused his family and very quickly came to a head with his brother.

It will likely be a while before we hear from him.

So now, all we can do is everything we can do. We need to be prayer warriors and go to God, lifting him and his family in prayer that he will find His Peace in this storm.

Oh how sad for everyone who loved him Jeff, we will be praying for you all, may God's peace surround you

Thanks for letting us know, Mike.

Jeff, yes, I am praying for you and your family.

 

[Alabaster]

Jeff, I am praying for you and that you will be used by God even in the hard moments, to reveal the love of Jesus Christ and to reveal His strong peace and very real comfort.

Spent many years getting stoned, reefer, alcohol, LSD, shooting speed. shooting cocaine, and then smoking it. I almost died a few times, well really more than a few, because cocaine and crack gives you little heart attacks to big heart attacks, and I had a couple that put me in a hospital. There were times when I thought I was going to die within minutes because I had ether shot to much cocaine or smoked to much crack. And in my hippie years I was always tripping on LSD or speeding. Now I use my past addictions to help somebody who has the problems that I had. But what void was I trying to fill ? I can tell you what it was, low self esteem, and power over drug addicted women so that I could have my way with them sexually. But I as I got much older I noticed that I could not stay sober for very long, then I started having a love hate relationship with drugs and alcohol. But there is one thing for sure, I did not want to die that way. So after 30 something years of that mess, God reached down and took drugs, alcohol and cigarettes from me all in one day. And I have not touched none of it since. Now ain't God good. One last thing though, when you are addicted to drugs you are in bondage by the enemy, and guess what ? You put your loved ones in bondage too. Now I am looking at my brother who is still using drugs, stay in the same place, because when you use drugs you never mature you stay in the same place mostly.
