New Wine Testimony: Miles

I've loved the Lord for years but slowly let alcohol into my life because I started to use alcohol for fulfillment instead of Christ. This was not all at once but a slow process. Once I realized the stronghold, I erroneously believed that I could take care of it on my own (me and God), without the help of others. God actually told me in a direct way a month or so before I started "Setting Captives Free" that he wouldn't deliver me on my own (other messages came indirectly for years probably). I was sinning in the area of pride as well. Once I started the program and humbly admitted my problem and sought help, it wasn't even a week before I really never even thought of alcohol anymore (for me to write out my problems for others to see was a very big deal because I am a private/guarded person overall). It was divine grace, without a doubt pour out through God's word and this great program that set me free. I encourage others to simply do what God tells them if they really want to free, and don't wait, and don't try to do it on your own... You will fail eventually. We are made to need God and be dependent on Him. I am incredibly thankful for Setting Captives Free. I can now move forward with a strong foundation for the work he has me to do and most importantly I get to enjoy Him along the way.
