He Broke My Chains – And He Can Break Yours Too

There was a time in my life when I felt completely lost—trapped in a cycle of addiction, shame, and hopelessness. I couldn’t see a way out. I wore a smile on the outside, but inside I was drowning. The chains of addiction were heavy, and I honestly believed I’d never be free.


But then… God stepped in.


He didn’t wait for me to clean myself up. He didn’t require perfection. He met me right in the middle of my brokenness, and He loved me there. And that love—it began to break things off me. It began to heal wounds I didn’t even know were still open.


“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” – John 8:36

This verse isn’t just something I read… it’s something I’ve lived. Jesus didn’t just help me cope—He set me free. Fully, completely, miraculously free.


I share this not to boast in myself, but to boast in Him. Because I know there are others reading this who feel the same way I once did. Maybe you’re in a dark place. Maybe the weight feels too heavy. Maybe you’ve convinced yourself that freedom is for other people—but not for you.


Let me tell you the truth: Jesus sees you. He loves you. And He can set you free too.


“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28

He’s not far from you. In fact, He’s closer than you think. That pit you’re in? He’s already standing in it with you, reaching out His hand.


Freedom is not just possible—it’s promised.

“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” – 2 Corinthians 3:17


My life today is not perfect. But I live in peace. I live in purpose. I live free—not because of what I’ve done, but because of what Jesus has done in me.


And He’ll do it for you too.


If you’re ready for change… if you’re tired of carrying the weight alone… cry out to Him. You don’t need fancy words. You just need a real heart. He hears. He answers. And He saves.


Let my story be proof that God is still in the business of breaking chains. You are not too far gone. You are not too broken. You are not disqualified.


You are deeply loved by a God who’s waiting to set you free.


Stay strong. Stay hopeful. And never stop believing in the power of Jesus to transform lives—because I’m living proof.

Faith, Recovery, and the Call to Share Hope: A Reflection on Mark 16:15-16 Introduction Recovery is a journey of transformation, hope, and renewal. It requires faith, perseverance, and a willingness to share our experiences with others. Mark 16:15-16 reminds us of Jesus’ command to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” This message speaks directly to the heart of recovery—just as we find healing through faith, we are also called to share our hope with others who are struggling. In this blog post, we will explore how this passage relates to recovery, the importance of belief and action, and how sharing our stories can help others break free from their own struggles. 1. The Connection Between Faith and Recovery At its core, recovery is about transformation. Whether overcoming addiction, trauma, or other personal battles, the process involves letting go of past pain and embracing a new way of life. Similarly, faith calls us to a journey of renewal—trusting in...

The Devil’s Distractions in Recovery “Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good.” – 3 John 1:11 Recovery is a battle of focus. Whether you’re recovering from addiction, trauma, toxic relationships, or a destructive mindset, the enemy’s goal is to keep you distracted so you never heal. The devil doesn’t need to destroy you if he can keep you busy with the wrong things. He’ll replace your addiction with another distraction—something that looks harmless but keeps you from true healing. --- How the Devil Uses Distraction in Recovery 1. Escaping One Addiction by Replacing It with Another Many people in recovery stop using drugs or alcohol but turn to excessive social media, binge-watching TV, or unhealthy relationships. The devil whispers, “At least it’s not as bad as before,” but all it does is keep you from true healing. 2. Keeping You Busy Instead of Letting You Heal Workaholism, constant entertainment, and even doing “good things” (like helping others) can be distraction...

Whether you're overcoming addiction, healing from past wounds, or trying to rebuild your life, the road can feel overwhelming. But in Joshua 1:9 , God gives us both a command and a promise : "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Let’s break this verse down and explore how it applies to recovery. 1. "Have I not commanded you?" – God’s Call to Strength This isn’t just a suggestion—it’s a command . God doesn’t ask if we feel strong enough or if we think we can handle it. He commands us to be strong because He knows we can be , not in our own power, but through Him. In recovery, strength is essential. The fight against addiction, self-doubt, and past mistakes is real. But when God commands us to be strong, He is als...
