2. How You got Where You Are
Statement One
I place all my trust and confidence in the Lord, and I put no
confidence in the flesh. I declare myself to be dependent upon
God. I know that I cannot save my self, nor set my self free by my
own efforts and resources. I know that apart from Jesus Christ I
can do nothing.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel
to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to
the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are
bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Luke 4:18,19
3. Paul Didn’t Say, What Will Set Me Free?
But WHO – No Program Set Free

against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought
captive to the obedience of Christ, 2 Corinthians 10:5

• Truth sets us free and Lies keep us in bondage.
It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing
firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery (to the law).
Galatians 5:1
• Most programs are law-based (what to do and not do) BUT if you
depend on any program instead of Jesus you are under the law
and bondage.

6. The Power of Sin is the Law
And the Law Arouses Sin.
The Sting of Death is sin and the power of sin is the law.

aroused by the Law, were at work in the members of our body to
bear fruit for death. Romans 7:5

Trust God from the bottom of your heart. Don’t try
to figure out everything on your own. Listen for
God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you
go. He’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t
assume you know it all. Run to God. Run from evil.
Proverbs 3:5-7 (MSG)

• Is our desire to meet legitimate needs which only Jesus can meet.
• The source of our addiction are only the objects of our temptation.

somebody, succeed, cope, deal with stress and pressure, find
comfort and/or survive.

• We are complete in Jesus.

10. Understanding the Problem
•
•
•
•
•
Solution the world offers is self-improvement or flesh improvement.
The World offers a way to cope, but not to change.
The world offers restraints (LAW), but no true freedom.
It doesn't offer freedom from our past.
Freedom is not part of the world’s solution.
Only Jesus Is!

imprisoned, institutionalized or die.

• But the hammer has fallen on Jesus and there is no more
guilt, condemnation, shame or punishment.

• The Lie is that addiction is so hard to get free from that
we need something more than what Jesus has
accomplished with His finished work on the Cross.

Christian programs based on the “12 steps” that focus on
what you have to do and not what Jesus has done.
