God is in the business of filling you and me with his will. In fact, it's God's will to put the will in willingness for you, for me and for all who humbly ask.
Ever wondered how faith can guide you through the tough journey of recovery? In this episode of 'Joyful Recovery in Christ', Pastor Jim Nihiser dives into the eighth step of the 12-step program, focusing on the importance of willingness and aligning your life with God's word. He explores how making a list of those we've harmed and becoming willing to make amends is crucial for recovery, but emphasizes that true willingness comes from surrendering to God's will.
Pastor Jim shares how we often try to take control, sidelining God's authority, and how this habit can hinder our recovery. Through scripture, he illustrates the power of renewing our minds and testing God's will for our lives. By filling ourselves spiritually with the Word, we can push aside worldly distractions like alcohol and drugs.
Pastor Jim encourages listeners to trust that God's plan is superior to our own and to be open to changing behaviors, jobs, friends, and attitudes as God leads. Through prayer and surrender, we can experience a transformation that assures us of God's best plan for us. Tune in to discover how putting the will in willingness can lead to a joyful life in Christ.
