01:47alcohol addiction for a couple of years so this all started uh in early 2020 2020 when i just started

01:59college um my first year i was a freshman so uh my friends and i would go out we would leave campus and

02:08go out and have some drinks and it was just so simple at first and it was so i didn't take it that

02:15serious we would drink and we would go back to to class we did it a few times and then after that

02:23that's when corona hit so corona started and we could no longer stay in school we were

02:30we were told to go home so as i was back home that's when it started like building up from there

02:36i started getting the urge for alcohol little by little i started going out to buy alcohol for myself

02:44i never did that at first when i when i started when i when i went back home that's when i started

02:51you know going out to buy alcohol for myself and it was so simple i would buy or go home i would drink

03:00and little by little it started getting serious to so that i started going to bars i would go to the bar

03:08and and just drink i didn't see the the impact of it but it started you know getting uh getting serious

03:16so months past i was 2020 a few months later it started getting serious to the point where i would

03:24drink the whole day and i would take anything i had no particular type of alcohol that i would drink

03:30i'll take spirits i'll take beers and all that everything all type of alcohol it became a a part

03:39of my life and we were home for about six months after corona hit we couldn't go back to to school so

03:44we we had online classes so so i had all the time to go to the bar it it got so serious that i i started

03:54losing appetite for food all i wanted was to drink starting from morning i would drink the whole day

04:02without having something to eat or a solid meal all i i hungered for was alcohol and i only ate

04:10small portions of food and it is the alcohol drinking that led now to um sexual immorality i started

04:19sleeping around i started having nightmares i would dream and see women in my dreams and i would have

04:29sexual relations with women i didn't know in my dreams um the feeling they are called to

04:35nightmares where i would be chased by dogs i would see dogs in my dreams very big dogs i would be running

04:41away from dogs i would be running away from men they would be chasing me i would um in my dreams i

04:49would see myself surrounded by lions i would be in a tree hiding from the uh from from the lions but even

04:56in that tree i would see the lions with me and i would look down i would see lions laying around down so the

05:04the alcohol even led to um feelings of deep anxiety i would have serious anxiety i would have fear and

05:12because i didn't want to feel like that i would drink even more to you know to avoid feeling like that

05:18and depression i would feel so hopeless and helpless i would be in a room alone but i would feel a presence

05:26in the room like a serious presence and i would be scared and i would leave the room and i would go back to

05:31drink to avoid feeling like that so that's how it was until it got to i think 2021 2022 2023 there it

05:40led to physical pain so i started uh feeling like serious chest chest pains that would be serious

05:48my chest would feel congested so i could breathe i could feel like i can breathe but when i laid down

05:54when i stood up i would do serious chest pains and my back and i would be sweating but because i didn't

06:02want to to confront it or go to the hospital i went back to the alcohol after a while when i saw that it

06:08was serious i think that was maybe late uh late 2023 or early 2024 that's when i i started realizing that

06:18this is this is really serious the pain was too much and the depression wasn't going away um the

06:26alcohol even led to feelings of feelings of unreality i would feel like i wasn't real it's called

06:33derealization or something it felt like i wasn't real i'd be in a room surrounded by the people i love

06:39or even my classmates or my friends but i wouldn't feel real i would look at my friends and they wouldn't

06:46seem it was just like a fog like i was under a fog like i wasn't real so all that led me to

06:52to try and find a solution so i started to go on youtube to see in these uh cures for depression and

06:58all that until i i came across um god's art tv that was late 2023 going to 2024 i think i watched a clip

07:09of uh one interactive press service with brother chris and i recognized brother chris uh from emmanuel tv

07:16early 2024 i sent a prayer request and i included everything i was feeling in that prayer request

07:23and i think it was just a week later i was invited i think it was february i was invited for

07:31for a for an interactive prayer service by that time i wasn't in lusaka lusaka is the capital city of

07:38zambia i was in kittu by my sister so after brother chris prayed for me i was at my sister's for

07:45almost four weeks almost a month and after that prayer i did not drink or anything until

07:54i came back home to usaka i fell into the same group and then i relapsed after that prayer i started

08:03drinking but i did not stop sending prayer requests so the whole lot of 2024 i was sending prayer requests

08:11whilst i was still drinking until this year late february to march i came across a clip of brother chris

08:22saying if you are only seeking god what you want to get then you are not ready to receive what you want

08:30if you seek god only for what you can get

08:40it is a sign that you are unprepared to get what you seek and that convicted me because that's what i

08:50was doing i was only seeking god for a quick fix i wanted a quick fix i wanted god to take it away very

08:58quickly so that i can go back to drinking but now i realize that god doesn't work that way the most

09:06important thing to god is for the salvation of your soul god wants to save yourself what i wanted was

09:11there was a shortcut and brother chris says god god's products are subject to god's process i did not know

09:20that at that time so that's why i continued sending prayer requests i was still drinking not until i saw

09:27that clip and that led me to matthew 6 33 which says seek first the kingdom of god and that convicted me

09:36because god does want to bless you but the number one important thing to god is the salvation of your

09:43soul and that's what he wanted for me and i made a decision to first see god i did not know how i was

09:51going to do it i didn't know the first thing to do about seeing god so i started downloading sermons of

09:57brother chris on my phone and then i sent a prayer request i think it was on on a prophet brother chris prayed

10:07for me and that's when i started getting the the hunger to to read the bible i started reading the bible

10:15because of that prayer i found myself deleting all secular music i deleted all the secular music

10:23from my phone and i was i was convicted by the ungodly movies i was watching so i removed

10:29all ungodly movies from my phone from there by the grace of god it started building up i started

10:36separating myself from bad company from from bad friends and i started i stopped making appearances

10:45in bars and clubs in like two weeks after that prayer the the urge for alcohol disappeared it just went

10:57just like that i don't even know how to happen how it happened it just disappeared and in that in

11:04those same weeks i found myself sleeping peacefully i could no longer see women i could no longer see

11:11animals or dogs or lions chasing me i realized that after i slept god gave me victory even in my dreams

11:21too to say no to alcohol i saw a friend in a dream in that same week a friend who was enticing me trying

11:28to hand me a bottle of alcohol and i said no and i walked away and then i woke up no chest pains i can

11:35sit in a room at night without feeling like there's something in the room um the anxiety the constant

11:41worry is gone i just have this peace and joy and i'm thinking about god all the time before i before i

11:50forget i wanted employment because i was home for three months without a job after that the interactive

11:57prayer service on april 5th april 5th that i was invited on i was invited later on on april 19th on

12:05that um easter encouragement service yeah that was on the 19th and then after that service like literally

12:13three days later after that encouragement service i was called by the by the company that i was

12:20intending for before they called saying that they want you your your employers were talking about you

12:26they miss you they have renewed your contract for for the internship yeah this is them

12:36so my word of advice the word of god says um for they overcame him by the blood of the lamb

12:41and by the word of that testimony so it's all jesus it is jesus who washed it all away the addiction

12:50with his precious blood he washed it all away the nightmares the anxiety the depression it is jesus

12:55who washed it all away jesus is the way and he's the solution and he can make all things possible and

13:02i would like to encourage other people if god has mercy on you just like he has shown me mercy and he

13:10it takes you out of something do not keep it to yourself whenever you can however you can't

13:16wherever you can tell people about what god has done for you so that you can encourage them because

13:22people say no you cannot it's impossible to quit alcohol it's impossible to quit pornography it's

13:27impossible to to quit smoking it is impossible for man but with god all things are possible and i'm a living
