At Reformer's Unanimous, we like
to
TALK, TALK, TALK
First we
talk to God.
Prayer,
testimonies, songs
Then we
talk to each other.
Counsel time
Then God
talks to us.
Through the preaching of His Word
Reformers Unanimous is a
Christ-centered, Bible-based addictions program designed to help
people with any type of addiction and also the families of those
enslaved by an addiction.
The world's
philosophy is that a higher self esteem will give you the power to
resist the temptations of your addiction. Reformers Unanimous'
philosophy is that we can do nothing without Christ's help. Philippians
4:13 says, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth
me."
We meet each Friday
evening from 7:00 – 9:00 PM to learn from the Bible and discuss our
addictions. After opening with prayer and praises from those God has
miraculously changed, we have group counseling sessions and a
message from God's word on addictions and recovery. This is followed
by a time of refreshments and fellowship.
The 10
Principles of Prosperity
1. If God's against it, so are we…
Galatians 5:19-21
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;
Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry,
witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions,
heresies, Envying, murders, drunkenness, reviling, and such like: of
the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past,
that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
2. Every sin has its origin in the
heart…
Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked:
who can know it?
Proverbs 4:12
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues
of life.
Romans 13:14
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for
the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
3. It is easier to keep the heart
clean that it is to clean it after it has been defiled…
Proverbs 22:3
A prudent man forseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple
pass on, and are punished.
Proverbs 6:27-28
Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? Can
one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
4. It is not possible to fight a
fleshly appetite by indulging in it…
Ecclesiastes 5:10
He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he
that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
James 1:14-15
But every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust, and
enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and
sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
5. Small compromises lead to great disasters
(or little sins lead to big sins)…
Luke 16:10
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much:
and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
Matthew 6:24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and
love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the
other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Romans 6:16
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his
servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of
obedience unto righteousness?
6. Those who do not love the Lord will not
help us serve the Lord…
John 15:18-20
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated
you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but
because yea are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the
world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said
unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have
persecuted me, they will also persecute you…
Proverbs 24:15-16
Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the
righteous; spoil not his resting place: For a just man falleth seven
times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
7. Our sinful habits do hurt those
who are following us…
Romans 14:7
For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
I Corinthians 10:23-24
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient:
all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. Let no man
seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
8. It is not possible to fight a
fleshly temptation with fleshly weapons…
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through
God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations,
and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of
God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of
Christ;
I John 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because
greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
9. We lose our freedom of choice
after we have chosen our actions. The consequences of our choices
are inevitable, incalculable and up to God…
Proverbs 5:22
His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be
holden with the cords of his sins.
Proverbs 20:17
Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall
be filled with gravel.
Proverbs 9:17-18
Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are
in the depths of hell.
10. God balances guilt with blame.
When we accept the blame for our actions, God, by our repentance and
confession, will eliminate the guilt.
I John 1:9
If we
confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
