The Road to Recovery Pt. 1 - Realize

Dealing with our hurts, hang-ups, and habits. Romans 7:15–17 TLB “I don’t understand myself at all, for I really want to do what is right, but I can’t! I do what I don’t want to—what I hate! I know perfectly well what I’m doing is wrong … but I can’t help myself! It is sin inside me that is stronger than I am that makes me do these evil things.” Romans 7:21, 23 TLB “It seems to be a fact of life that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong … something else deep within me … is at war with my mind and wins the fight and makes me slave to the sin …” Isaiah 57:18 GNB “I have seen how they acted, but I will heal them. I will lead them and help them, and I will comfort those who mourn. I offer peace to all, near and far!” Realize you are in need of recovery. How can we activate in-service?
