Recovery Church Service Tonight

31st July 2011 aeboyle Uncategorised Comments Off on Recovery Church Service Tonight

An important part of the recovery process is meeting together with others in recovery. God calls us to live by the principles of selfless love, mutual respect and encouragement of one another. Tonight at the Salvation Army was such and event. Though not at the expected capacity evidence of the Holy Spirit was there.

Trevor W. shared an encouraging testimony of how God is in the process of transforming His life through relationship with others in recovery.

Join us next week and experience the presence of the Holy Spirit for yourself.

37 Wattletree Road, Ferntree Gully, Victoria.

Remember the Lord

30th July 2011 aeboyle Living Life Recovery, Obedience, Personal Growth, Prayers, Trust Comments Off on Remember the Lord

2 John 1:7-8 There are a lot of smooth-talking charlatans loose in the world who refuse to believe that Jesus Christ was truly human, a flesh-and-blood human being. Give them their true title: Deceiver! Antichrist! And be very careful around them so you don’t lose out on what we’ve worked so diligently in together; I want you to get every reward you have coming to you.

If you want to know what God wants; just ask Him. Prayer is a recovery essential!!!

Let Go and Let God

Can you let Go of self-centred fears and ambitions to allow God to shape you and use you?

Success

29th July 2011 aeboyle Life Experience, Living Life Recovery, Personal Growth Comments Off on Success

Succeeding in recovery does not mean that you won’t be knocked down, but real success comes when you know how to rebound after being knocked down.

To be successful in recovery we must do whatever we do for the intent of glorifying God. It is not sufficient for example, to give God praise for a work that was not intended to build His Kingdom.

Any person who expects to succeed should expect difficulty and live constantly armed with a plan “B.”

There is a way! If there is no way, God can create a way, if we trust him.

Name someone who has significantly influenced the way you see the world.

All of us have had people who have influenced our lives and our recovery. You can read some of mine in the About Archie page.

Who are yours?
How did they influence you? 

Recovery is about faith..

28th July 2011 aeboyle Joy, Living Life Recovery, Recovery Keys Comments Off on Recovery is about faith..

God gives us the power and courage to move forward
One Step at a time.

No social status or good deed makes us deserving of His forgiveness. It’s all about FAITH!

Romans 4:1-3 Abraham was, humanly speaking, the founder of our Jewish nation. What did he discover about being made right with God? If his good deeds had made him acceptable to God, he would have had something to boast about. But that was not God’s way. For the Scriptures tell us, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.”

Cling to faith

26th July 2011 aeboyle Messages Comments Off on Cling to faith

1 Timothy 1:19 Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear. For some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked.

Two types of freedom

25th July 2011 aeboyle Life Experience, Living Life Recovery, Personal Growth Comments Off on Two types of freedom

I read somewhere there are two types of freedom:

False freedom – where we are free to do what we want and 
True freedom – where we are free to do what we should. 

“Today, if you hear his voice,  do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.”
Hebrews 3:15

One of my favourite verses in the Bible: It became a favourite because I received it from God when wrestling with false pride whilst going through the process of conversion.
We all know the difference between right and wrong. We all know how to get sober and stay that way. But, still so many of us don’t achieve it. My prayer today that is that we all not only hear His voice but will obey whatever it is He is prompting us to do…..

Holy Spirit Motivation

24th July 2011 aeboyle Living Life Recovery, Messages Comments Off on Holy Spirit Motivation

The Holy Spirit directs us and motivates us. Those moments when we found ourselves in a slump were impossible times. We came to a complete halt and it was only the Holy Spirit that prompted us to get going again.

The same is true when we were saved from addiction. Sometimes it was the stumbling block that frustrated us that saved us from the troubling situation.

When we have been motivated to go the right direction by the Holy Spirit, it is no problem for us to praise God.
