- hi sweet GGB :)
we're back this week for a vulnerable, honest and informative episode on addiction.
addicts are worshippers. we're all hardwired for worship.
we talk about addictions to the big stuff like drugs, alcohol and sex but also addictions to the smaller and seemingly innocent stuff like the phone, toxic relationships and negative thought patterns.
we cover the topic of addiction from many different angles and shed light on the victory and freedom we find in Jesus from our addictions.
we love you all so much.
Jesus loves you more.
-Ang & Ari

HEY WHILE WE'RE HERE. WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO RATE & LEAVE COMMENTS ON SPOTIFY & APPLE PODS. OK BYE NOW LOVE YOU
It’s so crazy how God works. I feel like every week the episode is on something I am struggling with atm. God is so good. And Ang and Ari, the way you have brought me close to Jesus seriously changed my life, so thank you ❤
Yes! I really feel Ari and Ang are speaking to a very specific group of people right now & they don’t realize how much we need it 😭😭 praying for these girls as well to continue with strength, love & for them & there families to be blessed with any struggles they are facing
THIS IS ME. I clicked on TH-cam to check if they had uploaded yet and gasped... Needed this topic so bad, he's so good
Yes! I’ve had this same realization. God is so good. And the way He speaks through these women is beautiful. Every week i’m watching like “wow God knew I needed this”. ❤🥺
Me too!!
God bless and I pray you keep close to God
"Just one time" has been the biggest deception of my life, no matter how strong I thought I was. Discernment & discipline from the Holy Spirit is SO necessary in our walk with our Lord Jesus! 💯
As a single Christian man, it’s awesome to see women talking about addiction as I feel like sexual addiction is only thought of as an issue in men
Perhaps its because women are more so ashamed to share this and the culture hides this addiction in women, but yes, women too get addicted.
God will not be mocked. Girls gone bible is mocking Satan girls gone wild. People are being truly deceived so sad
I stopped smoking 🍁 one week ago, this is perfect timing! I feel so much better and closer to god already
I am so proud of you sis! Keep going! You may be healed from this addiction in Jesus wonderful name and get delivered. Phil. 4:8-9 is a verse that God used to help me through times of trials. God sees your efforts and the closer to get to Jesus, the further away you will get from the smoking sis. ❤❤
@@jordannikita literally let’s keep praying !!!!!🙏🙏‼️‼️‼️‼️
How did you quit?
@@Aris-yd1xi thank you so much! This made my soul smile🤍 amen, God is great and I am blessed to have the opportunity to do better. I will not give up, I will not give in to my fleshy desires🙏🏽
You smoked Canada? Or maple syrup? Was it sweet?
I didn’t think that this episode would get me so emotional because I never necessarily thought I had an addiction or addictive personality but it’s made me come to the realization that I do have things in my life that I put above God or that I have used as an escape to life, pain or heartbreak. One of my biggest struggles that I have now realize is an addiction is my thoughts as well because of anxiety, fear, depression. So I am so so so grateful for this episode, because it has truly opened my eyes and it was just a revelation not just of my own introspection but of Gods deliverance of my addictions. Thank you Ang and Ari, continue to do what you do because you are opening minds and hearts to the word and spiritual growth.
I think God wired some of us with an all-or-nothing personality because we're supposed to be all for Him, to live and breathe Jesus.
oof love this
What a beautiful way to look at it. Thank you for saying that. ❤
Amen to this
I can’t begin to explain how much of a blessing you both have been. I have cried all my through this episode and I’m not even half way through yet. Ive called my idols out and I ask for deliverance in the name of Jesus. I’m done. I can’t go on anymore; trying to find purpose in my job, in men, in alcohol, in spending, possessions or in gluttony. I’m on my knees. I’m on anti-depressants and they aren’t helping. I’m blessed that I have my church, my community and my sisterhood. ❤ Thank you, Jesus. Thank you Ari and Angela for speaking his word into me today.
I just wanted to update you all. Can I just say; within MINUTES of this prayer I felt God’s peace. There is nothing like it. He took control of my mind and my thoughts. I’m forever thankful. All I pictured was him carrying me through the storm when I didnt even have the energy to walk. ❤ He is the good good, Father. I encourage everyone to lean on him.
you’ve been called by His Name. In the presence of the Lord is our safest and best place. Thank you for sharing ❤️

Hii it’s caitlyn you probably recognize my name by now haha. Just wanted to say that when i found this podcast i was deep in a molly addiction and have now just hit four months sober from it. I’ve started a fitness instagram and have been wanting to get back into school and actually found purpose in life thanks to you guys. Addiction is SOO real you guys really hit the nail with this video. Also, i think a good video idea could be on the topic of backsliding in faith. I know sanctification isn’t linear but sometimes i have my days where i don’t feel like im worthy of God’s love and want to rebel and then shame hits me really hard if i do act on it. This is definitely something that I’ve been seeing being brought to light by other Christian influencers as well, where they profess their faith and then instantly backslide, but no one really discusses it. I feel like making a video on it could really bring us all together even closer and maybe even help not only me, but others that may feel intimidated by faith as well. Love you guys xx
I have been dealing with an addiction since I was 10 I am now 15 and still deal with it, I have tried so many times to get set free and it is one of the hardest things to overcome by yourself. I have tried to rely on Jesus but I get tempted SO incredibly hard each time I make it a little bit farther away from it. Please pray for me that I would get set free from this. (sorry if this is vague I don’t feel entirely comfortable sharing what this addiction is but please pray for me) btw this episode helped me TREMENDOUSLY!!! thank you so much ❤❤❤
I just got out of jail and was watching the new videos that I missed, they always resonate to what I’m going through especially that last couple of videos. God really works through you women it’s so beautiful. Also can yall send prayers pls 🥲
Been there also, let it teach you, forgive yourself and help others. Love you, and so does God.
@@chrisgreen2299get baptized in the name of Jesus Christ only and study your king James bible.
My mother was addicted to drugs. Burdened by her choices, I had to watch my back knowing that if she were to wrong a Drug Lord or a Mob Boss, they would hurt me to send a message.
Addiction impacts the lives of those who aren't addicts themselves. For sure, at 25, I had to identify her body after she overdosed behind a Burger King.
Addiction is a disease. Addicts leave lasting scars on their children. I am 36 now and am just beginning to embrace my femininity, from having to be aggressive and masculine so much for survival.... I made being hostile an idol....
I worshipped my ability to fight. I put that above God, and by his mercy and grace, he showed me I don't have to fight anymore. He also showed me that he's fought my battles, and that my ego blinded me from realizing.
Thats my story. And I hope that the addicts who listen to this podcast, or the children of addicts, thank Jesus Christ and the Angels for each day.
Battles are won we aren't even worthy of noticing.
By his righteous right hand, when we lean on him, we are sheep impervious to venom. In the moments when we rob God of his credit, he still sustains.
Hallelujah!
I was 12 wen i started masturbation and I stopped at the age of 23 . My walk and passion with Jesus did the healing , the lord is so good.like ang and ari i cannot talk about this without crying.it was really a deep dark pir but God's hand was for me to get me out of that pit
Romans 6:16 (NIV) states, "Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey-whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?" This verse emphasizes that we become slaves to whatever controls us, whether it is sin leading to death or obedience leading to righteousness.
What controls you? What do you put first? Love this verse!!!
I love you girls I found you after I got sober. I’m 21, and I turn 22 in August, I have just over 10 months sober and going to AA changed my life. I’m so happy and my life has been given back to me thanks to humility and honesty and the 12 steps. I found God again through AA. No addictions at all! Praise God!!
I work at Adult and Teen Challenge Mid America. I serve men and young men into knowing and drawing closer to Christ and leaving their pasts behind. Addiction and life controlling issues.. There's nothing more God glorifying and beautiful than to see someone so lost and damaged by the enemy and sin, become totally new and set apart and anointed for the Lord. He gives beauty for Ashes. ❤✝️
Thank you for serving God in this ministry. I graduated Teen Challenge in 1987 at age 23. It truly saved my life, and soul.
I am the daughter of addicts, and this right here its the thing I have been praying for. This was a "call" of Truth, and true love. 💗 I'm living in a time where I'm in the middle and searching for God and prayer. Today I stumbled upon your upload in Jesus name, I knew it would be hard but a relief to hear. Thank you. I'm off to continue my journey knowing two beautiful souls like you guys exist and are testimonies of Breakthrough. You both said I love you. Well I love you too. I'm glad I am here. I love you Jesus. Everyone in the comments as I write this I believe in our saviour, and I rebuke anything that's holding us back. Let's "medicate" and give our soul to Jesus. I love you all!
So good. I was supernaturally delivered from pain meds that I took for over a decade for chronic Lyme arthritic pain. Although the doc was prescribing, I knew they were affecting my personality. God REMOVED the temptation to rely on them. I had zero struggle. Not a sweat or a headache getting off of them. That was March of 2021. I didn’t even have to wean off. Praise Jesus!
Me too,i was on methadone for 11 years,I'd a terrible drug problem that plagued me on and off throughout my life...I asked God one night to deliver me,I began to shake and sweat all over but it wasn't a bad feeling,it was actually a pleasant feeling,when it stopped after maybe a minute I knew it was over...addicts tell me its the hardest to quit but he took my suffering for me,paid the price for my sins...God is great
@@qwertymcqwert7066 yeah! Love to hear this and my uncle is on methadone for over 20 years. Been trying to wean off but he’s stuck. Right where the Devil wants him. I will share your story. That’s one of the hardest to get off of. Praise our Lord Jesus. You were Saved AND delivered. Hallelujah!! 🙏🏼✝️💖
Such a relatable episode 🩷 God be with everyone watching/healing through and from whatever form of addiction. Jesus truly is the only One who satisfies us! 🕊️
“this weeks episode truly resonates with me” is always a statement i’ve seen on the comments of GGB videos, ever since watching you girls about a month ago i haven’t yet gotten that experience… until today when this episode was released! i am struggling with addiction and i feel as though it is tearing me from my relationship with Jesus, i struggle so hard, but the facts you girls brought, and how i can unite with Jesus in order to heal is so beautifully said and delivered. i’m so thankful Jesus sent you girls in order to inspire us to challenge ourselves!!🥰
I struggle so much with social media because I tend to feel so lonely to the point that I'm more interested in other's lives to an unhealthy degree. After fasting this past month and going back to unessacery scrolling I've decided to put it down, thank you lord for letting me find this video on a whim and thank you GGB!
This episode is so on time, you guys touched on some really important points. Literally anything can be an addiction even if it seems subtle and harmless at first. I've had to battle with thoughts, procrastination, toxicity in relationships, sugar, junk food, secular music, social media/youtube. I have long periods of staying away from these things by the grace of God but sometimes when you're going through a hard time it's tempting to resort to old habits. It really is a form of numbing, escaping and coping. I'm praying for more self-control and to be completely healed. I pray for everyone that is battling addiction to be completely free and delivered by Jesus. It is really difficult seeing a loved one go through it so thank you for mentioning that and giving advice ❤we're not the cause, we can't control it, we can't cure it but we can pray. God bless you all
I’m only 15 minutes into this but I need to say you guys are so spirit led. The Holy Spirit is so present in you. I was just talking about how it all goes back to childhood with a friend last night, and I’ve been avoiding diving back into that or truly finding and seeing the source of my insecurity and fear. Also addiction is my biggest struggle and it is addiction to my mind. When I first came to Jesus he brought me to Jeremiah 3-5 and I have served the false idol of my mind and of other spiritual ideologies my whole life. I’m addicted to escapism in my mind. And food, binge eating was my first vice. And I’m dealing with both so presently and so constantly right now and I know Jesus is delivering me but it’s hard. So I just wanna say your timing is perfect. The Holy Spirit is perfect. May God bless you two graciously and bountifully. I love you both so much. You’re my best friends in this season of my life.
We love you so much
I’ve recently fallen back into old sins and I’ve been scared to go back to Jesus because He already saved me from these things, so I should’ve know better. I asked God to just show me if that thought was correct or not. This episode was an answer to that prayer. Thank you!!❤
Going through the same thing answered prayers
Me too it’s been horrible. I was so close to God and I’ve felt so much shame letting my flesh go back. I constantly fear that my salvation is lost. I needed this episode so bad 😭
I literally prayed for this video last night after I had such a bad experience and realised what spirits were truly at play. I have been struggling with p0rn addiction since I was 8 and always struggled with sexualising myself and lost my virginity at a young age to an older man. Yesterday, I felt so out of control and out of my body and realised how sinful my actions were. I tried to pray and asked for God to remove my sex appeal and free me from the spirit of lust and I kept picturing sexual images in my mind and was being distracted during prayer. I asked for God to help me and give me a sign on TH-cam and this video comes up less than 24 hours later. God’s timing is forever good.
I don't have exactly same story but in bad times I turn to porn or I just waste my life away on the phone 😭 And I was just to ask God and share with him and then I see this video
I’ve struggled with porn for a very long time like long and I’m 18 rn. But one way I learnt to desexualize my mind is through listening to gospel music and listening to podcast just like this one. Ofcourse from time to time your tempted but something I’m learning to do is realize when my mind is trying to lie to me and get me to sin. All it takes is a “God help me not do this” and he well. Acknowledge and seeking help from God will help you I believe. God bless you
@@matthewjosiah9769thank you for the advice
@@matthewjosiah9769 Thank you, beautiful soul. I think it's kinda scary how early we're introduced to things like porn, you mentioned 8 years old. I think I got introduced probably around 12 and it was just trough the website I played games for children..
Parents need to keep an eye on their children but it goes to the whole relationship (and parenting) and sometimes they're just not good.
For me it's I think I feel bad I start to sabotage my actions instead of taking a break or focusing on something that's good. I've just recently realised I spent most of my time on the phone. It's gonna sound weird but I actually can function well without it and I don't miss it when I spend a day without the phone. My family is living abroad and so is my boyfriend I try to handle communicating with them without spending too much time there. Sometimes I wish I could just throw it away and have those people here
@@dalenastar Oh If you don't mind I'll share something. So I've been through very difficult time when I was a teenager and I lost my sense of identity. My life was just collapsing in every possible way. I knew my mental health was really unwell and that I need to move out, that was the only chance I could help myself. But I also started dating a lot, most of them older. I didn't know what I was doing until I realised how desperate I was for a hug, for friendship, for love but been looking in all of the wrong places. I thought the only thing I have or I can offer is my looks, without that no one would even talk to me. I thought I'm cool, flirty. I wasn't afraid because I was going through depression. I'm obviously in a very different place right now and the biggest peace I have found in myself. I'm 23, also my relationship is so different from this dating phase. I'm not gonna lie I'm not that religious or just not there yet, but I'm interested in it and I'm trying to talk to God again after years because I'm a Christian and as a child/ teenager I just thought he doesn't listen
I am struggling with addiction right now and have been battling it for a while. This is perfect timing, thank you guys so much I love you Ang and Ari ❤️❤️❤️
I helped people through drug addiction. It's intense. They hit the bottom and go cold turkey through a rehab facility. It's an act of courage and love seeing people trying to get out of it. We pray for them every Sunday.
Thanks for always posting girls! You make my face light up every time i get the notification you posted!! Love u ang and ari❤❤❤
Your voices are so soothing, peaceful, sincere, and holy spirit filled. I love u gals.
I had my addictions but I continued to allow God to help me. My hubsand had his addictions but we pull through this together through Christ.
@@EmilyW-2000 stop going to church and studying your king.
Great episode girls. Within the last year I quit my weed addiction. I quit drinking alcohol. I quit premarital sex. I quit social media. I quit playing video games. I replaced all of these habits with good Godly habits. If I can do it anybody can do it I lived like my life was a wild movie for the last 15 years. The only thing I’m still slightly addicted to is chocolate at night lol but I’m working on cutting down on that too. I appreciate what you girls are doing for the world 🙏
What a testimony 🙏
I have a weed addiction, social media addiction as well. I deleted social media yesterday because I felt God really show me how destructive it’s been. Can I ask what you filled your time with because the withdrawals are real. I workout a lot and have healthy habits but when I have down time it’s so hard for me not to numb and go on my phone
@@thesum101 Giving up weed is the hardest one to give up because it makes being bored more tolerable in your down time but it gets better with time. Working out is great so definitely continue on that path. Eventually your withdrawals will go away after a few weeks. Cold sweats will leave after a few weeks. Nightmares will be gone after a month or so. Anxiety and depression gets better but you might still deal with that in the upcoming months because you're used to weed helping with that but that's where we learn to make God our new best friend we can lean on instead of weed. When u grab your phone instead of going on social media watch TH-cam videos that help u learn the Gospel more like Girls gone Bible, Ruslan, George Janko, Stay true, David Diga Hernandez etc. I also started to read the Bible a chapter a day. I'm still in my process of transformation and it definitely takes time it's only right God can develop us before we're completely delivered. Take it a day at a time and be the best u can be for God and you'll become the best version of yourself. Hope this helps God bless you on your journey 🙏

And to think that I have always wanted my girls to talk about this topic soo much cause I have been battling with something for long now and I think the holy spirit made them talk about this, now I feel soo connected to you guys and I now know the holy spirit hears everything even our silent prayers. Thank you guys so much for this one 🎉❤🫂
I am very grateful for this week's podcast, I have suffered with addiction to pornography and Masturbation for many years, i have turned away many years just to pick it right back up. I need God in is grace and mercy to rid this from me. Please pray for me. Love you two ladies in Christ Jesus. #GGB
I’m not sure if these girls realize how amazing their passion is- it’s contagious. These podcasts are currently getting me through my darkest time in life, and I just wanted to say I appreciate you both so much Ang & Ari, God bless 🤍
I couldn't agree more! Praying that God gets you through, and me to!
We love you SO MUCH!
I needed this video so much ❤ I have fell into many addictions alcohol has been the biggest . I gave my life to god back in February and he delivered me from alcohol . I could never stop on my own but once I gave my life to him every craving went away like that . A couple of weeks ago like you girls said one time is all it takes to go back . We think we’re strong enough and healed but we’re not . A couple weeks ago I had a drink and couldn’t stop . It was the worse weekend of my life . I kept drinking not praying shunning god . I completely broke . I felt mentally and physically sick . I felt so sad and empty a feeling I never want to feel again . I thought that was “living” again but it was not ! I completely broke and thought god will never love me and find me again I’ll never stop drinking . I broke and got down on my knees and had a moment with god I had never had before . After that I could breathe again I wasn’t in physical or mental pain anymore . He brought me back to life again 🥹♥️🙏🏼 I have a closer relationship with god than I had before . He is the only way we cannot fight anything alone we all need him ❤ this video spoke to me thank you 🙏🏼 ❤
I am Ukrainian and I watch you, honestly, everything you say affects me so much, it changes me so much and my eyes start to open, thank you for everything you do❤️
I'm struggling so much with addiction thank you Angela because I feel like my mind is hardwired and hearing your voice felt like you could command the evil demonic in my mind and I can't express how grateful I am that you manifest godliness and can turn my mind towards repentance from my addiction. I will keep praying that God will give me someone in my life to be my accountability partner
For me, it is food. I am healthy, eat nourishing foods, organic, lots of meat and fruit. I did not think I had any issue with food, because I have good self control in what I eat. Then I tried to do a biblical fast! I have failed MANY attempts at 24 hour fasts. It feels impossible for me. I felt God show me, "I sacrificed so much for you, and you can't sacrifice food for only a short time?". It makes me feel so guilty. There is a challenge in my life, and I know I need to fast for it. I fail everytime I try around the 15hr mark. My mind is weak when I feel hungry! Fasting is so prevalent in the bible, and I want to achieve it. I know God put fasting on my heart, because He knew it would challenge me, before I even knew it was an issue.
Same here
Sure when you fast you're feeling on the word of God the King James Bible.
I totally understand this! I definitely recommend doing water and bone broth and do not go on your phone (in case there is food pics that pop up) stay in the word, especially James. You can do it!
I love you both so much. I thank you for speaking Gods truth and for helping us all. We love your sincerity and honesty. I pray you both are healthy and continue walking in Gods will ❤️
I needed this episode so badly today. I just broke things off with my ex after we kept going back and forth with each other for months. It's painful right now to let go but I know Jesus is setting me free and removing everything in the way between Him and I. Your words are so comforting I love you guys so much!! :'))
This is a must watch over and over again for those in addiction! You need these nuggets of The Truth of Jesus Christ to fill the atmosphere of your house and these Spirit-filled words to transform your mind.
I’ve been struggling with bringing up the topic of addiction to my father who recently started drinking again after being sober for 7 years. I prayed and prayed for God to equip me with the knowledge to speak to him about it so my dad knows I am not mad at him just worried! My prayers were answered today with the episode, I am so blessed to be apart of this amazing family. (Also a fellow MA girly 🎉)
Thank you Ari and Angela I love you guys so much!!! I needed this episode so bad. I have been horrible addicted to my phone and social media my screen time is literally 10 hours it’s embarrassing. It’s just been an easy way of numbing and distracting me from how far I’ve been from God lately. I’ve been in shame and fear of losing my salvation. Which I know is the enemy.Yesterday I deleted social media and then saw this on my feed today. Thank you so much I’ve been watching yall since day 1 and you have no idea how much life you’ve spoken into me. ❤️🔥
I love this topic i was an alcoholic for 20yrs started at age 12 just celebrated 5yrs clean in Feb I realized in life the only friend who never left and was always there was Jesus I read Romans 12:2 every morning i am a AA sponsod so s/o to your father for helping thoss who our still lost and I just created me a Christian TH-cam channel thank u ladies for the hard work u put in to spread Jesus message
Thank you for sharing this is such a beautiful testimony ❤️
@@lordisthetruthrepentandrej5494 thx u im just waking testimony that when u come to God he will change everything in your life for the better
Thankyou ladles for this blessing! I have an adult son who is so addicted and hasn’t come to Jesus yet. I pray that God blesses him and my other son & my husband with the Holy Spirit flowing into their lives every moment of every day. In Jesus name I pray❤.
God bless everyone here ❤
You guys always talk about just what I need to hear. This podcast is just such a blessing! Thank you Jesus.
Omg ladies you are truly amazing I’m grateful God made me watch this episode. Addiction truly comes from fear, God is the way and the light ❤❤❤
I have been non stop praying for God to help me and it feels so overwhelming at times as I feel I let Him down always, when I saw and then watched this episode i started sobbing. Thank you Jesus and thank you so much for letting God lead and guide your podcast as the episodes always align to what people struggle with, your both incredible thank you thank you thank you!!🤍 Praise the Lord🤍🕊️
I remember Angela saying her family is Catholic, which is so amazing, so you guys should consider doing a podcast with Fr Mike Schmitz talking about Catholicism vs Nontraditional Christianity! I think it would be so insightful to learn more about significant differences and similarities! So much love for you both!❤️❤️❤️
@@Ella-fu5iy oh wow this is fantastic we need this amazing suggestion🙏
Great recommendation! Especially since Fr. Mike created the “Bible in a Year” app- the most listened to podcast in history.
If you think he is. Good AND. HE IS. THEN YOU NEED TO WATCH FATHER JOHN CORAPIS Talk ON ADDICTIONS.
Ang & Ari, I literallllly just finished reading Genesis and am about to read the book of Exodus. The timing on this is insane! Wow praise God🥺😭♥️ Also, a word that I have been seeing a lot lately is “seek” so when Ari read Matthew 7:7?! As far as addictions go I hope this can be encouraging for you Ang. I vaped for 7 years. I never one got into the habit of smoking cigarettes so I completely understand where you’re coming from. With God’s strength I slowly weaned off the vape, and one day I woke up and I said God, break this bondage I have to this. Free me. Break this chain. And he delivered me in that instant. The timing on this video just wow. Love you guys so much ❤❤❤
Arielle spoke straight to me in this episode. Every time she spoke, I had goosebumps 😭 thank you both so much for this episode. God bless you ❤️
We love you!!
I swear every time i listen to GGB, it is exactly what im thinking about or experiencing. Thank you so much for being you. Truly, from the bottom of my heart. I needed this conviction today. ❤️
Iv listen to all your podcast, I enjoy every single one of them. I get excited for everyone new one. But this one… wow. Iv heard Gods voice thought you girls. I mean it. Thank you so much for this message may God bless you both!
This video came just at the right time. Things here I really needed to hear. I pray everyone who sees this is brought closer to Jesus. Love u both ❤
Hey beautiful besties I would love if you all could do an episode on FEAR. I have been struggling a lot personally with intrusive thoughts and spiritual warfare and always fearing of the worst possible outcome In every situation. I haven't always been like this I'd say in the last 6 months it's been pretty bad but nothing before that. I've been raised to know Jesus my whole life and as an adult have been working to strengthen that relationship. But after having a baby and becoming a mom for the first time I find myself more and more anxious and fearful of the future. Last night the Lord put on my heart to read Matthew chapter 6 and once I got to Matthew 6:25-34 it gave me a lot of comfort. However I would just like to personally hear from you ladies about any Fear that you have experience whether in the past or currently and what scriptures bring you comfort ❤
Perfect timing! Thank you both for this episode. God helped me get sober in 2020, I was sober for 2 year then got curious to see if I could have 1 on occasion. Nope. Now I’m trying to get sober again. I know how bad it can get for me and I don’t want to get there again. The Proverb that talks about a dog returning to its vomit also pops in my head when I do have a drink so I’m feeling pretty convicted. May God continue to bless you both 🫶🏼
Angela and Ari wow maybe your most powerful podcast yet Angela had fire within her. Good job girls
Wow this hit deep, thank you so much for sharing. I feel hope and I feel determination to let go of things that are holding me back from God. I've battled with addiction for over a decade, and I know God has big things for me, and he does for you too, whoever is reading this. It's been hard but God never stops chasing us. Thank you God. Thank you Ari and Ang.
I have 23 days free from alcohol! I need prayers my husband is getting drunk every weekend and drinking three beers a night on weekdays
We are so proud of you! Jesus is so proud of you! We love you!
To two great ladies, thank you doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of the love I have for this episode. Addiction is so insidious. God bless you both. 🕯🙏
I struggled with lust. I fell into pornography addiction and self satisfaction. I dealt with this for about four years. But God came and healed me ! And it was only when I truly repented and sought God that I got healed. So let this be your reminder that God still heals and hears our prayers. Don’t be afraid or ashamed HE cares for us. 1 Peter 5:7 ♡︎
Amen Hallelujah ✝️❤️🙏🏾
Let's cast all our anxiety on him because he cares for us! Thanks for the verse!
YOU GUYS ARE SO WONDERFULLY PASSIONATE, and I know that is God speaking from within you. I am a new listener to you guys and I haven’t stopped raving about you how much I wanna see you guys in person and listen to u (hope u make it to England 🏴) you guys inspire me to pick up the word of god not only study him you help me understand him. I am not one to listen to podcasts but I have found myself coming back to you guys constantly. Thankyou and Godbless you guys ❤Amen
you guys should have your parents on the podcast!!
Addiction happens when you aren’t planning on it. No one desires and tries to become addicted. The devil tempts me with ‘just one glass of wine’ and I never stop at that point. I never just have one. After the second I usually think ‘wooo! This is fun!’ and I always regret it the next morning. Even if I don’t have hangover symptoms, I always feel guilty because I know that’s not what I need.
And you know what? It also took me a long time to realize that the devil loves to help us give into our temptations as we become addicted to things because he can edge us closer and closer to death every time. I have had times of thinking I should just die so I feel relief because I cannot beat this thing. Hmm, tell me why that thought crossed my mind when I have never ever been someone who struggles with depression or suicidal thoughts like that? The devil wants us to kill ourselves.
I’ve been an addict for years, from Yale or jail, White House or outhouse the results are all the same. Somewhere along the line that party becomes a full time job that pays nothing but pain and suffering. A topic not too many talk about with an open mind. Good show ladies
Stop doing all that even smoking. Unless you want end up in Hell
@@nathanmccumber8965 Yea it’s a process, if it was as easy as just setting it down and never picking it up again I think a lot more people would get sober sooner and with a lot less problems. If too holy to look down or judge your fellow man there sir
Angela, I don't know if you'll even read this, but I do appreciate you being an overcomer... I think you are more beautiful today now that you are actively trying to overcome the things of this world that hold you back from Jesus and yourself...
Choosing not to stay in that addiction, yet choosing to overcome it, there is strength in that.
So Thank you, Angela, for reaching to be the best version of you each day!🫶
Brilliant and helpful video. Likening the pull of addiction during the battle to be free to the Israelites desire to go back to slavery was extremely well done Angela
I love you so much ladies! So excited to watch this!! From South Africa!!
Beautiful spiritual Christian women ❤️ we all need one backing us👍
Thank you Ang and Ari for sharing and being vulnerable about additions that separate us from God.
I can relate with Ang & Ari so much. Thank you, ladies, for this powerful and encouraging podcast to spread awareness and give hope for those of us who are battling this evil known as addiction.
I am working through each addiction one at a time. Not sure if this is the correct way but it was the way I felt I could be sucessful. I have quit drinking alcohol, and now quiting soda, next is tobacco. Addictions are real and Jesus helps us put them down.
Uhmmmmmm WHAT I've literally been struggling with getting off this game I got recently, and praying tl God for strength and HERE THIS IS LIKE WOWWW GOD thank You!
@@frightfactoryYTJesus can do anything and everything, I hope you get through it too!!
Often the things that bring short term satisfaction lead to long-term misery and destruction. Practising delayed gratification and discipline is where it's at.
My family lives in Vegas too. I'm from dc and it was nice visiting them with everything I've been going through. Family gives you soo much life. Hey Ari, I shut off my social media too. It's so relieving unplugging from everything and just having gods voice. It's really helped with my mental clarity. Thanks to you both for all that you do. Yall help me so much 🙏
You two come across so well for Jesus with your very feminine way of teaching about Him. May peace and love follow you always...
23:47 Hello everybody 👋🏼. As someone that worked for big pharma for a few years. Would strongly recommend you to stay away from medicine as much as possible. Use it as a last resort, only when you absolutely need it. Some of this companies know their products cause addiction and as long as they are not forced to disclose,
they will not do it. Please read on the case of Harrington vs Purdue Pharma L.P. God bless and be with you always! 🙏🏼
All pharmaceutical drugs are sorcery and witchcraft and those that take them will not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
@@nathanmccumber8965It says in Mark 8:36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? .. poisoning people for greed is evil.
I been waiting for this one! I'm not trying to take this addiction with me into my future. Lord please help me put it down once and for all.
Nice talk ladies. Love the connection to Israelites wanting to return to slavery and people wanting to cling to their addiction. I was familiar with it because I started reading the Old Testament after listening to you…I’m addicted to listening to sermons on TH-cam, especially Stephanie’s after you had her on a guest. Looking forward to next week. Later I’ll post links to find AA and Al-anon meetings. Ang was on right track with childhood link to addictions, I think. From what I observed it almost always gets back to dealing with trauma - feelings of shame, being abused in one way shape or form, wanting to numb, not wanting to feel. It seems like 90% of people with substance use disorders also have PTSD. I agree addiction can hit anybody. It’s a slippery slope. I also think people become addicted to cope with losses….Good balance between your contributions in this episode. I listened to it on my way to NY for a week. You know, Ari, if you visited your friend we could meet up. Watch out for those sharks in the lake & enjoy the Cape with ur fam…PS- so many people just don’t want to talk about their problems. Can’t say I blame them. Would rather take a pill or substance. Doctors shouldn’t prescribe benzos or antidepressants before referring people to therapy. And then you don’t always find a good therapist…i prayed for a parking spot today sort of and got one right in front of my aunt’s building in Manhattan on Friday night. That is how you know God is good. I really felt his love in that moment…lastly, my closest experience to addiction was not being able to stop writing when I was writing my novel. It made me manic, lose my mind and end up in a mental health facility. Even though I knew writing was no longer good for me I couldn’t stop. Probably the dopamine
I was literally was waiting all for this video 😫
Love you ladies, thank you for another great episode. Made me remember Matthew 5:28 “But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” A thought is a sin. Jesus is showing us that if we tame our mind we wont act on the thoughts that lead to habitual sin.
Thoughts are the gateway to heaven or hell. I was living in mental hell and became suicidal. I had made a plan to end my pain. I asked God to forgive me for taking matters into my own hands and tried to reason with Him on why I should do it. All the sudden I felt a fire burst thru my heart and fill my whole body, truly supernatural. The next morning i woke up and no longer had suicidal thoughts. I told God okay I hate myself and dont want to continue to be here, I guess I’ll just become your servant. That was the best decision I ever made. Ari is 1000% right, serving Jesus is not easy and I still struggle/sin everyday. What keeps me going is that Jesus showed me “You’re mine” that dark night.
Jesus of Nazarath is a living God and He loves us so much. He is waiting for us to repent and turn our hearts to Him 🤍
Im going through a really hard time right now. I have a thorn in my flesh and it's not leaving. I've been praying 12 yrs. I'm stumbling so much lately . I have a few good months with Jesus and loving Him whole heartedly. But I'm falling right now
I'm fighting with same sex attraction. And even though I don't act upon it. I struggle with going back to watching gl series to find peace. That's my addiction.
My heart breaks at the thought of hurting Jesus, but I'm numbing myself.
Renew your mind by the word of God study your King James Bible.
@@Maya-v9p get baptized in the name of Jesus Christ only.
Thank you God for working through you two. i was just realising how my phone is becoming addicting and trying to find a way to fight it and your video came at the perfect timing. Thank you 🥰✝❤
Angela speaking scripture is the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen!
I became addicted to smoking weed and drinking. I forgot who I was, as a child of God. I used it to cope with my depression and failed relationships. Jesus Christ shined the light on my sin and I hit rock bottom. When I finally surrendered everything, my only strength came from the Holy Ghost living in me and speaking to me through his word. My new addiction is to stay in the word. This is why I like watching these women speak truth.
Stay in the word friends 🙏🏼
I don’t mean to offend this daughter of God. I believe that I am experiencing a refinement from the Holy Spirit by repenting and making a covenant with my eyes. I see Angela as noble in character. I don’t know her personally but her presence online and professing Jesus Christ shows her heart. She will be attacked and treated disrespectfully by the enemy because she is a daughter of God, the Lord Jesus! Yet she will be lifted up in power by the Holy Spirit as she walks in humble grace! She is blessed! Her words testify the truth. Angela is not a sex symbol! She is a sister, a daughter of the King!
Thank you for your faith and service. Be bold and courageous! And Praise God!
Needed this more than i thought, on day 2 of my sober journey; putting weed down for good. 💖
I just got baptized last weekend and the Lord led me to this video and I could feel my chains breaking off in real LIVE time!!! The Holy Spirit has recently led me to my new job, and for the 1st time I am happy to go to work, and every day my unchanging, faithful father leads me down a path to learn his lesson from it! He keeps turning my negatives into positives and my losses into wins!
“When the time is right, I the Lord will make it happen” (Isaiah 60:22)TY for being our voice in the wilderness! You are my role models in Christ! May the Lord bless you and keep you safe❤❤❤ Praise Jesus ❤❤️🔥
these ladies are the angels that will be playing harps in heaven
@@liketwogrand This comment🥹
Harps oh boy! Well I am glad they are saved and going to heaven.
they are human, not angels🤷♀️ I love them, but I think it is not ok to idolize them🤷♀️
@@gracejoylove absolutely but I'm pretty sure the original comment wasn't actually saying they are angels like in a metaphoric sense you know they're trying to say the way they love God is so pure
@@callixtuscarvalho7147 ok, thanks! Can be. English is just my 4th lenguage. Maybe sometimes I didn't get the nuances🤭
Thanksgiving 2019 is the day my dog passed away , whom God spared nearly a decade before from an incoming truck tire .
That day changed me .
This lesson was so inspiring!! You ladies were very vulnerable and honest and I appreciate you both sharing your personal struggles and how God/Jesus has changed you!! I have had a sugar addiction since I was a kid and it is THE hardest addiction to give up bc I don’t even look at is as an addiction. It has caused so much inflammation, hyperactivity then drowsiness amongst other things in my body. I am fat and it has been so hard to give up the white crystal more addictive than cocaine. My body craves it and so does the candida overgrowth in my body!
God said to Cain: “if you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do Not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it.” God says this to Me! Can you imagine sugar mastering and devouring me? Well, the cellulite, brain fog, pain, rotted teeth, fat, diabetes, autoimmune diseases etc is devouring me. Prayers needed for this and food addiction, especially sugar/carbs. I have no right to look down on others🙁 when Inhave one of the hardest addictions to lay down!!! Prayers appreciated🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Thanks ladies💜💜
I just wrapped up my last eating binge.🙏🏾 I'm being set free from this in Jesus' name.
You guys rock. God bless you all✝💙
God bless you both Jesus loves you both
Hi GGB! Thank you for your podcast. You inspire me! About Las Vegas - I’ve been living here for the past two years and absolutely love it. It’s true that it can be a rough place for anyone struggling with addiction (they don’t call it sin city for nothing!).
But, I will say that the strip is just the tourist area. It’s like Times Square. I live 20 mins away from the strip. It is nice to go there whenever I want to enjoy the endless live entertainment. But, there really is a whole suburban city right off of the strip. I live within walking distance to the most beautiful mountain trails. It’s the most peaceful place in Vegas and it’s where I’ve found the most sacred and miraculous connection to God. I hope you come back, explore and bring your radiant light to this city as often as you can 🥰
Yesss!❤
Many times when a person is trying to overcome an addiction, it is important to understand that you have to take the bad habit and replace it with something positive.
Matthew 12:43-45 talks about when an impure spirit is cast out of somebody, it will come back with other wicked spirits and the condition of the person is worse than before.
This same principle applies to addictions of various kinds. One could use the analogy of a parking lot where every space is occupied. If the former addiction has nowhere to “park,” then an individual is better off 🙏🙏😊
This is brilliant advice! I had the same thoughts before.
That is so true. The Lord helped me replace my alcohol and drug addictions to exercise. I love strength training and running now. Thank you Jesus! 🙏
Oh Jesus I pray for my mind body and soul amen! 🙏🏼 I pray for everyone who reads this in your holy name Jesus amen amen 🙏🏼
It's great strength with your thoughts you gave it to many girls and boys ❤ Angela/Ari. We need warriors like you in our churches and community. To go to the Bible and to find, what it speaks to us. Many speaks with what they feel happy and what makes them happy to attract people to make money. ❤ and care from the creator of Heaven and Earth JESUS CHRIST the Lord the King anointed coming to take us to his house. We praise him.
Thank you for this! It is so important to talk about these things that the enemy uses to bring us down! I have been freed from an awful alcohol addiction and I know that in the “waiting” and begging God to deliver me, he was working even though it felt like he wasn’t even listening! He was and always is and he will work things for our good in HIS time! Hallelujah 🙌🏽
🌸Keep your mind on something else for me it's working out and planning🌸
Binge drank on weekends for years upon years but Jesus pulled me out of it 15 years ago and I still feel like the guy in Acts 3:8 "walking, leaping and praising God"!!
@35:50 I will say to myself Greater is He who is within me than he who is within the world. Reminding myself of that helps me resist temptation.
