The voice within, from alcohol to sober (Law of mercy, miracles, 2)




I* went from being an alcoholic teenage preacher’s son to sober like an “off” switch at age 21 after five years of heavy drinking. I grew up in church, but as a young teen, I just had a rebel bone in me and got addicted to alcohol. I stayed drunk. On my 21st birthday, I had been drinking about eight hours straight and simply heard the voice of the Holy Spirit inside me say “Either do what I’ve called you to or I will not continue wrestling you.” It sounded so stern, however so loving! I was instantly sober. That just doesn’t happen. By the grace of God, I’m still sober years later! Praise the Lord!
