If you were to see my son now, you'd never guess that he was once a drug addict. To God be all the Glory. God is so faithful to us. God never left my side. Never.
Drugs killed my ex-husband and several members in his family. And only because of my Covenant with God, my son was delivered when this generational curse (spirit of oppression) tried to take hold of my son.
It started with my son being introduced to marijuana at age 16, by age 21 he was hooked on heroine and was experimenting with cocaine. Devastated and scared out of my wits end, all I had were my Bibles. My Bibles and the one thing that God wanted from me....'my faith' in Him. That's all I had.
Although my son is full grown, Saved and full of the Holy Spirit, a solid businessman; licenced contractor,financially set, married with four (4) children, he was then and always will be my baby. And that is what I fought for, my baby. I refused to allow the devil to have my son. And God won. Indeed He did, God won...the life of my son, which He owned anyway.
These are the Scriptures which I stood upon for 3 Solid years, until my son was completely delivered from drugs. Again and again to God be the Glory.
When I found out about my son, I was terrified. I 'saw' him with a sunken, gray face and buldging eyes, thin as a rail. All I could do was cry. And plain as day, God spoke to me, "Stop crying. You are not the only mother going through this. But I've given you something that they don't have, my word."
He took me to Isaiah 27:2-5
2 In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.
3 I THE LORD DO KEEP IT; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
4 Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
5 Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.
God was assuring me of keeping my son safe from harm and that my son was going to make peace with Him.
Breather short-lived. because every negative report that could come my way about my son was coming from every direction. My sister taunted me for she felt my faith in God was a waste. According to her, "I was a fool."
But this was my son, my only one. I had lost one son as an infant (he was 3 1/2 months old) some years before due to SIDS. I couldn't lose another child of mine. I just couldn't let go. And more than that, God wouldn't let me give up.
Acts 27:22-25
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you...For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
Saying, Fear not...and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. Wherefore...be of good cheer: for I BELIEVE GOD, that it shall be even as it was told me.
God was reminding me of His promise in Isaiah 27...He would keep and protect my son.
But, I had to give my baby up. I had to let go of my son and trust God to keep him as He promised. Suddenly giving my tithes and offerings of money was so much easier, but I had to also give up my son and that was the hardest thing in the world for me to do.
But holding on wasn't healthy. I was always worrying about him; where he was. Who was he with? Was this the day that he lived or died. I had to let him go and let God do what He had to.
Nehemiah 10:35-36
"...as it is written in the law: And to bring the firstfruits of our ground, and the firstfruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, unto the house of the LORD: Also the firstborn of our sons ..."
Basically, I put my son on God's "D/L"..."Dedicate him to the Lord." I gave my son up and had to trust God. And each time I had a thought, God backed it up with His word.
It took three years, but the day came when my son was set free, totally free. The other details are way too long, Howvever here are the other scriptures. I stood on God's word day and night; night and day. I'd go to sleep speaking His word and wake up doing the same. It was all I had.
Here are just some of my thought's and the scriptures God gave me. My Bibles are full of highlights and notes. These are a few to share. I put my thoughts in blue.
When I needed God's peace at night:
Psalm 16:7-11
I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I have set the LORD always before me.
Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay. You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
Lord please protect my son:
Psalm 16:5 "The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot." (He guards all that is mine).
Lord, I don't want my son living with that girl who's also an addict and keeping him bound.
Galatians 4:30 "Cast the bond woman out." (God moved quick on this one
... real quick. He left the girl's house and never went back
).
Holy Spirit I thank you that my son can never resist your nor reject you.
Acts 6:10 "And they were not able to RESIST the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake."
Lord, I thank you that this spirit cannot attach itself to my son. Your plans for my son's life will not be changed or aborted.
Psalm 89: (Read the entire Psalm and be blessed).
"....with my holy oil have I anointed him: With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.
The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie."
===================
God kept His promise to me. Every single word of His promise God kept His word. He did not fail me. My family laughed at me, but I did not quit. They talked about me and called me a fool, but I did not quit. I couldn't; I couldn't give up on my son. I couldn't give up on God.
I was like Nehemiah who would not come off of the wall. God had promised and instructed me to stay in His word and that He would bring all of it to pass and He did. God did it. He brought each and every word to pass.
And to this very day, my son is a living breathing testimony unto the Lord Jesus Christ and nobody can take that away from me. No one. No one. No one. God gave me back my son. He gave him back and you'd never know that the enemy ever had a hold on him. To God be the Glory. I praise God each day for my children.
I can't not share God's word with people. I can't sell out to the world. I can't not trust God. For I have lived His word when I had nothing and no one else to rely upon. He saved my 'baby'.
Yes, he's a grown man, but he will always be my baby. Always.
God promised to protect him. God gave me His word. And He never failed me.
I hope this blesses someone. Another mom or a wife, or friend... whoever this can bless.
My face is covered in tears sharing this testimony. He saved my son. God saved my son. To God be the Glory...Amen.

My goodness, sometimes it's so hard to "let go and let God!" But praise the Lord for this mighty testimony! I'm going to keep holding on and trusting His word, even when the hour is at it's darkest. God is able! 
Geeza Whiz...
. I know that hurt like the dickens. I was upset my brother got high with my sister and asked him about that a week b4 he killed himself. He told me he didn't want her to do bad things to get high.
erplexed but I know that was the grace of God. Especially since my faternal side has addictive behavior. My mom's side drink socially only but the other side party/drink/smoke like its nineteen ninety nine.
