God"
About
Us
The members of Wings of Eagles/Carried
By His Wings are
sober today by the power of the Lord Jesus
Christ. Each has been delivered from a
seemingly hopeless situation to complete
physical, spiritual and psychological
freedom. Were they delivered the day they
stopped drugging, drinking and sexual
impurity, or did the
miracle come after days or months of
staying sober by God’s power? The answer
to that question is a highly subjective
one, but the following truths about their
common experience are not .....
After the damaging substance was
removed from their lives, they were all
sick and in need of healing of the body,
mind, emotions and spirit as well as in
the area of relationships. In a small
number of cases God did instantly heal the
body of the physical addiction to drugs
and/or alcohol and removed the adverse
physical trauma associated with
withdrawal.
It is their long term experience
that they have never witnessed an
instantaneous healing for an alcohol or
drug abuser that went beyond the area of
the physical. This leaves more than 80% of
the substance abuser’s problems
untouched. Jesus sets the captive free by
removing the overwhelming desire for
alcohol or other drugs and has a complete
set of plans for total recovery. Those
plans are found in the Word of God.
Scripture outlines thousands of
promises that God has fulfilled in the
lives of Wings of Eagles members as they
have been obedient
to the Lord. There are no promises of
sobriety that are not contingent upon a
combination of faith and action. By the
leading of the scripture, godly counsel,
and the Holy Spirit, each has entered into
a daily plan of fellowship with other
recovering individuals. As the ministry of
Jesus was not done obscurely, the
recovering substance abuser cannot isolate
himself after being liberated from his
addiction.
It is therefore apparent that a
large number of individuals, both inside
and outside the body of Christ, have
recovered because they have employed the
time-tested tools for staying sober.
Addiction is a problem of the whole person
and recovery from its comprehensive damage
takes hard work, retraining, obedience,
and most of all time. There is no instant
cure for the spiritual and psychological
damage done by substance abuse.
The bad news is that it is
difficult to overcome substance abuse. The
good news is that today over one million
men, women and teens are sober because of
the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and
their dedication to the rigorous program
of spiritual and physical recovery. The
Wings of Eagles program recommends a
comprehensive approach to the problem of
addiction that neither denies the power of
Jesus Christ nor overlooks the addict’s
own responsibility for his own ongoing
recovery. The addicted person needs
healing in body, mind, soul and spirit if
he is to totally recover.
Equally as important, the families
of addicts, parents, wives, husbands and
children are confronting their own damaged
lives and need healing from their own deep
wounds. One of the common myths is the
belief that if the addict stops, his
family’s problems will disappear. This
is among the reasons that divorce among
recovering addicts and their spouses is
actually higher than in families where
substance abuse is still taking place. If
the family is to be healed, they too must
begin a program of recovery. The Wings of
Eagles group recognizes this need and
seeks to minister to the total family
problem.
The scripture that is most
appropriate for those who have been
delivered from addiction is Psalm 40:1-3
“I waited patiently for the Lord; He
turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted
me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud
and mire; He set my feet on a rock and
gave me a firm place to stand. He put a
new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to
our God. Many will see and fear and put
their trust in the Lord.”
