I am 42 years old. At the age of 15 I became drug dependent. In the beginning I used an easy drug (marijuana). At the age of 17 I began to use morphine and opium. I really liked this pleasure and was ready to do anything just for the sake of it. Doing that it brought me into prison at the age18. After prison I continued to use drugs and soon appeared intolerant again. When I was released I became addicted to drugs again, and nothing could stop me, neither my parents, nor authorities nor me. In the course of time it eventually began to bother me. I dreamed to be delivered from this addiction. I even passed through the different courses of treatment, but medicine was powerless to free me. Because of the emptiness in my heart I fell again and again and continued to use drugs. Arriving in Israel, I hoped that it would of been the beginning of a new life, but after half-year I began to use drugs again. And I got arrested again and put in prison. All of it brought me to the point, why me?, a 41 year old drug addict, with 24 years experience, I should of died from an overdose then, they did pronounce me clinically dead, and the Lord stopped me from going straight to hell.The next day I came to the rehabilitation center. God rescued me out of the slavery to darkness. He released me from every dependence (narcotics, alcoholic,and tobacco), cured me spiritually and healed my soul, and even healed me physically. God changed my mind and my way of living. Opened my eyes and showed me that He is alive and real. I finally understood that without a living connection with Him I can't be totally free. I devoted my life to God and followed after him. It is a actual miracle of Jesus Christ in my life!
