The following program
discusses sensitive issues
00:00:01.06\00:00:03.38
related to addictive behavior.
00:00:03.41\00:00:05.03
Parents are
cautioned that some material
00:00:05.06\00:00:06.83
may be too candid
for younger children.
00:00:06.86\00:00:13.33
Welcome back.
00:00:13.36\00:00:14.39
What an incredible journey,
Alvy, I just have to say.
00:00:14.42\00:00:18.25
And Rene, thank
you for joining us.
00:00:18.28\00:00:20.09
This must be hard to hear.
00:00:20.12\00:00:22.84
Yes and no.
00:00:22.87\00:00:24.74
It would have been
very hard years ago.
00:00:24.77\00:00:27.26
But I had been
going through my journey
00:00:27.29\00:00:30.61
and the Lord has
really been healing me
00:00:30.64\00:00:32.97
and helping me to be
transparent and honest
00:00:33.00\00:00:36.12
and I'll tell you
having Alvy at my side
00:00:36.15\00:00:38.64
is the most
beautiful thing I can have.
00:00:38.67\00:00:39.93
Oh.
00:00:39.96\00:00:40.99
And you love her. Yeah.
00:00:41.02\00:00:43.99
You know, we're gonna,
00:00:44.02\00:00:45.05
we're gonna come
back and cover your story
00:00:45.08\00:00:47.08
'cause I want to hear
from your point of view
00:00:47.11\00:00:49.60
that what happened
in the journey back
00:00:49.63\00:00:52.22
and standing up as an
incredible man of God.
00:00:52.25\00:00:54.49
And, Alvy, you know with--
00:00:54.52\00:00:56.70
we're coming to a
close on this program.
00:00:56.73\00:00:58.91
I know that
there is women and men
00:00:58.94\00:01:01.15
that have been
in such situations
00:01:01.18\00:01:02.79
have been watching us.
00:01:02.82\00:01:04.06
Can you close out, just
give them a little hope?
00:01:04.09\00:01:07.01
What do you want to say to them?
00:01:07.04\00:01:10.04
God is with you and
for you all the time.
00:01:10.07\00:01:14.72
No matter how you feel.
00:01:14.75\00:01:16.36
What you're going to
do? How you were born?
00:01:16.39\00:01:19.78
What has happened to
you? You belong to God.
00:01:19.81\00:01:25.19
He has a purpose for
you and He soul up our light
00:01:25.22\00:01:29.07
and life and peace and
joy and if you don't know
00:01:29.10\00:01:33.11
what to do or where to
go to, just have faith.
00:01:33.14\00:01:38.42
Faith enough to
say, Lord, help me.
00:01:38.45\00:01:43.58
I want to believe
that I am your child
00:01:43.61\00:01:46.52
but sometimes we
cannot even believe that,
00:01:46.55\00:01:49.07
but say it.
00:01:49.10\00:01:50.85
Call on His name
and He will answer,
00:01:50.88\00:01:54.40
He will guide you,
He will restore you.
00:01:54.43\00:01:57.62
If He did it for me,
He will do it for you.
00:01:57.65\00:02:01.35
Amen. Thank you so much.
00:02:01.38\00:02:03.81
You know I just have to say
this was an incredible program
00:02:03.84\00:02:08.78
and that belief is everything
and sometimes the things
00:02:08.81\00:02:12.46
that you're having
to believe in don't even
00:02:12.49\00:02:15.19
everything in you
says that that's a lie
00:02:15.22\00:02:17.52
and this is crazy and you don't,
00:02:17.55\00:02:19.57
you can't trust
anybody, that's not true.
00:02:19.60\00:02:22.60
Believe God,
believe He is for you.
00:02:22.63\00:02:24.95
Turn it over to Him.
And you'll just be wowed.
00:02:24.98\00:02:29.18
Until we see you
next time, always remember
00:02:29.21\00:02:30.93
that God is crazy
about you, me too.
00:02:30.96\00:02:33.70
Bye.
00:02:33.73\00:02:34.76
