Speaking to a recovery home

Our last day of ministry today was different then the rest. We went to a rehab center which was out doors mainly and had some small inside huts.
It was all men ranging from age 25-50 years old, each battling addictions.
We arrived not knowing what we were going to do at all or what to expect but met the men there and all gathered in a place where they worshiped in Hindi. Afterward, they wanted a couple men to speak.

Since I have had previous drug addiction problems in my life that Jesus freed me from, I was asked to speak and within 5 minutes I put together something to talk about and just let the Holy Spirit guide my tongue the rest of the way.

I would start saying something and I honestly had no idea what I was talking about or what was going to come out next but as I said one thing, something else came to mind and it put the previous thing into perspective and polished it off, making it all sound intelligent lol. I was jumping all over the place talking about vulnerability, love, shame, emotions and opening up to Jesus, friends, etc.
Verses came to mind like Luke 4:4,
Romans 6:13-14, 16, 21, Titus 2:11-12 etc… The message was rough yet the Holy Spirit gave me the words to speak as needed which made it clear and easily understood.

This was all done with a translator which was also a first for me. I have come to enjoy public speaking very much but would like to have a message prepared first haha. Then again, I love when God gives me the message while I’m speaking.

The men seemed to be impacted by what I shared based on their facial expressions and comments afterward. We prayed for them all and chatted for some time and then headed off.

Imphal has been a huge blessing to me and I pray that I was able to influence a few people along the way to further Gods kingdom.

I will be sending one more update in 10 days or so and will be on my way back to Canada excited for what God is directing me to next.
Life is so different when you have no material possessions holding you down and can just do as God says without second thought.
