Peaceful Sleep

by B.C.O. , Italy

I am writing to share with you my testimony of how God delivered me from the addiction of sleeping medicine. I have been in prison for the past two years, and ever since I was arrested and sentenced to four years imprisonment I had never had one day of sleep without a sleeping pill. Without taking those pills there was no way I could sleep. Each time I tried to resist, it seemed that I was going to die. A deep fear, which I always find difficult to explain, came into my heart and caused my heart to start beating fast. So to avoid that, I kept taking those pills to the extent that I got addicted to them.
I started reading KCM faith books, and ever since I started reading your books and listening to the audio ministry messages, my faith in God has increased to a higher level. I learned how to pray a prayer of faith and a prayer that produces results, I mean positive results. As I kept reading, I also kept praying for God to deliver me from the addiction of sleeping pills. Then I received a magazine from your ministry titled Believer’s Voice of Victory. On the front page it was written, “If you’re bound, realize God desires for you to be completely free.” So I said to myself, This is God’s Word and His promises for me and His desire is to set me free completely from the desire and addiction of sleeping pills
When I read about how God set a prisoner free from drugs, I was so touched that I said to God, “In Your presence I come also with a heart of repentance. Please deliver me from the addiction of sleeping pills.”  I kept on praying, and as I did I stopped taking the pills, though it wasn’t easy for me at all.
For the past seven months I have been completely delivered from the addiction of sleeping pills. I’ve been sleeping peacefully without any pills. I tried all I could with my own power, without seeking the help of God to stop it, all to no avail. Thanks to KCM for helping build my faith in God and helping me realize I can build up a faith that produces positive results, even if I’m still in prison. My mind is so much at rest, praise God.
