Step Three - 12 Spiritual Principles to Recovery to Relationship with God, Self, and Others

Step Three:  Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the will of God as we understood God.

In Step 1, we recognized we were powerless over our self-destructive behavior and that our lives had become unmanageable. 

In Step 2, we came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.  We cried out for help.  

In Step 3, we make the intentional conscious choice because we have made an extreme mess of our lives to turn our willful intention to God as we believe in God to save our lives and mind, restore us to sanity.

The 12 Spiritual Principles humble those of us who self – destructive behavior has taken us down to our lowest level.  Here we acknowledged, we have not only not made quality choices for our lives, we need and desire the influence and leadership of God to re – orient us to right living, loving and productivity.

When we visited the disrespectful son of Luke 15 in Step 2, in Step 3, we examine his return more closely.  From information observed, we discover an approach regarded the last thing to nothing left to lose.  We have cried out for help in Step 2 and now in Step 3 look to the Creator of the Universe to save us from our self – destructive history and ourselves.

We note the disrespectful son from the end of his self – destructive run saying to himself that his father’s workers have it better than him.  He will return home and submit himself to his father’s service.

When you have discovered yourself at the bottom of your self – destructive behavior with nowhere else to go but the grave, where did your thoughts seek help?  Did you keep trying to fix yourself without success, or were you so desperate you were willing to call out to God to save you from yourself.

Even Jesus had to submit himself to the will of God when his way would have avoided the pain, suffering and humiliation of the cross.  Learn how to save ourselves, turn your lives around and, do Step 3 of the 12 Spiritual Principles to Recovery to relationship with God, self and others when you join me this week from theTeaching Ministry of New Eden and Oscar Crawford Christian Media.
