What's the meaning of it ALL
12 (As in twelve steps of NA)
THE NUMBER TWELVE
"PERFECT GOVERNMENT"
"PERFECT GOVERNMENT"
The number 12 is the last of the four numbers God uses to show his perfection. It's the number that shows God is in control and actively ruling over something as King. When God wants to show us that He is ruling and that there is a perfect plan, He likes to use the number twelve in his language, but for the purpose of revealing the hidden truths behind this organization’s intention, I will show that the spiritual influence behind Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous organization which is disguising itself as the truth is not truth at all.
(Satan disguises himself as an Angel of light)
2Corinthans 11:14 as: KJV
"And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."
Satan is never called an Angel of light. The angel of light is the Holy Spirit. Satan can only impersonate or pretend to be the Holy Spirit. Satan himself (transformed) puts on the fairest appearances or simply will disguise himself as an Angel of light. He inspires and influences false pastors, leads a false church, promotes false doctrine etc. The 12 step program, Narcotics Anonymous promotes a God of your own understanding, not the true and Living God, by which we must come through Christ for salvation from sin. So the number twelve signifies that the god behind this program has incorporated 12 steps (perfect governmental steps) to recovery. The god of this program could be anything according to NA literature, but according to Ephesians 6:12 it says, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” The C.D.S. Ministries only agenda is to expose the lies of the enemy and reveal the truth of the Kingdom of God. I think it is fair to say that an unbeliever is supposed to take their personal stance, or rather human viewpoint of their own recovery when they don’t know Christ. People can choose to worship and seek whatever god they choose. We all have free will. But it states in 2 Corinthians 5:20, “Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. This is not an attack on NA members, but a plea to be reconciled to God and to come out from among the lies that the enemy has set up in their minds.

This is not an attack on NA members, but a plea to be reconciled to God and to come out from among the lies that the enemy has set up in their minds.
There have been countless efforts to discredit NA, but as for me, I am simply exposing the lies of satan according to the word of God. While analyzing and discerning the spirit behind this program and its literature, I found that the word Powers , according to Strong’s G, translates to mean the power of rule or government (the power of him whose will and commands must be submitted to by others and obeyed) (universally) (authority over mankind). I also found that the word Principalities, according to Strong’s G, translates to mean that by which anything begins to be, the origin, and the active cause. The etymological translation of principality is the territory or jurisdiction of a prince. Well what prince/ruler would you say is in operation when you hear people admitting they are powerless over their addiction and confessing their past affliction [in the flesh] in the present? Clearly the word of God tells His people that they are new creations in Christ Jesus and that we were crucified with Christ and have also been raised with him in the Heavenly place. What fellowship has light with darkness? (2Cor. 6:14)
How can we as believers continue to openly confess our past afflictions in our new life? God doesn’t remember our past sins, so why are believers reminding GOD of what He has forgotten. (Hebrews 8:12)
We are being deceived into believing the doctrines and literature of NA/ AA. When has it become more acceptable to God for His people to exalt 12 steps over His word? I would like to share with you what I found in Romans 8:9, “However, you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if indeed the spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the spirit of Christ, he does NOT belong to Him." So when I put two and two together, I realized that this territorial ruler and the origin of this program is teaching and facilitating their members to identify themselves by the flesh, as well as governing things in a way that leads people away from Christ and gives them options as to whatever god they choose to trust their recovery to, and churches are actually adopting the 12 steps as a way to recover instead of relying on God’s provision. Why are we, the believers and followers of Christ literally raising the enemy’s seed? Why have the Christians taken up the ideas of the world instead of abiding in the Standard the Father has given us? I become saddened when I hear of these things. It just ought not be so. There will be many people refuting what the Holy Spirit has told me to expose, but I am more concerned with what God says, than I am with what people think. The enemy has crept into our churches in the past, but now he has become even bolder in his attempts to destroy the children of God. He is just walking up in the Kingdom like he knows he has control over our minds. As if God needs assistance from a worldly view to restore his people…Wake up people, this is not game. Our personal recovery depends on our relationship with Christ; we grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 3:18)
We keep what we have through the Power of the Holy Spirit. We do however take certain steps in the recovery process, but not in a legalistic manner. It’s not about working the steps. It’s about seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all those other things will be added. (Matthew 6:33) Let’s not forget that the recovery process and the sanctification process are different because without Jesus and the guidance of the Holy Spirit a person is not reconciled unto God…According to the etymological definition, recovery means to regain health or strength. In no way is recovery an avenue of consecration or being made holy; it is only the regaining of strength of one’s physical, mental and emotional well being. In other words, something was taken from us or lost, and as a result we have to take back, reclaim, recuperate or recapture what had been taken. [In the natural] Now to be honest, the three most valued things that were taken from most people with drug addictions were their physical, emotional and mental health; all of which are housed in our souls.
The sanctification process has a whole different meaning and concept. According to Strong’s G, the Greek translation for the word ‘sanctification’ means ‘to separate from sinful things and dedicate to God or ‘to purify internally by renewing of the soul.’ Keep in mind that our souls consists of three things, as I partially mentioned above concerning the things that were taken or lost; which is the mind, the emotions and the will…When we give our lives to God through the confessing of Jesus Christ we are immediately redeemed by the blood and justified by faith, but our minds have to be renewed. (Romans 12:2) However, the sanctification process is the effects or rather the result of our submission and obedience to God and his word, which is His will. I pray that people will be able to see the difference in these processes. Recovery is excellent and much needed, but let’s not get recovery mixed with sanctification through Christ.
Recovery by it self does not connect people to God...NA and AA literature is NOT the Word of God, even though many members will argue me up and down that the 12 steps are from God...And guess what? They are right according to 2 Corinthians 4:4, "In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them" The god they are speaking of is the god of this world, which is satan. The true and living God would not promote or influence people to serve and find other gods, and His Kingdom is NOT divided against itself. John 6:44 clearly states, "No man can come to me, except the Father which has sent me draw him: and I will raise him up in the last day" So according to this scripture, no one can come to Christ unless he is drawn, and since the Trinity is made up of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, we see that NA and AA literature contradicts the bible. No where in there literature do we get any picture or indication of having to be drawn by the Holy Spirit. There's an article I read that truly explains the workings of the Holy Spirit. According to http://www.gospeloutreach.net/irresistible_grace.html, [God's call to salvation is unlimited, but his redemption is limited to those who believe. (Matt. 22:14) The Holy Spirit's conviction and drawing is what drags us to God. We do not come by our own will, which is utterly depraved and naturally hostile towards God. The word "draw" used in John 6:44 is taken from the Greek word "helkuo", which literally means to drag. When the Holy Spirit draws sinners, He literally drags them. Before salvation sinners are dead in trespasses and sin. A dead person is lifeless and not able to do anything. If you wish to move a dead person without any assistance, from one end of a place to another you must drag him. That is exactly what the Holy Spirit has to do to sinners to bring them to salvation. The Holy Spirit regenerates the unregenerate by turning a spiritually dead will that is in rebellion against God to one that is spiritually alive and willingly accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior. Thus, salvation is ALL of God and not of man in any way, shape or form. He deserves all the credit, Praise and Glory] So please be mindful of whats on page 61 of Narcotics Anonymous fifth edition, which says, "In Narcotics Anonymous, we rely on a loving God as he expresses Himself in our group conscious, rather than on personal opinion or ego. By working the steps we learn how to depend on a Power greater than ourselves, and to use this Power for our group purpose. We must be constantly on guard that our decisions are truly expression of God's will."
First of all, I would like for you to notice how their literature excludes the personal views/beliefs that someone has about an issue..It's all about the groups views and beliefs. Secondly, I want you to see how they exalt the steps and actually imply that the 12 steps is how one learns how to depend on a power greater than themselves. But according to Psalms 118:8, "It is better to trust in the Lord, than to put confidence in man." And what power are they speaking of? Could it be the prince of the power of the air. (Ephesians 2:2)
And last but not least, why must the group constantly guard their decisions to make sure they are truly expressions of God's will when each individual can choose a god as they understand him, and when in reality God's will is His word, but they don't follow it, practice it, write about it or even teach it. So what are they guarding against? I pray that I am able to provoke the thoughts of someone who is being deceived by this principality, which is rooted in serving false gods..
Be Blessed!
