VERY IMPORTANT! PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE IN YOUR CONTACT LIST

On Thursday, April 10th at 6:30 p.m. there will be a special broadcast of New Mexico Crystal Darkness. It will be airing on almost every television station in New Mexico. This is an historic and unprecedented opportunity to educate the community and our youth about the deadly dangers of Crystal Methamphetamine. The television stations are being EXTREMELY generous in their gift to the community and there will even be a Spanish version available as well (which will be aired Saturday, April 12th at 10:30 a.m.).

This terrible drug is tearing apart families, communities, businesses, cities, states and nations. This is part of a massive nationwide effort to fight back against this drug, but Thursday, April 10th is New Mexico’s opportunity to do something about it.

 Make sure you plan on making it a priority to watch this program with your entire family. Please do your friends, co-workers and neighbors a great favor by forwarding this e-mail and flyer to everyone on your list.

 Do not miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to participate in a massive community wide effort. For more information you can go to www.crystaldarkness.com.

 New Mexico is only the 7^th state to have a campaign like this and the other states that have had similar initiatives have seen positive results in their communities regarding meth.  PLEASE share this with family members, friends, co-workers, church and civic leaders, and everyone you know.  The more people who watch this will result in a better chance of fighting this scourge.  THANKS…Darrel

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place. I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.                                 2 Chronicles 7:14-16

There are many fine organizations and millions of dollars spent in fighting the drug war! This war has been fought over and over. The drug war will never be won with just natural means. It is a spiritual battle as well. The cause of what gets people addicted to drugs can be talked about and debated as can the cures we seek to effect.  As a former drug addict, alcoholic and member of an outlaw motorcycle gang, I can speak first hand of the destruction to persons, families and society.

The natural man has certain strengths and abilities to overcome certain barriers but not all barriers.

I had tried to quit my rebellious lifestyle more than once and never had long term success until I learned of a power greater than the drugs and lifestyle I worshipped. There are many good programs out there but none worked for me the way a personal relationship with God has. Reading the Bible and committing to a personal relationship with God gave me a hope and even a consciousness I had never encountered before. It gave me something bigger than myself and longer lasting than the “high” I experienced as a person lost in the world of things that I chose to stay bound to.

Years later after having served at the rescue missions, jails and prisons and counseling thousands of men and women I stand by my conviction that this is a spiritual war and so we must employ all resources available secular and spiritual. Please support all the fine organizations seeking to make an effect in this area.

What man could not do for me God did, so I will not limit anyone in the approach to freedom, deliverance and healing. Will you?

I stick the needle in my arm, pulling the band tighter making sure the vein is available.  I pull back the plunger watching the syringe fill with blood; knowing I’m where I should be to get “my bump” for the time being; my jolt, my fix, not going to deep so I don’t poke through the vein and waste my high.  I continue to watch the blood pulled into the syringe. The darkest, red, crimson in color, scarlet red.  It’s then a story comes into my mind of blood, pain, death, and life.  Here I am using my own blood to kill me.  Oh, the temporary result is a feeling of satisfaction, power.  But the story of another’s blood keeps haunting me.  His blood when given saved people gave everlasting peace, everlasting joy.  My blood kills, his blood heals.  Why?  What is it in me that wants me to destroy myself?  My blood now polluted with drugs is killing me.  I slowly pull the syringe out of my arm, untie the band, break off the needle, and throw the syringe away. I look at the tracks, scars on my arm from repeated self-poisonings.  Why should I die?  Where is the blood that gives life?  The blood of hope, blood of salvation.  If I want to inject something into my life I need that blood.  The blood of Jesus, his is the only blood that heals.  So I ask each of you, no matter what you’re injecting into your life that is killing you day by day.  I ask you turn away before it’s too late,  to come to the cross; to put Jesus in your life; into your blood.  To fill yourself with hope, peace, love, joy, eternal life all through Christ.  Please stop killing yourself, so you can live forever with Jesus.
