Meet The Need Atlanta

Pastor Bob teaches the men.

Come get connected to Meet The Need at our weekly meetings — Every Tuesday at 7pm

Each Tuesday Night a large group of men come together with one common purpose… to learn how to overcome the addictions in their lives. These meeting are not only focused on overcoming drugs and alcohol addiction, but any type of bondage a man may be struggling with. This can be bondage to pornography, sex, gambling, or money.

We are pretty radical in that we do not believe in teaching a man that he will always be an addict. We do not believe that a man  should go to a series of meetings all his life to stand up and say, “Hi, My name is John and I am a drug addict”. We believe they should say what the Word of God says which is that they are an overcomer through Christ Jesus. ( Romans 8: 37  In all things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us) Yes, they were addicts, but if Jesus lives inside of them, then they are no longer an addict, but an overcomer (Colossians 1:27, Christ, Himself, is in me). We do not believe that a series of meeting will teach you to overcome anything. You can only overcome through Jesus. We also do not believe that addictions are diseases, we believe the Word of God teaches they are sin. We teach that addictions come from strongholds of the enemy that must be broken by the power of the Word and the Blood of Jesus. We believe that the battlefield is in the mind, and the mind is Satan’s playground (1 Corinthians 2:16, I have been given the mind of Christ). We believe that just as Jesus overcame the enemy through the Word, so can addictions be overcome through learning who we are in Christ Jesus. We believe as the Word says that “As a man thinketh, so is he”(Proverbs 23:7). MTN program participants are taught to think of themselves as God sees them, not as society sees them (Ephesians 4:24, I am righteous and holy. 1 Peter 2:5, I am one of God’s living stones and am being built up in Christ as a spiritual house.  Romans 6:1-6, I died with Christ, I died to the power of sin’s rule over my life)

Our Tuesday night meetings are taught by Pastor Bob Vann.
