Zachery Tims: How To Keep Your Husband (or Wife) Who Is a Pastor From Using Drugs

We did not want to mention the truth about what we used to see on TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network), but there were times we used to see Zachery Tims acting as though he was on drugs: massive sweats, talking rapidly and saying things out of the norm and one specific time, we tuned in, he was being interviewed by Paula White with his wife.  This was before he was accused of having an affair with a stripper.   It was so hurting to see and we knew he must have been on drugs, but we prayed for him.    Now that we have heard the news like the rest of you that Pastor Zachery Tims is dead and a white powdery substance was found in his pocket as he laid on the hotel room floor, it hurts even more.   We never expected his life would end as a result of what we suspected while watching him on TBN.  May Zachery Tims rest in peace and we pray He is in the arms of Jesus Christ. 

Our heart goes out to Pastor Riva Tims, Zachery wife and their children.  They both made a nice couple and made a good example of how God can build a ministry through a marriage.   They had a dynamic blessed union.   It was Satan who destroyed their marriage and we feel bad that Pastor Zachery Tims had been overcoming his drug habit since he was 19 years old.   That's a very long time until his death at age 42 to be dealing with trying to overcome it. He built such a great ministry and reached over 300 million television viewers, according to a source.  That's so great, to have been able to get off of drugs, testify about it and go into the ministry and spread the Word of God across the nation and abroad.  No matter how much Pastor Zachery Tims may have had difficulty trying to kick the drug habit, he yet testified about God's deliverance, that's awesome.

• Together, you must fast and pray.  On a daily basis, make it a habit to fast and pray against the demon of using drugs.   You see, a lot of churches and ministries today are into making so much money and fame, they have forgotten the importance of fasting and praying.   One time, we heard Creflo Dollar make fun of what they used to call tarrying, there is nothing wrong with tarrying.   Tarrying is constant prayer to reach heaven, so God can save and deliver those among us.   The church is so caught up on keeping up with the celebrity lifestyle, they refuse to fast and pray.  The Bible speaks about fasting and praying.  It says this in Matthew 17:1, "Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. " Meaning, fasting and praying is the only way to be loosed from Satanic dominion.


• Everyday when you wake up, start praising God for delivering you from using drugs.  Out loud, no matter if your wife or kids are around, begin praising the Lord and do this at least 3 times a day before you go to bed.

• Stop hanging with those who use drugs and continue to preach against that demon on a regular basis.   Those who use drugs are not necessarily those in the streets, it is those behind the pulpits.  You must let them know, unless they stop using drugs, you cannot have anything else to do with them, because by living a hypocritical lifestyle, it will offend God and destroy everything God gave you: your marriage, your ministry and your children.  So, you must let them go unless they desire to want to be saved and delivered from drugs.
