Addiction
Addiction is a chronic condition that can affect many aspects of your life, including your physical and mental health, relationships and career. There are two main forms of addiction: substance use disorders and behavioral addictions. Addiction is treatable. It’s crucial to seek help as soon as possible.
Addiction is a pressing issue that affects individuals, families, and communities worldwide. Echad Temple Oneness Ministries recognizes the profound impact addiction has on spiritual, mental, and physical well-being. Guided by biblical principles and a mission to restore lives, we offer faith-based solutions to help individuals break free from the cycle of addiction and rebuild their lives.
Addiction is more than a physical or psychological dependency; it is a spiritual battle. The Bible reminds us in John 10:10, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” Addiction steals the abundant life God intended for His people. It manifests in various forms, including substance abuse, gambling, and technology dependency, each leading to devastating consequences.
The Role of Faith in Recovery
Echad Temple Oneness Ministries believes that true healing begins with spiritual restoration. Through prayer, scripture, and a relationship with God, individuals can find the strength to overcome addiction. Key elements of our faith-based recovery approach include:
Supportive Community: Providing a network of believers who encourage accountability and growth.
Scriptural Guidance: Using the Word of God as a foundation for change (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Prayer and Intercession: Building a direct connection with God for strength and deliverance.
Our Approach
To address addiction, Echad Temple Oneness Ministries implements a holistic strategy that combines spiritual, emotional, and practical support. Our programs include:
Outreach Programs: Community initiatives to educate and prevent addiction through awareness campaigns.

Call to Action
Addiction does not have to define a person’s life. Echad Temple Oneness Ministries invites individuals and families struggling with addiction to join our faith-based programs. Together, through God’s grace and the power of community, we can overcome the chains of addiction and embrace a life of purpose and hope.
Technology and the Beast
Technology and the Beast of the Bible. The rise of technology has revolutionized the way humanity communicates, works, and lives. However, with these advancements come questions about their spiritual implications, especially in the context of biblical prophecy. At Echad Temple Oneness Ministries, we explore the connection between technology and the symbolism of the Beast as described in the Book of Revelation, providing insights into how believers can navigate these modern challenges.
The Beast of the Bible: A Prophetic Symbol
In Revelation 13, the Beast is described as a force of deception, control, and opposition to God. Verses 16-17 warn of a system that enforces allegiance through a “mark” without which no one can buy or sell. This prophecy has led many to associate emerging technologies—such as artificial intelligence, digital currencies, and surveillance systems—with the infrastructure that could enable such control.
Technology in Modern Society
Technology has become an integral part of everyday life, offering both benefits and challenges:
Economic Systems: Digital payment systems and cryptocurrencies reshape global commerce but could also pave the way for economic monitoring.
Connectivity and Communication: Social media and mobile devices connect people worldwide but also promote distractions and misinformation.
Data and Surveillance: Advancements in data collection and AI raise concerns about privacy and centralized control.
The Intersection of Prophecy and Technology
While technology itself is not inherently evil, its misuse can align with the warnings found in Scripture. Key areas of concern include:
- Global Control Systems: Technology enabling centralized economic or social control echoes the Beast’s prophesied dominion.
- Moral and Spiritual Erosion: The over-reliance on technology risks prioritizing convenience over faith and values.
- Deception through Media: Tools that spread misinformation or manipulate truth align with the deceptive nature of the Beast.
As technology continues to evolve, believers must engage with it thoughtfully and prayerfully. Echad Temple Oneness Ministries invites you to join our ongoing discussions and teachings on biblical prophecy and modern challenges. Together, we can remain faithful stewards of God’s truth while navigating the complexities of a technologically advanced world.
Education for children
The global education crisis affects millions of children and adults around the world, preventing them from accessing quality education and the opportunities it brings. This crisis is characterized by numerous challenges, including inadequate funding, lack of trained teachers, insufficient infrastructure, and socio-economic barriers. Addressing these issues is crucial for sustainable development and ensuring that everyone has the chance to achieve their full potential.
258 million children and youth are out of school, according to UNESCO.
69 million teachers need to be recruited to achieve universal primary and secondary education by 2030.
90% of children in low-income countries are unable to read and understand a simple story by the end of primary school. The education crisis is a root cause of many foundational societal problems, including crime, homelessness, and poverty. Without access to basic education, children are often trapped in a cycle of hardship, unable to break free from the conditions that limit their opportunities for a better future.
We are calling on individuals from all nations to join us in our mission to break the cycle of poverty through education. Your donations will go directly toward helping underprivileged children gain access to basic education—an essential step in lifting them and their families out of poverty. With your support, we can provide the resources they need to build a strong foundation for a better future, reducing crime, homelessness, and the other challenges that stem from educational inequality.
