Timothy Bentum, an actor who is now a pastor, credits God for intervening in his life and helping him overcome a 17-year drug addiction.

He said he had never experienced withdrawal symptoms from cocaine, which made his experience unusual.

He expressed his belief that God used his embarrassing experience as testimony during an interview on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show.

“I think God played a huge role in me overcoming cocaine addiction,” he added.

It was previously disclosed by the founder of Timothy Bentum Ministries that he had been “enthusiastically devoted to the sniffing of cocaine for twelve years.”

As Mr. Bentum clarified, he fell in love with smoking wee, or Indian hemp, at the same time that he was recovering from his addiction to cocaine. He told the press that he enjoyed smoking wee for five years.

“12 years of cocaine addiction, five years of wee addiction, in all seventeen years of addictions to the devil. If you find out how much we have done for Satan, you will understand our passion to do this for God. We have spent many years doing things for the devil and this is the time we think we can marshal for Christ,” Timothy Bentum said in 2017.

The gifted actor reiterated this point, saying that recovering from a drug addiction is extremely difficult.

He noted that despite seeking assistance from a few clinical psychologists and mental health experts during his struggle with cocaine addiction, it was ultimately the intervention of God that aided him.

“I think my purpose for being there was to assist others, and for everyone I have assisted, the first step is to acknowledge that there is a problem.

“Admitting that there is a problem is about 20% of the problem solved, and so once the person admits it, then we can forge some kind of road to recovery.

“So number one is establishing that there is a problem, number two is bringing in the Jesus factor. Three is separating yourself from your usual social circle of friends, and four is making sure you take responsibility for everything you do. “That has worked for me and those that I have met.”

Timothy Bentum has been a celebrity, a presenter, and an actor before giving up everything to concentrate on his calling.
