Rock Star Reveals That This Happens Without ‘the Lord in Your Life’

Rock star Alice Cooper, whose real name is Vincent Furnier, is grateful God saved him from addiction

He told Pastor Greg Laurie that he was doing heavy drugs one day when he saw blood running down his face. Then, his wife helped him go to rehab, where he sobered up.

After that, he never had to go to rehab again and never felt the desire for drugs again. He says God miraculously took his addiction away, which stunned doctors.

“I knew that there had to either come a point where I either accepted Christ and started living that life, or, if I died in this, I was in a lot of trouble,” Furnier said. “That’s what really motivated me. I just got to a point of saying I’m tired of this life and I know that [God] is right. When the Lord opens your eyes and you suddenly realize who you are and who He is, oh, it’s a whole different world.”

The rock star recalled meeting Elvis Presley in 1971, which wasn’t as great as some might think.

Elvis showed Furnier his most prized possession, some x-rays of a broken jaw and ankle he had caused in a recent street fight.

“This is your prized possession?” Furnier thought, reflecting on how sad Presley’s life was.

“He couldn’t go to the movies. He couldn’t go play pool,” Furnier explained. “He couldn’t do anything. And so this was his connection to the outside world, and I immediately thought, ‘I never want to be this big.’”

Since dedicating his life to Christ, the musician sees through the unsatisfying nature of fame.

“I think if you don’t have the Lord in your life, you’re always going to be trying to fill that hole with something,” he told Laurie. “ It’s either going to be drugs, or it’s going to be Ferraris…or this, or that… And you’re never going to achieve it.”

Furnier said Jesus isn’t talked about enough.

“He’s not preached enough,” he told Laurie. “[He’s] the most written about character of all time in history, and yet people go out of their way to not believe in Him.”

“I think it’s because they don’t want to give up their godship,” Cooper said. “They believe the Hollywood version of ‘Oh, I do more good than bad,’ that kind of thing. And I go ‘boy, Satan has you right where he wants you, to believe that.’”

Furnier used to be a slave to selfishness and his addictions; now he’s a servant of Christ, and he couldn’t be more content.
