Listen "Fighting Addictions"
Episode Synopsis
FIGHTING ADDICTIONS
Addiction is a repeated involvement with a substance or activities despite the substantial harm that it now causes because the involvement was and will continue to be pleasurable or valuable.
Struggling with habits is almost as old as humanity. The bible's solution for overcoming temptation is that God brings you out of it. Your deliverance from temptation is the work of God. You are not meant to deliver yourself. If you're trying to deliver yourself, you're in trouble. Faith is evidence in the unseen. Let God be true and everything else lies!!.
Whether you believe it or not God has done it already. In your spirit there is victory, in your soul, you are aligning with what God has said. You might be struggling but you have been delivered! Overcoming habits is a result of mind renewal. Watch yourself according to the word of God, not the last time you fell.
HOW TO FIGHT AGAINST ADDICTIONS
1. Accept the new perspective that God has delivered you.
2. Burn bridges.
Identify your weaknesses and burn the bridges that connect you to them.
If you accept the new perspective and you don't burn bridges, you will still fall. Stop gratifying the flesh. Abominate idleness from your mind. Some temptations come to everybody but temptation always comes to the idle man. Avoid and guard against unnecessary ...
3. Exchange your weakness for His strength.
You must desire the things of God. Invest also in a compelling dream. When you give room for the Spirit of god the devil will have no room in your life.
4. Prayer
God has delivered me!! In temptation, what you focus on, is what will happen. Temptations are suggestive thoughts.
