IT DOESNT MATTER HOW HOPELESSLY ADDICTED YOU MAY SEEM,FROM TODAY YOUR ADDICTION IS GOING OUT...WHATEVER IT IS
Listen the more you try not to sin or fight an addiction,the more you will fall into it rapidy.its human nature as romans 7 19 states"the good I want to do I do not but the very evil I try avoid,I always do."You should know that by now...Afterall you are human.Human flesh is prone to do such behaviour.Infact...romans 7 19 is Paul remembering how the law always played him out,no matter how hard he tried" For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature,For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out."Yeah Paul sucked under the law just like everyone else (except Jesus ofcourse)
Then you may ask,How do I break from the addictions.Whether its cocaine,pornography,cigarettes,alcohol or whatever weird addiction you have but don't like.There is only one way to become more like Jesus.
"And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit."IN SIMPLER TERMS,FOCUS ON JESUS AND HIS WORK HE HAS DONE FOR YOU AT THE CROSS.
Whenever you find yourself with the urge or having already given in to the addiction.Keep in mind of what Jesus did for you at the cross,and the results of no condemnation and also of your unbending righteousness by faith.Listen addictions are a stronghold.You might lose it in a day or in a year but I assure you in the end it will be all gone and you will have no interest in it.
What happens is that you will be so into Jesus and His love for you that the addictions just gotta go.They will leave effortlessly.IT MAY TAKE A WHILE BUT IN THE END YOU WILL BE FREE AND ALL THE GLORY WILL BE TO GOD.
Try this today and wherever you are tempted or are already doing what you dont want to do,in the midst of indulging in your addiction,allow God to love you,dont feel guilty or dirty as that insults the work of Jesus on the cross for you.The addiction will definitely go sooner or later.Just focus on Jesus and ON HIS ETERNAL,UNENDING LOVE FOR YOU.IT TRULY WORKS...
