Ephesians 5: 18 ".... but be filled with the Spirit. 2 Peter 1:3, " His divine power has given us everything we need"....
Who can do the impossible. No one but Jesus.
I wanted to share something that I am aware of, because of experiencing it. We call it addictions, but I would rather call it a stronghold. No matter what it may be.... alcohol, drugs, food, caffeine, pornography, .... So many things in our life that can be broken.
Most addictions, (strongholds) don't come on a person suddenly. Rather they develop as we experiment, and then continue because we like how it makes us feel satisfied or whole. Then we become physically dependent. Anything that we depend on to escape, cope with, or find relief from the struggles and stresses of life, is a stronghold.
There is an empty place in all of us that nothing can fill but Jesus Christ. Maybe you were hurt. Maybe you don't feel that you're good enough for anything. Maybe you think you're too far gone to do anything about it. All are lies of the enemy. We have to address the physical with the spiritual.
Our bodies are the temple of the living God, and anything that controls us makes us slaves to something other than God. Romans 6 versus 12 through 14.
Because of what Jesus has done for us, we are made alive in Him. It's our choice. We can either align ourselves with the truth of God's solution, or continue to spiral down. God is always waiting with open arms hoping for us to choose Him.
1 Corinthians 10:13 God will always provide a way out. We can choose to believe this truth. Or we will more than likely continue to experience 1st Peter chapter 5 verse 8. Satan will always look for a way to devour us. Our health, our relationships, you name it. He's ruthless!
Don't wait till it's too late. Do something about it now. Don't wait to get a doctor's report and then say, "oh how I wish I listened."
No power on earth can ever stop what the Holy Spirit starts in you. When you feel that craving coming on, ask God to meet you right there.
For Your glory Lord
