Freedom from Addictions

James 1:14-15
“14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.”
Ephesians 5:17-18
“17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,”
We can have greater joy in the Spirit than with things of the world.
To break out of addictions, there is a part that God must do and a part that we must do.
- We must reset our mind
Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.”
Our mind should be set on the Spirit’s desires. We must first sow an act. If we sow an act, we can reap a habit. If we sow a habit, we can reap a character. This is how we can reach the destiny that God has planned for us.
1 Corinthians 6:12
“12 “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything.”
Instead of justifying our addictions and sins, we must think whether they are beneficial to us in our life with Christ.
- Unlearn the lies
These are all lies and the Bible clearly tells us so.
We can change in Christ, we can be set free in Christ, and we are loved and accepted unconditionally in Christ.
Galatians 2:20
"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me."
Romans 8:1
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”
The whole Bible is a love letter, where God loves us unconditionally.
Galatians 5:24
“Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”
- Learn to say no to sin
It is because we are shortsighted that we go after temporary pleasures of the world. It is important to remember eternity and the bigger picture and then we can walk into God’s purpose of our life instead of detouring into small, temporary joys that the world can give us.
God has a plan for us even before we were born. We only have to obey Him and walk into our destiny. We must break every addiction that hinders us from our destiny.
