Uncontrolled Addiction

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Galatians 5:1

Worship Song: Redeemed

 


Meditation:

    Behavioral science experts believe that any source capable of stimulating a person can be addictive, and whenever a habit changes into an obligation, it can be considered an addiction. If this is truly the case, then many persons are struggling with some form of addiction without knowing or realizing they have an addiction. Some signs that a person might be addicted may include, but are not limited to, unexplained changes in attitude or mood, increased irritability or angry outbursts, changes in demeanor, withdrawal, secretive behavior, and neglecting responsibilities. 

    Regardless, there is nothing that we can be addicted to that the Lord cannot deliver us from. Jesus can free us of any addiction that is preventing us from living a normal life. Jesus came not only to die for our sins but to bring liberty to the captives and open the prison doors to release those who are bound by their condition. Stand fast, therefore, in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Jesus does not only care about the spiritual man; he cares about our well-being as well. Almighty God has offered us new life in Jesus Christ, which we can experience through the vastness of His love. Come unto me, all that are heavy laden, and I will give you rest, says the Lord.

Let us pray:

    Sovereign God, the chain breaker, I place every individual who is challenged by addictions before you and speak the name of Jesus over every addictive spirit. Look with compassion upon us, mighty God, who are enslaved by addiction. Break the chains of strongholds that bind us, and release us from every spirit of obsession. Father God, I speak the name of Jesus over the spirit of addiction to alcohol, gambling, substance abuse, eating disorders, sinful practices, and every addiction that affects our ability to function normally. Sovereign God set the captives free to be used as your vessel to shepherd others to glorify you, my God. Father, break the shackles, deliver us from the bondage of sin, and set us free in the name of Jesus Christ, the son of God. Amen.

Peace and love. ✌💕

    The weakness of humanity are revealed in our every day operations. One of each disorder is discovered in individuals. To the person who is not living by the principles of the Lord it may feel normal and enjoyable
    But for those who are living by the discipline of the Lord it bother one's conscience and nudges one to make correction. It is by this dictate one is help when obediently follow the Holy Spirit prompting. That God help is available for any kind of addiction. God is able.

In Him Will I Trust

Good morning Scripture reading: Psalm 20 Worship song: I Will Say of The Lord   Meditation:      When the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir rose up against King Jehoshaphat of Judah, he became afraid and sought the Lord's help. He proclaimed a solemn fast throughout all of Judah, and all the people stood before God, including women and children, seeking his divine help against the great armies. Jehoshaphat urged the people of Judah and Jerusalem to believe in the Lord God and trust the word of the messenger, and they would prosper and triumph in the battle against the army that pursued them. He also appointed singers to worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness and to praise him for his mercy endures forever (2 Chronicles 20).       When you are facing giants, cry out to God, trust His plans, and worship Him with a sincere heart; praise Him in the beauty of holiness. Do not be like those who trust in earthly rulers, human strength...

Purification of The Heart

By

Good morning Scripture: St. Matthew 15:8-20 Worship song: Create in Me A Clean Heart   Meditation:      The heart symbolizes the center or core of our being from which we operate. It is like the driving force behind our actions. It can be referred to as a person's character or the place within a person where feelings or emotions are generated. The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Jeremiah, the prophet, says, who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9). Only God can. He searches the heart, tries it, and rewards every man according to his ways and the fruit it produces. The heart is like a factory where products are produced and exported.       Whatever evil the heart produces, it will be shipped throughout the rest of our body, exit through our mouth, and defile us. Among the things that the heart produces are evil thoughts, wickedness, stealing, envy, striving, covetousness, and the like. A person is made or broken by wha...

Miracle Working God

Good morning Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. (Jeremiah 17:7). Hymn: My Hope is Built on Nothing Less   Testimony:      When God has you covered, when his hands of mercy and grace are extended, and when your faith is stronger than your situation, you can rejoice and glorify the King of kings. My faith and trust in God are further heightened, and my hope has increased after hearing a victory testimony from a relative who doctors thought had no chance of survival after his diagnosis. I can truly say my God is good, O, and he is still working miracles. A recent medical examination determined that there was no trace of cancer in his body. Through prayer, praise, faith, trusting God, a strict diet plan, follow-up visits to the physician, and nurture and care by his loving wife, who stood by him, pampering, comforting, and nursing him, he is now rejoicing and giving God thanks. Look what the Lord has done.     ...
