ADDICTIONS KIT
INTRODUCTION
Addictions; Weight Loss; Smoking; Drugs; Sexual Addictions: this will work for anything and anyone. I had a 35 years addiction to food. I would lose 20 and gain 30 and so on and so on. You may be going through that right now. I finally found myself at 304 pounds. I should weigh about 200 pounds. I was morbidly obese; over a hundred pounds overweight. I had been set free of many things and I knew what Promise to stand on, but this one thing just wouldn’t seem to go. It is hard to lose weight when you are 61. But through Christ and his Word; specifically, his promises are things are possible.
As many of you know I teach on Divine Healing. I ended up in the hospital last January for three weeks and nearly died. Divine Healing worked but if you violate the laws of health; which I had; God’s mercy can only protect you so far on this earth. That’s how he made us. God was so merciful to me. When I was in the hospital, he just reset me, and I broke through.
God transformed me and freed me from a 35-year-old addiction. I told him I couldn’t do it-only through him and Romans 8:1,2 and he did it. The chances of man with a food addiction for 35 years kicking it by willpower no matter how much he loved his family are nearly zero.
For a long time, I have wanted to show people how to overcome addictions. The only problem was I had the Promise from God’s Word but not the experience. Now I have the experience too and can teach it.
I am going to focus mainly on my food addiction, but these Promises work on every area: from smoking to sexual addictions and everything in between.
I stood on the promise and told him I couldn’t do it in my own strength and with my own will power and I needed him and went to Romans 8:1,2 and it worked miraculously. God just broke it. The temptation to overeat and eat junk wasn’t there.
The real test was what would happen when I got out of the hospital and got home. Would I go back to my old habits or toe the line. The temptation to overeat and eat junk wasn’t there. I have lost about 85 pounds as I communicate this to you. I am not perfect; I have my not as good days; but I am victorious-Thank you Jesus.
1. There is No Condemnation in Christ
Romans 8:1(ESV)
1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are Christ Jesus.
I used to try and lose weight and then would eventually fall off the wagon and would fall into condemnation and then just give up. Then maybe a year or two later I would try again, and the same thing would happen. I would lose 20 and then gain 30 pounds. Sound familiar.
This time I stood on the Promise that there is no condemnation.
2. The Greater Law Trumps the Lesser Law
Romans 8:2 (ESV)
2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
The two greatest laws in the universe are the Law of Spirit of Life and the Law of Sin and Death.
The Law of Spirit of Life is the Holy Spirit working through what Jesus accomplished for us on the cross when he brought us complete victory in every area.
The Law of Sin and death is the second greatest law. If you do not actively put faith in the first law in areas that you struggle in, you will automatically default to this law. You will sin; which means to miss the mark.
3. Must be Mixed with Faith
Hebrews 4:2 (ESV)
2 For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened.
You must believe. Remember the 12 spies. 10 brought back a negative report and only two (Joshua and Caleb) a positive report. Which side are you on. God will help you to believe. Spend time in the Word and just ask him to help with your unbelief and help you to Believe.
4. Faith must be backed up with Action (Works)
James 2:17-18 (ESV)
17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
Actions
The problem is willpower. I believe all of us have tendencies to certain sins in our lives.
Now I don’t blame anyone for my eating addiction. I owned this myself. I am just grateful that I had a God who had given me a promise and decades later I would believe and overcome this.
