Addiction: What You HAD, HAS you

Addiction is one of those things that sneaks up on you. You start off ‘trying something’ and just like a magnet, you have to keep going back until what YOU HAD, HAS YOU.

Many people think of addiction to drugs, pornography, alcohol, or cigarettes. I’ve been thinking of addiction to things like TV, social media, food, having the last word, pride, and gossip.

DEFINED: Addiction is the fact or condition of being addicted or dependent to a particular substance, thing, or activity. God wants to help us get free from it ALL.

Jeremiah 33:3 says, ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’

You may be reading this and are struggling with addiction (of any kind at any level). Or maybe you’re like me, you’ve realized that there are areas in your life that you no longer ‘have control over’ but it is ‘controlling you.’

Here is your word: Obedience is Simple. But it’s not Easy.

I love you and I’m proud of you for having the wherewithal to consider that this is an area that the Father is putting His hands on. If you let Holy Spirit in, He WANTS to HELP you.

Philippians 2:13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.

IT’S TIME: I’m praying that as you take your next step: make a choice to change your pattern, ask for help, get a new plan, and do the plan. Decision by decision, day by day, we will all get free in Jesus’ name. 🙏
