God Says “Praise Chokes the Neck of Your Enemies.” Genesis 49:8
Who is your enemy today?
It mostly started In our bid to relieve stress and have a momentary run from thinking about our upsets and life problems.
Many of Us walked into a stress reliever, ( Eg social drinking Buddy, an online game, a smoke, shopping, drama watching) that later unwittingly, became our enemies ;(
What was your stress reliever that ultimately became your #addiction?
A drug? A drink? An online game? A Gamble Stake?
Has this drug or Behavior now become your nemesis? 😓
The devil worms many things and Anything your way… so long it distracts U from thinking about your problems. His Goal?
To turn these into default modes U automatically run to, instead of Daddy God, when stressed. And slowly but surely, your enjoyment started controlling you to a point of U just “cannot” stop.
U seem rooted and STUCK.
I truly understand.
I have been there.
I was once addicted to dramas. Yes, U heard right. Dramas!
Years ago, there was a period in my “ down”life when I started it as a stress reliever… and I ended binge watching every type of drama- Thai, Korean , Chinese, U name it..I can watch multiple dramas for many hours a day – non stop.
I just could not stop! This went on for months!
While I hated myself doing it, in my own strength I just could not.
That time, I do not know of any binge watching addiction rehab centre in Singapore!
I was also too ashamed to admit nor share this challenge I was having.
When I called out for God’s help,He reminded me a testimony Pastor Prince shared. How even in your Addictive Act , Eg watching pornography, smoking, Declare aloud… “I am Still the Righteousness Of God In Christ!” 2Corinthians 5:21
And many actually testified that they have eventually reduced and totally overcome the Desire and Craving.
I started doing this seemingly Crazy Self Treatment.
Since I can’t go Cold Turkey.
Instead, while binge watching, I kept declaring “ I am still the Righteousness of God in Christ!
Jesus, U can but I can’t!
As U don’t Binge watch, so I won’t in this world!
Becoz your Word said, “As Jesus Is, So Am I in this World.”
And U ( being Greater) is IN Me!
And Greater is He ( Holy Spirit’s help ) that is in me, than he ( devil and his addiction ploys tempting me) that’s in this world.
Yes , I am still the Righteousness Of God In Christ! 2 Corinthians 5:21
That’s my Identity! I am Not an Addict! That’s my bad habit!👊
I am Still A Jesus Gal!👊”
And U know what?
Slowly but Surely, I felt the craving to binge watch drop off and turn to “ no joy ” but tiredness instead , whenever I do it. Praise God! What I can’t, only He can.👊
Warrior & Warrior Princess… Yes U Are Still Daddy God’s Beloved Child!
Your Wrong Actions Does not define nor detract from your heritage!👊
U may have #addiction to #drugs, #alcohol , #gambling, #smoking, #incessant shopping, #online gaming….
Fear Not! U Can Still have a 2nd Chance at a Better Life!
Take God’s Addiction Deal Breaker!👊
👊Separate Your Problem from Your Identity! 👊
A Prince who falls into sinful behaviour- is Still A Prince.
Just A Fallen One.
His King still helps him Up and waits for him to Mature and take over his throne one day.
👊So likewise Stay Calm & Cool!
Knowing Daddy God has promised He Never Leaves U nor forsake U! Deuteronomy 31:6
