The life of addiction

What is the life of addiction? Well, this mean someone is caught up in some bad habit. This word addiction; is highly heard in people taking drugs, or have become an alcoholic. The ones trying to kick the bad habit need help from an expert to rehabilitate them.  

Trying to help yourself deal with your own problems can get you very frustrating. The best way to kick that bad habit is through Doctor Jesus, he is the best prescription for your problems. We finally came to our senses to realize that we were guilty of sin, and jeopardizing our souls to damnation for the rest of our lives, And we came to someone that can help detoxicify us from the filth of sin to remove what is not needed for the new life to come.

 (John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Remember when we came to our senses we came to terms that our bad habit’s would prevent us from receiving mercy to inherit eternal security. At this point we needed to go to a higher authority, and his name is Jesus Christ. Admitting your faults of sin with all your bad addiction to Jesus, and he will wash them away in his precious blood in the name of Jesus. He doesn’t just remove half the sins, and works on the rest later he removes them all. Remember, we have to put in mind that the Lord will come like a thief in the night. We will not know the hour, or time when he will come saying that, take that in consideration that you must be on alert at all times. That means to fulfill our obligation of our terms to live the life of holiness, and be an acceptable vessel before the Lord.

(Matthew 24:42,43,44)Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

 Have you heard the story of the rich man that wanted to go to heaven? The rich man asked Jesus. How could I inherit the Kingdom of Heaven? The rich man said, I have kept the rules of the Ten Commandments since I was young what do I yet lack to inherit the kingdom of heaven? Jesus replied, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and come and follow me. That did not go very well with the rich man, for he had great possessions that became an addiction that became his God. You can’t love mammon (Money) more then God. It seems that the more you have, the better you feel.  And God become last in your life, because you feel you have all you need accept God.     

(Matthew 19:16-23) And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 

And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.            

 His addiction that he had was money. It’s not a sin, to be rich; it’s the love of money that can corrupt the soul from spiritual prosperity. (I Timothy 6:10) For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Let’s talk about our total surrender with Christ, have you really given it all up? Did we put up the white flag, and dropped our weapons? It’s time to walk in righteous and leave our sins behind.

Reminder, when living in sin, who? was the source of ideas in the life style of sin? There is only one, slue foot himself, Lucifer (The Devil). He was never up to no good, have you ever watch a cartoon that had the Devil on one shoulder, and the angel of God on the other shoulder, advising what he or she is supposes to do. When we are adopted in the hands of the Lord we as Christian will have to deal with the slue foot himself (The Devil) he going try his hardest to get us to fall on the wayside. He will remind you of your old addiction you had in the pass, and try to resurface them to remembrance.

 Let me remind you that the word of the Lord tells us that we are surrendering our whole complete life to the Lord Jesus Christ as a living sacrifice; we have confessed our sins to the Lord Jesus to forgive us from our iniquity’s, our body and soul belongs to the Lord you will be in good hands. (Romans 12:1)I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.(I Corinthians 6:19)What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

If you say, I have a problem’s with lust, and God knows of this weakness, and in your own understand that God is working with this issue, wouldn’t you think; that if you’ve ask Jesus to remove all your iniquity’s from your life, God wouldn’t just remove half the sins from your life, and work on the other have later, he those a complete job to get you ready to enter the kingdom of heaven. Remember that we are on alert for the good theft to take up home (Matthew 24:44)
