Day 21 of 40 Days of Glory and Fasting is complete!! Join us for day 22 as we finish praying against addictions.
Here is the replay for today:
Drugs aren't the only thing people can be addicted to!! Addictions can often be things we use to mask trauma, a void that only God can fill, or even a generational curse that needs to be broken.
Types of addictions: drugs, social media, food, soda, coffee, exercise, tv, shopping, work, sex, and so much more. An addiction is something that helps you feel better and you feel like you can't cope without it. When you don't have it, it's hard for you to function.
James 4:7-8 NLT
[7] So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. [8] Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.
Sometimes the addictions that people deal with is a reflection of the pride in their hearts. It is a way of saying "my way of healing or coping is better than God's way." One of the first steps in overcoming addiction is to humble ourselves unto the Lord. Humility is a mighty weapon for overcoming the enemy of addiction. It is in humility that then we are able to truly resist the enemy at his game.
1 Corinthians 15:33-34
[33] Don’t be fooled: “Bad friends will ruin good habits.” [34] Come back to your right way of thinking and stop sinning. Some of you don’t know God. I say this to shame you.
Some relationships are seasonal, some are forever, and some just aren't good for us in general. Those that are not good for us or those whose season is up, it's time to let them go. The Lord wants you to be connected to divine connections, those who will lift you up. He wants to partner you with people who will not only hold you accountable but people who can help carry you through into your breakthrough. Just like the friends in Mark 2:2-5 who carried their paralyzed friend up on the roof and lowered him down to Jesus, the Lord wants us to have friends who can pray us through into healing and deliverance.
We also must be mindful of judging those who are struggling with addictions. We don't know what got them to that point. Several things can cause addictions such as childhood trauma, issues within their adulthood, or even a generational curse that needs to be broken. This is not to say excuse their behavior but, understand that none of us are exempt from being at risk of falling into some type of addiction. Lastly, the Lord gave us a warning during prayer today. He brought to our attention to not ignore His nudging. He has asked many to seek help with the addictions they are struggling with or either turn away immediately from what pulls us away from Him. It's time to take the way of escape or there maynot be one next time.
1 Corinthians 10:12-13 ERV
[12] So anyone who thinks they are standing strong should be careful that they don’t fall. [13] The only temptations that you have are the same temptations that all people have. But you can trust God. He will not let you be tempted more than you can bear. But when you are tempted, God will also give you a way to escape that temptation. Then you will be able to endure it.
I encourage you to listen to my testimony of how God delivered me from prescription medication, over-the-counter medication, doctors, and abortions. The Lord is ready purify your heart. He is ready to strengthen you and restore you as you stand on the firm foundation of Jesus as He has promised in 1 Peter 5:10 NLT

PLEASE NOTE:

This is not your typical fast! You can choose what food(s) you're going to fast from. My advice is to fast from the food(s) that has you in a chokehold. Whether it be fast foods, sodas, bread, coffee or energy drinks, the Lord will give you strength! You are allowed to do a Daniel Fast too. Fast for 24 hrs. a day or from 6 AM to 6 PM, skip meals, etc. Let the Holy Spirit help you decide what your 40 days of fasting will look like. Please consult your physician for any medical advice and/or before starting any type of fast. No medical advice will be given from myself or my team.
ALTHOUGH WE HAVE SPECIFIC POINTS WE ARE PRAYING INTO DAILY, DON'T FORGET TO WRITE DOWN YOUR LIST OF THINGS THAT YOU ARE BELIEVING GOD TO DO FOR YOU.
