Know Who you are in Christ To Overcome Any Addiction in Your Life

Text: James 1:23-25

The Bible in Hosea 4:6 says my people perish for lack of knowledge of Who they are ,What they are to do and How they are to do it. Our text says the Word of God is like a mirror. When we look in the Word, we don’t see ourselves the way the Devil says we are or other people say we are, but the way God says we are. Our text tells us that when we go to the mirror we see what God says we are, and when we walk away, we forget who we are according to the Word of God and do not practice to do the Word of God, and thereby allowing iniquity to prevail in our lives
Many interpret this to mean, that our sinfulness are highlighted by the Word of God. But looking at it in a better way is to see ourselves in the mirror of the Word of God as God sees us.

God doesn’t see our failures and sin; He sees the Blood of Jesus. God sees us healed without sickness. God sees us free without bondage. God sees us full of joy without sorrow. God sees us as winners and not losers. God sees us rich and not poor. God sees us holy and not sinful.

We take a look at the mirror of the Word of God, and forget what we saw and plead the negative situation or problem, and we plead guilt and condemnation thereby empowering the enemy.
Instead we should plead the blood of Jesus always as our access to our blessings in the Name of Jesus. When the Son of God sets us free we are free indeed. We should claim the blood of Jesus for our lives as the antidote to all problems.

To the drug addict, to the smoker, to the adulterer, we can boldly say: though they have said or tried several times to overcome their addiction to no avail in their own strength, because they had no willpower in themselves, but now in Christ Jesus their will power has been restored and redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb. They can now claim the blood of Jesus for their freedom and victory over those uncontrollable habits in Jesus Name. This is because when Jesus sweat drops of blood in the Garden of Gethsemane, our willpower was redeemed and given back to us.

All we have to do is to say “Father, I give you my will. I submit my will to the great IAM, I plead the Blood of Jesus over my life” and Jesus Christ will strengthen your will to do His will and the addiction will have to give way in Jesus Name, Amen.
