James 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
If a person gets addicted to drugs, there are man-made solutions, and interventions that can help in such situations, but let it be known that any intervention without Christ would not last unto eternal life. A person might be delivered from the bad habit, or they might be able to zip up their boots, and catch themselves, but without Christ sitting on the throne of the mind, the old devil will find some other back door through which he will enter, and he will cause just a different type of problem.
Matthew 12: 43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished.
[3] The human mind is endowed by our Creator with the power of choice and decision. In most instances where addiction has not yet set in, everything must pass through the gateway of choice because decision sets the parameter for what would be permitted and what won’t. Very often, when you hear folks making excuses for not doing something it’s because they really did not decide to do it, because, if the human mind firmly, and really decides on doing something, it will get done. Period!
Daniel 1:8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
