How the word of God breaks the power of addictions
This is a new form of therapy to break the power of addictions. As you may know addictions are really idols because they are given more power than God. Anything that has power over us is an idol. We serve what we fear. The following list of scriptures are formulated to tear down the power of addictions. Here is how it works. The word of God according to Jeremiah 23:29 “Is not my word like fire? declares the Lord and”like a hammer which shatters a rock?” So if the word is like fire it burns and consumes spiritual things. You see the word is God and God is a consuming fire. So as we speak the word it consumes and shatters the strongholds of addictions. We also know that the word does not return void but accomplishes that which is what sent to do..We also know that the word is living and active and sharper than a two edged sword and is able to divide things in two pieces. What we also know is this is how Jesus combatted Satan in the wilderness when He was tempted three times. So in the spirtual realm the word is sharper than a two edged sword, and we also know that the Holy Spirit watches over the word to perform it or make it work. Jeremiah 1:12. Also angels are assigned to to watch over the word Psalm 103:20 “Bless the Lord, you His angels, Mighty in strength, who perform or watch His word, Obeying the voice of His word. So when the scripture of God is quoted the angels also make the word work. So what we are doing is allowing God and the heavenly host to do the battle and our only job is to speak the word and let them do the rest. Also before we begin this practice you might want to know that demons according to James2:19 believe and they shudder. What this means is when the word of God is proclaimed into the heavenilies the demons and devils shudder and according to Ps18:44 “As soon as they hear, they obey me, Foreigners submit to me,Foreigners fade away and come trembling out of their fortresses. Now this is not a one time deal and it is over. They are entrenched in strongholds so we are prescribing 30 straight days of speaking this word and then what you will probably find is that you are liking it so well you probably will continue on. So if you are ready to rout some addictions of demons and idolatry lets begin.
1. Revelations18:4 Come out of her, my people, that you may not participate in her sins and that you may not receive of her plagues. For her sins have piled up as high as heaven and God has remembered her iniquities.
2.Isaiah 52:11 “Depart, depart, go out from there, touch nothing unclean. Go out of the midst of her, purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of the Lord.
3. Psalm 45:10 “Listen, O daughter, give attention and incline your ear, Forget your people and your father’s house:Then the King will desire your beauty. Because He is your Lord bow down to Him.
4. Psalm 142:7 “Bring my soul out of prison so that I may give thanks to thy name. The righteous will surround me for thou wilt deal bountifully with me.
5. Jeremiah 4:14 I will “wash my heart from evil that I may be delivered and saved. I will not let wicked thoughts lodge with me.
6.Jeremiah 4:3 Break up your fallow ground and do not sow among the thorns. Circumcise yourselves to the Lord and remove the foreskins of your heart.
7. 2 Cor 6:14 I will not be bound together with unvelievers, for I have no partnership with lawlessness and I am of the light and have no agreement with darkness.
8. 2 cor 7:1 Beloved let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit perfecting holiness in the reverence of the Lord.
9. 2 Cor 6:16 I have no agreement with idols or addictions for I am the temple of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit dwells in me.
10. 2 Cor 6:18 I will come out from the midst of the world and be separate. I will not touch what is unclean and then the Lord will welcome me. Then the Lord will be a father to me and I shall be his son and daughter.
So as we have done before, we let the word do the work. We can do nothing but proclaim the word. Notice that there will be a peace that starts settling over you and a quiet because lots of the demons are packing bags and are thinking about getting out. When you speak the word the Consuming fire comes and it starts getting hot for some of the addiction demons. So now we start on more directive words. Directive words are ones that are directed toward the emeny. In a military campaign it would be like mortar shells going into the camp of the enemy. One of the most powerful weapons of warfare are praises to God.
1. Psalm 75:9 But as for me. Will declare it forever, I will sing praise to the God of Jacob and all the strength of the wicked will be cut off. But the righteous will be lifted up.
2. Psalm 149:6 Let the high praises of God be in my mouth and a two edged sword in my hand and God will bind their kings with chains into outer darkness and their nobles with fetters of iron.
3. Psalm 139:19 Slay the wicked O God. Depart from me therefore you men of bloodshed, for they speak against Thee wickedly and Thine enemies take Thy name in vain.
4. Psalm 139:21 Do I not hate those who hate Thee O lord? And do not I loathe those who rise up against thee? I hate them with the utmost hatred, They have become my enemies.
5. Psalm 26:4 I do not sit with deceitful men, Nor will I go with pretenders I hate the asembly of evidoers, and I will not sit with the wicked.
6. Psalm 31:6 “ I hate those who regard vain and empty idols; But I trust in the lord. I will rejoice and be glad in thy lovingkindness, because thou hast seen my affliction.
7. Jeremiah 50:14 “I will draw up the battle line against Babyloyn from every side. All who can bend the bow shoot at her, do not spare with your arrows for she has sinned against the Lord.
8. Jeremiah 50:15 “ Raise up your battle cry against her on every side! She has given herself up, her pillars have fallen, Her walls have been torn down, For this is the vengeance of the Lord. Take vengeance on her: As she has down to others, so do to her.
9. Lev:26:13 ” I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you should not be their slaves and I broke the bars of your yoke and made you walk erect.
10. Isaish 10:27 So it is in that day, his burden has been removed from your shoulders and his yoke from your neck and the yoke has been broken because of the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
Now things will start happening. Battle lines have been drawn. Remember no weapon formed against you shall prosper. And from out of the mouths of babes and infants the Lord has given strength to still the enemy and avenger. Also remember this out of Psalm 101:8 ” Every morning I will destroy and silence all the wicked of the land, so as to cut off from me all who do iniquity.
1. Ezekial 34:27 I have broken the bars of their yoke and have delivered them from the hand of those who have enslaved them. You will no longer be a prey to the nations and the beasts of the earth will not devour me, but I will live securely and no one will make me afraid.
2. Jeremiah 30:8 “ The day has come at Calvary, that He has broken the yoke offf your neck and has torn off my chains and bonds. and I declare that strangers will no longer make me their slaves.
3. Isaiah 54:17 “No weapon that is formed against me will prosper. and every tongue that accuses me in judgment I will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord.
4. Psalm 18: 28 ” For thou dost light my lamp; the Lord my God illumines my darkness. For by thee I can run or crush a troop of devils and by my God I can leap over a wall.
5. Psalm 18:37 “ I pursued my enemies and overtook them. and I did not turn back unti they were consumed. I shattered them so that they were not able to rise They fell under my feet.
Now lets do this for 30 days and see what happens. When you feel the need for the addiction or the desire confess the word. While you are watching television and numbing your mind break the pattern and read the word out loud. Do this as you drive to work. At the stop lights, during intervals, remember it is an offensive weapon of warfare that does work. Reason doesn’t work in the spiritual realm, the power is in the spoken word.
