The Habit Breaker – Ems Hancockಮಾದರಿ

Who is the real Habit Breaker?

The wonderful truth is that God gives us power to conquer our addiction and issues. He is the ultimate Habit Breaker. 1 John 5:4-5 in The Message says, “Every God-begotten person conquers the world’s ways. The conquering power that brings the world to its knees is our faith. The person who wins out over the world’s ways is simply the one who believes Jesus is the Son of God.”

Even if your family life was a disaster or you have since had major trauma, there is HOPE for you. You are not defined by your mistakes or your mishaps or how well you did at school. You are not just what your medical prescription or diagnosis says you are. If Christ is in you then you are an infinite number of hopeful and wonderful possibilities, all headed towards healing and joy!

What does the Bible say?

Psalm 34:17 tells us that, “When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.”

He may not do it the way we hope, or think we need. And He rarely, if ever, does it in the time frame we pray for. But God is always, always doing us good. He will use our problems to do us good. He will use our hardships to do us good. He will use our addictions to do us good. He will use our grief to do us good. He doesn’t need goodness to do us good. He is a God who can make beauty from ashes and joy from heaviness.

In our reading today from Revelation 3, we see in verse 21 that for the one who conquers, God will grant him the honor to sit with Him on His throne. What a promise that is for each of us! Not just communion with God but also closeness and companionship too.

This is the promise to all of us, to those enslaved by addiction and to those fully free: we belong to God and we are loved by Him.

PRAYER:

Lord you have searched me and you know me. You know all my thoughts from afar. Please teach me how to trust in Your timing for my life, and your power for my healing. Amen.
