A U-Turn From AddictionSample

When you allow the Spirit to dominate your thoughts with the truths of God’s Word, you will live free. As Jesus said, “you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free” (John 8:32). The word “know” refers to much more than a cognitive awareness of something. It means to be deeply convinced beyond any doubt. You “know that you know” it is true. It is a truth that resonates within the depths of who you are. That is what it means to know the truth and be set free. 

The type of “knowing” that Jesus speaks of which will set you free is a knowing that truly knows. It’s not guessing. It’s not hoping. It’s not testing. You know that you know because you have experienced it as true. 

But with God’s Word, we do not always get to experience the irrefutable proof ahead of the faith required to enact truth’s work. This is why faith in God’s Word carries so much weight and is so critical to the process of overcoming any addictive behavior. You must first believe God’s Word to be truth, then apply His Word to your situation as truth for it to resonate and do its freeing work in your life. The truth helps you overcome your strongholds, but only when you treat it as truth. You must align your mind, actions, heart and will under His Word and His rule regarding whatever situation or thought-pattern you are facing in order for it to set you free. 

What do you know from God’s Word that will help you find freedom from addictions?
