The Bible says to love others. To quit addictions, try that today (TTT). It says to forgive others, try that today (TTT). It says to bear fruit TTT, to obey TTT, to increase in the fruit of the Spirit TTT. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”
Wow, that is a lot of things to try today. Who can do all of those things today? Tomorrow maybe I should focus on one topic. But when I do that, it won’t work either, and more will be needed to solve the problem. Does anyone have the secret answer to quitting?
Yep, someone does. Jesus Christ does. And the secret answer is… the fire. If you really understand fire you know that it will burn and burn until everything is burnt up, or until someone puts the fire out.
A person who has the fire will take this article with a million things to try, and they will try and try to do as many things that are humanly possible. Then tomorrow, when I focus on one topic, they will try that and then come back to today’s article, or another article on this site, or find a book on quitting addiction, or find a YouTube article on quitting.
Key point: A person who has the fire will keep fighting until the sin is burnt up. A person who has the fire will keep fighting until the Word (the Bible) is in them, until the Word directs them, until the Word controls them.
Pray to have the fire. Pray, “Father, fill me with your fire.” Highlight this prayer and put it on your mirror. Why? We need to stoke (stir up) the fire every day.
If you only develop a few habits this month, your life will change for the better permanently. Today, consider memorizing the key point paragraph. If you develop these habits your addiction will be gone.
Every day, satan will try to attack you. But on every day that you stoke the fire, it will be a fair battle, and one that you eventually will win. My daughter (The one I call the happiest person in Michigan) gets up early every day to pray and study the Bible. She always stokes the fire. And with the power that the fire gives her, she is always helping people.
Jesus is the light of the world because He is the fire. Strive to let that fire burn hotly, and permanently every day of your life.
