Are you struggling with temptations in a particular area of life? Don't struggle alone.
Let God's grace help you through these weekly spiritual fellowship meetings
Strong temptations and addictive behaviors are resurfacing and increasing due to a mixture of more seclusion, less structure, and greater stress.
People are seeking to escape the stress, the fear, the anger, the conflict, and loss as a result through alcohol, drugs, pornography, sexual-deviancy, internet and social media, gaming , online shopping, movie binges, eating, and substance abuse.
Three building blocks for freedom (read more)
Three building blocks for freedom (read more) : 1) Radically amputating triggers for your addiction as Christ commanded in Matthew 5:27ff; 2) Radically renewing your heart to resist with inspiring scriptures; and 3) Radically replacing temptations with daily practices that produce a growing satisfaction with the life God has given you to live. Addiction is bondage to the rule of a substance, activity, or state of mind, which then becomes the center of life. Our loss of control to pleasure can be regained by gaining a higher pleasure and new habits that come from having a new center or core. God promises this new heart that can see more deeply the dangers of addiction and experience more fully the pleasure coming tomorrow for those who choose what is best today. Come learn how to gain and develop this new propensity.
It is time to stop letting the enemy steal, kill and destroy you relationally, financially, intellectually, emotionally, etc (John 10:10).
