How do you stop a sinful habit as a believer?
By simply stopping it.!
Yes, it's that simple because you're that powerful. You're that powerful against the world, sin, darkness and the devil
Unlike the lost, you have the power to say no to any sinful habit and put an end to it. You do not need a resolution to stop a sinful habit. You need a decision to.
The habit that you are waiting for January 1st to stop is a habit that you are not yet willing to stop. Never become comfortable with a sinful habit. You are the righteousness of God in Christ and sin has no power over you.
Unlike the lost, the unsaved over whom the devil has power and control, the devil has got no power over you. The devil cannot make you sin if you do not decide to sin. The believer sins by choice and not by mistake or because he cannot help it. It's a lie for you to say the reason you sin is because you cannot help it. That's the lie that the devil wants you to believe in order to keep you in a mess. The Spirit of God gives you the power to say no to any sin. So stop saying that you cannot help it because it's a lie. You are lying and you know it. Sin has no hold on you
You can never be helpless before sin and the devil. The devil is the one helpless before you. You are the master, he is the slave. Stop switching offices!
There is no addiction that has power over you. You are not in the world but in Christ. Addictions are not in Christ realities. They are in the world realities. So, stop feeling helpless as if you are truly helpless. How can a man indwelt by the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead with all the weight of all the sin of the entire human race on Him say that he is helpless before any sin? That's the lie of the ages. There is no sin or habit in the world that can hold you down if you do not want to stay down. So stop courting and dating sin and calling it an addiction. Stay true to who you are ;you are God's superman by His mighty indwelling Spirit in you
Child of God, remember whose son you are.
I call you blessed
