Bible Question: How does God help us through hard times like when were faced with issues such as drugs? How can he help someone break an addiction? |
Bible Answer: SAZ, Pray without ceasing, pray about everything, the good, the bad and the ugly, before, during and after every event, in all circumstance. For example, Cry out to God, saying, please have mercy on me, deliver me from myself. This is called spiritual warfare; enemy is Satan. He comes to kill, steal and destroy by means necessary. Therefore, prepared yourself “Put on the whole Armour Of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes” (Ephesians 6.11). “Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kind of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints” (Ephesians 6.18). Now is the time to use your weapon of prayer to seek God’s divine intervention to break this addiction. “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds”(2 Cor.10.4). Christ said, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last” (Rev.22.13). God is in control, all power is in Christ hand; power to give life, power to take life away, power to heal the sick and raised the dead, all power is in Jesus Christ’s hand. We are as clay in a potters hands: being shaped and molded in to God’s divine purpose, Pray that Christ delivers the person in the addiction situation, that they may know that it is his hand that do it.
