The Demon behind Addiction Bondage that won't let you go!

Many cry out why can't I get free? God where are you? I'm stuck and I don't know why!

Bondage is the state of being a slave, held captive, or compelled by contract.

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Why would deliverance need to be preached to the captives who are asking to be set free? 

Why would freedom require more than just a desire, why would an action be required?

God honors free will, He honors contracts; desired outcomes require specific steps be completed to arrive at the goal; these  steps must be taught and that is why they are preached to the captives.

In the book of Acts for example a the prison guard asked what he must do to be saved he was told exactly what was required in the following verses.

Acts 16:29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

When our flesh accepts an offer for something our spirit would refuse it usually comes with a demonic contract to which our acceptance is like a signature on a written contract.

This contract gives the demon behind it authorization to access your fleshly desires any time it desires.

Examples:

• Cigarette  use
• Alcohol use
• Drug use
• Legal drug use
• Pornography
• and the list is endless

Those who do not have a relationship with Jesus are pretty well stuck with the contract. If they try to terminate this contract they will likely have severe withdrawal symptoms and mood swings as a minimum; they will never be completely free of their bondage without Jesus.

Believers however have complete victory over the demonic forces dispatched to destroy those who belong to our Lord.

The believers steps to freedom from addiction bondage are as follows:

• Abide in the Word in fellowship with Jesus to strengthen your spirit man
• Fast partial days to find humility and pray in the known tongue and in the spirit
• The more you focus on things of the Spirit the less influence the carnal mind will have on your activities
• Jesus gave all believers His name to use against principalities and powers of darkness to overcome them
• The power is in the Blood of Jesus; nothing can stand against the Blood of Jesus
• Repent by turning from your sin, seeking forgiveness while calling out the demon in Jesus name; once you have identified the demon say to him as an example: cigarette demon I break my contract with you by the Blood of Jesus and rebuke you in Jesus name, depart from me never to return!
• Praise the Lord for setting you free and enjoy your new walk in victory through Christ Jesus

AMEN

1 Corinthians 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
