 "FIGHT LIKE A WARRIOR!"
(PART I)

Overcoming addiction is more than just a process, and more than just overcoming a disease. In order to overcome it - you have to TARE IT APART! Addiction is not just a battle - Addiction is not just a fight - Addiction is a WAR. It's not just a war within yourself, It's also a war with unseen forces - unseen forces that don't want you to win this war over your addiction.
 
Before you can overcome your addiction you have to learn how to fight! But, you have to learn how to fight like a warrior. You also have to want to fight like a warrior. Believe me - a warrior is what it's going to take, and when you do overcome your addiction, a warrior you will be. 
 
You just didn't just wake up one day, and decide "Hey! I think I want to become an addict today - or an alcoholic - or be a victim to all of the above!" You didn't choose to have an addictive personality, or an inherited gene that led you to your addiction, or self medicate. Maybe you are addicted to drugs because of an injury, or illness. Worse yet! Maybe you are drowning in your addiction because you were traumatized as a child by sexual abuse. Yes! (WE WILL DISCUSS ADDICTION TRIGGERED BY SEXUAL ABUSE AT ANOTHER POST)
 
But, at some point you did choose to take that first step that led to your addiction. Now you have to deal with it. You can either continue to feed your addiction, or you can fight your addiction.
 
You don't like having an addiction, and you don't want to be an addict. Oh! you're just fine as long as your addiction is fed - CONTINUOUSLY! AT A COST though! It's when your addiction isn't fed that you have the problem. Now you are at a cross road! You have to feed your addiction because your body so desperately needs it, or you make the decision to FIGHT the hardest battle of your life! 
 
It's a choice only you can make. You can decide to keep going around that vicious, and spiraling out of control life -  or you can make the first step, and decide to fight! It's a fight you have to fight like a warrior. But, a warrior doesn't go into battle un prepared, and she or he doesn't go into battle to lose. She goes into battle to win, and to stay victorious! That is what you want. To know you can win, and to know you can stay victorious. Isn't that what you want? To be victorious? Also, to know that your addiction can no longer have control over you, and your life? (Stay tuned for Part II of  "FIGHT LIKE A WARRIOR!"

BASK IN HIS GLORY PSALMS 119:114 THOU ART MY HIDING PLACE AND MY SHIELD: I HOPE IN THY WORD. MY SECRET PLACE I can never get enough of the Lord's special secret place, where He has gifted me with His strength to over come any obstacle that comes my way. Most importantly, His secret place is a place where He lets me "Bask in His Glory." His Glory permeates my entire being. His secret place is where I am victorious, because I am with Him. I am praising Him - adoring Him, and He adores me too. My secret place is His secret place where I experience His fullness of power, or as much as I can handle of His power - where He embraces me - where He demonstrates His word. He is my shield, and buckler. The Lord wants you to come to His secret place too - to "Bask in His Glory" Can you imagine experiencing God's presence in His Glory - His glorious presence that it leaves you breathless? 1 PETER 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Chr...

"BREAK THE CHAINS OF YOUR ADDICTION WHAT IS YOUR ADDICTION?" ROMANS 3:23 - FOR ALL HAVE SINNED, AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD; Do you have an addiction? That is a big question even I''ve come to realize. When we think of addiction, we often think of: drug, alcohol, pornography, adultery, sex, or sex before marriage, gambling, amongst other things you can think of. We have also come to the conclusion that addiction is sin because we have seen how addiction can destroy lives, and families. But, what is addiction - really? DEFENITION Let's take a look at the definition of the word addiction.  Dictionary.com defines it as such: ADDICTION:  [ uh-dik-shuh n] noun 1. the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming , as narcotics, to such and extent that its cessation causes severe trauma.  I've underlined certain words to help explain my point.

  "THE PANGS OF GOD'S GLORY" ROMANS 8:28 - AND WE KNOW THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD, TO THEM WHO ARE THE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE. COMING TO REALITY Do you want victory over your battles, caused by your traumatic experience? Did you think your victory was going to come easy - without a fight? You can have victory! But, you are going to have to fight! The reality that comes with a traumatic experience can be quite numbing, and leave us frozen, and sometimes frozen in time. Traumatic experiences can shake us to our core if we let it. When they do shake us to our core, we have to find our way back to God's Glory. We have to go back to our core to fight - to the very center where we find our pain, to release our pangs, where God's Glory is. But, you are not alone. God is with you! Coming back to God's Glory doesn't come with out a fight. It's a fight that doesn't come with out pain, an...
