Deliverance & strength

[LORDINEEDYOU]

I am asking everyone whom reads this to please pray for my deliverance from alcohol and strength to fight against my flesh. I grew up in an alcoholic family and with that came all of the emotional, physical and sexual abuse. My mother died from drinking and driving when I was six and that's when life really started to rise up. It's been a roller coaster ride every since. I now know Jesus but still find myself going back to my mire like the swine. I don't understand this. I love the Lord and want to be obedient and good but I keep messing up and then I feel like dirt! Can anyone explain why we (I) choose to succumb to the flesh when we know it's wrong and will hurt. I am in complete spiritual turmoil whenever I do these things so I know God is working on me or it wouldn't bother me, right? I am asking for anyone reading this to pray that God completely deliver me from addictions. I don't want to keep 'singing this same old song' anymore. Please pray for me to ALWAYS call on God when I get the desire to drink and to have the power to say "no" to my fleshly desires. I thank each and everyone that prays for me and I pray that God truly blesses each of you and your families. God bless and thank you.

When temptation arises, YOu tell Satan this "IN the NAME OF JESUS, I command you Satan, TO leave me alone. IN the Name OF JESUS< I REBUKE YOU SATAN" Tell him as loud and as meaningful as you can.

He will shake in his boots, and leave you.

Mean it with all your heart. And Praise God when he goes.:cross: :cross:

Why? Because our spirit wars with our flesh. Our spirit seeks to please God, but our flesh wars against that and seeks to fulfill its own lusts.

The Apostle Paul suffered fleshly wars, even said that when he sought to do good, evil was present with him. Here's what he said:

Romans 7:18-25:

18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the wishing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.

19 For the good that I wish, I do not do; but I practice the very evil that I do not wish.

20 But if I am doing the very thing I do not wish, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.

21 I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wishes to do good.

22 For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man,

23 but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind, and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.

24 Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?

25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.
