If Jesus is your Savior, then the Holy Spirit is living in your heart, and he don't put up with any hooligans or demons

You are fighting your flesh and the temptations of it, and your weakness to them

So lets put this demon stuff to rest

Narcotics will mess you up though, so I would put that first on my list to get rid of, one thing at a time, the cigarettes are merely unhealthy to the flesh, not the spirit, and I might have words with anyone who speaks against coffee

Riverwalker has given you excellent advice, so follow it.

As he has said if you are a Christian than the Spirit living in you will prevent any demon possessing you.

Drug taking, like alcohol excess confuses one's mind, makes one very funerals to temptation and to sinning.

 

Once again the best advice I can give you is talk to your minister.

But bad advice to tell you "just stop your addiction". You need to understand God's power is required, and not just willpower, which fails.

Myths debunked:

·         Not willpower, but wounded heart repair

·         Not willpower, but trusting the love of Jesus

·         Not a moral problem, it starts that way then becomes a brain problem

·         It’s not about drugs, it’s about medicating pain

·         Not about “a good or bad person” but a change on the cellular level

·         People who counsel “pray it away, study more” haven’t been addicted

·         It’s not “the addiction made me do it”, it’s the underlying wounds that must be treated

 

**

·         Break the cycle by understanding the four-part willpower noose cycle

·         1 Root of bondage

o   Early sex exposure/early sex imprinting, father wounds, abuse

·         2 Shame mindset

o   Guilt “I did wrong” > Shame “I’m wrong” > shame is who you see yourself to be

o   Feel worthless and inadequate, anger is a secondary emotion, the primary is fear

·         3 Binge, purge, wait a while, binge (to numb shame)

o   Addiction is to feel euphoric or feel nothing, avoids feeling pain (but increases pain)

o   Triggering > Ritual > Acting out > Triggering Cycle, like a coke addict who sees a $20 bill

·         4 Cloak of denial with others

o   Habit key = Identity, I am not ashamed

·         5 The works noose pushes it all deeper
