Stubborn Addictions

DAY 2 OF 4

Why God Allows a Process

Deliverance can happen in an instant, but freedom must be maintained.

If someone is instantly set free but never renews their mind (Romans 12:2), they risk returning to bondage (Luke 11:24–26).

Process teaches discipline:

  • Prayer
  • Scripture meditation
  • Accountability
  • Dependence on the Spirit

These ensure freedom becomes a lifestyle, not just an event.

The Mind and Heart Connection

Mind (thoughts): Lies, excuses, and justifications feed the addiction.

Heart (desires/affections): Deep cravings, misplaced loves, or wounds that were never healed often fuel it.

Both must be renewed otherwise, even if behavior changes for a while, the root issue remains.
