Prayer for Addiction: "God, I know You can help me overcome this addiction, and I'm so thankful, because I want to be free. Every time I come to You, I win another battle. Thank You for helping me to keep on fighting. I pray for complete healing and transformation not just for myself, but so others will be blessed by my testimony of Your love and mercy and Your power over sin. Help me remember what Your Word says: You will never leave me or forsake me, and You love me no matter what. Because of Jesus Christ, I already have the victory. Thank You, Lord, for showing me who I am in You. In Jesus' name, Amen."

We cannot be gamblers and say "I believe in God" at the same time. God saved me and that fear of Him has led me to be GF 22 months. He is always working, but you have to do your work as well.

Hey. I strongly disagree with what that poster said. She/he stated "we cannot be gamblers and say we believe in God at the same time." That is not true. The Lord used a fish to give Peter money to pay his taxes. Just because one lacks self control don't blame the Lord Jesus for that. For the fruit of the holy spirit is having self control. May the peace and love of the Lord Jesus rest on your soul and spirit.

In other words the Lord can use any avenue he chooses to bless someone and teach them self control.

The Lord can use any situation for His Glory. I am just saying you can't judge another person's walk with the Lord just because you don't understand it.

actually what she is saying

you cannot serve money and god, you have to choose one

thats all.

Thank you "It's just me..."

The poster who disagreed with me didn't understand that you cannot love both money and God. You end up serving one and hating the other. I hope she/he understands that God doesn't accept sin casually as people do.
