Chapter 13 - His Part and Ours In order to have our minds fully prepared to do battle against addictive desires and the sin that dwells in our flesh, we must understand clearly what God will do for us, and what He expects us to do.

Chapter 11 - Overcoming by Our Words In the previous chapter we read of Israel’s great failure to trust Yahweh when He instructed them to go forth to take possession of the land of Canaan.

Overcoming Addiction by the Spirit of Christ – Part 8

by | Mar 22, 2023

Chapter 8 - The Bread of Heaven There is a modern adage that states “You are what you eat.” There is much truth to this at all levels of our being. What we eat physically impacts our bodies in profound ways. There are many authors who have provided tremendous evidence that the vast majority of...

Overcoming Addiction by the Spirit of Christ – Part 7

by | Mar 20, 2023

Chapter 7 - A New Creature This book is written both for those who are strangers to Christ, as well as those who are Christians. I have found that many men and women who have been Christians for years have not come to an understanding of the ways of God, and even the foundational principles of...

Overcoming Addiction by the Spirit of Christ – Part 6

by | Mar 17, 2023

by | Mar 13, 2023

Chapter 4 - Faith to Believe The foundation stones we have laid so far can be summed up in the following way: · All mankind is born under the slavery of sin. · Sin has caused a separation between God and man, and has brought death. · The Son of God came to repair the breach and bear upon Himself...
