Bad Behavior or???

Greetings My Friends;
I think we all know someone who seems to have a problem with something. That something can be alcohol, drugs, gambling, even smoking. A lot of us rush to judge people that have these problems. Many times  the people with the problem do not recognize or admit that there is a problem.
Addictions such as these in many cases, if not all cases seem to take over the lives of the people involved. A lot of times in order to feed the addiction that they have, they will do everything possible to feed an addiction. Some people will spend their rent money, make a choice of the addiction over food, or stop paying their bills.
All of these bad choices can affect the person's family in a disastrous way. It seems the addicted person has absolutely no control and appears to be a person with weak character. In some cases that may be true. But I think it goes much further than that.
Many times if you try to talk to someone that has an addiction, they will get angry, and totally deny it. They have deluded themselves to the point where they actually believe their denials. They do not realize, or sometimes even care, that loved ones are suffering because of their behavior.
If you watch preachers on TV you will often see people giving testimony about how they were totally free from addictions as well as disease, or even financial problems, when they totally turned to the Lord for help.  Along with salvation comes freedom.
Well it got me to thinking. If what we see is true, that these people have been free from their problem by accepting Jesus with their whole heart, then the opposite must have caused the problem. It is very easy for us to look at someone, and say they are weak, have character flaws, or act that way because of problems in their life that they have no control over such as finances or a bad marriage. They never stop to realize that what they are doing may be the cause of their problems.
I honestly believe that a person who has an addiction, has an addiction because of an evil spirit. Just as being saved causes freedom in your life, and evil spirit can cause hell on earth for you. If you have a loved one who has an addiction of any kind, I believe you need to pray for those people instead of judging them. Pray for their salvation and total freedom from any evil spirits. According to the Bible, we can cast evil spirits from people using Jesus name, and our faith in that name to bring light where there is darkness. Even a person who is saved and fighting a demon, can cast him out in Jesus name.
You may not agree with what I'm saying, but the fact is it makes a lot of sense. The Prince of darkness brings darkness to our lives, while the Lord of light Jesus Christ brings light into our lives. Pray with all your heart for any of your family that has an addiction of any kind, and trust in the Lord, to bring his light into their life. Were there is light, there can be no darkness.
God Bless You And Remember
 Jesus Loves You
Prayer of Salvation;
"Oh God in Heaven, I believe with all of my heart that Jesus has been raised from the dead. I receive Your Word, and I repent of sin. I renounce the past. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus. I receive my forgiveness. I receive the new birth, cleansed and washed in the Word and in the precious blood of Jesus. Fill me with Your Spirit, in Jesus name. Amen"
