Precious Butterfly,
As with all addictions, there is a root cause...............The particular root, which is called a "spiritual root of disease", is THE NEED TO BE LOVED..........
There is an enormous amount of information on the subject of roots, but this particular area has to do with not having been loved the way we are designed to be.
I was addicted to cocaine, pot, pills, alcohol, and pornography, just to name a few.................The LORD showed me through various ministries the UNDERLYING REASONS FOR THE ADDICTIONS...........The roots. When I look back at my childhood, it was a nightmare. My Mother and Father were both alcoholic, both abusive. (usually to themselves) My father was a violent alcoholic, mostly to my Mother, but also to us.
I hated him deeply for 20 years, I wanted him dead, and if I wasn't so scared of him I probably would have done it myself. Thankfully The LORD stepped in, I got saved, and then HE began to show me all of the underlying roots, that were behind addiction. 27 years later I am clean, sober and not only walking in HIS Spirit, but joyously helping others with all sorts of sickness and disease, addictions, manic depression, you name it.............
Be encouraged, GOD hears your cry....................I posted a teaching about SPIRITUAL ROOTS OF DISEASE JUST TODAY. It is only part 1..........There will be many more parts as the days and weeks go on, but I want to encourage you to go to a specific web location...........
The name of the Ministry is called Be In Health Ministries..................They are located in Thomaston, Georgia. Their lead book is called :
A More Excellent Way- by Pastor Henry W. Wright. Pastor Wright was a 3rd year med student, and GOD called him to quit school and become a Pastor, then the LORD began to teach him all about SPIRITUAL ROOTS OF DISEASE.....................That was 26 years ago, and now he teaches at Universities all over the World about disease and how to get rid of it Scripturally.............Please check it out........
I am praying for you .............
