Break Addiction

We stand with you in this battle against the bondage of alcohol, for we know that no temptation has taken you except what is common to mankind. God is faithful, and he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it (1 Corinthians 10:13). The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you may have life, and have it abundantly (John 10:10). This addiction is not your identity—you are a child of God, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and He has already set you free!
Yet we must address something vital: your request does not invoke the name of Jesus. There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Him that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so now. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Without Him, there is no true freedom, no lasting victory. But in Him, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26).
Addiction is a form of idolatry—a thing that has taken the place of God in your heart and life. The apostle Paul warns, “Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). But the good news is that you *were* these things, but you were washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus (1 Corinthians 6:11). If you are in Christ, you are a new creation—the old has passed away, and the new has come (2 Corinthians 5:17). Cling to that truth!
Freedom from addiction is not just about breaking a habit—it is about filling the void in your soul with the presence of God. Jesus said, “I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5). You cannot overcome this in your own strength, but through Christ who strengthens you (Philippians 4:13), you *will* walk in victory. Submit yourself to God, and resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7). This means turning away from every opportunity to drink, avoiding places or people that tempt you, and immersing yourself in the Word of God and fellowship with believers who will hold you accountable.
We also encourage you to seek godly counsel—whether through your church, a trusted pastor, or a biblically grounded recovery group. Confess your struggles to mature believers who can pray for you and walk with you (James 5:16). Isolation is a breeding ground for temptation, but in community, there is strength and encouragement.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is ensnared by the chains of alcohol. Lord, You alone are the breaker of chains, the God who sets captives free. We ask that You would break every stronghold in their life by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Fill them with Your presence so completely that there is no room for the enemy’s lies or the cravings of the flesh.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of addiction in the name of Jesus. We declare that this bondage is not from You, and it has no authority over this child of God. By the blood of Jesus, we command every demonic influence tied to this addiction to flee and never return. Lord, renew their mind and transform their heart. Give them a hatred for the sin that ensnares them and a hunger for Your righteousness. Let them taste and see that You are good (Psalm 34:8), and that true satisfaction is found in You alone.
Strengthen them in their weak moments. When the cravings come, remind them of Your promise: “No temptation has taken you except what is common to mankind. God is faithful, and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it” (1 Corinthians 10:13). Open their eyes to see the way out, and give them the courage to take it.
Surround them with godly brothers and sisters who will stand in the gap for them, who will encourage them and hold them accountable. Let them not walk this path alone, but may they find strength in the body of Christ. If they have not yet surrendered fully to You, Lord, we pray that today would be the day of salvation. Softens their heart to receive Your grace and turn from their sin. Let them know the depth of Your love and the power of Your resurrection in their life.
Father, we ask for a supernatural deliverance—a miracle that can only be attributed to You. Restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). Heal their body, mind, and spirit from the damage this addiction has caused. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and let them walk in the freedom for which Christ has set them free (Galatians 5:1).
We thank You, Lord, for You are faithful to complete the good work You have begun in them (Philippians 1:6). We trust in Your power, not in our own, and we give You all the glory. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm, beloved. The battle is real, but the victory is already won in Christ. Walk in that truth, and do not look back (Luke 9:62). If you stumble, get back up and keep fighting. God is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). You are not defined by your addiction—you are defined by the One who redeemed you. Now go forward in His strength!
