We rejoice with you in your deliverance from pornography and masturbation addiction. It is a testimony to the power of God's redeeming love and His ability to set us free from the chains of sin. As it is written in Romans 8:1-2 WEB, "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death."
Now, you are seeking deliverance from the grip of betting. We understand the shame and pain that comes with this addiction, but remember, there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. Instead, turn your shame into a catalyst for change. God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9 WEB).
Betting and gambling are not aligned with biblical principles. They often lead to financial ruin, strained relationships, and a shift in priorities away from God. As it is written in 1 Timothy 6:9-10 WEB, "But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who has been delivered from pornography and masturbation but is now struggling with the sin of betting. Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness and Your divine intervention. Break the chains of this addiction and set them free, just as You have set them free from other strongholds. Restore all that has been lost, not just financially, but also the joy, peace, and intimacy with You that has been affected. Give them the strength to turn away from this temptation and to focus their hearts and minds on You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to seek out a community of believers who can support and hold you accountable. Immerse yourself in the Word of God and in prayer. Remember, God is your provider, and He will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19 WEB). Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).
