Body Problems
Your Body Must Be Glorified
Rom 7:22 (NIV) For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; You are a spirit being; you live in a body; and, you have a soul. As a spirit being, you delight in God’s law. That happened to you when you were born again through salvation. You are struggling with drugs because your body didn’t get saved, born again, become a Christian, or become a child of God. It isn’t even going to be allowed to enter into God’s eternal Kingdom. 1 Cor 15:50 (NIV) I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 1 Cor 15:51-53 (NIV) Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed--in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we WILL be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. The body you are now wearing will be changed into a new, GLORIFIED body. It will go from being perishable to imperishable; it will go from being mortal to immortality. So, it is important that you understand that your body currently needs some powerful treatment. Your Body Is A Door
Rom 7:23 (NIV) But I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. Than is not good! There have been times when you had thoughts, feelings, and desires that were evil. You were surprised that you were able to think such evil things. The fact is, you didn’t originate that thought. Satan presented the thought to your body and it felt like it was a good idea. It was receptive because of the satanic promise of extreme pleasure through the activity. You delight in God’s law! Your body doesn’t. You Need A Rescue
Rom 7:24 (NIV) What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Now that you are looking to Jesus, you are opening yourself to the only One Who can handle this body of death. He will show you the procedures for bringing it under your and His control. Since you are starting to see yourself and your body as two different intities, it will help you do what it takes to bring spiritual growth to your spirit. And, you will do what it takes to win over the weaknesses and sinfulness of your body. Just learning this one thing will make a major difference in your success over the drugs issue. Who Is Serving What?
Rom 7:25 (NIV) Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin. There is good slavery; and, there is bad slavery. All slavery may sound bad to you; but, slavery to God’s law is being done with your God-give free will still intact. Slavery to the law of sin is a loss of your God-given free will. ALLOWING yourself to be brought under the complete control of the things of God will be the best ongoing decision you will ever make. A Continuous Supply Of Power
It is like a vacuum cleaner that has to be plugged in so that it has power to function. As long as it is plugged in, it can BE a vacuum cleaner; but, the moment you unplug it, it stops working. That is what you need to understand about the things of God. Jesus will not be able to give you His power as a personal possession. You will only be empowered to win over your issues with drugs for as long as you are connected to Jesus. If He gave humans His power, they would hurt themselves and those around them. It would be like allowing a little child drive a car without supervision.

Jesus-Power
A Permanent Connection
Jesus is the Creator of the universe: Mat 28:18 (NIV) Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. That is the power you will be using to win over your struggles with drugs. You will just be doing it under supervision.
