Addiction is not determined by your drug of choice; it is determined by your state of mind.
Faith can be a powerful tool in battling addiction, and this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook' dives deep into how the Gospel of Christ can help intercept various addictions. Colin Cook explores the psychological effects of faith, emphasising that the Gospel is more than just psychology – it's a transformative mindset shift. By believing in the Gospel, you can change your thinking and combat the forces of wrath, sin, law, and death that often fuel addictive behaviours.
Cook discusses how Satan uses these forces to make us feel condemned, but faith in Jesus can help us speak back to our minds and diminish the power of these temptations. The episode highlights how addiction isn't just about the substance but also about the state of mind. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, Cook illustrates how speaking to God and expressing gratitude can lessen the grip of addiction.
He shares how faith exercises, such as quoting scripture and lifting one's heart in praise, can change your mental state, making you less susceptible to addictive thoughts and behaviours. Cook also addresses common misconceptions about the law and how it can become an obstacle without faith in Jesus. He encourages listeners to focus on God's love and grace rather than being obsessed with legalistic condemnation.
By doing so, you can lift yourself out of the 'addictive doldrums' and find strength in the joy of the Lord. This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting someone who is. It offers practical advice on how to use faith as a tool for recovery, making it clear that changing your mindset through faith can have a profound impact on overcoming addiction.
