I was a gambler…With God’s grace, I am no longer! Amen!

What motivated me to place the first bet ?

My initial thought was self-centered fear and greed, my self-justification and self-righteousness. 

Fear has been called the most self-centered of all emotions because it is generated by a perceived high degree of threat to what we believe is our well-being. 

What is Self-centered fear? 

A.A. defines self centered fear as:

1. “Fear of not getting something we want or

2. “Fear of losing something we already have.” or

3.” Fear of losing something we never really had”.

Self-justification is a defense of some failure to keep a promise. If a person can justify their behavior it means that what they are doing is reasonable. Self-justification was the maker of excuses; excuses for placing the first bet.

What is Self-righteousness?

When I was self-righteous, I thought I was following the rules and doing the right thing.

Self-righteousness is a feeling that I am right in my beliefs, attitudes, and behavior and that other people are wrong.

I should not have listen to my self-will talking, these happen before the first bet.

Lord I confess the sin of seeking from self the help that should have only come from God. I confess my sin of gambling and also those sins I cannot remember.

Lord I now repent and renounce all those sins and ask you to forgive me (1 John 1:9).

[kin]

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for dying for my sins, thank you for your resurrection and for making me a new person through faith in your precious blood.

Dear Lord, I confess that in the past through my ignorance, curiosity, foolishness or willfulness, I have disobeyed your Word. I now ask you to help me as I give up all those things. Please Lord, cleanse me in body, mind, soul and spirit.

Satan, I am closing any door which I may have opened to you and your demons. Under the authority of Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Ghost, I reject all contacts or any involvement with Satan, and demon worship.

I reject every cult that denies the blood of Jesus Christ and every philosophy which denies the Divinity of the Lord Jesus and the Trinity.

Lord I confess the sin of seeking from self or Satan the help that should have only come from God. I confess my sin of gambling and also those sins I cannot remember.

I reject all psychic heredity that I may have had and break any demonic hold and curses over myself and my family line back to Adam and Eve on both sides of my parents through the power of the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Lord I now repent and renounce all those sins and ask you to forgive me (1 John 1:9).

I reject Satan and all his works. I c.o.u.n.t. them as my enemies. I now close the door to all practices and command all such spirits to leave me in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

I reject the evil spirits which entered through my thought, eyes, participation, transfer or by inheritance and command all the demons to come out of my body and organs, lips, tongue, taste buds, throat, and mind in the name of Jesus Christ my Savior.

Heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that he is the Son of God Who takes away the sin of all those who repent and confess him as Lord. I believe that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses me from all sin.

I claim freedom from all sins which has come through my eyes, my ears, my mind or through my actual participation.

In particular, I confess the following: all preoccupation with gambling, the sensual desire and appetites, and indulgences of them; all craving thought, urge, desire and lust for what is forbidden.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I now rebuke and loose myself and my family from any and all evil curses, fetishes, charms, love potions all psychic powers, sorcery, bewitchments, enchantments, hexes, spells, every jinx, and psychic prayers which have been put upon us, from both sides of generations of my father and mother back to Adam and Eve.

I break and loose myself from any connected or related spirits from any person or persons or from any occult or psychic source.

I hereby reclaim all ground that I have ever given to Satan in body, mind, soul, or spirit.

I dedicate myself to you Dear Lord, to be used for Your glory alone.

I want You to control and empower every area of my life, including all my thought, emotions and feelings; that from now on that I might be used according to your will.

I also now give to You my affections, emotions and desires, and request that they might be motivated and controlled by Your Holy Spirit.

I hereby claim, total victory and freedom from all my former Bondages. In Jesus Christ almighty name I ask. Amen.

Yesterday has passed, tomorrow has not arrived, we can only focus on today. You are doing the right thing! I do the same thing.

[kin]

John 16:33 I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail.

Focus on God, and not on the situation in life

If we do not confess our sin after we sin, we will suffer. Then the Holy Spirit will discipline us (Hebrews 12:4-13) until we confess our sins to Him.

As David said, it is against God and God only that we sin.

Hebrew 12: 4-13

4In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

5And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not make light of the LORD’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,

6because the LORD disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”

7Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?

8If you are not disciplined-and everyone undergoes discipline-then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all.

9Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live!

10They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness.

11No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

12Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees.

13″Make level paths for your feet,” so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.

To struggle with sin is part of being a Christian.

1 John 1:9  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

In 1 John 1:9 reveals that Christians still sin, but the proof a person is a Christian is that they repent and turn away from their sins.

Proverbs says, The Holy Spirit will help us to be honest about our own sin.

He knows our heart, For He knows the secrets of the heart. Psalms 44:21 (NASB)

In Romans 7:14-15 the apostle Paul admits he struggles with sin. For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin. For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. Romans 7:14-15 (NASB)

Then in Romans 7:24 he complains, Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? Romans 7:24 (NASB)

This reveals that a real Christian will struggle with sin and here is an apostle who is struggling with sin. Real Christians will increasingly struggle with their sin.

The proof a person is filled with the Spirit is that they will be sinning less (Romans 8:13-14).

In Romans 8:13-14

¹³For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

¹⁴For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.
