The verses so far are very good RoseMarie,

I would add John 8:34 and 8:36 (KJV)
"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."
It's very simple: Ask Jesus to help you!
Jesus is the one who can set us free from bad habits, but we need to make an effort also.

If there are evil spirits keeping someone in bondage to sin or bad habits,
fasting and prayer may also be necessary:
Matt 17:21 "Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."

Also, confession of sin is integral to being set free also:
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

For lasting victory: removing sources of temptation:
Romans 13:14 (KJV)
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

joosep 2020-01-21 11:32

amen Rose Marie, to God be the glory!
as to your suggested verses, Saintman, I think they would be good additions :)

RoseMarie 2020-01-21 22:43

Thanks, Saintman, for the additional verses. I appreciate it so much.

joosep 2020-01-22 02:11

Rose Marie, I was just reviewing Philippians 2:12-13. For me personally, the truths in these two verses are key to putting old habits aside and behind. "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling" .... "For it is God which worketh in you" ...

Let me first say quickly, this has nothing to do with salvation by works. We are justfified by faith when we believe in Jesus Christ, in the work which HE accomplished by dying for us on the cross and bearing our own sins in His body as the perfect sacrifice for all time.

The Greek word in verse 12 for "work out" is katergazesthe, to cause something to happen, to bring something about; you could say that what we are doing at this moment, by studying these verses, is a part of the working out of our salvation. We are saved when we believe, but we also must continually humble ourselves and allow God to "work it out" from within us, through His Word, in order that that salvation might begin to transform every aspect of our life and behavior, and this we could also call bearing fruit. (Romans 12:1-2, Galatians 5:22-23)

But now let me make my bigger point, which is, that what speaks to me deeply in these verses is the "fear and trembling" and the fact that it is GOD who is at work in us. To consider that the Holy God is at work in us, our God who hates sin and loves goodness, should cause us to experience fear and trembling; and that fear is a strong motivation to "put off" the old "man" or the old self as Paul says in Ephesians 4:22. "that ye put off .... the old man".

I hope that this is helpful to someone. Fear of God is not a topic much discussed in our modern churches in the English speaking world; and yet, our Bibles are full of references to the fear of God, not only in the Old Testament, but also most assuredly in the New!

My source for the Greek was biblehub.com (https://biblehub.com/text/philippians/2-12.htm)
