The power of choice was given to Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden when God said “Do not eat of the fruit in the midst of the garden” God gave men and woman the right to choose. Satan’s kingdom is set up to deny choice, Matthew 11:12 “and from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force.” Sin is the force by which Satan is able to control man’s will, John 8:34 says "Jesus answered them,” most assuredly, I say to you whoever commits sin is a slave of sin”. What then is sin? Sin is an act or action, word or desire or even an omission of action against God commandments or character. When we sin we open up spiritual doors that allows demons control over areas of our lives, these areas can become strongholds affecting our ability to stop sinning. Roman 6:16 says "Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, weather of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?" Addiction is the result of sin, but praise be to God all addictions can be broken. Drug and alcohol, porn and gambling, all addictions can be broken down by spiritual warfare in the name of Jesus. If you are struggling to give something up that you know God hates, find a church or ministry that covers the area of deliverance - one that cast out demons. Self-deliverance is also possible, and when God comes into it you can be delivered instantly. I would recommend the book, Pigs in the parlour by Frank Hammond as a starting point for someone to build up knowledge.
