Advice on Gambling Addiction, Lotteries & Betting Problems
Want to quit gambling or know someone that does? Gambling addiction destroys people, finance, and in turn their lives, families and anyone who becomes involved with them. If you are addicted to gambling you know it MUST stop but you have no idea how to start.
Hold on, there is help at hand. Your creator in heaven is far bigger than to what to him, what is a measly little nasty issue that the devil and his minions in heaven and on earth concoct to ruins the plans he has for people that love God! I have seen gambling ruin one life in particular – a friend of mine who was once very successful and who over time lost his great career, his wife and ended up an alcoholic living in his mum’s garage!
Help for Problem Gamblers; Advice for Christians who want to gamble, bet & do the lottery
How are we supposed to not get caught up in these evil snares when our leaders actually encourage it! It must be said that a government that allows this is absolutely scandalous to allow what is happening to happen but at least The Bible predicts that things will become this way in the end times which most agree we are very much now in so we are not surprised on one level. Greed is now more important in politics than what’s right. One the envy of other nations we are fast becoming the ‘stupid man of Europe’ – unable to cope with crime – politically correct to the point of undermining our own laws and traditions that are no longer implementable.
How To Stop Gambling for People who Are Compelled to Bet & Can’t Stop
The answer is much much simpler than you could imagine. You only have to be willing to have your mind renewed. If gambling and betting has got hold of you, No.1 start reading your Bible (if you are new to Christianity read the for gospels in the New Testament) and ask God through his grace to break the chains to help you (you have to be willing to be changed). No.2 check out the following websites that deal with gambling addiction.
You will find that over time, if you read God’s word he has left for us, the words are so powerful that they will actually ‘re-wire’ your thinking physiologically – yes – physically simply by reading the good words of God and the story of his son’s love for us, you will begin to naturally lose the desire to do what it wrong and displeases your father and creator who loves you more than you will ever know! This may take time so be patient but keep reading. You don’t need expensive therapies designed to empty your mind and pockets endlessly – you need the healing power of God’s word implanted and taking root in your mind and body so that the very neurological tracks in your brain can be re-booted and ‘re-set’.
Resetting the brain’s neurological pathways and YOUR behaviour patterns
Scientists have known for years that simply by repeating something it becomes etched into the mind changing the neural pathways and ultimately our behaviour. So why don’t all counsellors just tell us this and be done with it? $$$$$ and the fact they may need to start reading themselves may have something to do with it. May God bless you richly in your new walk with him!
American Style Super-Casinos & online Gambling comes to the UK
Gambling in the UK is soon to take on the frightening proportions that it has had around the rest of the world – particularly the US – whom we seem to copy on virtually every front albeit a decade or two later. It happened with music and now gambling and betting threatens to undermine the UK’s already crumbling society as the politicians are rapidly giving in to the massive allure from US ‘high-flyers’ wanting to create super-casinos on our soil.
What this means for this country – and lets make no mistake and pretend otherwise as common sense alone will tell you – is thousands of gambling addicts which in turn will have a knock-on effect in crime rates, the already over burdened health service and ultimately deaths in this country resulting indirectly from gambling. If you are thanking of gambling – don’t – you are playing with fire as I have seen first hand how it – combines with alcohol and drugs can ruin a perfectly good life and family.
