Is It A SIN If I SMOKE?

Is It A SIN If I SMOKE?
God's grace upon the saved believers permits a lot of liberty, but not everything is pleasing to Him, and disobedience can limit what God intends for us. We believe that one part of living an abundant, blessed life is obedience to Him. Just as with any other sin, smoking is forgivable, whether you are just becoming a Christian or are already a Christian confessing your sin to God. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness” 1 John 1v9.

[@gaetanetheriault7877]

20 years ago, I had the most wonderful deliverance from cigarettes…One morning, after I glanced at the cigarette pack, and thought ‘I got to go get cigarettes’ and Holy Spirit said « No you don’t » …I then said in my thoughts ‘ yes I do cause I’m addicted’ then Holy Spirit said ‘ I know you are but I can help you’ …I then realized that it was the Holy Spirit, I bowed my head and prayed asked the Lord to take away the desire for it…Praise the Lord…I immediately lost all cravings and I’ve never smoked another cigarette. Since then, I learned that no matter what the sin/struggle/addiction is, I can give it ‘all’ to Jesus. All I need to do is ASK HIM! Only believe and receive! Ask Him for Faith…He loves us so much…thank you Jesus and bless those that wants deliverance from tobacco in your precious and Holy Name I ask…Amen ❤

Tallywave25, yes I would suggest that you put that addiction on the back burner; meaning do not worry about it for now…God will deliver you when you are ready. That’s what happened to me before that morning. I stopped being anxious about it and left it with the Lord. I hope this helps and may God help you on your journey with Him.

I used to smoke until I began a fast at the beginning of 2023 and stayed away from what I felt and identified through discernment what I did that never glorified God. I came to realise it is an idol. God is our source of comfort, peace, rest we must abide in Him and meditate on His word. I had this revelation during the fast confirming smoking is not of God and through making Him my source of peace and knowing that He shall supply all my needs my hearts desire is not to be in bondage anymore seeking comfort in a poison. It was defeated at the cross and I have I been set free.

So true... smoking is a killing habit, not only for the body but also it affects us spiritually. My grandpa, passed away this last December. When he was young, he was a heavy smoker and wouldn't listen to any advice. I remember that 1 month before he died he told me he regreted doing that and apologized for bringing so much suffering to us, especially my grandma. He completely quit smoking when he accepted Jesus Christ as his savior many years ago, but the consequences of his sin prevailed in his body and affected those around him.

It’s been annoying not knowing God’s clear commandment on smoking.. but as you hinted to.. seeking wisdom should show us what is helpful. I know within myself it’s not helpful and that is enough to make it sinful. Sooo good kick in the butt my brother, thanks again. 😅🙏🏽

[@AncestralGratitude85]

As a word of encouragement, I used to smoke for years, too, but I realized that there is a lifestyle and mindframe associated/coming from smoking the devil's lettuce/wackey tobbackey. To me, it isn't righteous to reject the sobriety God has given us, because there are so many people who don't have a sound mind from drugs, I never want to be associated with that, so that was my reason. Once you're sober, I found that initially I had to force my brain to think more clearly, but it became habit and my life is so much more fulfilled because I had the clarity of mind, thank God, to make wise decisions.

[@DiscipleDominic777]

@@Psalm-yg6yi but then again wine can destroy the body too but Jesus approved of wine drinking… so it seems moderation is what it takes to get away with drinking wine according to Scripture. That’s what makes smoking a grey area where Scripture is concerned I feel. (edit) It seems no amount of smoking is justified though.. just by the wisdom that consuming smoke isn’t an innate tool of survival like eating or drinking.

[@glennwillett-yb3pg]

Smoking, drinking and gluttony are addictions. It takes time and effort to overcome these. For stress relief: #1 - Praise the Lord. Singing praises will immediately calm your soul and help you cope. #2 Pray to the Lord to unburden your self. Both of these activities remind you that God is in control and your ultimate and only true Savior. For answers: Read your Bible and confess your sins regularly. Surround yourself with like minded and encouraging people.

Quit for 5 years, took a couple of puffs and was back smoking. This time was harder to quit ...BUT GOD! Smoke free now for 5 months. Best advice: Quit cold turkey. I could never wean myself off. No irritation, no weight gain or cravings! That was only GOD! ~ 10:15 EST

A little over a year that I've been delivered from Marijuana. God placed it on my heart to let it go and helped me soo much through it. Marijuana brought the spirit of anxiety on me. Most people that smoke Marijuana don't see the things it does to them until they try to stop or have stopped. I see how much it affects my friends and family. My husband can't do anything without have smoked and thats not normal or ok. My cousins start being rebellious, disrespectful and not motivated when they start the habit of smoking and its every couple months I find out another cousin has started. Its a pattern I see with people that smoke, they also start to struggle with being social.

I smoked from 2000 till 2017. I want to testify that in March 2017 after a fast on retreats a priest prayed for me and layed hands and Jesus delivered me from cigarette addiction. It was not planned by me nor did I asked. They just made a spontaneous altar call. They explicitly prayed against it and I felt something like the shape of my silhouette blocking me was ripped of of me from my toes to the forehead and flew away. At the same retreats Jesus freed me from chronical colon disease Colitis Ulcerosa. Jesus is King, He is Lord, He is Healer, He is God. I didn’t touch a cigarette since March 2017 nor did I ever desire. I will never go back by the grace of God. I am free in the name of Jesu and pray for everyone Jesus will free you all too!

Yes I have smoked cigs and weed fulltime for over 30 yrs. Weekend drinks became every other day. Ive had knowledge of Father GOD who loves me, but i felt unworthy. Recently ive started searching for ways to show JESUS that i love HIM and ACCEPT HIM AS MY SAVIOR. With free will that GOD GAVE, Ive given up on alcohol and sexual partner to devote more energy to this cause. That was a piece of cake! The hardest thing is accepting(im unworthy) that if i put it in GODS hands the smoking will cease to exist also! Fasting and praying does help alot! Please help me remember in my toughest times is when HE will carry me thru ANYTHING. ONLY GOD KNOWS WHAT IS IN OUR HEARTS. We are ALL responsible for what we know. And i avoided (til now) all those stop smoking related videos. Now let me pick up my cross today, being the last day i smoke anything fulltime...or anytime!!! Pray for me as I do you. IN JESUS NAME. AMEN AMEN HALLELUJAH It is satans full time job to deceive us and to make us feel not good enough to be in GODS presence. He even tempted Jesus!

I've smoked since around 10 years old, stopped a few times but always gone back to it, I couldn't keep away I could not do it on my own. When I came to Jesus I realised it was not what He would want me to be doing and I wanted to stop to please Him, the moment I asked for help to quit I kid you notni woke up the very next day and had no desire to smoke what so ever! Not even any withdrawals from quitting or anything, you have to be honest with Jesus and allow Him to see you really want to quit and hand yourself over to Him and I'm sure He will save you from it like He did me. Oh and by the way, smoking was just one of the addictions Jesus healed me from, that morning I was healed from multiple substance abuse. All glory to Jesus Christ ❤️✝️

Physical addiction to ciggarettes is not a real thing, it's a choice plain and simple. You've simply formed a habit and found comfort in that habit. Find a quiet place where you can rest for 3 days, sip something with sugar in it like soda and stay calm. After 3 days it's all in your head. Nicotine levels are halved after 24 hours so in one day you have won HALF the battle, think about that. This thing that's had a hold over you can lose half its power in ONE DAY.

I understand. I suggest you ask the Holy Spirit over and over to help. Even if your not ready. Just go thru the motion of asking all the time. Ask that he create a desire to quit in you. It will eventually come to pass. It will be a sacrifice of your flesh in Gods honor. When we honor him, he honors us. I quit six days ago. I crave them every second. I cry out to Holy Spirit to help constantly and get thru that minute. It’s hard, but I feel a sense of joy. I feel humility and power at the same time, because I’ve chosen to quit. You CAN do it!

[@JESUSvsDEMONS]

Switch to vaping (not salt nics as they are very high in nicotine more then cigs ) then slowly reduce the nicotine strength. Also focusing on God during this time. Once the nicotine is so low it’s much easier to quit learn how to make your own vaping fluid saves A LOT of money and allows you to reduce nicotine over time. 😃✝️

[@nathanaelswayne8024]

Vlad! Hello sir!...you seem like a guy who wants to serve God sincerely. A few points on this vid. My only reason for writing this is that anytime someone says "The Bible doesn't say this is a sin, but its still a sin", I think there's gonna be a problem. I saw your tattoo video where you made similar points. First, you quoted a verse which spoke about a root being good or evil and then changed that to refer to origins of something. Root and origins are not the same. If they were, then, like you mentioned, we couldn't do anything basically since many things have some origin somewhere which isn't good. Second, "smoking damages the body". So does sugar, fatty foods, caffeine, running, sports, being out in the sun, etc. If something damaging the body makes it sinful, then you can''t do any of those. Obviously we aren't arguing over whether smoking is good for you, its not. "Smoking is highly addictive". Fair, but that doesn't make something wrong. Choosing to become addicted to that is different. Now of all your points, this is the best one for why someone might consider staying away from tobacco, but let's not call it sinful. "It conforms to the culture". So does coffee, so does your trendy haircut (not an insult at all), so does wearing jeans, so does using youtube. Churches have preached against a lot of things wrongly, like tattoos as well. Remember, "world" is the sinful stuff around us. Since smoking isn't sinful, then its not inherently part of the world. "Smoking affects people around". Then don't spoke around others. This is a good point for wisdom, but lets not say that makes it sin. "Smoking wastes money". I guess who determines what is a waste of money. Every luxury or hobby is a waste of money unless it brings joy to the person. So....all that to say, be careful if your'e gonna say that something is wrong even though the Bible doesn't say it. The temple of God verse is referring to sexual sin, so, "dont use God's temple to sin". Fair enough....if something isn't sin, you cant use that verse to prove that it is sin. In the end, be wise. If something controls you, then thats were the gospel comes in. But let's not add to things that are wrong beyond what the Bible says

Keep praying, but add fasting. Go several days without food. I recommend 6 full days and then also on the seventh day do a strong commanding prayer over yourself and command everything that is not of God to come out of your life in Jesus Chists name. Tell it go now and never come back all addiction out! Shout it! This is the Jericho method. Read the Bible Joshua chapter 6. Break the walls! It is a stronghold that will break down!

This was my final confirmation that I needed! Thank you! Vlad please do a video just on W**d. My son doesn’t see harm in it at all but his mind isn’t sober and that’s the problem. Plus if you burn something and inhale it it still does damage to your lungs. It burns the cilia in our lungs that function as protection and transports flem from the bottom of your lungs. Our cells produce perfect copies of themselves throughout our lives but if one mutates it can be deadly like cancer. If you damage the cells in your lungs they have to replicate more rapidly than when you do not do things that are harmful thus causing mutations to happen quicker.

I was not familiar with the deliverance ministry. Coming from a very religious territory we weren’t taught of this key gift of God. The Lord sent me to service led by a woman deliverance minster, which was also a no no. Long story short… I was delivered from the spirit of addiction and religion. Our ministry has sling shotted. All glory to God. QUIT IN JESUS NAME. If you don’t believe me test it. Day 3 of not smoking you will hear the growling now that your aware and this is separate of a “nic fit”. Come out in JESUS NAME!
