Up until a few months ago, I struggled so heavily with lust and porn. I would pray to God to help me not want it each time, but I still struggled. It was a few months ago that just as John described, I made the decision that I was done and was giving it completely to God and He took it away. There was a small part of me that still liked it, but once I decided to crucify my flesh, it was gone. It is definitely crucial to get yourself in His Word. Praise God!

How can you make yourself not like your sin? To me it’s falling in love with Jesus and it’s not wanting to hurt who you love, but there is times sin feels so powerful, and that’s when you need to know and say Lord I cant but you can because all Victory is yours because of what you have done and Then as your focus is on Jesus ( who he is & what he has done) the supernatural power of the Holyspirit goes to work. So then the power of sin is powerless. Then changes begins Total dependence A true born believer hate sin and hate when they sin. They want to repent quickly. (Not by obligation)

Until we meet with our heavenly father and receive new glorified bodies, we all remain sinful. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow... All fall short of the glory of God. we are all sinful by nature, but we can also choose to be filled by the grace of God. Only Jesus can blot out our sins. Justified through Jesus and Him alone, His work on the cross. Until we meet with Jesus, we will never be sinless.

The “because you still like it” part of the cigarette story really convicts me. I feel that way with a lot of the sin I’m still slave to till this day. How can we not like it? Is the answer to fill ourselves with the word until the desire goes away? This is something I struggle with everyday..
@8peacemedia4922 сағат бұрын
I do think getting the word is important. Real freedom comes when we uncover the ugliness of specific sin according to the word. For example, most of us enjoy physical pleasure, but if we examine the root (1 John 2:15 -16 NLT) and what the word says is the outcome (Romans 6:19 NLT) it doesn’t have the same lure. The more you dig into the truth the more you recognize it is the same sin that enslaves the people who abuse, devour, and do all kinds of detestable things to the most vulnerable among us. It’s the same master. You no longer want to lend your body to anything that opposes God. The words we pray start to change, our desperation for freedom changes, and ultimately our heart (out of it flows the issues of life) is sincere because we began to understand this thing we loved or enjoyed poisoned us into delusion. So we thought something was good but really it just messed up our tastebuds for God. “Every good and perfect gift comes from Him” if it ain’t from Him, is it really good? Hope this helps

I believe it was David Diga Hernandez. Fall into sin, get back up, two weeks later fall back, etc. In my experience it was like a diet. Eating healthy. The ox eating healthy grass with a little poisonous weeds infiltrated my theology (man's wisdom sensual). After a couple of weeks the lie: God knows your weakness, you are a man. You deserve this. You have been good all this time. You are not a really bad guy. The demonic temptation roses I smelled. Starting to smell good and enticing. You are a man after all. The devil could set me up earlier so I can't wait to get alone with my sin. Then regret, I am sorry, won't do it again. Two weeks later I can smell the rose with his partners justify and the (I can't wait) music. The devil can give you (not speaking curses) the feelings to line up with the lies. David said it was wrong believing. I said in my heart well I deserve my sin like a cigarette once in a while. God understands. David basically said it must be cut from the root. Praise God, free ever since.

No, you don’t miss heaven if you are truly saved. When we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are saved, and all our sins-past, present, and future-are forgiven, as stated in Hebrews. If we sin, there may be consequences in this life; for example, smoking can harm your health and even lead to serious illnesses like lung cancer. However, your salvation is secure, and you will not end up in hell because salvation is based on Christ’s finished work, not our perfection. Even if we struggle with repentance in certain areas, our salvation remains intact because it is rooted in God’s grace, not our actions.

It's merciful. I don't think Hell is an eternal torture chamber, and also the rich man and Lazarus is recognized as a parable. Hell has different titles in the Bible, but the second death I believe is referred to by Jesus in Matthew 5 - my rough interpretation is: it's better to lose a limb or eye here than be completely discarded from the Book of Life. Jesus taught in ways that could be understood, so in saying there is weeping and gnashing of teeth, that speaks on the utter destruction. Matthew 10:28 I'm personally for God's plan the way it is. I might seem evil, but as someone who worked in hazardous waste management, some things just make sense. I don't think this will cause anyone to stumble. I personally used to be a hell awaits me / let's see kind of guy, now, I'd rather just get right with God and repent. Take care man

I say this with all due respect. I have been a smoker for over 30 years. I had a heart attack when I was 34 and had to have a stent placed. I continued to smoke and still do to this day, even with the health issues. I have prayed and prayed and prayed to God to deliver me. I cannot do it myself, obviously. I NEED for Him to deliver me. If I didn't still crave cigarettes like crazy, I wouldn't NEED Him to deliver me!! That's the whole struggle! The struggle for people is that they can't stop the insane craving for whatever it is that they struggle with. That's part of what drives people to their knees in prayer. The fact that nothing is different after prayer. Which is why u always hear people say that they have tried and tried to quit this or quit that. They WANT to be free. I wish I didn't feel this way but I am really starting to believe that God picks who He wants to help. There are ones that are chosen and the rest simply aren't.

But one thing i hope to encourage you in is that even though what you have experienced is real and has greatly affected you, I want to emphasize that God sent Jesus to die and spill his blood for your cleansing as much as he has done it for the smoker who was set free. A lie from the enemy may have slipped in that God isnt going to help you like he has others. I want to emphasize that the very reason Jesus was manifested was to take away our sin. (1 John 3:5) Jesus died to take away your sin, not just cover it. I'm not sure if you have ever done this but its so important to align your belief system with the reality that, on the cross, Jesus became your addiction to smoking and he put it to death. and you died with him and were raised with him in newness of life. Though it sounds strange to say it like this; you are not someone who has a smoking problem. You are a child of the kingdom of God and the addictive tendencies of the flesh pale in comparison to the power of Jesus who is alive inside you. I understand you may still be smoking even at this moment. But you are loved, your are forgiven, and in Christ you are free. He's given you everything you need. Believing it may be the last thing you have to do to see this freedom manifested in your life. The love of Jesus is over you. The power of sin is broken. "sin will have no dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace" Rom 6 I'm hoping this could be of some encouragement to you. Be blessed Child of God

Beloved, I feel you! Remember, God told US to RESIST the enemy! HE empowers you BY HIS SPIRIT to RESIST & the more you say "NO" to that sigaret & SAY "I AM THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD" you'll BECOME tasteless for that & TASTIER FOR MORE OF HIM. Hope this help you! God bless & o ja, remember EVERYTIME The Lord told them who was set free of sin/addiction He said:"GO & SIN NO MORE!" Love Him MORE than you love yourself. When smoking, your lungs are not only filled with the smoke, it is like blowing that smoke into Holy Spirit's face too!!! SELA ❤

Of course the Bible is most important. Some biblical things that may shed light and work directly from the Bible are usually good Rest well, have the Armor of God on at all times.

I’d argue just about any amount of consistency, from everyday to once every year even, it depends on if it’s a genuine mistake in which you repent immediately, or if it’s something you seek, maybe not intentionally, but your mind does. And yes, your mind can stop seeking things of sin, as Paul, I think, said

You Cleans yourself by Repenting and getting Baptized in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. To say you receive or accept his word is not found in the bible. Is basically by hearing the good news and realizing God Truth is Real and beholds the Judgment of you. The Father puts conviction and the desire to repent therefore you understand the Fathers will, because he loves us so much.🎉

@@timothyn4699If THE SON sets you FREE you will be FREE indeed. Exodus 6:6-7 [6] “Therefore, say to the people of Israel: ‘I am the Lord. I will free you from your oppression and will rescue you from your slavery in Egypt. I will redeem you with a powerful arm and great acts of judgment. [7] I will claim you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God who has freed you from your oppression in Egypt. Matthew 9:28-29 [28], “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they replied. [29] Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”; Matthew 8:2-3 [2] A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” [3] Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. Jesus can set you free as not is impossible for him. The only thing is you need to have desire to come out of slavery and believe in the work of the cross and He is able to set you free. Do you believe he can do this ?

If I cannot be free from sin by my own strength, why hasn’t God freed me from my sin despite begging for the past 3-4 years?

God has given you strength. Let one who is tempted not say God has tempted, but in every temptation God has provided a way out. God gives you strength, but we still need to obey. Like your conscience, if you hurt someone, you may get a feeling to forgive or apologize, but, we still make the choice of whether to do it or not. If it's deeper, may need to seek deliverance to help rid some of the stronger feelings. But we should still have a power and choice. If you need more willpower, God can help you with that. If you've constantly given in, it's harder, work with God to break the negative momentum

Have faith brother. Be determined to cut out sin from its root. The root is our flesh, the old nature. Be determined to fix your eyes of Jesus everyday. Meditating on his word and yielding to the holy spirit. Watch as you gain dominion over sin, subdue fleshly desires for sin and your life totally transformed
