Ask God to convict your heart when you go to buy another pack. I'm not agreeing that's it's ok to smoke, because I did for years! I dipped snuff as well. I had a conviction to stop. I admit, I continued to pick it back up time and time again.. I'm free from it now Glory to God! But you have to take steps. I don't believe it will keep you out of heaven, but it can definitely shorten your life here. And I recognize addiction as a spirit as well. This guy had good advice. Fast cigarettes, and seek the Lord on the matter. Find scripture that speaks to your heart about deliverance. Believe the word and stand on it! Deliverance will come!
Repeat this verse 2 Corinthians 10:5 again and again.This is a really powerful verse my dear brother.Before buying another cigratte,if the thought of buying another pack arises,Repeat it again and again until the thought goes out of your mind.
We all know that we're evil too. I hope!!!😡 Sinners saved by grace. Looking like stiff or stuff shirt won't change that fact.🤓 I'm not advocating sinning, but I love a cigar every now and then. Please don't put a guilt trip on people who would like some to enjoy some of the finer things in this life in this rather short existence.🤔 Jesus is my God, and he's coming soon.😐
I smoked & did high dose of methadone for 25 years but GOD has came too me so many times in those years I lost count & finally I became convinced I was going too Hell but GOD choose to bring me too my knees of extreme fear as I knew demons where controlling me so 2 months ago I Repented & now my Wife & Son go to Church twice a week with me.God has radically changed my life but Im still smoking when I loose focus or stressed & I got the doctor too detox me off that evil methadone & start by cutting dose in half then going down from there until I'm totally free. I believe God is letting me fight some myself too teach me how too be prepared for a lifelong spiritual fight thats raging & only getting worse by the day! May GOD Strengthen You Too in the coming storm against GODS Children !
Smoked for over 40 years. Its a horrible addiction. I pray everyday Jesus will deliver me. I know its bad for your body, and any damage is already done but I pray for the motivation, willpower and strength to quit.
Love the way he explained this. But guys that doesn’t mean be comfortable in smoking it is a process to stop. But take your time guys. I’m in this battle also with weed. God Bless.
@@marryjane1684 if you get " bored " then pick up your Bible and get with it and Him ! Its now my first cure to anything that ails me to restlessness and i find it thrilling sometimes to tears I promise you that ! Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on Us Sinners ! Amen .
It’s a sin, I smoke cigs, over 10 years now. I feel so guilty after one 🤦🏻♀️. If we’re stressed, do we grab our Bibles or grab our cigs first? We should lean & depend on God fully. I’m tired of asking for forgiveness after I smoke. And what makes it even worse is knowing it’s a sin, STILL doing it, STILL asking for forgiveness afterwards. I gotta do better. I need to surrender completely.
The pastor is honest to admit all points of view. I used to date a christian fitness instructor that enjoyed smoking. She was always sharing the love of Christ without judgement. I think you should take it easy on yourself. All of us do things we shouldn't. The famous preacher c h spurgeon famously said he would smoke his cigar to the glory of God..
I'm a Christian, full of the Holy Spirit, have experiences in dreams/visions from God. And I'm am a smoker off and on for many many years. This is my battle, my temptation. I need prayers to overcome this. Thanks
Ive been a smoker since the age 17. Im 35 now and I was getting really grossed out from cigarettes. And I was always broke because they cost so much. It came to a point where I knew I couldn't do it and I asked God to help me and he did. I havent had a cigarette in almost a year. Praise the Lord
I quit for 8 months and then got back on it and having a really tough time quitting again. It was so easy the last time I stopped, why can't I do it again. It's such a tough thorn of my flesh. I feel so guilty for doing it and yet I do. It makes me feel I don't love GOD enough and that makes me feel even worse and yet I can't stop it this time. I also feel it is driving me nuts and yet I can't stop it. Prayer after prayer after prayer.
Im really tryna get better with Jesus i am also a weed smoker i changed my life a long time ago i pray an hope he will forgive us and understand everyone stay blessed and pray more with sincerity
Wanted to say one quick thing, smoking tabac is one thing but smoking weed actualy is a sin. I dont know if you are smoking weed right now, and im not judging you. But if you smoke weed you should stop it, because thing that makes us numb and change our thinking is sinful.
I was a weed smoker bro for 13 years and the lord took all my cravings for it away and smoking weed is a sin , it says we shouldn’t be drunkards or foolish and weed certainly makes us foolish and it’s blocks teaching from Jesus hence why it’s called the devils lettuce lol not judging you man I know how hard and addictive the stuff is but trust in the lord and he’ll take it from you, I’m trying to stop smoking going a week without them then always give in feel bad and throw them away but keep up the faith and quit the weed lad praying for you !!
Opens gate ways to demons to clout your mind we are in a battle for your mind body and sprit be careful what u put in your boby man I'm a x addict quit by the GEACE OF GOD I DO NOT DRUNK SMOKE WEED DO COKE ANY MORE HE TOOK THE TASTE OF IT OUT OF MY MOUTH AND I NEVER LOOKED BACK OR WILL I DO THAT AND TURN MY EYES OFF JESUS
I used to smoke weed everyday every time I'm high I ask for forgiveness and when I'm over the high I do smoke crigrettes and drink every once in awhile the problem I have is crigrettes I been smoking sents 6 years old now I'm 39 still smoking ready to quit everytime I run out ok I'm quit about and hour or so I'll bye a pack and having withdraws when I anit got none
I quit recently. And i love not smoking now i can breath i have more money.less stress really. More time on going to and from the store. Its awsome. I cant believe i was a slave to that sin of smoking so long. I m free awsome in jesus name a pray for you
I’m a smoker (marijuana) I really want to stop but honestly I’ve stopped praying about it because I felt like I would just disobey and lie to god. Guys please send a prayer up for me!! I will continue to try and fight the urge
Crystalizer, thank you for sharing openly on here. It's great to recognize that you're not wanting to pray and then "disobey." The reality is, is that all of us are fighting the flesh and the very best way to fight the flesh is to continue to pursue the Spirit of God through prayer. We will be praying for you, but don't stop praying!
I’m not a chain smoker nor a pot head. I just enjoy it sometimes. It seems like everyone who looks this stuff up smokes a blunt everyday. Everytime I light up I pray, and listen to jazz or some type of chill music. I just want to know if it’s a sin or not if I don’t idolize it nor use it irresponsibly
Im so glad i watched this. I have heard both sides of the camp as well. Ive come to conclusion that smoking is literally what made me think hard and to seek God. I used to wake up and smoke everyday and now I have such self control that it can be in the room people be smoking and i can say no. I went a full 100 days without smoking and before that i hadnt gone 30. It in fact is in my room now and i havent touched it or taken one puff. I am proud of myself for that and i hope God can love me for who i am and see that i love him and have held his name up during my weakest moments. I hope one day i will be ok again
Thanks for this Father Rory. My 8 year addiction to nicotine started in college as a means to help me study (along with mucho coffee) and continued into my first few years as a professional. I knew it was bad and dealing with the "defiling my body/Lord's Creation/Temple" guilt was so difficult. However, the Lord never gave up on me, and with sh*t loads of prayer, meditation, ministerial counseling, and Nicorette, I've had no urge for cigarettes in 14 years. Praise be to God and may the Lord be with ALL of you!
I’ve been struggling with my addiction to smoking. Please God, help me to release this addiction and to lean more fully into you for everything I need. Grant me the self control I need to say no to myself when the thoughts of smoking get overwhelming. Everything is possible through YOU, in Jesus’ name, AMEN 🙏🏽
Amen Wil M! We'd love to say a prayer with you as well! Jesus we lift up our friend Wil M to you and ask that you would removed the desire to smoke. Free Wil from those strongholds in life and allow deeper connection and freedom with you. We pray this in your healing name, amen!
I was a 2 pack a day smoker for 10 years. I switched to vaping thinking it would help my health and maybe I should just give it up? I love nicotine so much it's ridiculous. Life is hard please pray for me
Please pray for me to be delivered from the addiction of smoking. I've smoked cigarettes since I was 17 and I'm 51 now. I have quit many many times in my life only to be drawn back into it when really bad things happen. I was free for two years and started smoking again in 2016 when my mother and my 16 year old, only son died. He died in my arms from a sudden asthma attack... turning to smoking was my coping mechanism. Anyway, I would really appreciate the prayers. - Thanks.
@@margiemuoio4813 thank you for asking. I stopped smoking cigarettes Jan of 2021 but I am still addicted to nicotine. I vape as little as possible. I am praying the Lord will deliver me by September. God Bless you.
Now a slave has no permanent place in the family but a son belongs to it forever. What about smokers who made a vow to God ? ( When you make a vow to God do not delay in fulfilling it.he has no pleasure in fools fulfil your vow. ) Are there any fools in heaven, the answer is no so quit smoking cigarettes, Jesus says he came to set the captives free, everytime you light up a cigarette say out loud i am free from the addiction of smoking cigarettes, eventually you will be set free , dont keep thinking or saying negative thoughts, everything is possible for him who believes. Glory to God.
I actually clicked this link because I thought it was about marijuana. So I asked myself the same 3 questions. 1. The Bible says God created every seed bearing plant, and it was good. 2. I've also seen opinions on both sides, condemning it, and saying it's okay. 3. Lastly, it is beneficial for me. My doctor prescribed me 2 Xanax bars per day for a chemical imbalance. With marijuana I have no need for Pharmaceuticals. Any thoughts or opinions on this topic?
In my opinion, God created everything seed verse is pre fall. It's hard for me to believe it was needed in the garden of Eden. I simply refer to my Church elders on the topic. No. I've had to admit, yes it is addictive and I was addicted. But I'm still on the fence about it. My brain fog clears up and I preach on good doctrine so eloquently and relentlessly when high on it. I'll remember the Bible verses I need; think about them the right way. But as time goes on, and days go by, eventually, I become lazy, can't get up as early, and my lust for women grows significantly using marijuana. My addictive personality is too hard to control on my own. I want to say... 'only every once in a long while' but I can't recommend that to anyone. We're commanded to be sober minded. I think that applies to pot as well. When Judgement day comes, I don't want to have to explain myself or try to defend it. IF it's good for a Christian and we don't know about it. Whatever, life's a vapor anyways. But if it's bad... Thank God for the cross!
Lord Please forgive me for all my sins I acknowledge you Heavenly Father I want to get closer and lay in your arms lord god help me with my ways and addictions lord In the name of Jesus I pray amen 🙏🏾
My observation while attending church has brought me to the conclusion that there are large number of people who think it’s fine to live in sin. Presumptuous sins . Sexual sin. I chose to not live a life of sinning. I have free will to not go on sinning.
So does that mean you never, had a bad thought toward your neighbors, never passed judgment on anyone? Yes these sins are not seen by the world, but God sees you... So think twice before saying you're sin free. Because we need to repent daily, but if you are without sin cast the first stone.
Also, we should strive to live a sin free life... We shouldn't sin with the intention of sinning. But if you speak badly about someone, that's a sin towards God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Because you don't know the journey God is taking them on and also the outcome of their testimony will be an encouragement for the nations
Imma be honest with you I'm Christian I've been smoking since I was 17 before I became Christian and I did not stop I stopped for a month and then I stopped for 5 months then I went to this Therapy Program and it's a lot of people smoking and all that smoke when I'm me that made me wanted to smoke again and my pastor is saying to everybody in the church those that smoke will go to hell please pray for me I don't want to go to hell I want to be pray I'm a good person I'm a good Christian I need a prayer please anybody that has a heart please pray for me God bless you all😢😢😭
You won't go to hell for smoking don't be silly . Listen if you believe Jesus to be Ur salvation and he died o the cross for you and ui repent your sins . And you try to change then know that God knows you feel bad. Nd trying to change. Listen I been smoking since I was 9 heavy smoker weed from when I was mm 15 I have up for 9 years started again but now it's been 3 months no weed .and I cut down my smoking to about 3 to 8 max a day. I went 5 days without then I smoked cos the stress of the pandemic every other day I smoke . But considering I was smoking so much I couldn't breath I've cut down a lot . And eventually I will stop . I couldn't go ten or less minutes with out one b4 let alone 5 days or two days . Eventually I will stop. You can't quit just like that it's all about will power see. God knows we are sinners right he knows what we gonna do b4 we do it. Yeah I feel ashamed a failure dirty ect. I even hid in the shed thinking god couldn't see me . I make promises to him that I stop them stress gets the better of my sinful nature and I smoke. But I ask God to forgive me and my false promises . But deep down he knows whats in my heart and he knows I feel bad for reviving him and mainly myself. Yeah we shouldn't smoke but then we shouldn't do a lot things. Jesus came down he she'd blood for our sins did he not right . Well this is the reason you must trust in god's good nature and know he is a loving and merciful God. He knows what's in your heart that's all that matters really. I used say if I die cos I smoke it gets me to god quicker. But now I think if I cut down and eventually stil it gives me longer to serve out the purpose god has already planned for me . You can't go cold turkey trust me I TRYED didn't work . It's all about changing habbits no amount of prayer will help u if u don't firstly help urself. God wants to help us but he also wants us to help ourselfs first. You will get there forgive yourself and ask god to guide you along the right path ok. He's listening he hears you he knows you. Remember that no matter how big the giant Infront of you is its never as big as the giant god that is behind you watching your back. Stop stressing and ask Jesus to help you break away from addiction. Any addiction is hard. I was addicted to eating ice cubes I used eat 4 bags a day cut right done now I eat none. I know strange addition hei . I have no thyroid. Low iron . But now I eat better my iron levels up. I got addicted to the crunch and the brain freeze. Uts better than a crack addiction I used say but it still cased me damage . U do it I know you can and u will I believe that God knows you want to stop same with me and in time it will happen . Remember God works in his time. Not oursm if u ask u shall receive . But in god's time. Be patient and Carry on praying. Xx
Everyone is to seek out there own salvation with fear and trembling. If they have a relationship with Christ, he will show them what's pleasing and not. I agree with bondage as sin. Addiction is a spirit! But everyone has to work their own thing out with God...
Another angle is - if the thing that you desire makes you a slave to it, then it's ruling your body and not your body ruling it. Smoking addiction is the same, it makes your body want more of it so eventually every smoker is a slave to it. So make choices but be wise enough to control it your way.
I believe our body is temple of god. I do smoke weed and cigs but In my heart Iknow it’s not right. And that’s god telling me it isn’t. But as long as you have the desire to quit Jesus will help you threw it 🙏🏽
I use to love smoking then I fell I love with Jesus and I know I’m saved regardless but quitting has been challenging but the goal remains the same I pray others out there chose to not smoke even if just once because it’s very addictive and hard to get off weed is addictive even after the physical cravings are gone you still want it because it is something that altered your mind...it becomes a crutch
Everyone talks about Smoking, being a Sin, but no one talks about Gluttony, and there are so many overweight "Christians" out there. Now, I realize that some people are overweight, because of Medical Conditions, but I'm talking about those that are overweight, because they overeat. I'm not trying to justify Smoking, but the Bible doesn't specifically say that Smoking is a Sin, but it does say that overeating is!
to me it's simple if something is consuming your life then stop. But just like how it talks about being able to drink with a joyful heart if u wanna smoke a doobie then do it in the same way just dont let anything become an idol. As in the bible it says something like a man who is led astray by something is not a wise man.
God loves you brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. I watched my earthly father smoke for the last 20 years or so of his life and he died gasping for breath. God does not want you to smoke it will lead to death. You can overcome if you give Jesus your life. I was set free from smoking early in my walk with God. Feel free to contact me for prayer and suggestions. I have not until recently become an overcomer in Jesus and I had to give up trying to live for myself and give this whole life to God. Trust me God is worth it. Revelation 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the Tree of Life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.’
our bodies are the temple of God, by smoking it is harming the temple, i smoked for years, smoked weed for years, opiates etc......i have recently made the choice to quit all of these things, been struggling but i can do it with Jesus by my side, so can you whoever you are who is dealing with this!
Hi I’m a baby Christian i found Christ and I really want to cry because I keep having doubts about my faith I know it’s normal but It’s tiring if there’s anyone I can talk to about this please let me know!
Emma I don't know if your ever see this, but your comment expressed what I feel, I wish I could talk to someone like you, let me know how things turned out or who to reach out to
I’m a smoker to I study and share Christ Jesus his Word daily their No scriptures truly supporting it ! Trying to quit please 🙏❤️📖 It’s a bad health choice addiction that I want to quit need HIS Devine Holy Spirit touch only He can Give I do believe at the right moment He will Glory to Him 🙏❤️📖🙌🙌🙌🩸🙌🙌🌹🍃🎼🎶🎵🕊️🕊️🕊️
The short answer is yes Jeffrey! Nothing can disqualify you from the Kingdom of God but you must allow Jesus to be Lord of your life not the things you're addicted to or anything else. Those things you've listed above may be true but is your heart in a posture of repentance and becoming more like Jesus? That's the only question that matters!
ONE&ALL they aren’t my lord, god is. Recently I’ve been reading the Bible more , praying more, and getting closer to the lord, but I wasn’t sure if I had to stop those or not to go to heaven.
That's amazing to hear Jeffrey! What we'd say is that as you get closer to Jesus and His Spirit's leading in your life, he will tell you if you have to give those things up or not. Does that make sense?
@@jeffreyeyler7035 I don't know what specific answers you are seeking but Jesus Christ says that those who love Him obey and do the will of His Father so if God tells you to give something up and you don't truly strive to do so you can't fake that you're being obedient when you're not and Scripture would say that the true love of Christ and of God is not in you. I am a smoker and I've been a smoker for 22 years now. I'm only 33 years old. It's horrible. I am addicted and I am striving to obey God and to give it up. Look within your heart and ask yourself are you striving to be obedient or not? Because we're not going to go to hell for what we're doing but we all could go for our lack of love for God which is demonstrated through our obedience. the same way that many would say if you went out and did every single thing your parents told you not to when you were a kid then you were showing no love and no respect for your parents because you were constantly disobeying them.
I believe that what he said in this video applies to both cigarettes and marijuana because they have a very similar effect. What would make it a sin is if you can't go without it and are idolizing it over God. Otherwise it could be used with discipline for beneficial reasons such as helping with sleep. You do not want it to take over God's position in your life though where you need it to cope rather than needing God to deal with your anxieties and stress. Seek what the Lord is telling you to do based on how and why you use it.
Medicinal purposes only, prescription given by a doctor and you knowing for a fact that you need it....if you're doubting then maybe you should check your heart... God bless.
If its used Medically No,if you stay Stoned all day just to be stoned thats different. I smoke for My MS & i prayed about it,i Turned it over to Jesus and i have like 2-3 hits @ bed time.I threw 5 meds away within days & 2 Canadain crutches In just wks it was a GOD Send for ME,Gen 1;29 I give you Every seed bearing plant for meat Which would include as for meds R U Rapture Ready because its So very Soon
I cant stop smoking weed ive been smoking it since i was 16 after my mom died and i have depeneded on it ever since im 20 now and i do love teaching gods word but when pepole hear i smoke weed it makes me feel like they wont listen to my message some one semd me some advice plz i used to smoke meth amd tobacco but ive been clean from those since November 2019
Thanks for sharing Stephen. It takes a lot to be vulnerable in this way. We will continue to pray alongside you. Do you feel the Spirit is prompting you to give up weed?
Thanks for sharing Brayden! One of the things we talk about around ONE&ALL is giving up something we love for something we love even more. Hopefully, if you're a follower of Jesus, that's Jesus.
Could it be possible that some people do it to completely focus on God and Jesus? If weed makes you feel happy you should use the good energy you get from weed and transition into understanding your standing with God or just thinking and focusing on God because he loves us.✝️🙏🏽❤️
This is a tough question to answer DashRendarGaming! I think that each person must discern what the Spirit of God is leading them to do. The goal for all of us is to become more and more like Jesus and let him be the Lord of our lives sacrificing everything in our life to gain eternal life with him. So I would challenge you and ask, what is God calling you to do as it pertains to weed.
Number one question is: Why do I like this guy right off the bat? :-) But seriously, I am a Christian. I have been a professing Christian all of my life but only a Christian who actually bears fruit for about five to six months -- when 6 months ago I received the Holy spirit. Now, I have been a smoker since I was 12 years old and I am now 33 years old. I have been smoking for well over half of my life - straight. I've never quit except during both of my pregnancies. I didn't quit right away in my first pregnancy as I had already been smoking for 17 years. In my second pregnancy, I did not even find out that I was pregnant until I was six months and I'd already began smoking again. My first daughter was a year 1/2 old. So, I did not quit during my second pregnancy until I was already six months when I found out I was pregnant with her and she came the following month. All glory to God that she is a beautiful, intelligent and healthy baby girl to this day. But, suffice it all to say, that I've been smoking ever since I was old enough to make a reasonable decision and even then, I made a very unreasonable one. Smoking is a horrible habit that I wish I never started. Both of my parents were smokers, which is relevant to the case. I am not only now praying for deliverance but actually working toward quitting but I am not doing so with the fervor that I have worked towards other things. In fact, as soon as I received the Holy Spirit many sins like profanity, fornication, hate, unjustified anger, etc., didn't require much work from me at all and fell right off of me within a month or so only by the power of the Holy Spirit. This smoking thing, I'm having trouble with and I love the Lord and I know that smoking is not pleasing to Him regardless if it is a sin or not. I know that smoking is not healthy for me. If I've realized anything about God it is that He is love, gives love and He loves life -- which is what He gave us all. He wants us to treat our lives as if they mean something. When I smoke, knowing that it could eventually lead to my death, I am inadvertently treating my life as if it is worthless. I'm not beating myself up about it but I am being honest with myself to promote change within. I know that God can deliver me from smoking and since He has not done so as of yet I have come to believe that He is using it -- like everything else in my life -- as a Testimony. It will be an ultimate Testimony when I do quit and it will be all for His Glory and by His Grace. Until then, I will continue striving to do what is pleasing to God and since smoking is not that, I will continue to strive to smoke less and less. I merely wanted to offer my experience on the matter. Sorry, if this is too long for some of you who are not avid readers.
I quit smoking 28 years ago. I just picked it up again recently after being around my husband who smokes a very pure tobacco. The smoke from his cigarettes never bothered me...only everyone else's. It's probably because most people's smoke is full of poisonous chemicals. Now I wish I'd started smoking THIS tobacco years ago to relieve chronic pain from spinal issues and diagnosed am anxiety. No prescription medications have been able to do this for me. I have no desire to smoke tge brands that are full of chemicals. That stuff bothers me. God gave us plants and herbs for our use, but it's JOW and WHY we use them thst matters. So; why is it, no one seems to have a problem with someone running to the pharmacy for their pain and anxiety to get a pill that has a mike long list of side affects worse than the symptom they're taking it for? That's not a sin...but smoking even a pure tobacco cigarettes, that has znti-parasitic and anti-inflammitiry properties is a sin? We thank God for the food We shove on our mouths, but we can't thank him for a plant thst relieves our pain?
When we accepted Christ as our Lord and personal saviour, we became new creation, the old has gone and the new life has come. And how come we can still smoke. We are also called to be the salt and light of this world, but what testimony do we have when we our lives dont make difference at all to the unbelievers.
I’m a smoker. If I am reading the Bible and smoke a cig I just a feeling like I’m doing something wrong and feel dirty. I feel that’s God talking to me through my conscience. Also I believe doing anything that’s bad or unhealthy for your temple is a sin. You are not supposed to hurt the body God gave us. It has kept me from bonding with Jesus like I want to. I’ll avoid reading the Bible cause I’d rather smoke. I won’t do both together. I have to quit... God tells me to. Also the Bible does mention smoking. There is a verse that says they drank, they smoked, they committed Adultery
Amen thanks for your comments,I thought I was alone on this I'm a smoker but I don't like smoking while reading the Bible and I think it's wrong I find it a difficult to stop but God bless u🙏
Kasey Marlowe - Iam a Christian, I do smoke ( about 1/2 pack per day), but I cannot read the Bible if I’m smoking, I feel guilty for some reason & I know why because our body is the temple of Christ - Iam addicted having smoked since I was 17, but I know if I give this addiction to Jesus He will help me quit this nasty habit! On one hand I enjoy smoking, but on the other hand, I’m disgusted. I know my smoking isn’t going to keep me out of Heaven, I love the Lord with all my heart & soul, I know He loves me in spite of my sins which I have repented & He has forgiven me!!!!❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️💙💚💜💙💚🌸💖💥💗💖💥❤️💚💙🙏🙏🙏
He talked about that in the video, that specific scripture is talking about sexual sin but it also says in Matthew 15:11 and other verses in Matthew that "it is not what enters the mouth that defiles the body but what comes out of your mouth" , saying that its the things you say that defiles your body and makes you unclean.
What if I hit the oil thc pen let’s say 2 or 3 times just to get a mellow buzz to help my body with the physical stress that living in this evil world bring us. I’ve noticed when I’m mellow I look for the Lord and the Truth a lot more. In your guys opinions could it still be considered a sin in The Creator’s point of view ?
Jose, thank you so much for your question and desire to seek others in your faith journey. We would say that it's great you're seeking the Lord and truth but fundamentally you've associated the "oil thc pen" as a way to rid stress but the ridding of stress comes from the Prince of Peace, who is Jesus. It's less about your actions and more about the reason behind your actions. If you're looking to seek the Lord and experience His peace, pray for that and be in the Bible daily.
I use medical marijuana for my PTSD and I never do it to "party" it keeps me normal and he gave us every fruit and seed bearing tree, and I never party , I was smoking cigarettes too but now it's just vaping ...one step at a time
Amen here’s the thing sickness can be healed and we all have a personal doctor Jesus Christ he wasn’t scarified for nothing he died so we can walk in righteousness I Understand you, but Jesus can keep you before smoking weed
As a Christian, whether you smoke or not is a personal choice. To your own master you fall or stand. Is that in Corinthians or is it in Galatians ? If you as a Christian can smoke with a clear conscience, I really have no say so. That's between you and The Lord. Another argument I've heard was : can I smoke marijuana ? Those who defend it say, it's a plant. God made the plant; so it can't be bad. If you smoke and it bothers your conscience, that's the Holy Spirit dealing with you on a personal level. And no, you won't go to hell if you smoke.
What I think, smoking is permissible but not beneficial, I agree with him. Smoking isn't a sin either but i think as long as something doesn't make you drift from God, then it's feasible to participate in that thing.
True! XenoPetra, do you also feel like it's worth asking the question, "does this bring me closer to God?" when evaluating an action you're performing.
The way I'm getting off cigs, is ok for me, but won't work with heavily addicted people. I just refuse to smoke until 5.00pm. After that, I will probably have one after supper, and then one a bit later, but for some people, it's VERY DIFFICULT to go that long without cigarettes, but it is VERY rewarding when you do.
Question! How about smoking herbs that are healthy? Like smoking tea leafs for pain relief/calming or for natural herbal healing?? I’m going holistic and some ways herbs are taken for consumption is smoking it! Thoughts??
Thanks for asking Jackson. The pursuit of Jesus is the most important thing we can do. If this video has a takeaway, it's about pursuing Jesus and listening to the Holy Spirit that indwells us.
That answer may feel cryptic but it's actually not about smoking or not smoking. It's about the posture of our hearts and if we're becoming more like Jesus. In this podcast episode, Pastor Jeff talks about "trajectory" in S1 Ep13 of the ONE&ALL Podcast which can be found here: oneandall.church/podcasts
Name one smoker in your life that doesn't say curse words. They all have a defiled tongue. It's the devil. It addictive, destructive and sinful. That's why a person must truly be delivered and set free to be able to quit smoking.
A former girlfriend of mine was a fitness instructor, christian and smoker. She always shared the love of Christ without judgement and I never heard her curse once during our dating.
@@darrenvmatthews I bet she cusses now if she never gave up the smoking. God may have been dealing with her back then. Like you said, "while we were dating"
I'm not sure why you equate smoking with cursing. There is no necessary correlation between the two. I don't believe she will be cursing now as she never did curse on this earthand she is in heaven now. She died in a car accident leaving her devoted husband and loving friends very sad
Lol short answer yes, you can absolutely be a smoker and be a christian. No it doesn't glorify god, but at the same time smoking is no different than any other sin. Sin is sin. Now, you can overcome it with alot of work and faith and help of Christ. The wise thing to do is quit. But God chastises us for things we do that we aren't supposed to or shouldn't do. Great message brother. Very encouraging video.
Is it okay to smoke marijuana for pain relief? I have had much pain in my lower back, and horrible pain in my private part area for the past 16 years, and nothing else helps. I have prayed so much and cried out to God and been seeking God, and years go by and the pain is crippling. The whole game changes when you're in constant pain every day of your life. It's mentally and emotionally exhausting. Going through it day after day after day for many years. I need Jesus to heal the blood circulation and heal this blood engorgement which is the cause of this pain.
When there is a grey area, it's so important to pray. We're sorry for the pain you're in and we're glad you're turning to prayer both for healing and wisdom regarding marijuana. Continue relying on him!
What if you smoke for fun? I’m not addicted, but when I’m hanging out with friends I like to smoke. I don’t do it often, so I don’t feel like I’m sinning.
Hi Brock if you identify as a Christian I'd say it's a sin, would Jesus or God smoke? the answer is no (I know you could say that for a lot of things) but we are specifically mentioning smoking !
i heard Derek Prince say that addictions come from frustration and demons cause addictions and there are different demons. We are to shine not be dull and blend in. God said we are to be like a city on a hill. If we do all that the world does who could tell the differnce?? We are a peculiar people. How are we peculiar if we do drugs and drink and party?? No more excuses. My brother died and he suffered for years under addiction of drugs and alcohol and one of the drugs was marijuana Don't let people think it's ok!! Marijuana is a gateway drug. Be sober minded.
Don’t be mastered by anything! Is it expedient, meaning - does it free your feet? In my experience with nicotine from vape, I’ve gotten addicted within a few hours of starting it, and it didn’t free my feet. Also, it will make your mind different from sobriety for a short time for some people at first - and this is sinful.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts macumus! It's important to realize that we are all on our own journey. Of course we're called to sobriety and a sound mind but that can look different for each of us. This is why being in tune with the Holy Spirit is so vital!
Be careful about telling people that smoking won't send them to hell. The bible says we are not to defile the temple of the Holy Ghost which is our body.You said it is only to do with sexual sin and gave no scripture but made a point about backing up with scripture. So here is some scripture.Romans 8:13-14 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live, for as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the Sons of God. Galatians 5:19-2- Now the works of the flesh are manifest which are these: Adultery, fornication; uncleanness, lascivioiusness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of the which I tell you before, as I have told you in the past, that they which do such things, shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (That's serious, so we tell you in love, be careful what you teach and stick with the bible. Uncleanness, well what do you think that can be besides sexual. If we put poison in our bodies where the Holy Spirit resides and God says to not defile it or we shall die meaning go to hell, then we had better know that smoking is a sin) Here is more scripture. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, are ye not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your Spirit which are Gods. 1 Corinthians 3:16-18 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.Let no man decieve himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (So what do you want to be?) People should at least be trying to stop and keep asking God to help them as we have. God will eventually take it away if we persist. We can pray for one another too for this stronghold to be pulled down. We may not be perfect, but we must strive to be holy, or we are in danger of burning forever. So we tell you in love and anyone reading this. Gods word is true. Always check the scriptures before you believe anyone. Repent brother for not sharing the whole truth. You may not smoke but your saying it's not a sin could cause others to go to hell and you will be held responsible. Love Mitch and Mary.
I’m glad to know this I was reborn a while ago and I usually smoke maybe once every week I can go a month without but if me and a guy are talking will share a smoke over it
Stop feeding your flesh with cigarettes & feed your spirit more & more than you feed your weak flesh. When you feed your flesh & let your spirit go hungry your flesh gets stronger & overpowers your spirit that desperately needs spiritual food ; reading the Bible, Praying more than just 5 min a day, being around other people who Love the Lord, & going too Church every chance you get fuels your spirit which gives you power over your weak flesh we all possess. The harder we try after falling down the sooner God will realize we are serious about quitting sin i.e. " smoking" then bless us with the power of Holy Spirit too live a Rightious Life!
Thanks for the reminder to feed the Spirit and not the flesh. Whether smoking is sin or not, we know that our flesh is weak but the Spirit that lives within us is strong!
😕😕😕 I'm sure you can be Christians and do all kinds of things but does God want us to damage the Temple of the holy ghost? I have a true addiction myself and I really do have a passion and love for Jesus Christ but does he want me smoking or a true addiction or an alcoholic or overeating or a candy addiction or a coffee addiction? I don't think Jesus wants me addicted to anything I don't think he wants me damaging the Temple of the holy Ghost do you? So ask yourself that question. If God doesn't want you damaging your body. You know I guess it really depends on what does the meaning of Christian really mean. If it means Christ like I have to say I'm not why lie to myself
I honestly hope that you reply to this message but I smoke weed not like every day but in a year I would smoke a totally of 3 blunts only. I personally don't see it as a problem because I'm not putting it before God. I do speak to him. I see other people saying that the holy spirit will speak to you if it's wrong. I use it to not be sober minded but to just clear my head only. Please reply to me I want to know if I'll go to hell because I'm not interested in doing other drugs or drinking it's just weed
Thanks for commenting Gracia. Unfortunately, no one is in a position to tell you if you're going to Hell or not. All we would continue to encourage you to do is praying to Jesus, being in the word and seeking to be more like him each and every day. These rhythms are best sustained in community. Do you have a community of people around you to talk with?
We have all sorts of ways for people all around the world to connect! Would you be able to send our online pastor an email? You can reach him here: Aaron.magnuson@oneandall.church
It's considered an act of arrogance is what we were taught in Christian school. That God gave us this life and we as smokers (I am one) think we can do whatever is pleasurable even if detrimental to His Holy Word's vessel which is what we should be striving to be or already be. Not a sin. But also not an act that glorifies God in anyway. I'd say He doesn't like it, and I guess that should make us keep trying to stop. It could cut short God's plan for us.
I am smoker and if you are not struggling with that addiction or having come out of it you have no business giving out advice js. I've asked God to take it for years and I'm still asking. Right now I really need to overcome far worse.
We’re coming alongside you in prayer Lucida Rose. Thank you for being vulnerable in sharing. We know it’s a journey and we all have a choice to make each day to follow Jesus or not. We pray that despite your addiction with smoking that Jesus meets you where you’re at and gives you his desires to become more like him!
I quit weed it's been almost 9months I barely drink maybe once in a while but if I do it'ds 1 or 2 and I use to go out every week and party but now my biggest thing is smoking cigarettes and I feel it's the hardest to break away from. I've been trying to break it but I just fall for it but I've been smoking since I was in 7th grade I'm almost 30 now. Weed I quit on the spot drinking I can quit on the spot but cigarettes is another story.
hi Rory, im christian and in a loving and amazing gay marriage with my most wonderful partner both serving the Lord, i would like to know what your take is on homosuality within christianity (south Africa here)
Rory, my daughter married a woman. I don't preach to her but you asked so I'll say this. As a Christian I believe the Bible is God's inspired word. If you do too, you would want to do what it says. Look up what the Bible says about homosexuality. I would say the same for those who engage in heterosexual fornication.
I’m a cigar smoker and god appreciates burnt offerings. Cigarettes are a drug you need. Cigars are a love I adore. It’s enjoying tobacco for why it was created. Smoking chemicals isn’t godly. Cigars aren’t chemically altered like cigarettes.
Thanks for weighing in Zane. We can't speak for you but sometimes God asks us to give up something we love for something we love even more (Him). I guess a great question to ask yourself (or anyone to ask themselves about something they love) "if God asked you to give it up, for him would you?"
Some brothers and sisters screw the righteous. I have Multiple Personalities. Ive been "delivered" 20x. Still not delivered! I smoke instead of ending it all. ID love to not smoke but it helps. The voices say unspeakable hellish things. I wont stop smoking just like Ill live and declare the works of the LORD. Should you quit smoking? Im not you. Ask God. I like your mention of we are temples and should behave thusly. We are. My temple is afflicted and the greatest miracle is that im still alive and breathing. God is good.
Thanks for sharing Bob Dillion. We'd love to say a prayer for you: Jesus we lift up our friend Bob to you and ask that in your name you would stop the voices. Let Bob connect with you closer today than yesterday and tomorrow more than today. Thank you for your grace and that Bob is still alive and breathing! We pray this in your holy name, amen!
Thus Says The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY: Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, Nor Effeminate, nor Abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall Inherit the KINGdom of GOD." Period!
Cannabis is in the Bible. Hemp was used as an oil, also if Jesus turned water into wine than I doubt he’s against man using a herb that he created for our use Genesis 1:29, Exodus 30:22-25
It depends on other ways to see the question. If you smoke and you live remotely from others, then you harm only yourself. Yet, if you smoke and your addiction damages health of other people (living in the same building as you, etc), they tell you about it but you don't give a damn, then that's a terrible sin.
I'm a Christian but I'm a smoker. I want to quit but I'm addicted I've prayed and asked for help. Please everyone pray for me
Ask God to convict your heart when you go to buy another pack. I'm not agreeing that's it's ok to smoke, because I did for years! I dipped snuff as well. I had a conviction to stop. I admit, I continued to pick it back up time and time again.. I'm free from it now Glory to God! But you have to take steps. I don't believe it will keep you out of heaven, but it can definitely shorten your life here. And I recognize addiction as a spirit as well. This guy had good advice. Fast cigarettes, and seek the Lord on the matter. Find scripture that speaks to your heart about deliverance. Believe the word and stand on it! Deliverance will come!
Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Matthew 15:11
Praying
I am Christian to and same here, I want to quit so bad but its hard...
Go to a vape shop and talk to them and they will help you drop nicotine. You will feel so much better
Repeat this verse 2 Corinthians 10:5 again and again.This is a really powerful verse my dear brother.Before buying another cigratte,if the thought of buying another pack arises,Repeat it again and again until the thought goes out of your mind.
This is a hard truth.. every smoker knows within himself, it's not a good thing. I was a smoker and I quit because of Jesus
Amen I'm doing that too
This is true I am a smoker and I feel the same way please Lord help me to stop
Same
We all know that we're evil too. I hope!!!😡 Sinners saved by grace. Looking like stiff or stuff shirt won't change that fact.🤓 I'm not advocating sinning, but I love a cigar every now and then. Please don't put a guilt trip on people who would like some to enjoy some of the finer things in this life in this rather short existence.🤔
Jesus is my God, and he's coming soon.😐
I smoked & did high dose of methadone for 25 years but GOD has came too me so many times in those years I lost count & finally I became convinced I was going too Hell but GOD choose to bring me too my knees of extreme fear as I knew demons where controlling me so 2 months ago I Repented & now my Wife & Son go to Church twice a week with me.God has radically changed my life but Im still smoking when I loose focus or stressed & I got the doctor too detox me off that evil methadone & start by cutting dose in half then going down from there until I'm totally free. I believe God is letting me fight some myself too teach me how too be prepared for a lifelong spiritual fight thats raging & only getting worse by the day! May GOD Strengthen You Too in the coming storm against GODS Children !
Smoked for over 40 years. Its a horrible addiction. I pray everyday Jesus will deliver me. I know its bad for your body, and any damage is already done but I pray for the motivation, willpower and strength to quit.
Love the way he explained this. But guys that doesn’t mean be comfortable in smoking it is a process to stop. But take your time guys. I’m in this battle also with weed. God Bless.
Thanks for sharing Redd! We appreciate your vulnerability!
God be with you.
Lorddddd I only want to smoke really bad when I’m bored
I smoke blacks . But I beat myself up about it every time I go to it 🥺

It’s a sin, I smoke cigs, over 10 years now. I feel so guilty after one 🤦🏻♀️. If we’re stressed, do we grab our Bibles or grab our cigs first? We should lean & depend on God fully. I’m tired of asking for forgiveness after I smoke. And what makes it even worse is knowing it’s a sin, STILL doing it, STILL asking for forgiveness afterwards. I gotta do better. I need to surrender completely.
Thank you for sharing with us! We're here for you!
ONE&ALL Can you send up a prayer request for me? I really appreciate it 🙏🏼💗
The pastor is honest to admit all points of view. I used to date a christian fitness instructor that enjoyed smoking. She was always sharing the love of Christ without judgement. I think you should take it easy on yourself. All of us do things we shouldn't. The famous preacher c h spurgeon famously said he would smoke his cigar to the glory of God..
If you’re not getting high it’s not a sin literally in the Bible 🤦
Sabbath well good thing I quit painkillers too 🤷🏻♀️
I smoked ciggaretts for 25 years and by Gods grace I quit 12 months ago
WOOHOOOOOOO!!!! Let's celebrate Edward!
Same here brother! I'll be 12 months in March 2nd. Keep going!!!!
How do quit by god's grace. ..I'm trying everything including prayer and I get to 6 months smoke free and fail. I'm considering hypnotherapy now.
U lucky , I want to stop smoking I want to do it for Jesus😫😫😫
Good job!! :))
I'm a Christian, full of the Holy Spirit, have experiences in dreams/visions from God. And I'm am a smoker off and on for many many years. This is my battle, my temptation. I need prayers to overcome this. Thanks
Praying for you!!

Ive been a smoker since the age 17.
Im 35 now and I was getting really grossed out from cigarettes. And I was always broke because they cost so much.
It came to a point where I knew I couldn't do it and I asked God to help me and he did. I havent had a cigarette in almost a year. Praise the Lord
Thank you for sharing your testimony John! Praise Jesus!

I quit for 8 months and then got back on it and having a really tough time quitting again. It was so easy the last time I stopped, why can't I do it again. It's such a tough thorn of my flesh. I feel so guilty for doing it and yet I do. It makes me feel I don't love GOD enough and that makes me feel even worse and yet I can't stop it this time. I also feel it is driving me nuts and yet I can't stop it. Prayer after prayer after prayer.
Im really tryna get better with Jesus i am also a weed smoker i changed my life a long time ago i pray an hope he will forgive us and understand everyone stay blessed and pray more with sincerity
Thanks for sharing!
Wanted to say one quick thing, smoking tabac is one thing but smoking weed actualy is a sin. I dont know if you are smoking weed right now, and im not judging you. But if you smoke weed you should stop it, because thing that makes us numb and change our thinking is sinful.
I was a weed smoker bro for 13 years and the lord took all my cravings for it away and smoking weed is a sin , it says we shouldn’t be drunkards or foolish and weed certainly makes us foolish and it’s blocks teaching from Jesus hence why it’s called the devils lettuce lol not judging you man I know how hard and addictive the stuff is but trust in the lord and he’ll take it from you, I’m trying to stop smoking going a week without them then always give in feel bad and throw them away but keep up the faith and quit the weed lad praying for you !!

I’m a smoker (marijuana) I really want to stop but honestly I’ve stopped praying about it because I felt like I would just disobey and lie to god. Guys please send a prayer up for me!! I will continue to try and fight the urge
Crystalizer, thank you for sharing openly on here. It's great to recognize that you're not wanting to pray and then "disobey." The reality is, is that all of us are fighting the flesh and the very best way to fight the flesh is to continue to pursue the Spirit of God through prayer. We will be praying for you, but don't stop praying!
I’m not a chain smoker nor a pot head. I just enjoy it sometimes. It seems like everyone who looks this stuff up smokes a blunt everyday. Everytime I light up I pray, and listen to jazz or some type of chill music. I just want to know if it’s a sin or not if I don’t idolize it nor use it irresponsibly
Thanks for your comment! We're going to be working on a follow up video to this!
If you don’t idolize it then it’s not sin😊
Im so glad i watched this. I have heard both sides of the camp as well. Ive come to conclusion that smoking is literally what made me think hard and to seek God. I used to wake up and smoke everyday and now I have such self control that it can be in the room people be smoking and i can say no. I went a full 100 days without smoking and before that i hadnt gone 30. It in fact is in my room now and i havent touched it or taken one puff. I am proud of myself for that and i hope God can love me for who i am and see that i love him and have held his name up during my weakest moments. I hope one day i will be ok again
Thanks for the comment! We're happy to hear that this video prompted you to seek God! 🙌
The part about it being an idol will carry with me on my journey ahead. Thank you for this.
Thanks for this Father Rory. My 8 year addiction to nicotine started in college as a means to help me study (along with mucho coffee) and continued into my first few years as a professional. I knew it was bad and dealing with the "defiling my body/Lord's Creation/Temple" guilt was so difficult. However, the Lord never gave up on me, and with sh*t loads of prayer, meditation, ministerial counseling, and Nicorette, I've had no urge for cigarettes in 14 years. Praise be to God and may the Lord be with ALL of you!
I’ve been struggling with my addiction to smoking. Please God, help me to release this addiction and to lean more fully into you for everything I need. Grant me the self control I need to say no to myself when the thoughts of smoking get overwhelming. Everything is possible through YOU, in Jesus’ name, AMEN 🙏🏽
Amen Wil M! We'd love to say a prayer with you as well!
Jesus we lift up our friend Wil M to you and ask that you would removed the desire to smoke. Free Wil from those strongholds in life and allow deeper connection and freedom with you. We pray this in your healing name, amen!
I was a 2 pack a day smoker for 10 years. I switched to vaping thinking it would help my health and maybe I should just give it up? I love nicotine so much it's ridiculous. Life is hard please pray for me
Praying!
I really like coffee as well as cigarettes and I've attended churches just because they have such great coffee
Nobody can make it without any sin, that's impossible! But we should try everyday to get rid of our sin!!!
True. We are born sinners.
Please pray for me to be delivered from the addiction of smoking. I've smoked cigarettes since I was 17 and I'm 51 now. I have quit many many times in my life only to be drawn back into it when really bad things happen. I was free for two years and started smoking again in 2016 when my mother and my 16 year old, only son died. He died in my arms from a sudden asthma attack... turning to smoking was my coping mechanism. Anyway, I would really appreciate the prayers. - Thanks.
How are you making out with the smoking? I’m so very sorry for your losses
@@margiemuoio4813 thank you for asking. I stopped smoking cigarettes Jan of 2021 but I am still addicted to nicotine. I vape as little as possible. I am praying the Lord will deliver me by September. God Bless you.
Now a slave has no permanent place in the family but a son belongs to it forever.
What about smokers who made a vow to God ?
( When you make a vow to God do not delay in fulfilling it.he has no pleasure in fools fulfil your vow. )
Are there any fools in heaven, the answer is no so quit smoking cigarettes, Jesus says he came to set the captives free, everytime you light up a cigarette say out loud i am free from the addiction of smoking cigarettes, eventually you will be set free , dont keep thinking or saying negative thoughts, everything is possible for him who believes.
Glory to God.
I actually clicked this link because I thought it was about marijuana.
So I asked myself the same 3 questions.
1. The Bible says God created every seed bearing plant, and it was good.
2. I've also seen opinions on both sides, condemning it, and saying it's okay.
3. Lastly, it is beneficial for me. My doctor prescribed me 2 Xanax bars per day for a chemical imbalance. With marijuana I have no need for Pharmaceuticals.
Any thoughts or opinions on this topic?
This may be a new video we have to create! Thank you for weighing in!
@@oneandallchurch - No problem, I'd appreciate the opinions about this subject...
@@RustyNail999 @ONE&ALL - same!
In my opinion, God created everything seed verse is pre fall. It's hard for me to believe it was needed in the garden of Eden. I simply refer to my Church elders on the topic. No.
I've had to admit, yes it is addictive and I was addicted. But I'm still on the fence about it. My brain fog clears up and I preach on good doctrine so eloquently and relentlessly when high on it. I'll remember the Bible verses I need; think about them the right way. But as time goes on, and days go by, eventually, I become lazy, can't get up as early, and my lust for women grows significantly using marijuana. My addictive personality is too hard to control on my own.
I want to say... 'only every once in a long while' but I can't recommend that to anyone. We're commanded to be sober minded. I think that applies to pot as well. When Judgement day comes, I don't want to have to explain myself or try to defend it. IF it's good for a Christian and we don't know about it. Whatever, life's a vapor anyways. But if it's bad...
Thank God for the cross!
Lord Please forgive me for all my sins I acknowledge you Heavenly Father I want to get closer and lay in your arms lord god help me with my ways and addictions lord In the name of Jesus I pray amen 🙏🏾
Thank you so much man AMEN Brother!❤️ May God bless you and all of you!❤️
Thanks for the encouragement Ethan!
My observation while attending church has brought me to the conclusion that there are large number of people who think it’s fine to live in sin. Presumptuous sins . Sexual sin. I chose to not live a life of sinning. I have free will to not go on sinning.
So does that mean you never, had a bad thought toward your neighbors, never passed judgment on anyone? Yes these sins are not seen by the world, but God sees you... So think twice before saying you're sin free. Because we need to repent daily, but if you are without sin cast the first stone.
Also, we should strive to live a sin free life... We shouldn't sin with the intention of sinning. But if you speak badly about someone, that's a sin towards God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Because you don't know the journey God is taking them on and also the outcome of their testimony will be an encouragement for the nations
Imma be honest with you I'm Christian I've been smoking since I was 17 before I became Christian and I did not stop I stopped for a month and then I stopped for 5 months then I went to this Therapy Program and it's a lot of people smoking and all that smoke when I'm me that made me wanted to smoke again and my pastor is saying to everybody in the church those that smoke will go to hell please pray for me I don't want to go to hell I want to be pray I'm a good person I'm a good Christian I need a prayer please anybody that has a heart please pray for me God bless you all😢😢😭
We're sorry to hear that you've been told that! We will also happily pray for you!
@@oneandallchurch please pray for me pastor please 😭😭😭
You won't go to hell for smoking don't be silly .
Listen if you believe Jesus to be Ur salvation and he died o the cross for you and ui repent your sins . And you try to change then know that God knows you feel bad. Nd trying to change.
Listen I been smoking since I was 9 heavy smoker weed from when I was mm 15 I have up for 9 years started again but now it's been 3 months no weed .and I cut down my smoking to about 3 to 8 max a day.
I went 5 days without then I smoked cos the stress of the pandemic every other day I smoke . But considering I was smoking so much I couldn't breath I've cut down a lot . And eventually I will stop . I couldn't go ten or less minutes with out one b4 let alone 5 days or two days .
Eventually I will stop. You can't quit just like that it's all about will power see.
God knows we are sinners right he knows what we gonna do b4 we do it. Yeah I feel ashamed a failure dirty ect. I even hid in the shed thinking god couldn't see me . I make promises to him that I stop them stress gets the better of my sinful nature and I smoke.
But I ask God to forgive me and my false promises . But deep down he knows whats in my heart and he knows I feel bad for reviving him and mainly myself.
Yeah we shouldn't smoke but then we shouldn't do a lot things. Jesus came down he she'd blood for our sins did he not right . Well this is the reason you must trust in god's good nature and know he is a loving and merciful God.
He knows what's in your heart that's all that matters really. I used say if I die cos I smoke it gets me to god quicker.
But now I think if I cut down and eventually stil it gives me longer to serve out the purpose god has already planned for me .
You can't go cold turkey trust me I TRYED didn't work . It's all about changing habbits no amount of prayer will help u if u don't firstly help urself. God wants to help us but he also wants us to help ourselfs first. You will get there forgive yourself and ask god to guide you along the right path ok.
He's listening he hears you he knows you.
Remember that no matter how big the giant Infront of you is its never as big as the giant god that is behind you watching your back.
Stop stressing and ask Jesus to help you break away from addiction.
Any addiction is hard. I was addicted to eating ice cubes I used eat 4 bags a day cut right done now I eat none.
I know strange addition hei . I have no thyroid. Low iron . But now I eat better my iron levels up. I got addicted to the crunch and the brain freeze.
Uts better than a crack addiction I used say but it still cased me damage .
U do it I know you can and u will I believe that God knows you want to stop same with me and in time it will happen .
Remember God works in his time. Not oursm if u ask u shall receive . But in god's time. Be patient and Carry on praying.

If your under bondage and it's your God it is a sin
Everyone is to seek out there own salvation with fear and trembling. If they have a relationship with Christ, he will show them what's pleasing and not. I agree with bondage as sin. Addiction is a spirit! But everyone has to work their own thing out with God...
Amen sister! When I quit smoking the first impression in my mind was that I can’t be serving two Gods.
It doesnt mean its our god... U cant say it like that
Very poorly worded I thumbs down this comment
Another angle is - if the thing that you desire makes you a slave to it, then it's ruling your body and not your body ruling it. Smoking addiction is the same, it makes your body want more of it so eventually every smoker is a slave to it. So make choices but be wise enough to control it your way.
I believe our body is temple of god. I do smoke weed and cigs but In my heart Iknow it’s not right. And that’s god telling me it isn’t. But as long as you have the desire to quit Jesus will help you threw it 🙏🏽
I use to love smoking then I fell I love with Jesus and I know I’m saved regardless but quitting has been challenging but the goal remains the same I pray others out there chose to not smoke even if just once because it’s very addictive and hard to get off weed is addictive even after the physical cravings are gone you still want it because it is something that altered your mind...it becomes a crutch
Thank you for sharing your testimony Shanti!
Ecclesiastes 7:17 Be not overly wicked, neither be a fool. Why should you die before your time?
Great verse! We hope everyone finds eternal life through Jesus!

Everyone talks about Smoking, being a Sin, but no one talks about Gluttony, and there are so many overweight "Christians" out there. Now, I realize that some people are overweight, because of Medical Conditions, but I'm talking about those that are overweight, because they overeat. I'm not trying to justify Smoking, but the Bible doesn't specifically say that Smoking is a Sin, but it does say that overeating is!
you are correct sister
to me it's simple if something is consuming your life then stop. But just like how it talks about being able to drink with a joyful heart if u wanna smoke a doobie then do it in the same way just dont let anything become an idol. As in the bible it says something like a man who is led astray by something is not a wise man.
God loves you brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. I watched my earthly father smoke for the last 20 years or so of his life and he died gasping for breath. God does not want you to smoke it will lead to death. You can overcome if you give Jesus your life. I was set free from smoking early in my walk with God. Feel free to contact me for prayer and suggestions. I have not until recently become an overcomer in Jesus and I had to give up trying to live for myself and give this whole life to God. Trust me God is worth it. Revelation 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the Tree of Life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.’
Thanks for commenting Christopher! We appreciate your story!
Please pray for me to quit. I know in my heart is is a sin that is keeping me from drawing closer to christ
@@oneandallchurch that man christtopher spoke the truth
our bodies are the temple of God, by smoking it is harming the temple, i smoked for years, smoked weed for years, opiates etc......i have recently made the choice to quit all of these things, been struggling but i can do it with Jesus by my side, so can you whoever you are who is dealing with this!
Hi I’m a baby Christian i found Christ and I really want to cry because I keep having doubts about my faith I know it’s normal but It’s tiring if there’s anyone I can talk to about this please let me know!

If I’m a saved Christian but I smoke weed, drink, and addicted to nicotine, will I still be able to inherit the kingdom of god?
The short answer is yes Jeffrey! Nothing can disqualify you from the Kingdom of God but you must allow Jesus to be Lord of your life not the things you're addicted to or anything else. Those things you've listed above may be true but is your heart in a posture of repentance and becoming more like Jesus? That's the only question that matters!
ONE&ALL they aren’t my lord, god is. Recently I’ve been reading the Bible more , praying more, and getting closer to the lord, but I wasn’t sure if I had to stop those or not to go to heaven.
That's amazing to hear Jeffrey! What we'd say is that as you get closer to Jesus and His Spirit's leading in your life, he will tell you if you have to give those things up or not. Does that make sense?
ONE&ALL yeah it does. But what if I don’t give it up? Will I still go to heaven?
@@jeffreyeyler7035 I don't know what specific answers you are seeking but Jesus Christ says that those who love Him obey and do the will of His Father so if God tells you to give something up and you don't truly strive to do so you can't fake that you're being obedient when you're not and Scripture would say that the true love of Christ and of God is not in you.
I am a smoker and I've been a smoker for 22 years now. I'm only 33 years old. It's horrible. I am addicted and I am striving to obey God and to give it up. Look within your heart and ask yourself are you striving to be obedient or not? Because we're not going to go to hell for what we're doing but we all could go for our lack of love for God which is demonstrated through our obedience. the same way that many would say if you went out and did every single thing your parents told you not to when you were a kid then you were showing no love and no respect for your parents because you were constantly disobeying them.
Can u do a message on marijuana ? I'm very curious and would like to know if it's a sin that you so much keep spreading the word of god bro
I believe that what he said in this video applies to both cigarettes and marijuana because they have a very similar effect. What would make it a sin is if you can't go without it and are idolizing it over God. Otherwise it could be used with discipline for beneficial reasons such as helping with sleep. You do not want it to take over God's position in your life though where you need it to cope rather than needing God to deal with your anxieties and stress. Seek what the Lord is telling you to do based on how and why you use it.
Medicinal purposes only, prescription given by a doctor and you knowing for a fact that you need it....if you're doubting then maybe you should check your heart... God bless.
Smoking weed numbs the mind we are to stay sober minded

My question is it wrong to enjoy a cigar now and then ? I don't drink but I still enjoy a cigar now and then.
Great question! What do you feel the Spirit is prompting you?
I cant stop smoking weed ive been smoking it since i was 16 after my mom died and i have depeneded on it ever since im 20 now and i do love teaching gods word but when pepole hear i smoke weed it makes me feel like they wont listen to my message some one semd me some advice plz i used to smoke meth amd tobacco but ive been clean from those since November 2019
Thanks for sharing Stephen. It takes a lot to be vulnerable in this way. We will continue to pray alongside you.
Do you feel the Spirit is prompting you to give up weed?
I don’t think I’m ever gonna quit I love it to much
Thanks for sharing Brayden! One of the things we talk about around ONE&ALL is giving up something we love for something we love even more. Hopefully, if you're a follower of Jesus, that's Jesus.
Could it be possible that some people do it to completely focus on God and Jesus? If weed makes you feel happy you should use the good energy you get from weed and transition into understanding your standing with God or just thinking and focusing on God because he loves us.✝️🙏🏽❤️
This is a tough question to answer DashRendarGaming! I think that each person must discern what the Spirit of God is leading them to do. The goal for all of us is to become more and more like Jesus and let him be the Lord of our lives sacrificing everything in our life to gain eternal life with him. So I would challenge you and ask, what is God calling you to do as it pertains to weed.
Number one question is: Why do I like this guy right off the bat? :-)
But seriously, I am a Christian. I have been a professing Christian all of my life but only a Christian who actually bears fruit for about five to six months -- when 6 months ago I received the Holy spirit.
Now, I have been a smoker since I was 12 years old and I am now 33 years old. I have been smoking for well over half of my life - straight. I've never quit except during both of my pregnancies. I didn't quit right away in my first pregnancy as I had already been smoking for 17 years. In my second pregnancy, I did not even find out that I was pregnant until I was six months and I'd already began smoking again. My first daughter was a year 1/2 old. So, I did not quit during my second pregnancy until I was already six months when I found out I was pregnant with her and she came the following month. All glory to God that she is a beautiful, intelligent and healthy baby girl to this day. But, suffice it all to say, that I've been smoking ever since I was old enough to make a reasonable decision and even then, I made a very unreasonable one.
Smoking is a horrible habit that I wish I never started. Both of my parents were smokers, which is relevant to the case. I am not only now praying for deliverance but actually working toward quitting but I am not doing so with the fervor that I have worked towards other things. In fact, as soon as I received the Holy Spirit many sins like profanity, fornication, hate, unjustified anger, etc., didn't require much work from me at all and fell right off of me within a month or so only by the power of the Holy Spirit.
This smoking thing, I'm having trouble with and I love the Lord and I know that smoking is not pleasing to Him regardless if it is a sin or not. I know that smoking is not healthy for me. If I've realized anything about God it is that He is love, gives love and He loves life -- which is what He gave us all. He wants us to treat our lives as if they mean something. When I smoke, knowing that it could eventually lead to my death, I am inadvertently treating my life as if it is worthless. I'm not beating myself up about it but I am being honest with myself to promote change within. I know that God can deliver me from smoking and since He has not done so as of yet I have come to believe that He is using it -- like everything else in my life -- as a Testimony. It will be an ultimate Testimony when I do quit and it will be all for His Glory and by His Grace. Until then, I will continue striving to do what is pleasing to God and since smoking is not that, I will continue to strive to smoke less and less. I merely wanted to offer my experience on the matter. Sorry, if this is too long for some of you who are not avid readers.
I quit smoking 28 years ago. I just picked it up again recently after being around my husband who smokes a very pure tobacco. The smoke from his cigarettes never bothered me...only everyone else's. It's probably because most people's smoke is full of poisonous chemicals. Now I wish I'd started smoking THIS tobacco years ago to relieve chronic pain from spinal issues and diagnosed am anxiety. No prescription medications have been able to do this for me. I have no desire to smoke tge brands that are full of chemicals. That stuff bothers me. God gave us plants and herbs for our use, but it's JOW and WHY we use them thst matters. So; why is it, no one seems to have a problem with someone running to the pharmacy for their pain and anxiety to get a pill that has a mike long list of side affects worse than the symptom they're taking it for? That's not a sin...but smoking even a pure tobacco cigarettes, that has znti-parasitic and anti-inflammitiry properties is a sin? We thank God for the food We shove on our mouths, but we can't thank him for a plant thst relieves our pain?
There’s one thing that Jesus actually talked about: rich people not entering the Kingdom of Heaven. But Chstians don’t seem to worry about that.
When we accepted Christ as our Lord and personal saviour, we became new creation, the old has gone and the new life has come. And how come we can still smoke. We are also called to be the salt and light of this world, but what testimony do we have when we our lives dont make difference at all to the unbelievers.
I’m a smoker. If I am reading the Bible and smoke a cig I just a feeling like I’m doing something wrong and feel dirty. I feel that’s God talking to me through my conscience. Also I believe doing anything that’s bad or unhealthy for your temple is a sin. You are not supposed to hurt the body God gave us. It has kept me from bonding with Jesus like I want to. I’ll avoid reading the Bible cause I’d rather smoke. I won’t do both together. I have to quit... God tells me to. Also the Bible does mention smoking. There is a verse that says they drank, they smoked, they committed Adultery
Kasey Marlowe What verse is that??? Do you remember? Thank you.
Where is that verse on smoking
Amen thanks for your comments,I thought I was alone on this I'm a smoker but I don't like smoking while reading the Bible and I think it's wrong I find it a difficult to stop but God bless u🙏
Kasey Marlowe - Iam a Christian, I do smoke ( about 1/2 pack per day), but I cannot read the Bible if I’m smoking, I feel guilty for some reason & I know why because our body is the temple of Christ - Iam addicted having smoked since I was 17, but I know if I give this addiction to Jesus He will help me quit this nasty habit! On one hand I enjoy smoking, but on the other hand, I’m disgusted. I know my smoking isn’t going to keep me out of Heaven, I love the Lord with all my heart & soul, I know He loves me in spite of my sins which I have repented & He has forgiven me!!!!❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️💙💚💜💙💚🌸💖💥💗💖💥❤️💚💙🙏🙏🙏
You must be thinking of Rebekah, the wife of Isaac. She lit off her camel when she saw Isaac....no other verse mentions smoking
What about soldiers killing enemies? Is it a sin?
Just curious.
Me too
@First Prep Soldiers don't fight only terrorist. They fight and kill other soldiers just like them. I heard like forgive your enemy not kill them.
@First Prep I'm a Christian too but just a confusing one😁
What about the Body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit?
He talked about that in the video, that specific scripture is talking about sexual sin but it also says in Matthew 15:11 and other verses in Matthew that "it is not what enters the mouth that defiles the body but what comes out of your mouth" , saying that its the things you say that defiles your body and makes you unclean.
Dylan Hamm ❤️
15thsquadron01 that is referring to Sexuality and keeping yourself pure unless you’re married
What did they do inside the temple?
What if I hit the oil thc pen let’s say 2 or 3 times just to get a mellow buzz to help my body with the physical stress that living in this evil world bring us. I’ve noticed when I’m mellow I look for the Lord and the Truth a lot more. In your guys opinions could it still be considered a sin in The Creator’s point of view ?
Jose, thank you so much for your question and desire to seek others in your faith journey. We would say that it's great you're seeking the Lord and truth but fundamentally you've associated the "oil thc pen" as a way to rid stress but the ridding of stress comes from the Prince of Peace, who is Jesus. It's less about your actions and more about the reason behind your actions. If you're looking to seek the Lord and experience His peace, pray for that and be in the Bible daily.
I use medical marijuana for my PTSD and I never do it to "party" it keeps me normal and he gave us every fruit and seed bearing tree, and I never party , I was smoking cigarettes too but now it's just vaping ...one step at a time
Thank you for sharing Flat Logic In Heaven. We're each on a journey trying to look more and more like Jesus each and every day!
Amen here’s the thing sickness can be healed and we all have a personal doctor Jesus Christ he wasn’t scarified for nothing he died so we can walk in righteousness I Understand you, but Jesus can keep you before smoking weed
Thank you for 'keeping it real' and for saying that excellent Christians may just smoke...Albeit against health advice
Being real, authentic and transparent in these conversations is so important!
@@oneandallchurch Absolutely correct 👍
As a Christian, whether you smoke or not is a personal choice. To your own master you fall or stand. Is that in Corinthians or is it in Galatians ?
If you as a Christian can smoke with a clear conscience, I really have no say so. That's between you and The Lord.
Another argument I've heard was : can I smoke marijuana ? Those who defend it say, it's a plant. God made the plant; so it can't be bad.
If you smoke and it bothers your conscience, that's the Holy Spirit dealing with you on a personal level.
And no, you won't go to hell if you smoke.
Thank you for clearing this up 🙏🙏
What I think, smoking is permissible but not beneficial, I agree with him. Smoking isn't a sin either but i think as long as something doesn't make you drift from God, then it's feasible to participate in that thing.
True! XenoPetra, do you also feel like it's worth asking the question, "does this bring me closer to God?" when evaluating an action you're performing.
The way I'm getting off cigs, is ok for me, but won't work with heavily addicted people.
I just refuse to smoke until 5.00pm. After that, I will probably have one after supper, and then one a bit later, but for some people, it's VERY DIFFICULT to go that long without cigarettes, but it is VERY rewarding when you do.
Question! How about smoking herbs that are healthy? Like smoking tea leafs for pain relief/calming or for natural herbal healing?? I’m going holistic and some ways herbs are taken for consumption is smoking it! Thoughts??
So is it a sin or not? The video says it’s not but some comments are saying it is
Thanks for asking Jackson. The pursuit of Jesus is the most important thing we can do. If this video has a takeaway, it's about pursuing Jesus and listening to the Holy Spirit that indwells us.
That answer may feel cryptic but it's actually not about smoking or not smoking. It's about the posture of our hearts and if we're becoming more like Jesus. In this podcast episode, Pastor Jeff talks about "trajectory" in S1 Ep13 of the ONE&ALL Podcast which can be found here: oneandall.church/podcasts
What do you think about Marijuana for medical reasons? Are edibles the better option?
Well. My favourite people - the homeless and disenfranchised do smoke. And those are the people Jesus walked with.
Thank you
Name one smoker in your life that doesn't say curse words. They all have a defiled tongue. It's the devil. It addictive, destructive and sinful. That's why a person must truly be delivered and set free to be able to quit smoking.
Extremely irrelevant and judgemental of you to say that.
@@vincaso no names? Lol
A former girlfriend of mine was a fitness instructor, christian and smoker. She always shared the love of Christ without judgement and I never heard her curse once during our dating.
@@darrenvmatthews I bet she cusses now if she never gave up the smoking. God may have been dealing with her back then. Like you said, "while we were dating"
I'm not sure why you equate smoking with cursing. There is no necessary correlation between the two. I don't believe she will be cursing now as she never did curse on this earthand she is in heaven now. She died in a car accident leaving her devoted husband and loving friends very sad
Asking for prayer to overcome this. Thank you....
Lol short answer yes, you can absolutely be a smoker and be a christian. No it doesn't glorify god, but at the same time smoking is no different than any other sin. Sin is sin. Now, you can overcome it with alot of work and faith and help of Christ. The wise thing to do is quit. But God chastises us for things we do that we aren't supposed to or shouldn't do. Great message brother. Very encouraging video.
Katlin, we're so glad you've been encouraged! When we pursue Jesus, he overcomes our strongholds and additctions!
Is it okay to smoke marijuana for pain relief? I have had much pain in my lower back, and horrible pain in my private part area for the past 16 years, and nothing else helps. I have prayed so much and cried out to God and been seeking God, and years go by and the pain is crippling. The whole game changes when you're in constant pain every day of your life. It's mentally and emotionally exhausting. Going through it day after day after day for many years. I need Jesus to heal the blood circulation and heal this blood engorgement which is the cause of this pain.
When there is a grey area, it's so important to pray. We're sorry for the pain you're in and we're glad you're turning to prayer both for healing and wisdom regarding marijuana. Continue relying on him!
Hey Ptr. Smoking for sure is a sin. It's disobedient to God. Paul said, don't let anything master you. Can we glorify God through smoking?
i use to smoke i quit over 30 years
What if you smoke for fun? I’m not addicted, but when I’m hanging out with friends I like to smoke. I don’t do it often, so I don’t feel like I’m sinning.
Hi Brock if you identify as a Christian I'd say it's a sin, would Jesus or God smoke? the answer is no (I know you could say that for a lot of things) but we are specifically mentioning smoking !
Pray for my father also plz he is addicted and he also preach gospel
@Tim just Tim smoking cegaret
@Tim just Tim I don't know how to explain him it but wanna make him healthy soon , plz any suggestions
I personally think that you can smoke cigars unless your not addicted

Thank you for telling this during these times 🙏❤️
Thank you for commenting John!
It’s very hard in today’s society. Men is not perfect, only God
True Ray! Man is not perfect but we are still called to following Jesus and becoming more like him every day!
i heard Derek Prince say that addictions come from frustration and demons cause addictions and there are different demons. We are to shine not be dull and blend in. God said we are to be like a city on a hill. If we do all that the world does who could tell the differnce?? We are a peculiar people. How are we peculiar if we do drugs and drink and party?? No more excuses. My brother died and he suffered for years under addiction of drugs and alcohol and one of the drugs was marijuana Don't let people think it's ok!! Marijuana is a gateway drug. Be sober minded.
Don’t be mastered by anything! Is it expedient, meaning - does it free your feet? In my experience with nicotine from vape, I’ve gotten addicted within a few hours of starting it, and it didn’t free my feet. Also, it will make your mind different from sobriety for a short time for some people at first - and this is sinful.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts macumus! It's important to realize that we are all on our own journey. Of course we're called to sobriety and a sound mind but that can look different for each of us. This is why being in tune with the Holy Spirit is so vital!
Be careful about telling people that smoking won't send them to hell. The bible says we are not to defile the temple of the Holy Ghost which is our body.You said it is only to do with sexual sin and gave no scripture but made a point about backing up with scripture. So here is some scripture.Romans 8:13-14 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live, for as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the Sons of God.
Galatians 5:19-2- Now the works of the flesh are manifest which are these: Adultery, fornication; uncleanness, lascivioiusness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of the which I tell you before, as I have told you in the past, that they which do such things, shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (That's serious, so we tell you in love, be careful what you teach and stick with the bible. Uncleanness, well what do you think that can be besides sexual. If we put poison in our bodies where the Holy Spirit resides and God says to not defile it or we shall die meaning go to hell, then we had better know that smoking is a sin) Here is more scripture.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, are ye not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your Spirit which are Gods.
1 Corinthians 3:16-18 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.Let no man decieve himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. (So what do you want to be?) People should at least be trying to stop and keep asking God to help them as we have. God will eventually take it away if we persist. We can pray for one another too for this stronghold to be pulled down. We may not be perfect, but we must strive to be holy, or we are in danger of burning forever. So we tell you in love and anyone reading this. Gods word is true. Always check the scriptures before you believe anyone. Repent brother for not sharing the whole truth. You may not smoke but your saying it's not a sin could cause others to go to hell and you will be held responsible.
Love Mitch and Mary.
Thanks for sharing!
i agree smoking is a sin, simply because others are definitely harmed.
So, if you eat bad food, you're going to Hell too. Got it!
@Rosee So, CS Lewis is in Hell. Got it!

It can be not permissible, but very beneficial.
I’m glad to know this I was reborn a while ago and I usually smoke maybe once every week I can go a month without but if me and a guy are talking will share a smoke over it
Stop feeding your flesh with cigarettes & feed your spirit more & more than you feed your weak flesh. When you feed your flesh & let your spirit go hungry your flesh gets stronger & overpowers your spirit that desperately needs spiritual food ; reading the Bible, Praying more than just 5 min a day, being around other people who Love the Lord, & going too Church every chance you get fuels your spirit which gives you power over your weak flesh we all possess. The harder we try after falling down the sooner God will realize we are serious about quitting sin i.e. " smoking" then bless us with the power of Holy Spirit too live a Rightious Life!
Thanks for the reminder to feed the Spirit and not the flesh. Whether smoking is sin or not, we know that our flesh is weak but the Spirit that lives within us is strong!
Mark 7 :15 it’s not what goes into the body that defiles it it’s what come from the heart that defiles it .
😕😕😕 I'm sure you can be Christians and do all kinds of things but does God want us to damage the Temple of the holy ghost? I have a true addiction myself and I really do have a passion and love for Jesus Christ but does he want me smoking or a true addiction or an alcoholic or overeating or a candy addiction or a coffee addiction? I don't think Jesus wants me addicted to anything I don't think he wants me damaging the Temple of the holy Ghost do you? So ask yourself that question. If God doesn't want you damaging your body. You know I guess it really depends on what does the meaning of Christian really mean. If it means Christ like I have to say I'm not why lie to myself
Thanks for contributing to the conversation Davis!
I honestly hope that you reply to this message but I smoke weed not like every day but in a year I would smoke a totally of 3 blunts only. I personally don't see it as a problem because I'm not putting it before God. I do speak to him. I see other people saying that the holy spirit will speak to you if it's wrong. I use it to not be sober minded but to just clear my head only. Please reply to me I want to know if I'll go to hell because I'm not interested in doing other drugs or drinking it's just weed
Thanks for commenting Gracia. Unfortunately, no one is in a position to tell you if you're going to Hell or not. All we would continue to encourage you to do is praying to Jesus, being in the word and seeking to be more like him each and every day. These rhythms are best sustained in community. Do you have a community of people around you to talk with?

It's considered an act of arrogance is what we were taught in Christian school. That God gave us this life and we as smokers (I am one) think we can do whatever is pleasurable even if detrimental to His Holy Word's vessel which is what we should be striving to be or already be. Not a sin. But also not an act that glorifies God in anyway. I'd say He doesn't like it, and I guess that should make us keep trying to stop. It could cut short God's plan for us.
what about weed i smoke delta 8 and hhc
Delta 8 is fake weed …
I am smoker and if you are not struggling with that addiction or having come out of it you have no business giving out advice js. I've asked God to take it for years and I'm still asking. Right now I really need to overcome far worse.
We’re coming alongside you in prayer Lucida Rose. Thank you for being vulnerable in sharing. We know it’s a journey and we all have a choice to make each day to follow Jesus or not. We pray that despite your addiction with smoking that Jesus meets you where you’re at and gives you his desires to become more like him!
I quit weed it's been almost 9months I barely drink maybe once in a while but if I do it'ds 1 or 2 and I use to go out every week and party but now my biggest thing is smoking cigarettes and I feel it's the hardest to break away from. I've been trying to break it but I just fall for it but I've been smoking since I was in 7th grade I'm almost 30 now. Weed I quit on the spot drinking I can quit on the spot but cigarettes is another story.
I have a similar story. Stopped weed and drinking but vaping is my struggle. Any updates?
hi Rory, im christian and in a loving and amazing gay marriage with my most wonderful partner both serving the Lord, i would like to know what your take is on homosuality within christianity (south Africa here)
Thank you so much for commenting! We'd love to connect you with Rory! Would you be able to email us at media@oneandall.church?
Rory, my daughter married a woman. I don't preach to her but you asked so I'll say this. As a Christian I believe the Bible is God's inspired word. If you do too, you would want to do what it says. Look up what the Bible says about homosexuality. I would say the same for those who engage in heterosexual fornication.
I’m a cigar smoker and god appreciates burnt offerings. Cigarettes are a drug you need. Cigars are a love I adore. It’s enjoying tobacco for why it was created. Smoking chemicals isn’t godly. Cigars aren’t chemically altered like cigarettes.
Thanks for weighing in Zane. We can't speak for you but sometimes God asks us to give up something we love for something we love even more (Him). I guess a great question to ask yourself (or anyone to ask themselves about something they love) "if God asked you to give it up, for him would you?"
Some brothers and sisters screw the righteous. I have Multiple Personalities. Ive been "delivered" 20x. Still not delivered! I smoke instead of ending it all. ID love to not smoke but it helps. The voices say unspeakable hellish things. I wont stop smoking just like Ill live and declare the works of the LORD. Should you quit smoking? Im not you. Ask God. I like your mention of we are temples and should behave thusly. We are. My temple is afflicted and the greatest miracle is that im still alive and breathing. God is good.
Thanks for sharing Bob Dillion. We'd love to say a prayer for you:
Jesus we lift up our friend Bob to you and ask that in your name you would stop the voices. Let Bob connect with you closer today than yesterday and tomorrow more than today. Thank you for your grace and that Bob is still alive and breathing! We pray this in your holy name, amen!
Pray for me to be able to quit. It's a struggle - but I know I should, for Jesus.
I wish he would give us a clear sign, regardless I feel helpless with the lack of will power I have to stop this bs.
Thus Says The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY: Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, Nor Effeminate, nor Abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall Inherit the KINGdom of GOD." Period!
Thank you so much I appreciate it .
Glad you're here!
ONE&ALL no problem love learning more about e bible
Cannabis is in the Bible. Hemp was used as an oil, also if Jesus turned water into wine than I doubt he’s against man using a herb that he created for our use Genesis 1:29, Exodus 30:22-25
Its not a sin what enters your mouth, But what it comes out of it.
What about vaping
Same thing.
It depends on other ways to see the question. If you smoke and you live remotely from others, then you harm only yourself. Yet, if you smoke and your addiction damages health of other people (living in the same building as you, etc), they tell you about it but you don't give a damn, then that's a terrible sin.
Smoking destroys temple of God! Our body is the temple of God!
