For every reason you drink or smoke, God is the better solution.
I like this quote🔥🤞
Then why do some Christians take antidepressants?? I'd much rather smoke weed than take that poisonous pill. God is the one that gave me the plant to use for my good health, He said so in the book of Genesis cannabis is a seed bearing fruit that bears seed after its own kind.
Literally
If you cut your arm open, God isn’t going to heal the wound for you, he gave you a mind and hands so you can do it yourself. Just like with marijuana, whatever purpose someone would need it for, is why God put it there. The only thing God specifically mentioned was alcohol, and not to use it to drunkenness. Sober is used once in the Bible and the word sober itself refers to alcohol alone as well. When someone is in visceral pain, we give them what is essentially medicinal heroin. Everything has a purpose, and if something means nothing to you doesn’t mean it means nothing to someone else.
This is the best counter response to this question/issues I’ve ever heard.
20 year smoker here,I didn’t want to quit smoking weed because I loved it. I was like George. Tried to justify it,but God knew how I really felt so I admitted it to God that I didn’t quit because I loved it (Flesh) I knew I had a calling. So I wanted to,but never could. Finally just came to the conclusion of I wouldn’t get sent to hell for smoking,but during judgement day,what if…God asks you,out of all those blunts how many of them led someone to me? Every time you lit up how many times did it glorify my name? I would be left speechless. I’m a barber and I do my best to speak Jesus to all my clients,and you know if they came in and seen me smoking and I tried to share the good news how much of what I said would be void or fall on deaf ears…that’s not what I want,we all are called to share the gospel…
Finally I asked God take it from me,I can’t do it alone. I want to be in your will. Not mine. By the grace of God I am 6 months clean TODAY.
That’s incredible my friend! I’m in the middle of this challenge now. I know the lord is helping me get away from it. The decision is mine and for my trust in him to take!
That's beautiful please pray for me bro to overcome weed I'm in recovery but I smoke every day it's helped me I feel but I do want to be free
All have sin and fallen short of the glory of God.. period.. remember we're no longer under the law, we're now under grace 🙏
Amen
@@opinionhated3104 we are yea but we still have responsibilities to fight sin in our lives an not say oh well we're gonna sin anyway may as well sin in ways that makes us happy or feel great
“Be self controlled and sober-minded” Thank you God! Praise the Lord Jesus!
This mean being closed to God. Sober minded is being demonic less. Once you cut out demon in your mind in whatever you do in life you are self controlled. AMEN!!
Amen. This guy needs to read his Bible. It will clear things up for him. Your body is supposed to be a temple for God my brother.
@@justinmcnaughton3016it actually says in the Bible we can use it for medical reasons only
@@Caliknowsbestfrofficial1946 Please state the scripture where it says this?
The Bible says Jesus drank wine and there will be wine at the marriage supper of the Lamb. Being a drunkard is something different.
I loved smoking. But I noticed that when I smoke, I start desiring things that are not from God or of God. It makes me want to indulge in things that I know are not good for me like over eating (gluttony). Then I thought about 1 Peter 5:8 that tells us to "be sober minded." Even if I'm just smoking and laughing, and just enjoying myself, I am not sober minded when I'm high. The Lord has really been dealing with my heart. Eternity is on the other side of our last breath. 60-80 years of life seems long, but compared to eternity, it's a vapor in the wind. This life is temporary. Don't waste it. In all things, glorify God. Do I miss it sometimes? Yes. But even those moments are temporary. There is nothing I can get from weed, that I can't get from God. He.is. enough. My flesh is always going to crave the things of this world because it is also of this world. That's why when we die, we don't take these bodies with us. We are called to live by the Spirit. Not our flesh. Now, when my flesh is thirsty for sin and I'm tempted to replace God and all his fullness, graciousness, and love with the desires of my flesh, I audibly remind myself that the flesh will always crave sin, but the Holy Spirit requires righteousness. We have to stop teetering between sin and righteousness.
A moment of appreciation for this comment section, this is truly great.
Amen Thx for sharing Beautiful Sis I will show my man this Ima female by the way lo
Lol I ment
Jesus drank wine
Thank you for your comment ❤ God bless you 🫶🏻
The fact he started out by saying “this is a demon I’ve been trying to fight for a long time” answers your question right there.. getting high is something that feeds your fleshly desires and if you’re truly led by the Holy Spirit you wouldn’t smoke, don’t be deceived by sin.
When you feel bad about doing something It’s called conviction from the Holy Spirit
I don't like your comment 😒 but you're speaking facts. Also if someone has to ask if its a sin, it's usually a sin.
"He" is flawed and imperfect, so the fact that he calls it his demons makes it that "HIS". God gave us all the things of the earth as well as self control, wine is to purify our stomachs, people choose to take it to drunkenness, does not mean it's against God, evil, or a sin.
All natural things given by God are perfect and good, don't allow man to make evil what God has made good because of their feeling, trust in God.
Don't you people realize this is what we used before Big Pharma, but because of legislation you're using the bible to preach against the words of God
What defines something as a sin?
@@thechoosen1129my mother’s cousin sisters brother in laws, neighbors nephews boyfriends dose.
The more pain I go through with a sober mind, the more I go to God for peace. It unites us.
Yes!!! This!
Ahhh...ok, ok. I'm going to really use that as my jumping off point for meditation...thx
Sober means not of alcohol; not drunk
Exactly
He is with the lowly and humble
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour" - 1 Peter 5:8
Taken way outta context
@@Nobodys_safeWhat's the definition for "Sober" in your mind then?
@@Rhythm0201 first, can you tell me what the definition of the word high means?
Jesus was the lion of Judah we not gone demonize the king lion but therefore satan takes on a role of a sneaky snake
@@HighVibrations22 yeah not sure how that works. Lion of judah = Lion and roaring lion = lion 🤷🏻♂️
I’m a walking testimony. I’m only turning 26 this year and I was a weed smoker for almost 10 years. And I mean chronic I couldn’t do anything even be with my family unless I was high. One day I was so sick of it and I’ve tried to quit plenty times but always went back. Anyway one day I was on my bed crying out to god to please help me and heal me of this addiction. I told him I’m ready to submit fully I’m done being a lukewarm Christian. I trust you lord. The NEXT day I was healed. God completely took the urge, the craving, the emptiness from me. I felt god working inside me. I’m now almost 3 months sober this is the longest I’ve gone without it. And I will never cross my lord by going back to what he healed me from. I’m so blessed. My life has changed. I no longer struggle with mental health issues. Praise god. Our GOD is so faithful.
The most high is very good ☀️ …proud of you
I smoked for about 8 1/2 years, and tried almost all drugs.. but the most liked was the weed .. and in 2020, walking with the dog and smoking a joint, I said: God, you know that I really like this vice, but I would like to stop... I can't do it alone, help me!! and then I thought about throwing the joint away...
After 2 days I met up with an old friend and he told me to smoke. 😮💨 and when I tried again I had a terrible trip, I was angry, remorse of conscience...
That was the last joint !!
It was hard at first but Thank God, it's been almost 4 years
🙏🙏🙏
you're a walking weirdo seen more people become open enough to accept the idea of religion on weed then sober
people who are high are more like jesus then those who are not
I smoked weed for 10 years. I am 27 now. Everytime I would get high I would always felt convicted….I decided to stop completely and I instantly started to have dreams, vivid real dreams. I had one more “urge” to smoke weed to get high because I was battling anxiety and just boredom. I went to bed that night sober and God came to me in both my dreams. I saw a different life for myself and I saw how God could work in my life if I just did not smoke weed anymore. Ever since I had those dreams I never once desired to smoke weed anymore. God has a calling for all of us and we all have a responsibility to take care of the body (temple) God has blessed us with. You have the freedom to do what you want, but remember that everything you do alive on earth God has an account of it and he will ask you why you did the things you did. Seek Jesus Christ and believe with all your heart and he will reveal his plans for you. I’m very thankful I was able to quit smoking and get right with Jesus ✝️
Amen!!!
ME TOO!!!!! Congratulations !
Help me GOD . Pray for me brothers

@ChildofGod-qz2pj if you can’t dream, then you can’t see your destiny. The Bible talks about how GOD speaks to us in dreams and visions. If you are not receiving dreams and visions from GOD, then you are receiving them from the enemy. If your visions and dreams come from the enemy, then your true destiny has been highjacked and you will fail in all that you set your hands to.
I used to smoke all day everyday, drink heavy on the weekends. I asked God one night in fervent prayer if it’s ok, welp, let’s just say that I don’t smoke weed or drink alcohol anymore, it’s been replaced with prayer and scripture study which I feel much better about. God bless yall.
You should get your mental health checked if you talk to things that aren't real.
@@TravisOngley How would you know what's real? One human in an infinite universe. Be real, my guy.
@@TravisOngley if one of your family members was sick and you said that you believed in God one day and they were healed, i wouldn't tell you you're crazy for that, i would congratulate your family member getting healed!! If thats whats bringing you peace then why would i break that down for you. Just food for thought not trying to attack you just want people to be nicer to people even if they dont see eye to eye, because what if your comment makes him go back to that state!
93% of the world population believes in God or a God, so clearly you are the tiny minority that needs a mental health check...@@TravisOngley
@@TravisOngleyIf God isn’t real why are you here? I know you feel convicted brother and i pray for your healing.
The bible says, be anxious for nothing, but in everything in prayer and in supplications make your request be known to God. It also says, cast your cares upon Him for He cares for you. Another verse says I will lift up my eyes up to the mountains from where comes my help, my help comes from the Lord who made the heavens and the earth. This means that once you cast all your anxieties on God, trust that He will help you through it and focus strictly on His goodness and worry no more. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves and tell ourselves to stop over thinking stop over worrying because God got it. This is where faith in Him needs to take over. God bless
Thank you
is that THE bible or a bible that's been rewritten more then the years we count since passover?
I am glad I came across these comments- because this is something I struggle with right now today. Thank you all for sharing you guys testimonies. 🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 I'm asking for prayer for deliverance- in Jesus' mighty name- Amen.🙌🏽🙏🏽🫶🏽
Intention is important. Relaxation is one thing. Escapism or to heal is another issue. I used shrooms and dmt. During an Ayahuasca ceremony, Jesus showed up and told me to stop lifting the hood and poking at the spirit. He said I AM the mechanic, not you. TRUST ME 🙏🏽
Praise God
ALL praise to the most high 🙏
Drunkards will not inherit the kingdom of God. Gods word is very clear brother. Be sober minded.
This is so good and very true
@@ryanrogers8211
Healing herb dont equal drunkard.
@@bankhead1682 being intoxicated habitually does.
He knows the answer, he admitted he feels convicted. It’s a stronghold in his head that he is rationalizing. Whoever try’s to hang on to his life, will lose it. Whoever gives up his life for my sake will surely save it. Do not love the things of the flesh. You can tell it’s an idol because he is willing to cut back but not give it up entirely. Not trying to judge i have personally struggled with addiction. Instead of seeking a “green light” from cliff ask your father.
AMEN BROTHER
Stronghold builds a defense in the mind. Therefore, defending something that your spirit convicts. Now I agree and understand where he is coming from. So Christians can drink but not smoke CBD/hemp/weed
@@isaiahhines1723 Bible says not to be a drunkard, & to have a sober mind.
@@issaccoronado2335 right don't get drunk but you can say the same for weed take it but do not let it over take you, likewise doing all things in moderation. Great examples were stated in Ecclesiastes to do everything in moderation. Also, if you were to take CBD and smoke weed a little and still have a sober mind then what would you say to that? When taking CBD I still have a sober and sound mind with no form of cloudiness
@@isaiahhines1723
I used to get really drunk, when I was straying from God. Because of that, I can't have any alcohol because even one beer would be sin for me.
That said, 1 beer or two beers where a person is not drunk is not a sin and I don't tell others it's a sin. Any amount of alcoholic drink is a sin to me because of my past.
The difference and why I say that any amount of weed is a sin is because weed, unlike alcoholic beverages, only has one purpose, and that is to alter your mental state.
You can drink one beer and your mental state not be altered.
But from experience, just one hit of weed changes your mind. You are in an altered state. It is a drug in that way through and through.
Some people drink a beer, don't get drunk, but enjoy the taste and they're not sinning.
But everyone who smokes weed does it for the purposes to get high. For that reason, just like cocaine or shrooms or any other drug that only exists to alter your mind, there's not an acceptable amount.
Now if you have a genuine medical condition and you're prescribed weed for pain or something and you take it according to the doctors recommendations, that's a different scenario.
In the same way, when I went in to surgery, they gave me a small dose fentanyl, and I wasn't sinning by recieving the fentanyl, whereas if I purchased it on the streets and used it for recreation, that would be sin.
But again, unlike alcohol, weed only gets you high. Alcohol gets you high if you drink enough to the point that you're drunk, and people who drink 1 or 2 and aren't drunk, aren't sinning necessarily.
Cannabis has saved me from suicide due to issue from the army that i got while in Afghanistan for two tours.
I love this convo.
Thank you for your service 🫡
I’ve never had a problem with drinking or smoking weed but I will admit for the past 6 years I’ve been a slave to vaping, this gave me a lot of clarity & I’ve been off of it for about 4-5 days, hoping I can keep going! God bless you George!
As a born again, Colorado native, weed was a large of my life, even after I encountered the living God. I took me years to come to the realization that getting high was really taking me farther from God. In reality I was getting low, in the sense I was coming down from my seat in heavenly places to seek comfort from the things of this world. Family, let the Holy Spirit be your comforter. Seek things that are above, not the things of this earth. I encourage you that there is a better way and that you can leave behind all regret and shame.
I agree. I can’t speak for everyone but every substance I’ve ever used ends becoming a distraction.
But what George is saying is it’s actually doing more positive to him. He said that if he realized it was doing more harm than good he would be more hesitant. He gets anxiety when he uses it because of the worldly stigma associated with it. He wants to know if it’s actually beneficial for him and his health than harmful, should he be feeling bad that he’s going against God
This is why the church needs to be more spiritual. Too much philosophy and human wisdom, and not enough wisdom straight from God. Spiritual things are not discerned by the flesh.... So there is a reason the native people who smoked Marijuana did it spiritually. There is a reason that alcohol products are called 'spirits'. There is a reason when you go to the club you either feel dirty or you feel great.... No in between. It's because things that change how you feel are gateways to spirits. There is no carnal wisdom that can discern what happens to you when you smoke weed. Your heart which is spirit will discern it. There is no real tangible remedy for how you feel.... Biggest lie in our pharmaceutical industry. Only spirits conduct feelings. So if a drug makes you feel better, then just know it is introducing spirits to your temple.
If George feels restless and anxious before he sleeps, it is probably because of a spiritual condition that needs a spiritual solution. Addiction does the same thing. If you always smoke and eat before bed, the spirits that benefit from you doing that will coerce you to keep doing it. You will suffer a withdrawal if you don't do it. There are so many things that we do in ignorance that foster the spiritual conditions that drive us to substance abuse, and by the time you are dependent on a substance to alleviate the symptoms of spiritual oppression.... You are in a type of bondage. Guarantee you George 'needs' weed because of some other area of his life he hasn't surrendered to God. If the Peace of God can't get you to sleep at night.... Then you must not have it, and if you don't have it.... You must have something else instead....
@@cecilmcintosh864🎯
Well and I’ll be real with yall sugar kills people every day it’s waaaaay worse for you then weed …. The chemicals in sugar actually are 3 times more addictive than tobacco .
George is awesome for being so honest, open & transparent I feel him
Oh. My goodness just the video I need to hear I want a closer relationship with God & smoking weed been hard to give up. But I'll do it for God...
I have had the exact same thoughts and feels so comforting knowing I’m not the only who goes trough these thoughts and have someone who speaks their truth like you do
Thank you guy's for this topic and your full transparency and vulnerability ❤
weird story but, i became a christian after i took shrooms one day. I was in a bad place and took them with friends, suddenly i got in a lot of pain and my body stopped moving and i prayed to a God i wasnt sure was there, “please dont let me die here this is such a dumb decision i shouldnt have done these” and like a snap of the fingers it felt like i was outside my body and floating around in a black mist. I could feel my legs and body really far to my left but i was detached from it. After floating around for a while this golden light like thing who i dont want to call God just in case it wasnt, appeared out of the black. It looked like a golden flashy light that was behind a thin silver curtain, but i could still see the light shining. It spoke to me telepathically, like with thought to thought. It said “ive loved you and i will always love you” to which i then got so blown away and said “wow you are god? how are you even real, how do you exist?”. The light said “it wouldnt make sense to explain it to you now, but ive been here always and will always be”. A lot of other things we talked about that i don’t remember, but i remember my family, and thinking that i would leave them if i died. I immediately regretted my decision and wanted to go back because it would suck for my family for me to die so young. I was 22 and im 25 now. After i “woke up” from that experience i started praying and asking God to reveal himself. That was when i got the overwhelming urge to read the bible and the rest is history. I remember crying and being so happy from reading. It was like my world was gray and broken before and everything became bright and hopeful
My experience was different but feelings were the same. I got on my knees and prayed to the lord that I couldn’t do it alone, I couldn’t do it anymore. He swallowed me in happiness, love hope and joy that I cannot explain of describe. When I think of that memory all I see in my head is a golden white light. It wasn’t there, but now that’s all my brain sees. Cool to see your visual sighting reflects my mental sighting. Thank you’
That’s such an awesome story. Thanks for sharing that testimony. Amen !
Do you think it's sin to do mushrooms I got bad anxiety and loads people told me it can help and also I've done about 6 months research on it and I'm thinking doing them soon whats your thought
@@Mush-love01 mushrooms and also marijuana can put you into a permanent psychosis state if you use it too much. It can also create shorts in your brain
@sweatshirty I know from all my research but it depends if your responsibly taking it and also if you have schizophrenia running in your family and I don't so I won't get permanent stuff
I used to smoke everyday, multiple times a day,from age 15-34. I knew it was wrong. So I asked God to take the desire away from me,to make me hate it. After that, everytime I'd smoke,i would get soooo tired. I wasn't "getting high";only tired. I started to hate rolling blunts,hate going to buy it,hated how it was making me lazy,just hated everything about it. But I still felt i needed it for anxiety.So i stopped smoking,and started eating edibles🤦♀️. I still was praying for God to take the desire away. I knew I was wrong,and i wasnt pleasing God. I kept praying all day everyday about it. It didn't take long but after I'd eat an edible ,I started getting super paranoid,and it started doing the opposite. I was now getting super anxious about everything. It was the worst. God was making me hate it. When i would pray, immediately i would hear "if I am enough for you,why do you need this?"
God is enough for me. Through a lot of prayer, reading scripture, i was set free. I no longer smoke or eat edibles. I have no desire to ever again. I just want to please God. I don't need to smoke/get high for my anxiety. I just call on Him. In the video George says he just wants to unwind.. Unwind with God. With scripture. With prayer. Soon you will realize you love God so much and want to please Him,that you will have no desire anymore. Because its all about pleasing God. It wont be a chore. It will be something you want to do because you love Him so much.
That’s crazy bro because that’s the same thing happened to me and I prayed same thing n now I’ve been two weeks sober I don’t even crave it anymore
I can sooo relate and what a beautiful story brother ❤
AS A NEW FOLLOWER OF CHRIST I AM SO GLAD TO SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE STRUGGLING WITH THIS , I DON'T DRINK HARDLY TBH I'VE NEVER ENJOY DRINKING BUT I DO ENJOY BURING MARYJ, IT HELPS ME READ THE BIBLE AND REALLY BE WITH GOD, IT HELPS ME FOCUS HONESTLY . I ALWAYS PRY AND I HAVE ALWAYS SET INTENTIONS BEFORE SPARKING THANKING GOD FOR SUCH WONDERFUL PLANT AND I AM NOT ONE TO BE SMK ALL THE TIME I DO IT IN MODERATION, BUT I DO ENJOY, I LOVE GOD I LOVE JESUS, I AM SO HAPPY THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. ALL WITH MODERATION, I WANT TO GROW CLOSER WITH GOD AND SPARKING UP BEFORE READING HIS WORD HELPS ME UNDERSTAND IT AND REALLY STAY FOCUS, I WILL CONTINUE TO ASK GOD FOR HIS GUIDE. BUT I AM SO HAPPY TO HEAR THIS CONVERSATION.
Cliff, thanks for sharing The Lord's Prayer and how you refocus. Been there. Nice to know I'm not the only 1.
George, I feel you bro.
Everyone else, appreciate you all and God bless.
SO!! Sounds to me, George is really good at making excuses to do things, that deep down inside he knows it is wrong. He proves he knows it wrong when talking about the anxiety he has about smoking weed. That is because his spirit and conscience is screaming at him, not to do it, but he will try really hard to find ways to lie to himself so that he can do it anyway. "it's not as bad a alcohol, "I use it as a good tool" "I do it to unwind vs taking pills" and even trying to get Cliff's approval. which he didn't get.
I am not here to judge, God definitely knows I am a sinner and my struggles..but my message here is do not do what George is doing and give yourself grace to do things that your spirit is telling you is wrong. I see George do it a lot with premarital sex, drug use, swearing, etc fully knowing it is wrong, but CHOOSES to do it anyway .. He need to practice more of what he preaches, especially since his podcast is focused on religious issues and topics. George, you are not leading your viewers in the right direction.. To anyone reading this, if you have doubt about if something is right or wrong. Just ask, and listen to your spirit. If it is telling you not to do something and is giving you anxiety when just thinking about doing the action.. then don't do it.. your spirit wont mislead you.
I'm really glad you said all this so I didn't have to . The real ones see it . I'm glad he's talking about Jesus tho just wish he would comment all the and be the example for the lost ones . Not making the saved go back to there old bad habits. Pray for him man he's almost there .
He's grieving the holy spirit over and over again.
In the fact that he wants it that bad says that it's an idol
George Asks if its wrong, Cliffe Says its wrong. George: b-b-but!
Exactly my thoughts!
As a 20 year weed smoker I can testify that I use to be just like George & addicted to the comfort of smoking but once I got my annoiting, the Holy Ghost has been the comforter I need. His convictions show & will hurt him in the long run. It's just the enemy's way of keeping him trapped.💯 Peace & Blessings🙏💕🙏💕
Amen
God bless you, go heat
I love Cliff and George. GOD BLESS
Genuine conversation between folks, Respect.
Knowing the God we serve, He wants us to call on him in our time of need. He doesn't want us to lean on food, cigarettes, drugs, our best friend, weed, alcohol, shopping, money, pleasure and the list goes on. He wants us to rely on Him. When we feel any emotion that drives us to lean on something, lean on Him. When we want to unwind after a hard day, unwind with Him. He is who gives us strength and fulfillment. Everything else is a false sense of security and slowly distances us from our creator. The enemy comes in the form of light and we must not be ignorant of his devices. Don't let him deceive you anymore, George. God bless you for sharing your struggles!
Yes!
Now do modern medicine. Stop taking your blood pressure meds and rely on God! Oh, but I bet you can’t stop that high sugar, salt and processed food diet. Come on! Trust in God and stop all your medication
Well said
Yeshua literally turned water to wine. So alcohol is a devine drink.
So when you’re hungry you pray and not eat? When your thirsty you pray and not go get water? He created the plant obviously satan has no power to create a plant, smoking anything is a sin if you could smoke holy water it would still be a sin because it’s hurting the body god put you in, eating it does ZERO damage. So elaborate on how LORD created it made it medicinal but he doesn’t want you to use it? Stop using the LORD against thing you don’t like or understand that in it self is a sin.
As a fellow Christian who also partakes i appreciate this discussion.thank you
i just stopped a few days ago. It is not even the same plant it once was and it 100% gives the devil power over you. Pray to Jesus Christ for Him to revealed the truth to you- He showed me in a dream it was satanic
We're to be sober minded. And he's making it an idol. Anything you rely on that's not God, it's an idol.
@@sabrinasusen7463 amen
@@sabrinasusen7463he's not idolizing it. If a doctor prescribes a patient marijuana due to having sleep issues, that person isnt idolizing marijuana. Neither is George for just wanting to partake in it to wind down. Its not a sin to partake in marijuana just as it isnt a sin to drink a beer. One idolizes it when they have to smoke it to do anything/abusing it, or smoking just to simply enjoy life. Yes, God does want us to have a sober mind, so in that aspect i dont think he likes if we get high, but i think thats as far as it goes.
@juliustaylor9920 some people don't make it an idol, but the way he spoke about it, the really desperate desire to get approva for smokingl, and continuing after the Holy Spirit is grieved (that why he feels so bad), yet he still wants to justify it. That to me looks like an idol. Especially bc it sounds like he does it every night.
We're to deny our flesh, which is super hard, but that's what we should strive for, to set down pleasure and carry our cross. We're not to be of the world, doing all the same things.
Do you regularly, diligently read the Word? If you did you'd find how Jesus called us to live and the grave seriousness of depending on something that isn't God.
Love this group of guys and gal. God bless🙌🏽❤️
So I have stomach issues and problems. I also have severe neck and back pain from car accidents. I do not like the feeling of meds they had me on. I smoke weed. Now. When I say smoke weed. I absolutely do not get "stoned" I just relieve my pain and move on. I've been really struggling with this lately. Thank you for the video.
We’ve lived the same life 🤣. Same exact situation here. The neck and back pain try bathing in epsom salt+baking soda in hot hot water for a few nights. Really pulls the inflmaation out of there
Yup I deal with chronic leg pain and my adhd with autism
@@jesusisking563 autism is an excuse. Why even acknowledge it? You’re you
I smoked weed for over 20 years as a Christian and always felt conviction about it, to the point I felt as I was a hypocrite even going to church because when I left I was smoking weed.. I had a lot of anxiety also ptsd, insomnia. ADHD you name it but as a Christian i knew those were things God wanted me to give to him knowing that Jesus died so we can be healed so we could be delivered from all that.. knowing that our body is a temple that we must present to God holy and without sin, it is the dwelling place of the Holy spirit.. and that is why he calls us to be of sober mind so that he can dwell in us so that we can present ourselves as a temple holy and acceptable, as a living sacrifice unto him. God's word says though we are in the world we are not of the world.. and though the world tells you that you should depend on substances to give you peace and help with anxiety he says to depend on him... as someone who grew up in the church i knew this to be true but like you tried to find excuses why weed was ok all awhile God was convicting me, it got to point I stopped going to church because I felt like I was living a lukewarm life which is a sin and God says he will spit out anyone who is lukewarm so I told myself I would rather be cold than be lukewarm and not be on fire for chirst I recognized that smoking weed kept me lukewarm because the holy spirit could not dwell in me if I was not of sober mind. I was out of church for about 6 years until one day at my lowest point when I was having anxiety attacks because I had no weed and was at point I wanted to die cus I had no weed and no way to stop my anxiety attack. God came to me and it was like I could feel him holding my hand and hear him saying I am here I will help you I felt a sudden peace I had never felt I felt an urge to read the Bible and pray.. from that day I decided not to smoke weed it was not easy at first but i prayed every time i felt that desire to smoke and had faith and believed God's word that says he will break you free from all bondage and weed had me in bondage. He deliverd me praise God I am now almost 3 years free from smoking weed with no desire for weed and I know he can deliver you. If he is convicting you it is because he cares he is a good father who loves you and wants the best for you he wants you to be free from all bondage and anything that hinders you from drawing near to him and depending on him. ❤
So when my Drs tell me not to stop smoking marijuana because they work better than the other options what should I do? I should've been dead in 2017 according to the statistics. I've been to the Drs. Without chemo and radiation just the use of marijuana and God my last appointment went really well. Nothing has changed for the last 12 years. It still looked good and the way it did when it was discovered. Should I just pray and ask God if he will heal me from the cancer? I haven't been to my gyno in 2 years. So for 10 years marijuana usage has worked.
@@user-eg2gg3de7wbro because ganja heals soul and cancer not just body. Stop listening to these dreadful full of fear so called Christian’s.
Because of this comment, I threw away all my weed shit. I’ve just had enough of feeling so horrible. Preaching the gospel, telling people to be sober minded but then I get high everyday. because of you, you planted a seed in me. I threw all my shit in the fire pit right NOW. And let god kill me if I’m lying I promise you I’m not. Thank you bro. Thank you…
This!!! ❤

I have a point with the anxiety thing (I am being a hypocrite because I am addicted to weed). Jesus wants us to run to him no matter what. So when you feel anxious, do you run to Jesus or the joint? I run to the joint because I don't want to deal with my emotions, calm myself down because I also have ADHD and to unwind but God wants us to unwind with him and only him. When you put weed in the mix, you make weed similar to an Idol or equivalent to Jesus. That's the hard truth
I have been doing what cliff has said about meditation and it helps a lot I have been sleeping better with that when you have the urge to smoke ask Jesus it okay to ask him but you have to remember not to depend on it I urge you to try the meditation I’m in the same situation right now like I wanna smoke cause I wanna unwind and relax but also to answer the question you are not a hypocrite cause sometimes stoners put god first in everything vs people that don’t smoke or drink but you have to realize god doesn’t necessarily wants you to do it cause he wants you to come to him with your anxiety and depression or whatever and just feel like if you can put him first and everything anxiety,fear, worry you’ll be okay I would say instead of going to a joint for anxiety you say those prayers cliff was saying and than go from there I really hope this make some what sense and just know this is a very hard issue and topic but just knows god forgives you and understands you and loves you no matter what
@@johnreyes1804 no dont smoke in general if you havea urge pray,,,thats it,,,no if oyu can i just pleeease NO just pray
Can one run to God for anxiety and still use cannabis ? He did create it did he not?
@@kalebsevenhundredseventyseven no Because it was not made to be smoked
Smoking cannabis does not make you a hypocrite, cannabis is in the holy anointing oil and ancient Israelites smoked cannabis, archaeological evidence of this.

I'm 37 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??
Well, the investment-advisor that guides me is..
I Met Mrs Cathie Wood last year for the first time at a church program, where she greeted a friend of mine also a church member, and fortunately for me, we exchanged contact and got along. What God cannot do, doesn't exist" I truly believe this word 100 percent❤❤❤
😱Sounds familiar, I have heard her name on several occasions.. and both her success stories in the wall Street journal!!!
I have the same struggles in my mind with this topic. It's nice to hear you all speak about it so openly and just laugh and also ask genuine questions out of concern. I grew up smoking & never liked drinking that much, but at some point, I did realize that if smoking took priority over prayer and putting God first... that's an issue. Clarity of mind when completely sober for a time is nice, and the dreams I have are wild! I like to think that much of life is about balance and, yeah, everything in moderation. Like all other things, sometimes we need to put it aside and dedicate a chunk of our time to devotion, prayers, fasting and being in the word. God bless you all. Love you guys
Amen this is how i do it and others dont understand. Oh well. God loves me and HE knows I know in my heart that nothing comes above him. I see it as a blessing that I am even alive to experience HIM in all ways

If you think it's wrong your being convicted
It should be convicting. The problem is some have seared their conscious about the justification of sinful behavior, so when marijuana is called out, they participate in it with limits as if God smiles at “limited sinning”. 🤷♂️🤦♂️
God knows our hearts and if he believes this is leading us in the wrong direction it will stop
@@user-vq6ir6ul2b you’re right. God knows our hearts are deceitful above all things and can lead us astray (Jeremiah 17:9). Plus we don’t do something just because it makes us feel good (like getting high), because that’s called pleasing the flesh which is not walking in the Spirit which we’re called to do and pursue holiness (without it we won’t see God).
@@sw8661 you are so wrong. Do you think doesn’t want you to enjoy this world ? Making love with your wife feels good , eating when hungry feels good , taking a dump feels good. God doesn’t want you in pain and absent from pleasure of this dimension. It’s the meaning you give it , if you put anything above God you are a fool and that can be same with food and baths and any other thing that is pleasurable and natural. Jesus didn’t drink wine he drank grape juice . Al Khul (alcohol) is a straight opening for demon influence. Cannabis on the other hand is not , smoking cannabis is bad for the lungs you borrowed from God . When you are with God you don’t feel anxiety and if you do , just pray to God trough Jesus and you will be good. Putting anything to be valuable or important more than obedience to God is wrong. Personally I have no problem with the plant , it’s when you start idolizing the plant putting yourself in non clear minded states and not doing your duty of bringing people to the Kingdom or hurting your body is when it’s a problem. You have an endocannabinoid system in your body , which means we have been nurturing and caring for this plant for thousands of years it’s not a wild plant it’s domesticated and obviously valuable to the human
@@sw8661theres nothing in the bible saying it
I’m reading all these comments about how smoking will lead them to sinful things, but for me it’s different… like George, I’ve smoked weed and read the Bible, smoked weed and prayed, I’ve even asked God to bring harm to my body in some sort, or allow me to get sick off of it, NOT tempting God, but truly seeking what He wanted and I never got sick, not felt bad, none of it. I smoke with my friends and I still bring up God, still spread his Gospel and try to bring them towards Him. It doesn’t make me “crazy” like George said, it honestly mellows me out and my ADHD thoughts that are running through my head all day, calm down a little bit and I relax. Idk maybe we all act different but I still don’t see a problem if you’re not idolizing it
every believer has their own convictions and we are all supposed to respect the weaker brother or sister by not doing something that will cause them to stumble, so if smoking weed makes you brother or sister stumble don't do it, or at least not around them. If you ask The Lord to show you His will for your life He will, and what is ok for you might not be for the next brother or sister. That is why Jesus is so amazing because He has a personal relationship with us all individually and knows us all intimately so He can tell us what to do! He can bless us in ways only He knows we need. He can heal us in ways we never knew we needed. Bottom line is Jesus is Lord and second to none, so if anything or anyone comes in-between your relationship with Christ, IT WILL be removed no matter what. God is a jealous God, He will not share what belongs to Him(our praise and affection) with nothing or no one! Praise Your Mighty Name Jesus!
I agree it helps with pain and my autism and adhd
Love this George.!!!!!THANK YOU. U MEAN ALOT TO ME. :)
I’m 23 years old and I’m a complete alcoholic. It kills me everyday to fight this addiction… This demon. I also smoke a little weed too… but not enough to call it an addiction. Alcohol is my drug. What’s crazy is I hate it and I KNOW I need to stop. But I can’t… it has such a hold over me. I’ve been drinking since 18 and it’s gotten worse. I pray for power over this evil and I pray for control over my own life but dammit!!! It’s so strong on me. Please pray for me. I believe in Jesus and I read the Bible all the time. The Bible has shown me my falls, my sins… And I still feel this evil. Please pray for me.
Praying for you brother
@@StayTunedtv-xl2xethank you brother. I deeply appreciate this.
praying for you bro!!!
I'm praying for you 🙏 and remember to pray for yourself. ❤
God bless you bro! You’ve already overcome by the blood of the lamb. You can do this.
people who dont smoke have the craziest ideas about weed.
I smoke Sativa and i actually feel closer to God when I do. My prayers are longer i actually feel the gospel music it’s just a better experience.
For any Christians that want to smoke I say smoke sativa try to stay away from indica (lazy weed)
Sativa allows you to still be active and can sometimes get you deep in your thoughts it helps me self reflect.
Indica is for winding down after work or before you got to bed.
Yea I feel the same way and like they say in the comments if you feel convicted you should stop, I still smoke myself but I need to lay off the indica and slow down on the smoking i don’t feel weed is bad it’s how you handle it because like you said indica winds you down and gets you lazy that’s when you can be vulnerable to satans attacks that’s why I feel they tell us not to smoke weed
@@jayrodaceo416 amen brother exactly! Also one more thing do still have dreams when you smoke?
@@jayrodaceo416weed comes from god anything that comes or is made by has a purpose for it and is good weed is not the problem is you allowing your own thoughts to be deceive by satan too make yu feel like you life aint wroth nothing weed don't do that satan does learn demonology learn how demons use your mind too get your heart weed is just a plant that doesn't do nothing but make you feel good nor it brings negative feelings or thoughts thats all on yourself
Yeah, many people in the comments are condemning it because they used it for the wrong purpose hence their judgement on it. But as youve said, if you use it to connect more with the Bible, I dont see it being bad. We have to understand what weed does, it just amplifies who you are and how you are thinking and feeling. So if your ways are not good, youll just feel convicted
I ONLY SMOKE SATIVA AND I AM SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT IAM NOT ALONE IN THIS AS A NEW FOLLOWER OF CHRIST i DON'T THINK ITS WRONG AND I DON'T FEEL CONVICTION WHEN I DO BECAUSE I AM FOCUS ON GOD WORD OR PRAISING GOD
I am so glad to confess that George because I too enjoy puffing a little and reading my BIble ❤
I struggled with this for a while and like you I only smoked at night to relax and I loved it. God convicted me about it and I felt like in order to be close to him I should be more holy. I wound up quitting and he’s given me the strength to get through it and now I don’t even think about it. I have peace in him now ❤
I am SO glad you talked about this. I have been fighting with this as well. I have given up caffeine, and booze for the most part (really trying). But I feel exactly the same way as you. Thank you George with opening up and being vulnerable. You Are Awesome. Thanks for using your platform to spread the gospel!
@daniele.3361well it’s additive so is it ?
I place caffeine,sweets, wine, bourbon, cannibis, fried foods, rich foods all in the same category………..partake in moderation
@daniele.3361if weed is a sin caffeine is definitely one too
I just quit a week ago and have the same struggle with George. The thing I fall back on is who do I want to rely on. My weed or God! God every time
I suggest you go on a 7 day fast. It will break of the Stronghold. God bless you 🙏🏾
I quit months ago and truly dove deep into scripture and my relationship with God. I feel that Ive developed the capacity and habit of putting my issues on God and letting him work through my struggles. Would it make me a bad person to get a medical card now that the relationship is strong? Is it flesh? Idk…
I won't quit, God doesn't love me for what I am no matter how many times I spill my guts to him. It is what it is, I always feel uncomfortable in the church like a gut feeling to leave, and God doesn't know my pain or my suffering, only weed calms me down and let's me know I'm good. I'm too corrupt that I feel God doesn't even pay attention to me and people alike. I'm here to die and if hell is the first place I'm going, too bad I'm already in hell anyway.
@@silkyblack5880 God loves you and I pray that you get an encounter. I'm so sorry for the pain that you go through🙏🏾 You will be healed in Jesus name.
@@silkyblack5880 I would have you to know that there’s no sin in your life that God is holding against you. Jesus had already forgiven you for your sins. He’s no longer imputing sins to your account.
2 Corinthians 5:19 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not 👉🏾imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
With Forgiven sins we have an empty bank account, but salvation is what adds righteousness to our bank account. Sin is not the problem today. It’s unbelief… if you haven’t put your faith in Christ alone. It’s my hearts desire that you believe the gospel… here’s the gospel in the following verse. Grace and peace!
1 Corinthians 15:1-4KJV
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Bro growing up in church they would have cut my head off for a question like this thank you for the realness God bless you brother
It’s because religious people are insane and they believe in a book and an imaginary person so hardcore, that they would cut your head off because you asked a question about a plant that was here before we were… interesting
These are good talks. Praise the Lord
I am about three weeks removed from having the same internal conflict that George is describing here. I had the same reasons for smoking, I rationalized it, the same exact way, I kid you not what it came down to for me, is that my study of scripture has led me to believe That Christ is considerate of all people. Even though I didn’t feel like smoking, controlled me, the fact that I did smoke and claimed to live a life for Christ I believe was causing others to continue on with their abuse of weed, alcohol, food, or whatever else could be abused, and used to replace the presence of God in prayer and or meditation. If me stopping is going to influence even just one person to stop, leaning on anything of the world and replace that with a relationship with Jesus, then I believe that is the most Christlike, and considerate thing to do.
I appreciate this tooic. I was in a wreck when i was 22 and broke 28 bones. 3 were in my spine. I developed seizures when i turned 30, due to minor head concussion from same wreck. I smoke at night to help sleep, pain, and not overthink EVERYTHING. I needed to hear this.
Thank you for having this discussion! I am fighting the urge to tell my whole cannabis story here, but what I really feel compelled to say is this;
God is not too big to reach out to, and no problem you face is too big OR too small to bring to Him in prayer.
Thank you Lord... You told me moderation was key a while back.. it's good to hear confirmation
I have respect for Jorge , bc im going through the same! I love reading or watching biblical stuff when im high..
I’ve been trying to come closer to god and this question has been twisting my insides for years and I have no one to really confide in about the matter. Thank you for this chat it at least made me realise I’m not alone in my battles
Brother.... I mean this will all due respect. The Bible tells us not to rely on man for our understanding. The answers are in our Bible If we look. I mean literally do not get your answers from man. What you can do with man is raise questions and discern together, and then you go back to your Bible to verify. Who do we verify with? We verify with the Holy Spirit and lean on him for our understanding. So many Christians are relying on man for their understanding of the Bible, and that turns into "hear say". And there is just so much that people are getting wrong. People often don't know how to pray. Or rather pray powerfully... I don't mean this as a trick question what so ever... but i want to know where you are... without looking it up... can you tell me how to pray powerfully? I don't mean to embarrass you and I'm not calling you out... this is a teaching we all should know... if you don't know, would you please let me tell you and then go into your Bible to verify? This will be such a powerful tool for you brother. So tell me, how do you pray powerfully? You can say you don't know if you don't know.... its really okay. But I'm going to guide you if you don't... and then everyone that reads this will know how to as well...
@@bigginzack thanks for your reply mate and I take no offence we’re all on our journey back to the father. Truth is like I said I’m trying but I don’t know nor do I trust the churches nor anyone so I pray alone and I pray by giving thanks even when I’m struggling and miserable I thank god for all the blessings I can and can’t see, I apologise for my sins and pray for the strength and wisdom to no longer be a slave to my flesh.

From a guy who knew weed at 12. And smoked for more than 20 years, I tell you the worst issue of smocking weed is taking you away from your goals..

Maaaan! I really appreciate this question…Thank you for covering it!
Personally, I think drunkenness would be the "over"use of any substances that would interfere with your sobriety or have any effect on your natural state of being. So imo getting high and drinking alcohol to the point where you start to feel the effect would be included as a form of drunknness.
this.
100% If ur blacking out, that's not good. But remember, Jesus first miracle was making more wine cuz the ppl drank all of it. So it's certainly alright to alter one's state of mind, as long as u don't lose control of urself
As a christian trying my best to walk with the lord, weed was something I had to give up. The lord made it clear for me. for reasons that are biblical - everything is permissible but not everything is beneficial (1 cor. 10:23) and also, denying the desires of my flesh (galatians 5:17-21). I came to a point in smoking where in my flesh demanded it and that's when it clicked for me. and I also i agree with what you meant by drunkness not just being alcohol but also about any substance that interferes. The red flags for me when it comes to anything we consume are when if God suddenly asks me to give it up, will i struggle ? if i will, when it's time to give it up to God.
There's no smoking weed nor drinking without feeling the effects
@@aclark210tolerance. Sometimes you might not feel the effects, but you’re definitely affected.
Been struggling with this so long thank you George
Just started reading it while smoking and it definitely helps me focus more
I once dated a beautiful christian woman that i really liked. When we started dating i asked God what he thinks about her, he told me deep down in my heart that it wasnt my woman. I would then ask different people what they think about this situation eventho in new deep down that it was wrong to be with her. At the end we stopped dating because God showed us the right thing. Moral of the story: Everyone often knows whats right in a given moment because of the HS in us but we often use excuses to still do the thing we know was wrong.
Agreed
May God give me the strength to battle temptation.. I right now am trying grow closer to Christ. One of my obstacles that sticks out is the use of substance. Mostly weed, however another substance that’s taken my life over the past two years has been kratom. I also have struggled with pornography and fornication/lust. My sailors mouth doesn’t help either. I’m desperately trying to stop these bad habits before it’s too late. Growing up I didn’t think God existed until undeniable confirmation proved me to be wrong. He saved my life on multiple occasions and I don’t want to take it for granted. Every time I stop these things I’m hit with extreme sadness, anxiety, and fear. I give in every time. Please pray for me as I don’t even want to continue this sinful behavior anymore, I just feel trapped. I’m going to keep praying and reading scripture. God bless you all
God bless you❤ You're going to make this, Christ called you to be different, and he will guide you, protect you and provide for you, you're not doing this on your own. Whenever you feel weak, pray! Whenever you need assistance, pray! You can also surround yourself with other Christians who are strong in faith or battling just like you are to support and motivate each other! Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." I will pray for you 🙏 ❤
God bless you

For someone who was all into drugs and weed.
I'll tell yout this if it comes between you getting closer to God or if you start getting withdrawals. And if it's a source of need in your life without any prescription ide advise you to quit. Cause then we start to idolize it, and also we have to stay sober minded, and it's just not including drugs and alcohol being sober minded is to live with peace in your mind as well.

Man this is right up my alley.. I’ve hated drinking for a long time now and smoked weed for 15 plus years.. I don’t like going to bars or around people that drink or are drunk. And I’ve also been trying to build a stronger relationship with God. One thing I wanted was to clear my mind and have control over my thoughts.. but when I smoke I can’t control my thoughts nor can I remember my dreams when I smoke. Also I have horrible dreams from past life experiences (which is why I liked to smoke) and I also have insomnia with the same wild compulsive thoughts.. and the one thing after praying for change in these patterns was God said to clear my mind. But when I smoke and wake up in the morning I have a hard time controlling my thoughts.. waking up singing songs from the radio or whatever song I was listening to on Spotify.. and I didn’t like this. I felt as if I was being somewhat brainwashed because these thoughts were the first things I thought of after waking up.. I know it’s weird but now after listening to Gods word (which was to clear my mind) I tried to see how I would feel after I stop smoking for 30 days.. then I would smoke and for some reason I started to not like the effects of being high.. and when I would smoke I would feel my heart racing and going crazy.. when I would read my thoughts were way out of control.. so now I’ve decided it’s just not for me. I’ve also kind of wondered if I ever truly like weed because of my own thoughts or is it because everyone around me did it and all the music I listen to talks about it.. I feel I had a consumerism mentality and fell for something that I’ve never done before just because others were doing it.. Now I’m like 3 months clean of weed after smoking for over 15 years and I’ve never felt better. My smell and taste has increased immensely. After praying about my dreams and sleeping issues God has changed this too. I have now weird but somewhat regular dreams and my sleeping has been normalized compared to what it once was. I also think it says I’m the Bible to not do anything that is mind altering.. and weed alters your mind. Remember if you’re not sure on something ask God. He will answer you 100%! And if you think He isn’t answering you, it’s because He already told you to trust in His word. So that would mean you need to read His word and find your answers there. Always trust in God and His word, He will never mislead us nor deceive us! All glory to our Father in Heaven!
George what i have learned and what my father and preacher told me in the book of jerimiah, is that God cant talk and communicate with us when we are drunkenness whether its alcohol or weed or anything, God is only going to listen to you and talk to you if youre in the right state of mind and sober, (the only exception is if you know u have an addiction or want to stop and you mean it, you can truly talk to him over and over and he will help you over time) this is what truly helped me get off weed and im sober from it over a year, and have been sober from alcohol for about a month, and i have no intention to ever be in the state of drunkiness that way i can communicate with God 24/7
Through scripture, prayer and keeping Christ, I pray we all come to a clear, bold and obvious answer. I battle with these same exact thoughts, let us pray. 💚🙏🏼☝🏽

I have multiple sclerosis I eat cannabis oil every day. It’s the only medication that I take besides vitamins.

As an ex stoner I recognize all the excuses and the cope George is using because I did the same thing, but if he thought it was really good for him he wouldn’t feel the need to defend it and have others approve of it.
I smoke cannabis because I do not like opioids/pain killers. I'm handicapped although handiable because of Jesus Christ.

I Needed This .
I just threw away all of my weed stuff. This video is a reminder of how I have been feeling. I hate that I preach the gospel everyday but then I get high rveryday, I hate that I tell people to be sober minded but the whole time I’m high telling them that. I am DONE. THE DEVIL WILL NOT GET ME NO MORE. All my weed shit is in the fire pit. And I couldn’t be more fuckin proud of myself atthis moment. I’m not even gonna tell people I know. But for the people that don’t know me BUT see this comment. Know that change is POSSIBLE. It can take years, it can take one minute to change. It’s all on YOU. Unfortunately it took me over a year, but maybe it doesn’t have to take you over a year. I love everybody. May god bless everybody. May Jesus set everybody free.
George reaffirms his anxiety each time he said “ I have anxiety “
He’s owning it
Each time
Those two have been putting alot of work in sharing God's Word.
My mind goes to dark sinful places whenever I smoke. It separates me from God. I never want to feel this way again. The Lord has delivered me from my chronic addiction, and I pray that I no longer go back.
I have very bad adhd and would take pills for it in school but didn’t like the way they made me feel so at 15 I started smoking weed after seeing my friends be so chill off of it. I smoked every day and at 22 when my now wife and me started going to church I still smoked even after service and my wife mentioned to me I don’t need weed for anxiety, to concentrate or any other reason I give myself, and told me to pray about it. so I prayed about it and said if it’s wrong before you god please take it out of my life, but kept smoking and one day after service I get home and smoke before sleeping, my heart felt uneasy and I just kept getting thoughts that what I was doing was wrong and I know now it wasn’t just me but it was the Holy Spirit making me feel uneasy and letting me know I don’t need weed but I need more of god and his guidance. Going on one year now and I haven’t even desired to smoke. Everybody has their change at different times but if we feel we are doing something wrong and can’t shake it then know it’s not just in your head, it’s wrong. “The lord is my shepherd: I shall not want”
What i know from my experience with smoking loud is it open doors to demons so I retired from smoking
As a Christian I relate to this so well. I love this open forum being able to express ourselves. As god-fearing Christians but we do partake in the herb. In a good manner not in a way where this overshadows God. Because God will always be above the herb
Ya I dont like that a lot of people say it is a must to be Christian you have to do this. I like to smoke weed, but I can take it or leave it. I just dont like that some people feel you have to leave it in order to have a realtionship with Christ. I feel you can even have a better relationship with Christ by smoking weed. Almost everytime I smoke weed it makes me see clearly how to treat other people. Some days I remember an argument I had with someone months ago and realize how I was wrong for that argument, when im high. It makes me more sensitive to the feelings of others I feel. However that being said it is a drug and should also not be abused.
You're asking all of MY questions!!!!
I've been smoking for 25 years I don't wake up groggy if I smoked the night before, I agree with a lot of things that's being said here like it's easier to focus it's definitely good for calming you down like I have ADHD I was on Ritalin when I was little and this is so much better. I've been smoking since I was 14 years old I'm almost 40 and it's not something that makes you want to go out and do something stupid like alcohol does alcohol gives bad thoughts it always does . If I drink one I need to drink another and then another. Personally I feel like alcohol is the gateway drug it makes you want to do things that you normally wouldn't do, marijuana on the other hand makes you not want to do stuff that can harm you or be outrageous.
I agree I feel like I make safer decisions after smoking marijuana. With that said, I still have this internal struggle with me fighting if it’s okay or not. I feel like I abuse it which I don’t want to do, but I don’t think the plant itself is bad.
I feel it is one of the plants that is there for you to use. It helps with so much including your relationship with the Lord because it makes you contemplative.
No. We shouldn't be getting high at all. And coming from a heavy smoker all my life. It's been almost 3 years free of weed now and I've been following Christ for 13 years. So for 9 years in my walk with Christ it was always a conviction. Thankyou Jesus for breaking chains
This is a conversation I’ve been thinking about myself. Very interesting
I judged George so hard when I first listened to him. But that's probably because I've never heard a person be so incredibly honest and vulnerable about their life. I'm obsessed with this podcast now. Thank you for creating these conversations ❤
