Bible Answer: Hi MRkormmann, Sure this is a bible question. First off, as the above verse says, we can't do anything apart from Christ and that includes quitting smoking. Deliverance of anything from the enemy is well within your grasp. Do not give in to the enemy. Stay in prayer. James 4:7 "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:10 "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up" There's always a way out for us and it's a promise from God. 1 Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it" I will certainly stand with you in prayer to rebuke the enemy and that the desire for smoking be gone in the name of JESUS!! Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven" John 14:13-14 "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14) If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. I can go into more detail here but if you like, you can e-mail me and we'll correspond that way. Just click "childoftheking" and look at my profile. Love in Christ bgg |
