Subject: Exgays only - tell how to stop being gay |
Bible Note: I will pray like it was me for you both. I have not had that experience but I use to be a heavy smoker before the Lord Jesus saved me. I tried to quit on my own for years. But I couldn't I was hooked. I mean really hooked. (now this was before the gum and all of these new fangled products)I used to turn over in my bed and take a hit off a cigarette them resume sleeping. Somehow even before I accepted Christ I knew I had to be new. (Now this is not to say that you can't not be saved and smoke I knew that it wasn't the way the Lord would have for me.) Then one day I read where if any man was in Christ he would be a new creature 2 cor 5 vs. 17. I began to tell the Lord all about me and my habit. I wasn't saved at the time but I was going to this church and I wanted salvation so bad. That if someone had of told me to climb to the top of the empire state building I would have. One day I decided to go to a church service and out of the clear blue sky the Pastor asked me if I wanted Christ in my life. I began to weep bitterly, (I had already made up in my mind that after that church service I wasn't going to attend church again, I thought that maybe I had did something to bad for the Lord Jesus to save me) But as sure as I am writing The Lord Jesus and His father came in and made their abode in me. And with it came complete deliverance from smoking. I never needed a patch, or gum. I never experience any side effects like weight gain, or moodiness and I have been free for 19 years now. I know that it is no comparison to your problem. But it was a problem a life style I had to deal with. I did have to do what you did though I had to find the originator of my smoking. It started when I was 13, I use to watch my siblings do it and it seemed like fun at first. Then it elevated to me lighting there cigarettes on the stove for them and taking puffs to lit it and taking it to them. Before you know it I was holding cigarettes and pulling off of them while one of my older brothers was lifting weights. Before long I was hooked. I know that there is no comparison, but I do know that if you continue to go before the Lord and tell him all about your problem. And when you despise it as much as GOD despises sin you will receive complete healing from that thing I believe it. To be in a room with smoke literally sends me into convulsions no lie. I will pray fervently for you both because I know what God is able to do. And remember some things comes by fasting and prayer Matthew 17 vs. 21...My prayer partner and I will wear heaven out for you.... |
