Just an example of the state of our world and the growing path of wickedness !!!!

My testimony how Jesus delivered me from smoking addiction,

There are some things we don't like to
talk about, and those are our
failures in life.
I want to talk about this one, because
it was a problem to me.
When I got back-slidden and I went away
from Jesus, one of the bad things I did -
I started smoking.
And I regretted it, but I smoked for 12 years,
10, 12 years, the time that I
was away from the Lord.
But when I came back to Jesus, I wanted
to stop smoking with all my heart.
The other sins that beset me were easy
to set apart - I just stopped doing them.
But people, I could not stop smoking,
I could not kick the habit.
And I had tried so many times in my life
before that to stop smoking, and then I
was desparate to stop smoking because
here I am, I've come back to Jesus -
- I've repented with all my heart, and I said,
"Lord, I want to serve you with all my heart,
but I got this stinking cigarette."
And I smoked a pipe and all kinds of trash,
but I couldn't stop smoking, and it ate at me.
I didn't have confidence to pray anymore
because all I tried, I just could not.
It was a demon that was in me, the
smoke was -- it had me.
And it affected my life as a Christian, as
a disciple, because I'm dedicated to
Jesus, but I can't kick the habit.
And I cried to God and said,
"Lord Jesus, please help me, I want
to stop smoking."
And the more I prayed and the more I
cried, the harder it became and I
couldn't stop smoking.
It was just like an insurmountable
problem to me.
Until one day I gave up and said,
"Lord, I love You, and You know my heart -
I want to serve You with all my life.
And if I'm going to die smoking, that's
fine with me, but you know I love You
and I want to follow You with all my heart.
And I got my eyes off the smoke
and my eyes onto Jesus.
It was about a day or so later, two days,
I cannot remember, I walked into a
collegue's office and he said to me -
"Jan, why do you smoke?"
I said, "Man, I hate it."
He says, "Well, who don't you just stop?"
I said, "What do you mean?"
He says, "Well, take that cigarette and tell it -
I don't need you, I don't want you, get
away from me."
It sounds silly because I tried to stop smoking
so many times before.
I walked out and over to my office, and
I sat there and I took this packet of
cigarettes and I said - "You're not my
boss anymore, Jesus is my boss."
I put it down and I never smoked again.
The smoke left me, I didn't stop,
that smoke demon left me because I
got my eyes on Jesus.
Where previously if I tried to stop smoking,
I just had to put away all tobacco products
from me, and if people smoked close to me,
then I got the craving.
I had no craving!
I had no withdrawal symptoms.
I never craved for smoking again.
Previously, I'd stop smoking for a few days,
then somebody smokes a cigar in front of
me, and then I could be, like, puffing,
inhaling his smoke.
It was gone!
The smoke had left me.
My Friends, Jesus sets us free, but when we've got
our eye on our problem, then our problem becomes
big, HUGE - it becomes bigger than Christ.
When we set our eyes on Christ to glorify Him
and to satisfy Him, then these other things
fall away like dirty rags.
And I thank God not just for delivering me.
Just saying, "Lord, please deliver me from the smoke,
and puff it goes - no.
He made me suffer, because we learn from
what we suffer, and I suffered.
What I also learned from this is that many
Christains are hypocrites, and
I was a hypocrite.
Because they think, well, I've never sinned and
I'm better than that guy - I was like that.
But I had to come low to realize that
I'm nothing, man.
And that it is all about Jesus!
I had to be addicted to that thing to realize only
Jesus can set me free.
It is not about anything else but about the
Lordship of Jesus Christ, putting Him first
in our lives, and then He delivers
us from everything
The other thing is it's not because you don't smoke
that God loves, it's because your are pure
in heart.
It doesn't bring you closer to God if you can
attain your own holiness, no.
It's obedience that matters in the sight of God,
and I had to learn first that I could not make myself
acceptable to God by stopping smoking - I couldn't!
I couldn't help myself!
But when I handed it all over and I said -
"Lord, I love you any way," He
delivered me because He loves me.
I'm nothing, My Friends -
Jesus is everything.
My testimony is about Jesus and what Jesus has
done for me and what He will do for you
if you trust Him - it's not about me.
Me?
I'm a failure, but Jesus has picked me up
and Jesus can use any old vessel that makes
himself available to Christ.
But we must come with a pure heart and submit
ourselves to Christ.
You don't need to kick the habit -
it will leave you by itself.
Just get your eyes on Jesus, My Friend.
May Jesus Bless You.

Yes. Galatians 1:7-8 ..but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

1John 5:10 ..he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

The Devils came out in full force as the word of God went forth with power and authority. Praise God a brother in the Lord obeyed baptism in the name of Jesus Christ the same day because of the preaching of Gods Holy Word..

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. -Phil. 4:8

Many believers have been fooled and severely disappointed by rapture predictions that did not materialize. Jesus never promised to broadcast His intended date of return, He said that He would be coming like a thief in the night and we must be ready, all the time, waiting for Him. Ever since those rapture predictions that failed, many people have died without knowing Jesus. Even today many people will die unprepared. Eternal life is KNOWING JESUS for real and HIM KNOWING us FOR REAL.
You cannot work a relationship in 5 minutes in a quick preparation, like so many have done and then when the rapture prediction did not materialize they fell back into the world. They never knew Jesus anyway! They never had a real relationship with Him anyway.
Dear friend, if you want to have eternal life and spend eternity with Jesus, you have to be real with Him. You have to follow Him every day of your life, for real. You cannot fool Him. He knows your heart. If you want to spend eternity with Jesus then you had better love Him, you had better start that relationship NOW! Set yourself aside for Him and LIVE FOR HIM. You cannot prepare in five minutes, friend.
Do you have a real relationship with Jesus? Do you know Him? He will say to many people in that day:"Go away I never knew you." Friend, what will Jesus say to you if you would die right now? Are you ready? You can be ready, if you make up your mind to be serious and get down on your knees and cry out to Jesus with true repentance. You turn away from sin, you confess every sin you have ever done in your life, with remorse! Cry out for mercy and you ask Him to accept you as a child of God , and then you keep on seeking Him, keep on serving Him, for real! Making a quick "rapture preparation" cannot save anybody, friend. Get real with Jesus, while you still have the opportunity.
May Jesus bless you.

Whatever we do, we do for the glory of the Lord. When you live for the world and claim to follow Jesus, you don’t follow Him at all. At the same time though, we’re not called to be hermits living underneath a rock as many “Christians” perceive.

We serve the one who laid His life down and rose again for us; that we would deny ourselves and follow Him daily, not to just follow Him for two hours on Sunday and snuff Him to the side for the next six days.

Many people are demon oppressed and possessed, addicted to substances, driven by fear and anxiety - the devil is destroying them.
