IM SIZZLING 4 CHRIST ... are you?

I would try chewing gum, my dad smoked from about the age of 13 till he was 62. If he did it so can anyone else. He tried the chewing gum and it works. Everytime you desire a cigaret pop a piece of gum in your mouth and chew it till the flavor is gone or maybe the duration of smoking a cig. or until the biggest part of the craving goes away. You will find that you go thru alot of gum, but it is cheaper. It will get easier as the days go byAsk God for endurance in the withdrawls. You can even read a scripture verse everytime you chew your gum. With the whole relationship thing God should be your one and only focus. Relationships have a tendency to take our focus off of God and cause drama in our lives that at a young age should not be our focus.

hey i really think its up to God to convict you. it shouldn t be something you do because everyone says its wrong because thats them judging you. listen to what the Holy Spirit instructs and follow his leading. blessings!

~~~~I misses you~~~~

Life is precious and you only get one shot at it so try to keep the body God has given you healthy. If your boyfriend is influencing you to smoke or do anything that you know is wrong, ditch him- theres plenty of good guys out there.

To grow more mature in the Lord, I would suggest reading the first five books of the bible and the psalms over and over until it becomes a natural part of you.

'If You Love Me, Keep My Commandments'

are we talking about normal cigarettes here? if we are then, it is not advisable to smoke. can you be a christian and smoke? yes.

I quit and it is great not to be addicted. if it is any other sort of smoking, get out of it now. it is unscriptural, it is a sin! those that smoke illegal drugs are in danger of not being saved at all

you said, you have a boyfriend. make sure you live holy before the Lord. God does not allow christians to live in serious habitual sin, like fornication. I also would not recommend living together before marriage. those that say do not judge are ignorant of what Jesus meant. we are not to judge the heart, but the fruit.

God decides who is saved. check out this site and its teachings, it will radically change your faith, it did mine.

thanks for reading this, those that will flatter you, will lie to you. those that care speak the truth in love. the bible says that open rebuke is better than secret love.

Have you shared the true Gospel with the lost lately?

Pray and ask God to take the desire out of your mind and your mouth. Then try excersing whenever the crave to smoke come until you no longer want to smoke, which will only take a bout ten(10) minutes. It worked for me and I've not had one in nine(9) years.

Blessed to be a blessing from God

FIRST OF ALL YOU DO NEED TO REALIZE THAT NOBODY IS PERFECT AND THAT YOU ARE DOING TO RIGHT THING WHICH IS FIRST REALIZING THAT YOU ARE IN THE WRONG AND FOR TRYING TO CHANGE THAT. YOU ARE TAKING THE FIRST STEP WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. SECONDLY YOU MUST SUBMIT TO GOD WHICH MEANS THAT YOU MUST BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL WORK THINGS OUT ON YOUR BEHALF AND HAVE FAITH COMPLETELY IN EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO AND ALSO IN EVERY PROBLEM THAT YOU HAVE. THEN YOU MUST LAST BUT NOT LEAST COMMIT TO GOD AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE AND BE CONSISTENT AND GOD WILL DO THE REST.
YOURS TRULY,
