re:Tamptation

Dear Tracey3,
I have had such a hard life,fighting the tamptation of alcohol.I just keep having to give it to god and he always makes a way for me,but i know Jesus want's us to treat our bodys like a temple.You just have to keep praying and keep your eyes on the Father.1 co10:13 says Ther hath no tamptation taken you but such as is common to man;but GOD is faithfull,who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able;but will with the temptation also make a way to escape,that ye may be able to bear it.Re3:19 says As many as I love,I rebuke and chasten:be zealous therefore,and repent.
Love your brother in Christ Jesus...JOSEPHSCOAT... ..:shade:

You Are Free Indeed!

I am a full believing Christian. I unfortunately have many additions. Working through them slowly. One I struggle with is confusing me. I smoke grass and fill very Holy when I do I seem to concentrate more and fill the presence of my Lord. I have been doing this for many years. Off and On. I feel that it is like a medicine bringing me closer to God. Please give me some feed back. I am struggling with this one. Thank you

If he is with you, who can be against you..

I'm sorry to say but when you smoke grass and say feel much feel the presence of God, I think it's just your emotions playing with you. for smoking grass activates your physical senses.We must not rely on feelings but by His Word Trace. When God said he loves you believe even if you don't feel it.And you're right in saying that God is freeing you from that.just continue surrendering it to God and when you do it again, aask His forgiveness (IJN1:9)says you're forgiven if you confess your sins to Him.Ask God for more grace in that situation Jer.33:3 and he will give you.Ask God to work in you and He will.God bless you Trace. God loves you very much.

Truth about that phat boy

I am very disturbed by the posts claiming that marijuana taken in certain ways is OK. Or that there is nothing wrong with it. That is completely false, and I can't believe Christians are condoning it. That euphoric feeling you are getting when you smoke it is anything but holy. It is the same thing when people drink too much or do other drugs, inhibitions fall. I will be praying that Jesus will help you kick that habit and you will be filled with the Holy spirit. Now that's a rush!

God bless,
Jeff

I am free

Thank you all for all your kind words.. and encouragement. I have not smoked pot in nearly 3 weeks and I have no desire to do.. I was at a Mother's day barbque Sunday. I was offered it and declined. Not even having a craving. Thank you My Lord and Saviour. I know that I am done with it. I have started to take my prozac one week ago. I will stay on it..

Please another subject comes up... I have been married 16 years and my husband is a big time alcoholic and he does smoke up for time to time. The alcoholic is killing me along with my 2 children ages 15 and 13. I am seriously thinkilng of leaving him. Have for some time now. I am afraid, I think it is a sin to leave. Divorce. But I am so unhappy and my husband can be abusive with his mouth. Any suggestions. I have prayed and tried to get him to go for help but to no avail.. My children are hurting inside but thank God there are still sane.

God Bless. Praise his Holy Name.. My Sweet Jesus..

Hi

I m glad you are doing better and I pray you are completely delivered. I do want to say tho that marijuana affects the mind and emotions. You were having an emotional high . Thats what drugs do. Even people who say they don’t know God say when they get high on drugs they feel close to God and are in heaven : utopia they say. But they are decieved – the enemy gives a false peace. This is not the true God we know. We can only know Him if we repent (turn from sin), and ask Him to be the Lord of every part of our life.

You were probably using this as a temporary escape from the pressures at home. As you said in another post , its true Jesus said for a man not to put his wife away (divorce) except for adultery. And what is right for a man is also the same for the woman. He didn’t say we can pick up and leave when we are unhappy or the going gets rough. But if violence is putting all of you in “physical” danger that is a different matter. A woman can leave but remain single, or either be reconciled to her husband. He is not talking about divorce but separation- until the man can get some things in his life straightened out. I will be praying for you. If you need to talk send me a private message.

Matthew 19: 9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.


Mark 10:12And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery

1 Cor. 7: 10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.


1 Corinatians 7:39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

Tracey 3, My prayers are with you. I think the enemy is having his way with you. It's time you won this battle! I beleive that we all have battles , most are the battle of the mind. The Holy Spirit dwells within us. He is our teacher. He lets us know when we are making right choices by the peace and joy we get when we do what pleases God. On the other hand the enemy has come to rob, kill and destroy us. He wants to rob us of our peace, especially us Christians! Confussion comes when we hear both voices, the one from inside, the Holy Spirit, and the one from outside, the enemy.

The Holy Spirt lives within us, we hear His voice from inside.

The enemy attacks us from outside . When we hear his voice we become confused because it goes against what we are hearing from inside. We try to reason what we are hearing...it's OK, it's not hurting anyone.....lies...it is hurting you. If something does not honor God then it is not from God.

God overcame the enemy when Jesus rose from the grave. We have to know that the enemy cannot hurt us. God is in charge of our lives. However, we must know the Word to fight the enemy. Scriptue teaches us that the enemy walks around AS a roaring lion. (if he were a lion, the Word would not say "As" But, we know he has no teeth, he can not hurt us.

Look up "battle of the mind" , "enemy" , "confussion". As you dig into the word you will be arming your self to fight the enemy and the battle in the mind.

Stop and think about the thoughts that enter your mind. You can choose to dwell on those from the Holy Spirit or those from the enemy. Recognize who the thought is from and act accordingly. If it's from the Holy Spirit dwell upon it. If it's from the enemy use the power dwelling within you. Praise the Lord.. The enemy cannot stay where there is praise.

Concerning the grass...., Personally, if there is a question about anything, I stay away from it. If God does not receive Glory from my actions or if there is a chance I may cause someone else to stumble why would I want to go there? Some will say it's OK, some will say it's not..confusing ... Confusion does not come from God..if it's not from God, then who? (Just my thought on the matter)

You are a child of the King. Reach for all that is yours!!!!!!

We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.....

From your last post I see that you are kind of stuck in between a rock and a hard place because of the Abuse. I remember my Pastor speaking about how God wants us to be married to the ones we made our vows with to Him. But he did say there are provisions under God's laws in the marriage when there is abuse. You should not allow yourself to be abused, your children are paying for it and they will for many years after. You need to get help. Is there a Pastor you can speak with to get Godly councel? You need to get yourself out of the situation.

 

[gentle]

It's a false feeling grass is giving you. Just continue in the Lord and when you fall, ask God's forgiveness, surrender it to God, cry it out to God and continue your walk with the Lord Jesus. Just keep on keeping on. Don't be weary in surrendering it to God and asking Him to change you and he will. We have things to surrender to God, not only you. The Key: Continue in the Lord and never tire of asking forgiveness to Him and surrendering it to him and asking him to change you and replace it with his character temperance. Change is a lifetime process. And we all go through it although not the same circumstance but the same situations.
God bless us. Peace is with us.

The hightest I have ever been ?Was just talking with the LORd .It is true ,nothing entering your body can defile you .But the LORD said ?Don"t do anything that makes you stumble.Also we are to count our selves dead in CHRIST JESUS .I can honestly say?Anything that make us not think well .Can cause us great problems.I will say?The body of CHRIST JESUS has many sick people taking many drugs.I do not think this is GODS perfect way .But still HE LOVES us all.We all seem to have weaknesses.I pray the LORD helps you over come these desires.At best ?Its a waste of money .plus when your stoned .You can not think well .it affects your thinking and make you forgetful.And affects your judgement .Which in turn can lead to serious sins and even death .These are just my thoughts on it .I know something about it!

Is your husband a believer? Do you want you marriage to work? If needed you can seprate for a time without getting divorced. I was asked once by someone who wanted some marital counsel what was my success rate? I answered not very good because generally when most would come for counsel, they really had already made up their mind and wanted to get justification for divorce and not counsel on how to get back their marriage. It's so ludicrous, we will maintenace or service our cars, homes, toys(big and small), and ourselves but we won't put much into our relationships and then can't figure out why they don't last.

Malachi 2:16
For I hate divorce!” says the Lord, the God of Israel. “It is as cruel as putting on a victim’s bloodstained coat,” says the Lord Almighty. “So guard yourself; always remain loyal to your wife.”

Now if you will be patient, and allow God to work, things will change. God has not given a believer the right to divorce. If your spouse is not a beliver and wants to divorce you God's word says to give it to them, but they are divorcing you.

1Corinthians 7:12-16
12*Now, I will speak to the rest of you, though I do not have a direct command from the Lord. If a Christian man* has a wife who is an unbeliever and she is willing to continue living with him, he must not leave her. 13*And if a Christian woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he is willing to continue living with her, she must not leave him. 14*For the Christian wife brings holiness to her marriage, and the Christian husband brings holiness to his marriage. Otherwise, your children would not have a godly influence, but now they are set apart for him. 15*(But if the husband or wife who isn’t a Christian insists on leaving, let them go. In such cases the Christian husband or wife is not required to stay with them, for God wants his children to live in peace.) 16*You wives must remember that your husbands might be converted because of you. And you husbands must remember that your wives might be converted because of you.

What if your spouse is a believer and wants a divorce? Follow Jesus' counsel.

Matthew 18:15-17
15*“If another believer* sins against you, go privately and point out the fault. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back. 16 But if you are unsuccessful, take one or two others with you and go back again, so that everything you say may be confirmed by two or three witnesses. 17 If that person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. If the church decides you are right, but the other person won’t accept it, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector.

It takes time to deal with any relationship and we should always allow God to move and work if we want our relationship to be restored. Jesus gave the best advice concerning failing relationships.

Revelation 2:5
Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

When you have a relationship where the other was been hurt and is distancing themselves from you, do whatever you did in the beginning that drawed that person to you. Do your fist works over. It takes time and patience, but in most cases the efforts are rewarded with a restored relationship.
