| If you're bound
up in tobacco, alcohol, drugs, or any other filthy habit of the flesh... Turn
it over to God. |

| If you will
surrender all to Christ, he will be faithful to deliver you from all these
things. The devil had me hooked on cigarettes for 21 years. The Devil had me convinced for years that I could never serve God, cause I could never quit smoking, and I just loved smoking my pot, my Rock and Roll/ Heavy Metal music. I was deceived. You see, when you truly get saved, and get hold of God, it's not that you have to quit all these things. But it's that you want to give it all up, cause your deepest desire will be to serve, and please God. God would be unfair to require something of you that's not possible. He knows we are weak. The Bible says; 2 Cor. 12:9-10 (KJV) And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. [10] Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. |

| within yourself
you can't do these things, but through the power working in you (Christ) you
can do it. He will give you the grace to do it. It is through him, and him
only, that you can conquer your flesh, which is necessary to live a holy
life. Please do not let anything stand in your way to serving God! |
