    Cross Interesting reason for quiting smoking

    Quiting smoking is the hardest thing I have ever done. Smoked from age of 13 to 52. I quit 2 years ago because my wife has athsma and was very unhappy with the second hand smoke on my clothes and my smoke breath. She started to make me take a shower after every time I smoked and brush my teeth. After a couple of weeks of that I decided I had to quit smoking to make my marriage work. It also brought me closer to god because our body is the temple of the holy spirit. The urge to smoke never goes away for good but it takes discipline and I avoid smokers in front of me. Good luck quiting.

    I forgot add that quitting any bad habit is HARD!

    Is there anything to hard for the Lord?

    I know what you are thinking....Nothing is too hard for the Lord because He is God!
    But as His children ,don't you think if we read His Word, pray and yes even fasted that God would help us, give us the strength to say "No" to our bad habits more often than yielding to them.

    I am going to try and use my own advice and see if I can break one of my bad habits, no smoking is not one of them....

    Default It's been over a year now since I quit smoking!

    I quit smoking May 28, 2011 and I had intended to stop by on the anniversary this year to let you all know that I had succeeded in quitting for a whole year.

    Well, as you can see I didn't make it in time but I just wanted to encourage all of you who are struggling.

    I had smoked for more than 35 years before I quit last year. I used the patches for several weeks and they did help me quit.

    Quite frankly, I'm amazed that I've actually quit and for this long. I didn't think I could/would, but I did. I'm sure the prayers offered by supporters of this thread helped and I want to thank you for your prayers. Glory be to God!

    God bless and strengthen you all!

    Default Have you been tempted? Temptation is not a sin. To yield to temptation is a sin!

    Saved for a Purpose
    By Paul Chappell


    Thursday, Jun 14, 2012

    "And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death."

    Revelation 12:10-11

    Bible teacher Warren Wiersbe said, “In the Christian life you’re either an overcomer or you’re overcome, a victor or a victim. After all, God didn’t save us to make statues out of us and put us on exhibition. He saved us to make soldiers out of us and move us forward by faith to claim our rich inheritance in Jesus Christ.”

    Every believer has a place in God’s plan for warfare against the enemy. The world has no power to resist the devil. The Bible tells us that they "are taken captive by him at his will" (2 Timothy 2:26). But that is not true for the child of God. We are no longer helpless against Satan, but that is true not because of our strength, but through the blood of Jesus.

    The power of the blood pays the price for our salvation, but it does far more than just that. The same blood that saves us makes us victors—overcomers—by empowering us to win the victory over the temptations and trials that we face. The truth is that our battles are not just for our own benefit. Each of us has a powerful influence on others. Our family members, neighbors, co-workers, and friends at church need us to help them in the battle as well. If we forget the purpose for which God has saved us, we are likely to fall victim to the wiles of Satan. Remain focused today on the calling of God, and rest in His power as you walk with Him.


    Today's Rooted Principle:
    Find your place in God’s purpose today, and you will be an overcomer.

    Default I am excited!! It is okay to fall, yes it okay to fail!!




    Have any of you heard of Heather Dorniden's ? (Inspiring 600 meter race - YouTube)
    www.utube.comwatch?v=70UF82nysIU

    She is in a 600 meter race and she falls, but she gets up and wins the race!!

    Isn't this exciting?


    Heather Dorniden said,
    "I try to tell myself before the start of every race that all things are possible through Christ, and first and foremost I have to send the credit his way, because I certainly didn't feel like I did that all by myself. "


    I am sure that all of our smoke-free winners are winners because...

    They got up and tried again after failing (falling)!
    God gives them the strength to do the impossible!

    Are you willing to get up and try again with the Lord?


    Let us hear from you!


    Oh yes, another reason Heather was a winner!!
    She had cheerleaders!
    I want to be one of your cheerleaders!!

    You can do it with the Lord!!!

    I am now officially 10 years smoke free!

    And! My sister has quit as of last Tuesday! Praise God! She is doing well, not cheating and using the patch. Please keep her in your prayers. I am so very happy she quit, she has a lot of health problems related. But God is faithful.
    Psalm 30:11-12 (New King James Version)

    11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
    You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
    12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
    O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
