I've Promised My God That I Won't Smoke Ever Again.
"I'm a 17 year old female who started smoking to just 'try it out.' I have these two friends who
aren't Christians and had been smoking in front of me for so long I just had the urge to give it a go. Also, my best friend decided to
do the same thing and so since we were best friends it grew to be something we did together. Of course I'd heard about all the effects
of smoking but as I kept on trying and trying I kept on telling myself I would not become addicted. This was in October or November 2009.
To the day, 19th June 2010, I still did not believe there was a problem until I tried to sleep that night. I was planning my lose weight
regime and all of a sudden the fact that I had been smoking hit me very hard. I'm an aspiring singer and I knew that smoking was the
cause of the stand-still in my voice (it was not improving), so I decided to look on google for a way to quit. I did this and found a
site which suggested to pick a day to stop and I picked next week. However, after I had done a bit of planning, I still did not feel
right about the plan and I could not go back to sleep. As I was trying, something said to me 'look up verses to help stop bad habits
in the Bible'. This site was the first site to appear on google. I looked at the other sites and thought 'this site is first for a
reason and it seems good'. I'm telling you that my life has changed since I declared myself free and told the devil that he cannot dwell
in me anymore. All his lies, all his deceit was washed away after I read the testimonies on the site and I knew the devil had played me
for a fool. God would never do that and so I've promised my God that I won't smoke ever again. I'm throwing my cigarettes away tomorrow
and I feel for the first time happy about it. I thank God so much for sending me to this site and for letting me know I was free a long
time ago, I just needed to truly acknowledge that. Praise God! I can now get back to singing in church like I used to :)"

After That Prayer A Month Ago, I Haven't Had A Cigarette Since. Praise God !
"I was smoking for seven years, and I found this page. I knew that if I wanted to be closer to God,
there were things that I had to give up. So, I decided to quit smoking. I struggled, then finally I type in "How to Quit smoking
the Chrisitian way" and all of a sudden, this site popped up. I read it because I really wanted to stop, and I wrote down the prayer.
Went to the bathroom and really believed in my heart that this prayer would take over. I am 20 years old and after that prayer a month
ago, I haven't had a cigarette since. Praise God!"

The Testimonies I Read Here Just Gave Me More Strength.
I Bounded Satan And Gave Him The Boot...Praise God For Delivering Me.
"I actually decided to quit smoking the day of my cousin's wedding (March 27th, 2010). I quit
smoking afterwards while visiting a friend after the wedding. I use to hate cigarettes before I started smoking and don't know where or
why the craving hit me to try it. The misleading thing about smoking, the lie that traps you is that you're in control of your addiction
but, you're not. Cigarettes determined my need for smoking them when I woke up in the morning, after I ate a meal, talking on the phone,
walking around outside, going to the bathroom, a whole host of activities. These normal, everyday activities had to be accompanied by
smoking and I felt weird doing them without cigarettes. I wanted to get my life back to the way it was before I started smoking. There
was one verse in the Bible that kept echoing in my head which is 1 Corinthians 6:12. The New Living Translation says "You say, "I am
allowed to do anything"--but not everything is good for you. And even though "I am allowed to do anything," I must not become a slave
to anything." That's when I made the decision to stop. I hate the smell of cigarettes. I didn't even like the taste of them but, I kept
right on smoking. The sensation of inhaling and exhaling smoke had me feeling like I was releasing my stress, another lie from satan
because I should have taken my problems to God. What can be solved by smoking? Nothing. I also knew that God frowned upon it and since
He blessed me with a beautiful singing voice, I knew I HAD to quit before I ruined it. I am very thankful for the talent of singing
because it is something I love to do that is carried with me everywhere I go. I googled smoking and Christianity and found this website.
I already had my mind made up to stop smoking the day before. The testimonies I read just gave me more strength. I binded satan and gave
him the boot. I renounced smoking and praised God for delivering me and healing the damage I had done to my body. Now I'm looking forward
to binding more things in my life and opening myself up to more of God's blessings. Bless everyone on their walk with God and from their
release from addiction of all kinds. Amen"

I Found This Website And The Powerful Prayer!
I Said It And Wow, I Felt The Power Of God Literally.
From That Moment I Have Not Smoked Another Cigarette, Not Even A Goodbye Cigarette!
"I have to give GOD all the praise and glory for setting me free from smoking! I love the LORD with
all my heart and desired to quit this stinky, health and money thief! I was ashamed, so I was a secret smoker, I hated it, but I also
liked smoking. God knew my heart, I desired to put him first and serve him over smoking. I had been pondering all of this in my heart
and mind, on February 8, 2010, I decided to look up what other Christians were doing about this nasty habit, I found this website and
the powerful prayer!! I had just bought a new carton of cigarettes and was on the 3rd pack. I saw the prayer and I said it and wow, I felt
the power of God literally, I knew that something had just happened! From that moment I have not smoked another cigarette, didn't even
have a goodbye cigarette! I knew that I was going to quit, just not that soon! I have not had cravings or withdrawals, period... It has
been like a dream, God really took it all when he touched me! A few times I would start to think about it and automatically I would
say "never again in Jesus Name." No problem, he heard me everytime I called out for help, the thoughts would leave instantly and this
only happened a few times! God is so AWESOME, for me this has been so easy, it has been unbelievable, my husband is amazed at how easy
it has gone, no ill moments or mood swings!! Just stay busy and pray, ask him for help IMMEDIATELY if the thought comes into your mind,
SHUT IT DOWN INSTANTLY, don't give satan a foothold or crevice, don't entertain those old thoughts of smoking!!! Thank you my heavenly
FATHER, I give you all the praise and glory!!!!"

I'm 18 And Pregnant With My First Child.
I Prayed To God To Give Me Strength To Quit And Went A Whole Day Without Smoking.
"I've been smoking for 4 years. I'm 18 years old, pregnant with my first child at almost 20 weeks.
I didn't want to smoke no more. I stopped smoking yesterday and didn't crave for a cigarette as much as I thought I would. I prayed to
God to give me the strength to quit and my father prayed for me too. I could never go an hour without one and all of a sudden when I
prayed, I went a WHOLE day without smoking. That's a big improvement for me. He blessed with a baby, a baby girl at that. Now I can
say He truly blessed me with the strength to quit."

This Website Changed My Life! I Read The Salvation Prayer And I Stopped
Smoking, Drinking and Cursing And Let Jesus Come Into My Life.
"This website changed my life! I wanted to quit smoking and in January I Googled, "prayer to quit
smoking ", not thinking I was going to go through this all the way and then I seen this website and clicked and read the page on quiting
and how satan wants people to smoke, I did the prayer. I then got interested and opened the Bible study center and then that led me to
the salvation prayer of this site. I read on the page and then read the salvation prayer outside in a low voice, and meant it this time.
I said what the heck might as well try. I felt changed and then my life has changed, I stopped smoking, no problem, then I wanted to stop
drinking and I did! I slowly stopped cursing outloud, I still slip the very beginning of a curse word sometimes but I stop and catch
myself and ask for forgivness! Any willful sins I have always done now I just pray for the desire to stop and let Jesus come in my life
now that it belongs to him. Thanks for your wonderful website."

I Laid My Burden At My Womens Church Ministry Retreat.
They Laid Hands On Me And We All Felt The Electricity Of The Lord.
I Did Not Smoke The Duration Of The Retreat And Threw The Pack Out My Car Window.
"I was at a retreat with the women from my Womens Church Ministry. The day I drove up to the
secluded area where the retreat were to happen I smoked about a half of a pack. I knew that I would be too embarrassed to smoke
around all of the women that would be there, so I left my pack in the car. During the retreat I never tried to sneak off to try to
smoke and rarely ever thought of it. On the second day I confessed to the women in my group that I was struggling with a conviction.
Eventually I confessed to them and laid my burden as God had directed me to do. The ladies gathered around me and laid hands. We all
felt the electricity of the Lord during that prayer. I did not smoke the duration of the retreat and when I got into my car to drive
home after that long weekend of rejoicing in the Lords light, I sprayed some air freshener and threw the pack out the window. Yeah,
I may have been a litter that one time, but it was worth it to never have a pack of cigarettes in my hand again!"

I Believe That The Holy Spirit Led Me To This Fantastic Website
I Very Boldly Cast Out Satan And The Spririt Of Addiction From My Life
I Could Sense Jesus Releasing Me From The Bondage Of Smoking
I Have Not Smoked Since That Evening And I Have No Desire To Smoke At All.
"I have been a smoker for many years (over 30 years) and I have tried all sorts of aids to stop
smoking, from patches to the pills as well as trying the cold turkey method but nothing stopped my filthy habit. About a month ago I
Googled God and smoking and found this site...I believe that The Holy Spirit led me to this fantastic website. I prepared myself to
stop smoking by reading all of the testimonies on the site and setting the time to have my last smoke at 11pm on the 27th October.
I then very boldly cast out satan and the spirit of addiction from my life. Following this I prayed your prepared prayer and I could
sense Jesus releasing me from the bondage of smoking straight-away. I then prayed in tongues for a while and gave heartfelt thanks to
God before heading to bed... I have not smoked since that evening and I have no desire to smoke at all - Hallelujah. Thank you Jesus.
Amen."

The Holy Spirit Whispered To My Spirit,
"Look For HOW TO QUIT SMOKING GOD'S WAY On Google."
I Quit Smoking And I Will Never Ever Touch It Again.
"Hi my name is Diaa. Am Lebanese and I've been suffering from smoking since the first
day of my salvation 2 years back. I tried many times to quit smoking by my own force by I couldn't. I prayed a lot, a
even went to a fast but each time I found my self puffing again in less than 24 hours. I was in the office last Friday
and I asked the Lord to lead my day, and Holy Spirit whispered to my spirit, "Look for HOW TO QUIT SMOKING GOD'S WAY on
Google", and I was impressed that I found a website with the same name. I went through the website, reading the testimony
and I felt that's it. I am free I felt like I am having a new breath and I am free. Then a colleague came to my office
and he asked me to join him at the smoking room so it came out from my mouth: "I quit smoking and I will never ever
touch it again in my life." As soon as I testified it witnessed with my spirit and from that moment I was free. I went
home with the anointing over me and I told my dad who is not a beleiver yet that I quit smoking so he decided to quit
as well. Our home is now SMOKE FREE. It has been 4 days but I am sure that I am sure that I will never touch it again in
Jesus Name. Praise God finally I was delivered from this bad habit. You cannot imagine how the devil use it during those
2 years to destroy me and to bring bad testemony to Jesus name especially from my mother. I pray that everyone who reads
this testemony will be set free from smoking forever. God Bless you. I love you I am praying for you."

I Am A Believer That God Directed Me Here
In The Name of Jesus, I Am Free From Nicotine.
"I have been battling smoking for 30 years. Began smoking at age 12 but tried stopping 30
yrs ago. I gave up I never could say no to the obsession. As of lately I have been wearing the patch and sneaking cigarettes.
I researched the dangers of the combination and it is devastating ... cardiac failure at best. I called a friend and shared my
dilemma, he told me he quit 3 months ago by asking God for help one day at a time... so I got off the phone, asked God for
help...turned to my computer and typed in "quitting smoking and God" ... I found this website. I read testimonies shared by
others... I am a believer that God directed me here...so a day at a time, the journey has begun. Thank you for being here for
people, in the name of Jesus, I am free from nicotine."

I Heard a Voice Say, "What Does The Lord Say About Giving Up Smoking?"
So I Googled God and Smoking and Found This Site.
"My Lord my God. I awoke early this morning with my usual thought of having a cigarette
with my cup of tea, and as I sat there I heard a voice say "What does the Lord say about giving up smoking?". So I googled
God and smoking and found this site. I have wanted to be delivered from my addiction for many years and after saying the
prayer I have destroyed the cigarettes I had left and I feel that I have power and the Lord has delivered me from this addiction."

I Was Scrolling The Net and Came Across This Website,
Almost As Though God Himself Directed Me To It.
I Could Literally Feel God Release Me From The Bondage
That Held Me Captive 12 Years!
"I just want to firstly commend the person who started this website, it is truly an inspiration
that glorifies our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I have found over the years that each time I have tried to quite smoking, the moment
I start, I would feel deprived so that instead of focusing on God, I would focus instead on my own deprivation. Of course I would start
smoking again! I wouldn't even last a day! Four nights ago I was scrolling the net and came across this website, almost as though God
Himself directed me to it. I prayed the prayer on here that very night and found myself breaking down in tears. It was as though I
could literally feel God release me from the bondage that has held me captive for the past 12 years. The next morning I awoke and
instead of feeling FEAR that I wouldnt be smoking anymore, I felt EXCITEMENT. I felt like for the first time in 12 years, I was now
FREE!!!! Today is my 3rd day of being smoke free, and it is amazing. I never thought I would be HAPPY when first quitting. I never
thought I would feel FREE. In the past, I have always, always felt so deprived, as though I was being a martyr! The feelings I have
now, well- nothing compares. When you know God has literally set you free, all you feel is an overwhelming sense of gratitude, joy
and an inner peace that the world cannot ever offer you when trying to quit THEIR way. I urge all of you- SEEK GOD. BELIEVE He can
and WILL SET YOU FREE."

I Tried The "Quit Smoking God's Way" and It Worked!
I Searched For "Christian Support For Quit Smoking" Which
Led Me To This Site But Really I Think It Was The Holy Spirit.
"I always thought I could never stop smoking. There was even a time when I didn't want to.
It was the beginning of this year when I really though about quitting. Both my step-mom and best friend quit smoking. I started
visting quit smoking sites. Order booklets in the mail. I tried on easter but couldn't do it. One day I was on the web and I
put in the search for christian support for quit smoking. Which led me to this site. But really I think it was the Holy Spirit.
I tried the "Quit Smoking God's way". And it worked. After I prayed I had one hit of a cigarette and I threw it away. I haven't
had one in 9 days with really no withdrawls. And I have no desire to go to back. God took this burden from me. He's freed me from
the bondage of smoking and He can do the same for you."

It's Been Three Months Since I've Quit Smoking.
I'm Thankful For Having Such A Wonderful Lord.
"I'm 26 years old and have been a smoker since I was 16. I tried everything to give up smoking,
the gum, the pills, cold turkey, carrots and some things that are just too off the wall to name. Well, I got sick of being frustrated
with myself. I knew it had done been time for me to quit. I did some research on the web on the most effective ways to quit, lo
and behold, the one with the highest success rate (by a long shot!) was God. Go figure right :). I came accross this website and prayed.
I prayed that the Lord would help me with this horrible addiction that I obviously could not control or stop on my own. I prayed for
him to give me a spirit of self control and through his will to strengthen mine. While I was praying I kept getting that pesky little
voice in my head, telling me the usual, I can't do it, God can't help, maybe it's just meant that I smoke. But then a word came to me
and asked me, is it true that Jesus blamelessly died for your sins? Yes, I answered in my mind. Is it true that God raised Jesus from
the dead thus defeating death? Yes, again. Well if that's all true then it must also be true that when Jesus said anything that you ask
in my name shall be given unto you. I felt a little silly, no not for the dialog going in my head as that's kinda normal for me :) but
for not trusting in the Lord. So I prayed again, this time much stronger. You know the feeling you get when you pray with conviction
knowing that your giving your whole heart and your words are being received, that light feeling of the Lords love. I prayed "Lord Jesus,
I thank you for your sacrifice and I thank you that by doing so you have freed me from this bondage called smoking, that I don't need
to try to do it on my own, that you will do it for me as you promised. I thank you Lord and I love you. And from this day forward I
will no longer be a prisoner of this addiction. In Jesus name I pray, Amen. It's been three months since I've quit smoking. I'd be
lying to say it's been easy and I have no desire, because I do. But the lord helps me during those time as well. When I feel like I
want to smoke, I just recognize it for what it is, a lie. Jesus has already freed me from this and his promise was and is truth,
anything else, such as me wanting to smoke, is a lie. I'm thankful for having such a wonderful Lord. He can do it for you too. Thank you
Jesus for helping these people as you've helped me!"

I Was Smoking At Least 2-3 Packs Per Day For Over 30 Years.
It's Been Almost Two Days Now. I Feel Like On A Spiritual High.
No Cravings Or Reactions. This Is A Miracle From God.
"I had been smoking for over 30 years only to get worse after raising three grandkids in the past
two years. I was smoking at least 2-3 packs per day if not more sometimes. I turned to that more than God. I recently was rebaptised but
I also had dreams and felt God was telling me something as to my burdens. So last week the preacher prayed over my smoking problem and
then I found this site and prayed for at least 24 hours fasting from the smokes. Well I turned again to the smokes for three hours and I
smoked 7 and then I said the prayer again with much more meaning and praise God I am not wanting none. It's been almost two days now.
No cravings or reactions of not having any. Not even ill. I feel like I'm on a spiritual high since then and I even give a testimony at church.
This is a miracle from God and I know that if you believe strong in Him anything is possible. Praise God each and every moment."

I've Felt The Power Of This Before And To My Stupidity I chose To Smoke Again.
The Feeling That I Just Received Is Knowing That God Would Help Me Again.
I Am Now A Non-Smoker...Praise God.
"I have felt the power of this before and to my stupidity I chose to smoke again after 2 years of
smoke free living. It's been 3 more years of failures (40 years of smoking ) enough. I started again because I was stressed out due to
lifes daily problems and the buzz I recieved from the first few cigarettes I smoked again gave me short time relief. Patches, etc help
but the feeling that I just received is knowing that God himself would help me again. I am confident that this spirtual awakening of God's
power does live within all of us. There in the Bible I just read Ephesians 6:10 thru 24. No luck needed but I do ask of you
reading this. Pray for me as I will do for you. I am now a non-smoker. Praise God. Thank you for posting the prayer 01/01/10 high noon."

I Praise God From The Bottom Of My Heart For Leading Me To This Web Site.
"For years and years I have tried to quit smoking and chewing, I have tried everything that's offered
by the secular world. I have prayed about quitting for years and years and it all seemed impossible to be set free from this bondage of
nicotine. I praise God from the bottom of my heart for leading me to this web site. Thank so much and may God richly bless you guys.
All glory and praise belongs to God!"

The Lord Delivered Me Completely From Smoking Cold-Turkey,
No Patches, Medications or Hypnosis. Just His Pure Healing Ways.
8 Months Later I've Never Touched Another Cigarette.
"I had been smoking close to a pack a day, it was effecting my health seriously, my breathing
was labored, I had pain from bad circulation, my asthma was with me constantly around the clock, walking any real distance was
impossible. Smoking was literally killing me - I was scared for the first time in my life because I couldn't seem to stop. I prayed
telling God "I" was going to quit but I wanted His help. It wasn't really working. I kept going back to the cigarettes. After talking
with a friend she suggested I ask Jesus to take on the entire task of delivering me from smoking which worked for her. I did. I asked
my Lord Jesus to take the entire matter of my smoking under His care, confessing to Him that I was too weak to help Him. Praise His Holy
righteousness, He delivered me completely from smoking, cold-turkey, no patches, medications or hypnosis or therapy of any other kind.
Just His pure healing ways. 8 months later I've never touched another cigarette. I praise Him for I know I was too weak to quit by
any other method. Before I quit I came to this site and marveled at the stories, praying I could be one of those blessed stories too.
My prayer came true. I love you all and prayer for your deliverance from smoking now and forever."

After Smoking For 38 Years, The Lord Jesus Has Set Me Free From Bondage.
The Minister Said That The Lord Told Him To Tell Me To, "Mean It!"
"After smoking for 38 years, Lord Jesus has set me free from that bondage. I tried to quit
many times on my own, but (I) could not. I heard someone preaching about praising the Lord for delivering me from smoking. Yes,
even before I quit. So there I was, thanking the Lord for delivering me from smoking, while still smoking. As I did this, I noticed
the urge to smoke was beginning to be a lot less than before. I still smoked, but very little. One day, at church, I was in a prayer
line. I asked the minister to pray with me about a new beginning with the Lord. The minister looked at me and said that the Lord told
him to tell me to, "Mean it!" With that I haven't smoked since, and I don't even want one. Praise the Lord!!!"

I Will NEVER Touch Another One Of Those Killer Sticks In My Life.
I Trust In My God And In Jesus.
"I had tried to stop smoking almost 2 months back in Jesus name and was successful for
2 weeks but then I started again. As the many other testimonies here, I googled today "How to stop smoking the christian way"
and I came across this website. I am surpised at how much everything it says relates to my life too. As of now, I have stopped.
And I really pray and hope that I will NEVER touch another one of those killer sticks in my life. I trust in My God and in Jesus. He
has shown me so many miracles in my life and I know he's there for me every step of the way. God bless you all. Praise be to Jesus!"

I Just Smoked My Last Cigarette and I Flushed The Rest.
I Feel He Has Just Now Set Me Free From This.
"I just smoked my last cigarette and I flushed the rest. I no longer want this unhealthy habit to
take me over. I belong to God and God has set me free in Jesus name. I feel He has just now set me free from this and now I will keep
my body safe and away from all bad habits and start living with the Word of God and letting others know what God has done for me
and can do for them. I will stay healthy and eat right to make my heart and body a temple for the Lord and to live for Him for its
for Him that I am free to praise His name all the days of my life. Lesa at 12:08 stopped this habit and will live for praising His
name. AMEN."

Tonight I Smoked My Last Cigarette And Made A Commitment
To The Lord That I May Never Turn Back To The Sin I So Enjoyed.
"I have been smoking for 14 years. It is something that my flesh truely loves. I enjoy everything
about smoking. However my son recently accepted Jesus as his personal Lord and Saviour. With that came much accountiblity on my part. I
have realized more so than ever that God has been trying to get my attention for years in this horrible addiction. It has not only
hindered my walk with Him, but has been a stumbling block for many people I have encountered. Today the Lord showed me that there is no
other way for me to get this sin out of my life, except through his strength, mercy and grace. Romans 7:18-19 says, "For I do not do the
good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep doing." That is so true in my life, but in 2 Corinthians 12:9 it says that "my grace
is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness". This website has been such a blessing in my life, and I have realized
that I can overcome this bondage with prayer and God's wonderful grace. So tonight I smoked my last cigarette, and made a commitment to
the Lord that I may never turn back to the sin I so enjoyed. I am so excited about this time I am going to spend with God. Even if I have
to suffer, I know He is with me, and I want to obey what He is asking of me. May this Glorify His Name! Amen."

I Handed This Addiction Over To Jesus. I Haven't Touched It Since.
"I began smoking when I was 12. I have been smoking a pack of 25's day for the past 19 years. I knew
I didn't have the strength in myself to quit even though I knew it was killing me. 3 weeks ago a an evangelist prayed for me for
my lungs to be healed. I wrestled with that. How can I ask for healing when I won't let go of the thing causing the sickness? So 2
weeks ago I came online and found this site. I copied the prayer on the main page into my daily organiser, wrote the date and time and
handed this addiction over to Jesus. I haven't touched it since. Has it been easy? NOPE. Have I been brought to tears, and spat the dummy?
Had all my friends a families running for cover...u bet ya! But I REFUSE to let the devil take my victory!!! I know these horrible feelings
won't last long and when they're finally ova, it'll all be so worth it!!!! ALL PRAISES TO GOD Thank u Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit!!!! woohoo:)"
UPDATE:
It's been a month since I touched a smoke...wohoo I'm so excited. I'm so glad for your site it's been such an encouragement:):)

The Lord Heard And Answered My Problem With Smoking.
I Am Now A Non-Smoker After 30 Years.
"I have been smoking about 30 years and tried to give up but I could not. I kept praying to the Lord
to help me stop. The Lord Jesus spoke to me. I am a temple where the Lord dwells. The Lord heard and answered my problem
with smoking. What I need is Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is not a cigarette. I want to give smoking up because Jesus wants me to. I
am now a non-smoker. I sometimes get the odd craving but I am reminded that it's Jesus Christ that I need. It's Jesus Christ that
we all need."

I Am Free From Being The Victim To Nicotine.
"I confess in Jesus name that I am a non-smoker. I have the power through Christ to overcome such
bad habits and way of life. I do not know what made me start the habit but, all that matters now is the fact that I am free from being
the victim to nicotine."

It Is So Simple. All I Have To Do Is Ask And I Shall Receive.
Why Did I Not See This Before?
"I have been a smoker for 17 years. And also a Christian since I was a small child. The Lord has
worked in my life so many wonderful ways, but today I have been healed from the nicotine addiction that I have been struggling with all
these years. It is so simple. All I have to do is ask and I shall receive. Why did I not see this before? Thank you Jesus for healing my body
and mind of this addiction. I praise your Holy name Lord Jesus. You are my brother, friend, and Savior! Praise God I AM HEALED!!!!!!!!!!"

I Said, "God I Cannot Do This Anymore On My Own Please Help Me"
and He Instantly Took The Urge Away.
"At work I had a friend whom GOD used to show me the way to quitting. I told her that I wanted to
quit and she told me pray about it. I sort of thought it silly then I under estimated that power of the almighty. I struggled daily when
I tried to do it on my own strength. Every night I would say this is my last cigarette before going to bed. Then one night with the
lit cigarette in hand I said GOD I cannot do this anymore on my own please help me and he instantly took the urge away. GLORY to the
Lamb. I feel that He was just waiting for me to ask for his help. No urges since then. AMEN!!!"

I Stumbled Across This Website and Followed The Instructions.
Immediately After I Done That I Started Projectile Vomiting
But Now Know That The Lord Has Set Me Free.
"I am a soldier in the British Army and have been a heavy smoker for several years and have tried
to stop on several occasions but fell flat on my face every time. The Lord has been directing me to Trust in him rather than looking
elsewhere for help. I stumbled across this website and followed the instructions. Immediately after I done that I started projectile
vomiting but now know that the Lord has set me free. I am under no illusions, I am a soldier and realize that the enemy will not lay
down on this but the amazing thing is he has no power over me. Praise God."

My Lord God Jesus Christ Has Saved Me
and Delivered Me From The Bondage of Smoking.
"I had been a smoker for many years and as the years passed I became
more aware of the bondage I was in. God did not intend for me to live in bondage..this wasn't God's
punishment for my sins, this bondage was from Satan. God is merciful and forgiving. I accepted my
Lord's forgiveness...Yes I had fallen to temptation but Gods mercy raised me up from the ashes and I
found hope and rest and healing in his arms. My Lord God Jesus Christ has saved me and delivered me from
the bondage of smoking..I am free. He has done this to bring glory to the Father. John 14:11-14"

Before I Even Said "Thank You" I Knew I Would Never Smoke Again!
"I would like to share my testimony, even though it was not this Bible study that helped me...
it was God. I just found this web site, and wanted to share how God helped me quit. I smoked for 15 years. I was fed up with smoking
and all the negativity. I laid in bed one night and said, "Lord, I don't want to smoke any more! I don't want to try, I just want
to do it! I don't want to use any nicotine patches, or gum, I just want to do it! I'm weak and can't do it with out your help,
Please help me. Give me the power". And before I even said "Thank you" I knew I would never smoke again. Thank you GOD..... Praise
the Lord!"

I Have Been 2 Weeks Without Tobacco. I Had No Withdrawal Symptoms.
God Is Good...All The Time.
"A month ago, a missionary came to our church, and I prayed about what God would want me to do.
The message I received was "Quit smoking Ash Wednesday and give the money to the mission trip." I decided to be obedient, and
while planning, I found this website. As of today, I have been 2 weeks without tobacco. I had no withdrawal symptoms. I am amazed!
God is Good...All the Time. All the Time....God is Good."

I Was Delivered From Smoking Through Prayer.
"I was delivered from smoking through prayer and praying for bondage of the addiction.
I still need to keep my eyes on God, but it has been so much better than trying to quit by myself - cold turkey. My salvation
was received instantly, why couldn't my deliverence from cigarettes be the same? Pills, cutting down, etc don't work for me.
Releasing it to God does."

I Just Pray and Ask God To Help Me. Then It Goes As Quick As It Came.
"I wanted to share that I have been smoke free for 3 days now!!! I have been smoking for 10
years and probably have tried to quit 10 times in those years. But I had a revelation one day that I was failing because I didn't
add God in the plan. When I had the heaviness on my heart to try to find a Christian based website for quitters I was very happy
to have found this site and I had prayed the prayer on the lesson and within seconds I felt it leave me. Grant it today has been a bad
day but every time I start holding on by a thread I just pray and ask God to help me. Then it goes as quick as it came.
I am safe and God is with me and I am going to climb this mountain and finish!!!!! Thank you Jesus!!!!"

I Threw Out My Cigarettes and It's Been 40 Days So Far Since My Final Smoke.
He Will Help You Too......I Promise.
"Just a closer walk with thee". I kept reciting this to the Lord and He kept reminding me of
a promise I had made Him years ago and then gone back on. I threw out my cigarettes and it has been 40 days so far since my final smoke.
It is not easy. There are temptations. There were days I felt I would pull my hair out if I didn't get a smoke. Jesus already saved
me from this and He saved you to. We are already healed. I managed to fly across the country, drive everyday, even walk through a
smoke filled casino and attend a conference in which every class break the smokers filed out; didn't smoke once. I know this is
rambling but I did want to encourage somebody out there that it is possible. I told God I wouldn't smoke. I told Him I needed His help.
I made this covenant with Him. He has been and is faithful. IT'S NOT EASY but it is soooo very possible and well worth it. I quit cold
turkey and only by the grace of God. He will help you too......I promise. Thank you for this site."

I Made a Promise To God That I Would Quit Smoking
and I Haven't Smoked In 4 Days Now.
"I made a promise to God that I would quit smoking and I haven't smoked in 4 days now.
Nothing else ever worked. I can't say that I have no cravings for cigs, but It is definetly not as bad as I had imagined it
would be. My fear of breaking a direct promise to God greatly outweighs my desire for a cigarette and the withdrawls have
been extremely mild. All praise and glory to God!!"

So Instead of Getting My Regular Dose of Poison,
I'm Just Going To Get My Fix of His Love Instead.
"I hated myself, life and my beautiful God, forever. The only thing that I didn't hate
was debauchery. So, go figure that I debauched and debauched, and loved it. Essentially, I was proud to evil. In fact, I was
so proud of it, I had the demon's fetus, the antichrist tattooed on my arm like it's a badge. Then, out of the blue, two days
ago, after never stepping in a church or praying for years, I decided that I wanted to be a pastor so I can lead my friends
into better things, instead of watching them destroy themselves with further idol worship, and the desire to be worshipped
like a false god. After chain-smoking left and right since I was at least 16, I prayed and then I had a cigarette. Suddenly,
everything just seemed terribly wrong about it, and I felt ashamed to chase something so beautiful away with something that
just become so incredibly ugly, instantaneously. Even the number of cigarettes in the pack seemed like a sign. There were six of
them, then I pulled one out, and set it ablaze, so I could puff this fire down my throat like some kind of dragon, a beast.
Regardless, I finished that cigarette, and there was nothing to be enjoyed about it. So, I got online and looked for some
scriptures over smoking. It turns out that I didn't find one. What I did find was this site, and a lot of food for thought.
Then, I went back outside with that pack of cigarettes and I knew exactly what I was going to do with them: I was going to
smoke the rest of them, and quickly, one after the other. My prayer, earlier in the night, was to remember what shame is like
so I could shed my false pride, and sure enough, I felt ashamed (and sick) tonight after smoking the rest of those cigarettes.
Then I prayed some more and felt humble before my God, and grateful for the experience. After at least six years of smoking,
I've stopped for a whole three hours. Regardless, I'm going to chase away every craving that I have with prayer. So instead
of getting my regular dose of poison, I'm just going to get my fix of His love instead."

I Am Free At Last and I Am So Grateful Today For His Amazing Grace.
"I want to thank the Lord Jesus Christ that he delivered me from cigarette smoking forever and ever.
I am a reborn christian, child of god, baptized In the Holy Spirit and have being battling giving up smoking. Every time I used to
Smoke a spirit of fear use to torment me. I started searching. I was convicted in my Spirit, that what I am doing is wrong. Yesterday
I decided to take my computer and Try to get answers. I hardly know computers and after trying many wordings I then decided to use
the words "smoking and the bible". As I scrolled down on the title "quit smoking gods way" I realized how I am bowing down to a spirit
of addiction which is busy destroying Gods beautiful body that He wants us not to contaminate Romans 12. My eyes opened up and will
take my authority in Jesus Christ of Nazareth to receive His power to overcome the evil one and to stand in victory. I am free at
last and I am so grateful today for his amazing grace. Thank you my precious Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ of Nazareth that you have
delivered me from cigarette smoking. I love you with all my heart and thank you that you have loved us first. Amen."

I Felt Like I Was Dying Slowly When I Was Smoking...
Now I Feel As Though I Don't Remember What It Was Like To Smoke.
"I have been smoking 7 years of my life away from the age of 15 to 22. I smoked 1 pack or even
2 packs depending on the kind of day. I've tried to quit twice and I failed. It was just way too hard. So my fiance quit and I
tried to quit but I started to smoke without him. Then three days later I prayed to the Lord Jesus. I asked for him to give me His
strength. I asked for Him fill me with his Holy Spirit. I prayed for him to give me control of my life so that I may be closer to Him in
mind, body and spirit. I prayed to quit smoking in the name of Jesus. Since that prayer I have been smoke free for one week.
I have not had one craving and I don't drink caffeine like I did everyday. I feel more energized now than I have ever been with caffeine.
Now I feel as though I don't remember what it was like to smoke. All I remember was that I feel great now and I felt like I was dying
slowly when I was smoking, so there is no reason to start back. I am confident that God will help me control my life every step of the
way. I have thanked the lord ever since then. I honestly feel as though Jesus erased all of my pain and thoughts about smoking. I do not
even feel like the same person. PRAISE THE LORD FOREVER!"

9 Days Ago and I Haven't Smoked Since!
"I've asked God for alot of things the past couple of years and He has asked me also.
I was going down a mental list the other day of all the things I had given up when I realized the one crutch I used the most
and relied on the most for comfort and relief was smoking. It got me to thinking that what if God was waiting on me to give
up that one thing before He released all the things I've asked Him for and much much more if I were to just quit? So I did.
That was 9 days ago and I haven't smoked since. Thank you God for allowing the Holy Spirit to show me that."

I Haven't Touched One In 4 Days!
Release Your Faith - Praise To God!!!
"I have tried many a time to kick the habit but always seemed to make excuses to have one.
"Oh, I'll have a social one" or "I'm a bit stressed". Within a few days I'd be back smoking again. I got really tired of it
and doubted my chances of ever being smoke free. I got pretty fed up and started to pursue Gods word on this addiction.
I came across this website. I was not 100% that I really wanted to stop but after saying the prayer and simply saying out
loud the "Statement of faith", when I thought about cigarettes it actually worked. I haven't touched one in 4 days!
Release your faith - Praise to God!!!"

When I Start To THINK About Cigarettes I Silently Say
"Go Away Satan, Jesus Is Here With Me." And It WORKS!
"I haven't smoked in 4 days, this is the longest I have been smoke-free since I started
smoking as a teenager. I have tried all the other methods of quitting smoking, and always failed miserably. Since praying and
asking Jesus to deliver me I don't even WANT to smoke. I have not had any bad cravings at all. And when I start to THINK
about cigarettes I silently say "Go away Satan, Jesus is here with me." And it WORKS. I am not even super-religeous or anything
like that. I have always believed in God and Jesus, just never truly believed in miracles, until now."

I Believe I Have Been Set Free.
Now I Am Going To Destroy My Cigarettes . . .
"I just got done saying that prayer and commanding Satan to leave me in the name of Jesus.
I then made a sincere pledge to God to never touch another cigarette and I then thanked Him for setting me free. Right now I
don't feel the urge to smoke and I praise the Lord Jesus for that. I believe I have been set free. Now I am going to destroy
my cigarettes as they no longer have any power over me."

God Had Taken The Desire And The Taste To Smoke Completely Away !
"In Jesus name, I give all praises to God our Father. I was delivered from smoking cigarettes
immediately after 10 years of smoking a half of a pack a day. Just after purchasing a new pack of unopened cigarettes before going
to bed that night in the year of 1989, I prayed to God and told him that I was tired of smoking and did not want them anymore.
When I woke up the very next morning, God had taken the desire and the taste to smoke completely away. Though my body tried to
have withdrawal symptoms ie., nervousness for a month or two, the desire to smoke never came back. God delivered me from
symptoms also. I am completely set free without any medical or chemical help. It has been 19 years this May 20, 2008. It would
not have been possible without faith in God. I knew God would answer as he always does."

One Night I Said A Prayer and Asked Jesus To Help Me Quit Smoking...
I Have No Need For A Cigarette Anymore.
"I smoked for eleven years and have tried to quit many times. One night I said a prayer
and asked Jesus to help me quit smoking. After this I have no need for a cigarette anymore. I did not have any withdrawals
from quiting and I believe Jesus delivered me from this nasty habit. I thank Him everyday now for taking care of my short
comings. It is amazing the power we have through God. I hope this testimony helps at least one person that would make what
I went through worth it."

The Holy Spirit Came On Strong...
and Instantly I Could Feel My Breaths Become Deeper...Less Heavy.
I Don't Feel Like I Ever Smoked. I've Been Set Free In Jesus Name.
"Praise the Lord!!!!...I have been delivered and this is fresh and New...just happened.
For A WHILE I have struggled with wanting to quit smoking. I had prayed for God to show me all the ways it affected my life.
That wasn't enough for me apparently. I still smoked. Although I felt guilty, I would still do it. Tonight I googled how to
quit smoking the Christian way...and cried as I read the testimonies. I knew my time had come...FOR GOOD!! It became clear I
was doing it all wrong. I was relying on myself to quit. I didn't promise God. I didn't call on His name. After reading
this...I tore up my cigarettes, threw them out, cleared any reminders out of my home (liters etc..) and called on the Name of
Jesus. The Holy Spirit came on strong..and instantly I could feel my breaths become deeper...less heavy. I cast satan out of
my life! I spoke over him proclaiming his efforts to be useless. I know this may sound unbelievable because I just did
it...but I don't feel like I ever smoked. I've been set free in Jesus' name. Praise him!!! I'm praying for all of you!!!"

When I Called On JESUS For Help I Was Delivered On The Spot.
"Thank you Jesus, I quit smoking in Jesus name. I tried every pill, patch, hypnosis, you name it.
Nothing worked I was miserable. But when I called on JESUS for help I was delivered on the spot...I can't thank Him enough. GOD is so
wonderful. People we have power in JESUS NAME, demons have to flee. Smoking is not of God, I can't believe how much closer I feel
to Him now that I'm not choking Him out with smoke. He released me from bondage and I never want to go back...lay them cigs at
His feet..do it now in JESUS NAME...I LOVE HIM."

I Haven't Smoked One Since Then...Three Months Ago.
"Hey, I had been wanted to give up smoking for ages, I tried but
didn't last more than a few hours as I started panicking and felt I was missing out, I didn't know what to do with
my hands. Three months ago I read this web page and I thought that maybe I could ask Jesus to help me to really
want to give up smoking (maybe I never really wanted to do it even if I though I did). To cut it short I
prayed and I said to Jesus that I was going to promise him not to smoke again in faith, (which means that
I believed by faith that he would help me and give me the strengh to keep the promise). I haven't smoked one
since then...three months ago. I have put on weight, which I am gradually losing now and it has been quite hard the
first days but I felt that I couldn't break my promise to Jesus and He is here making sure I don't break his promise."

I Am Healed. He Set Me Free ! ! !
"I said the prayer almost a week ago. I am healed. He set me
free!!! I know I can resist temptation now after making it this long without smoking. I already feel so
much better. Praise God!!!! What a burden he has lifted from me! All the times before I had tried to quit,
I didn't promise directly to Jesus that I wouldn't smoke until the last time when I said the prayer on this
website. Now I am accountable directly to Jesus. I could never promise it before because I knew I wouldn't
be able to keep my word. BUT this time when I prayed, the Lord knew in my heart I really was ready and
I know that He will help me resist smoking for the rest of my life!!! I thank you for your help with this website. I
truly thank you and maybe now since God has delivered me and my husband sees the change in me, perhaps it will
minister to him enabling him to quit also. God bless you and all who visit here and read these testimonies."

I Cried Out To The LORD
and He Suddenly Delivered Me From That Nasty Habit !
"Working at the telephone company and the only way for BREAKS from
work was SMOKING !!!! Then, cigars and then chew tabacco ... Attempting to quit on
my own was impossible and costly packs were tossed and wasted ! I CRIED out to the
the LORD and He suddenly delivered me from that nasty habit, but the doctor called
me in to review my lungs by X-rays... He pointed out the serious lesions that were
slowly residing and even the scars are gone now.. Since then, the Word of God has
proved that our bodies are the temple of God and if we have smoke; then we are not
complete ... Men at the www.MiamiRescueMission.com are being delivered and out in
the outside smoking pit are getting the message! Yes, Jesus said to follow Him
and He would make fishermen out of us... They get the message over the PA System and
then are informed that 'Living Water' is coming; then they will not be smoked fish
anymore!! Have you ever seen a fish re-smoked ? Thank God and Psalm 70 !!! Make
Haste O'LORD to deliver them into the Kingdom of God..."

I Did The Steps In "How To Quit Smoking Gods Way" and I Succeeded !
"Hello, in August of 2006 a doctor told me in the presence of my
daughter and daughter in law that for health reasons I really needed to quit
smoking, which I had wanted to do for a very long time any way for spiritual reasons
as well as health reasons, but all my attempts had failed. But I knew when the
doctor told me this in front of my kids, that they would not give me any peace till
I did what he said I should do. So I tried tapering off, and failed. I did alot of
praying, but continued failing. And then I felt even worse because I felt like I was
failing God, and then I found this site, and I did the steps in "How to quit
smoking Gods way" and I succeeded, it was a year this September 17th 2007 since I
smoked my last cigarette! and I am still Praising the Lord today, for giving me the
victory over that disgusting habit. And I also want to thank the people that wrote
this method on this web site. And most of all I want to encourage any and every one
who reads this if you want to quit smoking, please try this method, if you truly
trust God, this will work for you, just as it did for me. God Bless!"

I Am Proof That Miracles Happen After 39 Years Of Smoking !
"I have been looking for employment for the last 9 months. As I
was growing discouraged I asked God if there was something He wanted me to do before
he answered my prayer. As I prayed daily the smoking issue was always on my heart. I
didn't tell anyone for fear that they would say, well you know if you listen to God
you will get the job you want. I had tried to quit smoking 10 years ago and it was
the worst pain I had ever been through. I remember thinking God take me home and
lets avoid this suffering. Needless to say after 12 weeks and ten pounds heavier, I
gave in to the nicotine and was back home bondage in tow. I started to diet and
vowed in January of this year that as I lost 25 pounds I would try to quit again.
Well I lost 20 and God said, "It is time, Obedience my daughter". Well I felt
desperate with no job so I decided to set a quit date. The next morning I woke up
and said I will try to give up my morning cigarette. Then I decided to see if I
could Google something about being delivered from smoking without gaining weight. I
found this sight and "PRAISE GOD HE BLESSED ME (TOOK AWAY MY SUFFERING) AND
DELIVERED ME FROM SMOKING, CRAVINGS, ADDICTION, BONDAGE. I AM FREE and I am still
praying and giving God all the Glory. I am proof that miracles happen after 39 years
of smoking. I had also lost 70 pounds many years ago so in order to not gain weight
I have increased my exercise, prayer, I know God knows my weaknesses. I believe that
I will be working rather soon. God is great!! Thank you for the prayer that is
posted. I pray that for someone else who is in bondage to nicotine, that you know
God can and will deliver you."

I Was FREE! The Taste And Craving Went Out Of My Mouth Immediately !
I Even Lost 10 Pounds Since I Quit Smoking !
"Everything in my life had fallen apart. The man I loved left me
for another. He got violent with me and after a day I sent him to jail. I was living
with him and suddenly had to move. I just started a new job and I didn't show up for
a very important demo. I was losing my mind. I almost denied God, but then I
realized...I'm looking at everything wrong. I have a new job, a new car, a new home,
a new life. My relationship with God was stronger than ever. In weakness His will
was made perfect. For months God had been telling me to quit smoking. It even went
so far as to ignore a miracle. I was watching the 700 club and at the end they
started talking about someone with a sore throat. Now I'd had a sore throat for six
months. Pat said its not a sore throat it's cancer. Put your hand on your throat and
be healed in the name of Jesus. I thought they couldn't be tallking about me. But I
did it, and my sore throat went away. I decided to quit right then. But by the end
of the day I had convinced myself it hadn't happened at all. I needed to have that
cigarette. I plan on quitting, just not today. Fast forward to the recent
trauma...God was miraculously working in my life to restore me, and build me up, he
gave me new life! I wanted to repay Him, but what could I do. I was sitting at work,
and found this site. I said the prayer. I cut out the Praise to the Lord for freeing
me from this addiction, and put it in each of my packs of cigarettes. Each one was
half full. I grabbed the tape, and I asked the Lord to bind Satan, as I taped those
packs shut. If I can do it now, I can do it forever! God gave me so much this is the
least I can do...and by that I mean...believe that He is great enought to free me
from the addiction, the strangle hold that Satan had me in! I was FREE! The taste
and craving went out of my mouth immediately. And I vowed never to put another
cigarette to my lips. It gets easier. It gets better. I've even lost 10 pounds since
I quit smoking. Grab hold of the blessing God has for you. Fear is holding you back,
don't be afraid. JUST BELIEVE!!!!"

I Told God If I Can Quit Smoking, I Will Be His Witness. And I Did !
"I had been smoking for the past 15 years. Been trying to quit
many times but less then 2 hours the urge comes back almost immediately. It is very
frustrating especially when you even prayed to Jesus asking Him to help! I know God
has been telling me to quit smoking if I want to have baby. But I still can't give it
up. The people around me are smokers, it makes quitting smoking such a hard thing to
do. Then one monday morning, the feeling of wanting to quit smoking was so strong. I
went into the net to search for ways to quit smoking, and then I found this web
site, quit smoking the GOD's way. After reading all the testimonies, I knelt down
and said the prayers. Afer saying the prayers I got and threw away my new box of
ciggy and all the lighters I had. Since then, about 1 month and 2 weeks, I have not
had one puff!!! My husband is very impressed coz he is a smoker too. I told God if I
can quit smoking, I will be his witness. And I did, I have been telling friends and
showed them how I have quit smoking! Thank you Lord Jesus, Thank you for helping me
quit smoking! Thank you also for this wonderful powerful web site! Amen!"

Jesus IS The Cure...I Smoked For 12 Years And Am Free !
"I picked up my first cigarette at the age of 17. I didn't start
to find myself in the addiction until about 18 years old. I tried many attempts at
quitting, and had gone w/out for 3-4 days once. Nothing was working.
I'd lay in bed at night after smoking all day. Here I was a Christian and I couldn't
understand why I had this problem. It upset me.. I wanted to stop and do what I knew
was pleasing to God. This was years later when I began to hand my life over to
Christ. I cried my eyes out and God revealed to me that I didn't know how to stop
because I hadn't admitted to him that I had an addiction. I had never had to quit
one before with His help. I asked Him to help me because I wanted to stop doing
this. I was angry that something like that had it's hold on me. Yet I knew it had
help from Satan.
The day that I tossed my cigs, ashtrays, etc... the tempter tried his best.
I took authority in the name of Jesus and told that enemy to take a hike. I KNEW
that this was it.
It's been a year since I quit smoking and the desire isn't
there. I tell everyone that Jesus helped me quit. No patch, no gum, cold turkey
wasn't even my help. I had already tried that and failed.
Jesus IS the cure. I smoked for 12 years and am FREE!"

"I have smoked for 33 years and I have not had
a cigarette for 16 days. Today is trying but I am determined to stay a non smoker because
my LORD deserves my very best and that is NOT SMOKING. Of course I did have deliverance
prayer and that has helped tremendously. Today I am having a harder time than usual but
I claim the victory in Jesus."

God Kept Working On Me And A Few Days Later I Threw Them Away !
After 40 Years I Have Now Been Smoke Free Since November 1st 2005.
"I work in a hospital and have been smoking for 40 years. I spent
all those years thinking smoking was wrong but, never trying to quit. I would
witness to many of the doctors where I worked that were non-christian. One day, by
the grace of God, I choked on some peanuts I was eating and thought that I had
aspirated. One of the doctor's that I witnessed to everyday, listened to my
lungs. She listened to my lungs and told me how nice it was to hear healthy lungs. I
told her I was surprised to hear that since I had smoked for 40 years. She looked at
me and said she was really diasappointed to hear that since she thought I was so
clean. That hit my like a brick. How could I witness to someone if i was not a clean
represtative of Christ. Two days went by and I went to Sunday Morning Church
service. I could hardly sit still. When the pastor asked if there was anyone that
had sin in their life that was causing them not to be a good witness--then I knew it
was time to get help and quit. After church I met with the pastor and I told him
about the smoking. He went into the bible and read verses and we prayed. My life
verse is now 1 Corinthians 10:13. God kept working on me and a few days later I
threw them away and I have now been smoke free since November 1st 2005---My one
year anniversary is coming up. This has been one of the hardest things I have ever
done. Somedays I am on my knees calling out to God to help me get through. When I
gave up cigarettes I gave up my best friend. Now I am learning to depend on God to
get me through each and every day and be my best friend. May God be with anyone who
is quitting and realize that He is your strength. My Pastor sung me a "God says your
gonna make it!" And with His help you will!"

I Made The Promise Not To Put Another Cig To My Mouth !
"On Aug.26,2006, I was baptized and made a vow that I was done
smoking, I failed badly! The guilt I felt all week was bad. I had 6 pks of cigs left
I just could not throw them away. I was so scared that God would not forgive me,
that depression came big time. I have had this web site here for months but would
not read it till today, WOW, I didn't have that much time to think when I was standing
there tearing up those cigs and down the toilet they went. I'm so scared right now, I
made the promise not to put another cig to my mouth. Please pray for me on this day
of being free from this evil thing. In JESUS NAME I GIVE PRAISE AND GLORY."

Within 3 Days I Was Cigarette-Free. Almost Like Being Brought Back To Life !
"I was a new Christian and wanted to be baptized. In my heart, I felt that each time I put
a cigarette in my mouth, I was idolizing the cigarette. I wanted to quit smoking before I was baptized. Every morning when time I woke up,
I would smoke more and more and was actually becoming more addicted. One day, I was driving home from work and I got a word from
God. At the time, I didn't know what it was but in retrospect I understand what took place. He told me I was going through a spiritual battle.
When I heard the words "spiritual battle", I was so overwhelmingly enlightened, I couldn't believe it! Before this, I had never even heard the
words "spiritual battle" before. I was convinced this was from God. So, I decided to research spiritual battle on the internet and God took
me right to a page that gave me scripture and a Psalm to read. The scripture was Jesus is the way the truth and the life (John 14:6-9 and the
Psalm is 91). I read these or spoke them out loud everytime I had a craving. Within 3 days, I was cigarette-free. Almost like being brought
back to life! I have not had a craving since then, that was 2 years ago."

I Will No Longer Let Satan Have This Power Over Me !
"I have been contemplating for a while about quitting smoking. I
started when I was 11 and am now 42. I have two children left to raise out of the 5
we have, I want to be here to raise them in the way of the Lord. Next Monday at my
home church, I was suppose to start a class on addiction, however money will be
tight this week, but I decided this morning that I will do this today with Christ's
help. I have been through a lot of things in my life, and Jesus has delivered me
from them all I know that he has delivered me now from this bondage. I pray for all
of you that are going through this and I know that you will with the help of our
Lord Jesus defeat this. I will no longer let Satan have this power over me."

I Am A Non-Smoker Thanks To Jesus ! Amen !
"I was led to Jesus at the age of 19, and my life was radically
transformed - new friends, new priorities, new mind and heart! Sadly, Satan didn't let go without a fight
and I found it really tough to stop smoking, which I had done since the age of 15. Ah man, I hated it - I
would drive to Church with a cigarette or two, whilst the worship band were praying before going on stage
to lead others I would sneak of for a puff to 'calm the nerves' then lead others in worship! I would turn
up to prayer meetings stinking of cigarettes, and often leave mid-prayer meeting for a ciggie. It dawned
on me this habit was controlling me, pulling me away from God and had to go. I'm really blessed, I've tried
to go cold turkey but failed. Now, I am on patches, covered in prayer by friends, family, the church and I
am succeeding. At age 21 God has transformed my mind, no doubt about it. It may sound small fry, but today I
have gone one month without cigarettes - before, I literally couldn't go a day. As you will read from the
other testimonies, our God is an awesome God and he WILL deliver you. Its amazing some guys are totally
healed of the addiction on the spot, others aren't. My advise is try to get yourself covered in prayer and
remember that to walk on water YOU have to get out of the boat. There is no shame in Nicotine Replacement
if it takes enough of the edge off - certainly in my case, God has honoured my prayers and again miraculously
provided for me (I work in a grocery shop, and during the first few days whenever I thought about smoking
someone from my church would walk into the shop, bump into me and encourage me!) I AM A NON-SMOKER THANKS
TO JESUS! AMEN!"

I Know I Wouldn't Be Able To Do This Without Him ! Thank You Jesus !
"I started smoking at age 17, I am now 28. I have tried to quit so many times on my own
and always failed. Although I was saved a few years ago, I didn't actually begin to trust God until recently. It has been on my mind for quite
some time to quit smoking, then I began to have breathing troubles. I knew it was time to quit since my father was a heavy smoker--died of
heart disease, my uncle was a smoker---died of lung cancer, and my grandfather also was a smoker who beat lung cancer. I was in the shower
and I decided it was time, or maybe the Holy Spirit decided it was time...I broke down and prayed begging for deliverance. I still smoked for
the first couple of days after that prayer but suddenly came down with a severe case of strep. This was very painful and had absolutely NO
desire to smoke, could hardly even swallow! It has now been 5 days since I fell ill, am feeling alot better. No Cigarette in 5 days!! Praise
the Lord, I know I wouldnt be able to do this without Him! Thank you Jesus!"

No More - It Is Over. I Give My Life and My Body to Jesus !
"I came to Jesus in April this year through attending an Alpha
Course and, at 48 years old, am really conscious of how much of life I have missed through not knowing
Him. I have tried and failed to stop smoking literally hundreds of times and have come to believe that
I can only do this through Christ Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit. I will ask my church to
pray with me for me to be delivered from this evil. This Study has opened my eyes to what it is
I am fighting and I know that with the Lord on my side, Satan doesn't stand a chance! No
more - it is over. I give my life and my body to Jesus. Thanks be to God."

It's Been 9 Months and Not One Cigarette !
God, Through His Holy Spirit Healed Me Completely
From My Addiction To Smoking !
"It's been 9 months and not one cigarette! Feb. 19/05, a friend had
given me this study and prayer to help me quit smoking. I had my last cigarette, did the study said the
prayer and asked God to please honor the prayer as heart felt (even though I myself wasn't that sure if
it would work). My main concern was what if I got angry or upset - those were always my downfall when
ever I tried to quit before. What an amazing experience it has been and the Lord is so faithful. I've
had bouts of fierce trials since I quit - my daughter nearly died, a very good friend of mine did die
and a friend I really cared about is involved in an adulterous relationship. All very tramatic events
and would have sent me running for a cigarette - praise the Lord - I didn't even want one - the cravings
I did have were quickly followed by intense physical feelings of what I would go through if I had a
cigarette - the very thought made me sick to my stomach - I couldn't take a drag if I forced myself.
God, through His Holy Spirit healed me completely from my addiction to smoking."

Glory Be To God - I Am Delivered ! ! !
"I smoked my last cigg. over this bible study if you can believe
that! Lifting up all to the Creator and stepping out in His glory. I AM MORE THAN A
CONQUER IN CHRIST! I claim that for myself and any others that read these words. I
profess clear mind, decernment of the Enemys tactics and claim the promises of God. I
stand steadfast and take back the victory I have allowed the Enemy to steal. Praise
you Father, God Almighty, in faith your saints step out into the restortive Blood that
you shed! GLORY BE TO GOD - I AM DELIVERED!!!"

Not Only Has He Set Me Free From Nicotene but Alcohol as Well !
"I started smoking at age 13 and today I am 44. I went from a few
cigarettes a day to a few packs of cigarettes a day in the past 30 years. The only
time I quit during that time was when I learned I was pregnant with my first child.
I stayed smoke-free for 9 months and started again after he was born. I've always
hated the addiction although the power it had over me was more than I could resist.
Once I gave in I would give up. The last year I had several incidents where I had
asthma attacks that were so bad I actually could not breathe, but even that didn't
stop me. This week I was watching Christian programming and the lady talking told me
I didn't have to live in that bondage anymore and that I could be set free if I just
asked Jesus to help me. I did, and I haven't had a cigarette or the desire for a
cigarette since. Not only has he set me free from nicotene but alcohol as well. When
I told my son I quit smoking he said no way mom, you'll never be able to quit. I
said I already did. Now he tells his friends that smoke that if his mom could quit
anybody can quit, and this Jesus of hers must be real because she went from smoking
3 packs a day to becoming smoke free. What helped was being willing to want to keep
the temple of the Lord clean, I also started to drink more water, eat only healthy
foods, and I gave up coffee, & pop in exchange for fruit juices and lemonade. God is
good and miracles happen when we turn our unhealthy desires over to him. You don't
have to do it alone. The Lover of your soul will be there to help you whenever you
are ready and ask him to. I thought it would be harder than this, but it really is
easy because God changed me from a smoker into a non-smoker in an instant. All I had
to do was make up my mind I was ready to give them up completely and then turn the
rest over to him in prayer. I feel better, look better, smell better, and am a much
better witness for Him. I always felt guilty smoking on the way home from church.
What a hypocrit I was. Truth is I knew! The Holy Spirit would help me quit when I was ready,
I even believed He would, but I was stubborn and it was something the devil used to hold me
back from being all I can be for God. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. So can you!"

Jesus Delivered Me From Smoking...18 Years Ago! No Cravings Since !
"I smoked for many years and after failing time and time again to stop smoking by myself, I decided to turn
it over to Jesus. I wanted to be free from this bad habit so I bound Satan in the name of Jesus and commanded
him to depart from me and then asked Jesus to deliver me from smoking. I made a vow to God that
I would never put another cigarette to my lips. I immediately started to thank and praise Jesus for answering
my prayer and do you know what? Instantly all cravings for nicotine left, I felt like I received a new pair
of lungs. That was 18 years ago and I have not had a craving for a cigarette since nor gained any weight. Put
your faith into action, try Jesus, He works, praise God!"

I Thank Our Heavenly Father And Jesus Christ Because
I Am Free From Nicotine Addiction and Smoking !
"I've tried everything to quit smoking. I always started again or was so unhappy that people around me wanted
me to start again. I found this Bible study and once I read it I realized that our Heavenly Father and Jesus
Christ would take the addiction and craving from me and not allow Satan to tempt me ever again. I am now four
days smoke free and my heart is free. I can't tell you just how burdened I was because I wanted to quit, but
didn't want to fail again. But our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ do not fail their children. I sing their
praises and thank our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ because I am free from nicotine addiction and smoking."

If You Will Give It Up To Jesus I Promise You Will Be Set Free !
"I had gone to church my entire life practically. I did everything I was supposed
to do as a Christian. My parents fell away from church and eventually I did too.
I stopped going all together and eventually I stopped reading my Bible and praying
like I would always do. Eventually I started to hang out with people I would
have never before and that led me to cigarettes. I started smoking them when I
was 16 years old. I kept on smoking for 3 years afterwards. I was addicted plain
and simple. I was involved in a car accident and God totally opened my eyes up.
God had saved me and I just turned away from him. I wasn't serving God or
glorifying him in any way. I knew that I was doing wrong I felt Jesus pulling
at my heart many of times but I ignored. Finally He woke me up for good. Thank
you Jesus. I wanted to rededicate my life to Jesus Christ and I wanted to serve
Him fully again. I just didn't know if I could because I wanted to quit smoking
so I kept putting it off. Finally Jesus gave me grace and told me it was okay
to come as I was. I gave it over to Jesus and I trusted that Jesus would set me
free and give me strength to quit smoking. I got mad at the sin and wanted so
bad to get rid of it. I went and got the smokers patch and threw the ciggarettes
out the window. It was still hard though, even though I had the patch. Finally
after three days of struggles and pain I decided only God could handle this so
I really handed Him everything this time and I haven't smoked in 4 months now.
Praise God. He is Awesome!!!! I still sometimes get an urge or the thought comes
through my head and one time after 30 days I picked up one. I took a puff off
of it and then cried. I knew there was no way I could ever go back to the
cigarettes and I could never forget what God had done for me. How dare I? So
even at times still when it comes through my head I just remember what Jesus
did for me and how He died for all of my sins. It's hard but if you give it
up to Jesus I promise you will be set FREE!!!!

After Smoking Over 35 Years I Have Been Tobacco Free For Almost 6 Years !
Praise The Lord He Has Set Me Free!!!!!!!!
I smoked for over 35 years. I had tried to quit numerous times but failed to do so. I was born
again when I was 46 and a year later God placed on my heart that I would be a better witness if
I would quit smoking. I was smoking three packs a day when I quit but I had very little
withdrawal symptoms. I have been tobacco free for almost six years. I am now a ministry
student and a associate pastor at a local church. Praise the Lord He has set me free!!!!!!!!!
