I Tried The "Quit Smoking God's Way" and It Worked!
"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."

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."

I Went To Youth Camp Last Year and I Haven't Smoked Since Then !
"I have been smoking cigarettes for 2 years. When I was doing it I was smoking like almost a
pack a day. So I was sick of tired of doing it so I went to youth camp last year and I haven't smoked since then. This was
July 28, 2007 so it's awesome that I have been delievered from it."

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."

I Just Prayed and Quit Cold Turkey !
"I was recently born again and baptized at my church shortly after I quit smoking after 1-1/2
packs a day for 20 yrs. I just prayed and quit cold turkey, haven't had a smoke in 8 days and with the power of God I don't even want one.
This has been a miracle in my life and through Jesus Christ anything is possible. Just ask and believe!!!!!!"

Today I Smoked My Last Cigarette, Praise Jesus !

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!"

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 wispered 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 testemony
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 testify it witnessed with my spirit and from that moment i was free. i went

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!"

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!!!!!!!!!
