BESETTING SINS (Hebrews 12:1) 1. What is a besetting sin? a. The phrase “easily beset” comes from a Greek word which means, “that which easily encircles or entangles, like a loose flowing robe.” b. The runners in ancient times would lay aside even their under garments so as not to be impeded c. Thus, the Hebrew writer is pleading for Christians to lay aside every hindrance in living the Christian life, especially those sins which, like inner garments, cling so close to us d. Thus, besetting sins are sins which hinderingly cling so close to us and are so easily committed 2. What are some areas from which arise besetting sins? a. Besetting sins may be those in which we indulged before obeying the Gospel, such as lying, gambling, cursing, cheating …. b. Besetting sins may be those in which we are drawn to due to our temperament, such as pride, laziness, skepticism, or stubbornness c. Besetting sins may be those to which we are exposed by our profession 1) Admittedly, there are greater temptations in some professions than others 2) The man who washes dishes in a cafe or mows lawns is not in a position to lie as would a certain salesman. d. Besetting sins may be those in which we are particularly vulnerable due to weakness 1) The non-smoker has to fight less he revert back to his harmful habit 2) The alcoholic must fight to keep from drinking alcohol 3) The kleptomaniac struggles not to steal 3. Now be honest. What is your besetting sin? a. Is it some habit? – the lottery? smoking? drinking? b. Is it some attitude? – prejudice? over-tolerance? envy? c. Is it some sin of the tongue? – gossip? lying? Filthy speech? d. Misplaced affection? – money? pleasure? preeminence? e. Is it a sin of the flesh? – unlawful sex? lust? petting? 4. Besetting sin can be overcome – 1 Cor. 10:13 |

[quote author=JahBwoy post=88361758]Hi guys. Wow never knew there would be a day I'd be posting on this side of the forum. Glory be to God. I'm finding my paths to spirituality. My goal has always been to establish a relationship, a Communion with God. Knowing that he is with me and hearing my prayers ... But I've been struggling with Marijuana addiction. And the devil often use this addiction to remind me of how far I am from God's grace. Even in the middle of prayers . It's unfortunate that I've made the habit a must do in my life and it is difficult to quit. Always thought a job could help me but I find myself using it as an escape to work stress. I'm at a point where I feel that this habit is the only thing separating me from God's entire will in my life. I have deep convictions that I have a ministry to fulfill. I have faith that it will soon be a thing of the past , as I continually seek God's intervention. Guys who has been in my shoes before? How did you overcome? How do you deal with the recurrent guilt ? I've got no guilt whatsoever, smoking joint under observation is no crime at all, neither is it a sin. I follow only the ultimate rule "do unto others what you want for yourself" |

[quote author=JahBwoy post=88361758][/quote]You are condemning yourself. You are receiving sin -verb- consciousNess. You don't understand the new civenant |
| Re: Christian Struggling With Marijuana Addiction by Crunchyg2: 1:21pm On May 23, 2021 |
JahBwoy:Don't beat yourself up anytime you see yourself falling back to it. Just know that you are still loved by God despite the mistake and that he is still with you because the devil will always want to use the guilt to make you feel you are far from God but always rebuke that spirit that tells you, you are far from God. But try as much as you can to avoid taking it and avoid areas that contribute to you wanting to take and maintain a strong prayer life with the habit as you prioritised prayer point . |

And people who take marijuana for health purposes will all go to hell i guessThis person is talking about an addiction. Think of the struggle he has found himself and the state of his mind. All you need to do is pray for him to find happiness. |

I must really thank you for this and for your journey through the help of the Holy Spirit. I have had exactly a problem with an 'addiction' too (though not on weed) which seems to be the only stumbling block between my God and I. I struggled with it for over 10 years and at a point in time gave up on the struggle. The way God orchestrated my deliverance I know, was by divine intervention. It happened within a jiffy of an eye! I know by the grace of God I am over it and now have peace with God. In essence, those things cannot be done by one's efforts or abilities. It takes God through the help of the Holy Spirit. Those who knows, will understand. In Conclusion This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Galatians 5:16-18 KJV. In peace I come! JahBwoy: |

JahBwoy:I stopped smoking immediate I was given a prophecy not to, unfortunately all the things promised to me when I was told to stop didn't show...still broke with a lot of projects on hand, bills and all the rest, yet I still don't smoke. Sometime I feel like smoking cause, (you know how the high is naw) but hear I am, the fool that still believes in God's word, even tho all around me, it is clear that being bad= being rich. |

JahBwoy:I was tired of reading your write up because you were speaking too many truth that many ignorant weed takers cannot comprehend. Believe me I am very happy for you. I must also beg you not to go back to your past - the lust of the flesh because these are the works and nature of the devils I know many guyz who ran mental (madness) because of weed and I could write you pages upon pages but you have said it all. The spirit of God keep speaking to you and you have obey His voice Keep loving God and following Him May the Good LORD JESUS bless ypu |

JahBwoy There was a time in my life I was addicted to internet porn. I must tell you that Internet porn is the greatest of all evil that proceed from the devils. Watching Internet porn will open the doors for demons of lust to possess me. These devils will give me the urge to masturbate and when I refuse they will torment me with sexual hornyness beyond my control. If I masturbate I will be free from torment but if I refuse to masturbate I will be tormented all day long. How did i become free from pornography:= mastubation? I saw troubles of life that made me to forget pornography and mastubation. Now it has been 10 years I havr not watch porn or mastubate. You can compare this to smoking. Smoking will eat you up and eat your spiritually life. Smoking will deprive you from God blessings. You have free will of choice: choose wisely |

JahBwoy:Wash away that addiction by the blood of Jesus Christ. [color=#0000FF]In the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I wash away from my heart addiction to marijuana. In the name of Jesus Christ.[/color] Say it several times each time, using your imagination to see the blood of Jesus washing your heart. |

@ JahBwoy You made a wrong choice to smoke. You made a mistake and mistake have consequences. Satan has release millions of demons to lure many youth into smaking and gambling. The devils will not force you, they will only surggest an tell you to do something then you obey and they take possession of you and your life completely. *Smoking will prevent God from being close to you. *Smoking will prevent the Holy spirit from possessing you be cos demon has already dwell in you giving you more urge to smoke. *Smoking will give access to the devils over you and your offspring *Smoking will prevent you from many good things that will come from God * You will never be free from spiritual attack as long as you smoke *Smoking will suppressed your spiritual powers in God *Smoking will diminish your anoiting within * Smoking can bring generation curse making your children to smoke *Through your sin will be transfered into the life of your children through (genetics) *Smoking will prevent you from financial blessings *Smoking will stop God purpose from your life. * Smoking will prevent you from your destiny. SOLUTION 1) Make the choice and say no more smoking 2) Lock yourself indoor and pray (fire prayer) volently everyday inside your house for just one month ( the fire) that will descend on you will chase the smoking demons away. The Devil not let you go without a fight Warning As you pray dont get angry in any given situation. |

jantman:Lol. You didn't understand what I wrote. I still don't smoke. And yes he does speak to me. It's the doing am worries about. Sometime I just wander why he let's all that so called bad people have it all. It looks as if he just rewards all those who go against what he says they should do. I can point to so many of them. And those that follow they Lord.? Their suffering no be here. |

jantman:I am sorry but all you have stated here is a lie and not according to the Word of God, Jesus Christ, the Law we are called to abide by. ![]() This man struggled with an addiction.... it could have been an addition to food even. And you know this from reading him teling you that he also had other addictions he fought with, even as he fought against this other habit. ![]() Smoking is not a sin as Jesus Christ made it clear in His teachings to us. If there be any sin in this case, it would be the lust in his heart that one could say drove him to making an idol out of mere passing activities. But I hold off on labeling them his sin since he never did get evaluated by a doctor to ensur4 he does not have a mental illness that makes him prone to addictive behaviour. ![]() |
| Re: Christian Struggling With Marijuana Addiction by JahBwoy(op): 8:16pm On May 23, 2021 |
Kobojunkie:.nah I take exception. Smoking is a sin because you will always be addicted to an extent. Trying to separate both the addiction/idolatry is not practical or logical |
