20 year smoker here,I didn’t want to quit smoking weed because I loved it. I was like George. Tried to justify it,but God knew how I really felt so I admitted it to God that I didn’t quit because I loved it (Flesh) I knew I had a calling. So I wanted to,but never could. Finally just came to the conclusion of I wouldn’t get sent to hell for smoking,but during judgement day,what if…God asks you,out of all those blunts how many of them led someone to me? Every time you lit up how many times did it glorify my name? I would be left speechless. I’m a barber and I do my best to speak Jesus to all my clients,and you know if they came in and seen me smoking and I tried to share the good news how much of what I said would be void or fall on deaf ears…that’s not what I want,we all are called to share the gospel… Finally I asked God take it from me,I can’t do it alone. I want to be in your will. Not mine. By the grace of God I am 6 months clean TODAY.
That’s incredible my friend! I’m in the middle of this challenge now. I know the lord is helping me get away from it. The decision is mine and for my trust in him to take!
@@opinionhated3104 we are yea but we still have responsibilities to fight sin in our lives an not say oh well we're gonna sin anyway may as well sin in ways that makes us happy or feel great
I'm 37, smoked since I was 13. 29 days clean after ACTUALLY repenting and getting rid of people, places and things. It helped me sleep and never been able to sleep well since I was 18. I'm miserable, uncomfortable, I have no confidence and question who I am alot. I still can't sleep more than 3 hours at a time. But my God is bigger, he keeps his promises, he's the Deliverer and healer... In due time God will provide sleep, confidence, joy, and I am starting to believe what my real identity is and it has nothing to do with THC. I basically had a calling and conviction from the Holy Spirit with him saying " I can't grow you and take you any further in your purpose without you surrendering this to me." I was devastated but I CHOSE to follow Jesus and I must be obedient and be made perfect in my suffering and pain. No matter what God is faithful and blessed obedience. I am whole in Him and because I love him I will continue to be sober and find joy in my misery because I know he will deliver me from it once my mind and traumas are healed. Thank you Jesus 🙏
Amen may god continue to bless your heart and spirit it’s takes a lot to admit and speak the truth about yourself , so you have the prayers of mine and others who go through similar battles within 🙏🏽
The Holy Spirit convicted me two weeks ago after being addicted to weed and having alcohol almost every day I will never go back to either He reached into my life and lifted it out of my life. The Greek work for witchcraft is Pharmacy in English. I started to smoke for migraines over a decade also could not sleep and after watching Andew Huberman on sleep and anxiety and alcohol and if you meditate on the Word your heartbeat will slow. All alcohol is a toxin one glass or not it crosses the blood brain barrier and am an advocate for sobriety. God’s love is transformative and we are called to not love things of this world.
It's only because you're only 29 days in... Or hopefully 2 months in at this point. That will all go away once youve been sober for longer. Smoked from 12 years old on and have backsliden on and off over the years and I have learned that I cannot be used to my full potential by God while high. Not just because I cant smoke in moderation but because it hampers my ambition, when Im high I dont want to talk to anyone let alone spread the gospel, dont even want to answer the door lol. Im sharp as a tack without it, God can speak through me to other people, defend the faith articulately etc. I still love it and thats the problem I love it so much it becomes a stumbling block and an idol. Stay sober minded the devil is roaming about looking for who he can devour. Were at war.
@@WestsideBallasThe truth is it’s hard. I smoked weed all day everyday for years and have quit and it is very hard at first. You might not sleep properly, you might get bored, depressed, anxious among many other things however we must all trust in the Holy Spirit within us and listen to what it tries to tell us. Remember it will be hard and you will suffer, but also remember that Jesus suffered first and much more for all of us and we should be inspired by that and his strength and know we can have that within us too if we keep trying hard enough like he did. Just know the process isn’t easy and isn’t meant to be easy but also try to take pleasure that you are joining Jesus in suffering and you’re doing it to try be closer to God. I’m not trying to tell you how to live your life or how to follow your faith or that I’m a better Christian than you but I just wanted to tell you my opinion and experience because I hope it may help you on your journey and you may take some comfort in knowing others share your hardships too. Take it as you will and good luck my friend, stay strong and do not be afraid.
If you're reading this please pray for me. I am stuck in a vicious cycle. I am a functioning alcoholic and then that turns into partying and then that turns into watching corn. I dont want to keep living like this. I want to be close to God.
I would reccomend going somewhere for detox no shame brother people will think you are brave for admiring you have a problem yourself get through the physical withdraws first and Embrace the suffering with Gladness the lord will show you what to cling to and what to run from it may not happen at once but the lord has said he delights in a poor and contrite head I know you feel like a monster some days and some you feel hopeless but remember when Jesus died on the cross He knew your sins and carried them for you ! There is hope my friend continue to seek him and cry when it is necessary knowing our giving to temptation bred addiction and broke his heart we will see the pain and surely turn away if we want to be surrounded by his glory which i know you do my friend but the lord knows what you are and aren’t capable of and you cannot change by your own strength but when you have been through the fire you will say the lord has done this thing and that day is coming continue to seek him and when He tests you just surrender trust me it will happen if you seek him with all your heart and follow this command first and foremost LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. Ask yourself this question, do you want to be hurt by another ? If not then remember when dealing with even the worst of people Love them and show them mercy pray to God to root out all sin it’s not just alcohol and corn it’s more but luckily our God doesn’t dabble in little projects He is the expert in creating perfect diamonds out of rough coal
Because you feel this way & the fact you are wanting God is an amazing sign that you will be close to the Lord & when your bad ass walks in this world with the Armor of God. Nothing can stop you.
I threw my last drugs away yesterday. I feel so much more free and I thank God. It has been a 6 month struggle, but I started to realize that I actually don't enjoy being drugged and my best moments are when I am close to the Lord. I also used to pray when high, because I thought I could focus better, but then my pastor told me "if you seek a relationship with Jesus, is it a good relationship when you only come to him when you're high?". Sober life is better, because whenever you are high and drugged up you make yourself unavailable to God and serve your flesh instead.
@@ginandcreme Matt 12:20 King James Bible A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
Knowing the God we serve, He wants us to call on him in our time of need. He doesn't want us to lean on food, cigarettes, drugs, our best friend, weed, alcohol, shopping, money, pleasure and the list goes on. He wants us to rely on Him. When we feel any emotion that drives us to lean on something, lean on Him. When we want to unwind after a hard day, unwind with Him. He is who gives us strength and fulfillment. Everything else is a false sense of security and slowly distances us from our creator. The enemy comes in the form of light and we must not be ignorant of his devices. Don't let him deceive you anymore, George. God bless you for sharing your struggles!
Now do modern medicine. Stop taking your blood pressure meds and rely on God! Oh, but I bet you can’t stop that high sugar, salt and processed food diet. Come on! Trust in God and stop all your medication
So when you’re hungry you pray and not eat? When your thirsty you pray and not go get water? He created the plant obviously satan has no power to create a plant, smoking anything is a sin if you could smoke holy water it would still be a sin because it’s hurting the body god put you in, eating it does ZERO damage. So elaborate on how LORD created it made it medicinal but he doesn’t want you to use it? Stop using the LORD against thing you don’t like or understand that in it self is a sin.
Some people say,”What must I do to be saved?” Other people say,”What can I get AWAY with and still CALL myself saved.” The fact that he’s TRYING so hard to justify it gives you your answer. It’s a heart posture.
i just stopped a few days ago. It is not even the same plant it once was and it 100% gives the devil power over you. Pray to Jesus Christ for Him to revealed the truth to you- He showed me in a dream it was satanic
@@sabrinasusen7463he's not idolizing it. If a doctor prescribes a patient marijuana due to having sleep issues, that person isnt idolizing marijuana. Neither is George for just wanting to partake in it to wind down. Its not a sin to partake in marijuana just as it isnt a sin to drink a beer. One idolizes it when they have to smoke it to do anything/abusing it, or smoking just to simply enjoy life. Yes, God does want us to have a sober mind, so in that aspect i dont think he likes if we get high, but i think thats as far as it goes.
@juliustaylor9920 some people don't make it an idol, but the way he spoke about it, the really desperate desire to get approva for smokingl, and continuing after the Holy Spirit is grieved (that why he feels so bad), yet he still wants to justify it. That to me looks like an idol. Especially bc it sounds like he does it every night. We're to deny our flesh, which is super hard, but that's what we should strive for, to set down pleasure and carry our cross. We're not to be of the world, doing all the same things. Do you regularly, diligently read the Word? If you did you'd find how Jesus called us to live and the grave seriousness of depending on something that isn't God.
Thank you for service bro, but i wanna let you know that Jesus can take that away permanently if you seek out to him with true faith. He loves you and cares for you 🤍
I am about three weeks removed from having the same internal conflict that George is describing here. I had the same reasons for smoking, I rationalized it, the same exact way, I kid you not what it came down to for me, is that my study of scripture has led me to believe That Christ is considerate of all people. Even though I didn’t feel like smoking, controlled me, the fact that I did smoke and claimed to live a life for Christ I believe was causing others to continue on with their abuse of weed, alcohol, food, or whatever else could be abused, and used to replace the presence of God in prayer and or meditation. If me stopping is going to influence even just one person to stop, leaning on anything of the world and replace that with a relationship with Jesus, then I believe that is the most Christlike, and considerate thing to do.
I am where you were. I don't drink, and all I do is read scripture, work, and pray when I smoke. It definitely makes me more productive in work [I sew], I love studying end time.phrophecy and talk about ut with everyone, and it never makes me sleepy and i never get the munchies. However I feel conflicted and talk to God about it. I also 'fast' from it. I just hate the conflict I feel bc of discussions like this. I also do not smoke when I'm depressed. But im still leaning towards stopping completely I'm gonna have to keep studying on this. Thanx for sharing
I’m 23 years old and I’m a complete alcoholic. It kills me everyday to fight this addiction… This demon. I also smoke a little weed too… but not enough to call it an addiction. Alcohol is my drug. What’s crazy is I hate it and I KNOW I need to stop. But I can’t… it has such a hold over me. I’ve been drinking since 18 and it’s gotten worse. I pray for power over this evil and I pray for control over my own life but dammit!!! It’s so strong on me. Please pray for me. I believe in Jesus and I read the Bible all the time. The Bible has shown me my falls, my sins… And I still feel this evil. Please pray for me.
I have stopped smoking about 3 months now, and I don't t miss it at all. A vial was removed, and everything opened up, and I am closer to God than I ever felt. The first day I woke up and a new voice came to me told to remove everything that was cannabis in my life. Never turn back since that day
I started smoking marijuana when I was 13 now I am 28. I felt God calling for awhile and finally gave in and realized that smoking was leading me to the abis. Now I am sober and gave my life to Jesus Christ. I feel so much joy in my heart/life that I really don’t even think about it. All I want is to get closer to my God.
This happens when we do don’t surrender to Jesus 💯 %. When we don’t give him total control we give into the flesh. It’s all a spiritual warfare. Remember the battlefield is in the mind. It’s like stepping out of your spiritual body and giving into the flesh. If you question things several times we may want to listen to what the spirit is trying to tell us. We all need to learn how to hear God’s voice. We can learn this by reading God’s word. The more we know who God is our faith and relationship grows more and more and we learn how to hear God’s voice. Always pray about everything until God gives you on answer.
The bottom line is your not going to hell for smoking a little weed. If you truly form an addiction to it or let it control your mind, will and emotions, have it take you away from God, or use it as a mask (or any other way that would attribute to a sin) then that’s a different story. We are all sinners, we will never be free from sin in this life, salvation is through faith in the LORD alone
Im not stopping because i don’t want to go to hell (fear). I’m stopping because I want to be my best version for God (hope + love) I also see smoking as a weakness. I pray dearly that God will deliver me from my weak ways.
Titus 2:11-13 KJV For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ
The Bible speaks about one of the fruits of the spirit of God being self-control you wouldn't need self-control if there weren't things that could be enjoyed moderately.
Certainly, people smoke for different reasons. Some do it to enhance simple pleasures like eating and watching a movie, while others use it to open up their minds and boost creativity. In the realm of cannabis, there are two main types: indica, which tends to induce relaxation and sleepiness, and sativa, known for its uplifting effects, making users more active and talkative.
Thank you for asking this question and for being honest about it. You spoke my exact thoughts, concerns and even “excuses” including the scripture from Genesis “ all herbs with seeds are good for consumption” plus there are more. The expounding is very helpful. I just want to sleep.
1 John 3:7-8 “Little children (believers, dear ones), do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who practices righteousness [the one who strives to live a consistently honorable life--in private as well as in public--and to conform to God’s precepts] is righteous, just as He is righteous. “The one who practices sin [separating himself from God, and offending Him by acts of disobedience, indifference, or rebellion] is of the devil [and takes his inner character and moral values from him, not God]; for the devil has sinned and violated God’s law from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. .”
This is a good topic. I would like to say the answer is really about conviction. If God convicts me of something it is wrong for me. Example. I can not drink one beer because I do not have the self control to stop so drinking makes me feel convicted so drinking is wrong for me. However, there may be some one who goes to dinner has a drink and that's it...they go home, they don't obsess about it, and they may go another 6 months before drinking again. Drinking is not wrong for them. If God is convicting you then it is wrong for you.
It’s crazy I’m seeing all these posts about weed and quitting weed, I’m currently 3 days clean quitting to become a Fire Fighter and I feel like this is meant to be. For everyone else struggling to quit or on the same journey, you got this!!💪🏽🙏🏽
I used to agree with George until went into prayer and asked god for clarity To become closer to the holy spirit you just be sober conscious. I’ve had extreme insomnia and anxiety and sometime I feel overwhelmed but I pray to the lord for clarity. However I know that it may not be like that for everyone. However I pray and pray and pray and can say that praying as many times as I smoked a day gives me the same feeling of relief. I believe that George may not stepping out of his lukewarm faith, that’s not me judging but it’s something that made me understand there is a deeper level to god than j praying for help and being a “good person “
I can see how smoking it every day can do more harm than good but it literally has brought me back to the Lord... I've asked God about it and He asked me in return, "Is it hurting you?"
im sooooo adhd, i cant read the bible without smoking, i tried adderall but didnt like the meds or the fact it made my heart race so much. i very much so enjoy smoking and watching a full sermon being able to full think about just this one thing.
I Met Mrs Cathie Wood last year for the first time at a church program, where she greeted a friend of mine also a church member, and fortunately for me, we exchanged contact and got along. What God cannot do, doesn't exist" I truly believe this word 100 percent❤❤❤
Jesus told his disciples follow me and they left everything behind and followed him. The fact that we even try to justify not leaving behind proves we should leave it behind. Does it bring us eternal life? love? peace? true inner peace?
I get overwhelmed with my thoughts, and it causes vertigo which causes dizzy spells when I stand up, and I lose my balance and I fall, which is dangerous… but smoking weed prevents vertigo for me
The answer is difficult to hear but yes many people will go to hell. Manny manny good people will go to hell. I have struggled with weed for 15 years, I came to the conclusion reading the Bible in full context several times, that we must stop now while we are still breathing. Grace is free but it comes after repentance not before. We must not be like the world, we are called out of the world when we choose to believe and follow Christ. Weed is sorcery, witchcraft, drunkard, and idolatry, I happen to love weed but I also love sex and that would be fornication or adultery depending on the situation out of marriage. God has made it clear that we must turn from our sins. People who continue to sin without change or doing there absolute best to change are called unbelievers. Even though they believe in God, they live for the devil and are trapped in slavery,bonded to sin and blind as bats. We must change. I believe it’s okay for certain people in a verrrry bad state but don’t get confused. It will cost you trading heaven for hell. No matter how nice you are. I wish it was ok but it ain’t ok. I gain no value for what I’m telling you. I care because I and you both don’t want to miss heaven. Not over stupid things like weed and sex or other similar things. God is very very forgiving but not if you don’t care to change.
I stopped smoking because I came to realize that if I need that more than God, it's an idol. I don't want to put anything before God. I felt smoking was me telling the Lord that I know you can do all things, but drugs do it better. No way was I going to continue projecting that, nor was I going to further contribute to the next generation mindset that's poisoned by this culture. The Lord helped me, though. I wasn't smart enough to figure this out on my own understanding. I started seeking Jesus. Getting closer and closer. Learning more and more. The Lord was patiently guiding me. When I 1st started reading, I remember coming across a scripture that said, he that eats of my bread will no longer hunger....I was always puzzled as to what could that possibly mean...fast forward many years later, while sitting with my wife, I noticed I didn't have my old desires no more. Not even the struggle of the desires I once had. It wasn't just the weed....it was chasing women, disrespect to others, angry aggression, chasing that illegal dollar, etc. I said to my wife, "Wow, I finally think I know what that scripture meant.... Jesus' bread fulfilled me to the point that I didn't even have room for those things anymore. Now, my mind stays on HIM and trying to better my ways and testify to everyone I can about HIS gracious love that I don't even deserve. Thank you, Father Also, I dont know the answer to if it's ok to smoke. It's my answer and my sacrifice to God. I would rather spend my life without weed rather then take the chance of spending eternity without God.
I've asked the same question for years and then He the Holy Spirit said it's because of my heart and how I can relate to others on the same substance easier compared to a person approaching with a Bible. I gave up on the harsher drugs and alcohol a long time ago and this was the only thing that people would throw at me because what I share of the trinity. I believe that if you give it all your righteousness in sharing your truth through the hardships and how I'm still here standing it has to be for a purpose. If GOD were to erase everything you've believed to know. How would we know about what is evil or good? If you think it's bad then it's bad because that's what you yourself believe. God did grow it and I'm sure it's not the tree of knowledge. And if you do smoke it I'm more than positive that it's not for a malicious reason against yourself righteously. In other words I wouldn't put judgment on them over it.
U answered your own question saying weed makes you anxious with paranoia of sinning. I decided to let go of smoking because while I was high I would be anxious, paranoid, and have negative thoughts… and anything that makes you feel that way is automatically not from the lord but the enemy! Watching this I think it’s clear that YOU want to smoke, more than you might truly want to please the lord. Really think about it! I think you know the answer to this one. If you’re still smoking a lot that is.
Im not a drinker, but I been Blazing since '01 everyday all day. Substance abuse is the issue. Affects other people differently. Some people can use weed in a non abusive way like George. Some people like myself took it in abusive way that led to me trying other substances. Weed has lead me away from church to use weed. Today im still using, but recently been in search for my Faith in Jesus. Prior to '00 I was very faithful to the lord. I miss my faith. So I believe It depends on the user. Thanks George for this conversation.
Hi! Back again… I smoke and do my job as a mechanical engineer. And I got to work on and be a part of the successful Sea Change - UCLA project that turns our oceans in carbon sinks thus winning the Time 2023 Invention of the Year Award. The answers come smoothly when the conduits to God are opened. Think of it as a closed hydraulic system. If you push down on one side, the other side goes up. If the physical diminishes - the spiritual increases. I have avoided accidents on the highway by slowing down for “no reason” only to have my wife ask me “why are you slowing down” and shortly after a car darted into our lane where we would have been had I not slowed down. That’s just one example. Because of my stance within my organization I have had “hits” put on my life & have narrowly escaped other highway accidents that were planned. Listen to your instincts. Cannabis helps you to listen to your “gut” other (2) senses that we have: (5) normal ones, our conscience and God’s direction = (7) senses. God’s direction is often misappropriated as “ESP” … it’s not ESP. Who is “the god of your bellies”? God or ($atan).
1. Holy smoke was supposed to be in the temple at all times. 2. “The ruler of the authority of the air” is ($atan), breathing in God’s Holy Smoke is a REPRIEVE from breathing in the “authority of the air” of this system. 3. Everything is poison in this world. Our food is poisoned. 4. The Holy Anointing oil contained Cannabis NOT sweet calamus Thank you for the educational conversation. & thank you for defending cannabis, to a certain extent. Protect your body by feeding your endoCANNABINOID system. Cannabis + Endocannabinoid System = whole body healing. Pray for clarity. Jah will grant clarity to you.
Lots of rationalizing here. Most of the long term effects of having a habitual relationship with marijuana have been overwhelmingly bad in my experience. I’ve been through this multiple times in my life and I can honestly say, at least for me, it’s a clear answer, for many reasons, not good, stay away from it. Much happier overall when it’s not in my life, although in the middle of the addiction I’m not excited about quitting because it’s a rough month or two stabilizing back to normal.
Romans 14:21 [21] It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak. You never know who's struggling with drug addiction, if what you do contributes to your brother stumbling you may wanna think about giving it up for his benifit.
If you’re drinking, smoking, or partaking in any mind altering substances you’re underestimating how crafty and subtle the devil is and how imperative it is to be vigilant and sober minded at ALL times.
It’s just like wine. It’s allowed, but in moderation. The problem isn’t using it or alcohol. The problem comes when you over due it. If you smoke every day all day, and or when you drink if you don’t know how to have a few and not get drunk.
Please pray for me. Im struggling with both weed and tobacco .. i know deep down its wrong but i cant seem to stop. I feel like its dulling my connection with him.
I love that you are truly looking into this because you want to know and that takes honestly. The reason you are feeling anxiety over it and feeling like you’re letting God down is because He is convicting you about it. That feeling is the Holy Spirit telling you it’s wrong. I’ve had so many things like that where I was like God is this wrong? And the answer is usually that if I’m asking Him I already know it is wrong.
Moderation means not overdoing things nor underdoing them. Remember you can stay happy as long as there are no corresponding pains according to Epicurus. The wise man drinks a little to attain pleasure but not so much as he will cause himself a hangover (Pain).
About 3 minutes in & everyone was in stitches.., I thought 'everyone might have been high' at that point!?!... I couldn't believe some of the things I was hearing, I didn't really see what Christianity had to do with what everyone was talking about, everything just seemed like it wasn't really a conversation with god involved 'until ..the guy in the teal/green shirt started to speak, so it was interesting that something eventually came..,it just didn't seem to be much more than something in a chilled conversation. If getting drunk is a sin, smoking a joint is the same. If it's 'needed' to chill someone out & your doing things like this guy says, "I'm wired up & I don't know how to unwind"...if you're a Christian, why not just pray, why not just have faith & ask for help, rather than putting something in your body 'that you choose', rather than just showing fealty to god & have faith that he'll help you, rather than make excuses that 'what you like, what you wanna do & what you think is right', rather than what god thinks!?
The reason why I smoke weed is because of last year fr fr. I Almost lost my life ; research it brazy but Icl God doesn’t want us to have weed.affects mind thought process
@@toast4975Drugs were used in pretty much every religious ceremony for the majority of time. Sobriety is a relatively modern concept used to generate money for the state through the justice and medical institutions by creating criminals and an underground, untaxed market. There are historical and political reasons for the demonization of drugs, God’s will isn’t one of them.
i vaped on Delta 8 and HHC. I did it for 2 years. It took me off the Gods path. It was distracting me too much. It also took me from the gym. In other words it kept me from achieving what I need to do in life and spiritually.
Much love for this. I battle the same thing everyday. I enjoy Marijuana but do i abuse of it for smoking everyday before going to bed. Only God Knows. That why only god could judge me!
So this is a discussion that I have quite frequently within myself. I deal with anxiety, depression, PTSD, suicidal thoughts, anxiety paralysis….etc etc. I take plenty of medication but somedays it just keeps the bad days from getting worse. I wasn’t an alcoholic for years until I found weed. I didn’t believe in anything either. While I’m sober I just don’t feel the presence the holy spirt. I just feel the demons that have laid wastet throughout my life. It’s not until just a touch of marijuana do I feel god. I understand the battle of a sober mind but it always just feels like hollow emptiness. Like casting my prayers into a void. It’s a complete different manifestation with just a little bit of help. Still I very interesting discussion to say the least.
Don’t light it up with a butane lighter!! That’s what gets ya! This was hilarious, super relatable, and yeah-let the Holy Spirit lead, cause He knows your weaknesses and wants to provide a way out of that. If I have one glass of wine, I will probably have two or three. And that’s way worse for me than a fat J. I’m super duper holistic though, granola and grass fed jerky fallin out of our pockets over here😅 What helps me, is to try and put Him first before I feed myself, whether it’s media, food, drink, or chilling. That way what you do next is more moderate. Like visiting dad. Keeps you balanced. This was such a great video!
I cd an have a drink and go months without even thinking about another drink. I’ve never used it to cope. But weed, i had realized i was addicted, and even though i was okay and my life was alright . I wasn’t being at my best, I just did enough. So i stopped, for good. Not saying others shouldn’t but I know for me it is hindering me…
Bro this is sad how far ppl are from God they love the things of the world more than Christ! Few will enter the kingdom of God this verse is more true than ever
Just because something is permissible, Doesn't make it beneficial! My friend it is just this simple. If you have to go this far to find out if it is wrong or not, you already know the answer. You have already said it multiple times in this video. You feel it's wrong so there's your answer. It's not a blanket right or wrong. The question is is it wrong for you? It doesn't matter if it is for someone else, it's your personal relationship with Christ. I will end with this and I believe it will help answer your question. Regardless of the substance or any other questionable material ask yourself this question and you will always find your answers right away. " As a Christian, Does what you're doing glorify God?" God Bless
Your conscience/spirit is telling you it’s wrong that’s why you are questioning it, it’s a conviction for you, and if you do anything that is convicting you not to do it is sin for you

When I was in my 30's I had a lump that came and went 2 or 3 times, this lump was in the tissue in my right chess muscle. I went to the doctor and they did a biopsy and it was a build up of t.h.c.
I grow weed and smoke weed. But it doesn’t control my life. If you find yourself smoking everyday or wanting to smoke out of desperation, you gotta check yourself. You have to find balance before you add these imbalances (drugs) to your life. Otherwise they will consume you. Even something mild like weed. Teachers. Healers. Friends. This is the role of a drug. Do not make a drug you LOVER. Do not fall in love with drugs. This is the danger, in my view EDIT: YES!! MEDITATE EVERYONE SHOULD MEDITATE
Man I wish I had a joint right now... That being said I also wish that God could just heal my cannabinoid receptors and grant me those feelings from within so that I don't have to circumvent the law or be scared of the police :(
I had an ungodly attachment to weed so I personally will never touch it ever again, but I do like their final conclusion which is moderation. If it takes hold of your life, it’s time to stop.
Spirts behind it. Escapism just like getting drunk. Boredom. Anxiety? Guilt? All from the enemy. I would say pray about it, the Lord will confirm. Secondly, if everyone is doing it.. does it mean we should? Im not judging, I am telling you anything that alters our cognitive coherance could open the doors to spirits… 1 Peter 8:9 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Do we want to give the enemy a foothold? I mean I used to have a few beer after I put my kids to bed years ago to drowned out all those voices because I lost everything and some of my greatest revelations came I wasn’t drunk, but I was relaxed and still enough to hear his voice. But then, as we grow in our walk with Christ and Lead, others out of captivity the only reason I drink was to escape and had a yearning desire to have somebody just listen to me and love me unconditionally. So whats the motive? If we depend on anything for comfort more than the COMFORTER. But, Thats btwn you and God. Ya know.
Great vibes, I love it. I use weed the same as I would for a glass of wine but much less. I haven’t done it in a while, but I do it sometimes here and there, very very tiny amounts before some workouts at the gym, or going for a run, or doing paperwork and making estimates, and sometimes after I hike a mountain, at the top I would meditate. In wine comparison, it would be only a few sips, but it really makes the difference for focus and it never gave me a feeling of drifting from God. I don’t need it but it is nice sometimes and I do prefer it over alcohol. I do agree with being able to control it, alcohol can bring friends and family together but it can also tear it apart.
The way George is acting is exactly why I can’t stand potheads and people who smoke weed. Just talking about it turns him from an intelligent person who loves the Lord into a juggalo screaming about how it’s the greatest thing ever
Romans 12:1- Therefore, I appeal to you by the compassions of God, brothers, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, a sacred service with your power of reason. This verse means that in order for us to be acceptable to God, we have to take care of our bodies on a daily basis. Smoking weed or smoking anything (we are breathing in chemicals and things that harm us); this overall means that we aren’t taking care of our bodies. So we should stay away from things that harm us so we can be acceptable to God.
I honestly couldn't be as pleasant as I am at work if I didn't smoke throughout my shift I smoked on my work breaks to keep me calm and in a positive atmosphere mentally or else I can be a completely different person than my Stoner self/nice side
God knew in the beginning we couldn't survive on him alone that's why he looked at Adam and Eve and told him that they could eat from all the trees in the garden except for one
No, we as Christians are asked to be sober minded as Peter instructs. There’s people that born again and many of the things they drop instantly is any substance they use, so why would it be ok for others to do smoke?
1 Peter 5:8-9 ESV Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. im open to any objections trying to learn and understand
If you cut your arm open, God isn’t going to heal the wound for you, he gave you a mind and hands so you can do it yourself. Just like with marijuana, whatever purpose someone would need it for, is why God put it there. The only thing God specifically mentioned was alcohol, and not to use it to drunkenness. Sober is used once in the Bible and the word sober itself refers to alcohol alone as well. When someone is in visceral pain, we give them what is essentially medicinal heroin. Everything has a purpose, and if something means nothing to you doesn’t mean it means nothing to someone else.
This mean being closed to God. Sober minded is being demonic less. Once you cut out demon in your mind in whatever you do in life you are self controlled. AMEN!!
I used to smoke all day everyday, drink heavy on the weekends. I asked God one night in fervent prayer if it’s ok, welp, let’s just say that I don’t smoke weed or drink alcohol anymore, it’s been replaced with prayer and scripture study which I feel much better about. God bless yall.
@@TravisOngley if one of your family members was sick and you said that you believed in God one day and they were healed, i wouldn't tell you you're crazy for that, i would congratulate your family member getting healed!! If thats whats bringing you peace then why would i break that down for you. Just food for thought not trying to attack you just want people to be nicer to people even if they dont see eye to eye, because what if your comment makes him go back to that state!
Holy Spirit dropped this in my noggin a while back, just as soldiers at war have to be sober and ready to fight, so we as Christians have to be ready for the spiritual battle we are in at all times. How silly we look when we are drunk and high with our guard down in this perishing world. Be of a sober mind at all times.
@@ninahouseofflavors9998 bro I’m struggling with shit a little worse than weed, haven’t smoked in a while but I find myself falling into behaviors I thought I put away, pease pray for me

I smoked weed for 10 years. I am 27 now. Everytime I would get high I would always felt convicted….I decided to stop completely and I instantly started to have dreams, vivid real dreams. I had one more “urge” to smoke weed to get high because I was battling anxiety and just boredom. I went to bed that night sober and God came to me in both my dreams. I saw a different life for myself and I saw how God could work in my life if I just did not smoke weed anymore. Ever since I had those dreams I never once desired to smoke weed anymore. God has a calling for all of us and we all have a responsibility to take care of the body (temple) God has blessed us with. You have the freedom to do what you want, but remember that everything you do alive on earth God has an account of it and he will ask you why you did the things you did. Seek Jesus Christ and believe with all your heart and he will reveal his plans for you. I’m very thankful I was able to quit smoking and get right with Jesus ✝️
@ChildofGod-qz2pj if you can’t dream, then you can’t see your destiny. The Bible talks about how GOD speaks to us in dreams and visions. If you are not receiving dreams and visions from GOD, then you are receiving them from the enemy. If your visions and dreams come from the enemy, then your true destiny has been highjacked and you will fail in all that you set your hands to.
Intention is important. Relaxation is one thing. Escapism or to heal is another issue. I used shrooms and dmt. During an Ayahuasca ceremony, Jesus showed up and told me to stop lifting the hood and poking at the spirit. He said I AM the mechanic, not you. TRUST ME 🙏🏽 Praise God
@@bankhead1 you’re missing the point, being intoxicated is a sin. Doing it willfully is what has you on the road to hell. Following Jesus is part of repentance of your sins. If you need help getting free from this then plenty of Christians can help you.
The fact he started out by saying “this is a demon I’ve been trying to fight for a long time” answers your question right there.. getting high is something that feeds your fleshly desires and if you’re truly led by the Holy Spirit you wouldn’t smoke, don’t be deceived by sin.
"He" is flawed and imperfect, so the fact that he calls it his demons makes it that "HIS". God gave us all the things of the earth as well as self control, wine is to purify our stomachs, people choose to take it to drunkenness, does not mean it's against God, evil, or a sin. All natural things given by God are perfect and good, don't allow man to make evil what God has made good because of their feeling, trust in God. Don't you people realize this is what we used before Big Pharma, but because of legislation you're using the bible to preach against the words of God
20 year smoker here,I didn’t want to quit smoking weed because I loved it. I was like George. Tried to justify it,but God knew how I really felt so I admitted it to God that I didn’t quit because I loved it (Flesh) I knew I had a calling. So I wanted to,but never could. Finally just came to the conclusion of I wouldn’t get sent to hell for smoking,but during judgement day,what if…God asks you,out of all those blunts how many of them led someone to me? Every time you lit up how many times did it glorify my name? I would be left speechless. I’m a barber and I do my best to speak Jesus to all my clients,and you know if they came in and seen me smoking and I tried to share the good news how much of what I said would be void or fall on deaf ears…that’s not what I want,we all are called to share the gospel…
Finally I asked God take it from me,I can’t do it alone. I want to be in your will. Not mine. By the grace of God I am 6 months clean TODAY.
That’s incredible my friend! I’m in the middle of this challenge now. I know the lord is helping me get away from it. The decision is mine and for my trust in him to take!
That's beautiful please pray for me bro to overcome weed I'm in recovery but I smoke every day it's helped me I feel but I do want to be free
All have sin and fallen short of the glory of God.. period.. remember we're no longer under the law, we're now under grace 🙏
Amen
@@opinionhated3104 we are yea but we still have responsibilities to fight sin in our lives an not say oh well we're gonna sin anyway may as well sin in ways that makes us happy or feel great
I'm 37, smoked since I was 13. 29 days clean after ACTUALLY repenting and getting rid of people, places and things. It helped me sleep and never been able to sleep well since I was 18. I'm miserable, uncomfortable, I have no confidence and question who I am alot. I still can't sleep more than 3 hours at a time. But my God is bigger, he keeps his promises, he's the Deliverer and healer... In due time God will provide sleep, confidence, joy, and I am starting to believe what my real identity is and it has nothing to do with THC. I basically had a calling and conviction from the Holy Spirit with him saying " I can't grow you and take you any further in your purpose without you surrendering this to me." I was devastated but I CHOSE to follow Jesus and I must be obedient and be made perfect in my suffering and pain. No matter what God is faithful and blessed obedience. I am whole in Him and because I love him I will continue to be sober and find joy in my misery because I know he will deliver me from it once my mind and traumas are healed. Thank you Jesus 🙏
Amen may god continue to bless your heart and spirit it’s takes a lot to admit and speak the truth about yourself , so you have the prayers of mine and others who go through similar battles within 🙏🏽
Cant u help me do it too?
The Holy Spirit convicted me two weeks ago after being addicted to weed and having alcohol almost every day I will never go back to either He reached into my life and lifted it out of my life. The Greek work for witchcraft is Pharmacy in English. I started to smoke for migraines over a decade also could not sleep and after watching Andew Huberman on sleep and anxiety and alcohol and if you meditate on the Word your heartbeat will slow. All alcohol is a toxin one glass or not it crosses the blood brain barrier and am an advocate for sobriety. God’s love is transformative and we are called to not love things of this world.
It's only because you're only 29 days in... Or hopefully 2 months in at this point. That will all go away once youve been sober for longer. Smoked from 12 years old on and have backsliden on and off over the years and I have learned that I cannot be used to my full potential by God while high. Not just because I cant smoke in moderation but because it hampers my ambition, when Im high I dont want to talk to anyone let alone spread the gospel, dont even want to answer the door lol. Im sharp as a tack without it, God can speak through me to other people, defend the faith articulately etc. I still love it and thats the problem I love it so much it becomes a stumbling block and an idol. Stay sober minded the devil is roaming about looking for who he can devour. Were at war.
@@WestsideBallasThe truth is it’s hard. I smoked weed all day everyday for years and have quit and it is very hard at first.
You might not sleep properly, you might get bored, depressed, anxious among many other things however we must all trust in the Holy Spirit within us and listen to what it tries to tell us.
Remember it will be hard and you will suffer, but also remember that Jesus suffered first and much more for all of us and we should be inspired by that and his strength and know we can have that within us too if we keep trying hard enough like he did.
Just know the process isn’t easy and isn’t meant to be easy but also try to take pleasure that you are joining Jesus in suffering and you’re doing it to try be closer to God.
I’m not trying to tell you how to live your life or how to follow your faith or that I’m a better Christian than you but I just wanted to tell you my opinion and experience because I hope it may help you on your journey and you may take some comfort in knowing others share your hardships too.
Take it as you will and good luck my friend, stay strong and do not be afraid.
If you're reading this please pray for me. I am stuck in a vicious cycle. I am a functioning alcoholic and then that turns into partying and then that turns into watching corn. I dont want to keep living like this. I want to be close to God.
God please bless this person to follow Your will and live a sober and holy life
In Jesus name,
Amen
I would reccomend going somewhere for detox no shame brother people will think you are brave for admiring you have a problem yourself get through the physical withdraws first and Embrace the suffering with Gladness the lord will show you what to cling to and what to run from it may not happen at once but the lord has said he delights in a poor and contrite head I know you feel like a monster some days and some you feel hopeless but remember when Jesus died on the cross He knew your sins and carried them for you ! There is hope my friend continue to seek him and cry when it is necessary knowing our giving to temptation bred addiction and broke his heart we will see the pain and surely turn away if we want to be surrounded by his glory which i know you do my friend but the lord knows what you are and aren’t capable of and you cannot change by your own strength but when you have been through the fire you will say the lord has done this thing and that day is coming continue to seek him and when He tests you just surrender trust me it will happen if you seek him with all your heart and follow this command first and foremost LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.
Ask yourself this question, do you want to be hurt by another ? If not then remember when dealing with even the worst of people Love them and show them mercy pray to God to root out all sin it’s not just alcohol and corn it’s more but luckily our God doesn’t dabble in little projects He is the expert in creating perfect diamonds out of rough coal
You may need deliverance
Because you feel this way & the fact you are wanting God is an amazing sign that you will be close to the Lord & when your bad ass walks in this world with the Armor of God. Nothing can stop you.
A demon spirit or personality has control over your decisions
I threw my last drugs away yesterday. I feel so much more free and I thank God. It has been a 6 month struggle, but I started to realize that I actually don't enjoy being drugged and my best moments are when I am close to the Lord.
I also used to pray when high, because I thought I could focus better, but then my pastor told me "if you seek a relationship with Jesus, is it a good relationship when you only come to him when you're high?". Sober life is better, because whenever you are high and drugged up you make yourself unavailable to God and serve your flesh instead.
HalleluYah 🙌🕊️💕
Amen , Good job brother keep going , God bless
Matt 12 :20 shows you got deceived
@@midt106 do tell your interpretation of that chapter
@@ginandcreme Matt 12:20
King James Bible
A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
Knowing the God we serve, He wants us to call on him in our time of need. He doesn't want us to lean on food, cigarettes, drugs, our best friend, weed, alcohol, shopping, money, pleasure and the list goes on. He wants us to rely on Him. When we feel any emotion that drives us to lean on something, lean on Him. When we want to unwind after a hard day, unwind with Him. He is who gives us strength and fulfillment. Everything else is a false sense of security and slowly distances us from our creator. The enemy comes in the form of light and we must not be ignorant of his devices. Don't let him deceive you anymore, George. God bless you for sharing your struggles!
Yes!
Now do modern medicine. Stop taking your blood pressure meds and rely on God! Oh, but I bet you can’t stop that high sugar, salt and processed food diet. Come on! Trust in God and stop all your medication
Well said
Yeshua literally turned water to wine. So alcohol is a devine drink.
So when you’re hungry you pray and not eat? When your thirsty you pray and not go get water? He created the plant obviously satan has no power to create a plant, smoking anything is a sin if you could smoke holy water it would still be a sin because it’s hurting the body god put you in, eating it does ZERO damage. So elaborate on how LORD created it made it medicinal but he doesn’t want you to use it? Stop using the LORD against thing you don’t like or understand that in it self is a sin.
Some people say,”What must I do to be saved?”
Other people say,”What can I get AWAY with and still CALL myself saved.”
The fact that he’s TRYING so hard to justify it gives you your answer.
It’s a heart posture.
Thank you Destrey34 very very true
As a fellow Christian who also partakes i appreciate this discussion.thank you
i just stopped a few days ago. It is not even the same plant it once was and it 100% gives the devil power over you. Pray to Jesus Christ for Him to revealed the truth to you- He showed me in a dream it was satanic
We're to be sober minded. And he's making it an idol. Anything you rely on that's not God, it's an idol.
@@sabrinasusen7463 amen
@@sabrinasusen7463he's not idolizing it. If a doctor prescribes a patient marijuana due to having sleep issues, that person isnt idolizing marijuana. Neither is George for just wanting to partake in it to wind down. Its not a sin to partake in marijuana just as it isnt a sin to drink a beer. One idolizes it when they have to smoke it to do anything/abusing it, or smoking just to simply enjoy life. Yes, God does want us to have a sober mind, so in that aspect i dont think he likes if we get high, but i think thats as far as it goes.
@juliustaylor9920 some people don't make it an idol, but the way he spoke about it, the really desperate desire to get approva for smokingl, and continuing after the Holy Spirit is grieved (that why he feels so bad), yet he still wants to justify it. That to me looks like an idol. Especially bc it sounds like he does it every night.
We're to deny our flesh, which is super hard, but that's what we should strive for, to set down pleasure and carry our cross. We're not to be of the world, doing all the same things.
Do you regularly, diligently read the Word? If you did you'd find how Jesus called us to live and the grave seriousness of depending on something that isn't God.

Speaking as a person who was delivered from smoking for my anxiety and adhd, I was delivered from it all!!!!
I am about three weeks removed from having the same internal conflict that George is describing here. I had the same reasons for smoking, I rationalized it, the same exact way, I kid you not what it came down to for me, is that my study of scripture has led me to believe That Christ is considerate of all people. Even though I didn’t feel like smoking, controlled me, the fact that I did smoke and claimed to live a life for Christ I believe was causing others to continue on with their abuse of weed, alcohol, food, or whatever else could be abused, and used to replace the presence of God in prayer and or meditation. If me stopping is going to influence even just one person to stop, leaning on anything of the world and replace that with a relationship with Jesus, then I believe that is the most Christlike, and considerate thing to do.
I am where you were. I don't drink, and all I do is read scripture, work, and pray when I smoke. It definitely makes me more productive in work [I sew], I love studying end time.phrophecy and talk about ut with everyone, and it never makes me sleepy and i never get the munchies. However I feel conflicted and talk to God about it. I also 'fast' from it. I just hate the conflict I feel bc of discussions like this. I also do not smoke when I'm depressed. But im still leaning towards stopping completely I'm gonna have to keep studying on this. Thanx for sharing
I’m 23 years old and I’m a complete alcoholic. It kills me everyday to fight this addiction… This demon. I also smoke a little weed too… but not enough to call it an addiction. Alcohol is my drug. What’s crazy is I hate it and I KNOW I need to stop. But I can’t… it has such a hold over me. I’ve been drinking since 18 and it’s gotten worse. I pray for power over this evil and I pray for control over my own life but dammit!!! It’s so strong on me. Please pray for me. I believe in Jesus and I read the Bible all the time. The Bible has shown me my falls, my sins… And I still feel this evil. Please pray for me.

This was a great conversation. What I took away from this is "understanding and purpose"
I have stopped smoking about 3 months now, and I don't t miss it at all. A vial was removed, and everything opened up, and I am closer to God than I ever felt. The first day I woke up and a new voice came to me told to remove everything that was cannabis in my life. Never turn back since that day
George reaffirms his anxiety each time he said “ I have anxiety “
He’s owning it
Each time
I started smoking marijuana when I was 13 now I am 28. I felt God calling for awhile and finally gave in and realized that smoking was leading me to the abis. Now I am sober and gave my life to Jesus Christ. I feel so much joy in my heart/life that I really don’t even think about it. All I want is to get closer to my God.
This happens when we do don’t surrender to Jesus 💯 %. When we don’t give him total control we give into the flesh. It’s all a spiritual warfare. Remember the battlefield is in the mind. It’s like stepping out of your spiritual body and giving into the flesh. If you question things several times we may want to listen to what the spirit is trying to tell us. We all need to learn how to hear God’s voice. We can learn this by reading God’s word. The more we know who God is our faith and relationship grows more and more and we learn how to hear God’s voice. Always pray about everything until God gives you on answer.
The bottom line is your not going to hell for smoking a little weed. If you truly form an addiction to it or let it control your mind, will and emotions, have it take you away from God, or use it as a mask (or any other way that would attribute to a sin) then that’s a different story. We are all sinners, we will never be free from sin in this life, salvation is through faith in the LORD alone
Im not stopping because i don’t want to go to hell (fear).
I’m stopping because I want to be my best version for God (hope + love)
I also see smoking as a weakness.
I pray dearly that God will deliver me from my weak ways.
Titus 2:11-13 KJV
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ
Ephesians 5:18 says, "And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit".
I was scared to watch this for the longest, I’m thankful for this. Everything George said is where my mind is.
The Bible speaks about one of the fruits of the spirit of God being self-control you wouldn't need self-control if there weren't things that could be enjoyed moderately.
Certainly, people smoke for different reasons. Some do it to enhance simple pleasures like eating and watching a movie, while others use it to open up their minds and boost creativity. In the realm of cannabis, there are two main types: indica, which tends to induce relaxation and sleepiness, and sativa, known for its uplifting effects, making users more active and talkative.
Thank you for asking this question and for being honest about it. You spoke my exact thoughts, concerns and even “excuses” including the scripture from Genesis “ all herbs with seeds are good for consumption” plus there are more. The expounding is very helpful.
I just want to sleep.
1 John 3:7-8
“Little children (believers, dear ones), do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who practices righteousness [the one who strives to live a consistently honorable life--in private as well as in public--and to conform to God’s precepts] is righteous, just as He is righteous.
“The one who practices sin [separating himself from God, and offending Him by acts of disobedience, indifference, or rebellion] is of the devil [and takes his inner character and moral values from him, not God]; for the devil has sinned and violated God’s law from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. .”
This is a good topic. I would like to say the answer is really about conviction. If God convicts me of something it is wrong for me. Example. I can not drink one beer because I do not have the self control to stop so drinking makes me feel convicted so drinking is wrong for me. However, there may be some one who goes to dinner has a drink and that's it...they go home, they don't obsess about it, and they may go another 6 months before drinking again. Drinking is not wrong for them. If God is convicting you then it is wrong for you.

To become closer to the holy spirit you just be sober conscious.

However I pray and pray and pray and can say that praying as many times as I smoked a day gives me the same feeling of relief.
I believe that George may not stepping out of his lukewarm faith, that’s not me judging but it’s something that made me understand there is a deeper level to god than j praying for help and being a “good person “
I can see how smoking it every day can do more harm than good but it literally has brought me back to the Lord...
I've asked God about it and He asked me in return, "Is it hurting you?"
im sooooo adhd, i cant read the bible without smoking, i tried adderall but didnt like the meds or the fact it made my heart race so much. i very much so enjoy smoking and watching a full sermon being able to full think about just this one thing.

😱Sounds familiar, I have heard her name on several occasions.. and both her success stories in the wall Street journal!!!
Jesus told his disciples follow me and they left everything behind and followed him. The fact that we even try to justify not leaving behind proves we should leave it behind. Does it bring us eternal life? love? peace? true inner peace?
I get overwhelmed with my thoughts, and it causes vertigo which causes dizzy spells when I stand up, and I lose my balance and I fall, which is dangerous… but smoking weed prevents vertigo for me
I wish they would just get to the exact point and answer the question.
I agree
The answer is difficult to hear but yes many people will go to hell. Manny manny good people will go to hell. I have struggled with weed for 15 years, I came to the conclusion reading the Bible in full context several times, that we must stop now while we are still breathing. Grace is free but it comes after repentance not before. We must not be like the world, we are called out of the world when we choose to believe and follow Christ. Weed is sorcery, witchcraft, drunkard, and idolatry, I happen to love weed but I also love sex and that would be fornication or adultery depending on the situation out of marriage. God has made it clear that we must turn from our sins. People who continue to sin without change or doing there absolute best to change are called unbelievers. Even though they believe in God, they live for the devil and are trapped in slavery,bonded to sin and blind as bats. We must change. I believe it’s okay for certain people in a verrrry bad state but don’t get confused. It will cost you trading heaven for hell. No matter how nice you are. I wish it was ok but it ain’t ok. I gain no value for what I’m telling you. I care because I and you both don’t want to miss heaven. Not over stupid things like weed and sex or other similar things. God is very very forgiving but not if you don’t care to change.
The point of this whole convo is we all fall short of the glory of God
I stopped smoking because I came to realize that if I need that more than God, it's an idol. I don't want to put anything before God. I felt smoking was me telling the Lord that I know you can do all things, but drugs do it better. No way was I going to continue projecting that, nor was I going to further contribute to the next generation mindset that's poisoned by this culture. The Lord helped me, though. I wasn't smart enough to figure this out on my own understanding. I started seeking Jesus. Getting closer and closer. Learning more and more. The Lord was patiently guiding me. When I 1st started reading, I remember coming across a scripture that said, he that eats of my bread will no longer hunger....I was always puzzled as to what could that possibly mean...fast forward many years later, while sitting with my wife, I noticed I didn't have my old desires no more. Not even the struggle of the desires I once had. It wasn't just the weed....it was chasing women, disrespect to others, angry aggression, chasing that illegal dollar, etc. I said to my wife, "Wow, I finally think I know what that scripture meant.... Jesus' bread fulfilled me to the point that I didn't even have room for those things anymore. Now, my mind stays on HIM and trying to better my ways and testify to everyone I can about HIS gracious love that I don't even deserve. Thank you, Father
Also, I dont know the answer to if it's ok to smoke. It's my answer and my sacrifice to God. I would rather spend my life without weed rather then take the chance of spending eternity without God.
I've asked the same question for years and then He the Holy Spirit said it's because of my heart and how I can relate to others on the same substance easier compared to a person approaching with a Bible. I gave up on the harsher drugs and alcohol a long time ago and this was the only thing that people would throw at me because what I share of the trinity. I believe that if you give it all your righteousness in sharing your truth through the hardships and how I'm still here standing it has to be for a purpose. If GOD were to erase everything you've believed to know. How would we know about what is evil or good? If you think it's bad then it's bad because that's what you yourself believe. God did grow it and I'm sure it's not the tree of knowledge. And if you do smoke it I'm more than positive that it's not for a malicious reason against yourself righteously. In other words I wouldn't put judgment on them over it.
If any conflict of mind dont smoke, for you dont smoke, your video is your guide
U answered your own question saying weed makes you anxious with paranoia of sinning. I decided to let go of smoking because while I was high I would be anxious, paranoid, and have negative thoughts… and anything that makes you feel that way is automatically not from the lord but the enemy! Watching this I think it’s clear that YOU want to smoke, more than you might truly want to please the lord. Really think about it! I think you know the answer to this one. If you’re still smoking a lot that is.
Im not a drinker, but I been Blazing since '01 everyday all day. Substance abuse is the issue. Affects other people differently. Some people can use weed in a non abusive way like George. Some people like myself took it in abusive way that led to me trying other substances. Weed has lead me away from church to use weed. Today im still using, but recently been in search for my Faith in Jesus. Prior to '00 I was very faithful to the lord. I miss my faith. So I believe It depends on the user. Thanks George for this conversation.
Hi! Back again…
I smoke and do my job as a mechanical engineer.
And I got to work on and be a part of the successful Sea Change - UCLA project that turns our oceans in carbon sinks thus winning the Time 2023 Invention of the Year Award.
The answers come smoothly when the conduits to God are opened.
Think of it as a closed hydraulic system.
If you push down on one side, the other side goes up.
If the physical diminishes - the spiritual increases.
I have avoided accidents on the highway by slowing down for “no reason” only to have my wife ask me “why are you slowing down” and shortly after a car darted into our lane where we would have been had I not slowed down.
That’s just one example.
Because of my stance within my organization I have had “hits” put on my life & have narrowly escaped other highway accidents that were planned.
Listen to your instincts.
Cannabis helps you to listen to your “gut” other (2) senses that we have:
(5) normal ones, our conscience and God’s direction = (7) senses.
God’s direction is often misappropriated as “ESP” … it’s not ESP.
Who is “the god of your bellies”? God or ($atan).
1. Holy smoke was supposed to be in the temple at all times.
2. “The ruler of the authority of the air” is ($atan), breathing in God’s Holy Smoke is a REPRIEVE from breathing in the “authority of the air” of this system.
3. Everything is poison in this world. Our food is poisoned.
4. The Holy Anointing oil contained Cannabis NOT sweet calamus
Thank you for the educational conversation. & thank you for defending cannabis, to a certain extent.
Protect your body by feeding your endoCANNABINOID system. Cannabis + Endocannabinoid System = whole body healing.
Pray for clarity. Jah will grant clarity to you.
Lots of rationalizing here. Most of the long term effects of having a habitual relationship with marijuana have been overwhelmingly bad in my experience. I’ve been through this multiple times in my life and I can honestly say, at least for me, it’s a clear answer, for many reasons, not good, stay away from it. Much happier overall when it’s not in my life, although in the middle of the addiction I’m not excited about quitting because it’s a rough month or two stabilizing back to normal.
Romans 14:21
[21] It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak.
You never know who's struggling with drug addiction, if what you do contributes to your brother stumbling you may wanna think about giving it up for his benifit.
If you’re drinking, smoking, or partaking in any mind altering substances you’re underestimating how crafty and subtle the devil is and how imperative it is to be vigilant and sober minded at ALL times.
It’s just like wine. It’s allowed, but in moderation. The problem isn’t using it or alcohol. The problem comes when you over due it. If you smoke every day all day, and or when you drink if you don’t know how to have a few and not get drunk.
Please pray for me. Im struggling with both weed and tobacco .. i know deep down its wrong but i cant seem to stop. I feel like its dulling my connection with him.
You said it leads you to gluttony. If it leads you to sin, stay away from it.
I love that you are truly looking into this because you want to know and that takes honestly. The reason you are feeling anxiety over it and feeling like you’re letting God down is because He is convicting you about it. That feeling is the Holy Spirit telling you it’s wrong. I’ve had so many things like that where I was like God is this wrong? And the answer is usually that if I’m asking Him I already know it is wrong.
Moderation means not overdoing things nor underdoing them. Remember you can stay happy as long as there are no corresponding pains according to Epicurus.
The wise man drinks a little to attain pleasure but not so much as he will cause himself a hangover (Pain).
Dude im dealing w this forever on and off ...GOD BLESS U GOD SAYS ITS WRONG .
About 3 minutes in & everyone was in stitches.., I thought 'everyone might have been high' at that point!?!...
I couldn't believe some of the things I was hearing, I didn't really see what Christianity had to do with what everyone was talking about, everything just seemed like it wasn't really a conversation with god involved 'until ..the guy in the teal/green shirt started to speak, so it was interesting that something eventually came..,it just didn't seem to be much more than something in a chilled conversation.
If getting drunk is a sin, smoking a joint is the same. If it's 'needed' to chill someone out & your doing things like this guy says, "I'm wired up & I don't know how to unwind"...if you're a Christian, why not just pray, why not just have faith & ask for help, rather than putting something in your body 'that you choose', rather than just showing fealty to god & have faith that he'll help you, rather than make excuses that 'what you like, what you wanna do & what you think is right', rather than what god thinks!?
The reason why I smoke weed is because of last year fr fr. I Almost lost my life ; research it brazy but Icl God doesn’t want us to have weed.affects mind thought process
God did make a covenant with Noah after the flood, and he gave him the seed bearing herbs. Noah was probably puffin' on the ark👌
Nope drugs are stupid
@@toast4975 its an herb
@@toast4975Drugs were used in pretty much every religious ceremony for the majority of time. Sobriety is a relatively modern concept used to generate money for the state through the justice and medical institutions by creating criminals and an underground, untaxed market. There are historical and political reasons for the demonization of drugs, God’s will isn’t one of them.
@@toast4975weed is not a drug but a plant made by god so keep quit
i vaped on Delta 8 and HHC. I did it for 2 years. It took me off the Gods path. It was distracting me too much. It also took me from the gym. In other words it kept me from achieving what I need to do in life and spiritually.
It's not what goes into the mouth that defiles a man but what comes out..
Much love for this. I battle the same thing everyday. I enjoy Marijuana but do i abuse of it for smoking everyday before going to bed. Only God Knows. That why only god could judge me!
So this is a discussion that I have quite frequently within myself. I deal with anxiety, depression, PTSD, suicidal thoughts, anxiety paralysis….etc etc. I take plenty of medication but somedays it just keeps the bad days from getting worse. I wasn’t an alcoholic for years until I found weed. I didn’t believe in anything either. While I’m sober I just don’t feel the presence the holy spirt. I just feel the demons that have laid wastet throughout my life. It’s not until just a touch of marijuana do I feel god. I understand the battle of a sober mind but it always just feels like hollow emptiness. Like casting my prayers into a void. It’s a complete different manifestation with just a little bit of help. Still I very interesting discussion to say the least.
I was an alcoholic for years. My bad.
We all have to deny what we want for God. We all have to sacrifice our flesh. What is it what we want most?
Don’t light it up with a butane lighter!! That’s what gets ya!
This was hilarious, super relatable, and yeah-let the Holy Spirit lead, cause He knows your weaknesses and wants to provide a way out of that.
If I have one glass of wine, I will probably have two or three. And that’s way worse for me than a fat J. I’m super duper holistic though, granola and grass fed jerky fallin out of our pockets over here😅
What helps me, is to try and put Him first before I feed myself, whether it’s media, food, drink, or chilling. That way what you do next is more moderate. Like visiting dad. Keeps you balanced.
This was such a great video!
I cd an have a drink and go months without even thinking about another drink. I’ve never used it to cope. But weed, i had realized i was addicted, and even though i was okay and my life was alright . I wasn’t being at my best, I just did enough. So i stopped, for good. Not saying others shouldn’t but I know for me it is hindering me…
Bro this is sad how far ppl are from God they love the things of the world more than Christ! Few will enter the kingdom of God this verse is more true than ever
Wow only a couple minutes in and i relate to George a ton for real
Just because something is permissible, Doesn't make it beneficial! My friend it is just this simple. If you have to go this far to find out if it is wrong or not, you already know the answer. You have already said it multiple times in this video. You feel it's wrong so there's your answer. It's not a blanket right or wrong. The question is is it wrong for you? It doesn't matter if it is for someone else, it's your personal relationship with Christ. I will end with this and I believe it will help answer your question. Regardless of the substance or any other questionable material ask yourself this question and you will always find your answers right away. " As a Christian, Does what you're doing glorify God?"
God Bless
Your conscience/spirit is telling you it’s wrong that’s why you are questioning it, it’s a conviction for you, and if you do anything that is convicting you not to do it is sin for you
Genesis 1 29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Anxiety, pray. At night, pray, spend time with God.
“Holy anointing oil, as described in the original Hebrew version of the recipe in Exodus (30:22-23), contained over six pounds of kaneh-bosem, a substance identified by respected etymologists, linguists, anthropologists, botanists and other researchers as cannabis, extracted into about six quarts of olive oil, along ... Kaneh- Bosem is Cannibis
When I was in my 30's I had a lump that came and went 2 or 3 times, this lump was in the tissue in my right chess muscle. I went to the doctor and they did a biopsy and it was a build up of t.h.c.
I grow weed and smoke weed. But it doesn’t control my life. If you find yourself smoking everyday or wanting to smoke out of desperation, you gotta check yourself. You have to find balance before you add these imbalances (drugs) to your life. Otherwise they will consume you. Even something mild like weed. Teachers. Healers. Friends. This is the role of a drug. Do not make a drug you LOVER. Do not fall in love with drugs. This is the danger, in my view
EDIT: YES!! MEDITATE EVERYONE SHOULD MEDITATE
Praise the lawddd
Just the fact that you started off by saying that your fighting this demon you already know it isn't good for you
Man I wish I had a joint right now... That being said I also wish that God could just heal my cannabinoid receptors and grant me those feelings from within so that I don't have to circumvent the law or be scared of the police :(
1 peter5:8
8 ¶ Be sober, be vigilant; becausefn your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour
I despise alcohol and pills. Aint nothing wrong with rolling one up once or twice a week and watching a movie to unwind.
I had an ungodly attachment to weed so I personally will never touch it ever again, but I do like their final conclusion which is moderation. If it takes hold of your life, it’s time to stop.
We should be christ like .....in the book it doesnt talk about god smoking weed amen ........make jesus ur everything ❤
Read scripture if you have anxiety❤
Spirts behind it. Escapism just like getting drunk. Boredom. Anxiety? Guilt? All from the enemy. I would say pray about it, the Lord will confirm. Secondly, if everyone is doing it.. does it mean we should? Im not judging, I am telling you anything that alters our cognitive coherance could open the doors to spirits… 1 Peter 8:9 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Do we want to give the enemy a foothold? I mean I used to have a few beer after I put my kids to bed years ago to drowned out all those voices because I lost everything and some of my greatest revelations came I wasn’t drunk, but I was relaxed and still enough to hear his voice. But then, as we grow in our walk with Christ and Lead, others out of captivity the only reason I drink was to escape and had a yearning desire to have somebody just listen to me and love me unconditionally. So whats the motive? If we depend on anything for comfort more than the COMFORTER. But, Thats btwn you and God. Ya know.
Great vibes, I love it. I use weed the same as I would for a glass of wine but much less. I haven’t done it in a while, but I do it sometimes here and there, very very tiny amounts before some workouts at the gym, or going for a run, or doing paperwork and making estimates, and sometimes after I hike a mountain, at the top I would meditate. In wine comparison, it would be only a few sips, but it really makes the difference for focus and it never gave me a feeling of drifting from God. I don’t need it but it is nice sometimes and I do prefer it over alcohol. I do agree with being able to control it, alcohol can bring friends and family together but it can also tear it apart.
This conversation is confusing ... Weed is a drug. If you cant sleep at night, take it to God.
Thankyou for yr honesty
Can use it in spiritual reasons as well
The way George is acting is exactly why I can’t stand potheads and people who smoke weed. Just talking about it turns him from an intelligent person who loves the Lord into a juggalo screaming about how it’s the greatest thing ever
Great topic, great show! Great questions! I have asked the same, thankyou, extremely helpful ❤
Romans 12:1- Therefore, I appeal to you by the compassions of God, brothers, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, a sacred service with your power of reason.
This verse means that in order for us to be acceptable to God, we have to take care of our bodies on a daily basis. Smoking weed or smoking anything (we are breathing in chemicals and things that harm us); this overall means that we aren’t taking care of our bodies. So we should stay away from things that harm us so we can be acceptable to God.
Matthew 15:11
not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
I am a Christian. And I smoke weed. Soooooo ❤❤❤❤
I honestly couldn't be as pleasant as I am at work if I didn't smoke throughout my shift I smoked on my work breaks to keep me calm and in a positive atmosphere mentally or else I can be a completely different person than my Stoner self/nice side
God knew in the beginning we couldn't survive on him alone that's why he looked at Adam and Eve and told him that they could eat from all the trees in the garden except for one
He said at night he wants to run and do stuff. Maybe he should workout before his curfew so he can unwind without using drugs to satiate hisself.
No, we as Christians are asked to be sober minded as Peter instructs. There’s people that born again and many of the things they drop instantly is any substance they use, so why would it be ok for others to do smoke?
1 Peter 5:8-9 ESV
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
im open to any objections trying to learn and understand
Just depends on what your perspective of sobriety is and how you view this verse
I smoke weed because it’s terrifying knowing the truth about good and evil.
For every reason you drink or smoke, God is the better solution.
I like this quote🔥🤞
Literally
If you cut your arm open, God isn’t going to heal the wound for you, he gave you a mind and hands so you can do it yourself. Just like with marijuana, whatever purpose someone would need it for, is why God put it there. The only thing God specifically mentioned was alcohol, and not to use it to drunkenness. Sober is used once in the Bible and the word sober itself refers to alcohol alone as well. When someone is in visceral pain, we give them what is essentially medicinal heroin. Everything has a purpose, and if something means nothing to you doesn’t mean it means nothing to someone else.
This is the best counter response to this question/issues I’ve ever heard.
Absolutely
The more pain I go through with a sober mind, the more I go to God for peace. It unites us.
Yes!!! This!
Ahhh...ok, ok. I'm going to really use that as my jumping off point for meditation...thx
Sober means not of alcohol; not drunk
Exactly
He is with the lowly and humble
“Be self controlled and sober-minded” Thank you God! Praise the Lord Jesus!
This mean being closed to God. Sober minded is being demonic less. Once you cut out demon in your mind in whatever you do in life you are self controlled. AMEN!!
Amen. This guy needs to read his Bible. It will clear things up for him. Your body is supposed to be a temple for God my brother.
@@justinmcnaughton3016it actually says in the Bible we can use it for medical reasons only
The Bible says Jesus drank wine and there will be wine at the marriage supper of the Lamb. Being a drunkard is something different.
Not what sober mean here
I used to smoke all day everyday, drink heavy on the weekends. I asked God one night in fervent prayer if it’s ok, welp, let’s just say that I don’t smoke weed or drink alcohol anymore, it’s been replaced with prayer and scripture study which I feel much better about. God bless yall.

I had one more “urge” to smoke weed to get high because I was battling anxiety and just boredom. I went to bed that night sober and God came to me in both my dreams. I saw a different life for myself and I saw how God could work in my life if I just did not smoke weed anymore. Ever since I had those dreams I never once desired to smoke weed anymore. God has a calling for all of us and we all have a responsibility to take care of the body (temple) God has blessed us with. You have the freedom to do what you want, but remember that everything you do alive on earth God has an account of it and he will ask you why you did the things you did. Seek Jesus Christ and believe with all your heart and he will reveal his plans for you. I’m very thankful I was able to quit smoking and get right with Jesus ✝️

@ChildofGod-qz2pj if you can’t dream, then you can’t see your destiny. The Bible talks about how GOD speaks to us in dreams and visions. If you are not receiving dreams and visions from GOD, then you are receiving them from the enemy. If your visions and dreams come from the enemy, then your true destiny has been highjacked and you will fail in all that you set your hands to.
Intention is important. Relaxation is one thing. Escapism or to heal is another issue. I used shrooms and dmt. During an Ayahuasca ceremony, Jesus showed up and told me to stop lifting the hood and poking at the spirit. He said I AM the mechanic, not you. TRUST ME 🙏🏽

@@bankhead1 being intoxicated habitually does.
@@bankhead1 you’re missing the point, being intoxicated is a sin. Doing it willfully is what has you on the road to hell. Following Jesus is part of repentance of your sins. If you need help getting free from this then plenty of Christians can help you.
The fact he started out by saying “this is a demon I’ve been trying to fight for a long time” answers your question right there.. getting high is something that feeds your fleshly desires and if you’re truly led by the Holy Spirit you wouldn’t smoke, don’t be deceived by sin.
When you feel bad about doing something It’s called conviction from the Holy Spirit
I don't like your comment 😒 but you're speaking facts. Also if someone has to ask if its a sin, it's usually a sin.
"He" is flawed and imperfect, so the fact that he calls it his demons makes it that "HIS". God gave us all the things of the earth as well as self control, wine is to purify our stomachs, people choose to take it to drunkenness, does not mean it's against God, evil, or a sin.
All natural things given by God are perfect and good, don't allow man to make evil what God has made good because of their feeling, trust in God.
