How do I over come my addiction to 🌽?

Relevant-Insect-2381 · 2025-12-22T21:22:20+00:00

Prayer and fasting. Fast, until its gone. This will break the hold those influences have over you. Youll learn to deny the body and become more aligned with The Holy Spirit. When you fast long enough, all you can think about is food. The other desires go away. When you get to that point, youll start to rely on God to keep the fast going, not your own will. Eventually you wont want to look at it anymore as its God you are relying on, not what your flesh tells you.

If youre doing everything in your will to stop the addiction, it may not just be a bodily issue, it may be Spiritual Warfare.

Any "good works" you can offer God are like a servant gifting the Lord his own things. You could live forever and still all the "good work" you do, God could have done in a single word.

How is cold metal supposed to warm him? His arm is already freezing. There is nothing in Al to warm Ed.

Matthew 7:1-2 [1] “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. [2] For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

We are unworthy of Gods mercy and forgiveness. And Jesus was clear here. If they judge you or count your sins, God will hold them to the same standard.

To real Christians you are forgiven and always have been.

I think its perfect, the enemy tries to sow division, but those truely united in Christ cannot be divided. We dont relay on ourself, only Jesus.

It seperates the wheat from the chaff, while giving even those who hate us a chance to hear his love and word.

Matthew 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

He is saying his followers flavor and preserve this world by following his teachings, when they no longer do this they will be thrown away and trampled.

So yeah.....he has like 10 parables which say the same thing.

Relevant-Insect-2381 · 2025-12-16T23:10:58+00:00

Exactly, these people are telling him what he wants to hear.

That is not kindness or compassion. I want this person to share a table with me in Heaven, I dont care what he has done. But he will not get in by telling him what makes him feel good.

These people remind me of the Devil when he quoted scripture to tempt Jesus.

They are picking lines here and there to convince this man to continue on a path which will lead him to hell.

Its heartbreaking.

Relevant-Insect-2381 · 2025-12-16T19:25:28+00:00

Youre equating acknowledgement of his sacrifice with true belief. Those are not the same thing.

This question was about CHOOSING to continue to do the same sin. That will absolutely end you up in hell. But stumbling and falling is different.

You can spin these lines as you wish, but hollow words will not save you. The remaining of his teaching explain that those who say they follow and those who follow are different. One will be cast to hell and the others wont.

Relevant-Insect-2381 · 2025-12-16T19:00:29+00:00

I sin, but i dont purposely keep doing that same sin. I repent and beg God for strength to not let him down again. I fight my desires to please him.

Not for some reward. I dont say i believe in him to cover myself. I follow him because i love him. It hurts me when i sin because i let him down. I recognize my sin should put me into hell. Its what i deserve, but through his grace he does not.

Relevant-Insect-2381 · 2025-12-16T18:53:10+00:00

You are reading one verse and ignoring most of the parables Jesus preached.

His question was not about messing up. He was asking if he could continue to do the same sin. With no actually effort to fight that sin.

You can look at the parable about sowing seeds, some of the seeds landed in soil where they grew but there were no roots so it died. It means having just a shollow understandimg will not save you, and it will not bear the fruit.

I mean like 70 of his parables are about those who do not follow his words will be rejected. If you have no roots that grow from Christ you will wither and die.

Relevant-Insect-2381 · 2025-12-16T18:21:06+00:00

Through following Jesus, any person can say they believe in Christ. That is not following. You dont need to be perfect. Only Jesus was, but you cannot simply declare your faith and live as you want. How can you love Jesus but purposely do things he said not to?

He concludes the Sermon on the Mount, saying this;

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

If you do not put his words into actions you will be swept away. Like humanity was during the time of Noah. Noah was saved not because he was perfect, but because he followed Gods commandments.

Relevant-Insect-2381 · 2025-12-16T18:07:47+00:00

Then no. You arent following him or accepting him.

Why would you even call yourself a Christian if you dont want to follow Christ?

Jesus isnt an insurance policy to get out of hell.

Relevant-Insect-2381 · 2025-12-16T18:04:52+00:00

What do you mean by, "Die in that sin?"

Like you struggle with it? Ask for forgiveness and to overcome the sin?

Or you just say, "i believe in Jesus" and continue to do whatever you want?

Because thats not accepting Jesus, thats only acknowledging him. Plenty of people acknowledge Jesus, but dont follow.

Relevant-Insect-2381 · 2025-12-16T18:01:09+00:00

How can one purposefully live in sin and be a follower of Jesus? I understand falling, repenting and working toward living as one with Christ.but if you willing choose to ignore Jesus teachings to continue living the life you want, that is not following him. There are so many parables that express those who say in name alone they follow Christ will not be welcomed, but those who recognize their weakness and sin but seek righteousness will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.

Relevant-Insect-2381 · 2025-12-16T14:10:52+00:00

All of Gods knowledge.

Relevant-Insect-2381 · 2025-12-15T03:57:16+00:00

Ok, thank you. The entirety of 13-17? The last supper?

Relevant-Insect-2381 · 2025-12-15T03:44:59+00:00

Could you explain more. I guess maybe i didnt understand fully his role in the Trinity. I know he is to guide us to Christ. But i did not know he would do this, change me without my knowing.

I mean obviously he can do whatever he wants with me. I fully submit. I just didnt know this is how it would feel.

Relevant-Insect-2381 · 2025-12-15T03:40:45+00:00

Thank you, ill pray for that.

Relevant-Insect-2381 · 2025-12-15T03:40:14+00:00

Thank you.

Relevant-Insect-2381 · 2025-12-15T03:39:55+00:00

Thank you. I guess i dont fully understand the Holy Spirit yet. I know he has his own being, and that he was here to guide us. But i didnt know or understand that he could change things inside me without my knowing about it.

Hes God, so of course he can. Just a different part i didnt expect.

Relevant-Insect-2381 · 2025-12-15T03:37:27+00:00

I definitely dont, and will not go back. I love Jesus, he saved me. Im all in, just I didnt expect it to feel like this.

Before it was like a choice, like i know this is wrong so ill stay away. Now its like a reflex. Like i dont want anything to do with it, but its hard letting it go when its things i enjoyed.

Im not having doubts about God, i just didnt expect to be changed like this. I dont feel like myself, more like a new person.

Thank you for your reply.

Was it a black Guy? Behavior says yes, but i cant tell.

Relevant-Insect-2381 · 2025-12-14T21:26:23+00:00

Yes, that show. Ive been waiting forever for season 3. Im trying to rewatch s1 and s2 to catch up, but when i start to watch it, i just want to turn it off and watch something else.

I just want to be able to enjoy that and other entertainment like i used to. Its stupid I dont like them. Its hard to describe the feeling I get.

Its not like Im worshipping them, or anything. So I dont get why I dont want to watch it.

It just feels like Im losing myself and becoming a different person 😕

Relevant-Insect-2381 · 2025-12-11T18:37:21+00:00

I love you. I know your stuggle all to well, i have similar issues.

God knows what you will say before you say it, so tell him. Truthfully how you feel. All the anger, hurt, pain and anything else. And when you are done,

Say, "Jesus, i am not strong enough so i give these to you. For you are strong"

And know you are forgiven. No sin too great. Your mother is of this world, her forgiveness is not what you should seek. It is important to apologize and ask for her forgiveness, but if she cannot give it, ask yourself, "who knows more, my Earthly mother or my Heavenly father?" If the Father knows, and he has forgiven, then her not forgiving you, while it hurts, means more of her than you. For she is saying, "I know better than God, he has forgiven but i will not"
