"YOU CANT ELIMINATE WHAT YOU TOLERATE!"

I STRUGGLED FOR 20 YEARS, WITH WHAT I FAILED TO IDENTIFY AS AN ADDICTION TO SMOKING. I GAVE MY LIFE TO CHRIST, I WAS LIVING A DEVOUT CHRISTIAN LIFE AND CHANGING IN MANY WAYS,IN MY TALK, MY VIEW OF WOMEN, MY LOVE FOR FAMILY, I ALSO STOP DRINKING. OVER THESE STRONGHOLDS GOD GAVE ME THE VICTORY BUT, CIGARETTES HAD ME. I DIDNT UNDERSTAND WHY? ONE DAY AFTER CHOOSING TO QUIT AGAIN, I THREW AWAY MY LIGHTER, ASHE TRAYS AND SALEM LIGHTS ONLY TO GO BACK AND GET THEM OUT OF THE TRASH TO APPEAS MY CRAVING. AFTER SHARING THAT DEFEAT WITH PASTOR D. HE TOLD ME THE ONE THING THAT CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER. " YOU MUST HATE WHAT GOD HATES, YOU LOVE TO SMOKE. YOU JUST WANT TO QUIT BECAUSE YOU KNOW ITS WRONG". THATS HOW I GOT MY BREAKTHROUGH. I STARTED HATING CIGARETTES AND TODAY SEVEN YEARS LATER I HAVE NO DESIRE TO DO WHAT GOD HATES. IF YOU WANT TO STOP SLEEPING AROUND, THEN START HATING IT. IF YOU WANT TO STOP DRINKING, THEN START HATING IT. IF YOU SEE IT THE WAY GOD SEES IT, WITH PRAYER AND HIS HOLY SPIRIT LEADING YOU, THATS HOW YOU TOO CAN BE VICTORIOUS!
