Gregor, its funny about cigarettes. In no way are they "sin" and I think we're all a little weird to consider them "sin". They are no more sin than someone crazy about sitting by a campfire and smelling the smoke all day. Not sin, just crazy, and dangerous habit.
But I was thinking about my own smoking for 15 years. Why did I smoke? The first 3 cigarettes almost killed me, filthy taste, horrible burn, but, HEY! I was a teenager and I wanted to look sexy and wave that thing around! Turn my head and exhale in an "on camera" pose....l
That's the secret. The second paragraph. The hook is it can also slowly kill you looking cool and sexy. Maybe that's why God has the Holy Spirit come against it so strongly. It is a discovery and invention the devil had his hand in for sure. Originally not even the indians smoked it. They used it strictly for medicine, and the peace pipes were all stuffed with Knickanack, or something, which was always the tree bark of a very special tree. There wasn't a single cigarette smoking indian in America from all of the ancient eye witness narratives I've read. We did that. Just an off topic.
Father God, have mercy on Tom. You turned water into wine, you kill living cancer cells and flush them from the diseased body, so we ask that you touch Tom and fully repair his body. It only takes a blink of your eye to do this Father, and we pray you have mercy.
Precious Lord Jesus, you who brought us the gift of healing through prayer, extend your healing mercy to Tom.
We thank you Father God, we thank you Precious Lord Jesus, we thank you Lord Spirit. Come Holy Spirit, come spirit of healing upon our diseased nation.
Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus. |
