My greetings to all kinfolks all over the world!
May grace and peace be given to you by God our Father, in the precious Name of Jesus Christ.
I come to share with you my part of testimony and pray it will be of some help to those who need it.
During my lifetime, I had been a heavy smoker for over thirty-five years.
On one special day, of early June 2009, I heard God calmly saying in my mind: "No quit smoking, no Holy Spirit."
He had already been working on my spirit and heart about this issue, leading me to often think about stopping and feeling real sorry for being unable to do so.
When I heard this statement, I immediately felt hurting in my heart and worry. I want to receive my part of His Holy Spirit. What it did to me brought me to let go and ask our Lord: "Let's do it now?" But then a thought came to my attention: "If I am to get sick after a while like some people I have heard of, or this woman I know, who came down with cancer after stopping, I won't quit…"
Fear and negative thinking set in as I was scared this could happen to me, since I had been smoking a lot, for such a long time. Right away I felt assurance I would be fine. So I finished smoking the few cigarettes I had left that same evening and then went to bed. The next morning, the craving for smoking had left me after so many years of slavery. This June, it will be two years ago, solely by His grace. Praise be to our Lord Jesus Christ!
