According to stories ng mga nag-succeed to stop smoking,
they really decided in their minds to stop. Siguro, hindi pa fully decided ang
mind mo, pinipilit mo lang, kaya maya-maya yung mind, mate-tempt na naman.
Makakita lang ng naninigarilyong iba o makaamoy lang ng usok, kahit usok ng
jeep, nate-tempt na namang manigarilyo. Kailangang magkaroon kayo ng full
decision. Alam nyo, mayroon ding spirit yung vices. Rebuke the spirit of that
vice in the name of the Lord para mawalan siya ng hold sa inyo and then be
prayerful and really stop. Hindi nyo kailangan ng kung anu-anong gimmick o
gadgets para tumigil mag-smoke. In your mind you can really decide.
And what can make you decide to stop smoking? First as Christian,
nakalagay sa Bible that the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. In 1
Corinthians 3:16,17. The Bible says, whoever destroys God’s temple, him also
God will destroy. And you know that smoking is destructive to the body, so that
it becomes sinful for a Christian to do anything na alam nyang masama at kaya
naman niyang iwasan.
You’ve got to decide in your mind na gusto nyo nang tigilan.
Kasi once you have decided, wala na talagang makaka-tempt dapat sa inyo. That’s
very important. I-avoid nyo rin na magkaroon kayo ng facility to smoke. Kasi
yung iba, I will not smoke pero magdadala rin ako ng dalawang sticks dahil baka
sakaling hindi ko matiis, di may dala na ako. Pag may dala kayong ganun, laging
nasa laman ng utak nyo, Nandun yun…nandun yun sa kahon nay un. Siyempre
magagalaw ninyo, makukuha nyo rin yun. Siyempre magagalaw ninyo, makukuha nyo
rin yun. Kaya mabuti pa, make no provision for evil. Huwag kayong magbaon,
huwag kayong magbigay ng “just in case”. Kasi basta may nakalagay sa inyo na
“just in case” ibig sabin, in your mind you have not totally stopped. Kung may
tatandaan lang kayong isang reason, ito na yun: it’s not good for the body
which is God’s temple. And whoever destroys God’s temple, him also God will
destroy.
