I thank you for this message. However I know this applies to all of us as Christians, however its almost like I have come to a point in my personal walk that I feel for me this is a way to hide under grace now I know that we never arrive. I just get so frustrated with myself, because God has blessed me in sooo many ways and giftings and I still struggle with smoking. I try so hard I pray,fast and pick it back up. Now I know there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus! I just struggle because I hear God in my spirit correcting me and I do it, now I am quenching the spirit. I also know that God is waiting to take me to a new level in ministry once I conquer this. I have heard him speak this to me several times. Now my relationship is hindered and a bit foggy. I need to overcome this and I need him in this. I just read Hosea again and I remember where he has brought me from and I want to return and not just lightly or half way because it is so much bigger than me. My life needs to be his because he wants to use it for more than my own desires and affections, but as his vessel. I do not want to be in the way or have to answer one day on the fact that I was to busy feeding my own flesh than to care about some poor lost person that needed him just as much if not more than when he found me. Who am I? I believe and know that his blood was not spilt in vein but when does it become a flat out slap in the face to the same Heavenly Father that endured all that on calvary. I am so sorry Lord. If repentance means toturn away from than I am stuck in the repen.. part of the word.

Sincerly,
Justine

Repentive
