the opposite of what you say and seems to think is true. dont take it hard brother, thats normal.
im posting it here where it belongs. im testifying about how i came to belief and im caring about my brother and sisters who are stuck in this ****.
also, i happen to have Gods Word backing it up:
Quote:
Jesus said: “My people, the best way to have people come to believe in Me, is to have someone give a personal testimony on how and why that person came to believe in Me. You all have free will and I will not violate what you choose to do for your life. If you truly desire to come to heaven with Me, you need to ask Me to forgive your sins, and let Me be the Master of your life. Giving your will over to Me takes great faith, but you will have your eternal reward with Me in heaven. Your people prefer to hear a personal testimony because you all are familiar with your human condition. This is another reason why I became a God-man so you would know that I went through all of what you have experienced. I gave you testimony that I was God by My miracles, and I showed you My love relationship by dying for all of you on My cross. I want all of you to seek a love relationship with Me, because I am all loving with everyone. Whenever you pray to Me, you are showing Me your love and thanks for all that I do for you every day.”

and about my obsession, yes i have not played poker more than a handfull of times in like five years and i can only thank Jesus for this.
but i cant say that im without fault, because i think it were like two years after He created me new heart that i tried poker again, and i actually played like i did before - until i was broke on my avalaible bank accounts which meant i had not food for money. not that i cared so much about the money anylonger but it was more like a broken trust in The Lord.
remember this proverb from the bible: "
The lot is cast into the lap, But its every decision is from the LORD."
also, i had several others addictions that He has helped me with.
just to make it short i can give you the list from my memory right now:
tobacco - i used "snus" and smoked since i was a teenager , and same with coffee, and porn (highly addicted on the lesbian moviez), cannabis, alcohol - both beer and strong drinks, and i have "tried" many drugs in my earlier years - mostly psycho things and uppers - and its only Jesus who i can thank for not being stuck again.
then there is also a huge misuse of love and friends in my life thats an ongoing project together with the project to bless my enemies - thats really something to think on.
