I gave up smoking weed last year in November. God literally sat me down, isolated me, put me into poverty just to stop. Couldn't afford it at all, had trouble getting it. The first 3 days were the hardest. Relapsed once, and the whole time while I was high I felt SO drained, negative, anxiety took over and I slept it off. I eventually realized that God wanted me to quit for a better life. When I smoked weed for the last time I was thinking to myself "how the heck did I do this every single day?" Quitting weed saved me SO much energy, time, and money. My blessings started to come in quick. My faith got stronger, I feel way more energized, skin is glowing, the sparkle in my eyes started to come back, relationship started getting better and family life. Recently the devil tried bringing someone from my past to tempt me to get back into the low vibrational lifestyle, I refused. Giving up weed is one of the best decisions I've ever made. Reflecting back on it, I smoked because I wanted to escape my problems instead of facing them. I had to smoke everyday, all day and if I didn't I would become moody/irritable. I can't surround myself with people who HAVE to smoke just for their happiness and because it "feels good" a relationship with God is the BEST feeling! My intuition is becoming stronger. I no longer feel so negative. You should do a video on pornography brother, that itself is a cancer.
Ever since I stopped smoking weed I feel present, aware, and in tune with the Holy Spirit at all times. When I smoked blunts everyday it was like walking through a dream where nothing mattered and I had no desire to engage with the people around me. I feel like a new person and I just want to make up for all the time I lost! Praise to Almighty God who makes all things new! 🙌 🙏 💯
Amen brother. I’ve been smoking since a young age and have finally had the urge to stop just 2 months ago. As a result my mind has been cleaner my lungs have felt better and I now desire to come closer to God because we are not in this alone! We must have faith to keep going and stay sober so that we may become Holy and righteous to remain temples of God and vessels of the Holy Spirit
@@AAdren Truly you are in the Holy Spirit my brother! The former things have fallen away and we have chosen to open the door to our loving and patient Lord Jesus Christ who died on the cross so that we may live! We have picked up our crosses to follow in His footsteps! Our temple is reconsecrated and resanctified and the Holy Spirit has made His dwelling there! As the forces of evil move in haste to make us all slaves of sin, I see also the Spirit of God hovering over us, calling to us, beckoning to us! He has called forth a Revival of such great magnitude no man has seen its like or will ever again! He is risen! And so are we! Maranatha!
I quit on 12/27/21, I am on Day 173 of being marijuana free and have no urge to even smoke. All praises to The Most High 🙏🏽🙌🏽 I just went cold turkey and from what I recall, I didn’t even struggle. Had already been praying and also claiming that I was going to quit months before I actually did and I guess God just granted me the strength and it just happened.
Same her sis on day 7 of quitting and i wamted to quit in october n didnt but just last week i quit cold turkey again,i dd back couple ywars ago for 3 years n relapse and this time around i wanna quit for the rest of my life. And see how bad it is on a spiritual level i pray n hope this time its for good as well.. lost my brother 2 yests ago so i used it alot during my time of grief sigh but thankfully God disnt gave up on my ,all glory to God 🙏🏾
Before I quit smoking I would get high and watch bible videos, and then id end up feeling super convicted. Just had to listen to the holy spirit and put it down. You nailed it on all parts here bro!
I smoke weed heavily for a good 2 years. And then a third year of heavy use but tapering down. And same thing as the man in the video selling it and getting very involved in it. And I just want to say that life is better and more fulfilling without it. And this might sound dumb, but when you smoke long enough and then stop. Being sober becomes a better drug.
I agree, River. When you smoke for so long, and then stop, go back to it the entire time you're craving for it to wear off and be sober again. I understand that completely. Still clean from it since last November (2021) and I love the feeling of cutting it off. It's so freeing.
Nothing but truth. I used weed to quit cigarettes and alcohol. Now I see all the negative affects of weed. Your videos definitely opened my eyes and it's time to take my leap of faith. Please pray for me. I have to get this right
All facts bro, im about to be 29 too and I had been smoking since I was 15. It's been a stronghold on my life for a long time, felt like I couldn't do anything without it. But now I'm seeing the benefits of everything you pointed out since I've stopped. I thank God he's given me this clarity fr!
I just turned 29 this year and had been smoking since i was 15 too. It's definitely time bro and the chosen are all being put through this at the same time. Don't go back and miss your crown king.
I dont usually leave comments, but you brother, described my life piece by piece. Same age, we started the same. Personally I used to smoke 3-5 g's a day, literally non fuc*ing stop, and it is not cheap when buying it , we all know that. It basically dominated me as Khabib did with all his opponents. Hope I'll not wrestle anyone on the streets the coming days 😅 3 days in and I feel no less than a spartan, of course with a little bit of trouble sleeping and general anxiety, but still a fighter. God is great guys, search for Him and He'll answer. Much love and God bless you all 🙏
Just sent this video to my son. Today is his bday he’s 28. He defends weed so much. Praying he watches. You’re so right about all this. Praise Jesus Christ!
Never stop believing God will answer your prayers for your son . I was that son lost in addictions for 25 years but 3 years ago my mother's prayers got answered 17 years after She died of cancer . I rejoice in thanksgiving that soon I'll see my mother in Heaven rejoicing God saved her son.
Yeah I'm ashamed to say I've spent alot of money on weed over the last 10 years I recently started spending only 40 a week but that does add up I want to quit but I get irritated but this video is a sign to stop
This just popped up my recommended, I needed this I’m turning 23 in a few weeks and I’ve been smoking weed since 10. This is my sign to let go. Thank you Marc God bless you brother!
It’s crazy how when I’m going through something strong in life God sends me these types of videos glad I found you man. Going through this journey right now
I saved this to my favorites so that way every time I crave and my addiction mindset talks I go back to this video and remind myself all the benefits that will come to when I quit weed. I have been on and off for the past 3 years and still struggling to quit cold turkey.
I have 6 months that I quit smoking . I just went cold turkey on it . I don't miss it at all . It was easy for me I just got tired of spending my money on it . I spend my money on better things that I need 😊💛🙏
Day 1 and coming off a 24 hour fast just water no shakes,no jitters praise God.Being the devil been at me all morning but God Thy Father has given me victory Brother King.Staying prayed up and paying attention 👌
I am carrying a damaged vessel under the veil of smoke. My soul/spirit was bound to the spirit world as a child....you are right in what you reveal. So much weakness is manifested for the majority for some it's an enhancement. God willing I won't have to smoke till the end. I am still healing. Pray for me please 🙏
Same struggling with Marijuana dependence even the idea of stopping feels hard at times farless for actually making a step but I know Jesus will deliver me in due time.
Wow this is Gods timing! 🙌🏻 I’m 5 days into stopping weed again, I stopped for a year and a half and then took a massive step backwards toward the end of last year. The hardest thing about stopping is going through the weeks of demonic nightmares, but by Gods grace he will pull me through this for good this time. 🙏🏻 God bless you brother!
Wassup Marc I’m actually quitting weed rn I went about a week in a half without it and I felt great the most high blessed me with peace at mind.. I relapsed with one blunt and then I felt horrible the weed is spiritual warfare. I will never smoke again Apttmhy for giving me the eyes and ears to hear. Sober mind is the best mind 💯
day 2 of no smoking...a little rough but honestly i am starting to feel a little more "free". idk how to explain it. weed makes me feel like a lazy zombie and prevented me from getting a great part time job (cus of drug testing)- i feel so guilty cus of that. i wish i could go back in time and stop smoking earlier. i would literally have thousands more in my bank and i would have had that job. but lesson learned and im taking it one day at a time
I think smoking weed is fine but just do it on special occasions to celebrate. Weed has been good to me in life i have learned many lessons through the herb.
Remember watching this around May-June 2022.. almost 1 year later and I’m sober since then! Thanks Marc Glory to Jesus Christ for leading me to your channel
@@SauciestPrince6 1 Peter 5:8 King James Version 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
You got this!! And even if you quit and relapse, it’s ok just keep pushing at it and eventually you won’t have the desire or habit. Everything is repetition good or bad.. your only goal is don’t give up and convince yourself it’s ok.. the enemy is willing to wait however long for you to go bak, it only takes once to slip and his then got a that strong hold again. One day at a time.. literally.. stay productive other wise you will have idol time on your hands, and want to smoke.
I’m fighting this fight myself I’m in Northern California and I smoke close to 25 backwoods a day it’s rough being surrounded by so much good tree but GOD has put it on my heart to stop so that’s what I’m going to do I’m going to stop it’s time to be great again thanks for this video I can’t deny the signs anymore.
U got this!!!!! Start working out drinking more water and draw more close to God. If u have a gym in your area find out if they have a sauna so u can sweat out all the toxins in your body. Sober gang gang gang ‼️‼️smoking lame God delivered me from coke, weed, newports, and alcohol. Yea I know… I told God I will never be ashamed of my past. I shouldn’t even be alive! But I’m here!! I’m fighting and praying with u King! 💫
I just signed up to be one of the lords soldiers in your community, I wrote this before but your messages help me to stop smoking, I've been addicted for over 25 years But no more, praise YAH ,I thank God for you and your courage my brother God-bless you and your family always and forever Jesus name Amen from long island New York
I wasn’t a weed enthusiast but whenever smoked, I was always paranoid to the point that I isolated myself. This made me realize that weed is definitely for me. I stopped smoking it and followed nofap. Life changing experience 💪🏾💪🏾
I stop smoking weed from last year in October and Im do proud of myself. It was a waste of my money, time and appetite to learn about the word. I lost a lot of friends from it.
I smoked daily for 5 years. Don't know quantities, but I burnt to it, couldn't leave it on tomorrow lol. I quit for around 1 year completely while I was in a relationship with a girl, while all the things that I've been putting under the rug started to came out and I realised that even though it helped me for a while to be able to cope with life, it also exacerbated my traumas. so i started therapy and after I started therapy, God, while pulling things out of the carpet I simply couldn't cope without smoking, the pain was unbearable. But this time it was different, I wasn't lying to myself anymore about "I am doing it cause I like it and bla bla", I was in so much pain and after discussing with my therapist about it, I realised that what I am experiencing is normal because I am digging into things that I used to cover weed with so of course my body is craving it. so I allowed it while trying to continue to love myself and knowing that I am only doing it to soothe a pain that I simply didn't know how to soothe otherwise. Instead of smoking daily like before, I started noticing my true real needs, the need to be sober came alive, I was smoking for let's say a week continuously, but after that, one month I just could live without it, not only live but also prosper. Then after that month, if something too intense happened I smoked again, but what I discovered is the fact that I can stop and that I am stronger than the convictions that I formed that I am its slave, when I tried to stop initially (after the initial 5 years). slowly but surely my cravings started to be different, I was more in control of them and I even could stay with people that smoked and I was ok to not smoke. And not even like struggling, I just felt comfortable and didn't need it. I am still within this loop kind of some periods like 1-2 weeks (I have noticed that given the fact that I smoked a lot for much time, my body somehow needs some time in that "area" in order to reach that feeling of satiation that people that didn't smoke much feel maybe after 1 joint. but now I get this feeling of satiation and I am over it that I never did before) I smoke when something crushes me and I simply cannot cope otherwise, but I simply know I am on the right path because everytime I come back from these short "vacations" lol, I enjoy life sober more. In the past I had a definite conviction that life is so much better when you are high. Now I do not feel that is the case. Life is so beautiful while being natural. people don't forget that addiction is not about the object, you can be addicted to everything that sooths some major pains that you haven't learned yet to cope. Don't beat yourself up, what my therapist told me is what flipped hating weed for me, " be thankful you didn't end up killing yourself by the amount of pain you felt. at that point in time you found a way to continue living" and yes, I agree. That's what everybody that is doing drugs is doing. they are doing their best to cover amounts of pain that are umbearable to them and for which they literally have no solution at solving in the moment.
@@paulcesargonzalez3331 I think it depends on how it is done. I guess some people that smoke super rarely and only on ocassions and are not addicted to it exist. For example I ocasionally drank beer during my life at parties and "special moments" and beer never leetched itself to me. God bless you Paul!
The first week is the toughest, but trust me after the first week you will start getting so used to being without it, like you was before you started smoking it. We were never born without the substance and we live well so think about that you’ve been living and doing well even before smoking so believe you can do it yet you can stop and get a healthier proper habit.
I need prayers. Smh I didn’t start smoking weed until age 30 right before the pandemic started. I was in a horrible spot because of several past heartbreaks and failed personal goals. I almost lost my faith but thanks be to Yeshua I was rescued. The Lord has blessed me with a new career in the engineering world and still have my health so things are looking good. But I still vape THC and it does have it’s spirits. I know God wants me to follow him. And that includes letting him mend all the broken parts of my soul. But I’m afraid to trust him with it and I’m using weed to cope. Satan is still trying to destroy me…especially as I start this new chapter of my life. I don’t want to blow the gift God has given me.
The main fact is that i am sleeping much much better now when i am not smoking , i am more relaxed and not worried , more energetic and confident . In the general in much much better mood , my tolerance toward all kinds of nonsense is way bigger and so on . The list is huge i guess.
God helped me to quit weed. It was tough but the Lord walked with me through the fire. I don’t have any inclination to do it anymore and I can only thank god for it because I could not do it alone. I still have a cigarette here and there but I have faith god will see me through that habit too. Been watching all of your videos and they give me a lot of strength, you are really doing us a service Marc.
Marc, the fact that you can be so illiterate at times makes my life, man. I mean that so sincerely, as the innocence, attention, and genuine aura is just awesome. Nothing but love man, thanks for doing what you do
Thx fam , I’m fighting this and the semen retention daily . Ladies ( agents won’t leave me alone ) u are soo encouraging- please don’t stop , and keep sharing Yahs word . ✊🏾
Just recently stopped smoking fur good. I was using it as a crutch to cope with pain in my life. Since giving my life to The Most High, I've been gaining so much perspective. Thank you brother for these videos. I'm steady getting stronger in Christ with the knowledge you drop and reading the Bible.
THANK YOU for sharing this brother! I truly appreciate the fact that so many black men who come from similar struggles are sharing their experience and knowledge.
You’re helping me build my relationship with God. You explain his word in a way I understand. It’s hard for me to accept but I feel my relationship with my sons father coming to a dead end. I’m starting to see that he’s “a friend of the world”. I pray this changes for our sons sake.
Pray for God to enter your sons father's heart ❤️. When I found God my husband was the last person I would picture praying but I prayed for him and now my husband prays every day, God is so good 🙏
bro what you said about the penial gland closing is SO TRUE when I was doing weed daily I could never remember my dreams but when I stopped for like a week I finally was able to remember my dreams
This is the last thing I am struggling to get rid of. I am barely smoking at this point but I see myself going back some still. I will keep praying and staying in the word as much as I can to help fight it
BRo you goin all the way in. in this video. Through a dream God showed me two demons that was plagueing my body. Both were strongholds and those habits were limiting me and worked in tandem together(draining me of my energy). One was the watching of the websites and the other was smoking weed. Also he gave me two things to replace them with. . Keep on speaking the truth. To God be the glory!
I'm fighting a daily battle with weed and prescription meds,I got diagnosed with PTSD as I served the British army for the best part of 10 years,that's no excuse for my weakness but it does help me sleep at night,I got baptised 1month ago and I've been going to church for 4 months,I get on my knee's and pour out to our Lord to be released from my addiction,I'm blocking his blessings I fear,I play the guitar and have given up on secular music,I'm now learning gospel music,amazing grace is my first song,I learned to play it yesterday,I'm focusing on my bible and music instead of weed,I can hardly remember my dreams,I use to get vision's in my dreams,I hope they come back,occupy your mind,I have cut down a lot over the past 3 months,1 day at a time,please pray for me to stop smoking,thank you and God bless.
I smoked chronically for ten years straight. I hurt my back very badly again at the beginning of 2022 and I had to take opiates for 5 months while waiting for my surgery. In that time I had the opportunity to quit smoking weed. I got off all prescribed medication within 17 days of my spinal surgery. I am so strong and very happy to be sober from it all! I will never smoke again because I have had far more than enough hoots in my lifetime. I can just think of the shitty feeling instead of acting out of habit.
Amen 🙏🏻 God Bless You Bro. Your content is real. Enoch Chapter 8 how women were taught to put make up on. I wish so many Christians would understand that. May Christ Continue to Bless Your family
This video, even though I’m seeing it a year late, is confirmation for me to stop. I started smoking at age 16, stopped at 23 when I had my daughter, and didn’t smoke for many years. I got married, my husband turned out to be a covert narcissist and the emotional abuse was soul crushing. I started smoking again to deal with my depression and anxiety, and it seemed to help. But I know its bondage, so I am on my quitting journey. I rationalized with myself for years that because I “feel” better when I smoke, it couldn’t be that bad. I used to have suicidal ideations before I started smoking, so I am a little scared to go cold turkey. Y’all pray for me.
Day 4 I feel good. Finally got back to being social. I was smoking for social anxiety, only for it to make me more socially anxious. Feels good to me sober 🙏🏿
THANKY FRIEND!! Everything you said are all the reason I know better, it’s out of habit and A time waster. I literally been fighting the flesh, I’ve stopped 5/6 month’s then get around ppl and slowly start again.. just confirmation from the LORD! 🙌🏾👏🏾
The high switched up sooo much when God wanted me to stop. It literally became something very dark spiritually, after all it is somewhat of a spiritual drug but TMH showed me i was just opening doors it was super bad. He also showed me that it makes me effeminate and there is no way i could lead a women while getting high.
My older brother started me off on it when I was about 4th grade , and this was in 86. I've smoked everyday since then. My wife thinks I need it I don't. It's legal in my state and on almost every corner. But I want nothing to do with it and I'm trying to quit and it's the hardest thing I've ever done and all my life. I haven't watched this video yet but I was just responding that you even did one like this period thank you and God-bless you.
Thank you, I happened to come across your channel & really needed to hear this message today. Warm regards and blessings from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 God is Great! 🙏💞💪
One important benefit is: you earn your memory back also!!! I felt like my ability to recall information was 10x better because when I was high all the time it felt like my mind was always buffering to remember the simplest details and that also affects your speech because you be sounding dumb tryna remember regular vocabulary words to have normal conversations.
My worst experience ever smoking weed was when I greened out from smoking a tall bong with my group of friends and at the time I was still new to smoking, I was only 17. It was the worst agony I’ve ever experienced. I lost all control of my mind and body and it felt like demons were literally taking over, I had no control of myself anymore and I thought I was actually gonna die that day from the trauma and pain. I also remember that was the first encounter I kinda had with God, I remember just screaming out his name and in an instant the pain and agony just disappeared, but then I had to experience that same day for another hour it was weird, but since then it made me realize how real God and Satan is. I was really having a spiritual warfare in my mind, it was crazy.
When u quite it definitely makes u more confident because in my high state there would be alot of voices in my head. When u cut those voices off you can confidently here yours and do the right things

facts bro, weed is def a strong hold on the spirit

Struggling with this as we speak
I smoke weed heavily for a good 2 years. And then a third year of heavy use but tapering down. And same thing as the man in the video selling it and getting very involved in it. And I just want to say that life is better and more fulfilling without it. And this might sound dumb, but when you smoke long enough and then stop. Being sober becomes a better drug.
💯
There is nothing better then being sober! Keep up the good work!
I agree, River. When you smoke for so long, and then stop, go back to it the entire time you're craving for it to wear off and be sober again. I understand that completely. Still clean from it since last November (2021) and I love the feeling of cutting it off. It's so freeing.
Facts, I’m in love with being sober now
Nothing but truth. I used weed to quit cigarettes and alcohol. Now I see all the negative affects of weed. Your videos definitely opened my eyes and it's time to take my leap of faith. Please pray for me. I have to get this right
All facts bro, im about to be 29 too and I had been smoking since I was 15. It's been a stronghold on my life for a long time, felt like I couldn't do anything without it. But now I'm seeing the benefits of everything you pointed out since I've stopped. I thank God he's given me this clarity fr!
I just turned 29 this year and had been smoking since i was 15 too. It's definitely time bro and the chosen are all being put through this at the same time. Don't go back and miss your crown king.
Absolutely same. I think I started a little earlier. Stay strong my brother. Thropugh God anything is possible.
@@kadeemanderson2606 I appreciate that fam, you as well my brother!
I dont usually leave comments, but you brother, described my life piece by piece. Same age, we started the same.
Personally I used to smoke 3-5 g's a day, literally non fuc*ing stop, and it is not cheap when buying it , we all know that. It basically dominated me as Khabib did with all his opponents.
Hope I'll not wrestle anyone on the streets the coming days 😅
3 days in and I feel no less than a spartan, of course with a little bit of trouble sleeping and general anxiety, but still a fighter. God is great guys, search for Him and He'll answer.
Much love and God bless you all 🙏
Does this video apply to injecting heroin as well?
Just sent this video to my son. Today is his bday he’s 28. He defends weed so much. Praying he watches. You’re so right about all this. Praise Jesus Christ!
Did he watch a stop?
Lord please as I'm getting convicted, convict your son as well tonight, NOW by the power of the Holy Ghost, in Jesus Christ's name. Amen
@@upgradedbygod1225 Amen by Jesus mercy and grace my son has been delivered. It’s been about a month. Praise Him.
@@nachis3 Glory to God💚
Never stop believing God will answer your prayers for your son . I was that son lost in addictions for 25 years but 3 years ago my mother's prayers got answered 17 years after She died of cancer . I rejoice in thanksgiving that soon I'll see my mother in Heaven rejoicing God saved her son.

I saved this to my favorites so that way every time I crave and my addiction mindset talks I go back to this video and remind myself all the benefits that will come to when I quit weed. I have been on and off for the past 3 years and still struggling to quit cold turkey.
Pray to the Most High🙌

LIFE CHANGING ADVICE 💎
My main issue, even if I’ve limited buying,still a lot when it’s about 100$ a week
🙏🏾

@4poundkeepingitreal891 same 34 need to start keeping my cash
Thanks mark 😊 I just quit smoking last week, through strength in Jesus. Your videos have helped me a lot!
Day 1 and coming off a 24 hour fast just water no shakes,no jitters praise God.Being the devil been at me all morning but God Thy Father has given me victory Brother King.Staying prayed up and paying attention 👌
I am carrying a damaged vessel under the veil of smoke. My soul/spirit was bound to the spirit world as a child....you are right in what you reveal. So much weakness is manifested for the majority for some it's an enhancement. God willing I won't have to smoke till the end. I am still healing. Pray for me please 🙏
Same struggling with Marijuana dependence even the idea of stopping feels hard at times farless for actually making a step but I know Jesus will deliver me in due time.
How are you now 2yrs later?
Wow this is Gods timing! 🙌🏻 I’m 5 days into stopping weed again, I stopped for a year and a half and then took a massive step backwards toward the end of last year. The hardest thing about stopping is going through the weeks of demonic nightmares, but by Gods grace he will pull me through this for good this time. 🙏🏻
God bless you brother!
Why did you go back brother? Stay strong! Let the Word of God and Prayer overcome any temptation in your way.
How are you doing?
You are not lieingvanout the demonic dreams when u stop using that's all true.
Wassup Marc I’m actually quitting weed rn I went about a week in a half without it and I felt great the most high blessed me with peace at mind.. I relapsed with one blunt and then I felt horrible the weed is spiritual warfare. I will never smoke again Apttmhy for giving me the eyes and ears to hear. Sober mind is the best mind 💯
💯🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
This is definitely a time for MEN to come together and pick each other up and get us to reach a higher power and evolve as one
day 2 of no smoking...a little rough but honestly i am starting to feel a little more "free". idk how to explain it. weed makes me feel like a lazy zombie and prevented me from getting a great part time job (cus of drug testing)- i feel so guilty cus of that. i wish i could go back in time and stop smoking earlier. i would literally have thousands more in my bank and i would have had that job. but lesson learned and im taking it one day at a time
2 months free from the spirit of pharmakia, y’all keep going !
I think smoking weed is fine but just do it on special occasions to celebrate. Weed has been good to me in life i have learned many lessons through the herb.
Remember watching this around May-June 2022.. almost 1 year later and I’m sober since then! Thanks Marc
Glory to Jesus Christ for leading me to your channel

I needed to hear this today. I've been struggling
to quit :(
🙏🏿
You got this!! And even if you quit and relapse, it’s ok just keep pushing at it and eventually you won’t have the desire or habit. Everything is repetition good or bad.. your only goal is don’t give up and convince yourself it’s ok.. the enemy is willing to wait however long for you to go bak, it only takes once to slip and his then got a that strong hold again. One day at a time.. literally.. stay productive other wise you will have idol time on your hands, and want to smoke.
@@swagga2321 thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. 3 weeks tomorrow weed free :)
@@nicoleanagnostou7719 HECK YEAH! lol

Facts!..I stopped smoking weed two days ago and I'm already having vivid dreams.. Amazing 🙏✨
That's definitely a huge deal, i use to smoke just so I wouldn't dream!
I’m fighting this fight myself I’m in Northern California and I smoke close to 25 backwoods a day it’s rough being surrounded by so much good tree but GOD has put it on my heart to stop so that’s what I’m going to do I’m going to stop it’s time to be great again thanks for this video I can’t deny the signs anymore.
U got this!!!!! Start working out drinking more water and draw more close to God. If u have a gym in your area find out if they have a sauna so u can sweat out all the toxins in your body. Sober gang gang gang ‼️‼️smoking lame God delivered me from coke, weed, newports, and alcohol. Yea I know… I told God I will never be ashamed of my past. I shouldn’t even be alive! But I’m here!! I’m fighting and praying with u King! 💫
25 is way too much brother.
Please #1 your health. Your family needs you! We need the Word of God and Prayer!
Once You Gain That Momentum With No Weed Your Life Becomes So Much Better !

Right on time man I’ve been battling this forever!
Same here brother, praying for you! 🙏🏻
"I'm soo free, I got NO chains on me!"
I just signed up to be one of the lords soldiers in your community, I wrote this before but your messages help me to stop smoking, I've been addicted for over 25 years But no more, praise YAH ,I thank God for you and your courage my brother God-bless you and your family always and forever Jesus name Amen from long island New York
I wasn’t a weed enthusiast but whenever smoked, I was always paranoid to the point that I isolated myself. This made me realize that weed is definitely for me. I stopped smoking it and followed nofap. Life changing experience 💪🏾💪🏾
Words are so pure bruh. It’s a battle we will overcome with the power of Christ on our side.
I stop smoking weed from last year in October and Im do proud of myself. It was a waste of my money, time and appetite to learn about the word. I lost a lot of friends from it.
ALL PRAISES TO THE MOST HIGH ! I’m tired . I’m ready to be free of weed . I just want to live .
💯🙌🏿
🦁❤️🔥blessings may Yahs angels guard you in your ways
I smoked daily for 5 years. Don't know quantities, but I burnt to it, couldn't leave it on tomorrow lol. I quit for around 1 year completely while I was in a relationship with a girl, while all the things that I've been putting under the rug started to came out and I realised that even though it helped me for a while to be able to cope with life, it also exacerbated my traumas. so i started therapy and after I started therapy, God, while pulling things out of the carpet I simply couldn't cope without smoking, the pain was unbearable. But this time it was different, I wasn't lying to myself anymore about "I am doing it cause I like it and bla bla", I was in so much pain and after discussing with my therapist about it, I realised that what I am experiencing is normal because I am digging into things that I used to cover weed with so of course my body is craving it. so I allowed it while trying to continue to love myself and knowing that I am only doing it to soothe a pain that I simply didn't know how to soothe otherwise. Instead of smoking daily like before, I started noticing my true real needs, the need to be sober came alive, I was smoking for let's say a week continuously, but after that, one month I just could live without it, not only live but also prosper. Then after that month, if something too intense happened I smoked again, but what I discovered is the fact that I can stop and that I am stronger than the convictions that I formed that I am its slave, when I tried to stop initially (after the initial 5 years). slowly but surely my cravings started to be different, I was more in control of them and I even could stay with people that smoked and I was ok to not smoke. And not even like struggling, I just felt comfortable and didn't need it. I am still within this loop kind of some periods like 1-2 weeks (I have noticed that given the fact that I smoked a lot for much time, my body somehow needs some time in that "area" in order to reach that feeling of satiation that people that didn't smoke much feel maybe after 1 joint. but now I get this feeling of satiation and I am over it that I never did before) I smoke when something crushes me and I simply cannot cope otherwise, but I simply know I am on the right path because everytime I come back from these short "vacations" lol, I enjoy life sober more. In the past I had a definite conviction that life is so much better when you are high. Now I do not feel that is the case. Life is so beautiful while being natural.
people don't forget that addiction is not about the object, you can be addicted to everything that sooths some major pains that you haven't learned yet to cope. Don't beat yourself up, what my therapist told me is what flipped hating weed for me, " be thankful you didn't end up killing yourself by the amount of pain you felt. at that point in time you found a way to continue living" and yes, I agree. That's what everybody that is doing drugs is doing. they are doing their best to cover amounts of pain that are umbearable to them and for which they literally have no solution at solving in the moment.
And here i thought I was just smoking to enjoy life. How we deceive ourselves.
@@paulcesargonzalez3331 I think it depends on how it is done. I guess some people that smoke super rarely and only on ocassions and are not addicted to it exist. For example I ocasionally drank beer during my life at parties and "special moments" and beer never leetched itself to me. God bless you Paul!
The first week is the toughest, but trust me after the first week you will start getting so used to being without it, like you was before you started smoking it. We were never born without the substance and we live well so think about that you’ve been living and doing well even before smoking so believe you can do it yet you can stop and get a healthier proper habit.

I need prayers. Smh I didn’t start smoking weed until age 30 right before the pandemic started. I was in a horrible spot because of several past heartbreaks and failed personal goals. I almost lost my faith but thanks be to Yeshua I was rescued. The Lord has blessed me with a new career in the engineering world and still have my health so things are looking good. But I still vape THC and it does have it’s spirits. I know God wants me to follow him. And that includes letting him mend all the broken parts of my soul. But I’m afraid to trust him with it and I’m using weed to cope. Satan is still trying to destroy me…especially as I start this new chapter of my life. I don’t want to blow the gift God has given me.
The main fact is that i am sleeping much much better now when i am not smoking , i am more relaxed and not worried , more energetic and confident . In the general in much much better mood , my tolerance toward all kinds of nonsense is way bigger and so on . The list is huge i guess.
I'm soo happy to be sober! Thanks for another positive message brother! 🙏
I never had this addiction but know plenty of people who I will share this with and I liked the video.
this motivates me to stop smoke once again Keep me in your prayers
God helped me to quit weed. It was tough but the Lord walked with me through the fire. I don’t have any inclination to do it anymore and I can only thank god for it because I could not do it alone. I still have a cigarette here and there but I have faith god will see me through that habit too. Been watching all of your videos and they give me a lot of strength, you are really doing us a service Marc.
Marc, the fact that you can be so illiterate at times makes my life, man. I mean that so sincerely, as the innocence, attention, and genuine aura is just awesome. Nothing but love man, thanks for doing what you do
This is real. So true. Awesome bro. I know these things and still smoked 30 yrs. Just ignoring ALL signs. May you be blessed.💯fold
Thx fam , I’m fighting this and the semen retention daily . Ladies ( agents won’t leave me alone ) u are soo encouraging- please don’t stop , and keep sharing Yahs word . ✊🏾
Quitting weed helped my semen retention journey. Great content, bro!
Educational and good advice
Man, I love your message and your passion for God. It helps all of the struggling.
Just recently stopped smoking fur good. I was using it as a crutch to cope with pain in my life. Since giving my life to The Most High, I've been gaining so much perspective. Thank you brother for these videos. I'm steady getting stronger in Christ with the knowledge you drop and reading the Bible.
Bruh you so right! I always have that thought like ppl who don’t smoke weed really be better off in life.
THANK YOU for sharing this brother! I truly appreciate the fact that so many black men who come from similar struggles are sharing their experience and knowledge.
I have stopped everything except cigarettes...that's next! Weed gives extreme anxiety if smoked constantly. Thank you Jesus!
"Nothing was created to be smoked."
Amen!
You’re helping me build my relationship with God. You explain his word in a way I understand. It’s hard for me to accept but I feel my relationship with my sons father coming to a dead end. I’m starting to see that he’s “a friend of the world”. I pray this changes for our sons sake.
Pray for God to enter your sons father's heart ❤️. When I found God my husband was the last person I would picture praying but I prayed for him and now my husband prays every day, God is so good 🙏
Rewatching all of these quitting weed vids
bro what you said about the penial gland closing is SO TRUE when I was doing weed daily I could never remember my dreams but when I stopped for like a week I finally was able to remember my dreams
This is the last thing I am struggling to get rid of. I am barely smoking at this point but I see myself going back some still. I will keep praying and staying in the word as much as I can to help fight it
Been smoking since 16 daily, really tough to quit ive conquered alot and ive fallen even more. 7 times i may fall but i WILL get back up.
BRo you goin all the way in. in this video. Through a dream God showed me two demons that was plagueing my body. Both were strongholds and those habits were limiting me and worked in tandem together(draining me of my energy). One was the watching of the websites and the other was smoking weed. Also he gave me two things to replace them with. . Keep on speaking the truth. To God be the glory!
You are an OLD SOUL to be so young. Thank you for your loving wisdom. 🙏🏽

I'm fighting a daily battle with weed and prescription meds,I got diagnosed with PTSD as I served the British army for the best part of 10 years,that's no excuse for my weakness but it does help me sleep at night,I got baptised 1month ago and I've been going to church for 4 months,I get on my knee's and pour out to our Lord to be released from my addiction,I'm blocking his blessings I fear,I play the guitar and have given up on secular music,I'm now learning gospel music,amazing grace is my first song,I learned to play it yesterday,I'm focusing on my bible and music instead of weed,I can hardly remember my dreams,I use to get vision's in my dreams,I hope they come back,occupy your mind,I have cut down a lot over the past 3 months,1 day at a time,please pray for me to stop smoking,thank you and God bless.
Praise God! I Will be free. May the Lords will be done
Amen 🙏🏿
I smoked chronically for ten years straight. I hurt my back very badly again at the beginning of 2022 and I had to take opiates for 5 months while waiting for my surgery. In that time I had the opportunity to quit smoking weed. I got off all prescribed medication within 17 days of my spinal surgery. I am so strong and very happy to be sober from it all! I will never smoke again because I have had far more than enough hoots in my lifetime. I can just think of the shitty feeling instead of acting out of habit.
This is what I needed 30 years ago... So much information out here...
Amen 🙏🏻
God Bless You Bro.
Your content is real.
Enoch Chapter 8 how women were taught to put make up on.
I wish so many Christians would understand that.
May Christ Continue to Bless Your family
This video, even though I’m seeing it a year late, is confirmation for me to stop. I started smoking at age 16, stopped at 23 when I had my daughter, and didn’t smoke for many years. I got married, my husband turned out to be a covert narcissist and the emotional abuse was soul crushing. I started smoking again to deal with my depression and anxiety, and it seemed to help. But I know its bondage, so I am on my quitting journey. I rationalized with myself for years that because I “feel” better when I smoke, it couldn’t be that bad. I used to have suicidal ideations before I started smoking, so I am a little scared to go cold turkey. Y’all pray for me.
Thanks man I'm 27 days sober no smoking or drinking
Appreciate you G. Thank you lord for this being I’m my feed. I wasted like 8yrs of my life. I’m 30 now, ITS TIME 🚀
Going through my journey right now man, really appreciate these videos
Day 4 I feel good. Finally got back to being social. I was smoking for social anxiety, only for it to make me more socially anxious. Feels good to me sober 🙏🏿
I'm ashamed of my past and you are helping me to come to the Lord, thank you so much. God bless you!!!
You are so welcome
On my second day I got this keep spreading the word brother God bless
THANKY FRIEND!! Everything you said are all the reason I know better, it’s out of habit
and A time waster. I literally been fighting the flesh, I’ve stopped 5/6 month’s then get around ppl and slowly start again.. just confirmation from the LORD! 🙌🏾👏🏾
Love you brother, thank you for your words of wisdom! I'm on day 2 and its hella rough cause I've been stoned for 24 years.
The high switched up sooo much when God wanted me to stop. It literally became something very dark spiritually, after all it is somewhat of a spiritual drug but TMH showed me i was just opening doors it was super bad. He also showed me that it makes me effeminate and there is no way i could lead a women while getting high.
My older brother started me off on it when I was about 4th grade , and this was in 86. I've smoked everyday since then. My wife thinks I need it I don't. It's legal in my state and on almost every corner. But I want nothing to do with it and I'm trying to quit and it's the hardest thing I've ever done and all my life. I haven't watched this video yet but I was just responding that you even did one like this period thank you and God-bless you.
Thank you, I happened to come across your channel & really needed to hear this message today. Warm regards and blessings from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 God is Great! 🙏💞💪
Needed this
One important benefit is: you earn your memory back also!!! I felt like my ability to recall information was 10x better because when I was high all the time it felt like my mind was always buffering to remember the simplest details and that also affects your speech because you be sounding dumb tryna remember regular vocabulary words to have normal conversations.
My worst experience ever smoking weed was when I greened out from smoking a tall bong with my group of friends and at the time I was still new to smoking, I was only 17. It was the worst agony I’ve ever experienced. I lost all control of my mind and body and it felt like demons were literally taking over, I had no control of myself anymore and I thought I was actually gonna die that day from the trauma and pain. I also remember that was the first encounter I kinda had with God, I remember just screaming out his name and in an instant the pain and agony just disappeared, but then I had to experience that same day for another hour it was weird, but since then it made me realize how real God and Satan is. I was really having a spiritual warfare in my mind, it was crazy.
When u quite it definitely makes u more confident because in my high state there would be alot of voices in my head. When u cut those voices off you can confidently here yours and do the right things
