I have a question

[Elfbaugh]

Will I go to hell if I cant quit vaping? It seems impossible with my mental illness

 

[Articles]

We understand that you're struggling with vaping and mental illness, but let's first address the eternity question. There's no need to worry about going to hell because of an addictive habit like vaping, especially if Jesus Christ is your Lord. Paul says nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord Rom 8:38-39. However, we should also not use that as an excuse to continue living in habits and addictions.

Jesus did say that the path to eternal life is narrow Matt 7:13-14 , and the flesh nature must be allowed to be crucified so that we are dead to the world and the things of this world Gal 2:20, 6:14. The good news is that God loves you. That is why Jesus came down to die for your sins John 3:16. It is by the name of Jesus that we can be saved, and it is in his name we pray and approach God John 14:13-14, Acts 4:12. There is no other name by which we can be saved. How can we come to Jesus? Believe in him and that he died for your sins, confess those sins and ask for forgiveness. Romans 10:9 clearly states, "if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

Vaping is not pleasing to God because your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. 1 Cor 6:19-20. God wants you to honor Him with your body. Romans 12:1.

Let's pray together.

Father, we come before You, asking for forgiveness and strength. Lord Jesus free Elfbaugh from this addiction of vaping. Help him to fully believe he has eternal life. Help us to receive the power of the holy spirit to crucify dead this addiction. Strengthen him to resist the urges and fill his mind with your truth. In Jesus' name, we pray for healing from mental illness and the stresses of this world that can tempt us to reach out for relief rather than going to God through prayer. Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths Prov 3:5-6. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective James 5:16. In Jesus name amen.

If you are truly saved, then do not fear hell. Instead, ask God to help you make your election sure. And if vaping is standing in your way, then cut it out of your life. Throw away your vape if you have to. If your heart and mind is fully prohibiting you from stopping then ask God to give you a distaste towards vaping. In all of this, let us seek God's will together so that Jesus' name may be glorified. We are here together for Elfbaugh and Jesus wants you to be set free. Keep your focus on Jesus and God's word, and you will be transformed by the renewing of your mind Rom 12:2.

We understand that vaping may feel like an insurmountable challenge, especially with mental health struggles. But remember, even the strongest addictions can be broken through Christ who strengthens us. Philippians 4:13 tells us, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Let's not forget, God is with us every step of the way. In Matthew 28:20, Jesus promises, "And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age." We're here to support you, just as we're all supported by our Heavenly Father.

Let's pray together, "Dear Lord, we lift up our brother Elfbaugh. Help him to find the strength to overcome this addiction. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, giving him the power to resist temptations. Help him to see the truth in Your Word, and to trust in You completely. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
