Man, sex is not a game!
When you get linked to someone who's involved with perversion, all those spirits will come after you as well. Thank God that Jesus has given us freedom from sin! 💕
So incredibly true I've seen people get delivered from demons they got from porn.
My sister in Christ, no lies, i have come across people filled with these foreign spirits in dating, after spending time with them - i was so overwhelmed, i was so condemned, i was crying praying to God asking for forgiveness with ever coming across this person, due to my involvement.
1 was into Egyptology and had a ton of foreign gods in his place.
2nd one was gender fluid and has anxiety and depression with identity issues.
all of these were so overwhelming on my spirit. Both wanted 1 thing and I simply said NOPE. Matthew 12 of 7 demons coming back in with stronger ones got played in my mind and all. 😩
I can testify to that, don't do it
@@porschenator whoa I too was involved with someone who gender identity issues.
@@evaschroeder5869 it weighed heavy on my heart, i pray for him even though he stopped talking to him because i became vulnerable with him about how God healed me. his in dare need of God's touch and love.
Great testimony. I had similar experience. Got into transsexual prostitutes. And str with homosexuality and transsexual attraction and lust in general and pornography for many years! Definitely started getting major freedom this year! Praise Jesus. He is the GOOD SHEPHERD.
I can relate to a sense of profound shame. Profound!
@Aaron Phelps There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus! You don’t need to feel shame because God will wash it all clean. You are a new creation!
Coming out of porn sex addiction I completely relate to this man praise God for his goodness and mercy
P
God loves you & you have purpose 🥰& God has plans for you to succeed🙏never let anyone take joy & God doesn’t want you to hurt or feel shame- just ask God who you are- & that’s ur true identity
And isn’t that strange… That through the portal of pornography, it eventually twists you into believing that a person with duality, half girl half boy is something that’s attractive or sexually desirable? The devil loves to distort and pervert. Praise God you conquered it with his divine help
That’s a brave testimony. That’s not easy.
His own family preyed upon him. Horrible
@@michellerosiles8509 what is family if it’s not love. Better to have a friend then a loveless family.
We inherit so many spiritual curses and bondages because of generational sin. No family is perfect. Once they are renounced and Jesus sets us free we don't have to be apart of the toxicity any longer. I just set very firm boundaries around me and my spiritual family is who I have. Jesus said if you love your mother. father, brother or sister more than me, you are not worthy to serve me. Sexual sin is a sin against yourself and corrupts your mind, body, spirit, emotions. Only Jesus breaks us free from any sinful lifestyle we fall into or inherit. I don't think the "Plandemic" is COVID at all I have always thought it was all the sexual and spiritual abuse sick people perpetrating on infants, children, and innocent victims. Human trafficking is at its highest and the main culprit is the United States. I believe that's the "Pandemic- Plandemic". That's the way of the world.
Amen
Yes it is. I’ve dealt with the same and those urges or demons still creep. Although I had confidence and didn’t have low self esteem it’s the act and sensation it gives to know you can have that release at any time desired with some money. I believe sex transmits spirits or something and becomes hard to control. Just have to acknowledge it’s going to be hard going through with drawls and find hobbies or activities and instead of looking for the feeling of sex rather start relationships with the opposite sex to understand and feel that companionship. Can write a book about it but yes brave man for sharing a story which so many feel ashamed of.
Brother, I feel you. I’ve been raised in a Christian home. Then I joined the military. Go out on deployment and let go of everything. I was surrounded by so many people that told me to just let go, and live. So I did. I got with a few prostitutes. Two to be exact and I knew it was wrong and still did it. I completely lost my way. Terrified to tell my family. Terrified to go to church. I know Jesus will forgive me but it’s still awful that I even thought about sexual feelings like that. Then, one day I heard a song. “The Almighty God” and completely broke down. Started to study the Bible little by little each day. I don’t think I deserve to ask, but pray for me. Please. I think I’m going in the right direction now but the temptation of lust is still there. I would appreciate some prayer from anyone. God bless you and your family! ❤
Hello everyone. My name is Sean. These past couple years I have really struggled with my walk . I am desperate to become close with Jesus again I just feel no matter what I do I can’t get that relationship back that I used to have. If you read this a prayer for me would be truly appreciated :) god bless y’all
This might be of little help but remember that Jesus is always waiting for you and you are so loved
Jesus didn’t go anywhere. Remember his arms are open wide. Stay reading your Bible, keep a good prayer life every day and stay watching and listening to Christian content. You can’t be more saved if you are born again. Ask God to give you a heart for jesus
Fast & pray yourself
That a trick of the enemy. You definitely can have that relationship back and have it stronger than before. Fast and Pray!
Once you have that relationship back; practice his divine principles that are found in the scriptures..this will solidify your bond with God
I felt this testimony on a molecular level. I have been in church all my life and I have always had problems with sexual sin and now for a couple months now I have been falling from prostitutes. Tonight I was with a prostitute and after the Lord spoke to me about her I definitely didnt want to say anything because of how guilty and horrible i felt.. But even in our mess I spoke to her and she began to break down and wail for forgiveness and we both asked the lord for forgiveness and mercy. I'm a mess and a sinner you guys and I take God's mercy for granted. I want to change.
Glory be to God ❤✝️🫶
❤❤❤
That is so sweet and lovely. Bless you and her both! ❤. Hugs. I'll pray for you
If you need someone to support you spiritually one sinner to another and walk a road with Jesus together lmk reply back .. lets give him the glory so he change our stories
The truth will set you free, Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life! Read his word the holy Bible! Jesus set me free he saves me!
This video inspired me so much. It’s so similar to what I’m going through. I’m former LGBT and it is for sure a daily choice to follow Jesus and obey him. Having accountability is so valuable and helpful. Jesus gives us people for that reason. We’re all a part of the church, his beloved, for one reason. We’re here to seek Jesus. Wonderful testimony brother
God be with you.
Amen! This is so correct! Praying for peace throughout your journey and life, in Jesus name :)
I struggle(d) with same sex attraction as well and I'm coming to believe it's indeed a daily choice. May God have mercy on us and help us.
To whomever reading this you've cried your last cry about that situation. Get ready to live a happiness healthier abundantly blessed & prosperous life.I speak peace over you. GOD has covered up & protected.😇🙌🏽🕊
Worship and Prayer I read your message when I felt overwhelmed and scared... Godbless you...
Amen!
Thank you! Amen! 💞🙏💞
Thank you for your prayer ❤️ Praying the same for you
Id love to believe that! I really would!!
i remember a pastor mentioning how Satan really tries to attacks the worship teams of churches, worship teams need more spiritual protection😕
Thanks mate. I really needed to hear this right now. Im in the same situation. God lead me to this for testimony for sure..Accoutibility is the answer . God bless this guy!
Really it's not though, "those who walk by the Spirit will not gratify the desires of the flesh". Going beyond accountable to righteous and Spirit filled is the end of all sin.
I was so helped out of shame by accountability in my life but true freedom from sin only came when I spent my life in righteousness and full of the Holy Spirit! Romans 6 :)
He seems truly repentant. I am relieved that he mentioned accountability, because his wife is not responsible for his healing and women are not to be used as fillers. I hope the best for them.
Fillers…I like that! That makes sense in many cases..
bro i was in a cycle of lust in my head and legit had one moment of serious contemplation of suicide. we’re not all built the same. this stuff is so dangerous. i was depressed for nearly 5 years but failing God like this was is actually the worst feeling possible. and it lasted like 3 months. no swearing i know but i want to scream it in everyones souls STAY AWAY FROM IT
I am a female who suffered from this in silence. So much stigma and shame surrounded among women who have dealt with this. I too contemplated suicide. It also led me to resent men as in my household I heard offensive sexist language. Hearing that you were a man who struggled and felt unhappy didn't like this is very comforting. Mary Magdalene was a prostitute who became a descipel of Christ she too suffered from sexism. I never want to be a stumbling to men who are serious about God. I believe that the devil tries to mess with relationships between men and women and sexuality. He hates Love marriage and families. What is good of God and sacred. Ephesians for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but cosmic forces of darkness in the heavenly love.
Me too paying for sex with escorts really led me to the place where i feel; like dying
@@beforetheedge1 I pray for you I dont know your name , but God Knows You and Wants you to ask him for help in Jesus name ! Jesus loves you ❤ I pray for you 🙏✝️
@@PinkSalsa Thank u so much
@@beforetheedge1 you should really watch Katie Souza and Robert Henderson’s courtrooms of heaven
So glad you chose to speak on it and not keep it in. We give the enemy so much foothold and advantage over us when we keep that shame and guilt inside
Truth shall set us free… ‼️‼️ God please give me the courage to confess and break the chains of bondage! All things in darkness will be taken into the light! Thank You Jesus for your truth and faithfulness.
Amen!!
Confession can start as simple with opening your mouth in a quiet place like closet. God didn't say you had to broadcast it to the world. But confess all of your sins the most ugliest, nastiest, vile, dirty things you have been hiding. And then turn away from them hating it so much you never want to do it again. EVERYTIME I think about the past (because the enemy will then try to taunt you) I immediately yell I'm Free from shame and guilt. He wants relationship not religion also
One thing I noticed with the pattern of sin is that the devil will use shame and guilt to keep you in bondage. As Christians we need to show so much love to others that they will never fear to be judged by us. We are all struggling with different types of sins and none is worse than the other. The more we love others the more we help them in their quest for freedom from sin and the more we help ourselves in our own quest for freedom. I thank God for all these testimonies. May His Name be praised!
Amen amen 🙏
I’ve been realizing how important it is to have a community of believers to be able to come to not only to worship Jesus and study Gods word, but also to receive help with the temptations and trials of life. Thank God for other believers as there is an array of gifts people are given in the Christian life.
I also find it very admirable that this man did not disappear from his community and was actually used during his process to help others. Just goes to show how amazing God is and how He can use anything for His benefit.
God is amazing awesome powerful i love my beautiful God almighty so stay focused stay encouraged and be blessed in Jesus's name amen
"He is fighting for you. It's just looked different than what I thought" . Powerful.
That is a true honest and brave testimony. What stands out in this for me the most is how he continues to hold to Jesus as his protector against evil and also that he thought of his wife and child and how the consequences of continued sinning in such a way would harm them, harm his family. A man is called by God to protect his family. I wish my husband would have chosen God and us over his lust. He continues to cheat on his present girlfriend after having cheated on a second wife after me and he is so wrapped up in lust and upholding his false image that I wonder what will happen... it is so sad and he brought so much harm and pain to many of us... he also now has a daughter...and yet continues to do this base thing. God help men today as our world is filled with lustful things and easy access to pornography and very easy women too.
Most "very easy women " are incredibly broken, abused and neglected from very early childhood. Generally, they are dealing with a lot of past trauma themselves. It's a wounded world full of wounded people.
I'm amazed how powerful these testimonies are. This life story gives so much insight into the psychological and spiritual battle that sin brings into our life. Shame is such a potent enemy. My story is different than this young man but I related to him so much and learned a lot from him. I'm thankful for this amazing ministry and I'm grateful for all the participants who bravely and freely share their personal testimonies. 💞
What those family members did to you was down right evil. Thank God you have been delivered now. God bless you and keep you.
More men struggle with this than what a lot of people will ever know. Just think of this... there are GREAT renowned men in the scriptures that even fell to the vices of
lust/prostitutes. King David went so far as to have a man set up and killed for the sake of lust.
Proud of him for coming forward with this...
Jesus is king ✝️❤️🔥👑
Its almost good to share with someone what you're going through because they may be praying with you with a team because prayer is powerful.
I'm feelin that prayer doesn't work in my situation because I'm continuin to pray n I feel like the reason God hasn't answered my prayer is because it's not in his will sometimes I feel like givin up
@@Fatima-fe9wnkeep praying for release from this addiction. Don't give up
“I have a choice to make.” That was so impactful. This is what I’m reminding myself when fighting my daily sin struggles. Thank you for sharing your testimony. This has helped exponentially!
You gotta have a good church community and leadership to do this. If I had a problem and told my pastor he’d probably leak to someone and the whole church would find out. Glad he had a good pastor to tell.
I hope you’ve found a new church
😂😂🙌🏼When he went off praying in Spanish “Padre nuestro que estas en los cielos” So relatable
Praise God for your testimony 🙏🏼✨
😂😂
What a precious sweet soul this man has and what a powerful testimony!!! My heart broke as I heard what his own family did to him but God is real and He is good and Holy and can make all things and people new!
Agree
A powerful testimony!!! I have struggled with prongraphey and maturation. I am free from prongraphey for four years. When the son sets you free. You are free indeed!!! Above,all guard your heart because it influences everything else in your life the Bible tells us this.
Deliverance is a must!
JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY DOOR TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER,…………AMEN
I hope these brave brothers and sisters get care after sharing these testimonies. That's a lot of baggage to relive.
Praise the Lord and thank you brother for sharing this testimony. Many men struggle with porn, masturbation and prostitution in the church. May we continue to flee youthful lust and run to the Lord. Lust and sexual sin will always be powerful and dangerous but our Lord is stronger and will keep us. Keep praying and run to Him. He will keep us.
Love is so sacred. The coming of two people to become one is awesome. When we use holy love agape as sex it brings much suffering. Great testimony!!
Thank you brother for sharing your testimony. May the Lord enrich your calling with favor and power by the Holy Spirit. Mau every need be met and may you live in the abundance of His blessings. In Jesus mighty name, Amen.
Amen!
I respect you for sharing your testimony and awesome to see the prompts that The Lord puts on your heart with stepping in as the spiritual leader for your marriage and family. Praise The Lord
Not to diminish this man’s testimony but so many of those women.. are broken and need Jesus I’m sure many of themfeel an equal amount of shame … I say this because I feel like the lord has been telling me to work with these women and bring his daughters back home🙏🙏🙏
We ALL have something we have or will feel shameful about . Not many of us are brave enough to testify . This helps a lot of us feel seen. Thank you so much for sharing your story!!!!!!!!!!
this is my same situation I was raised in a christian home but got involved with some prostitutes I felt like there was no coming back from that
I'm the same brother how are you now?
I’m the same guys, but I ended exposing myself to my parents
Great channel , love what y’all are doing I’m certain the Lord is pleased with you all 🙏🏽
That testimony took so much courage! I am proud of you! ❤ Jesus loves you! You should forgive yourself too
When you cry out to God he hears us. I struggle with food addiction myself. Ive prayed, fasted, gone to church. I too thought that Id be radically delivered. But no, i took accountability and finally sought help. It felt so weird telling someone that I had a eating disorder. But I know it has to be done. Every time i got on RUclips this message has been right there at the top. Reading the title i was like what does that have to do with my story?
Thank you guys for this ministry. Its really helping people.
Wow. Incredible how God heals us all so differently. He knows what is best…what a good, good Father!💞
Bro what a testimony!! I have so much respect for you, for sharing and owning your story but also for confessing and seeking healing. You are such an inspiration, God bless you
Wow thank you for sharing this. This takes bravery. This testimony will help others. The devil has got a hold on billions on people. It's very sad. Jesus can redeem! Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross so that we can be forgiven ! We are ALL sinners
Thanks for sharing this! God bless you.
Sometimes we don't understand how soul ties are so strong. I was obviously curious about sex growing up especially when you hear people around you talking about it. But thanks to God I waited till I got married age 22.
I am going through a similar situation. I appreciate that Jose mentioned that people can be offended at God because of how they need to fight and contend against the sin and themselves.
I believe that if I were truly to pursue after God the way and degree that I need to, I could not be tempted with lust as I would not desire the sin.
I have continuously found that multiple things in my life require me to fight to a degree of commitment and determination that I often don’t have. I put forth a certain amount of effort but I don’t go the full way of exhibiting every amount of effort necessary to get the intended result.
I feel like I’d need some sort of trail or suffering in my life to cause me to behave and obey with as much consistency and commitment as needed. But, the losses I am presently experiencing (or am near experiencing) are purely because of my own doing.
The only hope I can see is that God intends by some means to give me what I need such that my will would be oriented to choose not to sin or that I would rely on others to keep me away from being able to carry out the choice to sin.
I haven’t struggled with escorts in particular for years as Jose did and I was transparent with multiple people about my actions around the time they began.
I appreciate Jose sharing his testimony.
I would hope to have one as well.
Have to go one day at a time. He has to give us a new perspective. Took me 7 years after stopping the action of it to be free mentally. And Satan comes hard. He will send gorgeous girls to tempt. It’s crazy.
I was even once listening to the Bible alone at midnight. Free for about 6 months. Roommate brought a super model over that I had to befriend while he hung out with his girlfriend.
I thought it was from God. So dumb. Eventually had sex bc she was aggressive. I would just make deals with God saying I will marry her. But she was a wild one. Back to broken and getting clean again.
It’s hard to turn down. I think many of us have demons from porn etc. and we need to do deliverance prayers. Bc now I have no issue. But God had to destroy me. Make me very weak. Now I flee from it. Better to be alone.
But remember when the urges come. Just try to make it through the day. Sit in it. Don’t respond. If you fail and masterbate just repent and start over. Eventually I don’t have the urges anymore. Look at people by the Spirit as children of God and not in the flesh as sexual objects
So many of us have lived double lives. Confessing really does help. I've had to do it many times to finally overcome. 🙏
Who do u confess to
@@ricardomendoza1796 Jesus
Sweet (Caroline) testimony. Seems like a very nice guy. God bless him and his family in Jesus name, Amen.
A blessing to see his testimony. Seems to be a big problem with males expecting to lose their virginity before marriage. That it makes them men. As a female, I had the pressure. I never felt good when I lost my virginity. Being raised in church by my parents, was my guilt. More shame realize God sees everything we do. Such a brave testimony he has. Thank God for this site. Glad to see so many accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior. I am saved!! Learned God is my first love in my adult life. Blessed God is so patient with us. 🙏🏾
Struggled with binge eating disorder. Was so broken and unhappy. God told me clearly to confess to others. Also did not want to and eventually did, which changed my life and helped me to really deal with it. Now mom of 3 and absolutely no remnance of disorder left in my life. God completely restored my life in this regard
Jose, I’m going through the same exact thing. I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Reading these comments I notice I’m not alone at all. I keep falling into sexual sin. I’ve been a slave to this sin for more than two decades now. I’m looking for deliverance. I need Jesus more than ever. I’m meeting with my pastor on Saturday to confess to him because I feel like I need to if I really am serious about following Christ with every fiber in my body. Please pray for me y’all because I can’t keep failing God. My name is Sebastian.
Sebastian, I pray that through the blood of Jesus Christ, you will be delivered from all bondages of sexual immorality.
God is good. He will never forsake you so please never forsake Him despite whatever struggles you'll go through.
May your story glorify Jesus.
I pray we meet in Heaven.
@@savedbyMyKingJesuswow thank you.. what I feel now is this shame that just overwhelms me. I feel complete shame over all of my lustful past.
@@5ebaso please remind yourself of Romans 8:1: "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus,fn who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit."
The devil is working hard to condemn you of your past but Jesus says it's all been forgiven. We have to let go and keep our eyes focused on Jesus, brother.
May you win this battle through your aid in Jesus.
When the test becomes a testimony. Wonderful! All glory to GOD!!! 🙏
Thanks!
Love how this channel is growing.I have a lot of respect for this guy telling his story. I’m sure a lot of other guys have done the same
Thank you for sharing your powerful testimony. I admire your bravery. Like you said when it all comes down to it we all have a choice. Walking away from addiction is extremely difficult but it is an active choice that you have to make over and over again. And that you chose to let others in when it was the last thing you wanted to do.
Through your story I can see God's grace. The way God gave you your wife as a motivation to walk away from your sin. And the fact that it was certainly God's timing and not yours! The thing that sticks with me is your question what kind of man do you want to be? The scripture is coming to my mind do EVERYTHING unto the Lord. Because he sees it all. Thank you brother. May God continue to bless you and your family.
POWERFUL STORY, Jose! So brave of you to be as vulnerable as you were. As someone who's struggled with sexual sin myself I greatly appreciated what you shared about how God took you on your healing journey and what he taught you that helped you not only get free but stay free. I can relate in a lot of ways. Grateful for your life!
One of the most impactful testimonies ever! Many people don't understand that free will comes with an obligation on our part to make right choices. Freedom comes from laying down our lives and trusting God to purge us of all unrighteousness. Freedom also comes from being willing to be vulnerable to the church community and despising the shame that comes from being transparent.
Lord put it on my heart if anyone reads this stop what your doing and just pray don’t stop till you feel the Holy Spirit tell you to If you end up praying the whole day thats fine because the Lord needs us all to come together around the world to pray today in Jesus name I pray Amen
Maaaaaaan , looks like I gotta confess ! I feel the same way , could relate to a lot of the stuff he said . Literally had sleepless nights from the shame .
Wow, I love that he was willing to be vulnerable and be accountable to someone through his process. It’s easy to hide your fault and shame and go into the secret place and ask for forgiveness and freedom. But when you’re willing to come out of hiding to see change…that’s a deeper level of humility that doesn’t go unnoticed by God. He’ll never turn from a humbled heart. He’ll never wince at any amount of shame. His love covers, heals, and restores. (1 Peter 4:8, Psalms 103:2-4)
Your testimony is a beautiful example of the strength of Jesus Christ in our life, each and every day! Amen and may the Lord continue to bless you and yours. Thank you for sharing your experience, this is needed to be shared, along with the telling of deliverance.
This is the sign of a real Christian man willing to sacrifice his desires to protect his wife and child. Loving your neighbor as yourself, and loving God.
Thanks for sharing brother. I am struggling with alcohol addiction and God is showing me it's an inner healing thing he's doing to work it out of me. I'm still in it,.but my heart for seeking God is growing back ...to intimacy with him..Lord help us all!!!
This was heart breaking. You can feel his pain in his explanation but our God is such a loving God and loves him so so much. Thank god for his support system and pushing himself to speak up. God is so good. Thank you Lord.
The enemy is cunning. He will use seemingly small things to trick and receive you.
Very powerful testimony! It was so brave of him to share his story, and in some ways I could very much relate to him. I love this channel so much pls keep doing what you're doing. God bless you!
Man, I thought I had this concurred years ago but it came back in my 50s going through a trial. We have to get the Sin out of us - Rom 7.
When a Son ofan sets you free you are free indeed.
fasting and addressing that stronghold and strongman.
Awesome testimony, I have been encouraged, it has given me strength and hope. God Bless the ministry and participants 🙏🏼 🙌🏼 your helping a lot of people God is using you guys in a major major way. I'm grateful.
I love this guy! A thousand "Likes." What a great testimony; the sincerity of his heart!
A VIRTUAL STANDING OVATION. I LOVE THIS. THANKFUL FOR THIS CHANNEL AND THE BRAVE CORAZONES WHO ARE OPEN!
This testimony is powerful and young people that become susceptible to this sin are truly struggling with a bondage. Freedom comes with faith and following his word. Confession & repentance brings healing.
Love this testimony! The only thing I disagree with is that addiction is choice. It might be for some people but others lose complete control over their lives. Im a recovered meth/heroin addict and I did not have choice at the end, hence the first step is admitting powerlessness. I was completely powerless over my addiction and it took an act of God to save me. I work with addicts and people that were as bad off as me and they don’t have a choice. The only choice they made was to start the addiction, after that people lose their choice.
I agree. It’s like telling a depressed person to just stop being depressed. Depressed people do not want to be like that.. it’s not a choice! Nor is any type of addiction
Hey 👋🏽 Jose here. To clarify, I agree with both of you. Addiction is so vile and so demonic I literally had no control over my choices and actions.
I meant that I/we have a choice to either seek deliverance and pursue Jesus or not-action vs. inaction. My “choice” was to run to the Father despite my shortcomings and iniquities.
This was recorded in one take. No opportunities to retract, fix or clarify comments/statements.
it is a choice to give in. However there is a stronghold and demonic spirit driving you to make those choices
I see it as a choice because you may not realize where the road will take you, but you do have a choice to take that first step. Then once you come into agreement with evil by rejecting God, you’re stuck until you ask for Him to get you out.
And there is a physical change that happens in your mind with addiction to drugs, sex, gambling, alcohol even depression and anxiety have their physical aspects. But God is god of it all on a molecular level and He can heal.
Wow what a testimony, I have a close family member who is ridden with depression and anxiety from past trauma. Grew up in the church but satan loves, steal kill and destroy your testimony will help others know that Jesus is fighting for us i really like when you said " he is fighting our battles but not in the way you thought he would" so true " Trust the process" so many great small words that our lord spoke to me. if our lord wants me to share your testimony i will. continue prayer over your life and your family Amen
Ay i love the way you are portraying this. You have such a nice way with words and describe those things in such nice details. Like how sin is like playing with fire and getting comfortable with it little by little. So true!
Thank you for doing this and you know what we're ought to do right?
Let's keep dashing towards that light and eternal life. Keeping a clean life
Thanks be to God for you brother
You know bro I liked what you said Jesus was the only one to run to and you didn't want to go away from him even though the situation was saying wow! I would say that's a life for a son of God🙌
This testimony taught a lot.
Thank you so much, I’ve been going through the same exact thing, I don’t desire it right now but I ask for prayers for when temptation may come again to be delivered from this, I also ask that you pray for me to find my wife God intends me to be with so that I can fight harder as well please and thank you:)
I pray you find your wife but please understand this is my testimony and story.
A wife/significant other does not guarantee you get deliverance from your sin. In my case, my conviction to be a protector for my wife was and Is greater than the addiction I battled.
I am praying for you. Stay strong and be encouraged.
@@narpldr thank you for your testimony brotha:), it also helped me a lot in the fact that other Christians struggle with this sin as well and thank you for your prayers, all I ask is you pray for me now and than and I’ll pray you continue to be used by God and bless you and your family:)
So brave to tell that, the enemy wants us to hide our sin behind closed doors. You have exposed the enemy! God bless you 🥰❤️🙏🏽🥲
Thanks so much for you vulnerability. Bless you as you bless so many!
Thank you for this testimony. I found it very helpful and a great comfort to my heart. I am grateful you have chosen to be a man and keep doing so each day for your wife and family in your heart. My prayer is God keeps providing his strength for your walk as a husband and father. This is a calling and ministry in my books.
I loved your testimony. Can you pray for my son Leon he suffers from schizophrenia he left Utah and hitchhiked all the way to Georgia he's off his medication he's lost and he's homeless sleeping at truck stops he's very sick with HIV and I don't know where he's at he lost his cell phone he's in a strange city in Georgia and I can't help him please have him come home call me so I know he's okay he's in a very dangerous area and he doesn't know anyone there I haven't been able to sleep.
Powerful❤. The key in his testimony was not being offended at God for what he had gone through, because many times we lose out on what God has to offer us because we are holding on to the offense that we have towards God.
Great testimony
What a remarkable & honest testimony. How can I reach this man? I was engaged but my fiance struggled with sex addiction yet not taking accountability. Soo..I broke off engagement. Heartbreaking and yet I know one day, he will be healed.
He probably needs deliverance..pray for him but focus on your relationship with God and your healing
Same story minus the engagement part. Pray for him often. But also know that you made a wise choice. Sexual sin is nothing to play with. Only Jesus can deliver him from it
Went through the same too.
He didn't want deliverance and turned out, didn't want me. It's ok. God helped me get over it.
I got involved with prostitutes after 9 years of regularly watching Porn. even though my first time wasn't with an escort/prostitute... I still got insanely addicted to this wicked pastime. I ended up sleeping with over += 70 women. ive just recently visited one a day ago. This addiction is REAL and truly evil.
How are You now brother?
Fight it brother....
Go to the gym and get into a hobby that's good for you. Eventually within time you'll see that the addiction becomes less and less when you fight against it.
Aka for the fear of God.
It’s a blessing that God didn’t do a crazy miracle healing power because he brought you friends and family that you always wanted. it’s so God blessed that you confessed and you took the long road because he bless you in so many ways. thank you for sharing your testimony it was great and brave thank you brother✊🏾🙏🏾
Much respect brother! Definitely not easy to talk about. Very powerful 🙏
Very brave man! Thank you for sharing. You WILL BE FREE!! God bless you!🙏🙏
Everyone please pray for me. I'm sick and tired of watching all these testimonies on RUclips and not having one of my own. I've been a Christian for 30 years but it doesn't feel like it because almost nothing about my life outside of Sunday at church is Christian other than i believe in Jesus and pray (for protection at night and when i want something selfish, honestly). Im addicted to sex and related stuff, have same sex attraction and just overall feel like a sad excuse for a believer. I'm tired of not knowing the next step and praying and asking God to help with an this crap and then not seeing any answers to those prayers. There's WAY more to the story but this is long enough. Please pray for me to have a breakthrough in all this stuff and someday have a testimony like this.
Jesus started his ministry with the words "repent, because God's kingdom is near". That's the first step into the life of being a true follower of him. Start with confessing your sins to God, your lukewarmness etc and surrender your life completely to Jesus. Then start being honest about yourself and pray that God leads you to the right people who you can be transparent to and have a fellowship with. The Sunday-Christian-Churchgoer-Life will never save nor change you. God is so much more. ❤ God bless you!
@@sarikorpi8179 have confessed my sins MANY times to him. still do, almost every day now. letting Jesus TOTALLY have my life, THAT is an issue. I've never been able to fully do that because of fear of the unknown. I don't know what God will allow me to go through if I do that, and i absolutely DESPISE pain, so, whether that thinking is flawed or not, I avoid giving myself fully to him because of that. I've never told him expressly that he can have all of me, as a result.
Thank you for sharing your story for God's glory! May many souls be encouraged to and influenced thru the holy spirit to surrender to The Most High. Stay close to The king of kings bro🙏 💜 🙌
If he would have been delivered in These 5 years, He couldnt give this testemony right now and Help other people to find the right way, too. I am so impressed!
God bless you! 💪🏼
Awesome story 🙌 very inspiring. God is good
Love how much he emphasized on accountability and being honest with yourself and those around you, thank you for this great installment. :)
Great testimony Jose, and I appreciate your honesty. People don't understand how sexual experiences can ruin one mind when it happens before they are ready. I'm glad that you are married with kids now, My God Bless you Brother 🙏
Praise God 🙌🏾
I needed this without deserving this. Thank you from my not sufficient humility. Hallelujah may his name be praised!!!!
Powerful Testimony. 🙏
powerful, powerful testimony to the realities of dealing with our sin... and the great importance of TELLING A TRUSTED PERSON, especially your pastor or a Christian friend! Thank you so much for your courageous vulnerability... without that level of HONESTY and VULNERABILITY your testimony wouldn't have the same power to TRULY HELP OTHERS and LEAD THEM TO JESUS for STRENGTH THROUGH THE DAY-TO-DAY BATTLE... the battle, that, as our FAITH GROWS IN CHRIST, becomes a bit (if not SIGNIFICANTLY) easier!!! God bless you and this channel!!!
Love this !!! Solidifies my faith and the Power of the Holy Spirits work in lives and this world for such a time as this !!! He’s searching and wooing and becoming person God created to have a relationship with Him. That’s He’s love mercy and grace spoke about in the Bible. Cannot explain how incredible God is, and never will… until we see Him face to face in the Home He Created-for those who love and obey Him and give our lives on this earth to. Jesus will save you because He loves us and has a special plan ONLY YOU CAN DO. so trust Him.
