I was recently saved, and you can be too.
If you’re someone who’s struggling with loneliness, porn/masturbation addiction, or anything else, you aren’t alone. And God loves you so much that He wants to have a relationship with you, and wants to break those chains that sin has you entangled in.
Before I received eternal life, I had bad anxiety, porn/masturbation addiction, homosexual thoughts, and loneliness.
When the pandemic hit, I found myself on the wrong side of the internet that convinced me that my identity was in things that made me a victim (my race, being “lesbian” (not really though), my gender, things like that). Found myself in some New-Age practices that led me to be obsessed with finding “the one” (or my “twin flame). Started calling myself lesbian, different genders, and being hateful towards men. Pretty much every negative thing on the list besides marriage problems. This was between the ages 14-17/18.
Then, within the last several months, I started to realize that some of the things I had learned during the few times I went to church as a child and heard from other Christians might’ve been true. I chose to give my life to Christ.
Now that I have eternal life, I’ve lost the desire I used to have for worldly things like masturbating, porn, fast food. I’ve lost the homosexual thoughts I used to have.
I was in the comfort of my own room again. A little bit chilly, a little dark. A usual setting where I’d end up finding myself watching porn and masturbating again. But instead, I turn on worship music, and pray for my thoughts to honor the Lord as I’m in the quietness in my room. This continues, and I find I’ve given up porn and masturbating for days.. something I wouldn’t have thought I’d be able to do months ago.
Knowing that I have eternal life through Jesus Christ gives me the peace I need to know that in this fallen world, if I passed away soon, I’d be with my Heavenly Father.
Your testimony matters too
