Before Jesus saved me, I was on the brink of my own life. I was porn addicted, going through strings of bad relationships and my parents were getting a divorce. All this was happening when I was 12/13 years old. I had anxiety, depression, I wanted to die, something a boy so young should not experience.
That was until Jesus accepted the prodigal son back home. Before I was dating her, my current girlfriend accepted me into her church family. Her own family have accepted me as family and I feel so loved. And while I’ve not been perfect and sinless, I have still committed adultery by looking at porn on the Internet. Jesus has been by my side every step of the way even if I didn’t want to believe it.
I’m 19 now, the healing process of my soul is slow going, but necessary to show others the glory of God’s forgiveness and grace. My girlfriend has stood by my side for 4 and a half years, even when I relapsed time after time after time. All praise to the God who heals! Praise him when you’re down, praise him when you’re up. Praise him forever and ever. Amen.
Amen brother! God bless you!
Truly I thank God for the grace you have found in His eyes. However the exercising of your faith to accept Jesus Christ as the Lord of your life is only the first step. You mentioned not being sinless and committing adultery. You also mentioned the healing of your soul as a gradual and slow process. These comments lead me to believe that you still need deliverance from sin, or at very least the deliverance from the sinful adamic nature. Salvation and the Born again experience are the first instantaneous work of grace that frees you from the power of sin and past sin’s committed and places within you the divine nature of Christ. There is a second blessing that can be sought for and obtained by complete surrender of everything to God called sanctification. this experienc roots out and frees you from the sin nature that everyone was born with. After receiving sanctification the second definite work of grace you can pray for and receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost, just like He was received in acts chapter 2.
Blessed be the Lord. I am happy for you and I thank God. Hold steadfast on Jesus!
