Freed From 20-Year Porn Addiction After Hearing The Gospel

Overcoming Guilt & Addictions

I accepted Jesus and have been attending New Creation Church for many years. Despite so, I was still holding on to my past failures, hurts, and rejections and living with a secret pornography addiction.

Sometimes I lost control and let the person I secretly was break out. I became a different person—mean, angry, full of depressive and even suicidal thoughts. I gave up on fighting long ago and was so defeated that every time this happened, I shut myself down, silently accepting that the lustful man on the inside was just part of me.

Thankfully, things started to change in the year 2022. In January, I subscribed to the Gospel Partner programme because I wanted to support my pastor. I started listening to the sermons. The preaching was good as always, scriptural, straight to the point, and highly entertaining. I continued the subscription and kept listening until I could finish an entire sermon almost every day.

I just listened without much expectation. But freedom came in a way that I did not know how and when. All I could recall was that one time when the desire to watch pornography arose, a voice inside me said, “Stop it. You can.” I answered, “Yes.” Only much later did I understand that this was the moment I finally started receiving His grace. I just felt the desire become so weak that I could easily resist it. After that victory, my desire to watch pornography just kept decreasing until it was completely gone. It happened so super-naturally that I did not even realise it was a miracle that was delivering me from a 20-year bondage.

As I look back, I realise I have been radically transformed, seldom thinking about my past. I had no time for that. I became too busy enjoying a life full of Jesus’ abundance and His purposes for me. Bad thoughts and negative feelings still come, but I’ve learned to walk through them by knowing that I do not need to pretend. By Jesus’ blood, I AM the good, happy man that I always longed to be.

I felt led to write this testimony after I read Pastor Prince’s book Destined to Reign 15th Anniversary Edition on the Joseph Prince app. After seeing people giving their testimonies, I wanted to add my witness to the truth: I live right by believing right.

Thank you for the Gospel Partner programme and for making thousands of sermons available at my fingertips. If not, I wouldn’t encounter and know Jesus in such an accelerated way. Thank you, Pastor Prince, for tirelessly shouting out the true gospel of grace year after year.

Thank You, Jesus, my Savior, for loving me so much and making me righteous forever!

Deliverance From Heavy Addictions, Now Saved And Blessed

I grew up without my mother, so my grandmother had to fill in the role as my mother. When she passed away, my life went downhill. Though I was already a believer, I stopped going to church. My family also had little time for me, and I lived a rebellious lifestyle. With little guidance, I got into bad company. At the age of 16, I was drinking almost every day, and smoking up to one and a half packets of cigarettes daily. I even got hooked on drugs for a period of time.

At the age of 21, I attempted suicide due to stress from a toxic relationship and many other things. This was the third time I tried to kill myself since I was 16. Needless to say, it was another unsuccessful attempt. I was admitted to the hospital and placed in the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) for a while.

The entire ordeal was a blur to me, but during that dark season, I remember crying in my room, and hearing a voice saying, “I Am”.

I did not know what that meant until a few months later, after I came back to New Creation Church and started attending services regularly. Through Pastor Prince’s teaching, I realised that God never left me, especially in my time of need. I believe that the voice I heard during my dark season was God telling me, “I am your provision, I am your salvation”, and most importantly, “I am here”.

Today, I am 23 years old and I am completely set free from the chains that had a hold of me. In fact, it was almost impossible for me to quit smoking, but after I prayed and asked God for deliverance on my birthday, my Abba Father answered my prayer. And when God gives, He gives in abundance.

My relationship with my family has been restored, and I am also blessed with a boyfriend who loves and cares for me. He even attends church with me and is now saved!

Praise the Lord for not giving up on me, and turning the darkest period of my life into a testimony. I am so grateful for God’s grace, and I look forward to hearing Pastor Prince’s sermons every week!

Overcoming Guilt & Addictions

Freed From Addictions Through Grace

My parents divorced when I was young, and I grew up with severe trust issues. I first got saved at a Christian conference years ago. Over the years, my intimacy with God started to fade and I found myself tempted by many things.

I became addicted to porn, alcohol, and drugs. On top of that, I also had an eating disorder. I would try very hard to be right with God, but found myself falling into legalism and constant self-condemnation.

I believed I had committed the unpardonable sin, that God had cut me off and there was no way back. I became sick from the stress of it, suffered panic attacks and was in agony.

Then, the Lord led me to Pastor Prince’s sermons and I learnt what grace truly is. I also learnt that the heart of our heavenly Father is full of love and mercy. Pastor Prince’s messages ministered to my soul.

I am no longer addicted to porn, alcohol, and drugs; and I do not have an eating disorder! The desires for these things left when I learnt about the superabounding grace of God. I know that I am forgiven, cleansed, and restored by the precious blood of Jesus.

Thank you, Pastor Prince, for your teachings on the grace and finished work of Jesus.
