How God SAVED Me From My P*rn Addiction (MY TESTIMONY)

- This is my testimony of how God saved me from my p*rn addiction.
Whatever your addiction is… it wasn’t overnight. It was gradual. I didn’t just wake up one day addicted to porn. You didn’t just wake up one day addicted to weed. And there’s a quote that goes along with this concept and it’s “The chains of habit are too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.” There was a start to your addiction that didn’t happen overnight. And there’s a start to your walk in salvation with God but the difference is once you repent, God starts working on you RIGHT at that second.
You are not your past. You are how you respond to your past. You can change RIGHT now, and it doesn’t just start with you, it starts with God.
This is my testimony. And I hope this message can connect to those who need it the most. All credits to God. Thank you for watching. God bless

I watched pron, was depressed, thought i had no reason to live, felt alone, etc. But one night 2020-2021 i legitimately cried out to the Lord, got on my knees and prayed like i never have before. As far as i remember, my life changed from that night forward, my guilt was gone and my desires to sin were no more, I was filled with peace and joy from the Holy Spirit, i felt confident with myself, and the heaviness on my head and shoulders was no more. I felt the desire to pray, read Gods word, and attend church. Whenever i went outside i didnt see the gloomy grey world we live in, i saw the beauty of Gods work. Unfortunately i fell back into pron a year later and continued to turn my back towards the Spirit for awhile. Since the start of 2024 i have been trying to build my relationship with the Lord back up and i pray/study his word every morning & night. Ik this walk back wont b easy but ik God is with me and here to guide me.
it'll be ok! Trust Him and keep trying hard. You are not alone. God loves you still
That's powerful ❤
God is a Being of infinite wisdom, power and love. As the Creator of all that exists, God is the ultimate source of goodness, truth and beauty. God is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent, meaning God is everywhere, knows all that is, was, and will be, and has the power to do anything. God is also the source of all love and compassion, and is always available to those who seek Him. Despite the challenges we may face in life, God promises to never leave us or forsake us, and to always be with us. May the Lord bless you and keep you, and may His face shine upon you, and give you peace.
I pray for you, my brother in Christ. I too was in a situation very similar to that but God pulled me out of that horrible, dark, bottom-less burning hole. Thank the Lord for everything, he is the reason we are here and the reason we may one day find eternal happiness in his arms. Read your bible every day, spoil your heavenly father every day, especially in the morning, pray and praise him for everything. Treat others with kindness, follow in his footsteps, give him your heart, your soul, your life, your love, your peace, yourself, your EVERYTHING... and every other thing you have. (Excuse my horrendous English)
Amen brother you got this
I'm currently in a battle with porn addiction and I keep falling short please pray for me this video was definitely a blessing in my life thank you Jotivation for sharing!
He will save you flee from sin 🤍🤍🤍
I will pray to you bro 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Pray and fast to break the stronghold. Begin to turn your mind away from the subject, better yet, when this happens, go and pray and read a few chapters to get your mind on the Word. My prayers to God were literally long conversations that would be on the topic in these strong urges. It got to the point I began to become disgusted with the habit where 4 weeks sober became a couple months to now 2 years free. It took 8 years, but it paid off. I had this habit for 22 years total. Don’t be surprised later once you break the habit, the dreams will come, but the Holy Spirit will give you the strength to endure and encourage you to keep going.
Let's go warriors in Christ.
If God is with us, what can mere mortals do to us.
AMEN
AMEN!!!!!!!😁😁
Amen ❤❤❤❤
Same story here brother. Instead of focusing on your sins, focus on god and jesus. They will safe you from this sinful act. God bless y’all!
Yes, when faced with temptation, are you going to run to sin?
Or run to God…?
I am 56 years old. I was addicted to alcohol as a Christian for most of my life. God lead me to learn a new language it became such a passion that i didn’t want to drink alcohol because it would interfere with my ability to study.
I used to be addicted to Porn and Masturbation but when I started to give my Life to God that changed. I am no longer addicted Thanks to the Lord.
Did u ever get attacked in dreams or had sleep paralysis when you started walking in the light?
@sugarfly456 idk about sleep paralysis but nightmares and sexual urges do start torment me at night when im tryna quit.
@@youthful6098 it's a common enemy iswearrr. Especially after fasting the spiritual warfare intensifies and many falls during including myself. I recently learned that it can be due to generational curses or bloodline iniquities hence the sleep paralysis or spirit spouse. If ur finding it hard to quit even after fasting do look into it deeper.
I'm still trapped in that loop.but this meassage has inspired and helped me of how to change that habit. God bless you
Amen. Spend time in God's word and pray. Find an accountability partner if needed. It will be tough but will be worth it. All addictions are difficult to escape, but Christ gives us the freedom to escape it.
May God give you the strength to resist
ill pray for u 🙏🙏
what helps me as well with this addiction is what albert einstein said “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.” i just said ok i’m done with this addiction, but the urges never go away, but you must stay disciplined. instead of focusing so much on “oh i’m not gna watch it tonight” or “oh i gotta stop watching this nasty stuff” have your eyes on God, the more you have your eyes above, you won’t be looking down or anywhere else that might distract you from keeping your eyes on God. i pray everyone here that has an addiction like this one is set free, it won’t be easy, but it’ll be so dang worth it when the addiction urges finally fade away and you realize you have freedom through Jesus. i love your videos man, they really motivate me and inspire me to grow my relationship with God🙏🏾
You have no idea how much this helped me I’m going to screenshot this and look at it every night. God bless you.
I'm not addicted, thank the Lord, but I'm still struggling. Thank God He's changing me! He led me to write a book on my testimony, though I'm not fully out of it yet. I didn't understand it at the time, but it helped me and others!
This is my exact story. I was to do it every now and then and the wave of guilt that flooded over me was so immense, that I didn't feel worthy enough to pray to God and didn't even speak to Him because of what I did. That 10 second pleasure wasn't worth the hours/days of guilt and spiritual conviction.
Recently I’ve been super close with God, closest I’ve ever been. But I just did that disgusting thing and I see your video on TikTok - first thing there is when I open it. My heart felt heavy watching this video and now I just feel I need to go all in on God. Thank you for this
Of course. And the crazy thing is God has been waiting all this time and will continue to wait! It’s never too late to turn to Him. God bless ❤
This is the only christian video about porn that connects with God's nature, thank you so much for sharing
Been through this as well, amazing to hear what God has done for many of those who struggled from sins and are now freed! Including me as well. God bless you
I pray for you, my brother in Christ. I too was in a situation very similar to that but God pulled me out of that horrible, dark, bottom-less burning hole. Thank the Lord for everything, he is the reason we are here and the reason we may one day find eternal happiness in his arms.

In christ ur an overcomer!!!✝
Glory be to God 😌😌
We can do all things through Christmas who gives us strength 💪
Thanks Jo,I'll be honest I'm at the every now and then phase and it's a struggle but this video is helpful,this,my family's words and another section of a sermon by a powerful man called Apostle Joshua Selman(You should try some of his sermons they're amazing) remind and confirm that I still haven't truly surrendered everything and submitted to God,it's a daily battle for me but I have great counsellors like in prov 15:22 & prov 20:18 it mentions counsel,progress is being made,and the holy spirit reminded me the other day of how far we've come in the space of a year and everytime I'd mess up he reminds me of Proverbs 24:16 - "For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again,but the wicked shall fall by calamity" ,he reminds me of this whenever the guilt comes as the devil will whisper thoughts into my head whenever I fell but Jesus is greater. Thank you again and sorry for the long read
Thank you for taking the time to share this. It’s a process just like anything else in life. Just know at the end of the day, God’s always got you 🙏🏼❤️
Thanks sibling this helped me 👍
@@madewhole-ev4uy have to help each other as loved ones in Christ,as the one body of Christ,be well sibling🙏🏾
im suffering from it and its too overwhelming for me and there are times that i feeling ashamed to pray and go to church and sometimes im losing hope to overcome this addiction but im still fighting it with God
Great testimony man! My struggle with p*rn is very similar to yours. But I had let it run rampant for a period. And I would let it go without repentence sometimes, I had conviction and shame. But, like you, I would feel to guilty to go to God. I finally said enough is enough and cried out to God to help me with this. Since doing this I have seen a new way of thinking and replacing that time by filling it in scripture and I feel all the more fullfilled. And I know its only the beginnng. God Bless you!
This fr made me cry. I discovered porn at around 8 years old because one of my friends at the time would always talk about something sexual so out of curiosity I went home that night and Googled things. One thing led to another and soon I would be coming back to it from time to time. Because I was still young my mind wasnt really that consumed by it yet. I remember the summer of the year I turned 13 it came back to me. For the next year and a half it was a constant cycle of watching it every day before I went to bed and sometimes even multiple times per day. In april of 2023 my family started going to church but I wasnt really all that tuned in at all. I was physically there but not mentally present at all. As time went on I started to get better but still lukewarm. It wasnt until January of 2024 when one night I felt God there with me. Its hard to explain because I didnt really hear his voice but after a while I knew that thought was from God because of where it took me. God gave me the idea to delete all my old TikTok videos and start fresh. He gave me the idea to start preaching and spreading the Gospel on there. At that time I was growing as a Christian and eventually realized porn was wrong but would still fall into lust sometimes. I would always feel so much guilt after I did it and I felt like there was no way out until one day it all changed. I was tempted, but didnt give in. I was tempted 2 other times the same day but didnt give in. The next day I was tempted and didnt give in, and then it kept going on and on and on. I fell into sinning by masturbation again but not porn, but still a sin. Since then ive been clean and not experienced much lustful thoughts or the thought of watching porn again and even when I got them I was able to easily brush them off my shoulder. I felt like I havent really been experiencing God's presence recently but this video reassured me that He's always there listening. I broke out into tears this made my day. All glory to Jesus Christ who can really change your heart. All you have to do is seek Him. Amen🙏🙏
I sympathize with everything you said, I went through the same thing, and Jesus saved me. I love these videos, they're short, but full of wisdom straight from the word of God, may he bless you abundantly.
This is the video I needed. Thanks.
This is good. God Bless you!
God bless you bro!
Awesome, God bless and thanks!
thanks for sharing man. this motivates me to change.
Thank you :) God loves you - keep doing his work :)
Amen brother thank you for this
It connected with me, I needed it.
Thank you, God bless.
God bless you bro
😢 thank you God is Beautiful.
I was dealing with a lot of guilt and shame today. So much so that I literally looked up testimonies of people who have been set free from pornography by the Lord. Seeing this testimony and all the other people who have either overcame or are still fighting gives me so much hope that I’ve been lacking. I’ve been in a cycle of doing well and going back to porn for almost my entire life, since I was about 11. Im fighting back tears typing this cause I don’t feel alone, I know that there’s hope for someone like me going through this sin cycle. Thanks for posting. God bless everyone who reads this and I pray that the Lord would keep strengthening you to keep fighting and overcome. ❤
Thank you to share that testimony, it help me and was an on time blessing !
Your story is exactly like mines man I resonate with this so much thank you
Congratulations brother, the Lord has done so much for us
I needed this so much today. Thank you and God Bless you🙏❤
God bless you!
Great video love the testimony
Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you for sharing !
I have a porn addiction! It's really hard to stop. I know that I'm a human who sins each and every day, but is forgiven when I ask for forgiveness. 💜 God is good all the time and pure.
W video bro❤. God Bless. btw “you are not your past, you are how you respond to your past” is a great quote that I’ve never heard but I think it’s really good.✝️❤️
I aspire to be as brave and bold as you one day. Thank you for sharing your testimony. God bless. 🙏🏼
Yes God is with you and God your testimony
Glory to God thank you for sharing
You are such an inspiration. All glory to God for strengthening you and giving you wisdom, peace, and courage !
Amen love you brother
Amen ❤️ we do relate brother thanks for sharing
Praise the Lord. I am proud of you❤
god bless you thank you for this
Am inspired to overcome this addiction. This spoke to me🙏
Grreat advice and video man, thanks
That’s very beautiful. What you said is pretty true even for people who aren’t religious. When you have too much free time you’ll just start looking for quick dopamine hits, and as a result you could start a bad habit of always doing that one thing that’ll give you a quick rush.
Hey man AMEN bless your soul 🙏🙏🙌
Powerful and inspiring. That very last part was real and I respect that. It takes true boldness and courage. The bible says the man who covers his sin will not prosper. Honestly the whole addiction thing has to do with the war between the flesh and the spirit. The flesh craves that pleasure, but we must feed the spirit as to not give in to the sinful desires. Keep the faith up my brother. 🙏✝️
Thank you brother
Trapped in that loop, but this message has inspired to talk to god and pray and has inspired to change that sinful habit. God bless you ✝️
Amen brother i struggled with the same sin im free now . Praise God in Jesus name ✝️🙏🏾💯
I FELT THIS HOMIE THANK U I WAS NOT ALONE AND WERE IN END TIMES I LOVE 𝕋ℍ𝔸ℕ𝕂 For u for this 🙏❤️
Thanks so much for sharing. I have honestly struggled with this since i was 14 and still sometimes struggling. Step by step God and i are working on this together. Prayers
Thank you❤
God is so proud of you and he loves you, keep up the good work. May God continue to bless you and give you strength in your walk with him🙏💗✨
thank you, brother
Great testimony, drawing on your experiences which we can all relate and go on with understanding. Well done friend.
Happy I found you
I realized my situation wasn't so different by seeing this video. I know now what to do. Thank you bro.God bless ❤
I appreciate making this video. Coming from a similar background to yours I know what it feels to be in the chains of bondage. To want to cry out in shame, regardless I thank the Lord that he transformed my life and that he continues to work on me day by day. I pray whoever is bound to such addiction may be freed in Jesus name
Thank you brother amen 🙏🏽 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Praise God for this video man. Oh my goodness. This really does bring me so much hope. God bless you, your family abundantly brother. May everyone in this comment section be blessed as well.

I love you Jotivation.

Glory be to God for saving u
this resonates so much with myself,
i love your videos, you inspire me. GOD bless! 🖤
🙏🏼❤️
I love you so much, this has been of great help to me! It is not me that I look up to, it is God who saves me and redeems me back to Him. Thank you for the amazing service of God you are doing. God bless you! Love you!
Brother this was such a powerful testimony I felt the Holy Spirit so strong that I began to weep physically, because I too was addicted to Pornography for on and off 24 years and God just set me free this week, I was so lost but now I've been found in Jesus mighty name amen. God bless you and everyone in the comment section. God loves you and so do I peace be with u all. ❤
I noticed, many of us went through this type of similar thing, around the years of 8 years old!
And often it happens at school!
I remember when I was in elementaire school, 8 years old, we already got introduced to the flowers and the bees, and you know, what condoms are for etc etc, birth control etc!
I remember the whole class felt uncomfortable, me too!
I felt like this was unheard, like, just not ok!
I thought at the years of 16 years old or 17.. That would have been more acceptable!
Soo.. schools are very much to blame too!
Because kids are easily influenced.. and I think it is our job to protect the future kids, to these type of things.. Luckily The Lord has mercy! He knows what is going on, kids cannot fend for themselves..
We had to go through it, but we can break the cycle!
So that this will not happen to future generations!
Let kids keep their innocense until a appropriate age.
Because.. the door to sin.... is easily opened, but hard to shut down..
And kids are vulnerable at those ages.. we really need to protect that 💖
So if we can prevent future generations from sinning, to teach them, school them ourselves..
Than everything can be saved.
We have to keep the Devil out of our Kingdom. And that is to speak up for us and others!
Protect what we can 💖
Thank you for sharing your story! It's courageous!
Thank youuu❤️
Ur so awesome man
Thank you for sharing, this channel really is helpful, like you don't know how much I am grateful for it, Jesus loves all truly.
God bless
Am so happy you're free from porn, am also free as well. May the good Lord continue to use you to encourage others to change
Hallelujah all the glory to Jesus he is worthy of all our praise
Amazing
Thank you God
Thank you brother, this video was amazing. As personally trying to become a content creator and also going through the almost the same exact porn journey I think God is the reason I found this video... your testimony is so similar to mine it's crazy bro.. Hope your having a blessed day
thank you for sharing, GBU
I need Jesus right away. Pray for me, my friends 😢
Thank you.
Thank you
Amennn God Blesss Youuu All Amennn
i was saved a little over month ago and today i felt it in my heart to share it somewhere and thank you for sharing your testimony and experience with us and i wanna thank Jesus again for saving and freeing me from my past and sins
edit : i also learned on my first fast to not lean on my own strength to overcome the things and habits of my past because i have the Lords strength to rely on and ask for to get past those things
I keep falling off the path and I am still trying and every time I ask God for forgiveness, I promise him not to do it again.. and then I do it again and then I don't even feel like praying to God because I keep thinking how can he still want me.. how many times. My shame is taking me away from him.. But I'm still trying
U'll make it,dont give up,one thing you can do that helped me in the past to overcome pornography,is learn from ur mistake,for example if u keep falling its because u're doing something wrong,can be what are u seeing in social media,the kind of conversation you have with people around,watching movies or series that has promiscous parts,find what creates the urge of lust,after u have found it cut it,and pray to God to help you become stronger in ur weakness,and replace this bad habits with good habits that make you close to God,remember it will not be easy even after that,u"ll fall sometimes but you just have to the same things,find what have driven you to watch these ungodly videos,after that learn from ur mistakes.God bless u
@chillasfx3588 thank you for your guidance.. I will try my best to follow it..
Ik I’m a girl but I was once was addicted too. The thing that helped me the most was too create boundaries. Unfollow people and block all provocative photos/ videos that will tempt you. Also put sage search on google or safari so you wont be able to watch porn. Ik it seems extreme but if you lean on God, and fight He will help you through it!!
I relate so much to that shame my spirit hated it so much I would become depressed not able to enjoy much of anything for days at a time.
Kudos to you for being so bold,and sharing your beautiful story. I myself have been a p*rn addict since childhood,have tried to fight it myself and have gotten nowhere. (Btw,why does it seem like this particular sin attacks us men more so than women?? Just curious). I pray and seek God's counsel regarding my sinful habit,but I often find myself falling back into the same sin. It honestly makes me feel like a hypocrite. But as you said in some of your past vids,we are human. We are always going to have trials,but it's how we choose to deal with them that builds us or breaks us. In today's society it is nearly impossible,(from a males pov),to not be tempted sexually. It is ALL around us,and encouraged. Couples living together without being married,our music,our TV shows and movies,our clothes and our language. As the old saying goes "Sex Sells". Only thru the redeeming power of Jesus Christ,can we truly overcome the temptations that are thrown our way. I pray that I continue to go to Him for strength and support. He is The Cornerstone. Pray for me brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank you brother for your videos and encouragement. God is definitely taking you places 📖🙏🏻
Mi historia es muy similar a la tuya, noches tras de cometer el pecado y llorar despues a dios y pedirle perdon y volver a cometerlo la noche siguiente termino separando mi relacion con el, ya nisiquiera pensaba en el o en las mañanas pensaba en orar pero la culpa y el asco que sentia eran grandes en mi, el simple hecho de mirarme al espejo y verme a los ojos me asqueaba y me decia por que, por que entregarme a esos minutos de placer temporales. Mi vida iba en decadencia y todos mis planes y projectos de vida se estancaron o simplemente ya no existieron y el peso de la verguenza era tan grande que ya no queria vivir mas, empece a tener pensamientos suicidas hasta que una noche le dije señor, entrego mi vida a ti y esta adiccion a ti, tu romperas las cadenas y me rescataras con tu manos de amor del pozo de la desesperacion y a si fue, despues el espiritu santo me mostro que tenia que contarselo a mi madre. Ahora ya no tengo las ganas ni pensamientos, mis ojos estan puestos en el y mi corazon en hacer su voluntad y ser un perfume agradable a sus pies y poder estar delante de el de pie en su presencia, y que mi casa y mi familia sus nombres esten en el libro de la vida. Ojala mi testimonio les llegue y les de la fuerza y fe para poder superar cualquier cosa en Dios.
Same here brother 😢 Please pray for me I'm from India
Hello Brother.. I need your help.
I've been a christian my whole life as I grew up from a christian family and now am 19 years old. I've been struggling with porn and lately It's coming back hunting me, tho I pray and cried out for to God to help me out. And I also try to stop but It's so powerful and I feel so ashamed, to the point where am too ashamed to face God. I pray beg for mercy but still continuing doing, It's hard man. I am tired, I feel exhausted and discourage even tho I pray to God, but the temptation was strong, and I can't control myself, Please pray for me🙏🙏🙏🙏😭❤️ I want to be completely be healed, I want to live a life with the lord where I can be free from sin. I tried always to put everything's in jesus hands because I know am not strong enough, but It's still hard battle to fight... So please pray for me brother
Thank you brother, for sharing your testimony. Would you mind if I post your video on my channel to help others overcome their weaknesses? Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can overcome any temptation.
It’s been 10 yrs and I still feel shackled the longest I’ve gone was a year. But the thing is when I try to give myself grace and not beat myself up because of our flesh a little part of me feels like I don’t deserve it. It’s been 10 years and I wonder if I’ll keep having these thoughts and if I’ll ever stop.
Same bro God saved me from my old self😊
