    That’s a fantastic testimony Amanda! Sexual addictions are just as real as any other addiction is. My addiction and recovery from masturbation is very similar to yours. I used to drink and then do it. The physical cravings were in my taste buds if that makes any sense. The night He delivered me from the cravings I spent hours fighting it, but then gave in. Afterwards I cried out to Jesus in anger at myself and despair in my heart for Him to take this from me. He did! The cravings never returned. Did I sometimes give into the thought of masturbating. Unfortunately I did, but each time I was convinced of it and reminded of what He freed me from. Now the thoughts of doing that seem childish to me. I really have no interest in doing that anymore. My relationship with God and ministry is far more important than temporary pleasures. For the guilt and shame last far longer than the moment of pleasure does. I shared your testimony on several social media sites in hopes that it reaches others in their time of struggle.
    Thank you sister for your obedience to the Holy Spirit by sharing your testimony.

And that’s the reason why I’m a priest. Because Christ matters and takes us out of hell and gives us new life. Thanks for saying yes to the Church. It’s people and stories like yours that make me a better priest. God bless you. Fr. Costa.

      @dfkuz Рік тому +2

      Dear Renan, Did you notice at all that Amanda never ONCE said the name, Jesus Christ? I think even a Catholic priest would gently point out that it is impossible to even know God apart from having a relationship with his Son who died for us so that by faith in him we can have eternal life kept safely in him by his faith! John 14:6: “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
      My uncle was a Very Right Reverend Monsignor (Sylvester Van Berkel, Wisconsin), who very likely went to a Christ-less eternal nothingness when he died because he never truly trusted Jesus Christ - he trusted the Roman Catholic Church. I hope that you will not make the same fatal error and that you have placed your faith completely in the Son of God and not any in anyone or anything else but Jesus Christ! (I realize that you did mention Christ in your comment and I do thank you for that!)

    • @ArnieHensman

      That’s a strange comment Deborah about this brave testimony that’s obviously inspired by the Holy Spirit.
      A new Christian shouldn’t be expected to speak like a seasoned theologian. She has done an excellent job explaining her walk with Christ. Especially the discernment about knowing to avoid ‘new age’ ideas.
      Good for you Amanda and Fr.Renan. God Bless, from Ireland.
      [edit: btw Deborah. ‘Jesus’ is said several times in the video]

      @@ArnieHensman Thank you for that correction and I do see now that the name of the Lord Jesus is mentioned, so I apologize to all for making that assumption without listening to the whole thing again. I guess what I was disappointed about was that the actual need for a person to place their faith completely in Jesus Christ for their salvation was not made as clear as it needs to be for those yet unsaved. I'm also wondering why I complained about that to a Catholic priest when I know from personal experience from having grown up in a Catholic household with an uncle that was a priest, that Catholic clergy are not taught the true gospel of salvation which is salvation by grace through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone, because the Catholic Church has a system of works and sacrament observance which they believe provides the graces necessary to achieve the right to spend the afterlife in a place called "heaven," unless there is some sin that hadn't been properly taken care of by going to Confession and doing Penance, then the soul might have to do some time in Purgatory, which I believe isn't too far from the place called, "Limbo," where unfortunate, unbaptized babies end up (and I always hoped it wasn't too bad there because both my mom and my sister each lost a baby). Just the fact that Amanda has decided to remain enmeshed in a religion with a lot of occult trappings from the ancient mystery religions such as Mithra and Dagon worship is disturbing enough.

      @@dfkuz I appreciate your concern and I wish you expressed it to me privately(My contact information is in on my channel)
      As Christians in general regardless of our denomination our goal is to get unbelievers to Jesus and this is doing the opposite unfortunately.
      I don’t know about yourself but every time I used to see a Christian-based video and I see Christians arguing in the comment section it does not make me as an unbeliever want to join that community. Why if I’m just going to be criticized right?
      It’s good to correct people yes I agree but do it privately sister. The only reason why I am not right now because I do hope others can see this. For the sole reason that we as a community do not continue to do this as I personally don’t think it’s healthy for the mission we’re all on. (To bring unbelievers to Jesus Christ)

    I recently had the same experience of deliverance. I had a heavy porn addiction for about 6 years, trying multiple times to quit but the urges were way to overwhelming and I couldn't go more than a day without it. One night about 3 months ago I felt conviction for the way I was living my life and literally cried out to God to intervene because I couldn't do it by myself. The next morning I had no desire for porn and it's been 3 months without any real temptation at all! I too know that God helped me because I had tried so many times to change things on my own but couldn't barely get through one day! He also removed my addiction to Marijuana which I've had no desire to smoke, after heavy use for about 6 years also. There's still more work I need to do, but God delivered me from those 2 things and restored our relationship so I can keep moving forward. Cry out to God and he will answer you!

    Your honesty and courage in that testimony were inspiring. I can relate a lot to your testimony. I also grew up going to Catholic school but didn't know Jesus due to ignorance and worldly things. I am at the beginning of a journey to leave behind past addictions and walk with God instead of the world. I have actually left my life in London behind and am right now in the English countryside to make sure I can form a strong relationship with God before I carry on with my life again. The positive impact it has on other people with the same issues when people share in such a brutally honest way can't be understated; nothing is worth more than your eternal soul. Thank you for sharing it.

    Right now, my addiction is Kratom, but I have struggled with going to massage parlors for over 2 decades. Being married and all, I pray that God will forgive me and help me recover. All I know how to do, is surrender daily to him, and pray for faith of salvation and not fear of judgement. I am not Catholic, but protestant. (Actually SDA)

    Dear sister you're so brave to share and it's so encouraging because so many people struggle with addiction and are desperate to get free! You'd like Todd White's testimony too and Dan Mohler sermon called love and forgiveness (has a picture of a heart on the video).

    My beloved sister... I had a very similar experience. Addicted to porn for almost 20 years. Total, inescapable addiction. Led to depression and poison spreading in all aspects of my life. Slowly started to hear God calling me, in my case the Blessed Mother was instrumental. I had a full blown encounter with God by walking into a chapel where the Blessed Sacrament was exposed. I was completely surrounded by love, it blew my mind. I cried, and hadn't cried for literally decades. Found myself lining up for Confession. And that Confession was life changing. I was filled with grace. The prodigal son returned and my Father opened His arms to me. I went to Communion that very morning, and again, was completely immersed in love. From that day, porn was no longer a compulsion for me. From that day, the burden was lifted. It was a complete miracle. It has been almost 2 years now and I have been free of it... daily mass and daily rosary... and... still free. God bless you and thak you for this video!

    Dear Amanda, I have no words to thank you for this testimony, you have really edified me…I am a priest in the north of Italy in Ferrara and I know so many people struggling with these kind of addictions; only the Holy Spirit can set us free from the chains of Satan and from our nature always in need of something.
    The enemy is always there ready to make us believe that God is not the answer of our problems…in fact He is our strength to overcome all difficulties. Thank you so much for the testimony and if I have your permission I will use your story as many others during sermons to help people in need. Good bless you Amanda and I will keep you in my prayers and please do the same for me. Ciao

    I’ve had a similar thing on a small scale, I am stuck at home for a great deal of time with an autistic child. I had got so bad with boredom eating. I’ve tried of my own will to stop but I couldn’t. So only like a week or so ago I asked God to help with this and said I wanted to reduce something for him. Keep seeing people do all this fasting but I’m no where near able to do that yet. So I just asked to help me miss lunch and also stop all the snacking. Literally I started that day and have no food cravings out of boredom. It’s crazy, just gone 😊

    What a beautiful testimony and (believe it or not) very similar to me as an Australian dude growing up in the 80s! Catholic family, all boys school, porn presented as a way to educate yourself in the unknown, protestant friends inviting me to their church where I was struck by something different (people with the Spirit).
    And the "sex before marriage is an older generation thing" was the SAME LIE we told ourselves in the 80s! I was able to stay pure and wait until marriage but I wasn't blessed/cursed with your level of physical beauty so it may have been easier for me. I thought you were college student aged and did a spit-take when you said "I didn't read the bible until my 30s"! Thanks for opening up about this, it was very encouraging and will help others in the same struggles.

    Thank you for sharing. I am in agreement with everything you have shared. The addiction I could not break was to alcohol and ciggerettes. Gone now when I the Holy Spirit brought it to my realisation, that every time I went for a period without getting drunk, I was saying , "Yes I can do it!" It was still about the strength of MY will, and the pride that came with that. When I knew only Jesus could save me, my addictions left.
    All glory goes to our Father God always, in the name of Jesus Christ. His name is all powerful. He is the key to the truth and real freedom. I thank my inner HOLY Spirit Man for His everlasting guidance in all things. Amen. God is ALL good! Our Father really does turn bad in to good every time!! Be patient and humble. Only Jesus Christ can do it. I can do NOTHING on my own.
