I struggled with addiction to lust and masturbation since I was fourteen. I am now thirty-three.
I hated myself for not being able to control my urges or overcome the addictions. Despite trying everything, I could not break the bondages.
I started listening to Pastor Prince’s messages and experienced some improvement. However, I still struggled with lust. I tried applying and persevering with the advice that Pastor Prince gave through his messages—confessing my righteousness in Christ in the midst of my sin.
However, things only got worse and I was devastated.
I wondered why nothing was working even though I believed in and had experienced the power of His grace numerous times before.
One day, I heard the Lord asking me, “Why are you waiting for the problem to occur before confessing your righteousness?”
All of a sudden, everything made sense. I realized I confessed my righteousness in Christ only when I acted on lustful thoughts the enemy put in my mind.
Since then, every time I saw an attractive woman or had lustful thoughts, I would confess my righteousness in Christ right away.
And immediately, the urge to gratify myself would leave!
Ever since I received this revelation, I have been completely freed from my addictions!
I have no more lustful thoughts and I am not masturbating anymore. I have been truly set free for whom the Son sets free is free indeed!
Thank You, Father, for the revelation of the gospel of grace. Thank you, Pastor Prince, for bringing the good news of the gospel through your preaching.
