I'm Isaac Snuffer, 15, and here is the story of how God has changed my life completely.
I was raised in a Christian home, attending a church where God moved greatly as young as 2, and saw God move all the time. During this time I gave my life to Christ, but did not fully understand the power of God nor even who he was. All I knew was the basics of the faith taught in the nursery classes at churches.
Now skipping on, about the time I got into sixth grade, about the time I was 11, because of peer presure I started to get into pornography and masturbation, getting worse as time went on, not acually knowing that these things were sinful at the time. This was about 2003. The next year I got in with a bit of a worse crowd. For about a year I was fine, but starting about summer 2005 I started swearing, and listening to somewhat Satanic music. Also about this time depression hit me. I started to hate my life, wishing it would end. I was ready for suicide. Then in winter 2005 I started skateboarding, as a release for all of my
feelings of depression. This worked for about half a year, about mid-spring 2006. About this time it started coming back, yet I didn't want to just end it all.
Though I hated life I had something in me telling me not to end it, a fear of death, which I know now was God
watching out for me even though I was against him. So about that summer I started looking up ways to get high. I wanted an escape from the pain I felt inside. So in November 2006 I tried to get high for the first time, taking Diphenhydramine HCL(an OTC medicine which I will not mention the brand name incase of someone wanting drugs reads this). It wasn't all that good, but I needed to get rid of the pain, so I continued to take it in low doses, until one Sun. night in Nov. I decided to take some until I really got an effect. I ended up taking 18 times the reccommended dose, and in this started hallucina

Living a clean and healthy life free from drugs and porn
I too have suffered from addictions to both drugs and porn. I found myself going down the wrong path away from everything I knew to be good and right. The harder I tried to pull myself out of this vicious cycle the farther away I found myself from being on the right path. The drugs and pornography were ruining my life and I wasn't able to be happy. I was more and more isolated from the general public and looked down upon by my friends, family and community. I needed answers and I needed happiness. I had to regain control of my life again. I found my salvation in Narconon Vista Bay. I was able to cure myself of my wrong doings and pursue a life that was more in tune with what is right and moral.
Deliverance from porn and masturbation
I shared a similar experience with addiction to porn and masturbation. I got drunk with the filth from lewd movies, books and at one point I found myself fantasising about lesbian activities. It got worse and worse, i felt totally cut off from God. I became angry, depressed, suicidal..you name it.
The Lord spoke to my heart and i realised how deep I had sunk, and I wasn't sure if it was possible for God to love me anymore. I wept and prayed, cried out for mercy! God's spirit set me free and I was moved to get rid of all the garbage i has accumulated. I threw out the books, movies, sex toys..everything.
Praise God today I am free. The temptation is there but God's grace has kept me. He can deliver you. Just profess that you denounce and renounce every sexual immorality in the name of Jesus. Declare that God's grace has the power to break every chain and enemy stronghold in your life in the name of Jesus. I pray that the healing, saving power of Jesus will set someone free this day, amen.
read your posting on
read your posting on christian-faith.com i am currently struggling from an addiction to pornography and masturbation. i have prayed several times for God to deliver me. but it seems as though i keep going back to it. My story is similar to yours, it all started with what I saw, then it grew from there. I fell so guilty and i hate myself after I look at it and masturbate. I love God soooo much and I do believe that he wants to deliver me. I get frustrated because no matter how much a pray or fast it seems that i cant break the addiction. I want to the desire to go away!!!!!! I hate myself after I do it and i have been at the point several times that i am o ashamed that I want to kill myself or just give up on God and ever being delivered but the voice that lives within me tells me not to give up there is a break through waiting on me. i just need to press in a get it. You are the only person on this earth that I have told this to. no one else knows!! im telling you because i want you to be the one who stands in the gap for me. i want you to keep me in your prayers because I iknow that you inderstand were I am coming from. please respond to me as soon as you get the chance... Thank you soooooo much for telling your story. i appreciate it !!
God Bless you,
Kim
Hey Kim, I understand your
Hey Kim,
I understand your pain. The enemy causes us to feel guilty of our mistakes. I too was caught up with this. It was taught to me at a young age by my father, who was and is a christian. I do not blame him, but I did not know, so i lived w/ this addiction from age of 9 to 27. It turned into a habit. It was like a outlet. Perhaps there may be a deeper issues in your life of why you fell into this sin. We as christians must remember that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. We must def. repent(in heart) and turn away. I am taught that what we bind on earth is bound in heaven and what we loose on earth is loosed in heaven(matthew 16:9) Now what you do is read this to build up you spirit man. Then you bind the spirit of masturbation and porn and loose temperance, faith and thank God and believe/ know that He has healed you. By His stripes it is done in Jesus name.
Greater is He that is in you, then he that he that is in the world. The enemy is condemned already. He want you to feel the same way. You know the saying, misery love company. He is really miserable. Keep your strength and do not become weary in well doing. Stay strong. You should ask for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. He is our comforter. He will direct you. You yoke has been broken in Jesus name. Recieve this freedom.
Sincerly,
kings son
That is so awsome. God is
That is so awsome. God is great, and I am sure he has something very special for you to do for Him.
