  • I have been struggling with pornography ever since I was 8 years old. No I was never sexually abused growing up. Rather, I was exposed to pornography when I found my father’s collection in our home. I’m 31 soon to be 32 and I still struggle with it. I have never been able to have long lasting romantic relationships because of this. I’ve never told anyone this but I feel the need to confess. I pray that if someone reads this May you please pray for me. May we touch and agree so God can hear our prayers. Amen 🙏🏾 ❤

    I started doing drugs 20 years ago as a teenage. Got addicted to cocaine. Spent my whole life fighting cocaine addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Cocaine addiction actually destroyed my life. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

  • God delivered me from four major addictions in my life. These were overnight healings. First in my 30's it was cocaine it so bad I would wake up with basket ball size blood stains on my pillow. I got real with God and He heard my cry. In my 40's it was meth it was so bad I got addicted to porn and I have only 8 teeth left. I got real with God and He heard my cry. In my 50's and 60's it was alcohol and it was the worst of all, doing shot's of vodka by 8 am every day. I fell down concrete steps and cracked my head open. Taken to the ER the CT scan showed my brain floating in alcohol which explained why every time I turned my head the world kept on spinning. I got real with God and He heard my cry. That was 1,745 days ago. The devil has been trying to kill me my whole life. All four addictions were taken from me over night and now I live for God because evidently He has a plan for me. When you get real with God He gets real with you and will deliver you from ALL your trouble. All four addictions I woke up the next day as if I had never done those things and that is miracle transforming power. Thank you Lord for saving me I owe you everything I have left in life. If you seek deliverance from the devil's arrows get real with God and He will listen to your cry. God bless and enjoy the day 🙏🙌💕

    I agree with everything he is saying. I started at the beginning of the year to read the whole bible, and completely stop all worldy things. God has kept me free from pornography, masturbation, and sex out of marriage for 6 months now, I haven't had the urges anymore. God has been working with me in the case of food addiction, and I've lost 38 lbs since. I've never been this happy in my life. The power of God is real!!!!!
