I’m 34 years old, and I battled with pornography, masturbation, and drug addiction since I was 16. I hated myself and didn’t know how to change. I was raised in religion and told I had to keep the law to be right with God, but it only condemned me.

One day on television, you were talking about how our sins add up to about a million dollars, but when Jesus died, it was like He paid 10 billion dollars. When you said that, it shook every cell in my body.

In 2023, I got desperate and told God I was either going to blow my brains out or find Him, and I started seeking Him with everything in me. He started showing up, changing me, opening my eyes to the Word.

One time, when I was overwhelmed with my addictions and hating myself, He spoke to me and said, “If you had a son who was addicted to something, would you slap him in the face? Would you beat him up and throw him outside?” And I said, “No.” Then He said, “Well, why do you expect Me to be like that?” And I said, “Whoa, I didn’t know that. I only knew what everybody else says, but now I know what You say.”

I was at work one day, about to watch porn, and I heard an audible voice that said, “I’m still going to be right here when you get done because you can’t change Me.” The love that came with those words set me free.

Jesus really did remove our sin. And the more we spend time with Him and get to know His heart, His voice, and His love, the more we change on the inside, so our actions can be right. I realized that God had been seeking me and speaking to me my whole life, and yet I always felt so far away because of my addictions. But that was all a lie from hell and religion.

Pastor Prince, thank you for the truth of your message. If I had not heard you say the things you said, I doubt my eyes would have been opened in the Word to see it the way it was meant to be seen.
