Testimony: Deliverance Through Jesus Christ
Merrill's testimony "Deliverance Through Jesus Christ" on 5/15/2015, 8:27am...
I married in 1986. I Married a woman who would try to apologize and forgive. Hardness set in and I made a bad choice started looking for love elsewhere. I decided Porn would be the best, because I figured it didn't violate my marriage or Christian religion.The problem is this DID violate my marriage and religion. I made a covenant at baptism to follow God. I then began to live a double life of dishonesty and lust. I became selfish and angry.
The worst part about this addictions is I kept it hidden. It would never kill me but spiritually it would make me a whoremonger and destined for hell. It would block out the sensitive feelings of the spirit.
I began a 12 step recovery program with Jesus Christ as my "higher power". I fought for hope for two years and my hope began to increase. I got a good deserved humbling. In February of 2009 I felt God's incredible healing power come into my life. I felt His love, hope, peace, joy, confidence, and a love for and a desire to serve my fellow man.
I testify without any reservation that GOD IS A GOD OF MIRACLES AND LOVE. His healing power is perfect and generous. I feel like the laborer who came in at noon or later and got full pay. Every desire and hope in me is in the saving power of Jesus Christ.
I have nothing but praise for and trust in those early prophets who wrote of and testified of the healing power of God and the miricale that comes form repentance.
When Christ healed the blind, it was great. But far greater is the healing of a human soul. Truly this event is it the greatest event of my life. Nothing in the world even comes close to the feelings of love and gratitude I have for God.
I now understand why people would sing praises to God forever. I will.
I now have confidence in God as never before and think and fully believe I can live righteously and return to him clean.
