Washed Clean by the Blood of Jesus Christ
How Jesus Christ Saved my Life.
Matthew 26:28 - For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins
I was born in Phoenix Arizona March 25th 1980. Living in a broken home with very little hope. At the age of 16 I started using drugs and alcohol as a way to escape my life. Growing up in a Catholic backround was a sure ticket into heaven. I was wrong!
I knew that I had faith as a child and was raised with knowing who Jesus Christ was. I never knew the entire story of how great He is and what he did.
living in bars and drinking myself into oblivion was my routine. Soon after I was able to get into the bars legally, I knew that I had a destiny. I never knew it at that time that my destiny was procrastinated due to my irresponsible behavior and poor choices.
I morphed into the entertainment industry, and was swooped up by the devices of "the enemy". I thrusted into this business with a passion to be someone else other than myself. Having an alter ego or as it would be known. I was living a "Double minded" life and was stagnant in my alcohol and wickedness.
Eventually I got sucked into the demonic side of "Porn". I thought it was normal and accepted it. Eventually I started to put "Porn" ahead of my family, friends, and ultimately my entire life.
BREAKING POINT
I knew I had a problem and realized that I engulfed myself in such a discusting demonic habit that almost killed me. You may say " it's normal everyone does it" I couldn't stop and something took over me every time I engaged in the triggers that had become second nature to my existence.
I didn't want to say anything to anyone for the fear of humiliation. Mostly that my deepest darkest secret would be exposed. Eventually exhausted by life and its relentless beat downs I gave up.
On August 1st 2016 I said the sinners prayer in attempts to give Jesus Christ a try. I threw everything out in a garbage bag. I said to God show me what you can do for me "I give up". That night I went to sleep feeling empty and beyond exhausted.
At 10:30 p.m. I rose from my bed with a feeling of a presence within my bedroom. If I knew what was going to happen next, I would have changed my life eons ago. I heard a voice say to me over and over "Do not fear I am always with you". First I thought I was crazy. Then in that moment Jesus spoke to me and said "it is time". My first initial reaction was " I finally lost it"! The lord said to me " Jeremy you have been living unholy and I cannot come to unholiness".
Jesus said " it is time, I am coming for my people! You need to warn everyone of what is to come" the lord allowed me to rest for a moment. I layed on my back and felt Gods hand pluck something from my chest" I heard an audible voice Say my name "Jeremy" get up and get dressed. Naturally I did what I was told and went to sleep.
i didn't realize at that time, God was testing my obedience and naturally I did what I was told.
3 days later I had a Dream where I was in a bar, and sitting across from me at a pool table was Satan himself. He looked like a Normal man with a menacing expression. He leaned towards me and said " you think Jesus will save you"? Very boldly I leaned in and said "absolutely"!
Throughout this -short- journey I have repented and turned from my life completely. No more Secular T.V., secular music, no porn! (Praise Jesus!). My ultimate choice has been to be Celibate. When Jesus freed me from my porn addiction I knew in that moment it was by his hand!
no counselor, psychiatrist, friend or family member could break the chains I had for so long. Today I live for Jesus and will never go back to that life of wickedness. I am truly free from Satans demonic grip of "Porn".
I hope this story has encouraged you. If you have an addiction and can't seem to get over it. Give Jesus a try, I did and I have never felt more free. If you want to give your life to Jesus please read the script below. God bless and thank you for listening to my testimony!
