This is my testimony, I have been encouraged to share it with people and have decided to share it with anyone who reads my blog.
My name is Rebecca, I had been living in bondage to sexual sin, by self-gratifying, for 18 years. It started when I was just 6 years old, at first I didn't know what I was doing, but I knew that it was wrong. As I got older I tried to break free, but nothing I did worked. I started viewing pornography when I was 18, and from there things just kept getting worse. Even though I had been a Christian since I was 5 years old, I was getting further and further away from God, and it was all because of the sin that I was a slave to. Earlier this year I came across the The Way of Purity bible studies through Setting Captives Free, and I decided to enroll in the 60 day lessons. These bible studies have helped me break free from my sexual sin. Without God I would still be living in bondage to sexual sin. I have now been free for just over 2 months! And I have the Lord to thank for that! He has shown me grace and mercy, and has set me free! I am now living to glorify His name!
I just want to take a moment to thank everyone who has been involved with helping me come to freedom.
Thank you Pat Gause for being my mentor during the last few months, you have been a huge help! Thank you so much for praying for me, and supporting me. I really enjoy your emails!
Thank you Jessica Brewster for being my accountability partner. Without you I wouldn't have really known where to go when I needed someone to talk to! Thank you also, for praying for me during this time, please continue to do so. Thanks!
I also want to thank my Mother! Mom, I know I didn't tell you until near the end of the course, and even then I didn't really tell you, you just found out accidentally, but I want to thank you for being so supportive. I really do believe that it was God that showed you that note, because He knew how much I wanted to tell you but I didn't have the courage to do it on my own.
I want to thank anyone else who has helped me along the way, sorry if I didn't mention any of you by name but you know who you are.
I thank God for everything He has done! Without Him none of this would have been possible! Thank you God for showing me mercy and pouring your grace over me! Amen.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.
This is a painting that I did quite a while ago, but I think it has so much more meaning to me now!
It is called "New Creation"
