“Grace and peace to you all. My name is Werner and I am from Namibia. I would like to testify to the greatness, mercy, and goodness of our God. My testimony goes as follows: Since childhood, I was addicted to watching pornography and masturbation. I was so addicted to it that if I went to the toilet or if I was alone at home, I would be masturbating 5–6 times a day. As a result of this addiction, my academic performance at school dropped; I was always having lustful thoughts, doubt, and discouragement. I then decided to give my life to Christ at a young age; however, I thought that this addiction would stop, but it became even worse than before. My pastors, elders, and deacons rebuked me about this addiction, but I only stopped for a week, or two weeks, or even two days, and then found myself back to watching pornography and masturbation again. This drained my spiritual life as I would compare myself to other church members or friends; I did not feel the Holy Spirit and fire of God the people were preaching about in church. And despite the fact that I was the keyboardist in the church, I was still suffering from this addiction. I would even find myself masturbating on a Sunday after a Spirit-filled service. My academic performance at the university started to drop due to this addiction.
“But Our Lord Jesus Christ always has a plan for us. In the middle of my first year at the university – this was in 2023 – my deacon in our church introduced me to God’s Heart TV. I sent a prayer request and was invited to the prayer. I joined the prayer and I was prayed for. However, after some months, I started watching pornography and masturbation again. After that incident, the devil put thoughts in my mind and told me that God would not deliver me from this addiction and that there was no hope for me. My spiritual and academic performance was dropping. I then went to my deacon and confessed my sins and told him everything. He then advised me again to send a prayer request to God’s Heart TV. I was invited again to the prayer. I joined through YouTube and this time, I truly believed that God would deliver me from this addiction. I did not feel anything during the prayer, but kept on believing that God would deliver me this time.
“Indeed, children of God, I was delivered from this addiction. Since joining that prayer, I am no longer having the urge to watch pornography and to masturbate. My spiritual life started to grow as I began to encounter the Holy Spirit in my daily life, both spiritually and physically. My academic performance increased from only a pass to getting distinctions. My advice and encouragement to the people that are going through a similar addiction as mine is to trust in God as He has His own time for everyone’s deliverance, and one must not stop seeking help from Jesus. I thank our Lord Almighty for His vessels Brother Chris and the God’s Heart TV team for allowing themselves to be used by God. May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you abundantly, both spiritually and physically.”
