“My name is Ruth from Zambia. For the last 11 years, I have suffered from an addiction to pornography, masturbation, and lust. From a tender age, I started watching pornography and masturbating. I tried so many times to stop, but each time I tried, I could not even abstain for a week before I was back at it again. It affected me so much that, during those 11 years, I lost myself; I was never confident, and my relationship with the Holy Spirit was non-existent. I simply was not feeling like myself. I came across a testimony on God’s Heart TV where a young man was delivered from the same addiction, so I made up my mind that I would also seek God and be delivered. That day, I sent a prayer request and, to my surprise, I was accepted to join the Interactive Prayer Service on January 3, 2026.
During the service I prayed with Brother Chris. At the time, I was in a relationship with a man with whom I used to fornicate and engage in other sinful things. As the days went by, I started reading God’s Word, and deep down, I knew I wanted the Lord and nothing else. All of this occurred while our university was closed. When we reopened, I found myself backsliding. This time, however, my conscience would not let me be; it bothered me so much that I wrote a prayer request to God’s Heart TV so they could help me with the situation, as I did not want to be doing that anymore. I remember crying so hard while writing that prayer request. To my surprise, a few days later, I ended that relationship. Even though it was a process, God helped me through it. Not only that, but it has been a month now and the appetite for watching pornography and masturbating is gone. To my amazement, the urge to listen to secular music has also vanished. Honestly, I am completely delivered. I am just amazed because it has been 11 years, and Jesus Christ delivered me. What an awesome God He is!
Previously, I would find myself masturbating in my sleep without my knowledge. Now, if I feel it starting at night, I do not know how it happens, but I simply find myself rebuking the devil and using Scripture to overcome. Right now, I am confident because, whatever I do, I know Jesus Christ loves me and the Holy Spirit is always there with me. At times the devil tries to tempt me, but I always use God’s Word to overcome, and I always succeed. I am delivered and healed in the name of Jesus Christ. I am now free, and there is peace within my soul. I have vowed that I will not enter a relationship with a man who does not have a relationship with God or who fornicates. I am patiently waiting on the Lord, and I will surely come back with another testimony. Glory be to God!”
