“My name is Charmaine from South Africa. I would like to give all glory to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, for Brother Chris’ timely teaching during the Interactive Prayer Service on April 5, 2025. Since December 2024, I found myself increasingly watching videos on YouTube. What initially began as a means of light entertainment following the successful completion of my studies gradually developed into an addiction – consuming, on average, seven hours of my day. This habit began to disrupt various areas of my life. I struggled with insomnia and would often turn to videos in an attempt to fall asleep, only to remain awake throughout the night. Consequently, my work, studies, and, most importantly, my prayer life began to suffer. In recent weeks, I also became aware that my worldview was subtly but steadily being shaped negatively by the content.
“I thank God for His mercy and for the conviction that came through the teaching titled, ‘The Trap Of Distraction’. I earnestly prayed for His help, and I have experienced a remarkable change since that day. I have been able to sleep peacefully, and my video consumption has significantly decreased. By God’s grace, I now focus only on spiritually edifying or educational content. I encourage fellow believers to remain sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit, who is our teacher and guide. By doing so, we will be better equipped to recognise and avoid the subtle things that can lead us away from God. To God be all the glory!”
