Jordan The bondage began when I was 14 years old. I fell into looking at wrong magazines and wrong pictures on the computer. This greatly damaged my relationship with the Lord because my sinful desire for these things was competing with my love for Him. I tried and tried to live right but I was not able to overcome this secret addiction.

Two years later, in July of 2008, I was able to go on a Journey to the Heart. God spoke to me in a quite but amazing way. He told me that I needed to put my trust in Him and receive His grace instead of putting my trust in myself to be strong enough to overcome temptation. I realized that I needed to renounce the lies that I was believing, such as the lie that "I will never be able to overcome this sin." God showed me what a long-lasting relationship with Him was all about—it is about living in truth and walking by His side!

After renouncing Satan’s lies and openly confessing my sin, I have had a whole new sense of freedom. Now I am seeking God first with all of my heart and not letting the things of this world compete with my love for Christ!
