I greatly respect Christians who are transparent about their past or present struggles. Thank you, brother Allen for opening up about this. Something that the enemy tries to do is convince you that you're worse than anybody else; that your sin is a diamond-dozen. And that judgment gives us great shame that keeps us hiding it in the darkness. That's (at least) my experience, however.
I absolutely agree with you. But also in brother Allen’s case and even in my own, the enemy can even convince us that our sin is not as bad or even better than someone else’s sin.
Almost like a self righteous “my sin is not as bad as your sin” view. That’s the view my ex fiancée and I had when we were trying to be “pure” but still get our sexual needs met.
Thank Jesus for His sacrifice and the conviction that comes from reading His Word ❤️💯
@BCDC123 While I've rarely experienced that, I'm the opposite. Whenever I do something wrong or even come short of my own expectations, I judge myself too harshly. People have told me I'm too hard on myself. Two years ago, I ruined a genuinely great friendship. She was the most loyal friend you could ask for. At the same time, I had a coworker "friend" who'd asked me for money & groceries. I felt so guilt-ridden by what I did that I believed allowing myself to be used by her was a suitable punishment until I stopped feeling ashamed.
@@cordovanhobbyist895 Oh, I see. Both cases are examples of why it’s important to put on the full Armor of God and keep it on.
We don’t have to be ashamed, just continue to trust in the Lord. Our sins are paid for no matter what we’ve done. Let’s just walk in victory with Christ first so He can continue to transform us into better men.
@@BCDC123 the enemy will definitely play mind games, for example when you start (or just before you start) sinning the devil says it isn't that bad and when you get into ithe whispers in your ears that's awful the Lord would never have you back after what you have done.
True 🙏💯
I’m so glad that an esteemed person of God is addressing this topic. I was a virgin until age 20, (college peer pressure got to me), then went celibate off and on for years. But this video really hit home for me. If I’m being honest, I wasn’t truly practicing sexual purity during my celibacy. Through this video, God has convicted me to abandon any and all forms of sexual temptation in my time of singleness. Amen 🙏🏾
Amen Pastor Allen! I’m in my early 30’s and I still struggle with sexual lust. I’ve been a Christian for 14 yrs now and have been addicted to porn for 11 years (before I got born again I was watching it then stopped for 3yrs) I need help and prayers. Thanx 4 the encouraging video.
Oh wow brother (I'm assuming) that's awful, I got unhooked from it by falling on my face daily and as I failed actually and the spirit showed me to completely stop I needed to drop porn (which was impossible for me) and in my weakness he helped to show me that the easiest way for me was to end actual porn porn and then to fill up the lust that my body was literally craving (worse than any hunger pains I've ever had) with the internet's stories and it helped for awhile but I still felt dirty but my mind wasn't craving it as much, I struggled much on my own (my wife could not handle it) and after many failures and hearing the devil say you're never going to get the victory over this one many times I reached a point to where I had had enough and reached deep inside of myself denied my flesh took up my cross and followed Jesus, it was the very hardest thing I've ever had to do (and I've had many trials in my life) but through the power of the spirit I got the victory in weeks I went from actual porn to no porn whatsoever and all of this several weeks after I had decided to leave Christ altogether but he chased me down, I know that he loved me too much to let me go, 'the devil gave me just enough rope to hang myself but the Lord cut me down in time even though the devil had hung me over a bridge and it was extremely painful to be pulled back over the bridge'
Amen man. I was celibate for 3 and a half before I fell back into sexual sin. It’s now been a year and a half since so if possible, keep a brother in prayers. All of us who struggle with this🙏🏾
Prayers up!
Prayers.
Self castrated for life and thanking the lord!!!!!!
How did you manage during those times?
@@mrshmuga9 I definitely didn’t do it perfectly, but what did keep me steady was focusing on who Christ was and who I am in Him. My new identity hates sexual sin (masturbation, sex outside of marriage etc..). It’s a wrestle, but you can do it through Christ. Also true brothers (as a man) in the faith that will keep you accountable 🙏🏾
Sorry I’m late responding 🙏🏾
Thank you so much Allen, this has humbled my heart because I was celibate for the same reason as you. Please pray for me y'all that I will continue to stay committed to pleasing God and not my flesh🙏🏾💞
Prayers up!
Self castrated for life and thanking the lord!!!!!! Anyone also dying to be like this.
I appreciate you describing the difference between celibacy and being sexually pure while advising us to check our motives for being celibate and/or sexually pure.
Thanks for your transparency and vulnerability
Thanks! I was virgin until my 21st birthday until I got out of prison then got married three times due to justifying my desires out of control (lust). Now I'm the Bride of Christ who hates divorce. Thks Allen Parr for sharing your heart.
Thanks for sharing Allen! I'd like to add to this my own testimony to let ppl who are struggling know that there IS HELP AVAILABLE and the Biblical Way to get Victory over this struggle.
My story was a little similar to Allen's. I did not grow up in a Christian home but my parents were fairly old school values, both having been born in the 40s. I got saved at the age of 16 and started going to church for the first time. In my HS years I was outspoken about my virginity. There was a cool Christian t-shirt my friend had that said 25 reasons why I'm Not Doing It (sex). I barrowed it a cpl times and wore it to school, for which he was amazed at my courage to do so. But I had already been exposed to pornography that my dad had hidden away in his closet and I struggled occasionally with watching it and masterbating (this was before the internet, aka the dark ages).
That struggle got worse when the internet did come out a cpl years after HS. And because of my upbringing I didn't know how to ask for help. That struggle grew into a burning rage that finally consumed me at the age of 25 when I lost my virginity to a prostitute. I had no game when it came to picking up women which is why I went that direction. Now here is the first lesson of this story: Giving Into Sexual Acts does Not Release the Desire, it Increases It! The voice inside you (which would be The Enemy BTW) will say just get it over with, go do it so you can stop thinking about it all the time. But I'm here to tell you having sex makes you want it even more, it feeds the craving.
James 1:14-15 ESV
But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. [15] Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.
Over the next 20+ years I struggled back and forth with this until I gave up hope of ever getting free and stopped fighting. I became a full on sex addict. Now I can't tell you how many women I had sex with over the years, I never kept count. But I do know its definitely in the Tripple Digits.
But I'm here to tell you There Is Hope and Freedom!! Over those years I thought I'd tried everything to get free. I prayed, I spent time in the Word, I even started praying 3 times a day and fasting Lunch to spend that time crying out for freedom from sin. And yes I did talk to a small number of others asking for prayer. But none of this ever helped, and I thought I was hopeless and the battle was lost.
But a few years ago God called me out to come back to His plan for my life (cliff notes version). And I was finally willing to do anything to find freedom. So I spoke with my pastor about it, and didn't hold back on the details or severity of my addiction. He told me that the best success the Church was finding was in open share groups, and gave me a cpl ministry's in the area I could reach out to. When I joined one and began attending and sharing openly I discovered a truth I was missing all those years.
1 John 1:7 ESV
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
Walking in the Light is the path to freedom. It means to talk ope ly with others about our struggles and temptations. As soon as I began doing so I found a freedom I hadn't known in 25 years of searching. The raging was drained out, the power the enemy had over me was diminished so that I was able to stand against it again. I've been celebate for 5 years now. And while I can't claim to be 100% sexually pure in that time, it's no longer something that controls my life. Now it's just something I occasionally fall to and quickly turn and repent from. And the gaps between falling are getting further and further apart.
Whatever your struggling with, if you keep it hidden out of shame it will never get better, only worse. To quote my pastor "anything you can't say owns you". Meaning if you have something in your life you're afraid of talking about or afraid people will learn about you then that thing has power over you, you've given it control over you. Freedom comes from walking in the light in fellowship with others. If you don't know how to find such a group of Christians then talk to your pastor. If your church doesn't have such a ministry then he's likely to know of other ministries in your area you can reach out to.
Feel free to comment with any questions, I'm happy to share or even DM if you'd like to talk.
Thankyou for sharing.
This is so true. Walking in the light.
Wow that is the power of testimony.
I thank you so much for sharing it, you really helped me.
Wow! I'm glad that you are trying to make an effort to choose God over sin! Thank you for sharing your testimony, I will be praying for you! 👏✝️
I have been celibate since 2018, and the Lord used a pregnancy scare to really get me off that track. But I was certainly not sexually pure. Over years I would relieve myself 2 or 3 times a week, but this last year He has given me growth. Now, I have only gone a couple months without a release, but the last few months have been some of the hardest months I have ever experienced faith wise because of the new change. I long so so so bad for the day I no longer need to be celibate, and I think the Lord recently has shown me that I idolize my wedding night. But everyday (maybe even every hour), I find myself needing the reminder "Jehovah-Jireh", "the Lord will provide". Whether it be relief from temptation, or a wife; whether it be tomorrow, or a year, the Lord will provide. Meditate on who He is daily, and worship Him regardless; this is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; He hears our prayers and provides. Psalm 25:3a
Dude thank you for being so transparent about this! As an unmarried man, this is something that I struggle with. And I will until I'm married, every day is a fight. So it's nice to know that I'm not alone, but also to see that there is victory and purity as possible
You’re not alone. I’m an unmarried woman, which some would say the struggle is different, but it’s still a struggle with the flesh. I’m still waiting on God to supply the Ephesians 5 man I have been praying for. In the interim, I’m staying faithful to God and His Word.
@@gwenncoath8941 amen!!!
If the Church as a whole were this forthcoming and transparent with confessing to one another, it would help so set so many of us in our journeys with our sexual struggles. Our stories are eerily similar. I made the 'pledge' to God about promising to wait until marriage after I lost my virginity, because of a pregnancy scare. Ended up being an 'Everything But' in reality. I still look back on that time 15 years later, questioning if I did it for love of God, or being more terrified of the consequences of my actions. I was definitely more fearful of my consequences. I thank God for convicting my heart. This video is further confirmation that we must all be prayerful regarding how easy we can deceive ourselves, justifying our motives out of self-preservation rather than fully submitting hearts to God. Thanks again Brother Allen!!! Really helpuful!
Yes,
Yes,
When my mind wants to go there, I think about Philippians 4:8: "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things." It helps me remember if what I'm thinking about isn't pure, lovely, etc., then I shouldn't entertain it. Sometimes I'll need to repeat it a few times.
Was celibate for 14 years before meeting my wife. I wasn't a virgin when I met my her.
Decided to wait after going through a horrible breakup living a "married" life. After causing us both great pain, I gave my life to the Lord after nearly ending my life. And completely changed for God.
Best decision ever.
Your brutal honesty is so real, true, and eye/ heart-opening! Thank you for keeping it real and helping us along the way!
As ever, honest yet uncompromising biblically based advice and teaching for those wanting to grow in an authentic Christian life
It takes so much courage to share this. Thank you for sharing your story.
This is probably one of your best videos in my opinion! Thank you for the transparency because it helps many who are struggling to know that there is hope
Continued Blessings to you! So thankful for wisdom that you share. I'm sharing this with my 18 y/o daughter and her boyfriend who are both saved but the part about sexual purity hit my spirit when you said that! Amen! To God be the Glory 🙏🏽
Thank you brother Allen for your transparency in this video. I'm sure it wasn't easy to share so much personal information, but many will be blessed and encouraged from your doing so. The enemy tries to convince us that spiritual struggles and failings that we experience are unique to us and that we need to hide such things and keep up a facade. But true freedom comes from being honest, owning our sin, and repenting. Doing so encourages and strengthens others, and it is the way that God in His power sets so many people free. Again brother thank you for doing this.
Brother Allen you don’t understand how much I needed this video. I really appreciate the transparency that a lot of strong brothers are sharing about their purity. It’s removing the veil thinking that “holier than thou” mindset. I caught myself deciding to be celibate for myself than God too and that’s led me to be more frustrated. Overall i appreciate the vulnerability
I so appreciate you tackling these hard and potential uncomfortable topics. Your videos are very encouraging!
Appreciate the honesty. I’d imagine most people struggle with these kinds of sins, so we need to talk about it frankly and openly.
This message hit hard. Lord I need your grace to overcome this stronghold in my life 🙏🤦🏾♂️
Great video Allen. Great transparency. I didn't get married until 45 and spent the last 13 years celibate. I can definitely relate to many of the things you said. I was being obedient out of love for God and also the promise of His blessing on my future marriage - which He came through with tenfold blessings PTL.
This was a very convicting message as we should all be seeking true purity in the eyes of Jesus.
I would stand on the mountaintop and proclaim the blessing of honoring the Lord in your singleness and abstaining from sex even if you have already gone off the rails. Get back on track for the Lord and He will bless you and your marriage with a love relationship that will far exceed your expectations.
God bless you...
I can abstain from having sex but how do I release the sexual tension!? Is masturbation ok????
Thank you for being so transparent. This is confirmation for me. I’m also sure that this will encourage so many people.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Thank you for saying it, Allen! The transparency is appreciated, and we definitely need more of these conversations in the body because there are many brothers and sisters who can be helped when we get vulnerable. All the more respect for you and grateful that God’s using you, even the past you 🙏
Allen thank you for sharing this. Your testimony has given me so much hope. I thank God for the hard struggle you went through. I’ve been celibate for going on 14yrs and some days I just don’t want to do it anymore! It just seems unnatural to go this long without any physical intimacy. I don’t know many people in the Christian community holding out like this. Makes me feel so alone until I see videos like this.
I’ve been using loopholes as well. Kinda knew in the back of my mind but was avoiding it. Thanks for this and I’ll be trying even harder 🙏
I’m so happy you aren’t afraid to speak on real life issues. Thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you so much, I really needed to hear this now I understand where I was wrong and I need to change today I'm 62 years old and divorced I try to blame the failure of our marriage on my ex-wife but now I realize we were both wrong. It was both of us that broke our vows. And God bless you and thank you, at 62 years old I'm going to try and turn my life around and start over it's not over yet!
Thank you brother for being so transparent. Praise God for your life! Praying that the Lord continues to strengthen and guide you in all areas of your life. Thank you for your ministry, I have learned so much🙏🏻
Thank you Allen, Appreciate your openness, Nothing is hidden from our Lord. Love your videos ! Many blessings to you and you family, Sheree
Thank you for the truth and transparency brother. This is helping someone . God is being glorified through your testimony. 🙏💖
Much respect, Allen for your transparency, humility, honesty, and willingness to be vulnerable for the edification of other believers.
Great overall message too about celibacy vs sexual purity.
Thanks for this Allen. By the grace of God alone, I've remained a Virgin my whole life (im 20), but I've struggled alot with lust. As Jesus said, sin begins in the heart. And it's this struggle that God has helped me through. As someone who found who I believe to be the woman for me, I want my thoughts to be pure to honor her and God to the best of my ability. I don't just want a badge of man's approval, I want the best God has to offer 💯
I'm 39 and still one.
Yay happy for you.
I pray u keep that mentality about your future spouse the whole of your marriage.
Godbless
Thanks for the honesty and being open with your viewers. I was a virgin till I got married but it certainly wasn't easy.
I’m grateful to you for making this video. Thank you for your transparency and explanations on purity vs celibacy
I really appreciate you being so open about this brother Allen. It's a struggle for sure.
Wow. This video is causing some conviction for me. Thank you Brother Allen. Praise God for how He is using you
Brother, you gotta be the most honest dude I know. Man you put it out there. I enjoy all your videos. You have helped me so much. Keep it real Brother. I love you.
That was brave of you Allen. God bless you richly as you serve the body of Christ. I pray that your testimony will open someone's eyes and help someone.
This is one of the most encouraging things I’ve heard on TH-cam ever, thank you so much for sharing your journey with us brother
Thanks for being so open and honest . Many would not do this and I fell in this area as well so you and God spoke to me the same way and I stop. This was for me to hear. Thank you so much brother Allen
We've all done it but thank GOD for His mercy! Great video...🙏🏾💯
Wow! That was an incredible amount of honesty!! MUCH respect!
It's so true. What's done in the dark shall come to the light. I bet you felt alot better coming clean about that.. Thanks for sharing your story. It gives me hope 🙏🏿 till marriage. Love ya brother Allen
Purity Loved That. Thank you so much For this correction from small to Big in The Body. Hallelujah
Thank you for baring your self in sharing this. It is tough for people to be real about themselves, particularly for those with a good reputation.
Respect brother for sharing this I‘ve been in a similar situation and thank God he helps me to stay pure after having struggled with this for very long
Thank you so very much for your openness and honesty. I was meant to hear this message. You were speaking to me.
Thank you for your humility and honesty, brother Parr
Thank you for this and for being so transparent and real. You've definitely helped me in my personal life and growth and given me a good resource to help others. Thank you again.
Merry Christmas to you and family Brother Allen! God Bless and keep on preaching the Word!🙏🏻🕊💙
Well said, Brother Allan.
IN THIS MOMENT... You might be the realest Pastor with a testimony on the internet! Oh my oh my, you totally cut the light 💡 on for me. I was abstinent for seven years myself but I too delved in loop holes to find fulfilment as I thought to myself, "Well, we did not sleep together." Thank you sincerely for sharing this testimony. I really thought you were about to hit us with a five to 10 step action plan 😆on how to refrain from premarital sex. But, your story was much better and surely needed. God bless you, your family, and your ministry. 🙏As always, know that we are out here listening and following you as you follow Christ.
Bro. Allen, thank you for being so honest and vulnerable. There’s nothing easy about sharing this part of yourself with the WORLD. Your video was necessary to shed light on the distinction of Sexual Purity, which is the holiness God requires. I am sure most Christians can relate to your experience: I certainly can and I am grateful that the Lord’s deliverance is not only possible, but available to us all if we are sincerely seeking to live a life of purity. GOD CAN KEEP US…we have no ability to keep OURSELVES. We are weak, but HE is strong. Thank you for addressing this REAL LIFE issue.
Who are boasting and claiming that the Creator is useless, worthless, and undeserving to be honored and obeyed as the Most High and Sovereign God?
ANSWER -
All the great, superior, and powerful Atheists, Agnostics, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, all Theists and their worthless and foolish God, Satan the Devil.
Who are boasting and claiming that the authority and teachings of Jesus Christ about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" are worthless and useless, without any value at all?
ANSWER -
All the great, superior, and powerful Atheists, Agnostics, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, all Theists and their worthless and foolish God, Satan the Devil.
WHAT IS "THE KINGDOM OF GOD"?
JESUS CHRIST KNOWS
that the coming "Kingdom of God" through him will put an end to all the Satanic LIES, deceptions, arrogance and foolishness of all the cruel and hateful Atheists, Agnostics, Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, all Theists and ensures planet earth is peaceful, secure, and safe for all lowly, kind, and submissive human beings who will live and exist on it forever without sufferings, pains, griefs, sickness, and deaths.
WHAT IS THE "RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD"? -
JESUS CHRIST KNOWS
that his teaching about "The Resurrection of the Dead" guarantees that Abel, Noah, Abraham, Moses, King David, his followers, and many loving, kind, and respectful human beings who died even thousands of years ago will be resurrected back to life in the Creator's own right time so they can live and exist again on a safe and peaceful earth and fully enjoy his and the Creator's eternal love, kindness, compassions, generosities, favors, and blessings for eternity as submissive and obedient subjects of the "Kingdom of God" under his loving rulership, guidance and protection as the Creator's Chosen King and Ruler.
Allen when I listen to you sharing your life and GOD word I understand so much thank you for being transparent and helping me as a try to live a life of holiness and surrender to Almighty GOD blessings to you and your family and ministry
Thanks for being so open Brother ❤️🤲
Thank you for your honesty Allen, this a powerful and truly convicting video. God bless! 🙏🏾
Now, you got more respect from me that you did b4! God bless you so much! Glory to God🎉
Confession is good with a brother, Thank you! Honesty is hard, but needed.
This video was so needed, and I absolutely love your honesty regarding your walk and struggle with sexual sin. I honestly think more sharing of our testimonies regarding this subject would be so helpful to the Church because a lot of fellow Christians still would rather sweep any sort of talk of sexual struggles under the rug as taboo instead of dealing with the issue head on and providing relief and encouragement to other believers who feel isolated in their struggle.
That being said, full disclosure, God has blessed me to commit to a vow of celibacy as well and I have never engaged in physical sexual acts (although my heart used to be very damaged and sin filled).
On this journey, God has been working out so much gunk built up in my heart over the years from secular/toxic molding that had gone on in my early years regarding sex and what role that should play in my life. I used to honestly be frustrated with God sometimes because I would think “why can’t I touch” or “it’s impossible to not even look”, but through the years God has been revealing to me that of course I was so sexually frustrated because I was allowing myself to take part in and watch and listen to all of these things that were hyper sexualized and encouraged a very sexual worldview.
So over the years God has been helping me to overcome the hold sexual temptation used to have over my life by revealing to me the different areas that needed cleansing. Certain movies and tv shows I cut off completely, and today I look on the parental guidance lists to see if there’s anything that will tempt me. Certain songs that encouraged a “freaky” mindset I deleted from my music library. Certain books and short stories (‘imagines’ and ‘fan fic’ on social media) I deleted and actively avoided or clicked the ‘not interested’ box. And honestly it’s helped so much.
God revealed to me that my lust was rooted in my sense of loneliness and directly fed into my anxiety and depression that I suffered from. As I continue to surrender more and more of my life to Him and His Will, the more genuinely free I feel. I do still struggle from time to time because although I’m not of the world anymore, I am still in it and there are temptations everywhere. But honestly God has my life and my heart more than ever now, and I continue to pray for the strength to follow Him as He leads me into a life greater than any fantasy I ever could’ve cooked up when I was still a slave to sexual sin.
I just want to encourage y’all today by saying that God doesn’t call us to any situation or lifestyle He won’t personally equip us to handle as we lean into Him and His Word. God blesses us with the lifestyle we are called to live, as well as the tools in His Word we need to get there gracefully. Praise God for His Presence over and through our lives and God bless y’all on your journeys ❤
ATHEISTS, AGNOSTICS, and FANATICS of all Christian and non-Christian RELIGIONS in the world KNOW that
they are oppose and against the Creator's Sovereignty and his Christ's authority and teachings about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead".
The CREATOR and his CHRIST KNOW that
their enemies are Satan the Devil, the Atheists, Agnostics, Fanatics of all Religions and their anti-Christs Pastors and Leaders.
THE CREATOR KNOWS that
ETERNAL LIFE and existence on earth without sufferings, pains, griefs, sickness, and deaths is his favor and reward for lowly, kind, and submissive human beings who honor and obey his Christ as their loving, kind, and merciful Heavenly Master and King and believe his teachings about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead".
THE CREATOR KNOWS that
in his own right time, he will let Jesus Christ resurrect back to life Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, King David, the Christ's followers, and all loving, kind, and respectful human beings who died even thousands of years ago so they can live and exist again on a safe and peaceful earth as submissive and obedient subjects of the "Kingdom of God" and fully enjoy his and his Christ's eternal love, kindness, compassions, generosities, favors, and blessings for eternity under the loving rulership, guidance and protection of his Chosen King and Ruler, his Christ.
Brother Parr thank you for your transparency my story is very similar except I am not married or have any children as of yet. I however can relate greatly to a lot of what you spoke about.
Blessings always to you and your family brother. Thank you for the content👍🏾💜💯👊🏽
Thank you for your honesty and truth of the gospel. May God continue to lead you and bless you. 🙏🏽
It is a Blessing to see when someone can admit to Pride, AND when they expose and address Their Own Iniquity; mayhap it's one of the most valuable lessons one teach and you did so by Example. God Bless You and yours, Allen. Merry Christmas, too! Thank You!
"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. . . " 3 John 1:2
Thank You Allen For The Transparency! God Bless You & Your Family! In Christ's Name. Amen!
I've been celibate my entire life. I've been unwanted my entire life too. I'm tired of the pain.
Just going to say the loop hole comment and social media comment is something I needed to hear. Thank you
Thanks for sharing your story. I respect you for doing so. I’m in the same boat. I struggle with self sexual sins. I think it’s because I’m in my 30s and never had a boyfriend. It’s so frustrating to be waiting so long and nothing is happening. I pray to God to help me with these issues but I haven’t gotten my prayers answered. I really hope I’m not left like this forever. I just pray that I can endure and be celibate too.
Much respect to you for telling your story. To God be the glory.
Thank you Brother Allen for being completely honest with your story. I know that probably was difficult to share but it did help me to know the difference and what God wants from me.
There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus ! Don’t be ashamed of your past brother for any man in Christ is a new creation. We all have a struggles and falls and for some they last longer than others. However look at the great heights that The Lord has taken you too now. Stay blessed my brother and May The Lord have his perfect way in your life !
That Jacket's really nice! Thank you for your transparency and honesty 👏🏾
Bro, we appreciate the way you picturing your life, being honest! May the true God sends a guidance for steps your future.
Thank you for this as it’s not anything I personally needed but I was able to share with someone very dear to me. I do however, wish I had of known more when I was younger and divorced my first husband. But I wasn’t a Christian as I was never taught about Christ and The TRUE LIVING WORD. I’ve repented of all my sins and am blessed to be married to my best friend for 15 years and 4 months 🙏🏼💪🏽🙏🏼. While I had already surrendered my life to Christ when we met he’s taught me so much more over the years. We follow your channel and a few other and have learned so much. Thank you again, for your honesty and all you do.

Pastor Parr, I give you props! 🙌 19 years is amazing! Im 31 and I would love to go at least a year in order to focus more on school and getting to know people as people before I date of marriage.
Thank you brother Parr for your transparency and for another great lesson. If only this subject would have been taught like this and more when many of us were younger. Even today, there's really no deep teaching on this. The subject matter in church today is so minimized to it's a sin, sex is for marriage, and you'll go to hell. The church would do good if it expounded more like you did here. Thanks again, and stay blessed!🙏
Thank you soo much for sharing your testimony!! I applaud your transparency
Thank you for your honesty and openness. 🙏🏿
This is so powerful !! Great ful for the transparency
Such a great video Alan. This is so helpful 🕊✝️🙏
Thanks for sharing! I appreciate your honesty!
Great video. I like the honesty, most Christians struggle with secret sins & not many are ready to admit it
I appreciate and respect your honesty. I also agree with your message in this video. Thank you.
God bless you for being so transparent! The body of Christ needs more of these transparent stories. We all fall short, that’s why Jesus paid the ultimate price.
This was good, thank you for sharing your experience. 💜
Thank you for sharing this
So good! Thank you for this; relatable for sure.
God bless you Mr Allen for sharing this. It's so helpful. Thank you...
Thank you, brother. My story is similar to yours in some significant ways. I appreciate your transparency.
Thank you for your transparent testimony
Allen. Many thanks for your honesty and courage. Bless you.
Well-done Bro Allen . Great video! The Lord Bless You!
I understand your struggles. I have also been through personal sexual struggles in my younger years.
I don't appreciate how people in black religious circles are very silent and also hypocrite about these struggles. Nearly everybody tries to act as they are more holy sexually than they are.
The worse part is that after many religious leaders have been through such struggles; they put heavy burden that they couldn't bear on young people and tell them to stay single for a long time and not be involved in any sexual activity. Unfortunately many young people stumble and the viscous circle continues.
Good teachers should have a good realistic example.
I think this reveals an overall failure of the religious system in addressing sexual struggles in general.
They pretty much have and individualistic approach that recommends believers to pray and watch or even flee. But the reality is that you can hardly flee from sexual thoughts.
The main problem is that they undermine the importance of marriage in winning these sexual battles.
Marrying particularly at a young age will help prevent many of those sexual struggles in the first place.
We need a new generation of religious leaders that is going to empower young Christians with both theoretical and practical means to overcome their sexual struggles and live godlier lives in this perverse generation. Marriage at a much early time before lust from sexual starvation gets built in young people is very much part of a reliable solution.
Praise God for this message 😇😇😇❣❣❣❣🎄🎄🎄🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌
Thank you Allen, I know this is a topic many young men face and even women. God bless you. Praise Jesus.
It’s a real struggle, please keep me in prayer I’m 6 months celibate and fighting so hard! I pray god have my Boaz find me fast. 🙏🏾
good message brother, i love the transparency Jesus is so good isnt he! so faithfull
Thank you for your honesty Allen.
Thank you for your honesty.
God bless you Allen for being humble and honest. I am dating someone and we are both saved, yet struggle at times and are praying to the Lord to help keep us well behaved. It’s not a topic talked about much and most Christians make it sound so easy and simple. So thank you for not being ashamed and letting the Holy Spirit work through you to keep the rest of us out of the dark.
