The confessional is a powerful way to exorcise demons that prey on our weakness. Thank you Lord for the priesthood and your testimony. Glory to God forever
It’s only Jesus who got me to your video. This was me. I suffered a lot too and even risked my marriage. Now standing for my marriage, please pray for me 🙏🏽 I was empty inside because unloved feelings and childhood wounds. Unloved by my love & abuse
Yes of course I will pray for you Margaret 🙏🏼 May God continue to heal you and your marriage in Jesus name! ❤️ Keep fighting for your marriage just don’t stop seeking God Amen !?
Jesus took away the stronghold of alcohol (my primary addiction) and many other things, too! I couldn't have done it by myself which is why I suffered so much. But His mercy and grace is so good! Keep preaching about Him!! Thanks for sharing!
This is powerful. It’s so hard being on this walk. Ppl think it’s a overnight thing but it’s not for some of us. It can be years or a day to break addictions or sinful ways. But waking up to try everyday is the key for me.
I was only able to hold off for 3 to 5 days max, and then again I was laying in the mud face down 5 hours per day everyday, until I went and asked the pastors to pray for me and my demonic problem and Jesus freed my soul.
What a wonderful privilege to be part of this powerful work that the Lord is doing with you Amanda. Yes it’s a privilege for me as a priest to be part of it. And that’s the reason why I’m a priest. Because Christ matters and takes us out of hell and gives us new life. Thanks for saying yes to the Church. It’s people and stories like yours that make me a better priest. God bless you. Fr. Costa.
Thank you for all that you do and what you do for the Church 🙏🏼 I am forever grateful! We need more priests like yourself so thank you. All the Glory be to God 🙌🏼
Dear Renan, Did you notice at all that Amanda never ONCE said the name, Jesus Christ? I think even a Catholic priest would gently point out that it is impossible to even know God apart from having a relationship with his Son who died for us so that by faith in him we can have eternal life kept safely in him by his faith! John 14:6: “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” My uncle was a Very Right Reverend Monsignor (Sylvester Van Berkel, Wisconsin), who very likely went to a Christ-less eternal nothingness when he died because he never truly trusted Jesus Christ - he trusted the Roman Catholic Church. I hope that you will not make the same fatal error and that you have placed your faith completely in the Son of God and not any in anyone or anything else but Jesus Christ! (I realize that you did mention Christ in your comment and I do thank you for that!)
That’s a strange comment Deborah about this brave testimony that’s obviously inspired by the Holy Spirit. A new Christian shouldn’t be expected to speak like a seasoned theologian. She has done an excellent job explaining her walk with Christ. Especially the discernment about knowing to avoid ‘new age’ ideas. Good for you Amanda and Fr.Renan. God Bless, from Ireland. [edit: btw Deborah. ‘Jesus’ is said several times in the video]
@@Lorien-Yard Thank you for that correction and I do see now that the name of the Lord Jesus is mentioned, so I apologize to all for making that assumption without listening to the whole thing again. I guess what I was disappointed about was that the actual need for a person to place their faith completely in Jesus Christ for their salvation was not made as clear as it needs to be for those yet unsaved. I'm also wondering why I complained about that to a Catholic priest when I know from personal experience from having grown up in a Catholic household with an uncle that was a priest, that Catholic clergy are not taught the true gospel of salvation which is salvation by grace through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone, because the Catholic Church has a system of works and sacrament observance which they believe provides the graces necessary to achieve the right to spend the afterlife in a place called "heaven," unless there is some sin that hadn't been properly taken care of by going to Confession and doing Penance, then the soul might have to do some time in Purgatory, which I believe isn't too far from the place called, "Limbo," where unfortunate, unbaptized babies end up (and I always hoped it wasn't too bad there because both my mom and my sister each lost a baby). Just the fact that Amanda has decided to remain enmeshed in a religion with a lot of occult trappings from the ancient mystery religions such as Mithra and Dagon worship is disturbing enough.
@@dfkuz I appreciate your concern and I wish you expressed it to me privately(My contact information is in on my channel) As Christians in general regardless of our denomination our goal is to get unbelievers to Jesus and this is doing the opposite unfortunately. I don’t know about yourself but every time I used to see a Christian-based video and I see Christians arguing in the comment section it does not make me as an unbeliever want to join that community. Why if I’m just going to be criticized right? It’s good to correct people yes I agree but do it privately sister. The only reason why I am not right now because I do hope others can see this. For the sole reason that we as a community do not continue to do this as I personally don’t think it’s healthy for the mission we’re all on.

What a GREAT and HONEST Testimony! I literally broke down and cry when came the part you went and made and very truthful confession. I struggled with Bulimic all my life and still struggle daily, It's so hard I can't stop. You are such a brave girl sharing your testimony on here.

I am thankful that God directed me to your video. I have struggled with porn and masturbation for years and still do, but I am a faithful person and am trusting Him that He will deliver me from it.

Pray for me for deliverance, if you would. I do feel like this time it can stick and I am giving my life fully to God. Thanks again.

Wow Thank God for you and i thank him for liberating you! I am currently struggling with the same addiction and everything you said, I know for a fact that God is talking to me, your testimony is almost exactly to my story from being Catholic growing up, to leaving and coming back and I know I’m saved been two years and I’ve been falling these two years, and now I’m ready to go to a real confession, I need his deliverance through confession, and I’m going in a couple hours. May God bless you and thank you for having the courage to share you have no idea how much this changed me, thank you Jesus
That’s a fantastic testimony Amanda! Sexual addictions are just as real as any other addiction is. My addiction and recovery from masturbation is very similar to yours. I used to drink and then do it. The physical cravings were in my taste buds if that makes any sense. The night He delivered me from the cravings I spent hours fighting it, but then gave in. Afterwards I cried out to Jesus in anger at myself and despair in my heart for Him to take this from me. He did! The cravings never returned. Did I sometimes give into the thought of masturbating. Unfortunately I did, but each time I was convinced of it and reminded of what He freed me from. Now the thoughts of doing that seem childish to me. I really have no interest in doing that anymore. My relationship with God and ministry is far more important than temporary pleasures. For the guilt and shame last far longer than the moment of pleasure does. I shared your testimony on several social media sites in hopes that it reaches others in their time of struggle. Thank you sister for your obedience to the Holy Spirit by sharing your testimony.
Thank you so much for your brave testimony! I was an alcoholic and also had an extreme porn addiction that I could not control. Five years ago, God delivered me from both of those addictions and to this day they have not returned. It's like they were never there. Your desription of the before and after is exactly what I experienced. So, your story is my story. Like you, I now use my experience to help others. Well done! May God's grace continue to bless you.
cannot thank u enuff for being so brave & honest, thanks to your obedience to the Holy Spirit (Holiness Spirit) your testimony edifies others, such as myself, I also took 21 yrs to rid of my addiction, resisted Him and in rebellion for so long and wasted my time, energy, money, God is Good Good Father, Good & Gracious, Merciful 😭😭😭😭
I woke up to Romans 8 playing on my audio bible and than a few hours later here you are. I praise God for your deliverance! Thank you for being so vulnerable. It has been very encouraging and a reminder of how much I need Jesus. I can’t overcome the flesh on my own
@@journeytoholinesswithamanda so glad that you are a sister in Christ amen we all have a past but we are gods creation I don't listen to curse music that hinders my faith or any curse movies more faith content and glorifying our creator amen together amen ✝️☦️🙏🌅✝️🔥🔥🇭🇲 it's baby Christian steps sister in Christ amen
What a beautiful testimony, thanks for sharing! ❤💯 I will translate it to spanish, so more people can be reached All glory and praise to Our Lord Jesus Christ 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Blessings, you are so brave 🤗
Thank you for sharing your testimony. I used to listen to Michael Todd's teachings but found a deep connection regarding new age spirituality and his teachings. He preaches a lot about visualization and manifestation with a sprinkle of Jesus on it.
Thank you for sharing this , i am a male yet this still has helped me , at times we need to hear others are going through the same struggle, thank you once again.
Such a courageous woman. Thank you for your statement. Also, you're very blessed for having left the Catholic Church for protestantism because there's only one Truth Church. God Bless
❤ thank you my good Sister Amanda for being real about the struggle to be what Jesus sees us as. You helped me to overcome this same addiction. Be blessed today in Jesus Name Amen 🙌 from brother Kent 🙏
Thank you for being so brave and sharing. I’ve struggled with so many addictions in life that hearing how God gave you his power to overcome these sufferings was so beautiful. God bless you as you continue to know him and his righteousness! Christians all over the world are awakening and we as believers need to be strong in our Lord. God bless you!
@@journeytoholinesswithamanda please pray for me. I had the Holy ghost an let Satan trick me back to destruction and lies. Sin of flesh. I have never been on fire for God I was attacked sifted and stripped badly. I wasn't even corrected or convicted Something was wrong. There I thought I was missing something and got FOOLED. I was in Christ and TRICKED bad. Immortality when I was NOTHING like that. The same. Christians around me were having sex before marriage and I was shocked. Very hurt .it totally turned me off. All of it and I was just NOT ok with being with them in church or ever ....I wasn't even told porn was wrong SAME I WAS CURIOUS and was watching and the HOLY GHOST didn't say anything..... NOTHING I would hear about God later. I just ran. I wasn't pursued to even HAVE GOD THE HOLY GHOST. HORRIBLE ..
Wow ,you are awesome and courageous. 💜✝️ I have fear, depression, and smoking cigarettes addiction. I need to give this problem to him. I tell other people , but its God who can only take this from me. I realize also that the rapture is coming like real soon.
Yes, giving your life to Jesus is the best decision ever and His way really is the best way. I know now that even if I was still struggling with my addiction doing life with God is way better than doing life without Him. I will pray for you Melissa God bless you.
I am a recovering opiate addict .I've been in treatment since Nov 26th 2014 .He made way for me a unique way .praise God .I don't take opiates yuk but I do take medicine to help I will keep on going I won't give up from.totsl delivery from treatment too 😊.praise you Lord in the storm
The Grace of God is free.. Scripture says "There is NO CONDEMNATION TO THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS"...Great honest testimony that will help many..love from Australia ❤️
I had the same . Jesus saved me . Heaven rejoices more over 1 sinner who repents and comes back than over the 99 righteous. Am happy you uploaded , it can inspire people to come to God , thats why Holy Spirit wanted you to give your Testimoni. Stay prayed up and be blessed ❤❤
You are a beautiful, brave, tough and inspiring lady, teaching invaluable lessons on overcoming self-regret, self-indulgence, and destructive addictions or self-centeredness of all kinds. May God continually bless you. Warm regards, Dr. JG
Keep pressing hun, He wants to reveal so much more to you. His goodness surely does follow us all the days of our lives. I’m so happy for you!!! Just know He is going to use you even better than this. Keep seeking Him and trusting Him. He has a beautiful plan for your life. There’s going to be hard times as the earth is just our battlefield but greater is in heaven for us. Thank you for sharing your testimony and keep being obedient to Him and fully submitted!!! It’s okay to cry, it’s shows Him the sincerity of our words. Greater is coming!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Right now, my addiction is Kratom, but I have struggled with going to massage parlors for over 2 decades. Being married and all, I pray that God will forgive me and help me recover. All I know how to do, is surrender daily to him, and pray for faith of salvation and not fear of judgement. I am not Catholic, but protestant. (Actually SDA)
Thank you for sharing your testimony! I love watching these even after I have full faith in the Lord because it’s a constant reminder of where I’ve come from. I dealt with very similar things. Jesus is all we need and only HE can make us WHOLE. Everything else is icing on the cake. Thank you sister, all the glory to God 🙌🏽
I had a similar journey. I prayed and cried to be free of it . I was born and raised Catholic, so I knew it was a mortal sin , but I was weak and selfish. Then I decided to start praying the Holy Rosary . That led me to going to confession where I had to humiliate myself but also cleanse my soul. I had an urge to return to Mass and receive Holy Communion, but I knew I couldn't without going to Confession first . Now I go to Mass everyday and receive more joy than I have ever felt in my life . God is good, may he continue to bless you !!
Thank you so much! I love the honesty you have and you are so brave to bare your soul in this way. I was listening thinking you were going to walk away from the Catholic faith, I'm glad to hear you didn't. Confession is wonderful isnt it?
Amazing story! Blessing to you my fellow sister in Christ✝️ Also my fellow Canadian 🇨🇦 I live in USA but born & raised in Alberta. Between Calgary & Edmonton. May your testimony reach others for the Glory of God.
Omgosh this was great. I thankfully know just how literal you are when you say God delivered from your addiction b/c it happened to me also. So it's always nice hearing about other people's miracles.
I recently had the same experience of deliverance. I had a heavy porn addiction for about 6 years, trying multiple times to quit but the urges were way to overwhelming and I couldn't go more than a day without it. One night about 3 months ago I felt conviction for the way I was living my life and literally cried out to God to intervene because I couldn't do it by myself. The next morning I had no desire for porn and it's been 3 months without any real temptation at all! I too know that God helped me because I had tried so many times to change things on my own but couldn't barely get through one day! He also removed my addiction to Marijuana which I've had no desire to smoke, after heavy use for about 6 years also. There's still more work I need to do, but God delivered me from those 2 things and restored our relationship so I can keep moving forward. Cry out to God and he will answer you!
God bless you, Amanda. You’re very brave. You responded to Gods grace by opening up your heart to Him and guess what.. He gave you not only healing but also the gift of repentance. I have my own struggles and I need humility to overcome them. I pray for your perseverance. Saint Mary Magdalene, pray for us..
I’m so proud of you. Blessings to you. ❤ I truly understand what you meant. I had the same addiction since a teen maybe b4. I struggled hard. Last year in August (almost a year) I finally said ENOUGH! After God saved me from a drunken night And I slip up twice after but since Nov I haven’t had the urge and trust me the devil try to tempt me. BUT JESUS! He saved me and he kept me. I said I love him too much to ever go back. The spiritual warfare is real. Demonic attacks you name it. Praise the lord
Your honesty and courage in that testimony were inspiring. I can relate a lot to your testimony. I also grew up going to Catholic school but didn't know Jesus due to ignorance and worldly things. I am at the beginning of a journey to leave behind past addictions and walk with God instead of the world. I have actually left my life in London behind and am right now in the English countryside to make sure I can form a strong relationship with God before I carry on with my life again. The positive impact it has on other people with the same issues when people share in such a brutally honest way can't be understated; nothing is worth more than your eternal soul. Thank you for sharing it.
Keep seeking God He is a healer 🙏🏼 Hallelujah and I am so happy to hear your beginning this journey to walk with God I will be praying for you! Keep going don’t stop saying yes to God it will be the best decision of your life. God bless 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing. I’ve had a similar thing on a small scale, I am stuck at home for a great deal of time with an autistic child. I had got so bad with boredom eating. I’ve tried of my own will to stop but I couldn’t. So only like a week or so ago I asked God to help with this and said I wanted to reduce something for him. Keep seeing people do all this fasting but I’m no where near able to do that yet. So I just asked to help me miss lunch and also stop all the snacking. Literally I started that day and have no food cravings out of boredom. It’s crazy, just gone 😊
Good testimony. You were very brave because your particular struggle is not an easy thing to talk about, especially for a woman. I can see that God has touched your life, changed your heart, and given you boldness and humility. Thank you for sharing. May God continue to bless you. 💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏
So happy I came across this, I completely gave it to the Lord to help me stop drinking, instantly I found a peace come over me. I haven’t had a drink since. After years of trying on my own. God is good! 🙏🏻
Dear sister you're so brave to share and it's so encouraging because so many people struggle with addiction and are desperate to get free! You'd like Todd White's testimony too and Dan Mohler sermon called love and forgiveness (has a picture of a heart on the video).
Proud of you! Continue on the journey... Continue to repent daily. Keep striving and growing. Forgive yourself and others and keep moving forward! Read your scriptures and pray daily. Help others!
Thank the Lord and thank you! I prayed for help with this exact same problem and He sent me this video to listen to! God loves you!peace of the Lord be with you!
Jesus is so real he has done things in my life that I still stand in awe and amazement. Please don’t wait until the last second to repent and to seek him for a relationship because one day he is coming and calling those he loves home. By my faith in him and my trust in him I believe I am one of them. So please stand strong and endure the battle of sin and remember we serve a God who conquered this world and if we are covered by him we to have conquered this world. Please seek his face and life will be given to you.
Jesus Christ died for all our sin and the moment we believe we are born again. He will never leave nor forsake us. By His blood we are saved. He is our mediator and lover of our soul. Love you sis! God bless.
Amanda that was a lovely confession, I to have had similar experiences. They are very time-consuming. Addiction is very difficult to lose. I’m so proud of you.
Dear Amanda, I have no words to thank you for this testimony, you have really edified me…I am a priest in the north of Italy in Ferrara and I know so many people struggling with these kind of addictions; only the Holy Spirit can set us free from the chains of Satan and from our nature always in need of something. The enemy is always there ready to make us believe that God is not the answer of our problems…in fact He is our strength to overcome all difficulties. Thank you so much for the testimony and if I have your permission I will use your story as many others during sermons to help people in need. Good bless you Amanda and I will keep you in my prayers and please do the same for me. Ciao Fr Giacomo
Amen sister in Christ. What a beautiful testimony. I just came across your video. This was definitely from Jesus. Just what I needed. I also struggle with porn addiction and lust. It's a daily battle, but I know God is in control, and nothing is impossible for God. Pray for you sister in Christ. God Bless you.🙏🙏🕊💖💜
What a beautiful testimony and (believe it or not) very similar to me as an Australian dude growing up in the 80s! Catholic family, all boys school, porn presented as a way to educate yourself in the unknown, protestant friends inviting me to their church where I was struck by something different (people with the Spirit). And the "sex before marriage is an older generation thing" was the SAME LIE we told ourselves in the 80s! I was able to stay pure and wait until marriage but I wasn't blessed/cursed with your level of physical beauty so it may have been easier for me. I thought you were college student aged and did a spit-take when you said "I didn't read the bible until my 30s"! Thanks for opening up about this, it was very encouraging and will help others in the same struggles.
Thank you for sharing your addiction. May god bless this testimony and bless others by sharing. For all fall short of glory of God. I felt the power of God and his love from 1993.
God bless you for your honesty, obedient to share your testimony. God is Love, you are the apple of His eye, that's how important and Loved you are. Remember there is NO condemnation for those who believe in Him, but who don’t believe already be condemned. God bless❤
Thank you so much for sharing your testimony. I am so happy for you that God delivered you from addiction, that can be so hard. It is very encouraging and I am sure God will use your story to lead other people to Him. God bless you and I pray that He continues to build you up, protects you and uses you for great things. ❤🙏
The confessional is a powerful way to exorcise demons that prey on our weakness. Thank you Lord for the priesthood and your testimony. Glory to God forever
I forget how powerful the Sacrament of Confession is. I need to get back. Been gone to long. I've gotten pulled back into the world.
It’s only Jesus who got me to your video. This was me. I suffered a lot too and even risked my marriage. Now standing for my marriage, please pray for me 🙏🏽 I was empty inside because unloved feelings and childhood wounds. Unloved by my love & abuse

Keep fighting for your marriage just don’t stop seeking God Amen !?
I've never heard such a honest and important testimony before. You save people to the Lord with that.

Me too, I just love that channel 💒.
Jesus took away the stronghold of alcohol (my primary addiction) and many other things, too! I couldn't have done it by myself which is why I suffered so much. But His mercy and grace is so good! Keep preaching about Him!! Thanks for sharing!
I too have been free of alcohol through God's intervention! 26 years!
May we all learn to be transparent, truth is healing ❤️🩹 this was so filled with Honesty! Jesus thank you for restoration!!❤🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Blessed be God forever. I had same struggles with alcohol. But now I’m free.
Wow! Conviction plays a big part in growth and demise
May The Lord bless your walk daily!
This is powerful. It’s so hard being on this walk. Ppl think it’s a overnight thing but it’s not for some of us. It can be years or a day to break addictions or sinful ways. But waking up to try everyday is the key for me.
Agreed I am praying for you 🙏🏼 God bless you!

Unfortunately I did, but each time I was convinced of it and reminded of what He freed me from. Now the thoughts of doing that seem childish to me. I really have no interest in doing that anymore. My relationship with God and ministry is far more important than temporary pleasures. For the guilt and shame last far longer than the moment of pleasure does. I shared your testimony on several social media sites in hopes that it reaches others in their time of struggle.
Thank you sister for your obedience to the Holy Spirit by sharing your testimony.
Thank you so much for your brave testimony! I was an alcoholic and also had an extreme porn addiction that I could not control. Five years ago, God delivered me from both of those addictions and to this day they have not returned. It's like they were never there. Your desription of the before and after is exactly what I experienced. So, your story is my story. Like you, I now use my experience to help others. Well done! May God's grace continue to bless you.
Amazing thank you for sharing. Glory be to God! Same to you may God continue to bless you. Amen!
cannot thank u enuff for being so brave & honest, thanks to your obedience to the Holy Spirit (Holiness Spirit) your testimony edifies others, such as myself, I also took 21 yrs to rid of my addiction, resisted Him and in rebellion for so long and wasted my time, energy, money, God is Good Good Father, Good & Gracious, Merciful 😭😭😭😭
I woke up to Romans 8 playing on my audio bible and than a few hours later here you are. I praise God for your deliverance! Thank you for being so vulnerable. It has been very encouraging and a reminder of how much I need Jesus. I can’t overcome the flesh on my own
Amen to that we all need Jesus 🙌🏼 God bless you!

Thank you for sharing your testimony. I used to listen to Michael Todd's teachings but found a deep connection regarding new age spirituality and his teachings. He preaches a lot about visualization and manifestation with a sprinkle of Jesus on it.

Of course I will pray for you brother 🙏🏼 God bless

@@journeytoholinesswithamanda please pray for me. I had the Holy ghost an let Satan trick me back to destruction and lies. Sin of flesh. I have never been on fire for God I was attacked sifted and stripped badly. I wasn't even corrected or convicted
Something was wrong. There I thought I was missing something and got FOOLED. I was in Christ and TRICKED bad. Immortality when I was NOTHING like that. The same. Christians around me were having sex before marriage and I was shocked. Very hurt .it totally turned me off. All of it and I was just NOT ok with being with them in church or ever ....I wasn't even told porn was wrong SAME I WAS CURIOUS and was watching and the HOLY GHOST didn't say anything..... NOTHING I would hear about God later. I just ran. I wasn't pursued to even HAVE GOD THE HOLY GHOST. HORRIBLE ..
Wow ,you are awesome and courageous. 💜✝️ I have fear, depression, and smoking cigarettes addiction. I need to give this problem to him. I tell other people , but its God who can only take this from me. I realize also that the rapture is coming like real soon.
Yes, giving your life to Jesus is the best decision ever and His way really is the best way. I know now that even if I was still struggling with my addiction doing life with God is way better than doing life without Him. I will pray for you Melissa God bless you.
@@journeytoholinesswithamanda Thank you. God bless you.💜✝️

@@gravityjohn5759 thank you for the kind words and may God continue to bless you as well 🙏🏼
keep growing in the word, and hang out with others who are sold out for Jesus. Jeremiah 29:11
Keep pressing hun, He wants to reveal so much more to you. His goodness surely does follow us all the days of our lives. I’m so happy for you!!! Just know He is going to use you even better than this. Keep seeking Him and trusting Him. He has a beautiful plan for your life. There’s going to be hard times as the earth is just our battlefield but greater is in heaven for us. Thank you for sharing your testimony and keep being obedient to Him and fully submitted!!! It’s okay to cry, it’s shows Him the sincerity of our words. Greater is coming!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the encouraging words God bless you!
Right now, my addiction is Kratom, but I have struggled with going to massage parlors for over 2 decades. Being married and all, I pray that God will forgive me and help me recover. All I know how to do, is surrender daily to him, and pray for faith of salvation and not fear of judgement. I am not Catholic, but protestant. (Actually SDA)
Thank you for sharing your testimony! I love watching these even after I have full faith in the Lord because it’s a constant reminder of where I’ve come from. I dealt with very similar things. Jesus is all we need and only HE can make us WHOLE. Everything else is icing on the cake. Thank you sister, all the glory to God 🙌🏽
Yes all the glory be to God 🙌🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for your transparency. That also breaks the neck of our enemies.
God bless you and I hope god keep healing you. 🤍🙏✝️
Thank you for your testimony.
I had a similar journey. I prayed and cried to be free of it . I was born and raised Catholic, so I knew it was a mortal sin , but I was weak and selfish.
Then I decided to start praying the Holy Rosary . That led me to going to confession where I had to humiliate myself but also cleanse my soul. I had an urge to return to Mass and receive Holy Communion, but I knew I couldn't without going to Confession first . Now I go to Mass everyday and receive more joy than I have ever felt in my life . God is good, may he continue to bless you !!
Hallelujah yes God is so good 🙌🏼🙏🏼 May God continue to bless you Philip!
@@journeytoholinesswithamanda Thank you
Samé here
Thank you for sharing your testimony! I feel like the harder I try, the harder I fall. I will never give up!
Exactly. That’s why surrendering to God is a must we cannot do anything on our own 🙏🏼 praying for you God bless
this was a great testimony! your insight on worldly dating is legit
Awesome! Amen! God bless you. Thank you. I am a Catholic convert. LOVE hearing other convertion stories!
This testimony will help a lot of people. You are to be commended. I hope and pray that you will have a great life. ✝️
God bless you
Thank you so much! I love the honesty you have and you are so brave to bare your soul in this way. I was listening thinking you were going to walk away from the Catholic faith, I'm glad to hear you didn't. Confession is wonderful isnt it?
Yes life changing 🙏🏼 All the Glory be to God!
Amazing story! Blessing to you my fellow sister in Christ✝️ Also my fellow Canadian 🇨🇦 I live in USA but born & raised in Alberta. Between Calgary & Edmonton.
May your testimony reach others for the Glory of God.
God bless you! 🙏🏼
Beautiful honesty. ❤
The truth shall set you Free! God Bless
Free indeed 🙏🏼 Hallelujah God bless
Thank you Father for using her, I ask you to bless her greatly. In Jesus name, amen.

Go in This your strength - Judges 6:14
Omgosh this was great. I thankfully know just how literal you are when you say God delivered from your addiction b/c it happened to me also. So it's always nice hearing about other people's miracles.
I recently had the same experience of deliverance. I had a heavy porn addiction for about 6 years, trying multiple times to quit but the urges were way to overwhelming and I couldn't go more than a day without it. One night about 3 months ago I felt conviction for the way I was living my life and literally cried out to God to intervene because I couldn't do it by myself. The next morning I had no desire for porn and it's been 3 months without any real temptation at all! I too know that God helped me because I had tried so many times to change things on my own but couldn't barely get through one day! He also removed my addiction to Marijuana which I've had no desire to smoke, after heavy use for about 6 years also. There's still more work I need to do, but God delivered me from those 2 things and restored our relationship so I can keep moving forward. Cry out to God and he will answer you!
Praise be to God!
God bless you, Amanda. You’re very brave. You responded to Gods grace by opening up your heart to Him and guess what.. He gave you not only healing but also the gift of repentance. I have my own struggles and I need humility to overcome them. I pray for your perseverance. Saint Mary Magdalene, pray for us..
@@johnarellano8212 thank you for the kind words may God bless you abundantly and St Mary Magdalene is my confirmation saint 😊 yes pray for us 🙏🏼
I’m so proud of you. Blessings to you. ❤
I truly understand what you meant. I had the same addiction since a teen maybe b4. I struggled hard. Last year in August (almost a year) I finally said ENOUGH! After God saved me from a drunken night And I slip up twice after but since Nov I haven’t had the urge and trust me the devil try to tempt me. BUT JESUS! He saved me and he kept me. I said I love him too much to ever go back. The spiritual warfare is real. Demonic attacks you name it. Praise the lord
Praise God 🙌🏼 keep up the good fight I will pray for you God bless!
Powerful testimony! Jesus is the chain breaker. Keep pursuing the Lord with all your heart. He set me free from addiction 11 years ago!
Hallelujah 🙌🏼 Praise God
Your honesty and courage in that testimony were inspiring. I can relate a lot to your testimony. I also grew up going to Catholic school but didn't know Jesus due to ignorance and worldly things. I am at the beginning of a journey to leave behind past addictions and walk with God instead of the world. I have actually left my life in London behind and am right now in the English countryside to make sure I can form a strong relationship with God before I carry on with my life again. The positive impact it has on other people with the same issues when people share in such a brutally honest way can't be understated; nothing is worth more than your eternal soul. Thank you for sharing it.
Keep seeking God He is a healer 🙏🏼 Hallelujah and I am so happy to hear your beginning this journey to walk with God I will be praying for you! Keep going don’t stop saying yes to God it will be the best decision of your life. God bless 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing your testimony. Praise God for your life.
Thank you for sharing.
I’ve had a similar thing on a small scale, I am stuck at home for a great deal of time with an autistic child. I had got so bad with boredom eating. I’ve tried of my own will to stop but I couldn’t. So only like a week or so ago I asked God to help with this and said I wanted to reduce something for him. Keep seeing people do all this fasting but I’m no where near able to do that yet. So I just asked to help me miss lunch and also stop all the snacking. Literally I started that day and have no food cravings out of boredom. It’s crazy, just gone 😊
Good testimony. You were very brave because your particular struggle is not an easy thing to talk about, especially for a woman. I can see that God has touched your life, changed your heart, and given you boldness and humility. Thank you for sharing. May God continue to bless you. 💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏
Thanks 🙏🏼 May God bless you too!
Those tears that you try to hold back give compation and hope for so many of us. That was so heartwarming. Bless you and thank you💙
Thank you sister God bless 🤍
So happy I came across this, I completely gave it to the Lord to help me stop drinking, instantly I found a peace come over me. I haven’t had a drink since. After years of trying on my own. God is good! 🙏🏻
Hallelujah 🙏🏼 Yes He is!
Dear sister you're so brave to share and it's so encouraging because so many people struggle with addiction and are desperate to get free! You'd like Todd White's testimony too and Dan Mohler sermon called love and forgiveness (has a picture of a heart on the video).
Absolutely true story if we our's Life submit to jesus Christ who given his Life to us will change forever more.
Thank you so much for your testimony! It’s very encouraging. May God bless and keep you (and everyone reading this) and keep you! ❤
God bless you 🙏🏼
Similar experience. Confession is such a beautiful and powerful sacrament. Glory to God!
Yes! Glory to God 🙏🏼 God bless!
Proud of you! Continue on the journey... Continue to repent daily. Keep striving and growing. Forgive yourself and others and keep moving forward! Read your scriptures and pray daily. Help others!
Only by the Grace of Jesus. The Truth, light and eternal life.
Thank you, I am going thru the exact thing myself, same struggles. You have helped me to pick myself up and seek him, God bless you 🎉🙏
Amazing happy to hear that! God’s way is the best way I wish I knew that earlier God bless you 🙏🏼
We are so proud of you! Your transparency and honesty is so powerful and touching. Well done princess of Almighty God🙏😍‼️
Thank you 🙏🏼 God bless!
Well spoken dear one. Thankyou for your testimony . God is our everything.
Thank the Lord and thank you! I prayed for help with this exact same problem and He sent me this video to listen to! God loves you!peace of the Lord be with you!
Praying for you 🙏🏼 God bless you!
Jesus is so real he has done things in my life that I still stand in awe and amazement. Please don’t wait until the last second to repent and to seek him for a relationship because one day he is coming and calling those he loves home. By my faith in him and my trust in him I believe I am one of them. So please stand strong and endure the battle of sin and remember we serve a God who conquered this world and if we are covered by him we to have conquered this world. Please seek his face and life will be given to you.
Glory to God!!🙌👏📖🙏💝
Jesus Christ died for all our sin and the moment we believe we are born again. He will never leave nor forsake us. By His blood we are saved. He is our mediator and lover of our soul. Love you sis! God bless.
Amanda that was a lovely confession, I to have had similar experiences. They are very time-consuming. Addiction is very difficult to lose. I’m so proud of you.
Dear Amanda, I have no words to thank you for this testimony, you have really edified me…I am a priest in the north of Italy in Ferrara and I know so many people struggling with these kind of addictions; only the Holy Spirit can set us free from the chains of Satan and from our nature always in need of something.
The enemy is always there ready to make us believe that God is not the answer of our problems…in fact He is our strength to overcome all difficulties. Thank you so much for the testimony and if I have your permission I will use your story as many others during sermons to help people in need. Good bless you Amanda and I will keep you in my prayers and please do the same for me. Ciao
Fr Giacomo
Yes of course you can share my testimony 🙏🏼 God bless you as well and I will be praying for you! Ciao
Amen sister in Christ. What a beautiful testimony. I just came across your video. This was definitely from Jesus. Just what I needed. I also struggle with porn addiction and lust. It's a daily battle, but I know God is in control, and nothing is impossible for God. Pray for you sister in Christ. God Bless you.🙏🙏🕊💖💜
Praying for you 🙏🏼 God bless you too!
@@journeytoholinesswithamanda thank you
Really powerful testimony, God Bless 🙏
God bless 🙏🏼
Sister, you are truly loved. Keep the faith
What a beautiful testimony and (believe it or not) very similar to me as an Australian dude growing up in the 80s! Catholic family, all boys school, porn presented as a way to educate yourself in the unknown, protestant friends inviting me to their church where I was struck by something different (people with the Spirit).
And the "sex before marriage is an older generation thing" was the SAME LIE we told ourselves in the 80s! I was able to stay pure and wait until marriage but I wasn't blessed/cursed with your level of physical beauty so it may have been easier for me. I thought you were college student aged and did a spit-take when you said "I didn't read the bible until my 30s"! Thanks for opening up about this, it was very encouraging and will help others in the same struggles.
Thanks 🙏🏼 God bless you!
Thank you for sharing x
Thank you for sharing your addiction. May god bless this testimony and bless others by sharing. For all fall short of glory of God.
I felt the power of God and his love from 1993.
God bless you for your honesty, obedient to share your testimony.
God is Love, you are the apple of His eye, that's how important and Loved you are. Remember there is NO condemnation for those who believe in Him, but who don’t believe already be condemned. God bless❤
Amen 🙏🏼God bless you
This was a great testimony, thank you for sharing. God bless 🙏
Thank you so much for sharing your testimony. I am so happy for you that God delivered you from addiction, that can be so hard. It is very encouraging and I am sure God will use your story to lead other people to Him. God bless you and I pray that He continues to build you up, protects you and uses you for great things. ❤🙏
Thank you 🙏🏼 God bless you!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful testimony Amanda, I struggled and overcame the same addiction. To God be the glory.
Hallelujah 🙏🏼
