Door of Hope Testimony: Kobus

Well, to start off, thanks to God for my mentor Tabb Forbes who stood by me the past few months. May God unlock heaven for you while still on earth, and give you everything your heart desire. Be blessed man, because you are a blessing.

My journey with Setting Captives Free actually started about 15 months ago. I was bound by habitually watching gay porn and self gratification and while being in church, leading the worship on Sundays, one of the greatest hypocrites on earth.

I started the Way to Purity course and went through it successfully. Thinking back, it did help me to stay pure, as I never gratified my flesh again since I started. There was however one instance that totally hit me between the eyes as I was caught off guard and I decided that I need to make sure to get free from anything related to homosexuality.

That is why I decided to take the Door of Hope course to make sure that there is no room left for sin.

As I continued with the course I realized a few great truths. One was that homosexuality is not a sickness from which you must be healed or a limb that you need to get used to; it is sin and it doesn’t matter how you call it, it remains sin. Another truth: it doesn’t matter what happened in my past; I can sing history songs till I am blue in the face but I still remains responsible for the sin in my life and I had to seriously attend to it. Another truth is that I realized what it is to remain in Christ; to walk in the Spirit so that the lust of the flesh cannot overcome me.

And now I am experiencing another dimension of God’s greatness:
Words that in the past would just be lyrics of a song which we sung endless times, starts to burn within me true meaning and I start to be overwhelmed with joy and anointing. God is becoming a reality for me; living within me; speaking behind me; and standing over me when darkness draw near. He became my true meaning in life and there is no life for me outside of God.

He restores my heart, my mind, my marriage, my wife, my family and my faith in Him and I can’t stop praising Him for that.

Thank you, Setting Captives Free, for helping me to find God and thru Him true freedom.

Special thanks to my wife who still stands by me. The pain I caused you is a huge offer that you offered. Thank you for that. I love you so much.
