Way of Purity Testimony: Makayla

My first encounter with porn was at the age of about seven or eight, when I found my brother's magazines under the bathroom sink. I looked through them and quickly put them back, not knowing what to think about them. Several years later, I was told in sex ed. that it was o.k. to self-please, and that priests and nuns did it, as well. The combination of these things set my insides spinning because, on one hand I had my mind telling me that it was o.k. and, on the other, my conscience telling me it was wrong. Little by little, I talked myself into giving in to my flesh, reasoning that if a nun does it, so can I. I did this for many years, until I went to a church where the pastor told me that any sex outside of marriage is a sin. I was horrified and shocked and, to my dismay, I could not stop on my own, although I tried many times over. Almost at the point of giving up on myself, and only by the grace of God, I found the website Settingcaptivesfree.com. I had never stuck to anything for sixty days before in my life but decided to try it, taking it one day at a time, and following the instructions. Glory to God, I did it! I'm Free! He did it for me, and He will do the same for you.
