Way of Purity Testimony: Regis Talbot

Hello, I'm Regis, and I've struggle to overcome an addiction to pornography for almost 40 years. I've shed many tears of despair as this addiction was making me miserable with guilt and self-loathing. I cried to God. On day, He showed me that if I wanted to become free, having an intimate relationship with Him was to become my top priority. He led me to the Way of Purity course, and each lesson became a time of face to face with God. Through it I learned the basic biblical truths necessary to know to remain free, and I received practical advice based on these truths. I had learned that I was crucified with Christ and made alive in Him. As I was completing lesson 42, the Spirit of God transformed my head knowledge into heart knowledge. That day, I knew God had set me free. Resisting temptation ceased to be a hopeless struggle. As I write this testimony, I've been free for two years and a half. I am now rejoicing in my God and enjoying reading and meditating the Word. God opens doors for me to serve rather than shutting them. I find my satisfaction in His Son.

Friend, if you've been hopelessly struggling against such an addiction for a long time, let me assure you freedom is possible. God granted me freedom after nearly 40 years. There is hope because He is the one who restores our heart.
