Brother Allen, I'm in tears hearing this today. I was literally pouring my heart out to a close friend of mine about how my shame has crippled me. An hour after that conversation, this sermon popped up I my feed. I don't know if another person is affected by this today, but rest assured. It broke my heart. And gave me some amazing ways to view my sin the way God views it. How arrogant and prideful of me to think that I know better than the Lord! He forgave me! But I won't forgive myself. Praise the Lord! There is no condemnation for me! Praise His Holy Name! May the Lord bless you today, specifically for blessing my heart. Thank you, brother. 🙏 ✝️ ❤️

This was so helpful!!! Ive been stuck in condemnation for 20 plus years, feeling like a step child to God. Ive confessed many many times, I truly have repented BUT have not accepted Gods forgiveness or mercy. I felt I was not worthy. Im going to pray to God and ask Him for His help. I will keep this video handy to help remind me! Thank you.

Join me in this prayer. The more that pray it the stronger it gets. Pray God’s will be done on this earth as it is in heaven. Pray God protects and blesses the children. Pray for the truth to be revealed. Pray God lifts the scales from the lukewarm and lost eyes, opens their ears and soften their hearts. Pray God strengthens His children, gives them more discernment, pours more Fire on them and wakes them up. Pray the end times harvest will increase. Pray God exposes the evil people and brings them to justice ✅

This came to me at the PERFECT moment thank you 😢 I am married now and pregnant with our first kid. We did it right. Didn’t even kiss before marriage to prevent temptation. But, men from my s*xual past keep messaging me and trying to talk about it and even thank me for it and I’m not replying to any of them but it keeps hitting me with absolute disgust toward my past and I have to block their numbers. Hormones from my pregnancy are hitting hard on top of this shame and I’ve been crying for over half of today about this and how much I’ve hurt God and ruined my body. Thank you so much, I cried again when this video popped up today because it just came out today as well. Thank you, God bless you and your ministry

[VinceOlson]

Thank you Brother Allen. I needed to hear this today. I'm having struggles overcoming my addiction to porn and my struggles with lust.

I began dating a girl recently who I felt strongly convicted by God to tell about my past sexual sins. It took guts but i trusted that God would help her process it and would not punish me for being transparent with her up front. She told me not too long ago that she knew in the moment I opened up to her, that she could trust me. She told me that it was that moment that she knew she could love me. You NEED to be open with you S/O. It will only become harder the longer you wait. Remember that God will always love you and He cares about your relationships.

[freightdog]

I am so ashamed about myself, I don't even want to comment on this subject. I thank you for this eye opener.

Im currently 19 and ive done some very sexual perverted things not to anyone else but to myself and with past partners in public and in private not to be seen but simply because I didn’t have self control, the self control to Wait till marriage and it sucks it makes me regret it so bad pray for me I been saved since 2020 but man shame is horrible.

[shaunpjmaleka]

I have listen to this before but this time around this hit different. I think I trusted myself more in overcoming my own sexual sin, I leaned more on my own righteousness to try to be more pure and not let go of the things that I have

[Jesussaves.]

We are Saved by Grace Through faith in Christ Alone. Amen ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏 Hallelujah. Thank You Jesus. Praise GOD. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ.

[RanaTerrellCsIt]

Hallelujah!

It is because of Christ Jesus that we are forgiven and set free!

This video is confirmation for me. Been set free for seven years and counting.

Thank you, Allen, for letting God use you by making this video.

I pray that this will set a lot of people free.

Edited to add: this was the Scripture that helped me: “as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭103‬:‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

[alisarye]

Beautiful and powerful! After my history of sexual sin and struggles with pornography I struggled to move on from that shame and guilt. I knew God had forgiven me but I couldn’t forgive myself because I felt that I knew better. I struggled for about 5 years and after sharing everything with my now spouse, my heart began to renew. That intensity of the pain began to dissolve and I’m way more open with sharing the truth of how sexual sin can impact you.

[derrickmccann]

Thank you for telling us this educational lesson about Guilty and Shame about your Past.

[susandelongis]

I give thanksgiving to God for you, Brother. As a 68 yr old Catholic, I’ve never heard this message preached, let alone like this. The Lord is touching my heart, healing my mind and freeing my soul through you. God bless and protect you and your holy ministry always. 🙏

[alvincobbs]

God is a forgiving God. No sin that he will not forgive

[trisilachyne]

Jesus Christ take away my guilt and shame, Lord please forgive my sins and heals me from pain, please pray for me

[ChiefCedricJohnson]

Psalms 73:26
My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

[absolutely_entirelyforHimalone]

Four years after Christ rescued me from my sexual sin, I have finally accepted my new identity in Christ. I held on so tightly to the sins of my past and I brought them into my present. I let them determine who I am. I saw myself as a ruined woman, beyond redemption, beyond fixing, beyond fixing, unworthy of relationships - despite all the Scripture that says otherwise. I didn't accept that I was no longer condemned. I passionately believed that I would remain single for the rest of my life because of those sexual sins, that I had enough sex to last me several lifetimes. But God....He spoke through someone, and it finally clicked. What I did is not who I am. Do I still struggle with temptation to sin sexually? Absolutely. But I have a new name - I am redeemed. Worthy and deserving of love. I am restored. A child of God. I am free, hallelujah, I am free.
Hear me, those who are suffering from your sexual sin - you are not your past. You're not. If Christ is in your heart and you have repented and you're listening and following Jesus and you've left your sin behind - you are His new creation. What you've done does not define who you are today.

[anthonyadams]

Thank you Brother Allen, this was huge confirmation for me. Thank you for letting God use you man. God Bless you!

[alvinkeverenge]

Always a blessing to hear such truth on sexual sin.
