Lesson 11: Walking by the Spirit

Testimonies of Freedom

Travis's Testimony

Since taking the Setting Captives Free Purity Boot Camp course, Christ has become real in my life. Jesus has revealed Himself, and I have been drawn near to Him. I am learning to trust Him in all things. Being in communion with Christ has been the most significant change and the most important piece in overcoming my bondage to sin. Previously, I felt without purpose, but now I have it. God has called me to lead my children to Jesus, love my wife as Christ loves me, and be a gospel witness to others. Second, I am newly aware of the magnitude of Jesus dying on the cross. Reading that receiving salvation, freedom, eternal life, and a Father who loves me is not earned but given as an inheritance has changed my perspective on this gift. Third, I am committed to learning how to love and serve my wife. Abandoning the selfish desires, I was living by and replacing those with a heart of service. I still struggle in this trying to balance work, spending time with my kids, and being available for my wife to spend quality time. But I am working on setting up a daily schedule where time is specifically set aside for being thoughtful towards my wife. Fourth, I have begun to communicate more honestly with my wife. We are sharing what we need from each other more regularly and refusing to bottle up emotions. We recently renewed our vows for our tenth anniversary, and these vows are a new roadmap for us. I am working on reviewing each vow and discovering how to apply it permanently to my life. Fifth, I am actively warring against my flesh. I have been praying for God to reveal a specific plan that I must follow. I want to find freedom in and a relationship with Jesus. I am finding success by adding in a battle strategy to avoid and flee from temptation. I recommend this course. It is life-changing in ways that you need to experience to be able to understand fully.
