Lesson 37 Washing At The Cross: From Death to Life
Testimony
Erik writes, "The principles taught in the Setting Captives Free Purity course have been helpful to me. It all starts with going to the cross and allowing Jesus to wash you clean of your sin. There is no way you can defeat this sin on your own. I've tried and failed miserably for years. Then you walk by the Spirit, getting to know Him more intimately. Through this, He allows you to war against the flesh so that you deny yourself every day and change your mindset into thinking how you can glorify His Kingdom.
I now thirst to know God more. I have never read the Bible in such a way that every passage points to the cross. Setting Captives Free has done a beautiful job of continually bringing me to the cross and allowing me to give it all to Jesus. I now have a new perspective when it comes to sin. I know that there is nothing I can do to earn my forgiveness, and yet Jesus Christ paid it all for me. I am fighting this battle, knowing that the victory is already won; that is such an incredible feeling to have!
While taking this course, I went to an accountability group every Friday in which all the other members have gone through the Setting Captives Free course. We all talk about the basic foundational principles and how we are to walk in the Light. I want to become a mentor through Setting Captives Free because I want to help others experience the true freedom I now walk in every day.
I absolutely recommend this course! This course has truly been life-changing. I was in bondage to this terrible sexual impurity sin, and I had no way out. The Devil had gotten me to a place where I was leading in church and helping others free themselves of their sin, and yet I denied the fact that I was trapped and desperately needed help. I was lying to myself and all my loved ones around me. But, praise God, I got to a point where all my sin was publicly exposed, and I was humbly broken before God. It was the worst couple of months in my life, but by the grace of God, a mentor introduced me to Setting Captives Free, and my journey of fleeing from this sinful life and running towards the cross every day began.
I live in true freedom every day now, and I would love to see others experience this. The weight of this sin has been lifted off of my shoulders and placed on Jesus at the cross. If you are struggling with pornography and/or sexual impurity, take this course. It will change your life, and it will be one of the best decisions you could have ever made."
