Let's start from the beginning...
Deciding to become celibate is a beautiful thing, but the newness of this journey was not easy. It took a lot for me to grasp the understanding of the experience I was about to embark upon. In the church, I always heard that holiness is still right, and we have to live our lives according to the Word of God. But we were never actually given instruction or taught how to. As a teenager, I was exposed to pornography as well as had my experience of self-pleasure and even playing house with close friends.
If you just allow me to be transparent and honest for those who struggle with such as we all have at one point in our lives struggled with something. I want to walk you through real life and not just another good read for the topic.
I grew up in a religious household with both of my grandparents on my mom and dad's side. One was a Reverend and the other a Minister of Music. Thus, I was always surrounded by sounds of worship music, prayer and hearing the Word of God while in church and home.
In June 2004 after coming from Tuesday night prayer service, the move of God was heavy to the point of crying out to God to take control of my life and have all of me. I wanted Him to fill me with His precious Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. It is something when you're in the presence of the Lord. Things within you shift and move your entire being.
