The Devil Had Me Bound But Jesus Set Me Free!

PORNOGRAPHY, HOMOSEXUALITY & EVIL SPIRITS & THE DEVIL HAD ME BOUND BUT JESUS SET ME FREE

TORJUS FJÅSELUND was bound by demons of perversion and pornography, evil spirts and completely controlled by the Devil - then JESUS delivered him by the Powe of His shed Blood

God hates our sin but He loves us - what a glorious truth that is.

Leonard Laboucan and I were traveling on a train from Southern Norway heading to Drammen when Torjus spotted me. He is an impressive figure about 6 feet 4 inches tall and in good shape.

PORNOGRAPHY, HOMOSEXUALITY & EVIL SPIRITS & THE DEVIL HAD ME BOUND BUT JESUS SET ME FREE

He said, “Pastor Max Solbrekken, I attended your crusade in Drammen and your prayers to God liberated me and set me on fire for God. You see, I was a homosexual until I was 25 - bound by evil spirits of perversion and would have committed suicide if I had not been brought up to know that those who knowingly kill themselves will go to hell!

I got introduced to the horrible, unnatural lifestyle of homosexuality, pornography and evil spirits while in the army, just after High School. I thought it was normal and right for me, but it turned out to be a living hell! The life of homosexuality and pornography is like being raped continually by the devil!

HOMOSEXUALITY & PORNOGRAPHY IS A COMPLETE AND TOTAL PERVERSION. IT WAS NOT MEANT FOR A HUMAN BEING. IT IS THE WORK OF UNCLEAN SPIRITS, YES AND THE DEVIL HIMSELF

This continual rape by Satan of my mind, thoughts, emotions and will had me so bound I didn’t know how to get free.

I could not stand the life I was leading. I could not stand the life of homosexuality, and of pornography and sexual perversion and the devil, Satan controlling my life and my soul.

I CRIED OUT TO GOD, HELP ME - I AM NO LONGER A MAN - I DON'T WANT TO BE HOMOSEXUAL OR CONTROLLED BY PORNOGRAPHY AND THE DEVIL

Then one day I cried out to God, “This is not normal. I am no longer a man. This lifestyle cannot be pleasing in your eyes. I would kill myself to get out of this misery but I know that my punishment would be greater in Hell than this torment I am now going through. Please help me”!

After praying to God, I decided to read the Bible which had been given to me as a child. A love for the truth gripped me and I realized that my lifestyle was in total conflict to the words of Jesus and I received “a glimmer of hope” from reading the Bible.

I WENT TO TALK TO A 'PROFESSOR OF RELIGION' at the UNIVERSITY OF OLSO

I read where the Bible says that homosexuality is “against nature” (Romans 1: ), so I decided to speak to a ‘Professor of Religion’ in the University of Oslo, when I was studying philosophy and English.

THE PROFESSOR OF RELIGION SAID THAT ONCE YOU ARE A HOMOSEXUAL YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A HOMOSEXUAL - THERE IS NO WAY OUT

This was the autumn of 1983. He dashed my hope with his remarks. He was also a homosexual and once you are, there is no way out. He said that homosexuals are born that way and it was my lot in life.

I BECAME DEPRESSED & SUICIDAL - THE DEVIL, SATAN THE EVIL ONE WAS WILLING TO BATTLE WITH ME

I now became more depressed and suicidal, but I decided to attend the State Church (Lutheran) on the campus. There I met some Christians who were different. They met for prayer in their homes and I was invited to attend one of these prayer services.

AT THE PRAYER SERVICE I ASKED THEM TO PRAY FOR ME TO BE RID OF MY HOMOSEXUAL & EVIL SPIRITS PROBLEMS.

After the prayer, I asked them to pray for me, including my homosexual problem. One of the men anointed my forehead with oil and prayed a short and direct prayer. I didn’t feel any different then but in the morning, I was a new person. My mind was normal and I felt like a man again. I was 110% man for the first time in about 7 years. It was wonderful.

I experienced the striking power of the Lord.

When I was 25 my life was over. I knew what this earthly life was all about, I had taken part in the so-called pleasures of the world. I was a homosexual and had hit bottom. If I hadn’t feared “something” after death I’m convinced I would have committed suicide.

In the end I was desperate, and one day I fell down on my knees and cried out to God that He must help me. I couldn’t take it anymore.

Two weeks later I got in touch with some true Christians. I attended a Miracle Crusade held by Max Solbrekken in Drammen, Norway. These people knew Christ and were born again. After a while I talked to one of them, Pastor Max Solbrekken, and told him about my problems. He offered to pray for me and ask God to wipe out my awful past. Just before he began to pray I asked him to include my homosexuality. He dipped his finger in oil, made a cross on my forehead, put his hand there and said a short prayer.

Nothing happened there and then. I left his place, went home and went to bed. When I woke up the next morning, however, there was a change! I was 110% man!

It is difficult to explain, but it felt like I had had the most thorough bath. It included all of me - I was completely clean and fresh and whole, full of strength.

Many years have passed. God has built me up again and it has taken lots of energy, will, courage, patience and perseverance. At the moment God miraculously healed me I was nothing but a wreck. And as I knew neither God nor myself (I was a complete stranger to myself) I have had to learn many lessons. There has been a price to pay, but today I love Jesus with all of my heart and I am the happiest man alive.

JESUS CAN SET YOU FREE OF HOMOSEXUALITY, PERVERSION, EVIL SPIRITS OF PORNOGRAPHY. IF YOU ARE A MURDERER, PROSTITUTE, CHILD-ABUSER JESUS CAN HELP.

Words cannot express the love and compassion Jesus has for you who read this testimony. If you are a murderer, prostitute, child-abuser, hypocrite, 'normal' person, whatever - It doesn’t matter. He loves you. And He wishes to get in touch with you to recreate your life totally.

Struggling Alone with Pornography

A female student talks about her addiction to pornography.

By Jennifer M.

I am 18 years old, with an independent nature and sometimes shy persona. I grew up all my life in the church. When the newly formed contemporary worship team invited me to play the drums, I finally found my place in the church. Life was pretty good, but I felt empty.
Later in high school the emptiness grew and my curiosity grew to find something, anything to satisfy me. First I turned to petty things, like stealing cigarettes from my abusive uncle. But that wasn't strong enough to distract me from life and fill that emptiness. I wouldn't give up that easily. I'm Jennifer, as strong as steel and I will get what I want. As a computer geek, I could access a lot of things that the average person would have no clue about how to do. I found what I wanted, and I got what I wanted. Pornography.
Before you knew it, I was addicted. This disease was not a replacement for sex in my life... in fact, I was a virgin and still am. It was simply something to fill up the emptiness I felt in my life. When I was sad, when I had a bad day, I could simply go into my room, shut the doors, and feel better again. And it was free. It was harmless. No one would know. Every time I turned to the internet, what I lusted after would eventually not be enough. Like drug addicts going after harder and harder drugs, I had to go after harder sources of fulfillment. It never ended until God stepped in.
I don't really know when, or why, or how (besides the much-needed intervention of God), but one day I came to the sudden realization about how screwed up my life was. My father used to smoke, and he quit smoking COLD. No patches, no gradual cut down. That's what I knew I had to do. I discovered that God was the only thing that could heal my emptiness. I deleted EVERYTHING off my computer. All the web pages, all the videos, all the passwords, everything that would lead me back down the path that had labeled me a disgusting person. Harmless curiosity so easily turned to addiction.
Soon after, I went on a Christian retreat. I was excited, but I didn't expect the life changing effect it would have on me. That weekend I rededicated my life to Jesus Christ. This means that I said to God once again: I want to live for you, totally and completely. I want to be a new creation (2Cor. 5:17), transformed by the love you have shown me. I know that I have done many wrong things, and even the righteous things that I do are not worthy of you (Isaiah 64:6). But I also know that God saved us because of His mercy, not because of things we had done (Titus 3:4-5). So from that day on, I make a commitment to God saying that what He thinks would be more important than what the world thinks or I think, and that all that I do will be for His glory, things that He wants me to do.
The love that I experienced at the retreat was the thing that won me over. I knew that God loved me... but this much?! I was surrounded by people I didn't know that were serving me left and right, praying for me, giving me advice, and expressing the love they had for me. But why did they love me, complete strangers? The Bible says that "we love because He first loved us" (I John 4:19). They loved me because they felt God's love for them. And now that I feel God's love for me, I want to share it with the world as well! In addition to the love, I experienced worship music in a way I never have before. I grew closer to old Christian friends and made new ones. After that weekend, Jesus was shining in face and in my actions. Every day I have found reason to praise God... there was no emptiness left in me. No anger. No loneliness. No sadness. No fear. In Psalms 119:62 it says, "At midnight I rise to give you thanks for your righteous laws."
That's how I feel right now. I feel like rising in the middle of the night, just to praise God and worship Him for the change that He's brought in me and my friends. You can never be too young or too old to change because of God. "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity" (1Tim. 4:12).
Today. Today give yourself up to God -- fully and completely. You have nothing to lose, and eternal life to gain. Paul says, "For the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23). Take that offer and run. Run to God because you are His and always will be. When the whole world has turned away from you, He will be there, because He is, was, and is to come. And He loves you.
