I knew there was a God, but I did not know Jesus Christ personally. When I was 18 years old, I was introduced to methamphetamines. This is when I realized that I could prostitute my body for drugs, so I continued to do that for years. In 2016, I checked into a Christian rehab facility, and I now celebrate three years of sobriety.

My name is Dillon, I am 29 years old, and I was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska. For the past 15 years, my life has been one that has been addicted to drugs, alcohol, sexual immorality and my own sexual identity. I grew up in a very violent, drug addicted household, and from an early age I was introduced to pornography. I was very young, and I remember as a child, probably 8, 9, or 10, acting out things that I saw on TV, not really knowing what I was doing. At this time in my life, the Lord was not present at all. Around age 12, my older brother and two of my older cousins sexually molested me. This went on for about maybe a year and a half. I know today that I am not a victim, I am a victor in Christ Jesus.

So with all that to be said, I came to Christ For the Nations in 2019, and the Lord has been walking me through this process of deliverance. The enemy tried to stop the will of God for my life by trying to make me think that I was born a homosexual man. However, I know today that I am a new creation. In 2 Corinthians 5:17 it states, “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old is gone, the new has come.” I thank the Lord for the Restoration Center, Pastor Cristiane and Pastor Joel, because I did not realize that I had an orphaned spirit. I did not realize all the soul ties I had made through this lifestyle … BUT Glory to God, I am free!

My dad went to prison, and he found Christ. I went one way, thinking that my life was supposed to be about drugs, sex, porn, violence and then my dad came home and everything changed. But because my dad’s and my relationship was not good, I rebelled against him—ultimately against God. So I would act out in sexual ways, and I would have sex ZLWK PHQ WR ÀOO WKDW YRLG WKDW ZDV OHIW E\ P\ FRXVLQV molestation. This caused a lot of turmoil in my heart, because I thought I was born this way. CFNTheVoice.com 21
