Oh, how I wish my dad was here to hear this testimony. After he passed, I learned of his struggles and was heartbroken. He struggled with this very thing, was living with a man and left the church due to shame. I can only pray that pop is with the Lord, half of me believes he is, the other half doesn't. It's a horrible thing to think your earthly father may not be with the Lord. But. God gives me the strength and peace that regardless of this, He still loves me and is by my side.
A deliverer He is ! We were all born into sin. That doesn’t mean we are to live in it. That’s the reason for sending His son Jesus-to save you and lost daughters-as I was before I accepted His love and forgiveness. I thank god that you heard His voice and gave a gift in exchange for His gift of eternal life. I love praise and worship. I want to be bold enough to use it to draw others to Christ in the mist of my journey to deliverance. I thank God for you and the endurance to fight for a freedom that not only set you free but will essentially do the same for many who will hear your story. FYI, I do not struggle with homosexuality but the the mental battles that I face is just as daunting. Your testimony gives me hope. Your song gives me strength. Great Is the Lord Almighty!!! He Reigns SUPREME ! Therefore I keep my mind stayed on Him. To Him be ALL glory and honor. 🙏🏾Thank you .
This is such an amazing testimony. I want to hear more. I don't struggle with homosexuality, I do struggle with my identity because of severe bullying, at school and at home. To be set free from the damaged image.
I too struggled with my identity because of severe bullying, at school and at home. Complete with a lack of love, so I sought it in various ways. After getting saved, God set me free from that.
I’m listening to this again Dennis and that definition of self that I don’t call myself what Father doesn’t call me, brings tears to my eyes brother. You don’t know what an eternal impact your life has had on mine.
Such a powerful testimony! May it be an inspiration to anyone else struggling with this issue or any other seemingly insurmountable issue. Your music is wonderful!!
I loved Keith Green AND 2nd Chapter of Acts too! I used to sing their songs as prayers to God because I didn't think He could hear me...Anne Herring spoke to me just like she did to you! I saw them live in concert at Kansas State University in 1982..My life changed forever... Dennis Jernigan, I LOVE your If I Could Just Sit With You Awhile and When I Fell In Love With You! Thank you so much!
Thank you SO MUCH Dennis for sharing what Jesus did for you! Your testimony of what Jesus ultimately did for you, ripped at my "heart strings" giving me hope that Jesus can heal me of my bondage of sin. I love what you said at the end of how only God identifies me of who I really am, and that is what God says throughout His Word of who I am "in Jesus Christ"! That really ministered to me. I love so many of your songs! They really minister to me! God bless you! God has used you to minister to me!
Awesome testimony!.... The Father's Love is so amazing, nothing can indeed withstand it . Our struggles in life most times are testimonies to build faith in others going through same that God's love never fails. It always comes through. He is mighty to save no matter what. I love Jesus 💞💞💞
Dennis, I'm so glad to have heard your testimony. More importantly, I'm glad that you have allowed our Father to minister thru you. If you ever come to north Alabama (soon), please look me up. I'd love to talk cause I know quite a few that share similar situations as yours.
Thank you for this video. Why does it only have 94 views?!?!? This should have a few million it is so edifying so encouraging such a life changing testimony!!!
Today I saw your testimony and it gave me hope, my brother is gay and I have been praying for him a lot of years. I trust in the power of Jesus and I keep waiting and praying until see a miracle. I am from Costa Rica. God bless you and thanks for share your story
What an awesome God we serve. What a powerful testimony. Thank You, Lord for setting Dennis Jernigan free. Thank You, Lord for gifting him with music and songwriting. What an inspiration he has been. Thank you, Dennis for sharing your testimony. I have a brother who was set free from homosexuality. Praise God
"Only my Father gets to define me". How many of those struggling with homosexuality are pushed away from God by feeling the condemnation that the church has put on them, even inadvertently, giving them the hopeless lie that God does not love them, so they give up and give in. We need to do better.
It’s definitely an issue that has been neglected for too long. And the church wonders why homosexuality is on the rise. Christian’s need to humble themselves
Wow! Amazing! Dennis, Inever knew this. ... you & I are around the same age, I came out of lesbianism in August 1981, I knew Jesus loved & accepted me yet for decades struggled with the lifestyle (I was finally totally delivered in November 2006. The LORD completely took the desire for women away from me). The only difference is I've never married nor been pregnant. I heard about you back in the 90's and have always admired you because I could honestly relate to this deep, dark struggle and trying to get help within the church during the 80's. Let's just say I practiced up on doing lots of forgiving and praying blessings on those that hurt me. I got in some pretty good practice, come to think of it! I'm also a natural musician. I do read music too, however, and I'm also a songwriter as you are. So running into this and listening to your testimony just now has blessed me so much more than I ever would have guessed! I have no idea whether you'll be reading this or not but this has been a real treat for me! It's not only made my day but it's made my entire work! God Bless you, your family & ministry. 🥰❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏😀
Brother, your story hit home! It’s so similar to mine. It took me years battling my flesh, but the Father had me all along. May God bless and keep you!
So blessed to have met you in Texas at Aldersgate UMC. Your ministry and testimony are so powerful and have given hope, life, and freedom to so many men and women struggling with such a debilitating issue. God bless you!! We love you - I love you!!
The ending of a matter, is so much better than it's beginning; in Christ Jesus.♥️✝️🕊️ Can I tell you that I heard a tender hearted man in songs I heard of yours, in the early ninties...♥️✝️🕊️ And that's beautiful!♥️✝️🕊️ Only The Father gets to define who I am; no truer words could be spoken there...,♥️✝️🕊️ I had only heard two of your songs; Daddy's Song, & If I Could Just Sit With You, Awhile "; someone shared them with me at work, and I've never forgotten them...♥️✝️🕊️ Yesterday, I wanted to sing them to The Father; couldn't recall every word, so I told Him/Daddy, that these were the songs I wanted to sing to Him, but I'd never had success ever to find them; didn't know who wrote them, just that they each lived in my heart, all these years; whenever I needed to be Loved by Him, or to express to Him how much I needed, and loved Him...♥️ If I could just sit with You, awhile...♥️ - sniff... Anyway, this time, I heard Holy Spirit say to me; "why don't you try seeking it one more time"... Unlike other times, when I typed in lyrics; there they were!!🥲♥️✝️🕊️ It's so nice to finally meet you and your beautiful soul; Dennis, my precious brother in Jesus.♥️✝️😇 Thank you for sharing your heart and soul, and giving us a glimpse into The Father's heart of pure Love.♥️✝️🕊️ ~Shalom!♥️✝️🕊️
Jesus told me, just because your Dad never told you he loved you, does not mean you did not love him. I was looking at the worth of my love based on my Dad's lack of love for me.
Thank you for this beautiful honest vulnerable true testimony. We love your music. I’m planning on using some of it at my homegoing celebration. I’m praying it will touch the hearts and lives of those unsaved members of my family. 💕🙏🏻
I was exposed to male sexuality in school. As girls weren't really interested in me. I then went thro the exploration with many men. Then many years later, I got involved with girls. I got saved in 1990, an after that, I had no inclination or interest in male sexuality any more. So after a lifetime of abhorrant sexuality. I eventually settled down, an finally married a woman who was just rite for me. We are still together after 29 yrs. Although she now has Dementia, I have some health issues, but I love her to bits! As we had many years of being together, serving various ministries an my being involved in music ministries. Thank you Jesus.
I love you!!! Your realness is beautiful! What a mess in society currently with not accepting God order in sexuality. God is good and perfect desiring the BEST for all that come to Him.♥️
Thank you Dennis for sharing his real story, very touch! I will do streaming live tomorrow (19th July 2020) introduce the song “ You are my all in all “ I loved 💕 to Chinese people. Take care Dennis!
I've always been wondering "is homosexuality curable?". But sir, your powerful testimony let me know how unfaithful I am. I gave up on myself because of my bad temper, depression. If the homosexuality is curable, I can really believe that I can be born again in spirit, mind, and body. God can do everything. How foolish I forgot that.
It’s a process for most. But yes, God can deliver you. It may take years or decades, but never give up. Don’t force it, just continue to give yourself to Jesus and he will heal you. You may relapse but just dust yourself off and keep on. Never give up trying.
Please pray for my daughter who is living a homosexual lifestyle, and also claims to be a witch. I gave my children back to God when they were brand new, and I trust that God will deliver her!! Thank you for your prayers.
No sin can keep us separated from Gods mercy and love but the the sin of rejecting Jesus as redeemer. Today is the day of salvation! 2 Corinthians 6:2 There is salvation in no other.. Acts 4:12
Amen! Your song, Dennis, All In All was the theme song for the mountain, cabin church, Cody Park where I used to attend & my husband & I sang it for years at nursing homes! God keep blessing you! Darla Carpenter 🎵🙏🙏🙏

🙏🏾Thank you .
Please pray for my son. He’s 15 and claims to be homosexual. We’ve been fighting for his soul since before he was born.
There's nothing wrong with your son. You're a horrible parent for telling him so
This is a hard story. Oh dear God - your healing. What would we do without it? Thank you Dennis and American Family group.
This testimony could be the testimony of my best friend’s daughter. Praying that she listens to the voice of her Savior and not the toxic demons…❤
Thank you for sharing your testimony. May it touch many, many lives and help those bound by the enemy. So powerful! ❤️
Do you see this? This honesty is what will save us. Absent this, we are lost
This testimony touched me so deeply. I know this was not easy but think of all those searchers you may have helped. God bless you now & forever!
This is such an amazing testimony. I want to hear more. I don't struggle with homosexuality, I do struggle with my identity because of severe bullying, at school and at home. To be set free from the damaged image.

“I don’t get to call myself anything that the Father doesn’t call me”. Hallelujah. That’s one of my favorite things you’ve shared Dennis.

15:01 "There were no songs that addressed my issue." That was one of the most powerful lines I have ever heard from a testimony
Dennis, I'm so glad to have heard your testimony. More importantly, I'm glad that you have allowed our Father to minister thru you. If you ever come to north Alabama (soon), please look me up. I'd love to talk cause I know quite a few that share similar situations as yours.
Wow! I'm blown away by this honest testimony, knowing full well how victory can be within reach. I bless you, Dennis, I thank you. Shalom
