In this episdode, we discuss same sex attraction and loving Jesus. Want to book me to speak? carewellington.com Socials: @rashadverme @carew_ellington
“How can people heal if they don’t even believe that their sick” what a spirit filled conversation, so many gems and wisdom . Shout out to both of you brothers
As someone that has struggled with this for my entire life, it is such a blessing to hear creators talking more about it & being open and honest. Praise God
You struggle for acceptance, not because of your orientation. There is nothing wrong with your orientation. There is something wrong with these two’s understanding of it.
Awe man. I needed to hear this. I felt like straight tugged in my spirit when hearing this. I was dealing with same sex attraction ever since I was small & its a testimony that I need stated @ it’s given time. But man I truly identified, with being bi/gay. I had relations with 50+ people @ the age of 19. Earlier in the weeks, I was in the ER after I could no longer tolerate bowel pain after falling into sin, days earlier when I was meant to go to a missions trip. And God’s so loving & compassionate to not let me go to that trip so when I go I can truly save souls, not suffer the pain I was going through if I were going to go. And that same thing our brother brought up, is the world tells us to experience if you like it, and I did it by trial & error. Until I ended up liking it but I was diagnosed with Herpes & Syphillis but even in that ER before church because I had to play that same day. I thank God for being there with me & God let’s us suffer our own consequences, God is not mocked. Pray for my soul, my being because even after being treated, its habits in me that pleasure feels good that I keep doing it , when I what makes me feel whole & clean is living in the spirit with God :)
Homosexuality is a healthy natural sexual orientation with an evolutionary meaning. If it was caused by psychological influences, it could be changed to heterosexual in a therapy, but it cant. Thats what we know for sure. So its innate. Why did it come up in evolution? There is a permanent share of 90-96% heterosexuals and 4-10% share of homosexuals in all living beings with sexuality since 385 million years. The reason is the evolutionary advance through several factors, for example: Same-sex sexuality evolved by natural selection because it created or strengthened male-male alliances and female-female alliances and mutual social benefit to all the animals in the tribe, better survive better defense, better social interaction. There are interesting studies about it. I wish for you that you find a loving same-sex partner, marry and maybne raise kids in responsibility.
This is SOOOOOOOOO strong! So strong. Thank you guys for your witness, your testimony, your willingness to be vulnerable for God. This testimony and this witness is representative of so many of us. Thank you for being willing to stand for God.
If you are gay and reading this, God loves you. You don’t have to believe everything you believe and see here on TH-cam. Their story is not representative of everyone’s story. God bless.
wow, glory to God, watching it through and so blessed man by this!! yo the "no, it just means that God can use anything"!! ouff, the bit about platforms was so good, needed to hear that. God bless y'all for your testimony, super duper blessed by it man!!!❤🔥
Thank you both for this video. Thank you so much Rashad for your testimony!.This is showing me that I truly need to read the bible. Instead of being lukewarm because God has guided me to this video. That having homosexual desires and the desire to be trans is against God. Thank you God for showing me this man’s testimony Amen!!. God bless you both!🙏❤
Incredible testimony. I am so beyond grateful and proud of you two awesome men of God. What a faith restoring, deep, real and timely discussion of truth and the power of repentance May the Lord continue to preserve and bless you both. Keep up the good fight brothers. I love y'all !!
14:22 Finally, somebody said it. I thought it was just me that had picked up on it but yes, Atlanta definitely has a principality or principalities (plural) of homosexuality dominating over the city (region). I discerned this a while back. Rashad is accurate in pointing that out. Church, we’ve got to pray!!

I deeply needed this. Heart,mind body and especially soul. I have been trying to fight homosexuality for a long time. I really feel like I can give it to Jesus. The embarrassment is hitting me but Ik it’s worth it. Ik that Jesus is with me. Thank Jesus for the both of you!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Yesss Jesus!! Before I came to Christ I struggled with homosexuality, transgenderism, and witchcraft. But my mother was steady and firm in Christ and at the time I had no idea how right she was. She would tell us about Sodom and Gomorrah and how homosexuality is an evil demonic thing. I used to think she was cruel and homophobic and how dare she not love her kid for who they (very mistakenly thought they) were. But oh God is good. My mother’s faith is what led me back to Christ Jesus. How right she was! My eyes have been opened to the rampant evil the enemy is trying to pollute our children with. There is no compromise for a Christian. You can’t be gay and a Christian, trust me, I thought you could. All glory be to God Most High. Jesus loves you all and wants to deliver you. May God bless you all 🫶
14:07 I’ve never heard principalities being described in this way, but he’s absolutely correct about Chicago having a murder spirit, Alaska having a suicide spirit and Atlanta having a gay spirit, that is so true. There’s also spirits of addiction ravishing many states and cities right now such as Philadelphia and Seattle.
@@carew_ellington Yea, how 'holy' for you to call gay people 'children of satan'. How nice it must be to be a total jackass and total bigot and just blame 'God' for all your nasty rhetoric?
this podcast was fire!! i struggled with lustful sin for years and when i gave my life to Jesus i stopped watching p*rn and having the desire for it. i am forever grateful to God for saving me from that lifestyle.
Carew when you started talking about anxiety and sin and addiction, that hit me so HARD i cannot even describe it with words because thats exactly what ive been dealing with for so long that hearing tou talk about it almost felt like a breath of fresh air, just to know that im not crazy or alone in these struggles. 🙏🙏
Vc pode lutar contra sua Sexualidade a vontade vc vai continuar sendo gay!! Não existe ex gay . Não existe cura para o que não é doença e nem demônio!!.
Thank you Rashad for your testimony , thank you Carew for your platform and for bringing topics like this on the pod. It is so very needed especially in these times that we are living in. 🤍 thank you speaking truth and may the lord continue to bless you. 🩷
i struggled with this with myself and was really convinced that it was normal but yet i always felt guilty and was scared to be caught. but since finding Jesus i can truly say he’s delivered me from these thoughts and ways ❤️ i thought i was going to have to take this secret to the grave but Jesus truly delivered me from it
There's nothing 'not normal' about being gay. Your churches can teach people to hate themselves all they want to, but people are waking up. Religious bigotry is still bigotry. End of.
@@RationalistMH church didn’t teach me to hate myself, i did that. maybe church hurt you when you were younger but it’s not about the church, it’s about the message and who’s giving that message. Jesus saved me, not church. i don’t have any judgment or hate towards the gay community, we can all get closer to God. God bless ❤️
@@calebdidit You felt guilty because you probably grew up in an environment where being gay was a very taboo. Christianity in general makes a lot people feel shame about anything related to sexuality.
@@ohuntermc9321 i get what you’re saying but still not true, i knew it wasn’t in my character but i was feeding into it. it was more so kids from school and my Dad that would say things like that to me but it didn’t really affect me till my later years. again, i was born again and he’s takin me away from that sin, God bless ❤️
Yes, there is. Being Christian is a choice. Being gay is not. If you pit the two of them against each other, you will always push the gay person away from God. The Bible does not condemn homosexuality in its original language. The anti gay stuff entered the Bible in 1946.
@GilbertGTV sir, that simply isn't true. It's always been echoed throughout the bible that sexual relations only belong within the marriage of a husband and wife. This isn't just homosexuality, but its included. Now, I don't agree with people bashing and demeaning the LGBTQ community because that goes against the core teachings of Jesus, but to say it isn't a sin is just a blatant lie.
I am 15 years old, I got saved a year ago. You have really inspired me to talk to others about Jesus and just to grow up as a light to others. I have pulled my friends closer to Jesus and I have pulled other teenagers out of hell, and I really don’t want that to stop 🫶
Yea, sure. Just like the thousands of 'ex gays' who came out and said they were lying when Exodus International shut down some years ago. No one is 'delivered from homosexuality' because sexuality is not a choice and cannot change from one day to the next. It's scientifically impossible. You can be bisexual and choose to repress your gay desires or not act on them, but no one goes form 100% gay to 100% straight because of God. Stop the lies.
Carew, I looove this Podcast!!! Holy Spirit is using you!! May God bless you. I will continue to pray for you ❤️ And thank you Rashad for your testimony!! So important! May the Lord bless you too ❤️ I love you guys
u don’t even understand thank u so much for posting about this topic this touched me and was exactly what i needed to hear from the Holy Spirit so thank u for being a vessel❤️ i love you brothers
Hi Carew. I almost never comment on TH-cam channels, but felt it placed on my heart to encourage you & Rashad on the Kingdom work you are a part of. My best friend is a gay man, and is *SOOO* close to a relationship with Jesus. I love him dearly, as close as I would a brother, and we often talk about God, Jesus, and our belief systems. My best friend displays a love (service) that is generous and giving to so many, and he is sensitive to others and works doubly hard to make someone feel “seen”. Without having a personal relationship with Jesus he is about as close as it gets!!! I pray my best friend will have a supernatural encounter with our Lord that will radically change his vision so he can see the plan our God has on his life: to have a relationship with him. I pray over you and Rashad to continue your work and reflect how God redeems our brokenness, trading ashes for beauty, because it gives so many people the chance to hope… which I consider to be key to our individual walks with Jesus in addition to faith. Bless you. Olivia
So happy that you two are true followers of Christ, not cherry picking the Bible. I pray more our age become true Christian’s. We will still trip but we follow the true God, not the socially acceptable Christ
To be a Christian is to cherry-pick the Bible, there is no other way. The Bible is full of natural error and contradictions, you have to have extra biblical schemes to adhere to any of it.
Amigo não existe ex gay!! Não existe cura para o que não é doença. A pessoa pode escolher praticar o Celibato mais nem todos tem esse dom !! A palavra de Deus diz em 1 Corintios 7 que quem não consegue controlar seus impulsos sexuais que case!! Simples
What a blessing! You guys are anointed! Such wisdom! You are 100 💯 percent correct when you talk about going from gay to God instead of trying in your flesh to go from gay to straight. That never works!
You could pray for me, I've dealt with same-sex attractions. I'm out of the lifestyle and have had deliverance but from time to time I struggle with porn. Im also homeless 10 plus years, i also have chronic pains. My wish is that I could have a friend to walk with me but im growing in the secret place.

It is the kindness of God that leads us to repentance. We must preach repentance - in 2008, I was a gay-identified man, in a committed, monogamous same-sex relationship, active in an affirming church, then found myself in an ICU where the medical team classified me clinically dead after a 22-minute flatline. I experienced death, judgement and hell. When I couldn’t take any more demonic torment, I cried out in repentance, “Jesus!” and I heard the Savior say, “I am here.” At that moment, I saw with my eyes the Wind of the Holy Spirit fill my ICU and with great power, He pick up Satan and the demonic and blew them out of the room. On that day, my life changed, the redemptive Blood of Jesus cleared my mind, and completely healed and restored every failing organ. Glory to God!
Honestly, this is probably the most meaningful and motivational podcast I've ever listened to! I thank God for helping me find this video and you guys for sharing your testimony and thoughts on this topic with us. Thank you for not inflicting the feeling of conviction on us, but rather help us relate to you and better understand how to hone our relationship with God! I thank Him for your existence, guys. After all, God is great! I may be only 15 years old, but i truly believe that what you do is great and that you'll save so many souls! I may repeat myself, but you dont know how much i needed to hear all of this! GOD BLESS!❤❤❤

This podcast is truly something special. Not only did it open my eyes, but it made me realize that I had never just directly prayed to God about my struggles. I realized that I never demanded to be broken free in Jesus' name. What you two do is truly amazing, and I will always be thankful to God I came across this video. I truly believe I have started something new in my life, and I give all glory to God.
God set me free from homosexuality in March 2023. Following your journey has been so inspiring to know there are others out there like me whom God has called to freedom. Thank you both for your bravery and boldness for the gospel. You inspire me SO much. HALLELUJAH!!!!
Nothing "sets you free" from homosexuality. If you're gay, you cannot get rid of that. Now, if you mean to say that you are choosing to live a life of celibacy, or that you are in a relationship with a woman despite not being sexually attracted to them, that's fine, but it doesn't change the fact that you're still gay.
@@scottmoore7588 I have no reason or anything to gain from lying or being dishonest about what God has done for me and millions of other people that have sought Him. My testimony is on my channel, I encourage you to listen! God bless you.
I am curious, when you were set free from homosexuality, does this mean you: 1) no longer feel any same-sex attractions (e.g. exclusively heterosexual) OR 2) still experience same-sex attractions, but choose not to identify with or pursue them
@@DanSmith01ave thanks for your question. To begin, I think it’s important that to note that “heterosexuality” is not a fruit of the spirit, but self-control is. To directly answer honestly, I would say, yes, my attractions have changed. That’s not to say I don’t experience temptations in that area because it’s where I’ve been set free so the enemy tries to get my mind back in that way at times. By the power of the Spirit I am able to redirect my thoughts if I am ever tempted with same-sex fantasies. Deeper in to your question, personally I was always attracted to women as well as men, but pursued men exclusively for a period of my life because the attraction was stronger. I had no desire to engage in any form of heterosexual relationship or romance. After being set free through prayer and fasting, God 100% redirected my vision. My desire to date men was gone, the desire to pursue them sexually, all of that, was taken away, because I prayed for God to help me in that area, and I was willing to give it up and walk in obedience no matter the cost. It takes a level of true love for Him to be able to overcome this sin of same-sex lifestyle/attraction, because it becomes rooted in your “identity.” I would say it’s a combination of both because it’s not a black and white issue, if that makes sense, given the information I’ve shared. It’s not so much that God “made me straight,” but rather gave me a much stronger desire for holiness, a heterosexual marriage if that’s what He wills for me, and the fruit of self-control in the face of same-sex temptation if that ever does comes up. And I will say it’s not difficult nor impossible, and I don’t consider it to be suppressing anything, rather yielding to His will instead of the old flesh patterns I engaged with for so long. I hope that answers your question. God bless. 😇🫶🏼
You can be gay and be loved by god. Religion is a choice and being gay, bi, lesbian, etc., is not. If I truly had a choice, I would not want to be gay, but here I am. I love myself and I know god loves me.
Hey! God does love all of us, but there should be a clear distinction on whether you have made sexuality your identity… when we introduce ourselves we dont say hi “I am a heterosexual, or I am gay” if we make sexuality our identity, then everything around it, problems, relationships revolve around the fact that you think or somebody else thinks that sexuality is their identity when in reality, all of us are more than our sexuality. Hope it makes sense, we shouldnt use Gods love in any way to justify our sinful nature, and that goes for us all. Have a blessed day. Not in any way should I be the one to convince you of anything, I leave it in Gods hands. I just felt the need to tell you this.
I struggled with Drug addiction, pornography, and just being a decent person overall, but homosexuality is not something that changed when i got saved, so i disagree with this as a whole because being gay is not perversion. Perversion is perversion. But being in a healthy, loving, gay relationship with your partner who is hopefully also transformed by the blood of Jesus, is not wrong. I prayed for God to take this away from me my entire life, and i haven't ever had a conviction about being "gay" but i have had convictions about my sex addictions and drug addictions
Hi brother. Unfortunately, feelings are not a good measure to see if something is wrong or not. The heart is deceitful and our flesh opposes the spirit. The Word of God is extremely clear about who will inherit the kingdom. I pray that you would separate yourself from all ungoldy influence, and seek the truth for yourself❤
First, I would like to say this conversation was very interesting to watch and listen to. I think its a very good thing to hear others opinions, or truths so to speak. Second I'd like to add that it is perfectly okay to walk with and worship Jesus while being Gay, I know this to be true because I have been in somewhat these same shoes. God welcomes all his children and their imperfections. We are all human beings trying are best to Love God just as much as he loves us. and when the day of rapture comes he will strip us all of our fleshly wounds and desires and we will become the true image of him. Amen. I will be praying for you both fellas.
as long as you’re loving a life that doesn’t negatively harm yourself or anyone else, I believe that’s the most important thing. no matter what your sexuality is, you were made beautifully in His image ❤
@@KN_builds Yea we know. Hatred and bigotry is your brand of 'biblical' Christianity. Christian slaveowners in this country also thought considering black people to be literal animals was the word of the Gospel. Something tells me you would have been right there supporting them.
I will definitely have to agree with you. The Bible is a translation by man, we truly don't know what God will have to say about being gay and being a Christian. Love is love regardless of whom it is, I feel that you can be a Christian and be gay. I'm really Suprised people are bringing down people who are gay. Like they belive in God, they belive in his teaching, they just love some one of the same sex. If live your life and just be real about things and give him all the glory respect that he gave his only sin, to be tortured ridiculed and killed just for his beliefs So here in this podcast you both basically state the because you are gay you can't be a Christian. I disagree whith both of you on this matter. It is not or place to judge. Upon the final days we will be judged and there he will judge us, it's not man's place to judge or make statements such as this. It's not factual
If you are questioning your sexuality or gender identity, you don’t have to go through this alone. Tell someone that you are trying to figure this out; tell someone who will accept you either way. If you are afraid of being gay or trans, don’t be. Millions of queer people live happily; they are loved by others, and they love themselves. If you look in your heart and see the truth deep down is that you are gay or trans, know you can still love yourself, not with shame, but with pride.
31:54 - 32:18 : 2 Timothy 1:7 comes to mind here! Amen! “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
I was never exposed to gay porn before I felt the attraction to other boys. And there has never been the slightest bisexuality, or attraction both to men and women, to which I ever can relate.
I'm glad you mentioned that coz all these gay testimonies are always centered around porn addiction, promiscuity and addiction to drugs and alcohol as if that's exclusive to gay people
So I decided to fast and pray today.. I was struggling with the fasting part.. but I'm so glad I clicked on this video.. this is probably the most powerful video I've watched in a while
You can be saved as a homosexual, you may never find attraction in the opposite sex as long as you live but it’s the homosexual lifestyle that you need to repent from. And remember repentance is not an apology or confession to God, it’s a change of mind and heart. So be careful how you word things because it’s not true that you cannot be gay and go to heaven. If you are gay you have to die to self as our flesh is corrupt, but guess what, God knows all of our struggles and His death was an atonement for our sins.
Lust in the eye is still a sin. Finding the same sex attractive. Is still a sin. Why do people want to limit God's power by saying you can never overcome homosexuality as if that's something that God can't cure 🤦🏽♀️
So gay people are just cursed to be celibate for their entire lives? Doomed to never find a partner? Sounds great. I’d really praise the lord for that endless, lonely, battle.
This video made me so nervous to watch idk like I’ve been battling with the lies of “your gay” and I just feel it’s never ending and growing up I’ve always been attracted to men and I still am but I’ve been struggling with my identity and I just pray for healing and deliverance
No your a perfect the way you are don’t suppress your true self because of a religion remember being a Christian is a choice being homosexual isn’t I recommend you look to science for more information following religion as a homosexual only leads to sadness
Jesus was not shy when it came to saying what he wanted to say. Gays existed before and after Jesus. During the time he was alive he never mentioned homosexuality as a sin. Also, if are saying you are or think about men and women, you are already sining the word of god. Because even though your actions are saying you are not a sin your heart does. The heart is what takes you to heaven not your words and actions.
You cannot stop being gay. It’s who you are. You are born that way. Jesus loves people who are gay. and I despise of labels. Jesus loves me gay, straight, darker skin tone, lighter skin tone, happiness, depression, anxiety, addiction. RuPaul is an icon. And I feel so sorry they he grew up with such hateful, ignorant people.
@@Sarah-vj6qrmm if god don’t make gay ppl then why do we know there’s a genetic reason for being gay also you can’t repent of being gay lmao it’s proven not work conversion therapy is just fucking torture
God loves everyone but He still hates the sin. We are all born sinners. We were all born that way. It was who we all were. So yes you are born that way and yes you that is who you are. But when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior we become born again a new creature in Christ. When we are born again into the family of God, we are no longer a sinner.
I just wanted to say this video was so good because you and Rashad were just open to being used by God to share your (mainly Rashad's) testimony and give good advice/the truth on what it means to truly seek Christ. This is an issue that is very prevalent right now, so I am grateful that you and Rashad were willing to speak up on it because it is touching a lot of souls. Much love to you all, brothers in Christ 🫶🏽.
@@t_harry312 God didn't give them that sin, sin comes as a result of living in a fallen world with ungodly influences. no one is born that way and even if some ppl believe they were, the Bible says that u need to be born AGAIN
@@Truth_teller724 firstly you can't influence someone into being gay, it just doesn't work like that. Secondly ofc you aren't born gay, no one is born any sexuality. In my situation I was raised hardcore Christian and never knew anything about gay people or sex. But when I was around 6 in school I had a crush on a classmate. I wasn't influenced nor was I converted.
@@t_harry312 they've done studies and research on it and there's no evidence to prove that people are born gay or that gay and straight men have different genes or neurological constructs that shape desires. most homosexuals become that way due to past experiences of molestation, s3xual abuse, or early exposure to porn (this can all be backed up by studies). all in all, God loves everyone, and it is in His will that no man should perish, but all come to repentance.
THIS IS SO POWERFUL!! I felt the Holy Spirit thru the phone! Praise God! I felt conviction in this with the private browser part and I completely forgot about it until now! Like why do I even have it on my phone!? Thank for sharing your powerful testimony! Praise God that we are brothers and sisters in Christ❤ 1:25:58 and on is so powerful!!!
Thank you for talking about the hard topics Carew. This is such a touchy subject in todays world but we need to not shy away from it just to make other people comfortable. As Christian’s we receive so much backlash when we bring up anything in regards to this community but the truth needs to be preached. Keep being a light Carew and don’t let any hate get to you ❤️
It's not a touchy subject. It's a group of people relentlessly hating on and spreading vile propaganda about a minority group, and you want to not be called out on your hatred because 'the bible said so'. I think not.
The power of the cross indeed, I am so honor you guys being disciples of Christ. I was raised in Pentecostal church, an preach son who was molested by seduction at 9 yrs. old my first homosexual experience by a 16 yrs.old relative. I kept secret until 22 yrs.old. I had enterain the homsexul life style fully. I am now a senior in my 60s no longer act on homosexual experiences,places or things. Yes,I die daily from old behaviors. I have a soultie with someone long distance has stop the connection for years. God, has kept me thus when I couldn't keep my self. The Holy Spirit will lead and guide you through all things. I am so happy for all whom come out of the homosexual spirit. Amen!
Then you didn’t learn anything, yes God love you but man does he not approve of that sinful identity, read the scripture man, seek the truth and be free
@@oscarvega1943 There's no 'sinful identity'. 200 years ago Christians said being black was a mark of the devil that justified slavery. Your brand of bigotry is just the latest in a long list. And people are over it.
They doth protest too much, methinks It seems to me like you are both bisexual (or gay) but choosing to not act on the male attraction part of your sexuality. And you’re using religion to justify why you need to downplay that part of yourself. Which is fine it’s your life. But you speak as if “being homosexual” is itself a sin, but sin implies choice. Sexuality isn’t a choice… ask any straight man if he chooses to be attracted only to women and he will say it’s who he is. Same for bisexual/gay. Sure, you can choose to not act on feelings you have towards the same sex, but you can’t choose whether you have those feelings in the first place. If you accept this then being gay isn’t a sin, maybe having gay sex is, but being same sex attracted isn’t. It seems like the most enlightened position for someone to be in, in this case, is to admit openly that they are bisexual/gay while at the same time admit they refrain from acting on those feelings. It’s enlightened because you are choosing against a sinful action despite wanting to do the action. And if you lie and pretend like you don’t have those feelings in the first place, isn’t that itself a sin?
This podcast is so powerful. So many good points and so much wisdom. GLORY TO GOD 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I had a porn addiction as well and I was delivered and set free from the evil spirits of porn by Jesus Christ AMEN. Our ears and eyes are portals so when you said something about allowing our eyes to see darkness and comes into our bodies, that gave me chills because it’s true. Jesus is the way and the truth and the life and he is my lord and savior. This walk with Christ is not easy but I see the good works he is doing with my heart, he is performing miracles daily and placing my heart in the right place. My family brought a question to my attention and I don’t know how to answer this one yet. They said: if god is all love then how is being gay a sin? I’m curious what your thoughts are on that question?
this hits deep especially after getting saved & breaking up with my girlfriend because i was asking for intimacy with Jesus & slowly the lustful urges went away. i was so scared to tell her but i did & now i feel no attraction i just miss being close with my Father 🦋🩷 thank you for sharing y’all! these hate comments really prove how people are trying to make evil GOOD & good EVIL our generation is going to bring a lot of people back home. i was thinking i could be a lesbian while having Christian values. knowing i wanted all of it & not being lukewarm Christian. too many sad people projecting in the comments we have to pray for them
Thank you Rashad for being bold in your faith and in your witness. The Word of God tells us that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony. Keep sharing your testimony and watch God do wonders in and through your life. God bless 🙏❤️
Prayer is powerful too and I’m pretty sure that helped to staying in contact with God as you progress to give your life to Christ!! ❤️ love this thank you Jesus for deliverance… this is the best way to live!! ❤️
whew thank You JESUS! 🩷 the ending is so true; the happy ending isn't the marriage or children it's JESUS! even if i lived the most perfect life, without Jesus Christ, my destination would still be hellfire for eternity. 1 Corinthians 15:17 "And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!" it is the power of Jesus' resurrection where He defeated sin, death, hell and the grave, where we can overcome sin and have eternal life praise God 🙏🏽⭐
im struggling so badly with being gay i want to be rid of it and i have prayed over it over and over fasted and i still can’t escape it and i really wanna be in heaven with my loved ones and with Jesus i need help and i dont know what to do maybe i need an exorcism 😭😭😭😭😭
Our salvation comes through Gods grace, we cannot earn our way to heaven through any works at all.God is all powerful, if you believe with your heart soul and mind that God raised Jesus from the dead and know that he truly took the punishment for our sins to save us from eternal damnation,you're saved☦️. We are born imperfect so we cant live perfect lives as Jesus and we are born in sinful nature no matter the sin but God still loves us. Keep talking to God , reading the word and praying. Dont give up on your relationship with God he loves you, Jesus is not against you but for you and he just wants you to come back to him xx
@mr.albert2847 List the first ten steps (in order) to turn GAY? or Straight? Please CHOOSE to be GAY tomorrow & let me know how your days goes??GENIUS.😂
here’s how i see it, God gave us free WILL. we are not born gay, we are born sinful. God gave us free will to either follow Him (and His Word) or follow the world (and worldly desires). I also believe you can’t claim to be Christian and go against everything the Word of God says.
also like they said “God will never give you a purpose against his will and his word” therefore your not born gay, it’s a choice. in fact literally every thing is a choice, we can either choose God or the world
Romans 1:18-24 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator"
Being attracted to a person of your own sex is not your choice. Howbeit I do not believe that a person should truly celebrate any kind of pride on account of himself. Regardless of where you are coming from, pride is sin.
“How can people heal if they don’t even believe that their sick” what a spirit filled conversation, so many gems and wisdom . Shout out to both of you brothers
More people are accepting of the lgbtq community, especially this pride month
I am so happy you guys are doing what you do. How blessed are we to have believers preaching on these subjects ❤️
As someone that has struggled with this for my entire life, it is such a blessing to hear creators talking more about it & being open and honest. Praise God
You struggle for acceptance, not because of your orientation. There is nothing wrong with your orientation. There is something wrong with these two’s understanding of it.
yo u wanna conform urself to prejudice so u believe ur worthy thats ur business dont shove it at others
You can be LGBT and Christian 👨❤️👨
@@ddrsewho lied to you
@@Kentarius I don't believe a lie do you?
Awe man. I needed to hear this. I felt like straight tugged in my spirit when hearing this.
I was dealing with same sex attraction ever since I was small & its a testimony that I need stated @ it’s given time.
But man I truly identified, with being bi/gay. I had relations with 50+ people @ the age of 19. Earlier in the weeks, I was in the ER after I could no longer tolerate bowel pain after falling into sin, days earlier when I was meant to go to a missions trip.
And God’s so loving & compassionate to not let me go to that trip so when I go I can truly save souls, not suffer the pain I was going through if I were going to go. And that same thing our brother brought up, is the world tells us to experience if you like it, and I did it by trial & error.
Until I ended up liking it but I was diagnosed with Herpes & Syphillis but even in that ER before church because I had to play that same day.
I thank God for being there with me & God let’s us suffer our own consequences, God is not mocked.
Pray for my soul, my being because even after being treated, its habits in me that pleasure feels good that I keep doing it , when I what makes me feel whole & clean is living in the spirit with God :)
Homosexuality is a healthy natural sexual orientation with an evolutionary meaning.
If it was caused by psychological influences, it could be changed to heterosexual in a therapy, but it cant.
Thats what we know for sure.
So its innate. Why did it come up in evolution?
There is a permanent share of 90-96% heterosexuals and 4-10% share of homosexuals in all living beings with sexuality since 385 million years. The reason is the evolutionary advance through several factors, for example: Same-sex sexuality evolved by natural selection because it created or strengthened male-male alliances and female-female alliances and mutual social benefit to all the animals in the tribe, better survive better defense, better social interaction.
There are interesting studies about it.
I wish for you that you find a loving same-sex partner, marry and maybne raise kids in responsibility.
“God will never give you a purpose that contradicts His word”🔥🔥🔥 the power of the cross defeats everything!! GREAT PODCAST

Não existe ex gay!! Não existe cura para o que não é doença!!.
Yesss Jesus!! Before I came to Christ I struggled with homosexuality, transgenderism, and witchcraft. But my mother was steady and firm in Christ and at the time I had no idea how right she was. She would tell us about Sodom and Gomorrah and how homosexuality is an evil demonic thing. I used to think she was cruel and homophobic and how dare she not love her kid for who they (very mistakenly thought they) were. But oh God is good. My mother’s faith is what led me back to Christ Jesus. How right she was! My eyes have been opened to the rampant evil the enemy is trying to pollute our children with. There is no compromise for a Christian. You can’t be gay and a Christian, trust me, I thought you could. All glory be to God Most High. Jesus loves you all and wants to deliver you. May God bless you all 🫶

I’m honestly really interested to hear what you have to say about this topic Carew. I can just really relate to your videos
Praise Jesus God is using you for his glory ✝️❤️
Carew when you started talking about anxiety and sin and addiction, that hit me so HARD i cannot even describe it with words because thats exactly what ive been dealing with for so long that hearing tou talk about it almost felt like a breath of fresh air, just to know that im not crazy or alone in these struggles. 🙏🙏

i struggled with this with myself and was really convinced that it was normal but yet i always felt guilty and was scared to be caught. but since finding Jesus i can truly say he’s delivered me from these thoughts and ways ❤️ i thought i was going to have to take this secret to the grave but Jesus truly delivered me from it
There's nothing 'not normal' about being gay. Your churches can teach people to hate themselves all they want to, but people are waking up. Religious bigotry is still bigotry. End of.
@@RationalistMH church didn’t teach me to hate myself, i did that. maybe church hurt you when you were younger but it’s not about the church, it’s about the message and who’s giving that message. Jesus saved me, not church. i don’t have any judgment or hate towards the gay community, we can all get closer to God. God bless ❤️
You’ve been indoctrinated
@@calebdidit You felt guilty because you probably grew up in an environment where being gay was a very taboo. Christianity in general makes a lot people feel shame about anything related to sexuality.
@@ohuntermc9321 i get what you’re saying but still not true, i knew it wasn’t in my character but i was feeding into it. it was more so kids from school and my Dad that would say things like that to me but it didn’t really affect me till my later years. again, i was born again and he’s takin me away from that sin, God bless ❤️
Well said Rashad: “There’s no such thing as a gay Christian.”
Yes, there is. Being Christian is a choice. Being gay is not. If you pit the two of them against each other, you will always push the gay person away from God. The Bible does not condemn homosexuality in its original language. The anti gay stuff entered the Bible in 1946.
@@GilbertGTVperfectly said
@@GilbertGTVwhat parts were added?! I’m curious
@GilbertGTV sir, that simply isn't true. It's always been echoed throughout the bible that sexual relations only belong within the marriage of a husband and wife. This isn't just homosexuality, but its included. Now, I don't agree with people bashing and demeaning the LGBTQ community because that goes against the core teachings of Jesus, but to say it isn't a sin is just a blatant lie.
@@JustGav86 amen!
I am 15 years old, I got saved a year ago. You have really inspired me to talk to others about Jesus and just to grow up as a light to others. I have pulled my friends closer to Jesus and I have pulled other teenagers out of hell, and I really don’t want that to stop 🫶
I recently got delivered from homosexuality and I love this video💙
Yea, sure. Just like the thousands of 'ex gays' who came out and said they were lying when Exodus International shut down some years ago. No one is 'delivered from homosexuality' because sexuality is not a choice and cannot change from one day to the next. It's scientifically impossible. You can be bisexual and choose to repress your gay desires or not act on them, but no one goes form 100% gay to 100% straight because of God. Stop the lies.

Hi Carew. I almost never comment on TH-cam channels, but felt it placed on my heart to encourage you & Rashad on the Kingdom work you are a part of. My best friend is a gay man, and is *SOOO* close to a relationship with Jesus. I love him dearly, as close as I would a brother, and we often talk about God, Jesus, and our belief systems. My best friend displays a love (service) that is generous and giving to so many, and he is sensitive to others and works doubly hard to make someone feel “seen”. Without having a personal relationship with Jesus he is about as close as it gets!!! I pray my best friend will have a supernatural encounter with our Lord that will radically change his vision so he can see the plan our God has on his life: to have a relationship with him. I pray over you and Rashad to continue your work and reflect how God redeems our brokenness, trading ashes for beauty, because it gives so many people the chance to hope… which I consider to be key to our individual walks with Jesus in addition to faith. Bless you. Olivia
This is an incredibly important ministry, we need more of it because the world is full of false teachers spoken about in 2 Peter chapter 2.
Não existe ex gay , não existe cura para o que não é doença !! Simples.
So happy that you two are true followers of Christ, not cherry picking the Bible. I pray more our age become true Christian’s. We will still trip but we follow the true God, not the socially acceptable Christ
To be a Christian is to cherry-pick the Bible, there is no other way. The Bible is full of natural error and contradictions, you have to have extra biblical schemes to adhere to any of it.
whooooooo this is powerful.

Thank you for keeping it real and Biblical.
It is the kindness of God that leads us to repentance. We must preach repentance - in 2008, I was a gay-identified man, in a committed, monogamous same-sex relationship, active in an affirming church, then found myself in an ICU where the medical team classified me clinically dead after a 22-minute flatline. I experienced death, judgement and hell. When I couldn’t take any more demonic torment, I cried out in repentance, “Jesus!” and I heard the Savior say, “I am here.” At that moment, I saw with my eyes the Wind of the Holy Spirit fill my ICU and with great power, He pick up Satan and the demonic and blew them out of the room. On that day, my life changed, the redemptive Blood of Jesus cleared my mind, and completely healed and restored every failing organ. Glory to God!

This podcast is truly something special. Not only did it open my eyes, but it made me realize that I had never just directly prayed to God about my struggles. I realized that I never demanded to be broken free in Jesus' name. What you two do is truly amazing, and I will always be thankful to God I came across this video.

God set me free from homosexuality in March 2023. Following your journey has been so inspiring to know there are others out there like me whom God has called to freedom. Thank you both for your bravery and boldness for the gospel. You inspire me SO much. HALLELUJAH!!!!
Nothing "sets you free" from homosexuality. If you're gay, you cannot get rid of that. Now, if you mean to say that you are choosing to live a life of celibacy, or that you are in a relationship with a woman despite not being sexually attracted to them, that's fine, but it doesn't change the fact that you're still gay.
Ok, Karen.
@@scottmoore7588 I have no reason or anything to gain from lying or being dishonest about what God has done for me and millions of other people that have sought Him. My testimony is on my channel, I encourage you to listen! God bless you.
I am curious, when you were set free from homosexuality, does this mean you:
1) no longer feel any same-sex attractions (e.g. exclusively heterosexual) OR
2) still experience same-sex attractions, but choose not to identify with or pursue them
@@DanSmith01ave thanks for your question. To begin, I think it’s important that to note that “heterosexuality” is not a fruit of the spirit, but self-control is. To directly answer honestly, I would say, yes, my attractions have changed. That’s not to say I don’t experience temptations in that area because it’s where I’ve been set free so the enemy tries to get my mind back in that way at times. By the power of the Spirit I am able to redirect my thoughts if I am ever tempted with same-sex fantasies. Deeper in to your question, personally I was always attracted to women as well as men, but pursued men exclusively for a period of my life because the attraction was stronger. I had no desire to engage in any form of heterosexual relationship or romance. After being set free through prayer and fasting, God 100% redirected my vision. My desire to date men was gone, the desire to pursue them sexually, all of that, was taken away, because I prayed for God to help me in that area, and I was willing to give it up and walk in obedience no matter the cost. It takes a level of true love for Him to be able to overcome this sin of same-sex lifestyle/attraction, because it becomes rooted in your “identity.” I would say it’s a combination of both because it’s not a black and white issue, if that makes sense, given the information I’ve shared. It’s not so much that God “made me straight,” but rather gave me a much stronger desire for holiness, a heterosexual marriage if that’s what He wills for me, and the fruit of self-control in the face of same-sex temptation if that ever does comes up. And I will say it’s not difficult nor impossible, and I don’t consider it to be suppressing anything, rather yielding to His will instead of the old flesh patterns I engaged with for so long. I hope that answers your question. God bless. 😇🫶🏼
You can be gay and be loved by god. Religion is a choice and being gay, bi, lesbian, etc., is not. If I truly had a choice, I would not want to be gay, but here I am. I love myself and I know god loves me.
Hey! God does love all of us, but there should be a clear distinction on whether you have made sexuality your identity… when we introduce ourselves we dont say hi “I am a heterosexual, or I am gay” if we make sexuality our identity, then everything around it, problems, relationships revolve around the fact that you think or somebody else thinks that sexuality is their identity when in reality, all of us are more than our sexuality. Hope it makes sense, we shouldnt use Gods love in any way to justify our sinful nature, and that goes for us all. Have a blessed day. Not in any way should I be the one to convince you of anything, I leave it in Gods hands. I just felt the need to tell you this.

@@nicolasoliveira3653 okay buddy keep on telling yourself that
Im a disciple and struggle with same sex attraction. the struggle is real !
Yes it is
I struggled with Drug addiction, pornography, and just being a decent person overall, but homosexuality is not something that changed when i got saved, so i disagree with this as a whole because being gay is not perversion. Perversion is perversion. But being in a healthy, loving, gay relationship with your partner who is hopefully also transformed by the blood of Jesus, is not wrong. I prayed for God to take this away from me my entire life, and i haven't ever had a conviction about being "gay" but i have had convictions about my sex addictions and drug addictions
Hi brother. Unfortunately, feelings are not a good measure to see if something is wrong or not. The heart is deceitful and our flesh opposes the spirit. The Word of God is extremely clear about who will inherit the kingdom. I pray that you would separate yourself from all ungoldy influence, and seek the truth for yourself❤
This was so good brothers! Giving me hope! Thank you
First, I would like to say this conversation was very interesting to watch and listen to. I think its a very good thing to hear others opinions, or truths so to speak. Second I'd like to add that it is perfectly okay to walk with and worship Jesus while being Gay, I know this to be true because I have been in somewhat these same shoes. God welcomes all his children and their imperfections. We are all human beings trying are best to Love God just as much as he loves us. and when the day of rapture comes he will strip us all of our fleshly wounds and desires and we will become the true image of him. Amen. I will be praying for you both fellas.
This is SO good, Thank you Carew
as long as you’re loving a life that doesn’t negatively harm yourself or anyone else, I believe that’s the most important thing. no matter what your sexuality is, you were made beautifully in His image ❤
That isn’t exactly biblical
@@KN_builds Yea we know. Hatred and bigotry is your brand of 'biblical' Christianity. Christian slaveowners in this country also thought considering black people to be literal animals was the word of the Gospel. Something tells me you would have been right there supporting them.
no
I will definitely have to agree with you. The Bible is a translation by man, we truly don't know what God will have to say about being gay and being a Christian. Love is love regardless of whom it is, I feel that you can be a Christian and be gay. I'm really Suprised people are bringing down people who are gay. Like they belive in God, they belive in his teaching, they just love some one of the same sex. If live your life and just be real about things and give him all the glory respect that he gave his only sin, to be tortured ridiculed and killed just for his beliefs So here in this podcast you both basically state the because you are gay you can't be a Christian. I disagree whith both of you on this matter. It is not or place to judge. Upon the final days we will be judged and there he will judge us, it's not man's place to judge or make statements such as this. It's not factual
@@KN_builds I don’t remember asking + who cares
If you are questioning your sexuality or gender identity, you don’t have to go through this alone. Tell someone that you are trying to figure this out; tell someone who will accept you either way. If you are afraid of being gay or trans, don’t be. Millions of queer people live happily; they are loved by others, and they love themselves. If you look in your heart and see the truth deep down is that you are gay or trans, know you can still love yourself, not with shame, but with pride.
31:54 - 32:18 : 2 Timothy 1:7 comes to mind here! Amen!
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
I was never exposed to gay porn before I felt the attraction to other boys. And there has never been the slightest bisexuality, or attraction both to men and women, to which I ever can relate.
I'm glad you mentioned that coz all these gay testimonies are always centered around porn addiction, promiscuity and addiction to drugs and alcohol as if that's exclusive to gay people
@@thori_ginoYeah and I have never been exposed either to drugs or alcohol.
So I decided to fast and pray today.. I was struggling with the fasting part.. but I'm so glad I clicked on this video.. this is probably the most powerful video I've watched in a while
Very POWERFUL!!! Thank both of you. I was truly blessed by God while watching it
This was SO good 🥺💞 Thank you!!!! Love the two of you together
You can be saved as a homosexual, you may never find attraction in the opposite sex as long as you live but it’s the homosexual lifestyle that you need to repent from. And remember repentance is not an apology or confession to God, it’s a change of mind and heart. So be careful how you word things because it’s not true that you cannot be gay and go to heaven. If you are gay you have to die to self as our flesh is corrupt, but guess what, God knows all of our struggles and His death was an atonement for our sins.
Lust in the eye is still a sin. Finding the same sex attractive. Is still a sin. Why do people want to limit God's power by saying you can never overcome homosexuality as if that's something that God can't cure 🤦🏽♀️
So gay people are just cursed to be celibate for their entire lives? Doomed to never find a partner? Sounds great. I’d really praise the lord for that endless, lonely, battle.
This video made me so nervous to watch idk like I’ve been battling with the lies of “your gay” and I just feel it’s never ending and growing up I’ve always been attracted to men and I still am but I’ve been struggling with my identity and I just pray for healing and deliverance
No your a perfect the way you are don’t suppress your true self because of a religion remember being a Christian is a choice being homosexual isn’t I recommend you look to science for more information following religion as a homosexual only leads to sadness
Also remember that Leviticus verse in the Bible isn’t the original it was drastically misinterpreted to the current one
Jesus was not shy when it came to saying what he wanted to say. Gays existed before and after Jesus. During the time he was alive he never mentioned homosexuality as a sin. Also, if are saying you are or think about men and women, you are already sining the word of god. Because even though your actions are saying you are not a sin your heart does. The heart is what takes you to heaven not your words and actions.
this podcast saved me thank you to both of you ily
I'm so proud of you guys for sharing this your testimonys were beautiful I love you Carew! ❤
You cannot stop being gay. It’s who you are. You are born that way. Jesus loves people who are gay. and I despise of labels. Jesus loves me gay, straight, darker skin tone, lighter skin tone, happiness, depression, anxiety, addiction. RuPaul is an icon. And I feel so sorry they he grew up with such hateful, ignorant people.
Jesus does love you. But He didn’t create you gay. Jesus calls all sin to be repented of❤️
@@Sarah-vj6qrmm if god don’t make gay ppl then why do we know there’s a genetic reason for being gay also you can’t repent of being gay lmao it’s proven not work conversion therapy is just fucking torture
God loves everyone but He still hates the sin. We are all born sinners. We were all born that way. It was who we all were. So yes you are born that way and yes you that is who you are. But when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior we become born again a new creature in Christ. When we are born again into the family of God, we are no longer a sinner.
Did you watch the entire video?
@@molly2frodo222 No, because it’s untutored.
I just wanted to say this video was so good because you and Rashad were just open to being used by God to share your (mainly Rashad's) testimony and give good advice/the truth on what it means to truly seek Christ. This is an issue that is very prevalent right now, so I am grateful that you and Rashad were willing to speak up on it because it is touching a lot of souls. Much love to you all, brothers in Christ 🫶🏽.
Thank you so much for sharing and being bold and courageous. So so so grateful for you both sharing your stories ❤
hope everyone realsies being gay is fine and to not listen to these guys. God will love you for you
Jesus loves you dude. But please understand that sin is not apart of God’s plan for you
@@Dankzelso why give them the sin?
@@t_harry312 God didn't give them that sin, sin comes as a result of living in a fallen world with ungodly influences. no one is born that way and even if some ppl believe they were, the Bible says that u need to be born AGAIN
@@Truth_teller724 firstly you can't influence someone into being gay, it just doesn't work like that. Secondly ofc you aren't born gay, no one is born any sexuality. In my situation I was raised hardcore Christian and never knew anything about gay people or sex. But when I was around 6 in school I had a crush on a classmate. I wasn't influenced nor was I converted.
@@t_harry312 they've done studies and research on it and there's no evidence to prove that people are born gay or that gay and straight men have different genes or neurological constructs that shape desires. most homosexuals become that way due to past experiences of molestation, s3xual abuse, or early exposure to porn (this can all be backed up by studies). all in all, God loves everyone, and it is in His will that no man should perish, but all come to repentance.
THIS IS SO POWERFUL!! I felt the Holy Spirit thru the phone! Praise God! I felt conviction in this with the private browser part and I completely forgot about it until now! Like why do I even have it on my phone!? Thank for sharing your powerful testimony! Praise God that we are brothers and sisters in Christ❤ 1:25:58 and on is so powerful!!!
Here are some verses I found:
Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Matthew 19:4-5 ( what marriage should be)
"A half truth is a full lie." So true This was a such a good episode!
Thank you for talking about the hard topics Carew. This is such a touchy subject in todays world but we need to not shy away from it just to make other people comfortable. As Christian’s we receive so much backlash when we bring up anything in regards to this community but the truth needs to be preached. Keep being a light Carew and don’t let any hate get to you ❤️
It's not a touchy subject. It's a group of people relentlessly hating on and spreading vile propaganda about a minority group, and you want to not be called out on your hatred because 'the bible said so'. I think not.
The power of the cross indeed, I am so honor you guys being disciples of Christ. I was raised in Pentecostal church, an preach son who was molested by seduction at 9 yrs. old my first homosexual experience by a 16 yrs.old relative.
I kept secret until 22 yrs.old. I had enterain the homsexul life style fully.
I am now a senior in my 60s no longer act on homosexual experiences,places or things.
Yes,I die daily from old behaviors.
I have a soultie with someone long distance has stop the connection for years.
God, has kept me thus when I couldn't keep my self. The Holy Spirit will lead and guide you through all things.
I am so happy for all whom come out of the homosexual spirit. Amen!
I’m a gay Catholic and I know God loves me for who I am and that he made me this way!!
Then you didn’t learn anything, yes God love you but man does he not approve of that sinful identity, read the scripture man, seek the truth and be free
@@oscarvega1943 There's no 'sinful identity'. 200 years ago Christians said being black was a mark of the devil that justified slavery. Your brand of bigotry is just the latest in a long list. And people are over it.
@oscarvega1943, so then he must not approve of straight people either.
This piece of content is so offensive
@@90sJeanius the video? I know.
They doth protest too much, methinks
It seems to me like you are both bisexual (or gay) but choosing to not act on the male attraction part of your sexuality. And you’re using religion to justify why you need to downplay that part of yourself. Which is fine it’s your life. But you speak as if “being homosexual” is itself a sin, but sin implies choice. Sexuality isn’t a choice… ask any straight man if he chooses to be attracted only to women and he will say it’s who he is. Same for bisexual/gay. Sure, you can choose to not act on feelings you have towards the same sex, but you can’t choose whether you have those feelings in the first place. If you accept this then being gay isn’t a sin, maybe having gay sex is, but being same sex attracted isn’t. It seems like the most enlightened position for someone to be in, in this case, is to admit openly that they are bisexual/gay while at the same time admit they refrain from acting on those feelings. It’s enlightened because you are choosing against a sinful action despite wanting to do the action. And if you lie and pretend like you don’t have those feelings in the first place, isn’t that itself a sin?
This podcast is so powerful. So many good points and so much wisdom. GLORY TO GOD 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I had a porn addiction as well and I was delivered and set free from the evil spirits of porn by Jesus Christ AMEN.
Our ears and eyes are portals so when you said something about allowing our eyes to see darkness and comes into our bodies, that gave me chills because it’s true. Jesus is the way and the truth and the life and he is my lord and savior. This walk with Christ is not easy but I see the good works he is doing with my heart, he is performing miracles daily and placing my heart in the right place.
My family brought a question to my attention and I don’t know how to answer this one yet. They said: if god is all love then how is being gay a sin?
I’m curious what your thoughts are on that question?
this hits deep especially after getting saved & breaking up with my girlfriend because i was asking for intimacy with Jesus & slowly the lustful urges went away. i was so scared to tell her but i did & now i feel no attraction i just miss being close with my Father 🦋🩷 thank you for sharing y’all! these hate comments really prove how people are trying to make evil GOOD & good EVIL
our generation is going to bring a lot of people back home. i was thinking i could be a lesbian while having Christian values. knowing i wanted all of it & not being lukewarm Christian.
too many sad people projecting in the comments we have to pray for them
Thanks for having me on brother!🙏🏿 May souls be touched and transformed in Jesus name!!
Thank you for sharing your story!
God bless you brother ❤️🔥
Thank you Rashad for being bold in your faith and in your witness. The Word of God tells us that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony. Keep sharing your testimony and watch God do wonders in and through your life. God bless 🙏❤️
Não existe ex gay!! Não existe cura para o que não é doença!!.
Amen to that
His testimony takes courage
Prayer is powerful too and I’m pretty sure that helped to staying in contact with God as you progress to give your life to Christ!! ❤️ love this thank you Jesus for deliverance… this is the best way to live!! ❤️
Hope you see this… you should talk about the strength/power in prayer!! ❤️🫶🏾
whew thank You JESUS! 🩷 the ending is so true; the happy ending isn't the marriage or children it's JESUS! even if i lived the most perfect life, without Jesus Christ, my destination would still be hellfire for eternity. 1 Corinthians 15:17 "And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!" it is the power of Jesus' resurrection where He defeated sin, death, hell and the grave, where we can overcome sin and have eternal life praise God 🙏🏽⭐
I eccepted Jesus 33 years ago. I've been praying God would deliver me from homosexality for 33 years. Sometimes i feel he's not listening.
im struggling so badly with being gay i want to be rid of it and i have prayed over it over and over fasted and i still can’t escape it and i really wanna be in heaven with my loved ones and with Jesus i need help and i dont know what to do maybe i need an exorcism 😭😭😭😭😭
Our salvation comes through Gods grace, we cannot earn our way to heaven through any works at all.God is all powerful, if you believe with your heart soul and mind that God raised Jesus from the dead and know that he truly took the punishment for our sins to save us from eternal damnation,you're saved☦️.
We are born imperfect so we cant live perfect lives as Jesus and we are born in sinful nature no matter the sin but God still loves us. Keep talking to God , reading the word and praying. Dont give up on your relationship with God he loves you, Jesus is not against you but for you and he just wants you to come back to him xx
@mr.albert2847 List the first ten steps (in order) to turn GAY? or Straight? Please CHOOSE to be GAY tomorrow & let me know how your days goes??GENIUS.😂
This is so powerful 💪🏿
Leviticus 18:22 - Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Does Bible allows you to put 👂 ring
here’s how i see it, God gave us free WILL. we are not born gay, we are born sinful. God gave us free will to either follow Him (and His Word) or follow the world (and worldly desires). I also believe you can’t claim to be Christian and go against everything the Word of God says.
also like they said “God will never give you a purpose against his will and his word” therefore your not born gay, it’s a choice. in fact literally every thing is a choice, we can either choose God or the world
What a weird way to approach humanity.
Romans 1:18-24 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator"
I'm Christian and gay, and I'm proud of that.
Same
Being attracted to a person of your own sex is not your choice. Howbeit I do not believe that a person should truly celebrate any kind of pride on account of himself. Regardless of where you are coming from, pride is sin.
@@Oort-si8ckwhy should no one at least be prideful 😂 a little bit
I don't care about your opinion because I didn't ask what you think about my sentence.
I hate radical Chris who thinks he knows everything about religion.
