Praise God ❤️❤️

"if I put my feelings before scripture, I will be led to death Everytime" so powerful ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽
Saba fay yes. I loved that part
This summarises it all for me
Sooo powerful
The best 👏🏽☺️
Very true
We have been so trained to place happiness over holiness. Holiness is God-centered. Happiness is self-centered.
though if you might be interested in checking out christian hedonism as defined by John Piper, our greatest happiness should really come from following God and being in love with Jesus :)
And the statemaent, "God love us unchanged is wrong" its very self centered
The right one is "we will change as God want if we love God"
Augustine. C exactly what I was thinking!
Good stuff.
Very true
"If I put my feelings above scripture, I'm going to be led to death every single time." It's so true.
Facts
....but isn’t it your feelings that lead you to be a Christian? I guess it’s only the feelings that god allows that are ok😳
Thanks for your support just wanna take this opportunity to appreciate you, I read all your comments here before I messaged you as the luckiest fans, I will like to share something important information with you if you don't mind just contact me personally at my Gmail address, or feel free to add me up on hangouts with this gmail, ( jackiehillperry1@gmail.com) God bless you ❤️
@@astranova1674 When I was led to Jesus I was at a place in my life where I was struggling to feel anything. I was emotionally numb, and I didn't feel anger, happiness, or sadness. There was nothing. Being raised in a Christian home, I knew about God and about the gospel but I never truly understood it, and I felt like I could never be a true Christian because all my Christian friends would talk about their big emotional experiences with the Lord and I just didn't feel anything. It wasn't until after God called me and I accepted His invitation and took that leap of faith, deciding to trust Him as my savior that I felt anything experientially. He called me FIRST and I followed Him, the feelings came after. Now that I am saved, everyday my love for Christ is growing, but it was not my feelings that led me to Him. It was His good and sovereign grace alone that has saved me and led me to become a Christian, NOT my feelings. Again, God allows us to feel things, but it is up to us how we act in response. As Christians, we believe that sin has twisted our world, separating us from our creator and condemning us to eternal punishment. The gospel is what we call the "good news" and is more than just a story in some religious book. It is the real story of how God sent down His perfect son Jesus, who is God made flesh, to die for our sins as only a perfect sacrifice can atone for them. He died and was buried for three days, and on the third day he rose again, so that all who repent of their sins and believe in him and his resurrection will be saved from their sins and receive eternal life. Even if you don't believe anything I am saying, I urge you to read through the book of John chapter 3, verses 16-21. It explains more of why Jesus came and why humans continue in their sin despite this. I pray that God would open your eyes to His light, because you are a precious soul made in His image and are of infinite worth and value. God bless you 🙏
@@rightoffthepage4942 again, an emotional response. I’m glad you feel purpose, but every single time I ask someone why they have faith it’s a personal anecdote. Again, glad you find worth but just feeling good about something doesn’t mean it exists.
“If I put my feelings above Scripture, I’m going to be led to death every single time.” 🙌🏾 To God be the glory, Jackie!
Eboni Armstrong THAT alone... 😩🙌🏾

To God be all the glory...if i was gay, I'd put my life in Gods hands and live single forever...but in truth, its not single if you have God in your life.
"Heterosexuality is not a fruit of the spirit... Self-Control is!!"
Keena Michon that part! 👌
Keena Michon that part got me!!!
Baaaabbyy I felt that in my soul🙌🏾
RIGHT ON!!!
Keena Michon it’s a message!!!!!
You're not coming to God to be straight, you're coming to God for Jesus.
YES!!
Laura B amen!!!!!
I can only hope and pray you do not preach this to your children if you have any
HALLELUJAH 🙌🏽AMEN 🙏🏽
THAT SAYS IT ALL 🙌🏽🙏🏽
Amen ,he is deserving .
@@haleigh423 I think she meant that you don’t come to God to be fixed, you come to him through the love of Jesus, and then God starts working in your heart into holiness 😌
- basically I think she meant that if we seek God through Jesus, everything falls into place
"My marriage is not evidence of salvation, but the fruit of the Spirit is evidence of salvation." Amen. Out loud.
This woman is so poetic. Anointed. Ain't no stoppin that.
Amen
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Treamann M.O.G
She is so beautiful inside out.
Lol she's confused
Amen. ( So be it ) Thank you Father God for this woman submitting to your Holy Spirit. Hallelujah!
I’m so happy someone put into words what I have been living and feeling for years. I’ve always believed in God, and I’ve always been gay since I was a kid. I always felt like a hypocrite seeking God, talking about God and my faith in Jesus to others, while being in a homosexual relationship. Over and over i agonized, i wanted Him to remove these affections but over and over He keeps on telling me He loves me. Thats it. Either i hear a VERY SPECIFIC message from a random video, friend, song, or anything that i could not dare say it’s just a coincidence. For so long i thought God just wanted me to become straight. But no, even if I become straight BUT fornicate then im just trading one sin for another. God wants me to be holy. Having a husband or a kid in the future is just a privilege, it’s not the mission. Seeking Jesus is. I’d rather chase Jesus than money, relationships, accomplishments, power, fame, or all of the above! Face it, we dont know what will make us truly happy. Try wanting something so much and end up having it, you’ll want something else the next minute! For years I deliberately ran away from God because I accused Him of being a hypocrite. Saying He loves me but cant accept me?? I thought that was bull. But God didn’t budge one bit. He waited. Now i know that He never changed, I did. I just see things differently now and how foolish I have been. God loves me. He loves me. Thats who I’m giving my life and love to.
The first person I ever fell in love with was a former drug dealer turned demon summoner who cut off contact with me and dropped off the face of the earth.
It was quite a jarring experience, I didn't know what was happening; truly I thought it was my family history of mental illness rearing its head.
Took me probably.. ehhh.. two years before I actually realized that I had been in love.
Obviously it wasn't a good fit, but that doesn't change the fact that hearing the news that we would never see eachother again was the most pain I've ever felt in my life, physically *or* emotionally.
Now why am I telling you this⸮
Because chickadee, even though I didn't realize that I was head over heels in love, I did realize that whatever it was, it was very important.
It was something I'd been wanting and needing for years, and when I thought about it a thought occurred to me: What right do I have to be picky about the gender of the people God sends me?
Well this sent me on a research journey, I'm sure you're familiar with the multiple layers of awareness and denial because I didn't think I was in love but I did know that I was suddenly aware that I was Queer, and I wanted definitive answers.
I'd been in this middling state of my opinion of homosexuality and Queer rights and I'd been disapproving without really knowing why.
So I decided, I was going to get answers.
What I found was interesting,
I was fortunate to have a strong background in linguistics so looking at the source language didn't intimidate me but even without that several things became apparent very quickly.
Every single one of the so-called clobber verse, is flawed in some fundamental way.
Sodom depicts an attempted gang rape, of course that's condemned regardless of gender.
Romans 1 is similar, the latter half of the chapter is a description of pagan worship practices, including both sex and images. The use of images outside idolatrous context is allowed, why shouldn't sex⸮
To say nothing of the mistranslations that go unremarked upon in the modern church, even after they're corrected.
An excellent example is the word "fornication".
Fornication is modern language generally refers to pre-marital sex, although it can be used for any sort of sex.
This.
Is very interesting.
Partially because that word is used because it is a cognate of a Latin word _fornicātiō_ .
The word can mean several things, whoredom, prostitution, sex, but the root was _fornix_ , which means brothel so it's likely it was closer to that.
But that is notably different that the English meaning, well maybe not. It's very possible that the meaning in English was much more similar to that of its Latin counterpoint in 1557 but who knows.
However, we do know that fornication was in the Bible from then on.
Or at least it was until recent years when it was removed from more recent translations.
Because the funny thing is, neither the Latin term nor the English term accurately represented the meaning of the original Greek term, which is rather more important.
What did the Greek term mean?
"Sexual Immorality"
a term as bold as it is specific. This is what appears in modern translations.
But despite the fact that the original text doesn't condemn pre-marital sex and despite the fact that modern Bible translations don't either doesn't get rid of the pervading cultural norm and religious convictions that it's still forbidden, even though it never was in the first place.
And so it goes with many other issues. 1 Corinthians 6:9 and 1 Timothy 1:10 both list "homosexuals" as people who aren't going to inherit the kingdom of God. That was an addition of the 1946 RSV translation, despite the fact that no one knows the meaning of the Greek word they're translating for.
Those two verse contain the only two usages of the word in surviving record between a century after the books were written and the beginning of time.
So I don't want to it's based on nothing, but almost.
I love your message! Be blessed
@@Grokford I just spent 10 minutes reading your justification for unbelief, intellectually. What is missing is God and the message of Jesus.
@@rlrieth
Well darling, I was discussing scripture.
Removing additions to scripture is almost as important as expounding on the existing content.
If discussing scripture doesn't seem worth it I'm afraid you're in the wrong discussion.
@@Grokford Well “darling”. I didn’t see any real apologetics in your post. I’m very aware of the progressive movement of which you are a part. Not gonna fly with me.
"I can't trust my feelings, because my feelings do not have authority " 👏
🎯🎯🎯💜
This same message is also for straight people who cannot feel like they cannot a life of celibacy. I may not have been attracted to same sex but I also could not date without sinning. Every time I thought I could do it on my own, I’d fall right back into carnal desires sexual sin. Until I realized exactly this, I’m to makes a decision to be holy first and God has taken care of my feelings, desires and any sexual addiction. Glory be to God!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Amen. Glory be to GOD in the highest!
If I may ask, what was the sin that you couldn't avoid?
Amen!!!!
@@tashae.denise
Calling Love a sin is ridiculous.
To God be the Glory!!
"I think we need to reframe how we present the Gospel. You're not coming to God to be straight, but you're coming to God for Jesus" YASS Sister Jackie :D
Derek Fisher 1 Corinthians 6:11
Yep yep
@Derek Fisher You're misrepresenting Romans 1. The context of Romans 1 is pagan practices / the worship of false gods. You could take nearly anything in the bible without context & make it mean whatever you want. Not how it works.
@Derek Fisher it's evident you've done little to no studying and research
@Derek Fisher the sex in Romans 1 was sex done as a pagan worship to a false god. Worshipping a false god was the sin in that particular passage. I encourage you to look into it, if nothing else than for healthy discussions with others.
I want to thank you for this. I’ve been watching your ministry and seeking God for quite some time now. I’m transgender. I transitioned so young that I couldn’t even tell you what it’s like to present and to be seen as a man in this world. Here I am, 27 years into a transition and suddenly, I feel this gnawing desire to lay all of what I have become aside because it besets me.
I suppose the easy answer is, “Just do it! Let it all go and be the man that God created you to be.” Well, regardless of that truth, I wouldn’t even know WHERE to begin. How would this affect my career, my family, and my community (not talking about community in the LGBTQ sense)? Lol. The funny thing is, if I detransitioned, people would swear that I was transitioning to become a man, instead of me actually coming out of agreement with being transgender.
I don’t know if anyone but God can provide me with this answer, but given the extreme I have gone, what do I do? Does cutting off my hair, stopping hormones, mastectomy, and men’s clothes bring me closer to God?
Would God accept my obedience, even if it created resentment inside of me?
Could celibacy be enough??? I know this all sounds enormously confusing… well, imagine how I’ve felt since I was a child.
Pray for me…. And please, no meanness. My heart can’t take that.
All I know is that NOTHING is worth my soul. I will continue to ask God for deliverance.
Thanks.
He says come as you are. Seek 1st the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all things will be added to you. Peace, understanding, revelation, deliverance. I just want to commend your honesty and transparency. I cannot imagine what you go through, but I know that Jesus does and He's more than enough. He says don't be anxious or worry for anything, because it does not serve you. Let Him carry your burden. Be willing to sacrifice self. And set your sight firmly on his finished work at the cross. You're right that none of us can give you answers, only He can. What I can give is my love and my prayer that He open your spiritual eyes and hears to be led by Him. In Jesus Name amen. Rest in His love.
I think the first problem is that you say : I am a transgender, so your place all your identity into this transgender ideology... And if you want "the God that I am" as your saviour, you will need to accept HIS identity and to realize that our God does not make mistakes. He does not put soul in the wrong body, He is perfect and He can help you to accept your body and be delivered from this dysphoria.... Pls think on it and be blessed on your way to Jesus ✨ I am french so excuse my English...
@Ash, I felt your heart in your comment. You are so precious & I could feel God’s love for you. I’m praying for you; & may God continue leading you in the path of righteousness for His name sake. May He also bless you exceedingly & abundantly above all that you can ask or imagine. God bless you my dear. 🤗
I love you! There is a clarity that comes through in the way you frame your identity issues. Is who God formed you to be before the foundation of the heavens and earth your identity? I think yes. Yet it's not that simple anymore. The fall came later, sin, deception, confusion and death came with Adam and Eve. Identity problems all involve sin and deception of all stripes. Your capacity for clear seeing and honesty about your self is a revelation. Jesus is Lord, and with God ALL things are possible! Turn down the volume of the world, open your heart to the Lord. The way forward God has in mind for you will unfold. Grace has set you free, not to sin, but to walk by the leading of the Spirit through the fallen world we all are called to pass through for the sanctification that is granted by measure.
I don’t know you but the way you poured your heart right here 🥺.
I’ll be praying for you
This story can help someone who is struggling not just with being gay, but other areas in their life. Mine was fornication and my identity. This is powerful!
Totally!
Amen!
I pray in the name of Jesus for your complete deliverance my sister. God will take away the desire over night like he did with many people including myself but you must continue to fight off the temptations which won't stop over night but In Christ you're stronger and can do anything. 💪💯
Same!!
Very powerful.
“As if having heterosexual desires are actually a fruit of the Spirit and not self-control” 🔥 wow!! Powerful word
I’m 13 and I really want to get closer to God. Can you explain to me what that quote means?
@@wholesomebaboo2279 She is saying that having attraction towards the opposite sex is not a proof that the Holy Spirit is working in your life. Proof that the Holy Spirit is working in your life is found in the fruits of the Spirit, I encourage you to read Galatians chapter 5 in your Bible 📖 God bless you as you grow in your journey 🙏
@@StaySolid916 Thank you! God bless you too 🙏🏾
@@wholesomebaboo2279 I hope your relationship with God is every growing and stronger than last year! I’m 15 myself and I started really learning about God when I was 11. He loves you and us all so much and we’re are so undeserving of His love and yet He still gives it to us. What a beautiful and loving God we have! God bless you and I will pray your relationship with God gets better and better! God bless you ❤️
Love is also a fruit of the spirit.
“He didn’t only die. HE LIVED”. Thank you Holy Spirit!!
“...and in his living he was able to understand the human condition.” 🙌🏽 Yes! That really spoke to me also!
The temptation of Christ during those 40 days and nights in the desert, as well as the ‘Agony in the Garden’ where Jesus prayed three times asking God the Father to let the cup pass him by if possible are both wonderful examples of Jesus coming to understand and overcome the human experience.
"You're not coming to God to get straight, you're coming to God to get Jesus"! Powerful words !!
Wrong. Jesus did not say come to me and stay a sinner he said come to me and sin no more. This woman is clearly deceived.
@@davidw.4524 But she is quite obviously NOT deceived. When she says the line "You're not coming to God to get straight, you're coming to God to get Jesus", she's not saying that she's going to remain a lesbian and still come to God. What she's saying is that 'curing your homosexuality' shouldn't be your main reason for coming to the Lord, hoping that with a snap of His fingers you're healed. What she means is that you should be coming to Jesus FOR Him, to serve Him, and love Him, not to fix your gay tendencies. That, my friend, is where self-control (with the help of the holy spirit) comes in.
@@micaiahborchers8914 Jesus healed the sick instantly and he still does to this day. The question is which Jesus did this lady find, coz trust me there are many false Jesus and only One true. Also I should clarify that you come to God to get straight because Jesus was both Jesus and straight.
@@davidw.4524 Jesus wasn't about sexuality, he was about love and mercy. Everyone sins even after they are saved, and people with SSA are no different. Let he who has no sin cast the first stone.
@@micaiahborchers8914 If we confess our sins, He's faithful and just....from all unrighteousness. 1John 1:9. He also said, whosoever covereth his sins shall not prosper, but whosoever confesses and forsake them shall obtain mercy... you're blessed
I'm left speechless yet I need you to know how affirming your book is. Sin is not the issue here but Jesus. Submit to God and the devil will flee 🙌 Thank you for your bravery!
Thanks for your support just wanna take this opportunity to appreciate you, I read all your comments here before I messaged you as the luckiest fans, I will like to share something important information with you if you don't mind just contact me personally at my Gmail address, or feel free to add me up on hangouts with this gmail, ( jackiehillperry1@gmail.com) God bless you ❤️
This video is deep on so many levels. I’ve always been left dumbfounded by trying to understand why some ppl that I’ve known personally seem to have been born attracted to the same sex and I could never understand why and even how to explain this as a Christian. This video truly enlightened me. In it she explains how living holy for God is a choice. It wasn’t a deliverance service that she went to and woke up changed. She is giving her desires to God in exchange for His. I don’t know why we differentiate sin when ANYTHING that goes against God is sin. I believe we do this to outward sin. We can see homosexuality but we can’t always see pride etc. Idolatry is so common we don’t even think of it as sin. The best part is God has given us the victory and power over sin through Jesus. What we must do is submit our sins to God. I’ve got to watch this again. I’m sharing this as well. This video is awesome! Thanks for sharing your story. 🤗
Wow...so enlightening. You are really wise my Sister. God bless you.
#No room for compromise.
Song of Solomon 2:15
[15][My heart was touched and I fervently sang to him my desire] Take for us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vineyards [of our love], for our vineyards are in blossom.
Back to Life - she has many other videos and interviews on her channel that give even more inight and highlights. Keep exploring - God is using this woman, imho, to help us all mature and grow into the image of Christ.
Wow. Well said.
So true! Christ recently convicted me of the idolatry of food. I've always struggled with binge eating and emotional eating and it wasn't until a year ago I realize this was actually a sin issue. Instead of turning to Christ with my sorrow, frustration and pain, I turned to food. I was an addict! I still struggle a ton, but I look at it as a spiritual issue which had made me be more conscious and aware of those feelings and how to turn to Christ instead of food.
The title made me think it was an affirming gay Christian book. I was wrong, very wrong.
lol
for real... I was like, "ohhh cool!.... oh, wait, never mind...."
yeaa, & I think it was intended to be misleading sadly :/
Turns out it's Bible affirming...imagine that.
Amy Holt-Arafat & by that you mean bloody not at all
Im not lesbian and never have been but i find this helpful in other areas in my life
same here. her understanding of the word is refreshing
Same!!
I could not agree anymore with this statement. I too, never struggled with homosexuality but I have this video very helpful.
B3llet Truth
Lmao I'm not suffering from same sex attraction
I'm just living my life
Gir Gir Why do you consider it useless?
I totally get it girl when the Holy Spirit takes his place in a person's life the purification of every desire that that is not of God begins. It's such a beautiful process. I'm enjoying every second of it ☺
Never has she said she is no longer gay. She usually makes the subject at hand about holiness. But I honestly respect her journey so much. I would love to just sit in the room with her.
She’s married with children to a male now. So hopefully she’s no longer gay.
She has stated an important fact in her book: our past and current temptations do not define our identity. Her “gayness” was not her identity but her sin that she has repented of
"I want this book to be a means by which people can learn to love others well" Very needed right now. 👍Thumbs up if you agree.
Hi I recommend you to listen to William branhams sermons on TH-cam they are really helpful for us to be close to God and strength our faith and life don't miss I am sure u will have results
🙏🙏🙏🙏
"You are not coming to God to be straight, you are coming to God for Jesus" 😊
Amen.
jack kinga I have lived my 51 years immersed in the Church......how have we missed this truth?! And we most certainly have! Thanking God that He led me to THIS while I was browsing for music!
jack kinga When you accept Jesus as your Lord You accepting to surrender all that means also surrendering to Sin No half way love
Rom 1:24-32 😊
Amen, brother. So sad to see that so many people don't get what that means. I hope people would pray more and trusted God more instead of letting their anxieties and self-love get in the way.
Here's another quote must people won't understand: "Love God and do as you please" Agustine of Hippo.
You know, we as Christians believe that when we seek God above all else, our desires become less important in the face of His glory. If you do not agree, that's okay, but don't keep saying that it's forced, that God has forced anyone to "change" their "orientation", because humans DO have free will. If they've made that choice, that was their decision, not something that was forced onto them.
And yes, I know that there are "reformation" camps that forcefully try to make people stop having feelings for the same sex and do extreme emotional/mental damage(it's wrong and not okay), but that is not the case with Jackie and with a number of other Christians/people.
I hope you all have a wonderful day, I know that the church has failed in many ways to be loving and genuinely care for each and every community, so I pray that we can be better and be a people that you can rely on :)
I’m planning on reading this book next. I have experienced same-sex attraction and never talked about it much after I became a Christian. I left the lifestyle but was scared to talk about it. I talked about it for the first time at church in a Bible study. I want to learn to openly talk about it to help others see that that sin is not everything and that God is amazing.
She's like a breath of fresh air
I totally concur
Yessssss
Hi all of you you shall really listen to William branhams sermons they are really helpful for us to be close to God and strength our faith and life don't miss I am sure u will have results iam sure
Agreed!
Bless you all💖💖
I am 19 years old and i am gay. my love for god is beyond measure, i love and believe in lord. my sexuality is such a burden, i want to be straight. this video was very encouraging, why spend time fighting my sexuality, why not use that strength to build a relationship with god and have him help me to overcome those feelings. I am in a relationship with my boyfriend and i love him dearly, i think that i am so inlove with him that the fear of us not being together is ro hard to even think about, but i love god so much that i want him to help me to overcome that feeling, that desire.
Thats so brave of you to share Marcus! Praying for you brother, that God will deliver you from the fear and temptations. You can do it through Christ who strengthens you! Jesus loves you and he would never leave you. Praying for your partner also that he may be filled with the love of Christ too. May the Spirit lead you both to fullness in Christ and his holiness🙌🏼
I hated myself for being queer because I loved god dearly, and I do so to this day; But I will never hate myself for being queer again. Believe whatever you want to believe about desires not being the product of god; but distress and self-loathing aren't either. You need to think for yourself and not feel pressured or burdened. Jesus or God himself didn't say that homosexuality is a sin, and the old and new testament are very different, it's what separates Christians from Jews. Please don't believe that God hates you or that you can't be happy and a Christian at the same time.
@Ruby Heart That was no point against homosexuality, but pro reproduction, the same way it was Adam and Eve, not Adam, Eve, Stella, Bill etc, there was literally noone else there. It is the reason most people on this planet are straight and we need as a species to have families, but that doesn't mean everyone does have to have children, gay or not. This is not a logical argument to say because there is no line which says "and on the 6th day of creation God said homosexuality is a sin". The Garden of Eden is rich in metaphors and symbolism, how am I lying if you are not getting the point?
Roman 1:24-27
24 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, who
is blessed forever! Amen.
For this reason God gave them
up to dishonorable passions. For
their women exchanged natural
relations for those that are contrary
to nature; and the men likewise
gave up natural relations with
women and were consumed with
passion for one another, men
committing shameless acts with men
and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
@@eli3197 There are other gospels that are removed from the bible and it is also debatable is many parts of Paul's letters are not translated properly. Jesus didn't say a thing tho
This dear child is mature beyond her age. Much older me is gleaning so much from her, such a blessing.
Love you Jackie for this, I listened to the whole series, there were questions I had for a really long time, that no one could answer but this basically shed some light & changed my life
I recently prayed, as a believer seeking understanding to this lifestyle.
Praise God for you, your walk and your victory. Such an asset for the Kingdom. Thank you and Thank God for using you. I am truly blessed!
I am SO GAY. My girlfriend and I have together for over 1 year now!
Truly, I believe in God. God is love. What is ever so unholy about my pure love with my girlfriend?
@Çerastes the EXACT same love I have with my girlfriend is considered unholy. But that same EXACT love is considered pure with a man. Y'all make zero sense.
@Çerastes how so, hun. Love is love.
@Rachelle Kreger: If "love is love", I guess you have nothing against incest then?
@@_Historia_Magistra_Vitae loving someone of the same sex and porking your sister are not even close to the same thing.
@shelby: And that's where you are wrong. Since if you are suggesting that porking your sister is not consensual, then such an act would be considered as rape. However there are plenty of incest _couples_ out there who are practicing it (incest, not rape) willingly.
“There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
Proverbs 16:25 KJV
Over the past few days I've been watching your sermons and they've really moved and inspired me as a Christian and I plan on buying your book. God bless Jackie!
I battle with Homosexuality and I moved back home to be in an environment that was conducive to my deliverance and would bring me to be closer to God. And this Covid-19, is really testing me, been home for two months and I feel like I’m stuck in the house with my unholy thoughts and desires. Jackie inspires me and I hope to be at her level, it takes time
You’re In my prayers brother
The same power that rose Jesus from the dead is the same power that will help you to be victorious! Be encouraged! Romans 8:37 Phil 2:13. God bless you brother! You are not disqualified!
Love you brother! So does God!
@Hannah Leftwich But thats the point. Only God can save them from their nature. Only God can save them from their desires. Jesus said to pick up your cross and deny yourself. So yes, that person did the right thing by denying his lust.
No real god would ever deny someone true love 💗 your thoughts aren’t unholy. You are a perfect the way you are. You don’t need to battle anything. I hope you come to realize that god loves gay people, and he could care less about what gender you prefer.
Okay. So I’ve watched the video three times by now and I’ve seen a lot in these comments. First off, I pray that God blesses Jackie’s message. Secondly, she is not brainwashed or controlled. She made this choice between her and Jesus. Thirdly, we need to be willing to put aside preconceptions of the “other side” because there is none. We must speak our truths in love and talk about this in a manner that reflects Christ and our values. That said, do not be afraid to share your experiences with me. I judge no one and respect all.
just to correct you,no offense......we must speak *the truth,not our trth❤︎😊
There's only one truth.
Lmao, not me replying a whole year later as a proud non-binary lesbian 🫣
@@girlstor4921 I'm not going to say anything bad about that but I will say again, there is ONE truth. I hope you see that one day ☺️. Have a nice one.
@@melaniemillz8997 "Our truth" is not a relativist claim about the lack of singular truth is the world. It is the truth of individual beings and their lives. It's what's true about them, not what's true to them.

Praise GOD!!!!!! For any situation!!! we need to see God as our coping through prayer through scripture.
praise god for all of the tragedies of this world and all of the good things PEOPLE did! discredit them! woo!
WOW! Thank you for your obedience in sharing your story as well as articulating this subject so well! 🙌🏾🙌🏾To God be the Glory!
Thank you for coming out with your story coz I've been trying to get out of this or trying tell my friends that I don't want to be gay and your story just helped me gain courage to change and have understanding about my sin . May God just bless you girl am just thankful.
it is incredible how being able to communicate clearly and articulate well is so powerful and can be used by the holy spirit to capture the hearts of anyone listening. May the lord bless you and your children. I pray for your ministry and I bless your ministry that it may reach many members of the lgbtq community that need a new angle on this whole discussion. I pray that anyone who listens to this short testimony will be in awe of how God truly can work if we just step out of His way. I pray a blessing for anyone reading this as well, God sees you and loves you more than you will perhaps ever know. Choose life, choose Jesus.

Listen to the announcement at 2:35:30. Listen to the message; it begins about 3:15:00.
When you can make the time, watch the entire service and join in and PRAY all the prayers. Afterwards, pray and the Holy Spirit will tell/lead you what to do next.

Your message speaks to more than just to people who struggle with homosexuality but to the body of Christ. Holiness is required. Your message helps the one who may be coming out of an affair who wants to do what's right and fix the marriage despite feelings but rather live out scripture. Bless you!
Amen
To do what's right? Who are *you* to judge? What are you talking about? Or, are you saying that a gay relationship is not OK?
She gives me Lauryn Hill vibes. I love her demeanor. ❤️ I’m here after Kevonstage’s interview with her. Much love.
I’m here because Yah brought me here. Nice to see he brought everyone here for different reasons 🙏🏽
Indeed.
Amen, Sister!!! Your story is my story, too 💜 You’ve inspired me to share my testimony, I’ve been hesitant to share it for so long.
This was so beautiful, Jackie. TEARS in my eyes.
Thanks for your support just wanna take this opportunity to appreciate you, I read all your comments here before I messaged you as the luckiest fans, I will like to share something important information with you if you don't mind just contact me personally at my Gmail address, or feel free to add me up on hangouts with this gmail, ( jackiehillperry1@gmail.com) God bless you ❤️
My daughter says that she is bisexual and it was the hardest thing I ever had to face because I don’t understand the feelings and how/ why she came to this conclusion. All I have is prayer for her on her journey because I don’t know how to approach the situation and past attempts have failed. This is the one area we have difficulty discussing. Her lifestyle has led to other occult views and i just want her to be free. Please join me family in praying over and for my daughter.
How’s your daughter now? Praying for her.
Praying for her ❤
Praying for her right now in the name of Jesus Christ ❤
I will pray for you 🙏
It's not surprising, pagan, polytheism and panreligion is more common in Queer community because of the intentional alienation of Queer people from Christian groups and spaces.
If you continually characterize her orientation and God as mutually exclusive then you will only further push her towards conceptions of God which don't contain that idea; which unless you can find a community of healthy and independent Queer Christians usually means something less traditional or "occult".
In generall calling conformity to your ideas of what she should do as "freedom" you're only going to damage your credibility and especially in the case of her orientation because she's already felt trapped by the prison of heterosexual ideals in society as it is.
Yeah, you said something really pertinent, ‘God has to be the reason why people come to him, if He is the reason they come, they will stay no matter what’. You bought my thoughts whenever I preach to people. It has to be all about God and less about self. When God takes front role in every sphere, he keeps you sailing amid the storm. Hallelujah 🎉
ALSO JUST COPPED YOUR BOOK ON AUDIBLE 😭 LISTENING NOW THANK YOU SO MUCH IM EXCITED FOR THIS READ
Jackie Hill Perry is a wordsmith who’s truly been anointed for this generation!
She's giving more ammunition to gay-hating christians based on her interpretation of a book written by men in a completely different society. Those men actually condemned pagan practices of worshiping false gods, not being gay.
This is the deepest the truths of the gospel have been spoken publicly of in a long time. God bless this woman!!
Thank you for this video. It’s really been a blessing to watch!
Wow!!! So good!!! Such a blessing❤️🙌🏽. Bringing forth understanding and empathy, which is what our world needs!
Excellent, love it...good job, girl, you've got a good head on your shoulders, preach a good message, and not a popular one at this time. I saw you on 'God is Grey' and agree with your take on things...it's not about us, it's about Him and faithfulness to Him. So glad you wrote your book and are sharing your experiences - the Church has a long way to go, and needs to listen to people like you. I LOVE you position, your stance, your take, your spirit, your faith...keep it up! Well done, good and faithful servant...
A lot of the comments I have read are focusing on the topic of God hating the LGBT+ community and how you feel bad for Jackie because she is making the wrong choice for herself, which can somehow end up in suicide. (People in the comments words, not mine) I believe that we are focusing on the wrong topic and missing the whole idea of this video and her book. The point being that God wants us to come to him no matter your sexuality, ethnicity, religion, personality, belief, or whatever sets you apart from the community. I learned a lesson just recently that God will break you and place you in circumstances in which you would have no other place to go besides Him. And I believe that that is what happened to Jackie in her experience. Also, just to be clear even though you turn your life towards God, it doesn't mean that you will instantly be changed or will follow all the commandments perfectly. Life itself is a journey and is full of obstacles and adversities that may set you back but when you find hope in Christ, it changes the way you think about the situation and guides you in a way that the Lord would want you to handle it. This is how your life changes once you believe in Jesus Christ and he is the GPS in your voyage.
So when we watch videos like this and personal testimonies, remember that we are all broken and God will mend us if we are willing.
Just as a reference: Genesis 32:24-32
Wow so well put
Tiesha Arne
Amen. Thank you for sharing
she implied coming to god can turn you straight, which is so false i laughed at her.
Just you saying "can somehow end in suicide" with those words proves how extremely ignorant you are on the topic.
amen...GOD certainly will put you in a concrete stall with no way out of your own volition - you either turn to HIM or die spiritually...Yeshua died on a cross, beaten and broken beyond human capacity to withstand to bear the sin debt He never earned in His life as a human, tempted in all the ways we are and have been, yet no sin. He is worthy - we created sin and corruption, He paid the debt for it and offered redemption to us to return to fellowship with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The answer to Will you repent? is up to you.
Beautiful inside and out! Thanks for sharing your heart. Powerful message! Blessings!😘❤️🙏🏾😇
Even the fact you say since 4 or 5 years old. I’ve never heard another believer say that EVER. Thank you, I have felt alone in that. That is me too Sis and that is something that has always confused me and hurt me when people would say it wasn’t natural and that I was sin because to me it was natural to me from as early as I can remember. I felt like God had made me who I was so if I was that way and if that was sin then what does that mean.. I was so messed up for so long. Almost took my life. I praise God for not giving up on me, and reaching me and rescuing me. I cannot say how much I appreciate your realness about every bit of what you share. Revolutionary for real
Jackie, though homosexuality is not a challenge of mine this video is very insightful and inspiring as it applies to any type of sin that anyone might face. I love that you emphasized that it is the exercising of self control and the fruits of the spirit which prove evidence of the holy spirit rather than living a heterosexual lifestyle. Such a powerful, well articulated message. Thank you and God bless! 🙏🏽
T MG l agree
100%
Except it isn’t a sin
"God did not call you to be straight. God called you to be *h o l y.*"
What a line, and what a sadly ABANDONED perspective! Thank you Jackie Hill Perry, for shifting us back to the gospel, no matter who were are or what/where we hail from.
I was moved by the beginning of her book. The way she described her early experience with women was illuminating and really helped shift my perspective. She described so passionately her feelings for the girls she liked. The lust. The pining. The overwhelming feeling that you are being taken over almost possessed by something. It made me so proud to be a woman that loves women. I feel so full of love and alive when I talk to the woman that I care so deeply about. Feeling seen by her and respected and cared for makes me so happy. Being gay rocks! Thanks Jackie!!! ❤

One can't be holy and in sin.
This is one of the realest videos I’ve seen!!! To god be the glory forever!! You are amazing sister ❤️ praise his holy name
Thank you so much for your testimony. My twin sister showed me your story when I was 14 and now I am 20 and have lost attraction to be with a woman at 18 for no reason but because of God. I thank God for people like you who make it okay to be able to speak out and be safe in doing so. God bless you and thank you from the bottom of my heart because I needed someone who has been where I've been and made it out. Thank you so much .
You weren't "saved" you were indoctrinated and made to hate yourself and your sexuality. You may be a bisexual that only lives in the hetero side of it and that's why it's so easy for you. But still, that isnt fair on you and you shouldve been told to love yourself even if it was "just a phase".
I pray that one day you have the courage to love and accept yourself for who you truly are. We cannot truly glorify and love God and others if we do not love ourselves.
Always God first, not us.
It's a sacrifice to live righteous if it was easy everyone would do it
I think you may have misinterpreted what she said, she loves herself and God!

Are you trying to say shes truly gay?
Wow. She spoke truth so raw and in love. She has an amazing way with words on a sensitive subject. 🙏🏽 God will/has used her mightily.
Amen. I love how Jackie's talk brings us to the word of God.
"Are you living for the reason you were made?"
Yes to have fun and to say fuck some fake ass after life I'd rather burn in hell than live a lie
She was mace to be a lesbian yet she can't deal with that can she smh
Do creatures get to decide the reason why they were made? Do products get to decide what features and functions they're going to have? Isn't it the manufacturer or the creator who has given us a purpose to his creation? Is it humans who systematically and intentionally designed our DNA? Who has the authority? The creator or the creation? Our DNA is designed by God. It is God who created us for a purpose to receive His unconditional love, and to love God and everyone as well whether we want it or not.
@@dannacastillo4057 if god created everything then that meaning she was made to be lesbian by God because being lesbian is a feeling and identity
@@dannacastillo4057 and I'd rather be true to myself and accept who i am rather than lie to try and fit in and please people you shouldnt do things for other people i actually find her act quite cowardly because she wasn't brave enough not confident enough to admit and accept she was a lesbian
This testimony was a breath of fresh air.
Wow. I just stumbled across your channel and your book as I was reflecting on the right way to witness to my daughter who is making it her mission to support the LGBTQ movement. I want her to dig deeper to the real truth of her existence and her purpose but of course being a father I know sometimes I can be very direct with the truth rather than compassionate from others positions. I have bought your audio book and looking forward to reading it. For anyone reading this - please pray for me and my daughters (Jospehine) relationship - that God can move and draw us both closer to him and change us so that he may receive the Glory due to him.
Everything you speak, that you spoke. Anointed, purposed, beautiful. God bless your amazing spirit. I pray you continue your walk with him
You are blessed and God has led you to share your story. Your story shows that God loves ALL of his children. Keep preaching sister....my mind is blown!

This is really helpful 💕 it's good to know someone else knows the struggle and can understand 😍 you give a different perspective that I hadn't thought of. I'm attracted to both genders & sometimes I feel guilty for even feeling that at all. But your testimony is really inspiring. Thank you 👏👏👏
Please don't listen to this bullshit video. There's nothing wrong with you. Love who you want.
@@boldlysettingcaptivesfree7539 If you really want to know the truth, search youtube for The Atheist Experience
Hello T #DeterminedB, how are you now doing? I'm praying with you.
Would you like to talk to someone, pray and even have Bible study from time to time?
shelby it’s not that at all! It’s the truth of god and his salvation! He doesn’t want you to feel the way you do! He wants you to be clean. And he doesn’t hate you or dislike you for not being clean. He doesn’t agree but he still loves you!
@@tehillahdowdell7159
There is _nothing_ unclean about love.
People are not broken or sullied into love.
Scripture speaks heavily on love, love covers a multitude of sins, love is the fulfillment of the the law, the one who loves knows God for God is love
I know you think you're helping but calling the most divine trait of a person unclean is highly disrespectful and highly damaging.
God calls us to be Holy for He is Holy 🙏🏽
Amen 🤦🏽♀️🙌
Um no from seeing this he wants you to be his version of perfect. Which is a straigh male that has no regard for anyone but the "lord".
This is doctrine. What she has gone through isnt natural and she is hurting. It's not fair that she has to be forced into making a decision for herself which will ultimately make her life miserable.
And that if what your fucking god does.
LemonDrizzleBoi I’ll pray for you and it’s *God😁
LemonDrizzleBoi my thoughts exactly! You should not have to choose between your sexuality and religion.
Missbxrbiexo That emoji is so passive-aggressive wow-
Wow, that was so profoundly and powerfully articulated. I get it. I'm so glad you wrote the book and I cannot wait to read it. God bless you sis.
Just this short video spoke volumes! Thank you for this video and for the book. Your words was definitely straight from the throne room!

Glory to a God. His word and love is truth, this sister is indeed lead of the Lord.
And so all I can say is WOW...The revelation that I recieved from this 6 minute introduction to your book just brings me to tears. I realized so much. Answers to prayers came from just this short video. Thank you! Ordering the book on payday!!! Simply cannot wait. Thank you Jackie for this FIRE!!!
"It's me leveraging my story so that you can see the gospel " thankyou so much I feel so blessed that your channels found me .❤️ it's really making such an impact
Wow!! I came across this on my feed. You articulate everything thing and thought I had in regarding this. I thought no one understood my struggle but I'm glad to know I'm not alone. I will definitely be getting your book. Thank you and God bless.
I have a friend that keeps telling me to check this book out but I just haven't had time so I thought I would look it up on TH-cam. I can relate so much. I'm thankful that my love for God is stronger than my love for the world. In the beginning I thought I could combine the two being saved and being gay and being wiccan and whatever else... But as I read through scripture I realized that's not what God wanted for me. And I fell in love. The greatest thing EVER. God loves me so much that he would die for me.... I bet none of my partners would ever lol
Thank you for sharing your message with the world
WOW, the Lord is truly using you. And your revealing the heart of the church

Spot on!😊
Are you living for the reason you were made, which is to know and glorify God🙌
Looking forward to this book.
👏👏👏👏Well done Jackie and Team!😊
Thank you for sharing. I am so inspired by you. I heard you speak in person years ago and I have been following you ever since :-)
We should find ourselves, our definition, in Christ; not our sexuality, or clique, or anything. In Christ we are All New creations.
Keep doing what you're doing Jackie!😇
I’m so inspired by this video. I am a believer who has been delivered from homosexuality. So I understand the sentiments of your heart. I have to meet you one day.
Nah you're not delivered from homosexuality because I've tried lots of times praying the gay away @ 17 and God or jesus never delivered me from my homosexual lifestyle
Garrett Mcdaniel Sorry you feel that way. Living delivered is a choice though. It wasn’t an experience. I’m walking in a direction that is best suitable for me. So I can say I am delivered because of a daily choice I make everyday. You have prayed the wrong prayer for years. Thank you for your response.
@@thealhbrand she's lying she's just hiding her sexual identity I've tried lots of times praying the gay away @ 17 and God or jesus never delivered me there's a Man named Alan chambers he thought he thought along time ago that he was delivered from his homosexual lifestyle but now he's saying he's still gay therefore she's not straight Gods not gonna change someone's sexuality or gender identity were all humans and made in Gods image
Garrett Mcdaniel I appreciate your perspective on this matter. As stated before, it’s a choice and I believe she made hers the same way you do and that’s ok Garrett. Let her live in her truth. Her lifestyle has no effect on us at all. It’s ok to believe a certain way but I don’t feel we are justified to deny someone’s expression like hers. We aren’t calling you a liar but you refuse her declaration because you disagree based on personal experience? Not sure if that’s fair but you’re entitled to your position. We just choose to believe that if you really want to be free from something, you can be!
@@thealhbrand john paulk was a ex gay leader and apologized for the harm done to the LGBTQ community and he tried to be straight so he can be more pleasing to God and alan chambers was also an ex gay leader but also apologized to the LGBTQ community and he thought he was delivered from his homosexual lifestyle but he knows now that he's still gay and there's another video she says that she still has same sex attraction so how can she be delivered from homosexuality but still have same sex attraction?
Amazing testimony sis, we serve an amazing Savior. Continued blessings🙏🏾🔥🙌🏾❤️
This book is exactly what I needed to read, it helped me understand more. Im a believer raising an unbeliving lesbian grandaughter. Thank you Jackie for your testimony and for writing this book. I believe God sent me to your book at this time. What a glorious Father He is.
This is incredibly powerful and humbling to hear ♥️
Love this woman’s wisdom and perspectives. I think she has the best words I’ve ever heard to help Christians struggling with same sex attraction. Hard truths but truths. God has raised her up to be such a much needed voice at this time. So hard to know why He allows us to go through what we do. But everything He does or allows is for His glory and our good. I see it so clearly through Jackie’s story. My struggle is depression, and I see so many parallels.
If u want to help a christtian with same sax fellings, help them accept them self not change them selfs.
I’m so full just to hear your testimony. While I am heterosexual I was so moved by how you approached the scripture. My Mother is a Pastor and she has been seeking Gods guidance in always being empathetic and loving and supportive when dealing with members of her congregation who are struggling with same sex desires. I am going to share your testimony with her because I believe God is using you in a mighty way to help all of us. We love you and are lifting you and your family in prayer. 🙏🏻❤️
We really need someone in the church with the gay experience to speak out more. I am glad I saw this. My son is struggling with his identity mostly because it is now an accepted movement to be a part of the 'fluid' community. But I know what God spoke about him and God will help him to have a right relationship when the time is right. He is a teenager so he has a lot to learn. I pray for all those out there who are hurt and confused about this. We must pray against rejection, loneliness, abandonment and ask God to shut those doors in people's lives so there is no entry. But to love all who deal with this! Let us love them TO THE LORD.
God bless you Jackie!💜
The DESIRE was to WISDOM. Neat twist on that application.
Bravo Sista...great testimony
No. This is doctrine. Just because it "worked" (which it didnt) for her doesnt mean it will "work" (which it wont) for other people. Being gay is normal. Some people just have to fuckin deal with it.
Simply beautiful! Thank you for being vulnerable and humble.
God filled, God breathed message full of favor and His grace is evident in your real life experiences. God bless you and again thank you
Wow!!! Thank you for this enlightening conversation Jackie. Thank you for presenting true holiness-you go to God not just to be straight but you go to Him for Jesus!!!
