He was part of my healing. I was not a lesbian at all. But healing from sexual abuse, his songs of the Father helped me heal 30 yrs ago. Took 17 yrs due to d.i.d. but heal I did and Jesus did it. Thank you for your ministry. It made a huge impact on my life and soul in Christ. I have always had a leap in my heart spirit when I hear your name.
I just want to thank you so much Dennis Jernigan. I'm watching this movie now and crying through most of it, but good good tears my brother. The first Exodus I attended was in 1995-right after God had set me free from same sex attractions. You were the worship leader at that conference for the whole week. It was in San Diego California. Though I'd been a very serious, dedicated Christian- in love with the Lord and a Bible teacher for years- I ended up struggling as you did. By the time I attended that conference, I was so fresh out of the fire I smelled like smoke. I never backslid in the way we think of backsliding. I never left HIM and HE never left me- praise His holy name. But I understand the shame and the Heartbreak of going through that horrible Valley. But God did a mighty work then and it has continued all these 26 years. And I understand the courage it takes to share your story. I am a mother, a grandmother and even a great-grandmother now. And as you're saying at the end of this movie, at this point in time in our nation it is considered a hate crime just to share our testimony. But as you have decided yourself we cannot remain silent because there are too many out there who don't know the truth and that they can be set free and free indeed. I'm sure like me, you wept heartbreaking tears when Exodus shut their doors and spoke such heresy as they did -saying that it was a lie and that it was damaging and they were so sorry for the damage they had incurred- even saying that it was not possible for total change and transformation. What a lie from the pits of hell! It broke my heart as I'm sure it did yours. So all the more we have to Proclaim what God has done and what God can do for anyone who allows HIM free rein in their life. I love you very much and I praise God for your testimony. I always tell people the first two things I noticed about Dennis Jernigan at that conference was that he was very much in love with Jesus and he knew Jesus was very much in love with him. Keep up the good work brother. I'm very proud of you- your wife- your family. Much love in Jesus name. P.S. For 26 years people have said to me "Why are you so passionate about Jesus? I've never seen anybody so exuberant in their praise and worship!" How could I not be passionately in love with someone who loved me so passionately and even through my deepest darkest valleys and never gave up on me and never quit loving me and never quit helping me & never quit encouraging me! Oh you better believe I AM VERY MUCH IN LOVE WITH JESUS. I know you understand Dennis Jernigan. 😁😉😊😍😇🙌
What an incredible testimony. Dennis is a true minister of God. I praise God for his victory, and the strength to overcome the demons that tormented him. He shows that, with God's help, all things ARE possible. I wish I could share this with every person struggling with Homosexuality and Lesbianism. Those who are still struggling, read; hear this testimony, and receive the same hope he received: Jesus. You won't regret it. Receive Dennis's testimony. Its FACT. I thank God I never had this struggle, though it makes me sad to see how the enemy deceives many with this attack on the hearts of His people. I thank God that I never had this struggle. Its painful to see how the enemy hates and hurts the heart of people.
Yes he sure is a worshiper a Minister of God's transformation , old thing's have passed away BEHOLD All things have become new HALALUYAH AMEN HALALUYAH 📯✝️🕊️🙏
Yeah. Won't regret it. Tell that to all the LGBT kids that have committed suicide or grown up with severe trauma because of your ilk. They "struggle" with it solely for you and for no other reason. No one gets up in the morning and goes "hey, you know what sucks? My identity!" without severe damage being done prior. It is sick that a preacher will intentionally inflict injury and then sell the injured the cure, all while complaining that the LGBT caused it.
What a beautiful & touching testimony! Gosh, in this day & age where many religions are changing sound doctrine into a watered down message of "Be yourself" or "Find out who you truly are: -This documentary or Dennis' testimony shows us how the the Lord wants to heal us from the inside out & that there is nothing impossible for our Mighty God to accomplish! How our broken world needs to see this documentary to experience hope & healing again. Thank-you for this inspirational film!
Without growing up with a strong (loving) father figure. The mother then takes that role an sends mixed messages to a child. Resulting in any strong male who "provides the love an comfort", missing from the father. Takes u down a strange an corruptive path! I speak from experience! Until I got saved in 1990...
I had the great privilege to share the stage with Dennis in a Worship Conference in Brazil and was also blessed to get to know him in person. I can’t stress enough how his life and music touched and changed so many lives. Thank you Dennis!
Such an amazing testimony, I've been listening to his music since 1990/91, still worship with it today. "....Father of mine, I'll always be at rest in the precious love you have for me! I love you, oh how I love you...."
I thought I was going to sit back and listen to music instead a wonderful story of God love for Dennis and to the world. Thank you Dennis for sharing your story and God love for us
I give thanks to God for you & what He has done in your life. Thank you for opening your heart ❤ & giving such an honest testimony. I just love the praise music God has given you. May God continue to bless you & your family.
Dennis, you have no idea what your story means to me. Thankyou so much. You gave me hope when I didn't have any. And couldn't see past the present. Thankyou. Keep speaking
Thank you for this!! I appreciate the humble hearts and everything!!! There’s deliverance and great hope for my son and my brother through Jesus!! 🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏❤️✝️✝️
@Dead Kenny Yes, it is really sad that so many people abused him and took advantage of him and it took so long for him to find the only True way of escape and healing.
@@DreamerSeerFaithBeliever It is tragic. Absolute travesty that the church was his primary abuser and yet he doesn't confront that honestly with his audience for his 'testimony.' That his parents don't take responsibility, or even _acknowledge_ that they were responsible for his trauma, or that it's their lack of oversight that caused his trauma in the church (saying "we thought it was a nice small town so we didn't have to watch him" isn't taking responsibility.) That the people in his town clearly expressed hateful intent and were responsible for his hatred of his own identity but he doesn't explain how any of this reflected God's actual feelings or how he knew that it did. That he tells his life as a string of traumatic events that led to him being _different,_ yet he does not deconstruct how these traumatic events influenced his own emotions beyond "other people made me feel sad about being gay so I pulled away from other people." That he goes on encouraging other people to hurt themselves in the same way. That he encourages people to come to the same organization that constantly threatened his safety as a child. That he would claim God has the desire to change fundamental identity despite the fact He made you that way and made it an inflexible trait for a reason. That he would blame his homosexuality for having unstable relationships with both men and women when he talks at length about having his energy drained away by poor mental health caused by the church. That he would take a false prophet cold-reading a church as a sign that Jesus is gonna make him straight. That he concludes God just gave him 'temptations' for the sake of it, to strengthen his faith, when those 'temptations' instead forced him to lie to protect himself in a dangerous environment created by the very people 'of God' he wanted to placate. That he didn't even discuss his past and traumas with his new wife _before_ getting married because they decided they just 'didn't need to' have good communication. That his parents would pretend like they 'just accepted him' when it's clear they either never accepted them or never bothered to communicate enough with their son to know or help him with his struggles. That he would teach his kids all of this is okay. The tragedy of it all truly cannot be encapsulated.
Dennis we've been singing your song's since 1989 , they have always been so special to me , keep telling your story. It's really important right now for the harvest. 👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌✋🎹🎶🎵🎹🎶🎵🎹🎶🎵🗣️✝️🕊️🙏 Nobody knows my heart like Jesus, AMEN HALALUYAH 📯📯📯📯 📯📯📯 waiting to hear that shout and shofar, abideing till He returns 😁😁😁 from Oklahoma 👍👍 Oh wow , Love that tombstone how cool is that?
@Dead Kenny Kenny, why do you have the word "Dead" before your name. That is really sad 😥. May GOD bless you and wrap HIS loving arms around you and heal all your hurts and disappointments.
Glory to God! What an amazing testimony! The Lord has set me free from the same bondage. My story is different to Dennis's, but the same God, the same mercy, the same grace. Words are powerful! Be careful what you call other people who are different to you. But God's Word brings new life and gives us a new identify. Thank you for sharing your testimony Dennis. What a honor it would be to meet you in person.
I also want to add to what I've already written Dennis- that like you- I do not call myself an ex-gay. I am a totally different person. I do not relate at all to what I once struggled with.
When he talked about the pastor, making a sexual move on him, I thought the devil is a lier, to think there's no hope, after trusting a so called man of God, man will always fail, Jesus the word become living flesh, is the only perfect example, the Bible ,is mankind's only true hope, Jesus is the truth and the way, to salvation, and trust that gives true peace and love,God bless to all, in JESUS name Amen 🙏
@@wjameswright I watched the whole thing. Its a film about a gay man whos religion gets in the way of being who he really is. I heard about this from GAM podcast. They all thought it was depressing as well.
@@nickgagnon3626 Of course it's depressing for those who refuse to acknowledge their sin and repent of it, because they don't want to admit that they're in opposition to a Holy God.
@@jamestrotter3162 was Denis a top or bottom. He seems like a bottom. He believes others should define him. Very gamma male. I feel sorry for all his boyfriends. They deserved better than this whiny, beyond repair, and broken man. the lesson is, daddy issues, living in the middle of nowhere, and dogmatic practice can drive a man to suicide or make him work with those who oppressed him. I feel bad for his kids. Statistically one of them is gay.
The same God is available to every human being; that's the reality.
One of my favorite gospel singers for many many years now... He truly is a gift to the body of Christ!
Still don't believe there's power in the name Jesus? There's absolute power. 🙌🏾
It often takes one bad moment to experience a lifetime of change.
Only God can set us free!
Thank you for making this movie.

Listen since 1991
Can anyone tell me the name of song that begins to play at 10:36?
An alternative title for the film, could be "Jernigan's Journey".
Cos he's sure come a long way...
What's the name of the song at the end were he has his eyes open wide
Please upload in hindi all movies
Jozsue, szeretném megtartani a vezetéknevemet, a házasságban.
