POWERFUL TESTIMONY 👇🏼👇🏼
“Jesus set me free homosexuality and witchcraft. I grew up without a father and had a warped view of men from bad examples of men l've seen in my life. I carried rejection and pain with me from that.
In school I was bullied and called gay all the time because I was more feminine than other boys. I didn't even know what gay was. Then I became angry and hung with the wrong crowd drinking, smoking w**d, etc. At a party a male friend of mine sexaully took advantage of me and this opened a door of confusion in my life. I started to believe if this happened to me, then maybe I am gay.
I began to experiment with makeup, cross dressing/drag as a way to cover myself and hide behind an alter ego. I then started getting involved in new age witchcraft. Doing spells, crystal work, kundalini yoga, spirit guides, tarot cards, etc. I was living this ways for years. 2 years ago I started feeling empty and these things weren't filling the void in me anymore. I cried out to God and said if this isn't what you want for my life give me a sign. The next day I had a dream from God of the Bible verse Ezekiel 6:4 telling me to stop doing witchcraft and turn to him. But I still had one foot in and the other trying to figure out the truth.
All the witchcraft I had dabbled with caused me to experience demonic attacks after this. These beings I thought were my spirit guides were actually demons. I was experiencing sleep paralysis, demonic dreams, attacks, etc. I looked into why these things were happening to me and found out that this is a very real thing.
Demons are real. Around this time I also recieved a dream of Jesus telling me to be set apart and follow him. Time goes on and I come across an online map where I connected with a believer in my area. She shared the gospel with me and talked to me about being born again. I knew this is what God was calling me to.
I set up a day on January 3rd 2021 to meet up with people in my town I never met before to get baptized, set free of demons, and filled with the Holy spirit. I received freedom and a new life. It took some time for me to find good people to fellowship with and grow with. But I finally did find some good brothers and sisters, but I still felt like God was calling me for more. I kept having dreams of traveling, God connected me with a family of disciples and I quit my job, leaving everything behind and began to travel the country and later another country (Mexico!) and now the world.
I've been living completely by faith for a year now, learning and growing each day, and trusting him in everything, and going wherever he calls me.
The world will tell you that homosexuality is something you’re born into and it’s not something you can change. But I’m living proof that Jesus changed me and gave me a new life, a new purpose, a new identity. If you’re struggling with sexual identity, come to Jesus! He loves you so much and he can set you free!”
