Discovering the Truth About My Identity (Part 1) - Jackie Hill Perry
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июн 2020
- Jackie Hill Perry was attracted to women before she could spell her own name. Abandoned and mistreated by every man in her life, she sought solace and comfort in women, and had her first girlfriend in middle school. As she became more committed to being a lesbian, she also began dressing and acting like a man. All along, Jackie also felt God trying to get her attention, and one night, could no longer ignore His tug on her heart.
Accepting Jesus spiraled Jackie into a complete life change, as she committed to following God, met and married her husband, and became a mom to two daughters. In this two day Focus on the Family broadcast, hear Jackie’s incredible story that proves that no one is beyond the grace and love of Jesus Christ.

I love the line when she says when you believe Jesus is worth it then you will deny your fleshly desires... so powerful!!!
Then when she says about recalling her first affection from a man was abuse. It wasnt a hug. My my my.
Jackie has an ability to make things plain and clear.
Truth. I'm not homosexual nor am I perfect. But I have abstained for all 40 years of my life. There's a movie about me. LOL!
I would have to agree.
That statement just summed up for me some things for me on so many levels. And when she said Preach Jesus’. He’s the one that gives us the power to overcome sin (paraphrased).
Her story is my story. Christ set me free in 1998 from homosexuality & addictions and throughout some struggles and failures He continues to show himself faithful. I love Him more everyday. Thank you Jackie.
Amen and Amen 🙌🏾 🙌🏾 🙌🏾
Oh yeh Praise Him
PTL!
Amazing
@@annateves8944 keep trusting in Jesus never let him go
Jackie is so anointed to do what she’s doing. She speaks so confidently and powerfully.
Awesome testimony of God's power to overcome
We are followers of the Word not editors of the Word
Amen! Holy Spirit talking thru her is so inspiring. Truly an annointing
Jim daly is such a gifted moderator he just asks the right questions with the right tone of voice.
And he’s so compassionate and so open to listening. It makes it easy for people to open up to him and it’s truly a gift from the Lord.
@Toya Toya - yes. Agree 100.
@@themascaramaven6746 - agreed, yes.
He has such a soothing and happy voice... agree
"We want the created thing more than the Creator." So true. Lord help us.
Amen
True
@@GrokfordYou are correct. Thanks to Him and His Grace!
I have a niece just like her who has never been "feminine enough" and now in highschool has a girlfriend. I thank this woman for writing this and coming to tell her side so that I can better understand my niece.
I love Jackie. She brings everything back to SCRIPTURE
Forreal! That’s how we gotta do it😇
AS it should be
*Amen!* It's the ONLY way to do it, and effectively.
Pray that Jackie keeps close to the truth.
Her use of scripture… powerful. Works for any and every sin/ infirmity/ weakness.
Deep. "As if emotions are a feminine trait."
13:20 she mentions why she had a special connection with women, because they were there for her emotionally. This is an extremely important point in relationships.
“Until you feel that He is worth it, then you’re willing to crucify those things that you feel is right.”
Any sin that can keep us out of the Kingdom should be discussed on Focus. Thank you for sharing your testimony! The church needs help reaching the LGBTQ community.
Yes
Powerful testimony,I appreciate this young ladies intelligence. 💞
All sin will keep us out of the kingdom...
As a member of that community, no thank you
@@justwhy4633 why no thank you?
Thank you, Jackie for your testimony, your faith, and your honest and loving comments. It’s so valuable (and convicting) to me. As a Christian, I don’t think I respond well to those in my life dealing with homosexuality. Thank you for speaking out it has helped me.
Even when she was young she lays claim to the fact that she knew the feelings were wrong because, ‘ the conscience speaks ‘
I loved the fact that she said that ppl forget to over come u have to first accept jesus and it takes faith and power to accomplish all God's telling us to do love it.
I found her comment about our culture reaping the the results of teaching unbiblical gender differences as if they are “gospel”. I think that is something the church has yet to really understand. I think I really agree with this idea.
True
Yesssssssssssss
I really appreciate the fact that Focus on the Family is addressing these current challenges within the church and our young people instead of shying away from them. Awareness and educating others, on what those who struggle with this are thinking, is building a bridge for us to be able to truly love the sinner and not the sin. Compassion, love and understanding will take us way further than condemnation, hate, and alienating them.
I'd grown up associating Focus on the Family with a legalistic community that listened to them on the radio and, in practice, ignored/reinforced abuse to keep traditional family roles in place.
Seeing Jackie here is the reason I clicked to watch them today. I deeply appreciate that they invited her on and that they're discussing this topic in a helpful, positive way.
Dido!
LOVE THIS SISTER IN THE LORD! She such an asset to the body of Christ!!!
She’s the voice this generation needs ❤️
❤No❤
Yes she is
@@prayerslynette7810 no she’s not💕
Thank you for this. As a mom with a daughter struggling this gives me hope. One thing I have seen over & over is so many in this struggle have been molested as young children. Let's understand that people have been so deeply wounded. Not an excuse for any sin but let's use knowledge with compassion. Let's be Jesus to all.
I may not your typical audience (59 year old former “fundy” but faithful follower of Jesus but I read (actually “consumed”) Jackie’s book last week. I read it to help me understand the struggles of those in the SSA community but I was consistently surprised at how she was used by the Holy Spirit to shine a light on areas in my life that I was not surrendering to Him. We ALL fight temptations of one kind or another and only with God’s help can we resist and walk in victory. Her book goes beyond her particular “issue” but speaks to the heart of all of our issues: Summed up in one word: unbelief. That one word on that one page struck a chord with me. Thank you Jackie for sharing your story and being such an ambassador for Christ for this time. I have a better understanding of how to communiicate, love, and pray for the LGBTQ community now. Praying you continue to stay strong in the Lord!
One thing about Jackie, she's Deep ♥️
Jackie is SO brave, committed to God's service and such a powerful voice for today-this world needs her!
I love this woman she’s just gorgeous
She is saved that is more important
I love this so much. Jackie, your words are filled with patience, love and holy boldness. People need to be shown the beauty and love of Christ.
I never heard about Jackie until today. I was listening to some gospel music and this came across my feed. So glad I'm not too judgemental to see what was being talked about. Her testimony has truly been enlightening and uplifting. I'm reminded of a song that say, "Jesus will pick you up if HE has to reach way down!" Peace and blessings to you Jackie. Continue to tell of God's goodness....
I never get tired of listening to her and her story 🙌🏽
I believe women understand women in ways men do not understand women. This is not to slam anyone, it is simply that there are differences in how men and women think. I think this is sometimes part of the attraction when women have been hurt by men.
A voice that needs to be heard so we're equipped as believers to continue to glorify Christ.
I wish everyone in the world could watch this
Please share it with others.
Yes. We must speak to people about His love and kindness.
Holyyyy cow she said sooo many things that was RIGHT ON!!!! I GAVE my self to Christ for the billionth time. I'm fighting the same thing she did.... And boy it is such a shameful thing to speak about. Many go on feeling it's wrong and trying to change on their own (me). Sooooo many struggle with this.
“You just told me to obey without power.”
Saw Jackie during my undergrad at Cal Baptist at their Chapel. Loved her story!!! Truly something everyone should hear!! 🧡🧡🧡
And now she's got a third little one on the way! ❤
and she is born weeks ago
Praise Jesus... hallelujah
And now a fourth! 😁
Love this breakdown. Thing my feel natural to our flesh, but not natural for our Spirit man. Brings me to a greater understanding that flesh is never right. Lean to the spirit only.
This literally brought me to tears. Amazing testimony. The Church needs people like her and less of those who condemn others instead of trying to reach out and bring them to Christ. And I appreciate the sensitivity and insight of the Interviewers. Very refreshing. What she says about the rigid gender roles within the Church contributing to gender confusion, bang on. I've always felt this way.
“The power that he would give me so that I am able to obey” 🙌🏻 Woowwww!
She has so much wisdom and honesty and courage. Love the way she expresses herself.
Absolutely love Jackie! I didn't even start watching yet but I had to comment. I'm happy she has received this opportunity and I look forward to the gems she will share.
This was amazing! So insightful. We need to have more conversations about this topic in the church.
Have it in your home! At the diner table with friends.
Thank you Jackie and Focus. Jackie, you said a couple of things here that I have never heard you say before that were so helpful/revealing in my own journey of restoration. Bless u for being willing to be so candid.
I haven't listened to focus on the family since I was a young kid. What happened in the last 20 years?
@@KittredgeRitter what do you mean?
I don't like the way the questions are being phrased, like they're perfect and never sinned. She doing a great job of answering these condescending questions.
I secretly stalk all of Jackie's videos but while watching this one, I really resonated with the daddy issues. If you ever read this Jackie, I hope you write a book about daddy issues.
Thank you, Jim, Focus, for breaching this topic and help people to know Truth!
Thank you for sharing your testimony. Parents need help addressing this topic with their children. Such different times we are living in these days.
Thank you Jackie, Blessings! Clear voices, Sanctification, Purity, your choices and your acceptance of Christ! I added your choices....
This interview left me wanting to hear more. It barely scratched the surface. Her voice and story is so needed for such a time as this.
jim daly was so prepared and so smooth with it... kudos to him. love Jackie!!
Wow, her conversations are always so powerful and eye opening. I have a new respect for her and her testimony
Amazing testimony, touch hearts & minds Holy Spirit
Thank you to Focus on the Family and Jackie Hill Perry!
I Love listening and learning Truth. Thank you for having Jackie Hill Perry on your program.
So blessed by this conversation 🙏🏿
This was an EXCELLENT conversation; thank you
Powerful and thank you for sharing your story with a hopeful praying mother that have 3 children dealing with this unclean spirit. So you have given me faith and hope to keep speaking God’s truth over their lives and so many others that I see in this world.
Can you guys add captions to your videos? I would love to share this video series, but I have many Deaf friends on my social media accounts and I won't share something they can't have access to.
You can add captions. It’s at the top of the page where those 3 dots are vertical.
Tamara Lyons they’re not available
Tap on the video and the 3 dots will show up
@@dulcejocelyn7102 yes it. I just turned it on. Tap on the video it's a cc icon on the top right.
So important! Thank you Jackie!!
Beautiful testimony Jackie❤. Thank you for sharing!
Another, fantastic interview! Again the courage and honesty. Jesus is the GREATEST gift any of us have ever been given. Earthly Fatherhood is so critical. I know, even I struggled in learning what my Heavenly Father meant, how to relate and how to accept and understand Him.
I am SO grateful to the Lord for Jackie, her life & her testimony. All glory to the Lord Jesus Christ!
I'm only five minutes in. Such wisdom. What she says about mercy in the beginning.... profound and powerful.
She is so eloquent and her words are like poetry
She actually is a poet lol. Her poetry(spoken words) are on RUclips.
I am very thankful for this discussion with Jackie. Jackie, you are a blessing to people who are struggling with the issues of lesbianism, and for everyone who needs to understand the truth and consequences of that choice. I thank the Lord for your salvation and your willingness to share your journey in life, and how Jesus transformed you into the godly woman you are now.
The Lord bless you your family! I am blessed to have heard your testimony. So real!
this was incredible!!! I learned so much.
Jackie!!!!! 🔥 your testimony is for such a time as this!
This was such a great conversation.
Wow... Such a great conversation!
I love the point of looking at the Bible for gender roles. For example, Jacob loved the house while Esua loved the field. In today's society, Jacob would be considered a mamma's boy or soft while Esua would be considered manly nor more masculine. But they were both men.
She is FULL of wisdom 💙
Thank you for having her on.
Great interview! Excellent conversation!
This is what I needed, I have a lot in common with Jackie!
So grateful for you, Jackie!!✝️😊
Every time I listen to her speak, I gain deeper insight to self and Jesus.
I dońt know what Jackie means when she says being with a woman felt ´right´but that she also didn’t feel ‘peace’ when she was actively into lesbianism. I love her testimony and have her book which was great!
Fantastic interview.
Thank you Jackie🙏🏾
Thank you, Jackie, for sharing your grace through courage. You just brought me such hope for my daughter; that she can see who she truly is in Christ Jesus.
The power of a testimony 😊
She makes a lot of sense. I appreciate this show asking people like Jackie to share their stories, instead of just preaching how to follow Jesus. These types of testimonials, and the excellent questions from the interviewers, are better than any sermon.
It really makes me understand so much more. I love the respect shown here
I'm like, whoah! Jacki's on here!! Great being outside of the box in having her on!!
Praise God for your testimony Mrs. Perry
First time hearing about Jackie, love her confidence and her love for Christ
What a powerful message
Loved this! ❤️
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦Who is watching from SA and has a similar testimony??
Me
I just got here from here in south africa
Really been blessed by this
Thank you Jackie!!!!
Powerful Testimony. Thank you Jackie :)
Please pray for me over this topic
🙏🏽
Great discussion sent to my Nieces one adult one in High school I hope your journey will save and redirect others
I love the point made about how Jesus empathised with everyone and made connections with people, and the mention of Romans 1 and 2 warning believers of the hypocracy in judging others.
Love Jackie, so grateful for her life! 🙌🏾 our nation needs this
Bruh, powerful stuff!!!
I love this conversation. It was just that and not a shouting match where each is trying to convince the othet that his point of view is right. I loved the scriptual references. And yes, I beliveve that marriage is between a man and a woman.
Such a great testimony!
It really is all about Jesus, isn't it? He is the foundation and finisher of our faith. Modeling Christ and preaching Him to others- I really don't see who wouldn't fall in love with Him when they hear about Him. That love is what causes us to cleave to Him even though we are prone to wandering. It's that love that causes Him to sanctify us and prune us to conform to His image. It's all about Jesus!!
Thanks Jackie....for the righteous insight.
