This was such a MUST. I have recently been born again and I’ve been battling with attacks of embarrassment and shame that the enemy is trying to use to silence my testimony. YOU HAVE ENCOURAGED ME REGGIE. YOU HAVE HELPED ME BROTHER. I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU. Thank you for your “yes”. God bless you and your family
Continue to be encouraged brother! 💪🏾
Stick with it. You got this!!
I stand in support of you!🫂🤗
❤
Same!!! 🙌🏾😭
I'm so encouraged
Thank you for this podcast. I am one whom was also introduced to homosexuality as a child 6 years old BUT ALWAYS knew it wasn't who I was. Today I am delivered, married for 17 years with 3 kids.
JESUS
Thank God you are saved
Bless God for your deliverance continuously blessings upon you and yours amazing 🙏🎉congratulations
😢🎉
Praise God!!!
When he said "look into the bloodline " 🙌🏽🙌🏽. No one talks that.
That's right. There are some things that have roots in generational sin, and must be renounced and repented for.
@@Miss_DaniDThat’s the truth!! A lot of people don’t have this knowledge. This is why the Lord says my people perish for lack of knowledge. 😢
Apostle James Kalawya talks about it a lot in his ministry. I highly recommend
I disagree with that be ause God says that no child can be punished from a parents sin and vice versa
@@truthseeker4460 We’re not talking about punishment here. There are things that run in people’s bloodline and deliverance is needed in order to be set free. It could be Illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, or things like addictions such as alcoholism, drug addictions. I could go on and on. We as children of God need to know that spiritual battle is real and sanctify our bloodline.
"Sin mutates, it has variants"
those words hit so deeply praise God hallelujah.
Where is that in the Bible. I'm not being rude just trying to find sources.
@@rishardprelow3629from Genesis to Revelations- it’s like the whole Bible’s story; have you read it? Not being rude; it’s a legit question these days.
The literal words are not in there- the actual act & clear evidence of it spreading and varying from Adam’s times to Romans times to final Revelations times is more than clear in the Bible. But if you struggle with inferring or understanding overall ideologies when given context clues or blatant evidence, you might want to start there with assistance in order to help you understand what he means by that statement. I genuinely mean this too- no shade. ❤🙏🏽
This is my testimony ✋🏾😩🤚🏾. I’ve been so afraid to tell it all. I feel compelled to finally let it out. So many feel the same. I have NEVER felt that this was who I was. It’s going on 8 months since I’ve finally said YES to God and trusted in Him whole heartedly. He’s been keeping and sustaining me. I never thought it was possible. That homosexual spirit is real and strong. We definitely can’t do it our self. It takes God and God alone. But you MUST go to Him and be open to hearing and obeying His word. This video is so powerful 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
We non-homosexuals can't do it without God either...keep going to the only God who can.
Yep, true that. Like he says staying close and relying on God. Look up Restored to freedom by Nelson Schuman, he has books and also do deliverance session
Amen 🙏 God bless
You'll never outpray or outchurch your identity. Just accept yourself
@@grainofsalt2113 they have accepted themselves and have found their identity in the One who has created them. They have found grace in Him and there is grace for you too. All you have to do is freely accept it. He won't reject you or turn you away because of your past or how you have been living. He sees you and has declared you worthy of His love because He gave His life for you. He loves you. Jesus loves you and is waiting for you to come back to Him with open arms. There is freedom in Christ. True freedom. You don't have to be in bondage to your sins anymore, He is calling you back to Himself and all you have to do is accept him in your heart. Believe with your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord❤
This is powerful. I’ve been walking in my freedom from homosexuality for 6 years…All glory to Jesus Christ ✝️👑🔥
It must be difficult. More difficult than I could ever truly understand. The only analogous thinking I have is that it must be akin to being closted, yet your closet is made of glass. But what you see from your vantage as being freed, others see you as being trapped in a glass closet.
unless you are bisexual there will be no freedom; dont make yourself crazy; whether we are born this way or not; we certainly have no control; if this is what you want; i pray G-d made you bisexual; however if you are homosexual; you cannot change it
@@gaylefranklin Doesn't matter what HUMANS see, ALL WHAT GOD SEES
@@robleeg it matters ver much what humans see. If it didn’t, the civil rights movement would have been a useless venture. If it didn’t matter what humans see, then we wouldn’t see. Don’t be ridiculous.
I think having a very strong will you can stop having gay sex or relationships, but you will never turn straight if you are really born gay. Another thing is when you start living a gay lifestyle maybe because of a trauma or something like that, then you can truly leave but not then it is your natural sexuality. 🤷🏽♂
As a person who experienced this lifestyle and came crawling BACK to God completely worn OUT🥺…All I can say is I felt like I came back from a very dark pit full of demons, monsters and very scary energy😢I will thank God everyday I made it out😪
I literally came back humbled and kissing my parents feet for not giving up on me. They didn’t bend and lovingly kept sending me God’s word and prayed for my deliverance.
I am now blessed with a beautiful family and career. PRAISE GOD!!!😮💨🙏🏽❤️
I am not trying to be rude, but when you said you came 'crawling back to God' I laughed 😅 because those words gave me the image of a toddler who decides to run away from home, but starts crying to come back when they reach the door, and crawling back into Jesus arms, and Jesus patting your back and cuddling you, saying "it's alright baby, it's alright". God is a good Father.
@@Sarah-cj8rm Cause it was exactly like that sis!!!🥲Girl that sin tow me up!!!😩😩😩
🙏🏿
I am that parent, also, still in the waiting of my daughter's deliverance. Please lift us up in prayer!
@@Alittleblessed1 Prayer works😊
Thank you God for allowing this interview to pop up on my feed. Thank you Ezekiel and Reginald for having this candid interview. I’m a new believer and recently gave my life to Christ. Coming out of a homosexual lifestyle has been tough. On top of that overcoming lust, promiscuity, porn addiction. I will say since coming to the faith, the challenges of overcoming have been worth it. I still struggle to wrestle with my temptations and desires. The fight I put up is different now, I don’t let my sins overcome me easily as I once did. I just give it up to God. New Subscriber! ❤️
Wow! Keep going soldier
Wow praise God! Continue meditating on God’s truth about you. His word will continuously deliver you, may His Spirit continue to strengthen you and give you mighty power to overcome because the battle has already been won, we just have to persevere and never lose sight of the Lord Jesus Christ. 🤍🙏🏾
I agree. It’s a fight everyday. Thats why we have to be sanctified DAILY. Like you said bro. The temptation is there but, it has definitely been much easier to fight with the word. He always come through when I run to him. In our weakness his strength is made perfect. Keep fighting 🙏🏾
@nyijahcrawford Thank you for your encouraging words. Very appreciated 🤍
@kcs200683 Exactly! Thanks for the encouragement, and I encourage you to keep striving in the faith and getting closer to Jesus.
He said You can't give your body to something without also giving your soul.. bars
Such a needed conversation!!!! Thank you for sharing brother 🙏🏽
"I am here for those who did not subscribe, but have no community." I feel you.
This was GOOOOOOD! God bless you for using your platform to bring this deliverance forth. So many “a-ha!” Moments.
God is truly faithful, thank you Jesus !
GOD bless you Reginald for sharing this testimony! I am blessed. Been a homosexual for 12 years. GOD delivered me completely a year ago. Now engaged to be married to my beautiful Fiancé this year!
This is deliverance! It surpasses the practice of homosexuality, this hits all sin! And I am grateful to you both! Thank you for you all’s authenticity, honesty, and love for our Lord!
Homosexuality is not a sin
@@gaylefranklin you are so right, please forgive me act or practice of homosexuality is the sin.
@@blissfulmom21 no, you’re still incorrect. Those are not sins, either. Those are judgements, opinions. But not sins.
@@gaylefranklin I will pray about it and take it back to the one and only holy God to see what God reveals to me. However the Word of God states that it is.
@@blissfulmom21 it states many things. I hope you consider praying on our picking and choosing the things to which we adhere and why the most cruel always seem to turn up in the “yes” column
Reggie, Reggie, Reggie.....I thank God for you! To be honest, I've been thanking God for you for a very long time. As one of your youth leaders in the past, I've been so proud of you and the man of God you have become. I've been following you and your journey with Christ and ministry since being reconnected back with you on social media. This podcast was/is so necessary!!! An actual answer to my prayers! I have a daughter who is dealing with same sex attraction, which has been very difficult for me to deal with and understand as a Christian parent. I'm in the process of reading Jackie Perry's book for an understanding, but this 1 hour podcast coming from someone I personally know has helped me more, thus far! Thank you so much for your transparency! Thank you, Ezekiel, for asking the perfect questions for a clearer understanding. Our church is doing a Bible study now called, "Experiencing God". In that study, one of the main points is that God is always working. This podcast being exposed to the world is a perfect example of God at work because this can free so many people. The enemy is trying to have my child, but I'm rebuking that demon in the name of Jesus. This spirit has already affected the progress of her young adulthood, and I refuse to allow Satan will win this battle. I am a mother who will not back down to this experience of sin. I heard the voice of God say, "Let her go, and I'll do the rest. " This happened just a week ago and I've been attacked personally twice since then. But I am still trusting God and holding on to my faith in God. I'm going to share this podcast with her in hopes that it may be received as a word not only from God, but also from someone that can relate. Thank you, thank you, thank you for not only your transparency, but also your boldness in the faith and your obedience to God. This could have not been anything but God in such a time as this to allow this podcast to be created. Especially, as you stated in the conversation, that when it's addressed in the church no one really knows how to help!!! So much profound truth was in this conversation and I'm so grateful for you! May God continue to use you to change the world through HIS Word!! This has blessed me today and I know it will bless many others!! Always much love for you! 😘
Us prayer warriors will keep praying for you and your daughter.
Im an openly gay man who knows god and i am living my best life. To each his own
Knowing of him and having a relationship with him are not the same. I promise you if you truly seek him and know him he'll deliver you. I'm a witness.
Even the devil knows Yah. Obedience is must.
@@telezib203 I’m not judging
Everyone is different. Some people desire something different than just accepting being gay and living their best life. Personally I desire a family
I want a family. Being gay won’t stop that
Jesus I turn to you for guidance. As a single mom things are hard on me both of my sons are special needs. I started homeschooling them due to them having many issues in public school, I’m thankful because they have made such progress, but my hours to work are limited. Jesus give me strength I’m constantly struggling to provide for them I’m so ashamed. Lord please help me as I constantly struggle to pay bills and constantly struggle to buy groceries for my children. The devil wants me to give up. BUT no matter what I face I KEEP FAITH in Jesus! 💕
Sitting here watching and its like im watching and listening to myself. Thank God for his delivering power.
for real broe, its like im answering the questons 1st then he says what i would have thot
You need a Part 2 discussing what men can do to get freedom! Practical things that they can do, things they shouldn’t do and who and who not to journey with!
Remember that Jesus does the work you simply surrender the thing to him.. avoid ppl, places, things that tigger temptation.. ask God for an accountability partner one who has his heart.. speak scriptures on “overcoming” over yourself continually
Yes. Practicality is key. We know that men are prone to sexual thoughts. We gotts pray for our men. HalleluYaH!
This was so good. I really appreciate these platforms where Christians can be open and transparent and have it be a safe space to do so. This brother is so brave and we thank God for giving him this bravery to share his testimony. I hope and pray that as he continues to share his testimony and help other men who share a similar journey, that God may remove the stigma and judgment from the Christian community so other men can find support and love in their local church community. Reggie can’t be everywhere at once walking with and disciplining other men. So the local church needs to be a safe space like this band of brothers has been.
"You start as a victim, but you become a predator."
SCARY!!!
Wheww!!! That was a heavy statement!!
And that’s for ALL sin !
This might be true of victims but what does this have to do with homosexuality? The vast majority of predators are heterosexual. To subject a minority class of predator to be wholly classed as predators is ridiculous. To ignore the reality of whom the majority of predators are is cognitive dissonance.
@gaylefranklin Thank you for asking, even if this was a general question. I do not believe that the speaker meant predator in the very specific way of one who commits sexual assault or anything like that. I think he meant predator in a very general sense of someone who just pursues. Like how the speaker said how he was pursued ("victim" used loosely) but then began initiating sexual contact ("predator" used loosely). I do hope this helps. Though I could have heard and received him wrong. I will gladly concede to any clarity and corrections. Peace.
We truly need more conversations like this! This was amazing! As a man who just came out of the homosexuality lifestyle still dealing with temptations and feeling condemnation I feel much better after watching this video to continue to trust God! I wish I had a community of brothers who understand this and non judgmental. Truly thank yall for this!
Listen to Joseph Prince. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
I'm praying 🙏🏼 you find that godly community of brothers that long for.
This came up on my feed as a Godsend. This is an imperative conversation for many, especially those of us in church who are bound to this sin expression. Thank you so much. I shall listen again and share it.
I also got emotional when the brother had his moment about finally sharing his story.
I know GOD IS WORKING in my life.
Keep going💪🏽 and stand firmly on Colossians 2:13-15 when the condemnation comes. Plead the blood of Jesus over your mind, body and soul (perhaps taking Holy Communion very often) and declare God's scriptures over you. I found His Word has great power to sanctify us daily and deliver us from all darkness.
Colossians 2:13-15
[13]And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
[14]Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
[15]And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Whheewwwww. This is good for EVERYONE no matter what your struggle is. 😭😭😭🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Yes! That part! Like he said people be so quick to point a finger thinking one sin is greater than the other but sin is sin! This was so good for me for dealing with the sin I struggle with! He really encouraged me! So grateful this came up in my feed!
Thank you both for this conversation. As a man who has this testimony, I am grateful that this dialogue has been opened up. I felt called out when he said rise up. I’m here brother. 🙏🏾💪🏾
It is a cunning deception of the enemy to lable some sins as acceptable. God is calling us to the light and to courage. Praise God for your courage and your testimony. Only by his Grace and all for his Glory! 🙏🏿
I totally agree oldest trick from gossip, to being unloving, unscriptural divorce, to this. It's like a slippery slope.
Just wow. I cant believe i stumbled upon this after having a conversation about not knowing who i am outside of who ive been. The similarities in his testomony and my life is just mind blowing.
Coming from the LGBTQ community and denying the flesh daily!! And not living in that sin anymore..This is soooooo beautiful wow!!! God is good!!! Enough of God remains in me to keep from throwing in the towel! Because it’s easier!!! My GOD!!!! Thank you for your opennes!! I cried soo many times! Reading the awe of God now
God bless you.❤
Same girl.. I have moments where I’m really struggling though. Pray for me please!
@@PrincessPink-is6kf it’s daily fight!! I struggle my self it’s hard im not going to lie but we have to keep praying
He was abused….full stop. this is heartbreaking
Yup
It seems by women and men. Confusion all around.
@@reedaharris1341been there myself
Oh I have to go back and listen. I thought he said he didn't look at it as abuse. And I don't recall him saying that any of it was nonconsensual. He didn't say he said no. He didn't say he was forced. He also didn't give specifics about the ages of the people he experimented with. I would assume some of them could have been his peers. 🤷♂
99% of men are!
I’m am so grateful for this conversation! It’s such a blessing to see two MEN having a conversation of this magnitude. May God’s grace continue to abide with y’all 🙏🏾.
I hear everyone saying this was never who they were yet I am different! I got saved at 5 and filled with the Spirit, yet I still knew I was different. That has not changed.. if it has with others , praise God for them but everyone’s testimony is not the same. The CHURCH was the one who let me know what they assumed I was with name calling and dreadful sermons that used scriptures by twisting the interpretations and stories in the Bible to label them as God’s wrath against homosexuals. Romans and Genesis that needed to be researched before yelling out sermons which are both used by believers and unbelievers to this day. You can lie, steal, even commit adultery but be gay and it’s a major sin!! I was gay when I was born period.. and my feelings have not changed but my body has been brought under subjection!! My flesh has had to die but my attractions are still the same !! SO WHEN people say I was brought out.. what do you mean? Now you love women? Now you can get married and have a family, because most Christian’s believe that denotes deliverance…. ? IT MEANS NOTHING, however if that’s what you can do I praise God for you, but everyone is not the same. Also to be homosexual does not always equal having sex! Most equate the two. There are many who are able to be honest about their struggle but remain celibate!! LET’S GET REAL HERE! Just because you follow Jesus does not always turn you straight!! Paul said “ I HAVE A THORN IN MY FLESH! I SOUGHT THE LORD THRICE BUT HE DID NOT TAKE IT AWAY BUT SAID MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT!! .. Although I hear these type of post a lot.. they do not answer for all gay people and the battle between gay and the church rages on. THE CHURCH NEEDS A LITTLE MORE GRACE…. HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT THE PROBLEM But the hate and attacks from people who say they know God. Get some people who can show you the raw truth of the matter… then I’ll rejoice more!!
This!
Let's all get real about a number of things. How there are many more unscriptural remarriages where folks are living a sinful lifestyle because the divorce was scriptural. Being attracted to the same gender is not a sin it's how one lives their life regardless of attraction.
Reginald has spoken directly about what I am currently going through. I am in search of a community. Thanks for sharing this testimony. I would love to connect.
May the spirit of the Lord meet you
this is my struggle right now. I have come to realize that I will lose some friends out of my life because i realize this is not my life.
@@ferlandezthornton-bennett8014 may God's strength help you in the transition. You'll be okay🙏🏽
And in that transitioning of friendships, I pray you find the loving, helpful companionship of the Holy Spirit, that He will be your best friend above anyone.
This is by far the best discussion on this topic I have seen. It was honest, nuanced, and understandable. More churches and men’s ministries need to take note.
We honestly need a part 2! This was just the surface.
This is exactly what i needed. I’m struggling with homosexuality which has opened up the door for porn addiction. I’m tired and I need deliverance
@thabangmogale5565 My brother our sexuality never changes, don't allow such stories to confuse you, there's nothing wrong with being homosexual. In some cases people were not born homosexual but abuse(usually sexual) made them that way but even in cases like that one may remain gay even after they've healed from the trauma because you would have evolved into being gay due to your circumstances and it's not wrong, we are not the body or our sexuality, we are consciousness. Addiction of any sort is a problem including pornography but it's not homosexuality that's making you to be addicted to porn, anyone can be a porn addict and there's usually deeper emotional reasons for that ie unaddressed trauma or repressed feelings etc
@@edmundsishange3608 this page is for those who desire to be disciples of Jesus Christ. We lay down our desires, what we prefer and what we think and exalt the word of God as our truth.

Praying for you ❤
This was so good … my prayer has been that we who claim God function in a Grace that makes men feel safer to be restored and live free.
"These voices have to rise because I know I am not the only one" !!!!!!
!!!!
The breakdown of evangelizing the kingdom of darkness is God’s revelatory knowledge!!!
Leaving the church and finding Ifa was the best thing I could have ever done. This whole thing proved that.
Whats Ifa??
The " I don't wanna be no Jackie Hill" get me every time😂 cause most of us aren't, we Love Jackie and the rest of the folks that paved the way🙏🏾.
Felt this man’s pain in his testimony, “why me”. Precisely for this brother, you can help a whole group of people the church didn’t know how to help. You’re helping me bro to feel like I’m not alone.
WHOAAA. This episode was PROFOUND on SO MANY LEVELS. God has used you two to SET THE CAPTIVES FREE. The gates of hell have just been broken OPEN!!!! Many prayers and blessings to you both for protection, strength, and peace. Thank you for sharing God’s impactful life changing wisdom 🙏🏾
Talk about a powerful conversation. This is what ministry is all about. As someone who’s currently struggling with the same exact thing, everything you said resonated with me. I know that I have a high calling and this has encouraged me to navigate through it by staying close to God. Thank you for being brave enough to allow God to use you and glory to God for his love, grace and deliverance power 🙌🏿
Yoooo bro!!! #REPLAY That’s how yu preach deliverance. It’s a process. Only if it would be over so quick but the journey. My God. Thank yu for your humility and Obedience
I identify with Mr. Reggie’s entire story. It’s almost like we’ve lived the same experience. This has given me so much hope and encouragement. Thank you sir for sharing your story with the world.
"This is my sin; this is not who I am." I agree with this.
Im going thru this now. Thank you God for this conversation between these two Brothers. It’s a journey because I too feel like this is one thing that I did not choose. But all glory be to God. I know one day I will walk out of this and into whom God has truly called me to be.
It's sooo sad because like he said, you turn to the church and there is no one to help you because they don't know how. Sometimes it feels like the church picks and chooses which sins they want to deal with. I also feel that if people took the time to gain a better understanding of the struggles of homosexuality that people would have a lot more empathy. Good luck on your journey!
Ditto
I think only someone who has battled for their soul, for their spirit, for their relationship with god can speak this way.
The content started with a Christian buzzz word (homosexuality) but it can be applied to all sins that we fight against.
This testimony feels like my own battle with anxiety and depression.
No one really knows how to deal with it… we are just now being educated.
But it’s a constant battle.
Hearing him deconstruct his fight , has helped me.
I need to get to the root of my enemy.
Thank you so much for sharing.
May God bless both of you and keep you 🙏🏾🙏🏾
"If you're only looking at God to come out something, there's no hope and joy in that." I so feel that! I pray for the faith to believe that there's life on the other side of the grave. To use his metaphor. His testimony is so powerful. Sometimes, we feel so stuck in our sins that our life is over!
This was amazing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I love the candidness! I love the fact that he mentioned the fact that there are so many other abominable things in scripture but homosexuality is elevated above them all. I have a lot of brothers who I feel need to hear this so they don’t feel like they have to hide. Anyone who is a true discipler of God’s people regardless of their struggle should use this as a tool because walking with people through their journey is humbling and reveals alot about ya (from the person discipling). You can’t make people feel like they are less than human because of their sin choice or iniquity in their bloodline.
This video was tough for me because I am a wife to a husband that battles with the temptations of homosexuality. Even hearing the word sometimes triggers me, but hearing Mr. Reggie talk from a true and rare perspective was interesting. Thank God Reggie you have come to a place where your voice is no longer silenced, and you have become free from the grips of satan.
Wow! I don't know any other black women who have a husband who struggles with SSA. I'm not the only one!
@@breneew6566 yes, and I can assure you there are more. It’s just a very touchy and sensitive confession. I pray freedom for your husband as I continue to pray for mine. There is life beyond this❣️
Did he reveal this to you before or after he proposed marriage?
My dear sister…. You must free yourself and, in turn, free your husband. The only choice in this equation has nothing to do with sexuality (because that is not a choice)… it’s yours to remain chained to a fantasy that one day, you will be the one that makes him straight. It will not happen. He is outletting his true self in ways you likely are unaware because he is gay and a human being. At some point, when he runs out out mechanisms to tamp down his gayness, he will turn to you as the cause of his pain. I beg you to head off that inevitability and set the both of you free. Love is not judgement and judgement is so deeply rooted in why gay ppl remain closeted. Let go of that judgement and give love a chance for you both.
@@oddtrash He told me when we first started dating.
Powerful!!!!!!!!!!!!
When he said “I’m thankful that enough of God remained in me to keep me from giving up”!!!!!!!! Lord!!!!!!!
Ezekiel there is such a spirit of grace and excellence to this podcast!!!! This I what I desire to watch!!!! Blessings from The Most High and the divine deliverance this channel will bring!!!!
Kudos 🙌🏾👊🏾
OMG, this spoke to me so much.
About 8 years ago I interviewed someone who'd been delivered from homosexuality and I was trying to ask things as respectfully as possible but also had a lot of questions for him.
Great interview.
This is SO SO SO GOOD! This is a SIN conversation! One we can all relate to! Thank you for sharing ❤
That bloodline part! Whooo soo good! God bless you for your vulnerability brother. This is edifying the body with Truth and transparency!
This should be compulsory in churches. Decades this was my struggle and only recently have I experienced Gods grace as it relates to homosexuality.
Wow 😭🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Agreed. The Bible says through knowledge shall the just be delivered. The enemy has been able to run wild and loose because of the churches ignorance on certain topics. So many souls have been tortured because the church failed at teaching us that there is freedom in Christ.
Anecdotal experiences from individuals with internalised homophobia will not teach any of you in the Christian faith about Homosexuality! Why use the anecdotes of individuals to claim that gay can be prayed away? Jackie Hill Perry already testified to the fact that all the praying & even marriage to a man hasn't taken away her affections for women.
There are many, in fact the vast majority of people who are not heteronoromative or heterosexual who are completely fine with who they are and how they show up in the world.
@PWard324 that's the black communities' problem. It's not only the church's job to educate you. You must educate yourself. And even within those confinements it's based in ignorance and avoidance. Please further educate yourself on this matter.
I DO NOT intend to disrespect, minimize, or trigger anyone/ anyones religion or religious practices and beliefs. If you are easily triggered this comment is not for you. Engage at your own risk.
Being as respectful as I can to this situation i must say first and foremost this is incredibly one saided and most of all ignorant.
I appreciate the conversation that was had and the delivery at some points but overall this is based in misinformation.
First:
One fatal flaw within the black community is the tendency to behave and think as a hive mind ; Taking in and regurgitating information without doing proper research or having the right conversations with the right people.
Judging from this mans experience its clear that he is Bisexual .
(Bisexual(s) /Bisexuality: a romantic and/or sexual attraction toward both males and females, to more than one gender)
People within the black community unfortunately do not see this as an actual proclivity and gloss over the realness of this sexual orientation.
If you are going to talk about Homosexuality it would have been more beneficial to speak with an actual gay/homosexual man.
(Homosexual(s) / Homosexuality: a romantic and/or sexual attraction EXCLUSIVELY/ ONLY towards the same sex and/or gender)
Being bisexual and being homosexual are two different orientations and should be treated as such.
Second:
An exclusive sexual orientation cannot and has not been successfully "changed" meaning a heterosexual has never been "changed" into a homosexual. A homosexual has never been "changed" into a heterosexual.
Even within bisexuality there is so "change" just because they are engaging with the opposite sex does not mean they are no longer romantically or sexually attracted to the same sex or vise versa.
What people mistake as "change" is simply the suppression of ones sexuality against their own natural inclinations and happiness.
What alot (alot...not all) of individuals apart of the Christian community do is promote this idea of orientation change to the world when its based in miseducation. When you do actual research on the matter you find out that these "orientational changed" individuals are merly bisexual.
Messages like these has always had bisexuals individuals to the forefront in the place of homosexuals because bisexuals can actively choose rather or not they want engage in the same sex while STILL having an attraction to the opposite sex as homosexuals cannot.
However, this does not speak to the gay community or the gay experience. As bisexuals have the privilege of being able to live happily with either sex, a privilege that gays / homosexuals do not have access to due to them only being attracted to the same sex exclusivly.
Even when reported homosexuals "repress" their sexuality they're pushed into depression, anxiety, low self esstem and unfortunately some commit suicide.
While there will be others who still engage in their sexual orientation in private but lie to the public that they've been "changed" also known as a (Down Low/ DL) person.
Third:
Sticking with the theme of misinformation and the unwillingness to do actual research within the black community. The bible has been translated through many centries, interpreted through many diffrent languages and has actively had many scriptures tampered with and taken out of the text.
Alot of people dont know just how many words and transcripts were taken out of context. in addition to that most definitely dont know about the misisng books that was stripped from the bible due to the readers and scholars claiming that "it was inconsistent"
One reported book is called "The Book Of Enoch." Amongst others.
For example:
In Leviticus 18:22 in the Bible is often cited to condemn homosexuality and reads, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is an abomination". Or in other interpretations it says, "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination"
In the original untranslated scripture it did not speak of men lying with other men it spoke of a MAN lying with a BOY (pedophilia) not homosexuality. The term "homosexuality" wasnt even brought up into the bible until 1946 when the word was coined, created and PUT into the scriptures.
If you are serious about scripture and ACTUALLY informating yourself on this matter I advocate for you to look into the books and documentaries explaining this. I specifically recommend the documentary
"1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture"
Ontop of those FACTS (not opinions)
Most people specifically within the black community dont know that this religion was forced onto our ancestors. Many people of color during the slave trade was forced to assimilate with white america in order to stay safe. This was done in order to make our people forget about our tribes, traditions, cultures, and spirituality. To look upon a "white" God as our savior. These tactics were a way to brainwash us into their forced reality.
Fourth:
Furthermore, its so important to do your own research and not just lean on what others tell you.
1. First being gay was a mental disorder
That was debunked and a faulse.
2. Then being gay was against nature.
That was debunked as well. As all species have displayed bisexual and/or exclusive homosexual orientations. (Again reserch)
3. And currently when all of those claims have failed now its a "peronsal choice/ lifestyle choice"
Which has been and still is being debunked infront of our eyes. Being gay/bisexual has never been the problem its people using misinformation and misguided ignorance to push an idea that has been used in a untruthful manner.
We are here and we will always be here. You dont have to accept it but it is reality. I gave you the information to properly educate yourself and now its up to you to take action on this. Education is everything! Educate before you speak!
Thank you for your time.
@@Frimzeey I appreciate your need to try and educate me. And I honestly do see this point of view from a sociological standpoint but theres no debate here. People who try and disregard the Bible (almost always to suit their own personal agendas because they love the sin that theyre in) never cease to amaze me. And youre entitled to believe Gods word or not, but it stands. Gods word is truth and thats final! You dont have to believe that. Now heres my question for you since you like to educate? Were you molested? Where do you think the root of this confusion comes from? And how come people in this community arent standing up against child sexual abuse as strongly as they do their right to be gay? If youre bi, youre gay. If you have a sexual desire to be with the same sex, you are gay (no matter how cleverly crafted your paragraphs are). And to be gay is an unnatural desire. God is not the author of confusion. I dont want the worlds information or education. Let God be true and every man a liar. You dont get to change Gods design to fit your narrative, your desires, etc. You know what His will is and thats why you all go so hard to try and spin an alternate truth. But hey, if He isnt your God, you certainly dont have to submit to His will or His way. Thats what free will is but you also dont get to try and call right wrong and wrong right. I believe you deserve respect because youre human. Your sexuality is no ones business. If your identity is defined by that, thats the bigger problem at hand. Who are you without highlighting who you sleep with? Sheesh. Thank YOU for your time!
This resonated with me. Brother Reggie is a breath of fresh air. He is astute and pure in his testimony. He’s in the face of God. I hear it, see it, feel it. Much abundance, love and perpetual deliverance to both these brothers and to brothers and sisters everywhere.
Ezekiel’s transparency at the end regarding the embrace of another man sheds light on how the perversion of brotherly love shows up in culture today, to know that an innocent act can so easily be twisted shows how much work we really do have ahead of us. This podcast and Reginald’s testimony was truly enlightening, not to just homosexuality but sin in general. We so often like to place emphasis on one over the other but the Word is clear, there is no one greater sin. Thank you gentlemen for a much needed conversation.
This video blessed my LIFE!!! Struggling for years with this stronghold! Lord this blessed my spirit!
This was a powerful conversation! Awesome job men of God!
Wow, to God be the glory, I needed to hear this!! Fighting the good fight!! In Jesus' name 🙏🏽 I pray for the will of God to be done in all our lives
The leaders had never dealt with or had never 'dealt with it". That's a whole sermon. when leaders are struggling with the same thing they can't help you. l love that you always "believed God would deliver you" was the catalyst for you and anyone living a lifestyle of sin. "Believing in the rebirth before I saw it"Our key is believing God and what He says He will do. Our identity is in Christ, always, always.
So brave, so real and honest! I had chills every time Ezekiel did😮💨🙌🏽😀 Thank you, Brother Reggie for being willing! May God continue to strengthen and bless you ❤️
God is so good 🙏🏾Thank you so much for sharing. Ain’t nothing impossible for our God.
Thank You for Breaking the Glass Ceiling. Our church's ⛪️ especially the African American church's, needs this teaching . Dont ask, don't tell, and no one is being delivered
This was such a great episode. As I am wanting and continuing on my path to know God for myself. I have struggled with Homosexuality for a long time. I have some of the symptoms that he describes as loneliness, sadness, and really just feeling empty on the inside. But I’m trying to fight with the word of God to put him at the forefront of my life instead of relying on my own understanding. But I really wish that there was a group like this in my church. As I do have a passion to get to know the Lord.
Wow this was amazing!!! I resonate with so much of what he said in his testimony. Never ascribing that indemnity but not seeing the help I needed. Thank God for men like you and God Bless you!
Keep bringing light to the world bro!!!
Judgement is above our pay grade. You are saving lives big dawg. #keepgoing
Big hug with a holy kiss bro cause this was very insightful and inspiring. This was not just about homosexuality, but sin which we all were born in
For all of us that have listened and WILL listen - the irrefutable irrevocable FREEDOM of God is available and OOOOZZZING from this Podcast !!
WOW!!! What an amazing episode! Thank you for your vulnerability and allowing the Lord to truly use you!
I thank God for these brothers bold enough to have such a conversation. This is the problem in most churches. We don’t have the conversation. We need each other. I have somewhat of a different take on the subject but if these brothers have found peace, I say hats off. God bless
I truly appreciate this conversation it was very good I also denounced my homosexual lifestyle it was and still is one of the hardest things for me to come to terms with but god awakened me and I can’t just ignore it anymore one thing about God that people get twisted about Him is he doesn’t hate the homosexual he hates the act of homosexuality and his is the only one that can pull you out of darkness because he loves us 🙏🏾 thank you guys great great conversation in these last days it’s much needed
I love seeing the young adults come to Christ! I love how the gospel gets to the heart of human, how it beautifully dissects us and puts us back together; essentially, it’s the gospel and the science of humanity. ❤
Wonderful episode! I just recently shared my testimony with my church a couple of weeks ago. It took a lot of courage to do that but The Holy Spirit led me to share and i felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Thank you Ezekiel and Pastor Reginald for this amazing topic that is often avoided in churches!
This is powerful! Reggie’s story is so much like my own and I appreciate his vulnerability and Ezekiel’s giving him a platform. Thanking the Lord for endurance and grace for today, for deliverance and for Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior!
God is faithful and I am starting to truly see the importance of "holding on","fighting the good fight of faith", and praying. My story is similar to Reggies and I appreciate you for the transparency. I couldn't articulate then what happening in my life at a young age. I never wanted to be apart of the "community' but I couldn't understand the desires no had a safe space in church to explain them but watching this I see that I wasn't alone and that the enemy obliviously wanted me to feel that way. Isolation is so dangerous in so many ways because when it's happening in pain you feel as if no one cares, no one around you is listening and that you don't have any hope. I begged God for years for someone to relate to me and disciple me so I could get just a glimpse of freedom. But He didn't allow it and I do believe now I would've idolized that relationship which would've ultimately caused me to stumble in more areas. I grateful for this episode, my prayer now is that more of us who are fighting in faith to stay out of our previous lifestyles will band together and minister in sincerity to those who are still in. God bless once again.
This is such a great conversation and much needed. Thank you for allowing the Lord to use you
Let me just say, I have found my new favorite show! 🤗 Such a great conversation!
Reginald Robinson, I applaud you for your transparency and testimony and All that you have been through. Thank you for allowing God to use you in this way to free many men from their bondages and chains of confusion. You have been brought to the Kingdom for such a time as this for the deliverance and saving of many men who don't know how to break free of these chains of darkness. You are the light God has placed in this dark place in the lives of many. Hopefully we can meet one of these days and share with each other. God Bless you my Brother!
It’s amazing how God works. I just so happen to open up RUclips and this was on the top of my suggestions list. I love the fact that he is so relatable. Everything he dealt with I dealt with this helps so much and it’s so encouraging.
This was powerful. Take the emphasis off of the sin of homosexuality and focus on SALVATION. AMEN. my expression of sin may be different from yours but the key is learning to submit our respective expressions of sin. So POWERFUL!!
Lord CONTINUE to bless these mighty men that have surrendered themselves wholly to you. What an awesome thing to hear them minister the power, grace and mercy of GOD! I LOVE THIS! May they continue to push back the darkness and gain ground in the Kingdom of God, here on earth. Showing other brothers the love of God through community. This is much needed. We have to go deep!
So many broken and confused lives out here!
Our misery can truly become our ministry, when we allow God to deliver us and then use us, to bring others out of bondage.
I was truly blessed by this.
Carry on my brothers, carry on!!!!
This was a GOD MOMENT!! Thank you 2 brothers for being obedient!
I call this freedom talk. THANK YOU
God is SO good. Reggie, your story is EXACTLY mine through those younger years and high school. Grew up in the church, loving God….and yet I had THIS. WHY THIS? I just recommitted my life the the Lord 6 mos ago…and asking still…why. I’m changed and it’s a daily work, and I fall, and get back up; but God kept me throughout my craziness. That still small voice always kept me grounded despite what I was doing. I wasn’t that person. So you showing that God used THAT THING as your testimony!! Bro that hit me solid…OF COURSE, God turns what was used for evil and works it for our good!! Maybe THIS is what keeps my edge for God. And that is apparently my testimony. You both NAILED IT ON EVERYTHING YOU SAID. Thank you Jesus for leading me to this video. I want to hear more. How can I connect to resources you have?
Wow! This is so powerful! That hasn’t been my personal struggle but this helps with any fruit of sin. I’m sending this to everyone.
Why is there a homosexual demon, but not a bisexual or heterosexual one? 🤔
It's a whole series of connected demons, all under spirits of perversion.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I refuse to consider myself a sinner just because of who I am
Its all sin brother..and this was hinted on during the conversation... I think what makes homosexuality stand out is that it is generally against "nature".. but sins are equal..
There is it's just like he said heterosexual fornication although a demon is more acceptable because more people commit that one...5% of people are homosexual so it's more rare.
Amazing!! This testimony ! This word is for EVERYONE!!
Im gay, always have been and always will be. I feel 0 shame or need to repent for no reason
I certainly respect your position relative to how you have embraced living your authentic life. I feel exactly the same way. I understand the church's position on same-sex attraction. I fully believe that God truly does not make mistakes. We are who we are the same gender loving people because that is how we were created. I certainly can appreciate the anguish centered around trying to live a life that is pleasing to not only God I loved ones and more importantly ourselves. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to come to the conclusion that you will live your life based on how you feel God has created you. This certainly will not sit well with black church culture and even in some instances are culture period. I applaud your courageousness and I pray that God would grant you favor in every area of your life and more importantly that your life be fulfilled Based on God's purpose for it.
RIGHTLY SAID!
@@desmondsaunders4747- really - that lifestyle is unnatural plain and simple - do you agree ?
Can I ask a question? Have you askthe Holy Spirit to come into your life?
@kevinalston5492 someone doesn't know the difference between lifestyle and sexuality 😆
Oh this was good.... This was my journey as well!!! So glad this is being addressed. So many souls are being set free. Me included
This kind of stories have similar elements
1. A predatory adult who abuse a child
2. Blame shifting(most cases back to the child who was abused)
3. The need to be 'normal' in this case hetero. which emerges from the jealousy of seeing others being unconditionally accepted for being masculine and heterosexuals.
5. There is a strong sense of wanting acceptance from loved ones(society at large) hence there is a condition to be met which is being 'straight', which pushes the individual to seek possible solutions, in our case they ran to Jesus who redeems them, afterwards they come back to give stories of redemption so that they can feel reborn into what is socially accepted in this case heterosexual.
In my own thinking the answer is simple. Jesus said love your neighbor the way you love yourself.
My opinion is subject to correction.
This has to be my favourite interview of all time. This is my introduction to both men and I probably still don't know their names.
May Jehovah continue to bless you all
Thank you much to #WeNeedToTalk
Wow… To think I’ve been passing up on watching this video… I’m so glad I decided to watch it today! My God!!!
“I didn’t choose this,” broke me too. God is faithful 🙌🏾🙏🏾
It’s so great to see men of color discussing this topic.
Every man in the world should look at this. This discussion opens up the key to be delivered from sexual sin. It is only by the blood of Jesus that we can be delivered and your transparent discussion in this We Need to Talk, really made the truth clear. May you be blessed with many views. To God be the glory.
Oh my word! This is Fire 🔥 🔥 🔥. God bless you guys. Praying for this man's ministry. 🙏🏾
Praise God for his goodness and authentic nature we can inhabit. This was wonderful and needed ❤✊🏼👊🏼
I love his testimony, well spoken, very honest, GOD Bless you, you have helped countless individuals with your testimony.
Thank you for this! This is so needed!
Wonderful example of indigenous people trying to fit into a colonizer’s belief system to be “right and approved”. Thanks for sharing. May the Most High God bless us all with love of God, Self & Neighbor.
Awe of God is a great book. Learned so much throughout reading it.
