People like Becket Cook make me that little bit more in love with Jesus and cause me to examine myself. I am deeply moved by his testimony and pray God continues to protect and guide him. I'm in awe.❣️
@ hey, i just wanted to imform you of the fact that most of those laws were man-made. People of the past had very different ways of dealing with people who did things that were considered wrong by law at the time. Even Jesus himself said to a group of men who wanted to stone a woman. "Whoever has not sinned may cast the first stone." Nobody could do it because he was basically telling them that they had no right to condemn her for a mistake. He instead forgave her and said go and sin no more. I do hope and pray that God reveals his true nature to you someday. Not the evil ideology that people of today twist the bible into. God bless!
I am BLOWN away by this man & what The Lord did in Him. I can't get enough of his story & how he has just totally completely surrendered everything. Thank you, Becket!
Who is just in the eyes of the Lord? What sin be cast upon a new born babe? Who sayeth, who we shall love or not love for that matter. Before you judge your neighbor, look deep inside the man made contrived institutional church. Open up to new possibilities and new truths. I am what I am, for I can be no other. In which God is well pleased.
@margareth massac I have STUDIES the KJV BIBLE "&" *THE* WORD for over 45 YEARS & I can tell you this man does not know the SCRIPTURES as well as YOU who ALSO do not STUDY "THE WORD" Think People WANT GOD to have the SAME "Emotions" toward Same-Gender Unions as THEMSELVES -- HE DOES NOT The PROBLEM is we are Victims of what we have been CONDITIONED by REPETITION TEACHING OVER & OVER & OVER which caters to "our" old BREEDING NATURE "not" our New SPIRITUAL nature I am GLAD this man is IN LOVE with CHRIST JESUS even as I have for 45 YEARS now, but He STILL has A-LOT to LEARN from CHRIST "HIMSELF" which is EXACTLY what the ANCIENT SCROLLS TEACH [NOT the KJV "ENGLISH" TRANY] HE is been CONDITIONED by PHARISEE-SPIRITS that Homosexuality is ALWAYS "SIN" because of "mechanics" and then they PREY on CONFUSION of these people who simply has not YET found TRUE "Same-Gender" LOVE just as Heterosexuals seek - some of these for ALL THEIR LIVE TOO. The more Homosexual-natured people LEARN about the TRUTH in ANCIENT SCRIPTURE that Homosexuality in COVENANT is NOT SIN, then MORE people will be SAVED "in" their Homosexual State [bearing TRUE WITNESS] and thus FIND PROPER GODLY SAME-GENDER-MATES E.g Note GOD said that EVE was Adams proper "Help" Mate But "YE" TEACH that she was was his proper "Sex" Mate GOD did NOT say this, so you Pharisee & Scribes teach the people LIES When this man said "I love Paul as you can tell" I said out loud "I KNEW IT!" It is Typical of Pharisee-brought Christians The Problem, is too many Pharisaic-Christians follow & love & START with "PAUL's" TEACHINGS and NOT JESUS THE CHRIST HIMSELF This man "now" wants to be "ATTRACTED" [LUST] after a woman, & is BLIND to what JESUS SAID about that: "LUSTING for a WOMAN is "ADULTERY" [Matthew 5:28] & THAT is one of the TOP TEN ABOMINATIONS mentioned in BOTH TESTAMENTS! And it condemns HETERO-sexuality & we all know JESUS did NOT "Practice" Hetero-sexuality NOR "any" of the Apostles "nor" PAUL HIMSELF & JEREMIAH [OT] was COMMANDED by GOD "not" to do so -- So WHERE is your HETERO BOASTING NOW? Over Homosexual Neighbors You see if you try ti "ADD" CHRIST to PAUL, you will NEVER "understand" RELATIONSHIP with THE CHRIST, because you are following PAUL [PHARISEE] & NOT CHRIST GOD does NOT "CURE" Homosexuality because there is NOTHING TO CURE! It is a STRUGGLE / BURDEN for NOTHING! It keeps Homosexual people from having REST in CHRIST. It is satanic just AS OT Pharisees & Scribes [DEVILS] trusted in MOSES, So do NT Pharisees & Scribes [DEVILS] trust in PAUL This SHUTS UP the teachings of CHRIST JESUS from these types & REVEALS CHRIST unto BABES May GOD grant him PEACE & REST from HEAVY BURDENS [aka Homosexuality STRUGGLES] laid upon his shoulders imposed upon him as a Burden fro WICKED MEN who LUST after women in [SPIRITUAL] ADULTERY These FALSE teachings in Religion by NT Religious Leaders is what PREVENTS Homosexual people from finding LOVE-COMMITTED RELATIONSHIPS that will TAKE AWAY their EMPTINESS & LONELINESS. Because "satan" KNOWS that Homosexual People can only find Homosexual "SOUL" Satisfaction "IN CHRIST" same as Heterosexuals so "satan" DEPRIVES them of this by saying their sexuality is NOT LEGITIMATE & they much TRANSFORM their "FLESH" SHAME ON YOU LIARS & HYPOCRITES "LEAVENED" with PRIDE in your OWN FLESH [sex] ATTRIBUTES & seek to CLONE [assimilate] others into it [Just like WHITE RACIST do Races naturally different from their own --this is IDOLATRY & IDOLATRY is SIN #1 ABOVE ALL

Reading the bible has never resolved anything. It's used on both sides of every issue. It is like a fortune cookie, people keep reading the fiction.
@ Totally! My dad (a fundamentalist preacher) always said the KJV was "the authorized version" like some how God had authorized it. LOL! The only person who authorized it was King James and he was a pervert. It's a fact of history. What counts is how you live and this man is doing his best to be obedient. If you can say that, then that is enough.
Extremists used to claim that homosexuality was a choice. When it became clear that it wasn't a choise, they claimed that it can be healed. When that turned out to be false, they claimed that gay people need to live a lonely life with an imaginery friend. What will they claim next?
I love people’s personal stories of redemption. If only people could understand how different receiving a new nature is than having a new religion. When the old man has passed away, behold, all things are new.
I'm gay, and I've been doing my best to draw closer to Christ, I want to be delivered completely from homosexuality, I didn't want to be gay, I grew up in a very manly household with a strong, good, loving dad and brothers, but I was sexually abused as a child by older males that lived close to me in our neighborhood, and that's what took my manhood, and I only admitted this to a few of my brothers and family members. But every gay guy I have known in the past as a good friend openly admitted that they too were sexually abused as a child, because i admitted it first to them, I've yet to meet any gay man who wasn't sexually abused as a child. I want Jesus to heal me of my homosexuality , but at the same time I feel I haven't surrendered my life completely to Jesus though, so I ask that you all pray for me in regards to that, It's so hard for me right now, I'm just being honest, thank you, God bless
This touched my heart. I know the stronghold sex can have over your life. I struggled for years with sex. I am praying for you and you please pray for me. ❤️
Praying for you that our merciful Lord Jesus who changed Becket's life will do the same thing to you; praying that you have a personal encounter with Jesus that changes your life totally as what happened to Becket. God bless you brother
God set me free from the gay lifestyle 10 years ago. I was severely hooked on it but was never satisfied with it. Always trying to find relationships and hookups all the time. Plus I was a major alcoholic. I became a Christian at age 5 but fell away after high school. God had mercy on me.
Rusty, don't be jealous that Becket Cook surrendered his life to Jesus Christ and is pursuing righteousness and holiness unto God. Whose report would you believe, the report of the Lord (who is mighty to save and deliver) or the report of those ex-gay ministries? Some of those men's salvation may have been half baked and did not desire to diligently pursue sanctification and maintain total dependence on God. Why don't you consider giving your life to Jesus Christ? There is no time to waste. You have heard Becket's life changing testimony and do not let it stand against you when you stand before God on the day of judgement. God loves you.
The real question is why are so many straight Christians so happy about what Becket has to say (some of you are practically giddy) about homosexuality? Really look at that. The Church has this unhealthy obsession with homosexuality, they can't seem to get enough of it. I've seen plenty of RUclips vids of people giving their testimony on everything from God helping them overcome lust to the topic of adultery, struggles that affect YOU straight Christians, but you people could care less about those testimonies as evidenced in the comments section. You sure do pack the comments with these supposed "ex-gays" testimonies though. It's just this weird thing I've observed.
I just cried when he said “At that time God was absent in my life”. That just sounded like an extreme expression of absolute loneliness. Then I cried again when he said “sexuality is not my identity. Jesus is my identity”. Powerful testimony. Very powerful. Thank you. God bless you.
Wow... I'm listening to this on September 20, 2019, and it's 10 years today that you became a Christian! Such a powerful testimony! Thank you God so much for saving this man.
@@janmiller2419 - When Becket Cook is not being paid to denounce homosexuals, he is busy being one, a very active and effeminate production designer... www.thewallgroup.com/artist/becket-cook
@ he will remain celibate. If he falls, he is no different than anyone else who sins, has the problem with sex issues. You repent, get back up and go on. God is loving and gracious. Hopefully he will not get condemned and feel condemned if he does fall just gets back up and goes on with his life. He has said previously he does feel tempted but it went from 100% about thinking sex all the time 2 after he got saved if 10% and the longer he walks with the Lord it gets less and less. There are heterosexuals s that struggle with sex all the time. Or other sins. And you are not God. You have no idea what the statistics are in reality.
@ So being a production designer means your gay? Wow. I thought being g gay meant you were sexually attracted to the same sex. Smh. I feel so sorry for you. God forgive him. Touch his heart and his mind. Open the eyes to his heart. Show him there is nothing impossible with you. Take away his judgemental and gossiping tongue and gift him with your truth and kindness.
The more I hear this humble, gentle, funny, and transparent man speak, the more I Love Him. I am so grateful that this University hosted him. The Holy Spirit can do so much through him to open eyes and hearts in the gay culture. May God continue to bless him on this mission.
Great job Becket ! I was confronted by the Holy Spirit 30+ years ago and experienced much of what you shared. I too, was ready for someone to be faithful to me and Jesus was and is The One. Thank you for your candidness and keep sharing the Good News of freedom and joy that Christ offers !
Thank you Mr. Cook! I happened upon this "by accident. " My son who just turned 20 and was brought up in a Christian home came out to me as gay the day before he graduated high school. I KNOW he knows the truth. Saddened by it all but I love my boy and will never stop praying for Jesus to reveal himself to him in a very personal way. Your testimony gives me hope and a newfound resolve in trusting in the power of the Holy Spirit!
Am I just now watching this video and noticed your comment. First of all I m so sad for your momma heart. Always always keep your door open for your son, but never turn your back on the truth of the Word and what it says about sin. I ve seen so many parents fold under the pressure and do more damage to their kids and the possibility of them coming to the Lord. God bless you, keep up the fight for him.
Have Faith & don't punish or fight with him. My parents showed love but prayed and set boundaries... Even in other homes where sexuality wasn't in question, folks have no boundaries but let their children drink, smoke and break all type of moral and spiritual laws... In other words, keep your home from being a house of ill repute just because a child is defiant... Keep standards high: no sleepovers, no gay dating, family rituals involving Christ and wholesome engaging... GOD still reigns and remind your child that Jesus is yet a loving Savior.
He will never change,just learn to love him or you will lose him. He (becket) is only choosing to be single because he knows that he can never ever love a woman.. what he did was suppress his feelings, it doesn't mean that he is no long attracted to males. Learn to love your son for who he is. He only came out now because he feels like he ca move out if you don't want him a anymore
“What’s unfair is to have an intimate relationship with the king of the universe at the end...” amen. May God keep you in his ways all the days of your life❤️ Thank you for courageously sharing your story. We love the living God and with him everything is possible
A testimony and a half! I hope and pray that other homosexual will find comfort and peace of mind, knowing that Jesus is not against them but for them.
I loved how he spoke with authenticity and imperfections. He didnt have a perfect flow or cadence but spoke so truly and it spoke to me so clearly and so unlike people who are orators like many big “popular” preachers who I often feel are just sugar coating the gospel and doing feel good, be prosperous, be popular etc Christianity. The real gospel tell us what he said. Our hearts are wicked. Our good deeds are like filthy rags. We aren’t “good at heart” or “ good people”. We are all sinners saved by grace alone. Thank you Lord for your gift of salvation.
I love the way this guy speaks. Most people today think so negatively about Jesus and how people think he is extremely judgemental. But if you truly know him, then everything in this live is WORTH giving up!
The fact that one's sexuality is not your identity is so true. We live in a sexually obsessed world that tells us that being sexually active isthe end all and be all. Having a relationship with Jesus is the end all and be all.
Being children of God, re-united w/ our creator through Jesus is our ultimate identity. The devil has instigated this culture shift of sexuality being your identity, if you are gay. If you are hetero though, be quiet about it or you're not gay affirming and surely homophobic. So the trick of convincing gay people that is their identity is a slight of hand, and doesn't even make sense if not applied to everyone.
Message for Becket : You are an OVERCOMER !! (Revelation.) You are brave, honest, loving and kind to share the truth of your real life experience. Bless you, Brother ! By proclaiming the truth, you will give some folks a chance to reconsider their lives and choose "the way, the truth and the life (Yeshua)". As an Overcomer, you will be given special recognition by Almighty God, Himself ! Way to go, Becket ! I will keep you in my prayers. Your Sister in Yeshua 😇
Amazing transformation. Praise be to God! Even though I grew up in a Christian home, I also was not very fond of Christianity because of unwelcoming treatment from ‘Christians’ and people who went to church. Because of your testimony, I’m inspired to follow Jesus much more than before. He deserves our praise and our lives, every ounce of it. May God continue to use you to bring others to glorify the King of Kings!
GREAT results to a heartfelt testimony. Thank you Jesus for Becket Cook and his literally being called out of a lifestyle that ultimately destroys even though for a season it gratifies the flesh in every way. But the spirit of a man or woman can never be brought into a relationship with Christ, while the flesh is gratified to even the point of decadence. I know what it is to be delivered from a horrible lifestyle. May the Lord continue to bless Becket as he falls in love with JESUS the Man who is the only Mediator between God and man. Now Becket can know the greatness of JESUS and who HE is. We can never give up such a relationship.
You sir is the Paul of my days I'm deeply blessed by your testimony and everything you were saying went straight to my soul and awakening it. I'm 1000% sure this kind of drastic change doesn't come from slamming bible verses instead from the holy spirit himself. I'm encourage to proactively praying for my family and friends including homosexual to come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior May God continue to bless you keep you, make his face to shine upon you and strengthen you in your every day life. Thank you and I love you
I love Beckett! Thank you, Lord for giving him a conviction of sin and the desire to put it away. And for his heartfelt reaction to your offer of salvation! Thank you for that awesome gift that you offer to us all!
I am so impressed by your faith! I pray Gods protection over you and your ministry of truth! I personally know sone people that need to hear your testimony! I hope you can travel to many colleges and speak to the youth! I had so much respect for Ravi Z , guard your heart! Blessings and Thank you!
Glory to God for Cook's life and testimony. Salvation doesn't mean that you have to be alone for the rest of your life. God our creator is the one who gave us desires and feelings but we have corrupted those desires and feelings. My prayer for you is that God writes your love story. That you find a woman whom you can enjoy life with without guilt. A true union blessed and purposed by God because He alone knows and has the best plans for us better than we can ever dream of or imagine. Above all may God continue to overwhelm you with his boundless love and peace which is like none other.
Oh, God bless you, Becket Cook! Thankyou for that inspired message as relevant today as when Jesus walked on the earth, or as in the days of Noah or Abraham! I pray that the Lord bless you and keep you, and may the Lords’ plans for you be realized in this life! Amen!🙏🏻
Thank you Mr. Cook for your book and your inspiring story. You have been filled by the Holy Spirit's Grace and your faith in Jesus. I have known a similar kind of faith that have saved me many times in my journey ...We do get distracted during different stages in life but we could always come back to Jesus. God's essence within us will rescue us and keeps on leading the path. Some of us could open our consciousness to follow while others could keep on getting distracted. It gets to a point in life when you no longer wants distractions because the connection with Him grows so much that we no longer needs other things but to feel Gods love through Jesus. I am thankful for your story of life. You have proven how all things can be possible in Jesus Christ. A different kind of affection but mostly true love fulfillment in Jesus. 🙏🧡
Your testimony is still being shared today and Lord knows we need it now more then ever! Thank you thank you! For the Lord's church is being built and we needed you and he knew that! His plans are good 🙏 thank you King JESUS❤
God Bless You my Awesome Brother in Christ! I came out of the same lifestyle several years ago as well. It was such a struggle for me. Also dealing with it in context of it being an absolute sexual & pornography addiction. Then when getting heavily into drug use to self medicate & numb myself to the depravity of my life. After coming to Christ, I was so on fire for the Lord and tried so hard to overcome it all. I had even been Spirit Filled and Received the gift of speaking in tongues. However, for me, I felt I had to be 100% perfect in my walk. So, when really severe Temptations would present themselves right before my eyes or I would awake from a extreme sexual dream and fall, I would often go down so fast, condemn myself, hate myself and if I couldn't get it together would just excuse myself from the Lord's presence and even go back to drugs or drink a lot and even a few times attempted suicide. Then after being diagnosed with Cancer about 5 years ago and being turned over to Hospice as when it began affecting my heart and so many other things, I felt as if I'd won the lottery, considering that I would surely be able to keep myself in check until I died. Then one day in my bathroom while suffering with severe pain and having become a virtual shut-in due to then social anxiety, and going from basically an athlete and distance runner to a near skeleton of my former self, I found myself outside of my own body. I would pretty much always go immediately into Praise & Worship all by myself shut up in the bathroom. It was almost like my Prayer Closet and the Atmosphere had become so Transformed with the Presence and Nearness of God. The wall in front of me and the ceiling right above my head where I suddenly found myself was Radiating with Pure Light, Warmth & Peace like I'd never known. It was radiating through every molecule of the fabric of the Ceiling and Wall. Then I looked back over my right shoulder and saw my body leaned back, so perfect, so still and peaceful. Then I saw a thick Amber colored substance on my Shoulders and Upper Arms. I heard no voice(s) but immediately knew what I was seeing was all of the years & the weight of severe Pain & Fear I had been carrying pretty much all of my life. Then, instantly I saw the Amber Sap like substance begin to turn into tiny, tiny bubbles like Alkeseltzer bubbles and dissipate in to the air as it lifted. Then it was gone. Many years ago, I had heard the Lord speak audibly to me when I was so overwhelmed with fear, just before I had even come to the Lord. I somehow knew to say, "God! I can't take this! It's too much to bear!" Just then, I heard Him speak to my right and say in the most Powerful yet comforting voice. "I WILL NEVER SUFFER YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN BEAR". So, I realized that He was still, right then keeping that Promise. The pain and the Fear had finally become so much Greater than my Praise & Worship could rise above, so He literally removed me from both. The Pain & the Fear, so He could show me that He was taking it away. Just then I said, "Without actually speaking it from my Spirit Body, but just as if I could hear it, "I've got to see how That Feels". Then I was back, and it took me a bit to come back to my complete senses but knew I was back, still weak, but no fear & no pain. Then a few days or so later, still with the Heart Machine and everything I had to have since I was still refusing to let the Hospice Nurse move in, I was in the Bathroom getting myself together to go to the VA Hospital in Dallas for Labs, to Chemo/Oncology, etc., to have them gripe at me some more. : ) But, while looking in my Bathroom mirror I heard the Lord say, "You will Live & Not Die, to Proclaim my Glory & my Grace to many!" So solemn & yet so peaceful. I had to go right then to make it in time, and found myself thinking surely that was just me somehow trying to think the best, despite honestly hoping nothing had changed, so I could still go Victoriously to Heaven Soon! It took them so long to even call me in hours after all of the tests. Finally the same almost mean spirited female Doctor as always called me back into her office. She wasn't saying anything, just looking at all of my info, the numbers, the test results as if trying to find something negative to report. Finally she just shook her head halfway toward me and said, "I don't know What's going on, But We can't find "Anything, Anywhere"! Immediately the Holy Spirit restated that I was going to Live & Not Die. Honestly, I was very worried about having to Live again, and chance Hurting the Lord or ever falling away again. However, something has changed. Basically, as with you, it seemed the Lord just opened up every part of me and transformed me in such a deep, powerful way with such Compassion & Intimacy! For months I would wake up and sense His Love all around me, as if He was right there waiting for me to wake up, so He should rejoice over me, and share His Love for me. It was like something you eluded to about relationships you or one would be in, and being so in Love with them, it was virtually impossible to do anything to hurt them. Like you are so Addicted to their Love & Tenderness toward you that you knew you couldn't do anything at all to chance Losing that All Consuming Love that you never realized or understood you could or would ever find or have. Now, like you, I/We know the Depth of the Secret of truly being Secured in the Christian Life & Walk! It's simple yet at the same time so Very Profound! "It's all about, Falling Totally in Love with God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit. Saying No to self "In & With His Strength" and Yes to Him automatically. Also, feeding daily & continually on His Word, allowing Him, and the Holy Spirit to Totally Wash & Renew Us Daily in & with the Word & Power of the Explosive, Life Changing Power & Revelation of His Word! I am So looking forward to seeing you in Heaven soon my Brother! Love you with the Love of the Lord & am so Proud of You in your walk "In Him"!
This man is amazing & has made my heart ❤️ sing & feel so much better hearing his story! I needed to hear this story for a struggling loved one. Many unanswered questions have been presented here! Thanks 🙏 so much! GOD IS GOOD!
This is a powerful testimony Becket, thank you. As someone who only recently came back to God's reality only a year ago, after 15 years of wandering in the desert, I think we as evangelicals need to talk just as much about having abundant life now - as we talk about having eternal life in the future. May God continue to bless your powerful testimony and keep you growing from strength to strength.
Thank you Becket. What a beautiful, humbling, inspiring testimony of Jesus’ beautiful mercy, Love and kindness. I too could relate to your tears because when I had my conversion to The Lord after seeking Him and being involved in the occult I was convicted by The Holy Spirit and could see my wretchedness against Jesus’ Perfect Love and Mercy and cried copious tears. I love your quoting St Paul and agree wholeheartedly and if I may add when Paul was lamenting of his sufferings, things going wrong Jesus said to him “My grace is sufficient for you.” I love that you realise (and it concerns me greatly that some Protestant Christians do not realise this) that being redeemed by The Lord does not give you free licence to do as you please, follow your heart as you say as we are born in original sin and need to live within the commandments always seeking forgiveness in contrition if we fall and God’s grace. Otherwise the world would be in more chaos than it already is. Also if people were to die unrepentant in a state of mortal sin there is no hope of heaven even after conversion. The Bible is clear on this.
Wow!! Awesome testimony! I pray for my (gay) son to come to recognizing and aknowledging the truth of Jesus Christ. Please pray for him as you read this? He chose his homosexual identity over Christ after he came out.
Beautiful message from a beautiful person in Christ. You can feel his honesty and truthfulness. Thank you God for setting us all free who comes to you. God bless you my brother. Joy
I love Becket's testimony. God is so awesome. We are born in sin But through Christ our Lord we are Redeemed. God Bless Becket so much. God is awesome.
Becket, I am so moved by your story. God is so faithful. He reaches out to us, even if we are light years removed from His plan for us, and draws us to Himself.
I love jesus even though now I can't feel him I know he's around ,his words are truth "he'll never leave or forsake me"...this guys is an inspiration 🙌🙌🙌🙌
He's there keep seeking Jesus everyday thanking Him and asking Him to reveal Himself to you. When your Heart is ready, his Holy Spirit will visit you and transform you! Keep Trusting!
Becket definitely has found the true Saviour because he recognises how it was unfair that Jesus Christ, being sinless, have been sacrificed for all our sins on that cruel cross. Much of the world, though unbelieving in God, points a finger at God for all the suffering happening and not realise what God has done for us. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:16-17
I LOVE this testimony! This is the exact reaction I had when I gave my life to Christ...totally blown away by the fact that I now have eternal life! And that I finally know God and Jesus! I also cry at the thought of it all for all these 26 years since I found Jesus! No matter what sin God has called us out of, the gratefulness we feel for now knowing Jesus and truth and for Jesus paying the price for our sins is so utterly amazing! God bless Beckett as he shares his testimony for others to be inspired by! And it also goes to show that everyone is different in what their deep heartfelt needs are and how they react to the gospel. Because of those Christians having Bible study at the coffee shop, Beckett came to Christ! So, God help us as we just "cast our bread upon the water...for we do not know which will prosper, this or that" Ecclesiastes 11.
Awesome testimony! May God continue to bless & lead you, my brother in Christ; may He continue to use you to share His love & righteousness, and to help lead many to eternal salvation through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
You're amazing! Did you ever imagine in your life that your fame would come through being a true Believer of Jesus? When I gave my life to the Lord to me that was a miracle in itself! Praying for this awesome journey that God has you on! 👍
What a merciful,lovingly, God we have so kind and thoughtful of His children.He gives great deliverance to children and shows grace to us all forevermore. ‘ Grace grace Gods grace , grace that will pardon and cleanse within , Grace ,Gods Grace oh yes Grace that’s greater and higher than all our sins . Glory to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen
You know what Becket has and had that is pretty rare these days, is humility. He knew and knows, that he didn't have all the answers or know everything and had an open mind and heart. Like SO many people who have met Jesus, the common denominator is that they were looking for truth and are willing to be wrong about what they "think". That's when God can come in. Not when people are full of themselves.
This was an amazing testimony to the grace and mercy of God. That He would care to save any of us. What a great God indeed He is!! Jesus thank you for the cross and Your Blood for the saving of my soul!
Beautiful testimony of God’s pursuing love for us. And that’s how we should pursue others in authentic love and grace ! Thank you for this testimony !!!
So amazing. Thank you Becket for being obedient to Jesus. Your story is very encouraging to me, I need to pick up my cross daily and follow Jesus. God bless you.
Amazing! I'm so sorry that happened to u as a child. I often think it's hard to give her things up that I'm used to. You are an inspiration. If you can go out there and do this I'm sure I can probably handle what I'm supposed to do. Thank you for your honesty and humility you shall surely be blessed.
I pray my son Drake will denounce homosexuality before it’s too late thank you for sharing your personal testimony my heart hurts for so many that think this is ok.
My redeemer Lives I pray that one day you will accept and love your son for who he is.

Denouncing homosexuality has never made a person heterosexual. It just makes them anxious, depressed and sometimes suicidal. Please watch this true movie about a family with the same situation as yours... ruclips.net/video/sqIF50lSNVo/видео.html
Rusty Writer I don’t think Becket is saying that he no longer has same sex attractions. He confirms this at 37:32. I think he’s saying that he no longer pursues them in action because of his love for God and doesn’t identify as gay but may still have same sex attractions. That’s what saved people (sorry I’m not Christian so don’t know the right term) mean when they says they’re no longer gay.
Rusty Writer I don’t think he claimed anywhere to be asexual or heterosexual now. He’s not claiming that His faith has changed his orientation. Only the focus of his life is different now. Let him enjoy himself. If you’re right that there is no god then you and Becket have exactly the same fate in store. To both die and be forgotten by the universe. So let him be happy in his temporary faith.
It’s the most powerful sin sexual immorality on a list in the Bible it’s the number 1 sin , and I believe we are all born that way (heterosexual or homosexual) I didn’t have the power to stop ,God had to intervene then I finally got out , Praise His holy Name . Becket , keep going man , don’t stop you’ll got eternal life through Jesus Christ and the God the father
Becket Cook, I just found this video today (in Oct 2019). I love you my brother in Christ! SO appreciate your openness and honesty. Will pray for you, and for others who will find God through you!!
I was born into a Christian family and saved at the age of 5. Though my salvation "experience" was special to me I sometimes wonder what it would be like to have a salvation experience like Beckett.
Rusty Writer Well...its possible. The ANTICHRIST will probably come from Hollywood as it is the the LIE of all lies. And he will be the great deceiver. And actors and actresses there are nothing more than glorified liars...people who get paid to pretend to be someone they are not.
The experience that Beckett had, was an experience that God knew he needed it. Nevertheless, confessing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and believing in your heart that Christ has raised him from the dead you will be saved. The Holy Spirit experience can also come at anytime, but what really helps, is staying in prayer and praising and worshipping God, and believe me, I am a witness, the Holy spirit will overtake you and the Spirit is nothing like anything in this world. The Holy Spirit , which is a he, and not an it, is a gentle person, refreshing, much joy, much peace, much love, just out of this world and He's a presence that you want to stay in forever.
@ He had no professional finesse or structure in the speaking of his own "script", and Hollywood would be the last place to make pro-Christian scripts. PhilGeissler: never be ashamed of your own salvation experience, because God intended for it to be the way it is. One person will be moved by a rollercoaster testimony, never thinking God could save someone who dwelled so deep into worldly passions for so long. Another will be moved by a cleaner testimony, never thinking God could produce someone who could be understanding and respectable in character without needing the "experience" of starting out in a very un-christian world for so long. There must be a variety of testimonies because a variety of people need to see God's power of rescue , each in their own way that God knows.
Listening to this in 2020....January 5th. Wonderful testimony....To be delivered from ANY SIN is a testimony to the Power of Christ who paid the sin debt on Calvary’s Cross-to set us free-PTL!! Anyone has an update on this Brother in Christ?......Blessings!!
Gary Heron Joseph Nicolosi had some theories on this. But Becket says in this talk that basically the why doesn’t matter. We are all weak and depraved and we all have different desires. What’s important is that we give ourselves to God and live in his way despite what flavour of desires we have.
Isn't the whole 'your government gives you your identity' thing a, you know, a cult? I don't think you know how deptrimental it is for someone to not have an individualistic identity. If god didn't intend for you to have your own identity that you're completely free to explore, then he wouldn't have made it so damaging to have that impeded.
Thank you Becket! Please stay strong. Many are looking up to you in this struggle! We need you to show people that it is possible, it is worth it to give up homosexuality.
Becket I thank you for your courage to accept what God has given you. You are now free to be the best of you. What saddens me is that you were always a Christian for being Catholic is being Christian. You just didn't go dipper than going through the motions. The seed was planted unknowingly through your 12 years in Christian school and that's why you were always seeking for Truth. Praise God you have been found. Saints went through the same struggles and they are models for us as St Paul. Thank you for your testimonial. As Matthew Kelly puts it, "be the best version of your self".
I don't think he loathes himself. I think he sees himself wrapped in Jesus' righteousness and he's learning to see himself as he believes Jesus sees him. As a gay may myself, I'm happy for him for finding what he needs according to his faith. I don't know his full story but I have read some of his book and I tend to believe that he was never gay in the true natural sense like someone who is a natural born eunuch. Natural eunuchs are not castrated. They have their genitalia. Jesus speaks of them in Matthew chapter 19:12 and distinguishes them from eunuchs who are castrated (man made eunuchs). Anyway, my point is that his child abuse is what manifested this in him. I don't' understand why he doesn't like women now since he was supposedly attracted to the women in the Playboy magazine, but I'm not supposed to know everything. I'm not God. Maybe he is gay but he's just living that life where some in Christianity like to speak things one way, implying they're not one thing (when they are) but saying they're not is their way of 'speaking it as if it were already so'. Or, maybe he has said he's a gay man but a celibate gay man. I have not seen or read all of the sources where he has been interviewed, wrote something etc. so he may have said something like that. Nonetheless, I doubt he loathes himself.
Thank God for using this man to tell the world the truth! So inspired and touched by his testimony. May God continue to use him for his greater glory! Truly God is faithful and he is a good good father!
Go buddy! Thank you for your boldness and courage...and of course for taking the leap of faith and speaking about it. Coming out for the second time... the one that truly changes the trajectory of your life now and eternally, Xo
I love what he says about the plays being able to "answer the what but they could never answer the why. " That has always been a huge point of interest for me and I've come to know now from God that nothing, not science, not art, not philosophy will ever be able to answer our why questions like God does. "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." Proverbs 3:5
Amen!!! God bless this man!! So profound, true, and right. HALLELUJAH!!! Beautiful testimony of revelation and redemption. Thank You Lord for Your grace and mercy! Continue to bless this man with the Holy Spirit and the gift of discernment! Lord continue to bless His heart, mind, soul, spirit, and body with Your strength for Your Power is made perfect in our weaknesses. Lord YOU ARE faithful to complete the good work you began. Lord continue to break our hearts for what breaks yours and give us clean and pure hearts. Lord continue your mighty plan in this man's life abiding in You, the Vine (John 15) may he produce much fruit until the day Jesus comes back for us or until this brother goes home to be with You Father for eternity! Glory to the King of kings and Lord of lords! Glory to the God of salvation who made a way for us when there is no other way. Jesus you are the truth, life, and the way! The only way! Pour out and lavish Your love Jesus and Father God on this man and continue to grow him deeply rooted in your Word and righteousness like a mighty oak tree. Overflow him with rushing rivers of the Holy Spirit and Your mighty strong love. In Jesus name, amen! HALLELUJAH GLORY TO YOUR NAME KING JESUS!!!! Isaiah 61
I just love listening to you and will continually pray for you …. My brother is gay and atheist.. please pray for him to have an aha moment in Christ! We were raised in the church but I don’t think he understood or wanted to. My heart breaks for him. We’re old now and I love him . 😢😢
People like Becket Cook make me that little bit more in love with Jesus and cause me to examine myself. I am deeply moved by his testimony and pray God continues to protect and guide him. I'm in awe.❣️
What does god condemn more, married heterosexuals who engage in sodomy or homosexuals who do not engage in sodomy?
@@alanross3843 how the evil one has deceived you onto thinking married people engage in that sort of sexual activity!!!
@Mary Lancaster 👏👏👏👏👏💞💞💞
@ Says the God hater.
@ hey, i just wanted to imform you of the fact that most of those laws were man-made. People of the past had very different ways of dealing with people who did things that were considered wrong by law at the time. Even Jesus himself said to a group of men who wanted to stone a woman. "Whoever has not sinned may cast the first stone." Nobody could do it because he was basically telling them that they had no right to condemn her for a mistake. He instead forgave her and said go and sin no more. I do hope and pray that God reveals his true nature to you someday. Not the evil ideology that people of today twist the bible into. God bless!
I am BLOWN away by this man & what The Lord did in Him. I can't get enough of his story & how he has just totally completely surrendered everything. Thank you, Becket!
It is so hard to give up your sin, no matter what it is. I'm so thankful for God's grace and the holy spirit.
That’s our daily miracle, in Christ we conquer our sinful nature and grow in our new life!
Why give it up? You a quitter? Lol
God's holy spirit is the only force that can help you abandon any sort of sin and then help you to resist temptation.
Who is just in the eyes of the Lord? What sin be cast upon a new born babe? Who sayeth, who we shall love or not love for that matter.
Before you judge your neighbor, look deep inside the man made contrived institutional church. Open up to new possibilities and new truths. I am what I am, for I can be no other.
In which God is well pleased.
Yes, it is hard but the Holy Spirit makes it possible!!! Amen
I love his honesty and his knowledge of Scripture.
@margareth massac
I have STUDIES the KJV BIBLE "&" *THE* WORD for over 45 YEARS & I can tell you this man does not know the SCRIPTURES as well as YOU who ALSO do not STUDY "THE WORD" Think
People WANT GOD to have the SAME "Emotions" toward Same-Gender Unions as THEMSELVES -- HE DOES NOT
The PROBLEM is we are Victims of what we have been CONDITIONED by REPETITION TEACHING OVER & OVER & OVER which caters to "our" old BREEDING NATURE "not" our New SPIRITUAL nature
I am GLAD this man is IN LOVE with CHRIST JESUS even as I have for 45 YEARS now, but He STILL has A-LOT to LEARN from CHRIST "HIMSELF" which is EXACTLY what the ANCIENT SCROLLS TEACH [NOT the KJV "ENGLISH" TRANY]
HE is been CONDITIONED by PHARISEE-SPIRITS that Homosexuality is ALWAYS "SIN" because of "mechanics" and then they PREY on CONFUSION of these people who simply has not YET found TRUE "Same-Gender" LOVE just as Heterosexuals seek - some of these for ALL THEIR LIVE TOO.
The more Homosexual-natured people LEARN about the TRUTH in ANCIENT SCRIPTURE that Homosexuality in COVENANT is NOT SIN, then MORE people will be SAVED "in" their Homosexual State [bearing TRUE WITNESS] and thus FIND PROPER GODLY SAME-GENDER-MATES
E.g
Note GOD said that EVE was Adams proper "Help" Mate
But "YE" TEACH that she was was his proper "Sex" Mate
GOD did NOT say this, so you Pharisee & Scribes teach the people LIES
When this man said "I love Paul as you can tell" I said out loud "I KNEW IT!"
It is Typical of Pharisee-brought Christians
The Problem, is too many Pharisaic-Christians follow & love & START with "PAUL's" TEACHINGS and NOT JESUS THE CHRIST HIMSELF
This man "now" wants to be "ATTRACTED" [LUST] after a woman, & is BLIND to what JESUS SAID about that: "LUSTING for a WOMAN is "ADULTERY" [Matthew 5:28] & THAT is one of the TOP TEN ABOMINATIONS mentioned in BOTH TESTAMENTS! And it condemns HETERO-sexuality & we all know JESUS did NOT "Practice" Hetero-sexuality NOR "any" of the Apostles "nor" PAUL HIMSELF
& JEREMIAH [OT] was COMMANDED by GOD "not" to do so -- So WHERE is your HETERO BOASTING NOW? Over Homosexual Neighbors
You see if you try ti "ADD" CHRIST to PAUL, you will NEVER "understand" RELATIONSHIP with THE CHRIST, because you are following PAUL [PHARISEE] & NOT CHRIST
GOD does NOT "CURE" Homosexuality because there is NOTHING TO CURE!
It is a STRUGGLE / BURDEN for NOTHING! It keeps Homosexual people from having REST in CHRIST.
It is satanic
just AS OT Pharisees & Scribes [DEVILS] trusted in MOSES,
So do NT Pharisees & Scribes [DEVILS] trust in PAUL
This SHUTS UP the teachings of CHRIST JESUS from these types & REVEALS CHRIST unto BABES
May GOD grant him PEACE & REST from HEAVY BURDENS [aka Homosexuality STRUGGLES] laid upon his shoulders imposed upon him as a Burden fro WICKED MEN who LUST after women in [SPIRITUAL] ADULTERY
These FALSE teachings in Religion by NT Religious Leaders is what PREVENTS Homosexual people from finding LOVE-COMMITTED RELATIONSHIPS that will TAKE AWAY their EMPTINESS & LONELINESS. Because "satan" KNOWS that Homosexual People can only find Homosexual "SOUL" Satisfaction "IN CHRIST" same as Heterosexuals so "satan" DEPRIVES them of this by saying their sexuality is NOT LEGITIMATE & they much TRANSFORM their "FLESH"
SHAME ON YOU LIARS & HYPOCRITES "LEAVENED" with PRIDE in your OWN FLESH [sex] ATTRIBUTES & seek to CLONE [assimilate] others into it [Just like WHITE RACIST do Races naturally different from their own --this is IDOLATRY & IDOLATRY is SIN #1 ABOVE ALL
Reading the bible has never resolved anything. It's used on both sides of every issue. It is like a fortune cookie, people keep reading the fiction.
@ Totally! My dad (a fundamentalist preacher) always said the KJV was "the authorized version" like some how God had authorized it. LOL! The only person who authorized it was King James and he was a pervert. It's a fact of history. What counts is how you live and this man is doing his best to be obedient. If you can say that, then that is enough.
I read his book and Beckett went to seminary to study so he is well versed in the scriptures.
@@misteromanno558 HUH??
“All I know now is that I’m to be obedient”. That’s the bottom line for everyone. Praise Jesus! ❤️
Is that a pun? 😄
Arlene Russell Amen!
Arlene
Like a good trained puppy?
Extremists used to claim that homosexuality was a choice. When it became clear that it wasn't a choise, they claimed that it can be healed. When that turned out to be false, they claimed that gay people need to live a lonely life with an imaginery friend. What will they claim next?
JOHN L OPPERMAN To obey to God, it’s to become perfect, good and full. Try!
I love people’s personal stories of redemption. If only people could understand how different receiving a new nature is than having a new religion. When the old man has passed away, behold, all things are new.
Ray Simpson amen brother
I love when he says that he has a new heart and new desires. He has truly been made new.
@@brynasaurus no, he still says he's gay... He's not changed. You need to discern truth.
Amen
I'm gay, and I've been doing my best to draw closer to Christ, I want to be delivered completely from homosexuality, I didn't want to be gay, I grew up in a very manly household with a strong, good, loving dad and brothers, but I was sexually abused as a child by older males that lived close to me in our neighborhood, and that's what took my manhood, and I only admitted this to a few of my brothers and family members. But every gay guy I have known in the past as a good friend openly admitted that they too were sexually abused as a child, because i admitted it first to them, I've yet to meet any gay man who wasn't sexually abused as a child. I want Jesus to heal me of my homosexuality , but at the same time I feel I haven't surrendered my life completely to Jesus though, so I ask that you all pray for me in regards to that, It's so hard for me right now, I'm just being honest, thank you, God bless
This touched my heart. I know the stronghold sex can have over your life. I struggled for years with sex. I am praying for you and you please pray for me. ❤️
@@shaywilliams7969 amen , God bless you, I will be praying for you too.
Praying for you that our merciful Lord Jesus who changed Becket's life will do the same thing to you; praying that you have a personal encounter with Jesus that changes your life totally as what happened to Becket. God bless you brother
@@Hineni2362 thank you, God bless
Have you ever read “Setting Love in Order” by Mario Bergner? It was really helpful for me.
God set me free from the gay lifestyle 10 years ago. I was severely hooked on it but was never satisfied with it. Always trying to find relationships and hookups all the time. Plus I was a major alcoholic. I became a Christian at age 5 but fell away after high school. God had mercy on me.
Dion Feist please pray for my daughter who little by little is becoming a transgender
@@claudiakrobatsch4305 will do.
Claudia pls give me your son's name so I will include him to my prayer.And keep praying for him.
Ooops her name sorry
Claudia, your daughter can be happy and healthy if you change your judgmental attitude and accept her as she is, not as you think she should be.
Thank you Biola for being bold enough to host truth on your campus.
Rusty, don't be jealous that Becket Cook surrendered his life to Jesus Christ and is pursuing righteousness and holiness unto God. Whose report would you believe, the report of the Lord (who is mighty to save and deliver) or the report of those ex-gay ministries? Some of those men's salvation may have been half baked and did not desire to diligently pursue sanctification and maintain total dependence on God.
Why don't you consider giving your life to Jesus Christ? There is no time to waste. You have heard Becket's life changing testimony and do not let it stand against you when you stand before God on the day of judgement. God loves you.
Amen and amen.
God bless you, Rusty. Have a great day!
Praise God for leaders still willing to defend truth.
The real question is why are so many straight Christians so happy about what Becket has to say (some of you are practically giddy) about homosexuality? Really look at that. The Church has this unhealthy obsession with homosexuality, they can't seem to get enough of it. I've seen plenty of RUclips vids of people giving their testimony on everything from God helping them overcome lust to the topic of adultery, struggles that affect YOU straight Christians, but you people could care less about those testimonies as evidenced in the comments section. You sure do pack the comments with these supposed "ex-gays" testimonies though. It's just this weird thing I've observed.
I just cried when he said “At that time God was absent in my life”. That just sounded like an extreme expression of absolute loneliness. Then I cried again when he said “sexuality is not my identity. Jesus is my identity”. Powerful testimony. Very powerful. Thank you. God bless you.
God is for us, never against us. He is MIGHTY TO SAVE.
Wow... I'm listening to this on September 20, 2019, and it's 10 years today that you became a Christian! Such a powerful testimony! Thank you God so much for saving this man.
2022
Wow, thank you Lord for choosing Becket to reveal the truth to others !
Praise God for revealing himself in this way
@@janmiller2419 - When Becket Cook is not being paid to denounce homosexuals, he is busy being one, a very active and effeminate production designer... www.thewallgroup.com/artist/becket-cook
@ he will remain celibate. If he falls, he is no different than anyone else who sins, has the problem with sex issues. You repent, get back up and go on. God is loving and gracious. Hopefully he will not get condemned and feel condemned if he does fall just gets back up and goes on with his life. He has said previously he does feel tempted but it went from 100% about thinking sex all the time 2 after he got saved if 10% and the longer he walks with the Lord it gets less and less. There are heterosexuals s that struggle with sex all the time. Or other sins. And you are not God. You have no idea what the statistics are in reality.
@ So being a production designer means your gay? Wow. I thought being g gay meant you were sexually attracted to the same sex. Smh. I feel so sorry for you.
God forgive him. Touch his heart and his mind. Open the eyes to his heart. Show him there is nothing impossible with you. Take away his judgemental and gossiping tongue and gift him with your truth and kindness.
@ he never said he "went hetero". He says he is celibate.
If this man can be obedient to God for a matter as big as putting flesh attraction away, what is my excuse to keep gossiping and judging?
Yes!And the rest. I'm floored at his matter of fact attitude towards the whole situation.
Amen me too
@ I really pray you have a real authenticlife changing encounter with Jesus as Becket did. The best thing EVER.
Gossiping , yes, but how is judging wrong?
Amen
The more I hear this humble, gentle, funny, and transparent man speak, the more I Love Him. I am so grateful that this University hosted him. The Holy Spirit can do so much through him to open eyes and hearts in the gay culture. May God continue to bless him on this mission.
Amen 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I'm speechless, crying, and completely blessed. Thank you, Lord Jesus for Becket!
Great job Becket ! I was confronted by the Holy Spirit 30+ years ago and experienced much of what you shared. I too, was ready for someone to be faithful to me and Jesus was and is The One. Thank you for your candidness and keep sharing the Good News of freedom and joy that Christ offers !
Thank you Mr. Cook! I happened upon this "by accident. " My son who just turned 20 and was brought up in a Christian home came out to me as gay the day before he graduated high school. I KNOW he knows the truth. Saddened by it all but I love my boy and will never stop praying for Jesus to reveal himself to him in a very personal way. Your testimony gives me hope and a newfound resolve in trusting in the power of the Holy Spirit!
Am I just now watching this video and noticed your comment. First of all I m so sad for your momma heart. Always always keep your door open for your son, but never turn your back on the truth of the Word and what it says about sin. I ve seen so many parents fold under the pressure and do more damage to their kids and the possibility of them coming to the Lord. God bless you, keep up the fight for him.
Have Faith & don't punish or fight with him. My parents showed love but prayed and set boundaries... Even in other homes where sexuality wasn't in question, folks have no boundaries but let their children drink, smoke and break all type of moral and spiritual laws... In other words, keep your home from being a house of ill repute just because a child is defiant... Keep standards high: no sleepovers, no gay dating, family rituals involving Christ and wholesome engaging... GOD still reigns and remind your child that Jesus is yet a loving Savior.
He will never change,just learn to love him or you will lose him. He (becket) is only choosing to be single because he knows that he can never ever love a woman.. what he did was suppress his feelings, it doesn't mean that he is no long attracted to males. Learn to love your son for who he is. He only came out now because he feels like he ca move out if you don't want him a anymore
Or has he now change to be a straight man
"I feel like the luckiest guy in the world"... AMEN to that! Beautiful man....amazing testimony!
@Terry Daktyl And who are you trying to con
Glory to God you are amazing for stepping out and sharing your touching story.
“What’s unfair is to have an intimate relationship with the king of the universe at the end...” amen. May God keep you in his ways all the days of your life❤️
Thank you for courageously sharing your story. We love the living God and with him everything is possible
NG Was this statement in the video. It's so true❤️
I actually cried when I heard him say this.
St John's Soup Kitchen yes it is... listen to all of it if you can, God power is really at work through this man. God bless you
what a hero. This guy makes my heart soar with hope.
A testimony and a half! I hope and pray that other homosexual will find comfort and peace of mind, knowing that Jesus is not against them but for them.
What an incredible testimony❤️. Praise the Lord.❤️
God, too, showed me so much mercy and forgiveness in my life that I STILL can't believe it! Praise be to God!
God is truly is a deliverer.
Cool! It’s great to know where the presence of God is, trolls abide to try and steal the joy.
Yes, all god’s are myths, but the Lord Jesus Christ isn’t and I love Him.
Yes He is!!!
The Wisdom Couch good one☝️ 😩😂
Hahaha I’m glad you caught that.
I loved how he spoke with authenticity and imperfections. He didnt have a perfect flow or cadence but spoke so truly and it spoke to me so clearly and so unlike people who are orators like many big “popular” preachers who I often feel are just sugar coating the gospel and doing feel good, be prosperous, be popular etc Christianity. The real gospel tell us what he said. Our hearts are wicked. Our good deeds are like filthy rags. We aren’t “good at heart” or “ good people”. We are all sinners saved by grace alone. Thank you Lord for your gift of salvation.
Wow, wow, wow, this testimony is so inspiring!, 'My sexuality is not my identity....'
I love the way this guy speaks. Most people today think so negatively about Jesus and how people think he is extremely judgemental. But if you truly know him, then everything in this live is WORTH giving up!
The fact that one's sexuality is not your identity is so true. We live in a sexually obsessed world that tells us that being sexually active isthe end all and be all. Having a relationship with Jesus is the end all and be all.
Being children of God, re-united w/ our creator through Jesus is our ultimate identity. The devil has instigated this culture shift of sexuality being your identity, if you are gay. If you are hetero though, be quiet about it or you're not gay affirming and surely homophobic. So the trick of convincing gay people that is their identity is a slight of hand, and doesn't even make sense if not applied to everyone.
Message for Becket :
You are an OVERCOMER !! (Revelation.)
You are brave, honest, loving and kind to share the truth of your real life experience. Bless you, Brother ! By proclaiming the truth, you will give some folks a chance to reconsider their lives and choose "the way, the truth and the life (Yeshua)".
As an Overcomer, you will be given special recognition by Almighty God, Himself ! Way to go, Becket ! I will keep you in my prayers.
Your Sister in Yeshua
😇
Praise God for the transforming power of His Holy Spirit.. who saves us even when we don’t know we needed saving
God bless you, thank you for your testimony, your transparency, honesty! People respect truth.
@Spiritisalive1
....Especially if it's THERE ON TRUTH reflected back to THEM which can be IDOLATRY
His testimony is even more convincing because he admits his flaws, that he still struggles with wrong feelings! I'm proud of him!
He is so real for Jesus may God bless him and keep using him ❤️
Amazing transformation. Praise be to God! Even though I grew up in a Christian home, I also was not very fond of Christianity because of unwelcoming treatment from ‘Christians’ and people who went to church. Because of your testimony, I’m inspired to follow Jesus much more than before. He deserves our praise and our lives, every ounce of it. May God continue to use you to bring others to glorify the King of Kings!
You're a really lovely brave soul. Thank God you were given the grace and your heart was open enough to receive it.
Praise God for your testimony! Please keep sharing your testimony, to God be the glory! I was truly blessed by your life and commitment to Jesus.
GREAT results to a heartfelt testimony. Thank you Jesus for Becket Cook and his literally being called out of a lifestyle that ultimately destroys even though for a season it gratifies the flesh in every way. But the spirit of a man or woman can never be brought into a relationship with Christ, while the flesh is gratified to even the point of decadence. I know what it is to be delivered from a horrible lifestyle. May the Lord continue to bless Becket as he falls in love with JESUS the Man who is the only Mediator between God and man. Now Becket can know the greatness of JESUS and who HE is. We can never give up such a relationship.
Glory to God. God bless you more, precious Brother in Christ. Sharing with others.
You sir is the Paul of my days I'm deeply blessed by your testimony and everything you were saying went straight to my soul and awakening it. I'm 1000% sure this kind of drastic change doesn't come from slamming bible verses instead from the holy spirit himself. I'm encourage to proactively praying for my family and friends including homosexual to come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior
May God continue to bless you keep you, make his face to shine upon you and strengthen you in your every day life.
Thank you and I love you
I had listened to his testimony before and so blessed just hearing
him. Thank the Lord he got saved.
He has a GREAT testimony. God Bless him.
Such an honest profound, AMAZING Testimony! 'God I'm Yours Its Done' How precious!
I love Beckett! Thank you, Lord for giving him a conviction of sin and the desire to put it away. And for his heartfelt reaction to your offer of salvation! Thank you for that awesome gift that you offer to us all!
I am so impressed by your faith! I pray Gods protection over you and your ministry of truth! I personally know sone people that need to hear your testimony! I hope you can travel to many colleges and speak to the youth!
I had so much respect for Ravi Z , guard your heart! Blessings and Thank you!
May God continue to bless and use you, Becket Cook!! We need your voice! You are doing the work of God.
"I am to be obedient to His Word". That's so awesome.
May God keep you to endure till the end brother Becket. Keep sharing your testimony to the glory of God.
Glory to God for Cook's life and testimony. Salvation doesn't mean that you have to be alone for the rest of your life. God our creator is the one who gave us desires and feelings but we have corrupted those desires and feelings. My prayer for you is that God writes your love story. That you find a woman whom you can enjoy life with without guilt. A true union blessed and purposed by God because He alone knows and has the best plans for us better than we can ever dream of or imagine. Above all may God continue to overwhelm you with his boundless love and peace which is like none other.
Maybe God has a different path for
him to remain single, marriage doesn't automatically change the
same-sex desires
Oh, God bless you, Becket Cook! Thankyou for that inspired message as relevant today as when Jesus walked on the earth, or as in the days of Noah or Abraham! I pray that the Lord bless you and keep you, and may the Lords’ plans for you be realized in this life! Amen!🙏🏻
Thank you Mr. Cook for your book and your inspiring story. You have been filled by the Holy Spirit's Grace and your faith in Jesus. I have known a similar kind of faith that have saved me many times in my journey ...We do get distracted during different stages in life but we could always come back to Jesus. God's essence within us will rescue us and keeps on leading the path. Some of us could open our consciousness to follow while others could keep on getting distracted. It gets to a point in life when you no longer wants distractions because the connection with Him grows so much that we no longer needs other things but to feel Gods love through Jesus. I am thankful for your story of life. You have proven how all things can be possible in Jesus Christ. A different kind of affection but mostly true love fulfillment in Jesus. 🙏🧡
Your testimony is still being shared today and Lord knows we need it now more then ever! Thank you thank you! For the Lord's church is being built and we needed you and he knew that! His plans are good 🙏 thank you King JESUS❤
God Bless You my Awesome Brother in Christ! I came out of the same lifestyle several years ago as well. It was such a struggle for me. Also dealing with it in context of it being an absolute sexual & pornography addiction. Then when getting heavily into drug use to self medicate & numb myself to the depravity of my life. After coming to Christ, I was so on fire for the Lord and tried so hard to overcome it all. I had even been Spirit Filled and Received the gift of speaking in tongues. However, for me, I felt I had to be 100% perfect in my walk. So, when really severe Temptations would present themselves right before my eyes or I would awake from a extreme sexual dream and fall, I would often go down so fast, condemn myself, hate myself and if I couldn't get it together would just excuse myself from the Lord's presence and even go back to drugs or drink a lot and even a few times attempted suicide. Then after being diagnosed with Cancer about 5 years ago and being turned over to Hospice as when it began affecting my heart and so many other things, I felt as if I'd won the lottery, considering that I would surely be able to keep myself in check until I died. Then one day in my bathroom while suffering with severe pain and having become a virtual shut-in due to then social anxiety, and going from basically an athlete and distance runner to a near skeleton of my former self, I found myself outside of my own body. I would pretty much always go immediately into Praise & Worship all by myself shut up in the bathroom. It was almost like my Prayer Closet and the Atmosphere had become so Transformed with the Presence and Nearness of God. The wall in front of me and the ceiling right above my head where I suddenly found myself was Radiating with Pure Light, Warmth & Peace like I'd never known. It was radiating through every molecule of the fabric of the Ceiling and Wall. Then I looked back over my right shoulder and saw my body leaned back, so perfect, so still and peaceful. Then I saw a thick Amber colored substance on my Shoulders and Upper Arms. I heard no voice(s) but immediately knew what I was seeing was all of the years & the weight of severe Pain & Fear I had been carrying pretty much all of my life. Then, instantly I saw the Amber Sap like substance begin to turn into tiny, tiny bubbles like Alkeseltzer bubbles and dissipate in to the air as it lifted. Then it was gone. Many years ago, I had heard the Lord speak audibly to me when I was so overwhelmed with fear, just before I had even come to the Lord. I somehow knew to say, "God! I can't take this! It's too much to bear!" Just then, I heard Him speak to my right and say in the most Powerful yet comforting voice. "I WILL NEVER SUFFER YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN BEAR". So, I realized that He was still, right then keeping that Promise. The pain and the Fear had finally become so much Greater than my Praise & Worship could rise above, so He literally removed me from both. The Pain & the Fear, so He could show me that He was taking it away. Just then I said, "Without actually speaking it from my Spirit Body, but just as if I could hear it, "I've got to see how That Feels". Then I was back, and it took me a bit to come back to my complete senses but knew I was back, still weak, but no fear & no pain. Then a few days or so later, still with the Heart Machine and everything I had to have since I was still refusing to let the Hospice Nurse move in, I was in the Bathroom getting myself together to go to the VA Hospital in Dallas for Labs, to Chemo/Oncology, etc., to have them gripe at me some more. : ) But, while looking in my Bathroom mirror I heard the Lord say, "You will Live & Not Die, to Proclaim my Glory & my Grace to many!" So solemn & yet so peaceful. I had to go right then to make it in time, and found myself thinking surely that was just me somehow trying to think the best, despite honestly hoping nothing had changed, so I could still go Victoriously to Heaven Soon! It took them so long to even call me in hours after all of the tests. Finally the same almost mean spirited female Doctor as always called me back into her office. She wasn't saying anything, just looking at all of my info, the numbers, the test results as if trying to find something negative to report. Finally she just shook her head halfway toward me and said, "I don't know What's going on, But We can't find "Anything, Anywhere"! Immediately the Holy Spirit restated that I was going to Live & Not Die. Honestly, I was very worried about having to Live again, and chance Hurting the Lord or ever falling away again. However, something has changed. Basically, as with you, it seemed the Lord just opened up every part of me and transformed me in such a deep, powerful way with such Compassion & Intimacy! For months I would wake up and sense His Love all around me, as if He was right there waiting for me to wake up, so He should rejoice over me, and share His Love for me. It was like something you eluded to about relationships you or one would be in, and being so in Love with them, it was virtually impossible to do anything to hurt them. Like you are so Addicted to their Love & Tenderness toward you that you knew you couldn't do anything at all to chance Losing that All Consuming Love that you never realized or understood you could or would ever find or have. Now, like you, I/We know the Depth of the Secret of truly being Secured in the Christian Life & Walk! It's simple yet at the same time so Very Profound! "It's all about, Falling Totally in Love with God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit. Saying No to self "In & With His Strength" and Yes to Him automatically. Also, feeding daily & continually on His Word, allowing Him, and the Holy Spirit to Totally Wash & Renew Us Daily in & with the Word & Power of the Explosive, Life Changing Power & Revelation of His Word! I am So looking forward to seeing you in Heaven soon my Brother! Love you with the Love of the Lord & am so Proud of You in your walk "In Him"!
This man is amazing & has made my heart ❤️ sing & feel so much better hearing his story! I needed to hear this story for a struggling loved one. Many unanswered questions have been presented here! Thanks 🙏 so much! GOD IS GOOD!
This is a powerful testimony Becket, thank you. As someone who only recently came back to God's reality only a year ago, after 15 years of wandering in the desert, I think we as evangelicals need to talk just as much about having abundant life now - as we talk about having eternal life in the future. May God continue to bless your powerful testimony and keep you growing from strength to strength.
Thank you Becket. What a beautiful, humbling, inspiring testimony of Jesus’ beautiful mercy, Love and kindness. I too could relate to your tears because when I had my conversion to The Lord after seeking Him and being involved in the occult I was convicted by The Holy Spirit and could see my wretchedness against Jesus’ Perfect Love and Mercy and cried copious tears.
I love your quoting St Paul and agree wholeheartedly and if I may add when Paul was lamenting of his sufferings, things going wrong Jesus said to him “My grace is sufficient for you.”
I love that you realise (and it concerns me greatly that some Protestant Christians do not realise this) that being redeemed by The Lord does not give you free licence to do as you please, follow your heart as you say as we are born in original sin and need to live within the commandments always seeking forgiveness in contrition if we fall and God’s grace. Otherwise the world would be in more chaos than it already is. Also if people were to die unrepentant in a state of mortal sin there is no hope of heaven even after conversion. The Bible is clear on this.
Wow!! Awesome testimony! I pray for my (gay) son to come to recognizing and aknowledging the truth of Jesus Christ. Please pray for him as you read this? He chose his homosexual identity over Christ after he came out.
Beautiful message from a beautiful person in Christ. You can feel his honesty and truthfulness. Thank you God for setting us all free who comes to you. God bless you my brother. Joy
I love Becket's testimony. God is so awesome. We are born in sin But through Christ our Lord we are Redeemed. God Bless Becket so much. God is awesome.
Becket, I am so moved by your story. God is so faithful. He reaches out to us, even if we are light years removed from His plan for us, and draws us to Himself.
I love jesus even though now I can't feel him I know he's around ,his words are truth "he'll never leave or forsake me"...this guys is an inspiration 🙌🙌🙌🙌
He's there keep seeking Jesus everyday thanking Him and asking Him to reveal Himself to you. When your Heart is ready, his Holy Spirit will visit you and transform you! Keep Trusting!
Becket's testimony gives me hope for my loved ones. Thank you Jesus.
Becket definitely has found the true Saviour because he recognises how it was unfair that Jesus Christ, being sinless, have been sacrificed for all our sins on that cruel cross. Much of the world, though unbelieving in God, points a finger at God for all the suffering happening and not realise what God has done for us.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:16-17
I LOVE this testimony! This is the exact reaction I had when I gave my life to Christ...totally blown away by the fact that I now have eternal life! And that I finally know God and Jesus! I also cry at the thought of it all for all these 26 years since I found Jesus! No matter what sin God has called us out of, the gratefulness we feel for now knowing Jesus and truth and for Jesus paying the price for our sins is so utterly amazing! God bless Beckett as he shares his testimony for others to be inspired by! And it also goes to show that everyone is different in what their deep heartfelt needs are and how they react to the gospel. Because of those Christians having Bible study at the coffee shop, Beckett came to Christ! So, God help us as we just "cast our bread upon the water...for we do not know which will prosper, this or that" Ecclesiastes 11.
Awesome testimony!
May God continue to bless & lead you, my brother in Christ; may He continue to use you to share His love & righteousness, and to help lead many to eternal salvation through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
You're amazing! Did you ever imagine in your life that your fame would come through being a true Believer of Jesus? When I gave my life to the Lord to me that was a miracle in itself! Praying for this awesome journey that God has you on! 👍
What a merciful,lovingly, God we have so kind and thoughtful of His children.He gives great deliverance to children and shows grace to us all forevermore. ‘ Grace grace Gods grace , grace that will pardon and cleanse within , Grace ,Gods Grace oh yes Grace that’s greater and higher than all our sins . Glory to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen
You know what Becket has and had that is pretty rare these days, is humility. He knew and knows, that he didn't have all the answers or know everything and had an open mind and heart. Like SO many people who have met Jesus, the common denominator is that they were looking for truth and are willing to be wrong about what they "think". That's when God can come in. Not when people are full of themselves.
This was an amazing testimony to the grace and mercy of God. That He would care to save any of us. What a great God indeed He is!! Jesus thank you for the cross and Your Blood for the saving of my soul!
Beautiful testimony of God’s pursuing love for us. And that’s how we should pursue others in authentic love and grace ! Thank you for this testimony !!!
33:00 is the most powerful part to me in this terrific testimony!
Waiting for Becket’s book in the mail. Love how God is using him.
@ His testimony is sincere. Everyday is a daily walk of faith. I struggle with gluttony and I know that I was not "born that way".
So amazing. Thank you Becket for being obedient to Jesus. Your story is very encouraging to me, I need to pick up my cross daily and follow Jesus. God bless you.
Amazing! I'm so sorry that happened to u as a child.
I often think it's hard to give her things up that I'm used to. You are an inspiration. If you can go out there and do this I'm sure I can probably handle what I'm supposed to do.
Thank you for your honesty and humility you shall surely be blessed.
I am so moved and so touched! Praised be the Lord!
I pray my son Drake will denounce homosexuality before it’s too late thank you for sharing your personal testimony my heart hurts for so many that think this is ok.
My redeemer Lives I pray that one day you will accept and love your son for who he is.
Denouncing homosexuality has never made a person heterosexual. It just makes them anxious, depressed and sometimes suicidal. Please watch this true movie about a family with the same situation as yours... ruclips.net/video/sqIF50lSNVo/видео.html
Rusty Writer I don’t think Becket is saying that he no longer has same sex attractions. He confirms this at 37:32. I think he’s saying that he no longer pursues them in action because of his love for God and doesn’t identify as gay but may still have same sex attractions. That’s what saved people (sorry I’m not Christian so don’t know the right term) mean when they says they’re no longer gay.
Rusty Writer I don’t think he claimed anywhere to be asexual or heterosexual now. He’s not claiming that His faith has changed his orientation. Only the focus of his life is different now. Let him enjoy himself. If you’re right that there is no god then you and Becket have exactly the same fate in store. To both die and be forgotten by the universe. So let him be happy in his temporary faith.
@ You're not even a believer what are you doing on this site trolling satan get thee behind me
What a testimony to the Power of God to heal, deliver and save! Articulate, insightful and....handsome!
It’s the most powerful sin sexual immorality on a list in the Bible it’s the number 1 sin , and I believe we are all born that way (heterosexual or homosexual) I didn’t have the power to stop ,God had to intervene then I finally got out , Praise His holy Name .
Becket , keep going man , don’t stop you’ll got eternal life through Jesus Christ and the God the father
Wonderful witness to the true love of God. Becket-let Jesus finish the job. Allow him to fully deliver your flesh of the desire. He can!
What a blessing this testimony is to me. I have a greater understanding of those in my life who are gay. Thank you and God bless.
Becket Cook, I just found this video today (in Oct 2019). I love you my brother in Christ! SO appreciate your openness and honesty. Will pray for you, and for others who will find God through you!!
I was born into a Christian family and saved at the age of 5. Though my salvation "experience" was special to me I sometimes wonder what it would be like to have a salvation experience like Beckett.
PhilGeissler It is important to remember that each of our God stories is different and it doesn't make or mean we are less valuable.
Rusty Writer
Well...its possible. The ANTICHRIST will probably come from Hollywood as it is the the LIE of all lies. And he will be the great deceiver. And actors and actresses there are nothing more than glorified liars...people who get paid to pretend to be someone they are not.
@ explain????
The experience that Beckett had, was an experience that God knew he needed it. Nevertheless, confessing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and believing in your heart that Christ has raised him from the dead you will be saved. The Holy Spirit experience can also come at anytime, but what really helps, is staying in prayer and praising and worshipping God, and believe me, I am a witness, the Holy spirit will overtake you and the Spirit is nothing like anything in this world. The Holy Spirit , which is a he, and not an it, is a gentle person, refreshing, much joy, much peace, much love, just out of this world and He's a presence that you want to stay in forever.
@ He had no professional finesse or structure in the speaking of his own "script", and Hollywood would be the last place to make pro-Christian scripts.
PhilGeissler: never be ashamed of your own salvation experience, because God intended for it to be the way it is. One person will be moved by a rollercoaster testimony, never thinking God could save someone who dwelled so deep into worldly passions for so long. Another will be moved by a cleaner testimony, never thinking God could produce someone who could be understanding and respectable in character without needing the "experience" of starting out in a very un-christian world for so long. There must be a variety of testimonies because a variety of people need to see God's power of rescue , each in their own way that God knows.
I am so happy this man found Jesus and is living a God like life!
This testimony is amazing!! Just spoken truly from the heart about a God that is both loving and faithful, his name is Jesus. Wonderfully done!
Your testimony is a blessing for my life
Listening to this in 2020....January 5th. Wonderful testimony....To be delivered from ANY SIN is a testimony to the Power of Christ who paid the sin debt on Calvary’s Cross-to set us free-PTL!! Anyone has an update on this Brother in Christ?......Blessings!!
I see God in Becket Cook.
I love listening to Becket Cook, and love to hear his story, and the outworking of his faith/life in Jesus Christ.♥
Wow, what a testimony! Beautiful man of God!
Your identity is in God. Not HOMOSEXUALITY. That's a label God never gave to you or anyone.
So why do you think some people are attracted to people of the same sex?
@@scarfhs1 mistaken/false identity that feels real and natural....but IS NOT.
Gary Heron Joseph Nicolosi had some theories on this. But Becket says in this talk that basically the why doesn’t matter. We are all weak and depraved and we all have different desires. What’s important is that we give ourselves to God and live in his way despite what flavour of desires we have.
The King's Lady VERY well said.
Isn't the whole 'your government gives you your identity' thing a, you know, a cult?
I don't think you know how deptrimental it is for someone to not have an individualistic identity. If god didn't intend for you to have your own identity that you're completely free to explore, then he wouldn't have made it so damaging to have that impeded.
Thank you Becket! Please stay strong. Many are looking up to you in this struggle! We need you to show people that it is possible, it is worth it to give up homosexuality.
I am more motivated to write my book after seeing this!
Glory to God! Such an amazing testimony! Pause the Lord!
I just love this speech. Becket, you are a lovely child of God! God is Allmighty, he deserves our all praising!
Becket I thank you for your courage to accept what God has given you. You are now free to be the best of you. What saddens me is that you were always a Christian for being Catholic is being Christian. You just didn't go dipper than going through the motions. The seed was planted unknowingly through your 12 years in Christian school and that's why you were always seeking for Truth. Praise God you have been found.
Saints went through the same
struggles and they are models for
us as St Paul. Thank you for your
testimonial. As Matthew Kelly puts it, "be the best version of your self".
I love and very much identify with this man;He has a very special story that needs to be heard!
Congrats to Biola and to brother Cook for the courage to stand for this truths and for the Truth. May the Lord be gracious over all of you.
I don't think he loathes himself. I think he sees himself wrapped in Jesus' righteousness and he's learning to see himself as he believes Jesus sees him. As a gay may myself, I'm happy for him for finding what he needs according to his faith. I don't know his full story but I have read some of his book and I tend to believe that he was never gay in the true natural sense like someone who is a natural born eunuch. Natural eunuchs are not castrated. They have their genitalia. Jesus speaks of them in Matthew chapter 19:12 and distinguishes them from eunuchs who are castrated (man made eunuchs). Anyway, my point is that his child abuse is what manifested this in him. I don't' understand why he doesn't like women now since he was supposedly attracted to the women in the Playboy magazine, but I'm not supposed to know everything. I'm not God. Maybe he is gay but he's just living that life where some in Christianity like to speak things one way, implying they're not one thing (when they are) but saying they're not is their way of 'speaking it as if it were already so'. Or, maybe he has said he's a gay man but a celibate gay man. I have not seen or read all of the sources where he has been interviewed, wrote something etc. so he may have said something like that. Nonetheless, I doubt he loathes himself.
Such a powerful message!! God is great and merciful. This video could help so many people.
All we need is just that one testimony, then God does the rest! - God bless you
Thank God for using this man to tell the world the truth! So inspired and touched by his testimony. May God continue to use him for his greater glory! Truly God is faithful and he is a good good father!
Go buddy! Thank you for your boldness and courage...and of course for taking the leap of faith and speaking about it. Coming out for the second time... the one that truly changes the trajectory of your life now and eternally,
Xo
I love what he says about the plays being able to "answer the what but they could never answer the why. " That has always been a huge point of interest for me and I've come to know now from God that nothing, not science, not art, not philosophy will ever be able to answer our why questions like God does. "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." Proverbs 3:5
Amen!!! God bless this man!! So profound, true, and right. HALLELUJAH!!! Beautiful testimony of revelation and redemption. Thank You Lord for Your grace and mercy! Continue to bless this man with the Holy Spirit and the gift of discernment! Lord continue to bless His heart, mind, soul, spirit, and body with Your strength for Your Power is made perfect in our weaknesses. Lord YOU ARE faithful to complete the good work you began. Lord continue to break our hearts for what breaks yours and give us clean and pure hearts. Lord continue your mighty plan in this man's life abiding in You, the Vine (John 15) may he produce much fruit until the day Jesus comes back for us or until this brother goes home to be with You Father for eternity! Glory to the King of kings and Lord of lords! Glory to the God of salvation who made a way for us when there is no other way. Jesus you are the truth, life, and the way! The only way! Pour out and lavish Your love Jesus and Father God on this man and continue to grow him deeply rooted in your Word and righteousness like a mighty oak tree. Overflow him with rushing rivers of the Holy Spirit and Your mighty strong love. In Jesus name, amen! HALLELUJAH GLORY TO YOUR NAME KING JESUS!!!! Isaiah 61
I just love listening to you and will continually pray for you …. My brother is gay and atheist.. please pray for him to have an aha moment in Christ! We were raised in the church but I don’t think he understood or wanted to. My heart breaks for him. We’re old now and I love him . 😢😢
