ABOUT BECKET:
Becket Cook was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. He attended Jesuit College Preparatory
School of Dallas.
After graduating from Austin College in Texas, Becket moved to Los Angeles to pursue his
dream of writing and acting, finding success in both. He eventually went on to become a
production designer working with the top photographers and directors in the world on fashion
shoots for magazines such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, and for ad campaigns such as Gap,
L'Oréal Paris, and Nike.
Finding a new sense of freedom in L.A., Becket also fully engaged in his new life as a gay man.
He had a series of many relationships with men throughout the next fifteen years.
In September of 2009, Becket met a stranger at a coffee shop in Silver Lake who invited him to
his church in Hollywood called Reality L.A. Becket reluctantly agreed to attend the service.
After hearing the sermon that Sunday, Becket was utterly transformed by the gospel and gave his
life to Christ. He also knew on that day when God revealed Himself to him that homosexuality
was a sin and that he could no longer live that life. Becket was more than happy to count
everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus his Lord.
Becket spends much of his time in ministry speaking at churches, universities, and conferences
helping believers (and non-believers) understand this issue biblically, theologically, culturally,
and personally. Balancing grace and truth when teaching on this subject is of primary
importance. His goal is to challenge the current cultural narrative about sexuality in general and
homosexuality in particular by demonstrating through his personal testimony and biblical truths
that, yes, homosexuality is still a sin, and that following Christ is infinitely more satisfying and
joyous.
He has lived all over the world in major cities such as Rome, Vienna, and Tokyo.
Becket graduated from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University in 2017 with a Master of
Arts in Theology.
Becket’s book, A Change of Affection: A Gay Man’s Incredible Story of Redemption, with a
foreword by Francis Chan, published by Thomas Nelson, released July 30, 2019.

Just what eye needed to hear -
King James Bible
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
Rev 2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
Rev 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Rev 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Rev 2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Is there an update on this situation?
Hello. Is there a follow up to what happened with your friend? This is a year or more later now and I pray he pulled through, and moreover, that he is saved. 🙏💕
@@lynnef9330 i was wondering same
Me too!!
When my son was 12 years old he gave his life to Jesus. He took his Bible one day and went up and down our dirt road. He was telling some of the neighbors about the Lord. I would say 75% of our neighbors were already born again. He came home one afternoon and was crying. He said that one of the neighbors shut the door in his face. I lovingly looked at him and said son they shut the door in Jesus's face not yours. I said Jeremy they see Christ in you and that's who they shut the door on. He still cried but it made him understand better. His heart was so tender he was so new in the Lord and he was only 12.
Bless 🤗 I hope he still has that love for Jesus
May I ask how he connected with the Lord?
@@kristybarnes2563 Her came to me and said "mama I want to be born again." I knelt with him and he followed me in prayer. He knelt on his knees and prayed with me. I led him in prayer. He prayed: God I'm a sinner. I am very sorry for my sins. I believe Jesus is your Son and that He died on the cross for me. Please forgive my sins and save my soul from hell. Amen! He was 12. He's now 43.❤️✝️
@@kenthazara5477 I know who you are. That is all I'll reply to you .
@@grateful1929 grateful1929, I don’t know who you are.... why would I?
I’ll probably say a lot more....
Very sorry to hear that Becket. As a former gay man myself, this is the reality. Fact is the LGBT community will NOT welcome people like me. Not that the community has done me ANY favours in the past. But it's far more important to do right in Christ than to be eternally separated from God.
Amen
Well said!
So sorry Becket. I think you hit a cord with Michael and convicted him. Let us pray for Michael as well. You are Christ’s faithful servant.
Your are not a former gay men, you don’t just stop being sexually attracted to men, doesn’t work that way mate.
@@BenS-eu4es says YOU.
My Dad passed away in an ICU recently. We were encouraged by the staff to pray with him, sing worship songs with him and they overlooked their COVID protocols to allow as many as wanted to be around him in his final moments. Thank God I’m blessed to live in South Texas!!
You were allowed to do this, because you live in a Conservative and Republican-runned state. You have one of the best Governors - Greg Abbot.
Exactly. The biggest reason for Becket's experience is, well, L.A.
When I lived in Portland. Oregon, we had patients who would pray over their chemotherapy before receiving it. No one minded. It’s not a red state vs blue state thing.
Sounds like a beautiful experience. Becket lives on LOS ANGELES, I am so sad he had to live through this horrific experience.
When my husband passed away from COVID last year (Sept 2021) the hospital in Uvalde was so wonderful to us. They never pressured us to hurry, not before or after he died. In fact, the Respiratory Therapist/RN that was leading his care team held me as we prayed and after he was gone. We could not have asked for better treatment. So many prayers were offered up during that time. I am grateful for the respect and compassion our family was given during such a hard time.
Welcome to the club, my brother! I was redeemed from the LGBT community as well and I've also lost friends. COUNT IT ALL JOY!!! God is alienating you to take you to a higher place in Him. Keep going and be steadfast. It's TOTALLY worth it!!!
Bless you brother 💪🏼
Blessings.
Praise God 🙌🏻

I’m so very proud of both of you. God bless you both.
I so appreciate everything you do Beckett. I was in the LGBT lifestyle for 20 years and then i truly met Jesus. I still struggle with SSA but live celibate and strive to live a Christ centered life. You have been a true inspiration and God is using you to reach so many. I will pray for you and your friend Tom as well as Michael.
God bless you, Matthew.
Praise God for your new life in Christ, Matthew!
The Lord bless you, Matthew!
I understand the SSA struggle and the struggle is very real. but we are considered very blessed because God has shielded us from sooo many other things that we didn't have to deal with. Let's continue to keep our eyes and hearts on Him, our heavenly Father and our Lord and saviour, Jesus Christ.
Ironic: persecution is what the subject of this video is. Religious persecution. The reason Tom drank himself to death is also persecution. Why do “Christians” judge someone’s sexuality (or anything else for that matter)? There is NOTHING wrong with being gay. Please stop this hypocritical behavior. This is why “Jesus’ children” are feeling so left out these days. Just love everyone. For the love of God.
Becket, be gay…….it’s fine! Yes, you’ll lose the followers, but you’ll gain so many more.
May I encourage you sir… I am an ICU nurse and God has used me many times to reach those at eternity’s door. I consider it an honor to do so. I believe that this’ ministry’ is possible because of prayer, not just mine, but of those who are praying for the patients in the unit. Continue to pray and trust God that your prayers are in the golden bowl before His throne and God receives them as a fragrant offering. God bless you 🙏🏽 Well done.
How are you doing 😊😊👋👋
Thank you Rosabel! Jesus put you there for a reason. Praise God!!
God bless you & mightily reward you for what u do. Think of it, one day you will get to see those you helped usher into the kingdom of heaven. Nothing in the world could compare to that!
I'm a nurse I was a visiting nurse I reassigned from my position because it was causing me alot of stress and I know God was giving me signs to leave. My finale 2 weeks I was just going to walk away from the job, my mom told me don't quit my assignment so I didn't. When I listened to what my mom said then last week I had so much joy in my task, I ran into 3 patients who just needed someone to listen and help them with their burden and God used me so much. In the last week of my job I felt so much peace and understood my assignment. It's not about money thats just a blessing that comes with my assignment, but my true calling is to show the Love of Christ through me to my patients.
Amen and Amen.
I was an ICU nurse and I am so sorry this happened to you. I pray these people come to know the lord.
The worlds gone mad. Christians are easy prey nowadays to devour.
Keep going Becket. I lost my marriage and family life because I’m a committed Christian. The Bible says I’m blessed!!!! And I have lots to look forward to in heaven at least!!! I will certainly be praying for ‘Tom’ and Michael too. ❤️🙏
And You have a warm heart as I read what You have written..😊
If they hated Jesus, they will hate the Jesus in you!
Becket, listening to your experience has brought on tears for me. Praying for you and your friend “Tom”. May God’s incredible love be a soothing balm on your heart. May the greatest physician be with Tom.
What a powerful statement 🙏
Yes I feel that verse too. I’ve sinned ... a lot. I’m so grateful to Jesus that he is no respector of persons and opens his arms to anyone that will believe he died for those sins and forgives us. Throws that sin away as far as the east is from the west. And there is no condemnation to someone that has understood this. And the Holy Spirit will help you be strong. The Rapturo is soon . Praise Yeshua Jesus my Savior. . ❤️🕊
Didn’t the bible say this would happen . To stop Christianity . They are stopping services in USA and Canada . Unbelievable times .
AMEN. TRUTH.
Beck, the dark don’t want to be around light. But it still hurts.
It shocked me when I heard what happened to you. I live in Namibia, Africa. In our hospitals you will find bibles in the rooms and nurses praying and singing to the sick and dying. May God bless you with all you are doing.🌟
That's beautiful Annika.
Here in the UK we are not even allowed to say "God bless you" in case we offend someone
🙏💜🙏
Wow! That's beautiful. Namibia citizens are truly blessed in that way! Alleluia! From sister Kelly in Florida, USA
Becket: Welcome to the world of those who are straight. Once you declare your hand, you will automatically be labeled homophobic, hateful & bigoted. If u leave "that group" you will be ostracized. However, we love you Becket & best of all, Jesus loves you.

All Christians, lets keep Tom and Michael in our prayers. Beckett, I'm praying that you wiil continue to hold Jesus' Binner high. God, protect and keep Becket
Absolutely
When I see people want to pray for what could be evil, I think would you pray for Satan? I would pray for Tom.
@@1960ARC I get it, but the Bible does say we should pray for those who persecute us.
Yes, amen!
@chrisseh100 you're nuts,. My grace differs to yours! I have no control over those that are going to hell, only God does.
It wasn't directed at you -- you pricked his spiritual conscience. He's not worried that you'll upset Tom. He just wants to keep you at a distance from himself, because the Holy Spirit is working on his heart. He feels anger and shame. Let's pray for him. We're all sinners saved by grace!!
Yes, we fight not against the flesh and blood but the powers in principalities.
Amen!!!
Absolutely true !
Sandy, I think you have hit the nail on the head. However, it’s sad he couldn’t visit Tom, but whether present by Tom’s bedside or not, his prayers are still heard by God and are as meaningful toward Tom as if he was there.
It's not pleasant but ignoring reality isn't helpful. There are people that hate you just because of your faith. First hand experience.
The power of your prayer over your friend disrupted the enemy's plan. Very inspiring the way you handled the opposition. Love your work. God Bless.

Stay strong, Becket, Michael feels threatened and using the little power he has in deciding who sees your friend in the ICU. You can meet up with Tom, after/when he is discharged and he can decide for himself whether or not to see you. Please know that your listeners appreciate you very much, your honesty and your integrity. I will pray for Tom and Michael 🙏
The world hasn't helped your friend, he drank himself practically to death. If you were a Buddhist he wouldn't have had any problem. Something about the name of JESUS that ruffles feathers; and Jesus was ALL LOVE, MERCY AND GRACE. what a shame, and having so much anger speaks volumes about the state of one's heart. Becket, you planted seeds, and your brothers and sisters support you and your friend completely. May God bless your friend and choose for himself to surrender to the Lord and forsake this world that has offered him NOTHING.
Sorry that happened Beckett
Gosh Becket I admire the fact that you are do up front about Jesus. Michael must have been really challenged and it has probably brought up loads of pain he has buried. I will pray for him and Tom and you for your continued encouragement
Could not have said this better -
@Christa cloud, well said.
Praying for Tom and Michael's salvation. God bless Becket, a light in the darkness.
🙌🏻❤️
Amen!!! Let’s lift them up!! Our God is bigger our God is greater ❤️
Beckett should have you on his show! I know you've been a believer most of your life haven't you? I remember an interview you gave years ago about your faith. I love seeing Christian celebrities getting together in Hollywood. There's so much need of Christ in California and all over the states and world!
Praying 🙏
Hi ms. Jackson, It’s good to know you’re a Believer 🙌🏽🌈✝️ p. S. I’m a fan of yours!
Basically, two religious groups are developing today. One group holds firmly to the Word of God and the other is compromising with the world. It's going to get a LOT worse.
Many will fall away
It brings tears to my eyes. Keep the faith, things will get better before the end and many will be truly saved and adhere to biblical truth.
Agree
They’re all on the same side in the fight against Satan. Satan’s job is to divide and conquer religious groups to distract from the real enemy.
This reminds me of the ten virgins ♡♡♡
Thank you for your stand for Christ - I am 69 years old, a born-again Christian for most of my life - my family has abandoned me because I reported 'abuse' in my church here in Canada and then took it to the leadership of the organization - I was abandoned by my family who are also 2 of the leadership in their respective communities and I understand the hurt you are feeling - Stay strong IN CHRIST
Amen!
Well done for doing the right thing, that took courage
Thank God for all my Christian Brothers and Sisters
You are awesome you are in the family of God
I am so sorry. Speak truth and don't hide evil.
People are literally fighting with all their strength to go to hell.
It is so sad.
Only thing that is left is to pray.
“The only thing left to do is pray and “I would say the first thing anybody should do is pray! Good comment though
Yes well said & So true..
@A Rare Sophisticate 🙄🤣. And you are offended by Muslims and every other religion that isn't yours
Actually god sends people to hell, not the people. 1 god created hell. 2 god makes the rules and governs the universe including souls to be judged. 3. since he makes the rules, it is ultimately up to him to send people to hell
Telling people they are going to hell, even if you mean well, rarely will convince people they are loved. The apostle Paul never mentions hell. He does say that God's kindness lead to repentance. Shalom
Jesus said we would be hated for HIS Namesake in the last days! The Name Jesus offends MANY today 😭😭😭
Yes unfortunately it does.
I don't know if the guy tell g this story is no longer gay. This is the first time I have seen him but I watched because I do believe if you preach the word that it makes the demonic very angry. Jesus is coming soon, very soon.
God bless 🙏💞🙏
The tables have turned concerning Christians in many aspects. The spirit of Jezebel has been released. Our war is not against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness. Eph. 6:12. They need deliverance! Lord please intervene in this situation. In Jesus name amen.
Would be great to have an update on this. What saddens me as well is that making a political statement about “the community” mattered more than allowing a dying friend love, companionship and comfort from a dear old friend. Very sad indeed.

Miracle in the ICU: Tom Update The Becket Cook Show Ep 39
Thanks, Becket :) xx
Wow! So sorry Beckett, that u had to experience that… but. U did get to pray over him, lay hands on him!!!! I am an RN and the ‘unconscious’ can HEAR, so he heard the word of God and he may have received it!!!!!!!! Oh joy, joy, joy! What hope! Love u brother in Christ❤️✝️
Amen!! Imagine to have a friend pray salvation and life over your life! What can a gay lifestyle give him right now? Jesus is perfect and can give him eternal life in perfect harmony! Praying for both Michael and Tom - they’re both desperately needing a Saviour, one doesn’t know yet.
Does a patient with a blood burst in his brain hear, too?
❤️
@@user-lv4ok9vo5o Anything is possible with God! My brother was on life support after having a massive brain aneurysm. My sister and I called out to Jesus because He said if two or more of you are gathered together in my name, I will be there in the midst of you. We stood beside his hospital bed and asked the Lord to please save his soul. They say hearing is the last thing to go so I’m hopeful my brother also heard our prayer for him. He was taken off life support after his organs were donated.
@@carolbradley4845 So sorry to hear about your brother. Sounds similar to what happened with my dad. It was just me, but I played his favorite hymn a lot and stayed with him every day in hospital. My family was extremely religious but I watched them since we lived together for about 30 years so ik what they were actually like in private. I kinda always thought he didn’t know what was going on, or if he did he probably didn’t want me there. My parents really, really hated me. Anyway, ig it’s possible he could have truly repented on his deathbed but I wonder how because he was a vegetable.
Just remember that the enemy is in Michaels ear. The enemy does NOT want you to have access to Tom. Your fight is not with flesh and blood. Pray that the Holy Spirit will soften Michaels heart. I’ll be praying for Tom. God Bless you!
Thank you for all you do Beckett! I lost one of my best friends for speaking God’s truth when she became engaged to a women. I told her that as a Catholic I could not attend her same sex wedding and that I love her too much to support her eternal damnation. Suffice to say my words were “damaging” and “toxic” and she could no longer continue our friendship. I pray for her conversion daily. (She is a part of the gay-affirming Methodist church)
@Monica Martin: gay affirming “church” has nothing to do with the Church of Christ.
Some churches accept biological realities and understand that Bronze Age people don’t have the understanding of nature that modern science does. . Sexuality in humans is more genetically detailed and more complex than just the XY and XX you learned about in high school. I’m a cis het Christian with a biology degree.
ICUs do try to not let visitors upset patients. If they felt you would upset him they wouldn’t let in. Unconscious people can still hear and react to what’s being said.
Becket, I love you. Your gentle nature and intelligence is such a strength. You are so sweet yet so strong with honesty. I truly pray to have your grace. You weren’t allowed into the ICU because your prayers were working. God was moving through your prayers. Keep praying on your end because it is working. Prayers here. I love you, my brother in Christ.

Michael should be acting according to Tom's wishes. Instead he is allowing his personal feelings to come before that. I will be praying for Tom.🙏🏻💕
Same thought as I keep thinking!!! When Tom pulls through, imagine his thoughts on knowing that the person he entrusted with his life or death decisions really had his OWN interests at heart. Scary.
That's quite the assumption.
I was part of the community, and people like Michael make me happy I’m not. Hang in there! You’re doing good work.
Sooo happy to hear your shows . JESUS IS WORTH ANYTHING WE MAY GO TROUGH !! Never stop doing what you are doing . Always have faith , God is always faithful ❤️❤️❤️
Your Bible verses are spot on. I wanted to encourage you with Bible verses but you already found them 🤗 be encouraged, brother in Christ. Don’t give up, the harvest is almost at hand. Btw I’m also an ICU nurse from LA, recently moved to Dallas. Keep on praying for the patients! For their suffering and salvation
This is what I've learned in my 23yrs as a Christian, those who preach "tolerance, everyone is welcomed, and acceptance" the loudest are never any of those thing's.
I noticed this as well
A few years ago I woke one morning to a short moving vision, a head and shoulder view of a small group of people holding short spears that were lit like torches. All of them were snarling and yelling at me, although I couldn't hear anything. Just as one man in the front of the group threw his fiery spear directly at me, the vision ended. It shook me. It was a stark reminder for me to keep on the whole armor of God! Christian persecution is inevitable, and we know who's behind it. God bless you!
Wow! a couple months ago I had two of almost the exact same dream within a 2 week period. It was kind of like a barn setting, Paul (the apostle) was sitting imprisoned on the side, there were a couple official people at the head of the barn, some people off to the side and then myself and someone else further away but facing the official people. They shot arrows at the people and then I knew they were going to shoot us, and shortly they gave the order. Thats where it ended. Very similar to your vision!
I’m sorry you were treated so poorly. The scriptures you read brought me comfort, too. Thank you for boldly speaking about Christ. Prayers made.

I am so sad that this happened to you Becket. I prayed for Tom and Michael. May peace and love reign in the hearts of all involved.
So Michael made it about himself, essentially. When Michael said, "you're working against the LGBT community," what he was really saying is, "you're working against me." It wasn't about Tom, clearly. It was all about Michael.
Its the spirit of pride.
ABSOLUTELY.....
It’s always me , me , me in the LBGTQ community
Reminds me of when my gay brother was on deaths door in Dallas Hospital. It was such a spiritual battle. Especially w his gay friends. Jesus won that battle. My brother converted and left Dallas to come live w our parents. He passed 3yrs later. But I plan on seeing him again.
The hate from unbelievers is real. But we stayed in Gods love and that’s why Satans scheme didn’t work .
🙌🏻
Same god that ordered genocides on children right?
@@BenS-eu4es get out of here with that. Homosexuality isn't real. It's when someone dates the same sex to vicariously nurture their true self that has become lost through child abuse or a result of a core wound.many lesbians and gays alike have deeply buried misogyny, trying to replace love with power as they've been convinced they are faulty at childhood conditioning that tells toxic ideals of what it means to "be a man or lady" .Anyone who promotes a homosexual lifestyle is only keeping traumatized ppl traumatized and mistaking sexual release with "healing" which again, is promoting promiscuity. That's increasing the risk of std exposure and transmission. It's like affirming sex addicts of their addiction. Most homosexual relationships don't last for this reason. Have you seen the suicide statistics for transgenders? Ppl are born the way the way God intends. God fills the void, and heals all wounds.
@@BenS-eu4es god doesn’t order anything it’s called free will
@@BenS-eu4es I think a lot more research is in order here. I would suggest, since you are already on UA-cam, go look up a Bible teacher like Mike Winger. That's good solid stuff. ~Heather ~
I’m soooo happy to hear you quoted the Scriptures. What a blessing, what a joy to see how God is moving in your life. Stay strong brother in the face of persecution. God bless you dear one!!!!
God bless you, Becket. You are helping so many to understand the truth concerning Jesus, homosexuality, living for Him, how our world has become so upside down. You are in my prayers. Your voice is desperately needed in our culture and world. You are so very loved. Jesus in you is beautiful. Stay strong in Him.
This event has unleashed a flood of prayers and army angels!
God bless your witness, Becket!
Prayers for you, your friend, Tom, and his friend, Michael. Love conquers all.
WOOO!!!! GLORY TO GOD! I FEEL THAT! HAHAHA! TAKE THAT DEVIL!
AMEN
Becket, you are such a mature Christian man. You are full of grace and truth. Your ministry is a blessing to this world. I adore your relationship with Jesus. Thank you for your courage in sharing this. I will be praying for miracles for your friends. May Jesus open their eyes! 💗
🙌🏻
Will pray for you just focus on the cross stay at the feet of Jesus will pray for your friend and his friend.just give them the love of Jesus.God will come through
The Word does not come back void. GOD BLESS you, Becket.🍃🌷🍃
It’s very encouraging to hear your story and journey…as believers of Jesus we indeed don’t fight against flesh and blood but powers of the evil one… my love and prayers for all you do..
Thank you! God Bless
Pls forgive Michael he does not know the impact of his actions against u. Lord bring salvation to both michael and Tom in JESUS name amen
Becket, I’m so sorry your friend “Tom” is in such condition and I’m sorry that you are not able to see him again. It’s truly heartbreaking. I will say a prayer for you both. Also I pray the Lord would replace Michael’s heart of stone with a heart of flesh. Being bitter that way always comes from a place of pain. He clearly needs Jesus. Being angry and bitter takes a toll on a person. Thank you for sharing such a personal story. You’re awesome and you’re appreciated!🙏🏼❤️
TY!
How are you doing 😊😊👋👋
@@BecketCook praying will not solve anything
@@BenS-eu4es o' yes the will Prayers offered up in faith Are very Powerful with God many People Are Healed true Prayers AMEN♥️🌟🌤
You are blessed Becket! I’m deeply sorry for how Michael treated you. Great is your reward in heaven!🙌🏻♥️
Yes, it’s happening! CHRIST is our and the worlds only hope!
I have been rejected as well for being a Christian but I know God is on my side, so I read the Bible to strengthen me.
Am going to watch your video tomorrow because I have to go to bed, I wake up early, (from France) but I want you to know that I am praying for you
May you stay strong in your faith
May our God bless you and look upon you with favor
May the Holy Spirit be your comfort and your guide always
Amen
Amen

My prayers Are going up right now for Michael. It sounds like his distain for the church is deeper rooted in his desire for the church! Just thinking out loud… Thank you for this video
I worked in hospitals for a long time and saw many of these occurrences even with family. I was quite shocked to see so much dissension, hate and unforgiveness in this world even in the face of illness and dying. I applaud how you handled yourself because you have a pure heart that the "Mikes" of this world cant and refuse to comprehend. I hope you are able to be an instrument of Gods love in these people's lives. They cant stop our prayers and genuine love.
People in comas hear what we say to them. So be encouraged that Tom heard what you said. I'm glad you had that visit with him where you read the word and prayed for him.
Thanks for being about our Fathers business. Charles Wesley who was the brother of John Wesley wrote this little ditty. "Jesus my only hope thou art. Strength unto mine failing heart. Oh could I catch a smile from thee. And drop into eternity."
"Rejoice that he has counted you worthy, not only to believe, but also to suffer for his name."
Michael is obviously not the best type of friend for Tom. I feel so bad for you Becket. The devil is really attacking Jesus's children right now. Believe me I've felt it myself. We will pray for Tom and Michael who need Jesus so much. Those passages you just read are very soothing and true. Perseverance is what it takes to get through. Don't give up. God bless you. 🙏🕊💖
Becket hasn't been present in his life for 15 years so I wouldn't be judging who is the better friend.
@@amyseaden9069 Friends lose touch. That doesn't mean Becket didn't care. Everyone can be close and then have change of direction in life. Tom is a heavy drinker so that would be why Becket wasn't socializing with him much anymore. Obviously Beck still cares about Tom and it's important that he knows that. Michael should not keep them from seeing each other. That's not right. Becket would be a big help to Tom right now. Which he really needs.
@@Sky-fj6ec Think the fact that his group of friends were comfortable with their sexuality is why they haven’t been in touch. Yes I’m sure Tom can use a friend if his health is failing but not one who brings their judgement or tries to push their beliefs on them. Those who have supported Tom in person should also not have their lives judged or their lives attempted to be saved because someone paid for lunch. B
I'm sorry I don't look at it the same way as you do. Becket wasn't pushing his beliefs on Tom. He wanted to and did pray for Tom. When you are at deaths door. You need all the prayers and spiritual help that you can get, believe me. Becket only has good intentions for Tom. I've never seen such a genuine child of God.
@@Sky-fj6ec If people don't believe in God or in the teachings of his God (that being gay is a sin and a choice) then praying over someone is pushing your beliefs. If you go home and pray for someone or go to the hospital chapel and say a prayer away from the person than that is your choice. A hospital chaplin would not come in and pray over someone unless they had been asked. For instance if you were lying in a hospital bed and an Imam or Rabbi came and started praying over you and saying prayers associated with Judaism or the Muslim faith would you welcome it and look forward to future visits where you would receive more prayers and spiritual guidance from the Rabbi or Imam. I have a strong feeling you would say no thank you I'm a Christian and have my own beliefs. Based on your example if you were ill you would welcome any spiritual help that you could get while in hospital even if it was from an Imam and Rabbi and you didn't practice their religions. This is the exact situation that is being depicted.
Jesus was persecuted ... you're in good company, brother 🙏
Please stay encouraged Becket! The good news is that their is no distance in the spirit. Keep praying and interceding for him from your home. I pray God give your friend grace and mercy to live. ❤️
See Dr. Eric Walsh’s testimony about how the LGBTQ community persecuted him for his faith in God. Powerful.
Can you link the video

Go to UA-cam, search for Dr. Walsh, “Tribulation Song” you should find it there. Let me know if you find it.
Absolutely Becket "If the World Hates you Know that it Hated me First." -Jesus Christ
Michael's anger is blinding him - forgive him and keep praying for Tom!
Do you have anger?
If he was raised evangelical Michael is aware of the blood on his hands. And the judgement to come to those who do not turn away from their sin. Praying for everyone. Special intentions that you continue to stand strong and speak boldly His Word His Truth His Promise
Blessings Sir.
That's terrible Beckett. I'm so sorry you got persecuted. I hope and will pray your friend will make it through. Peace.
I was captivated by this encounter that you went through. A time is coming when quoting verses out of the Gospel, especially versus addressing homosexuality, will be considered a hate crime and Christians will be incarcerated or worse. This trial that you are going through, will strengthen you as you hold firm to God's Word. God Bless you and all that you do. I am a first time viewer on your UA-cam channel, and I happily subscribe to a fellow Christian. I already follow Chynna, your friend. God Bless you.
Oh bless you, Becket! "Rattled," is the perfect description of how unsettling and upsetting it is to go through a situation like that. But.....the Lord knows and will honour you for what you are trying to do for your friend (and others). God bless Tom, Michael and all who don't know the Lord....yet. Prayers going up!!
How are you doing 😊😊😊😊😊
Praying that Tom will be healed and for his salvation. It is in God’s hands. Rest in his word. You are a light in this dark world. God Bless!!!!
How are you doing 😊👋👋😊👋
I’ve been binge watching your videos. This one came over my suggested video feed. I wonder what happened with Tom and Michael. The enemy is real. It gives me chills to know how powerful prayer is and how scared the enemy is of the power of Christ. I hope your friend survived and I pray that you planted a seed for salvation for him and Michael.

Beckett, I'm very sorry this happened to you! I have experienced a couple situations recently where I was treated very unfairly, verbally abused, and treated, unjustly, with total disrespect! It is difficult to deal with. But ultimately, God has us 🙏❤️

Miracle in the ICU: Tom Update The Becket Cook Show Ep 39
Becket, Gods timing is perfect. You had this happen two years ago, and I'm having this happen now with a multitude of family members while my father was dying. I needed this testimony this morning to help me through my grief. While my father was dying, I had family who purposely isolated me and refused to speak to me during a time we should have been crying together. I was also called the most horrifying names, so while I was grieving over my father, I was being attacked for my faith and values by those I deeply loved. It was the most toxic experience of my life, and I was traumatized by it. I've cried for almost two months on my knees every morning, praying through my hurt, trying to understand, and praying for my family's salvation. I've never had multiple persecution at once before for my failth. If persecution comes from family, it cuts down to another level of pain (almost cellular) that feels torturous. It's been heartwrenching. I felt it deep down to my core, like I was not only emotionally bullied but bruised, beaten, and stomped on (spiritually). It actually was affecting my health, so I had to work through all my hurt and anger and to focus on forgiving. I'm still going through it, and your testimony encouraged me that others in the United States are also feeling the cultural shift being persecuted for their faith.
Thank you, Becket. I do hope you update us on your friend who was in ICU and his friend, who both I prayed for this morning. The first thing that jumped out at me was that this wasn't so much about just "Tom." That you were sent by God in answer to "Michael's" family's prayers for him. You were an answer to their prayers to lovingly try to reach him again for Christ. When the Holy Spirit is powerfully working on someone's heart who is in serious resistance, it usually turns to anger or retaliation. "Michael" (I know it's not his name but God knows him), was in a spiritual battle when you came on the scene and that battle won't leave him just because he shut you down. This is exactly what happened to me before I became a Christian. I started struggling inside to a point where I started really getting upset, which turned to anger against those witnessing to me. I told those sharing God to me, to stop!!! They did and started quietly interceding for me. The Holy Spirit was like chasing after me after that, constantly overwhelming me until I finally surrendered. I had a powerful conversion, which was over 40 years ago. Your testimony inspired me and helped me process what happened to me, to intercede for my family. I am trusting that God is turning the heat up to reach them. So praise God!!! It's actually really good news that you were faithful and most likely an answer to a family's prayers. Here, you thought you were visiting a sick friend when you most likely were sent for another. God never wastes opportunities. It sounds like a duel purpose, and you were given that Holy assignment. What an honor! We will see it all clearly on the other side❤
I'm sorry you had to go through this Becket. Our culture is so lost. God will still bless the time you had with your friend (Tom). Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. You are a brave man.
Keep speaking Becket, God is with you. ❣️
Praying for Tom and Michael 🙏
I’m praying Becket. Stand strong brother because the devil don’t like the work of God you are doing. I will be praying for both of them.
Unacceptable that Mike didn’t tell you you weren’t on the “list” before you drove there to visit your friend. That was crappy of him. I pray for your friend’s salvation and healing.

My heart in breaking for your friend and your praying over him and his salvation. Inspiring reminder for us to pray for the salvation of those even on death's door.
Praying for “Tom” and Michael’s salvation. Praying for you too! So sorry you were treated that way but who better to be persecuted for than Jesus!! Just want you to know that you’re such an inspiration!❤️
Jesus is greater than this spiritual darkness. Nothing can stop His purposes
Becket, your courage is infectious. Thank you. 🙏🏻 and agreement for Tom.
Prayed for you. May the Lord continue to bless, guard, and guide you and each of us that follow Him. You shared the love of God, the message of the Gospel, your testimony, with Michael and your dear friend. I am so happy that God strengthened and encouraged you with these beautiful Scriptures. Love how He does that.
Every day, many people in Tom’s condition who’s only hope is prayer. The machines and meds can’t save everyone’s physical body. You are the one in this guy’s life who knows it’s his soul that really matters, so you keep up the spiritual fight for your friend. Also, you might try to contact the chaplain office at the hospital to see if they can help you get in to see him, maybe after hours or something. Or they can go see him for you.
You’re such a good friend. After 10 years ,You still visit and pray for your friend. Thank you for being salt and light in the gay Community. I was watching Chyann’s last podcast with you at lunch. I prayed “God I wish I had friends like that. Sitting around ,enjoying each other‘s company and talking about Jesus.” You are definitely loved and blessed.
I have thought the same thoughts! Would love to have friends in Christ like them! And I’m also blessed by their followers comments. A community in Christ like this, even if over UA-cam is still a great blessing. We’ll all have fellowship sometime in our Heavenly home. 😉🙏🏻✝️
You always inspired me to be a better Christian. It is amazing how you handle persecution as a Christian. In this chaotic world, we are not alone. God is always with us no matter what the circumstance. Love that you consult the Bible right away and found the answer to your questions. Thank you for inspiring me and my family. May God the father continue to bless and guide you while you preach the good news.
A very heartbreaking story, but you had done God's work by praying for your friend and God will honour you for that. God can reach your friend in His supernatural way and no-one could ever stop that from happening. God bless you Becket.
We pray for Michael to wake up from living in the flesh and being selfish because of it. His selfishness is affecting Tom, he has no regard for Tom, he only regards himself. We pray he sees the error in his ways. God Bless you Becket!
Michael can know about christ but he never had a relationship with him. Pray for Tom and Michael ..🙏🙏🙏
I can see your pain for this situation. Not just your own, but the dire circumstances for your friend. Thank you for being so bold in your faith. You've been an encouragement to me, along with Chynna P., as I've been traveling for two days! Bless you, and I will pray for your friend(s).
A man can suffer for ignorance sake or for righteousness sake, and this is an example of the later! all these moments build up a treasure trove of blessings in heaven!
Becket I am so sorry. The world is so harsh. I pray Tom is restored to health and you can guide him to salvation.
I'm sad for you, Becket, that you have been treated in such a hateful way although you wanted to show God's love and grace and mercy.. I had a hateful reaction when my mother was dying and my 6 sisters and I were gathered around her.. I wanted to tell them about the promise we have in Jesus, eternal life, but my sister Christine, who is a lesbian, stopped me and said that I didn't tell the truth and that everyone was free to believe his/ her truth... When I took my bible to read Psalm 23 to my mother who was in a coma, they all left the room... I pray for my sister Christine and all of my family.. I can't convince them but God can ..I will pray for "Tom" and Michael. Thank you Becket for this episode and all that you do..! God bless! 🙏
wow. that's awful. so sorry
Hold onto the faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ that your prayers for your family will be answered God Bless You ✨💫🙏
Thank you for sharing your experience, this type of dialogue keeps us as believers encouraged that were not alone, stay encouraged friend!
It takes courage to share Christ and the Holy Spirit will supply it to us. The Holy Spirit will also heal us from the hurt of others reviling us and persecuting us. You have a crown that you can lay at Jesus’ feet, Beckett, for doing this, what the Holy Spirit asked you and led you to do. Don’t let anyone take your joy or your crown!
We are all experiencing this Beckett. We are being separated
Michael takes his friend out drinking knowing he has a drink problem and Tom ends up in ICU, but Michael thinks you're the danger to Tom. I wonder if there's some projection going on. He was a strange choice to give this legal responsibility to, not being very responsible. Seems like a lot of growing up needs to happen. I shall say a prayer for your friend's recovery, and that your friend and Michael have a change of heart. This life is so short, we have eternity before us and people are willing to gamble that destiny for a life of indulgence, makes no sense! I pray that they realise this, and that Michael sees this video. I think Tom would rather have people praying for him and get better, than have his bedside become a political battle ground.
Maybe there's a bit of sexual jealousy playing out there. Either that or this kind of ministry REALLY hurts people.
No the ministry doesn't hurt people it saves people by telling Biblical truth.
@@winkydstanaccount5003 The things that grown men get hurt by these days! 🙄 No doubt it’s mostly a Western phenomenon. Post 60s, 70s men’s masculinity has been demolished for the large part, it seems. Sad to witness. Maybe men just need wars, but there are battles one can pick. Don’t mind me, just thinking out loud.. :)
All true Victoria. Maybe Tom gave Michael power of attorney when he was already physically weak and so muddled in his thinking... anyway he doesn't seem like a good choice. Or just maybe God inspired
Tom to choose him if Michael will benefit from Becket's prayers. God's ways are not our ways.
God bless you, brother! So happy you are saved and have been transformed into the image of Jesus Christ! Stand firm in the faith. Keep praying for your lost loved ones and planting the seeds. You are encouraging for other who have lived that past lifestyle and proof that God has the power to make us brand new!!! Amen.
Your testimony is so powerful and touches my heart to the very core. I will be praying for you, your ministry and your friend in the hospital! May God use you witness and heart to change a lost and hurting community and world! Hugs!
We’re in this together. Standing for truth and loving others.
How are you doing 😊😊😊👋👋😊👋👋
The Spirit and glory of God does rest upon you.
May God help these men.
Prayers sent to Beckets friend in ICU and his friend, Blessings from Yorkshire, England
God Bless You, my friend...I'm so sorry for the complicated feelings this brings about...I will pray for him and you!
Hatred is poison. It destroys whatever it grows on.
I am so encouraged by the steadfastness of your faith. I pray you keep going, spreading the good news of Jesus.
Thank you for sharing this bittersweet encounter. Yes, we all are sinners in need of God's grace. We definitely are not fighting against flesh and blood but against principalities and rulers of darkness
That’s ok brother. Stand and overcome and never give in to anger over it. It is part of it. God bless you and may you always know God goes before you in the battle. So victory is yours.
