It was such a blessing to find this. I also have been freed from 30 years in the homosexual lifestyle. When God changed me, He did it completely. I am blessed by this.
That's awesome to hear Bobby! We're glad you were blessed by Becket's story.
I'm so glad for you
Hi! Congratulations 👏! Thanks for your boldness & supporting others who are shedding the old skin of homosexuality.
Amazing! Thank you for sharing. God is so good.
God Bless you that's so awesome what a testimony you have for so many Amen
I needed this, especially in this season. God has called me out of same sex relationships and it has been the most liberating, scary, and humbling experience of my life. I praise God for you sharing your story.
Preach it brother!! God is so good! I'm straight, divorced and have also laid down my sexuality at Jesus' feet, understanding I may be single for the rest of my life. Here's to keeping our eyes on the prize and finishing well!
Love Beckett , he has his own UA-cam channel now and it’s great Christian content .
homophobia is anti christian
"Don't let this one issue keep you from eternity."
Great to ponder. Well said.
Yes. So good and true!!!
It isn't worth it, I found a dollop of
pleasure with gallons of pain
@@cathyhamlin3611 SO GOOD!
homophobia will keep many from God.
I keep finding Beckett’s testimony on line. It’s about the fourth time I’ve heard his story and I will hear it again. God is so loving and awesome. This time he described the person who prayed with him at church. I learned again how God’s love for sinners can be transmitted through me and I want to do that more! Beckett’s life is such a miracle out there in LA!
I am a heterosexual female and practicing Catholic. Due to my faith I practice chastity (I don’t have sex outside of marriage), but I am in my 40’s single, wanting to be married, but it has not happened, so, I live without sex until I marry, if ever. I relate to Beckett because I love Jesus, I feel fulfilled and happy. I find men attractive and have crushes but since I want to live for God. Even though I struggle at times it is so worth it to have a relationship with God!!
Hello! I am exactly what you describe! I am an evangelical Christian. Yes, it is difficult at times to be single and wait for God’s time for a union with a godly man. But one thing Becket Cook and others taught me is unfulfilled sexual desires and longings is a cross I pick up and bear, so that I am obedient to God who saved me. Life with God in obedience is so worthy of any sacrifice I can make. I forget that sometimes.
You can’t be catholic and go to heaven
@@nargesalove228 why not?
@@user-mv2tg8hc8c you can’t pray to the Virgen May or confess your sins to a man.
@@nargesalove228 if I asked you to pray for me would that lead me to hell? We don’t pray to the Virginia Mary. We honor and respect her as the mother of Jesus. We ask her to pray for us. I don’t confess my sins directly to the priest, we believe that they stand in the place of Jesus. Jesus said in the Bible that he gave them the authority to forgive sins in his name. They are his proxy. We confess to Jesus but the priest was given this authority by Jesus.
I never never tire of hearing Becket’s testimony!!!♥️♥️
Thank you! I’m currently struggling with same sex attraction…it’s a force more powerful than I can handle…I ruined a good friendship with a straight friend, who most likely will never trust me ever again, and never feel comfortable around me, due to my sin of homosexuality, and telling her I had feelings for her. I need Jesus!
when you take the step to become a follower of JESUS-CHRIST (born-again experience) the HOLY SPIRIT (3rd person of the TRINITY....a lot of pastors hardly mention that) comes and lives within you and HELPS you overcome sin...it is NOT easy, because we have an enemy who wants to trip us 👹 but "greater is HE that is in you than he who is in the world". ✝ GOD BLESS YOU !
I recommend the Carlos Catari' Channel on UA-cam.
Honestly that person was not your friend
The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit. Please ask the Holy Spirit to come and fill you after you’ve asked the Lord Jesus to save you. Only the Holy Spirit will help you. Your life will be transformed in the most pleasant way when the Holy Spirit comes into your life. God bless and keep you in the name of Jesus. Never tire of seeking the Truth (who is Jesus).
Keep up the great work. Your awareness is great. In addition to Becket Cook, I highly recommend checking out the teachings of Derek Prince, Voddie Baucham, Spencer Smith, Mark Driscoll, and/or John Ramirez.
On a related note, often, there are malevolent spirits who create same sex attraction in individuals. Often...freeing oneself of these spirits...frees oneself from these desires. And of course...Jesus is the light and the way.
Dude, I'm overwhelmed and blown away by Becket's story. This is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time...I love this guy!!!!!
Never tire of hearing your testimony Becket. Thank you for your honesty and transparency. Praying Gods continued protection and blessing on your life!!!
Love you brother Beckett... and I love this testimony. I've already shared it on my Facebook page! Our conversion experience was very similar... I remember saying the exact same thing..." you're the only man for me Jesus, I don't need any of those other jerks!" I'm 55 years old now and single and celibate all my life and I love it. I'm married to the ministry and go wherever the Lord leads me 😇💕. Yes you are correct... We are never alone! PS .. I'm in L.A girl 👍
Glory to God
Praise GOD! Becket's story and testimony is so powerful. I am hearing him tell my story back at me. I am going thru the transformation from sin of over 30yrs in the "lifestyle" (last 10yrs not active in the lifestyle) to being saved over the last 4yrs. Tho my church "found out" my past and I felt shuned and.seperated from them, I have since known that I was in sin and I had to know Jesus is the way, THE ONLY WAY to Eternal life. Be coming across this video has been another blessing in my walk with God. Thank you to all who pray for Us that we understand, that "lifestyle" is a sin and is an emptiness in your heart as Becket spoke of and I felt the same. Glory to my Savior Jesus Christ. God Bless You All.
This man should be President. He would shake America and Europe to its core.
I just had a feeling Becket was from Texas. Now I like him even more. God bless your ministry brother!
Don't Texans have an accent that would have given it away before he said anything ? I'm a Brit so don't know
Wow God is amazing!! I love Beckett. He’s honest and engaging. Thank you Lord what a blessing
He’s so authentic
I went into tears while listening to this… Thank you for sharing and Hallelujah 🙌🏻💞
Thank you for sharing this powerful testimony! I am a heterosexual female and am totally blown away by outpooring of God's spirit upon all flesh! I was also humbled by Becket's testimony about "Not letting the 1 thing keep us from spending eternity with God." The Holy Spirit convicted me that this doesn't just apply to LGBTQ+. Sin is sin, whether it's giving in to the lust of same sex activites or heterosexual fornication! Sin is sin. Thank you for being so transparent to share your testimony.
keep preaching the truth! God is so good
Thanking God for this powerful testimony! 🙌✝️😘
Love you, Becket~~~I'll get to know you in Glory. So happy you are my brother in Christ!!!
From Saul to Paul! God changes people! It’s real! He gives us a New Life in him! Amen! Great Testimony 🙌🏽🙏🏽✨
Wow, The first time listening to Becket Cook. I have been a Christian for over 40 years and have prayed for workers in the field who could present the gospel with truth and sincerity...Becket has just blown my mind. Praise God.
This is so honest and a blessing for everyone to hear! Listen All the way through. It’s not too long
Excellent message! "Giving up your birthright"! Wow, this is a perfect application for WHATEVER we "sell out" for.
This message and his story is a wake up call To the LGBTQ Community
Thk u for opening ur heart, u gave me a better defense to my faith. Not to judge but love.
Thank you for sharing your testimony 🙏
Hi Anna! Glad you enjoyed this message! Becket has an incredible testimony!
This guys testimony is so powerful! God bless you so much and speaking truth
@becketcook Wonderful, my friend. You did an awesome encapsulation of your book and life testimony in 20 minutes! I never tire of hearing your story and seeing how deeply God has planted you in the Hollywood crowd. Keep on influencing people toward Christ with your walk! ❤
Becket Cook is so awesome!!!
homophobia is not awesome
Beckett has such a sweet sweet soul and his love for God makes me cry, he gets it, he’s been changed by the love of God, when we feel unworthy to a mighty loving God, we don’t want to judge or criticize others but to love them into the Kingdom of God!
homophobics don't change as they like their sin
@@pastorbri yes we need to hate our sin to change!
@@kieuhatch4896 is that why homophobics never tend to change ... as they love their sin?
@@pastorbri that’s a complicated question, sometimes we like sinning sometimes we actually hate it but we are emotionally connected or addicted to it and it’s hard to get out and that’s when we need to cry out for help getting help from others is extremely important I do think to overcome any sin we need to hate what sin does to us - it ruins our life and we need to accept more love from God That God loves us and wants the best for our life hope that helps!
@@kieuhatch4896 this is why we need God to heal homophobia then as many stuck in the homophobic lifestyle do enjoy their hate.
Love Beckett Cook 💕💖
Us too!
@@CrossroadsCA Thank you Beckett and Crossroads Church Thank you
you do know homophobics lie?
Love Becket Cook! The part that the devil got RIGHT in his deception was to make SEXUALITY their IDENTITY. The enemy made it so that it wasn’t a VERB - WHAT u do, but WHO U ARE. The strategy was genius bcuz it has worked like a charm. Father have Your way!
I’m so happy to have heard the recent sermon on the lgbt community! Jesus LOVES all of us ! 🙏🏼
Beckett having heard your testimony a number of times it still thrills me seeing the way God works and you are still attending Reality LA.
I wondered if your friend or any of your friends came to Christ from your amazing testimony.
I love the fact that he gave his life to Christ. It is wonderful that he had a sister-in-law that prayed fir him regularly and that her prayer was answered. My only question is, how many LGBTQ individuals are not responding to the call of the Holy Spirit? How many individuals might even consider themselves Christians while justifying their LGBTQ lifestyle? Meanwhile, so many churches are avoiding the subject or literally teaching against scripture. Secular society is normalizing sinful behavior more and more, and it is being conducted in a vacuum because so many churches will not teach ALL OF SCRIPTURE, only messages filled with God's grace and blessing. His closing was accurate, why would you sacrifice eternity with your Creator for a lifestyle that would push you away from your Creator. We all have our struggles and the Devil's greatest desire is to distract us from what is important until it is too late to do anything about it.
Becket is Awesome !
but homophobia is not
Praise God Thank you Beckett and Crossroads Church Thank you God Thanks you we
Thank you Amen ✝💖
Great testimony and teaching, thank you Beckett. Wonderful encouragement to keep praying for our loved ones and holding on to Truth, our Messiah.
I can’t get enough of your amazing inspirational Testimony! ❤️
Wow he's great !!
We enjoyed hearing from Becket!
Praise God
Your testimony just makes me smile. It’s so wonderful ✨
you knew homophobia was a sin though, right?
I can listen to his story forever
I admire you so much,, big hug and praying Favor of the Almighty over you Mr Cook 🫶🏻🌺🌻🌻
This is sooo good bro!! May God continue to bless you and set many free from your bold and transparent testimony!!!!
but homophobia is a sin
@@pastorbri and the bible is not homophobic when it says homossexuality is a sin. Period.
@@rafael.almeida99 true, the bible is not homophobic as it doesn't say that, you just did so you are homophobic, not the bible, ok, got that, good.
@@pastorbri The Bible does say that homosexuality is a sin. You can reject it or accept it, but you cannot deny it. Why would I be homophobic if I deal with same-sex attraction and fully understand all the struggles and pains of people who also experience it? I just understood and was convinced that the Bible is the word of God and is the truth.
@@rafael.almeida99 OK.....prove ur point then. show me....
1. 1 verse that condemns lesbians in the OT.
2. A verse where Jesus both mentions and condemns LGBT issues.
3. A law in the 10 commandments on LGBT issues as there must be one for a big issue like this.
4. A verse where we see same sex love is a sin.
5. A verse that both mentions and condemns same sex marriages, must be one?????
6. A verse that says love is a sin if ur not a heterosexual.
7 That verse that says in ur words "homosexuality is a sin"....
Ill wait.
Becket cook your testimony inspires, I’m overjoyed by your growth in Jesus Christ, I will share with everyone🙌🏻🙏❤️
I recently discovered your channel. You are such a blessing.
Becket, your testimony is such an inspiration to me! Thank you for you courage in speaking to a culture that is actively hostile toward Biblical morality. Keep the faith, Brother!
💖💖💖loved this, praise God! 💖💖💖
Love his testimony, still praying for my husband who is lost. Love the ending when he says God judges, The Holy Spirit convicts, and we are to Love. He is Johnny on the spot! Thank you brother
God is still at work!
What an awesome testimony you have.
This is so sad. I can't imagine believing who I am is wrong. I am a heterosexual man and can't help thinking about how I would feel in his shoes. Maybe if one person could explain why homosexuality is wrong I could feel better about this but I have yet to have that happen.
Here’s the issue: your sexuality - no matter what it is - is not WHO you are. That thinking is part of the deception that Becket fell into. We all have things we feel that we can either accept as our identity or we can accept the identity of being a child of God and be someone who is not a slave to what we feel. What WE feel (whether ‘good’ or ‘bad’) LIMITS us to our own expectations and ideas of what is possible for us. God wants to break us free from that.
Never seen the story of Esau from that perspective, of how his name is missing in the genealogy all the way to Jesus because he caved into his immediate gratification desire of the stew his brother was cooking... Such a great example of how we should look for wisdom (James 1:5) and resist our immediate gratification desires, by submitting to Jesus Christ and resisting the enemy. (James 4:7) Great video! 🥰
You message speaks to every heart and soul, not just the LGBTQ ppl. We all need to tell our wicked and evil hearts NO, I’m not going to follow you and lose my birth right and my eternity with God. But a lot of times the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. That’s why we know we can’t do this by our own strength. We need help and accountability. Don’t you have moments of temptation on your weak spot Becket? How do you overcome it?
Wow … what a testimony!!!
it's very inspiring! I'm 37, thank God I grew up in a Christian family, I now realize it really helped to have these roots. But until I got 36 I have been living a sinful life without even understanding it. I wanted to be part of the "society" in Paris. Haven't had sex for years after having like hundreds of partners. Understanding the message of God helped to solve all my issues with frustration and unhappiness, for the first time I feel free
Wow what a conversion a transformation - so powerful preaching.
Beckett, I absolutely love you! I am so drawn to you, your precious personality! Your are just being so used by Jesus to reach others!!! I’ve looked you up on Utube a few times, and always am in awe of how you’ve picked up your cross. I can’t wait to talk to you in heaven! I’m a straight happily married woman! & I love you like a son or a nephew! I could just sit and listen to you for hours!!! God bless & keep you Beckett! He’s so proud of you & your ministry!
Preach, brother! Preach!!
I love listening to Becket’s conversion experience ❤️
Good analogy yesss praise GOD bless you good sir
Sooooo awesome.
Thank you Brother for your sincerity ; His loving Father, His with You 24/365 in Jesús NameAmen
Prayers are always answered.
AWESOME!!!
Amen🙏♥️
Im struggling also, help me Lord Jesus
❤❤❤
the enemy of our souls seeks to keep us distracted from God's truth. superficial entertainment and self indulgence are the order of the day in this age. entertainment and self indulgence is empty and leads us away from God's purpose for us which is Submission to Him and service to Him and our fellow mankind.
It such a wonder I just was thinking I need to know the answer to this exact qn and u just gave me the answer I was getting In my heart and exact responses shalom and God bless
i am praying that my brother finds Christ
Thank you for sharing your testimony! You helped me!
Great whitness.. Soo powerful.!!! It' s all about Jesus! In the end thats what matters...
Shame can’t hear this through my normal regular speakers. Any chance you could re-record this?
I love his personality..
Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you, All things are passing away: God never changes. Patience obtains all things, whoever has God lacks nothing; God alone is enough. St. Teresa of Avila
I believe you can be delivered from that spirit. Seek deliverance not just celibacy Who the Son sets free is free indeed
Thank you Beckett! I have read your book and follow your videos. Love it all! Question... do you think going to an all boys schools contributed to or facilitated your same sex attraction? TY Blessings!
IM not ashamed of the Gospel; we can’t say is ok to be Homosexual yes pray and ask help our God👑🙏🧎♀️
Huuuuuunnn!we are here for a short time......
Aman
♥🙏🙏🙏
In the words of Pastor John McArthur;”Homosexuality is a perverse sexual Act; Nothing more, Nothing less. I agree.
Your comment is helpful to those who are struggling how ? You should look in the mirror carol. Your sins are no different than the sin of homosexuality! Your sins are just as perverse, gross, disgusting etc.
REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND.
😀😀😀🙂🙂🙂🙂🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I don't know why all your videos have such low audio
The ones he does at home have very clear audio
It is so hard to hear, even turned all the way up.
Fyi... stealing, addiction, adultery, lying and pornography (among others) are all sins equal to homosexuality! We are all sinners in our own way. We have to ask God's forgiveness and for his help in "taking up our crosses", and then do our best to live righteously, while seeking a daily and constant relationship with Jesus!!... Its easy for many straight Christians to act like homosexuals are the biggest sinners. We all need to look at the plank in our own eye before pointing out the speck in our neighbor's!
I wrestle with Becket saying he was same sex attracted from young age- where did that come from if not "born that way"? I am a firm believer in the biblical view of homosexuality being a sin but have so many friends who challenge that based on what converted same sex people say about their childhood attractions.
I don't think it's the attraction that's the sin. It's the act. We all struggle with many sin temptation even from childhood, whether it's anger or lying or worrying. The enemy knows our weaknesses even as children. Many times for children it can be exposure to pornography at an early age, fear of a father or mother, sexual abuse etc. He doesn't say it here but in other interviews he shared he was molested at nine by a friend's father. That's an entry point unfortunately for many kids
In some of his videos he mentioned that when he was a little boy, he went to a friend’s house and that friend’s dad molested him. He doesn’t say specifically that he thinks that’s the reason he had those feelings, but he does say he thinks it probably contributed to it.
Even if he was born that way, that doesn’t mean it’s not a sin. Some people are born with addictive personalities, but that doesn’t mean that drunkenness isn’t wrong.
Read ROMANS chapter 1, verses 26-28. Then, "Leave the Lifestyle".
I really enjoy listening to Becket. I just wanted to ask you about Sunday keeping. Do you realise SUNDAY was made into a Sabbath back in the 4th century by the Roman Catholic Church and most Christians think they are obedient to the 4th Commandment, but the NT does not say anything about a first day Sabbath. I pray the Lord will lead and direct you. God bless you richly. EA. Ireland
Actually Christians began celebrating the 1st day of the week-the day of Jesus ' resurrection-as their day of worship and gathering together. Check out the book of acts
@@cherylwebb8340 There is no direction in The N.Testament to keep holy another day except the day God speaks of in the 4th Commandment. If God had wanted His children to keep another Day holy don’t you think He would have directed us clearly in the New Testament. The Day He speaks of in
St Mark 2 verses 27+28 is STILL the day He asks us to keep for Him. He is still the Lord of the true Sabbath. (the 7th day). The deciples of Jesus broke bread together (dined together) most days of the week in the book of Acts.
But the Bible says Ágape Love cover all to come you’re waiting for them ABBA -Father in Jesus name👑🙏🧎♀️
SSA means either we really admire someone enough that we want to be like them, or there's been significant neglect or mistreatment by our same sex parent or by both parents, or molestation/grooming by someone of the same sex or bullying/violence by the opposite sex. By no means do people have to follow through physically with any temptation of any kind. Curiosity does not mean we HAVE to try something, and not everyone has to live a life that includes sex. Plenty of people can be extremely happy with no romance/sex their whole life. God calls them eunuchs. Even science shows that either celibacy or lifelong husband/wife marriage produce the best health & happiness & (marriage:) parenting & economic results possible on average.
You mentioned four drastically different theories that are all so wildly far apart from each other that there is no reasonable way they could all conveniently produce the exact same end result of homosexuality. You’re just making stuff up.
We are all sinners and yes, we need a Savior to get to God's promise land. Heaven.
But, how do sinful people get into God's perfect heaven?
We can't! 😥💔
But God is a God of love & mercies.
“God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!”
Romans 5:8-9 NIV
“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
John 3:17 NIV
Believe~Repent~Redeemed~
“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
2 Peter 3:9 NIV
I think the reason Jesus didn't condemn gays is the same reason you gather lots of fish before you sort them. He knows of their struggle and gives them free will to repent. The ones that do make it into heaven the ones don't he burns them for eternity.
Burns them for eternity ? Wow that couldn’t be more less Christian. You should re-examine yourself
@@yamomma5053 You don't believe that sinners go to hell?
I have you in prayers if you are under the spirit of Homosexuality or LGTB God never change He loves everyone but NO to those spirit s . And in 2023 June is pride month and lam praying God have mercy and take you out from the life who God plans for you and if you die today you will go to hell . I pray God take out every person with those spirits be deliver from those demons in Jesussssssssss NameAmen don’t follow your heart follow Jesus
can you identify with the celibate male (priest or brother) or consecrated woman (nun or sister)? human sexuality (i.e. sexual intercourse between one man and one woman within committed marriage) is a sign which points to Heaven. once we are in Heaven, we no longer need the sign
