Ray, I listened to your music as a young man and admired the way you wrote and sang songs. Truly God has given you a great talent. You say I am a life that is changed. That means we must repent of our sin. Don’t believe the lie of the great deceiver who has convinced you that you were born homosexual. Satan wants you to believe this great lie so he can bring destruction and death in your life. I have been praying for you for so long. And yes Ray, he does still feel the nails every time we fail. Repent before it is too late. Holy Spirit, please touch Ray and convict his heart. Help him to see the lie the Devil wants him to believe and break the chains of sin that have entrapped him. Free Ray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
For over 50 years this man fought the demon inside him. In 2005 he could not any longer and failed. If Jesus can forgive Peter for denying he knew Jesus three times, surely He will forgive Ray Boltz. THANK YOU for giving such beautiful healing music to us all Ray.
@@stevegrayson4124 Amen Amen Amen So many humans forget this! I am not perfect, but I do know I’m forgiven by God. I also know I’m a sinner! I know I sin every day, even though I know I should not. I Thank God daily for giving us His Son Our Saviour for dying for my/our sins! God bless
One of the signs of the end times is people’s ability to have a form of godliness but denying God’s power to change them. May we by God’s grace come to full repentance in Jesus’ name! Amen.
It is a sad thing indeed that a person can think they are serving Christ completely,and actually do love the lord.But don't seem to realize they are deceiving themselves into believing that what they are doing wrong is somehow ok,even though it's an abominable sin.You can't serve the lord,and keep the sin around all active.They love it,more than they love the lord.
Hate to give you a reality check but you are just as much a sinner as Ray is. Everyday. We all are. Thats why Jesus came. And if you for one second think you are better than Ray is in any way, you had better read your Bible closely. You might want to start with the verse that talks about removing the plank from your own eye.
Many are called, few are chosen. The reality is Ray like myself understands the saying..."I want my life to end well", I want to make a difference for the Kingdom in someone else's life. I want to hear those words..."Welcome Good and Faithful Servant", "Did I learn to Love"....we would do better if we learn to love and refuse to judge. selah
It amazes me that Ray's voice is the same as it ever was, just BEAUTIFUL. I fought back tears while listening. Once a long time ago before I had ever even heard of Mr. Boltz , I was at an all time low in my life, '"Always be a child" came on the radio and the tears just streamed down my face.. That song couldn't have been more timely. Thank YOU, Mr. Boltz
If Peter can be restored after denying His Saviour 3x, Ray’s case is not new, he can be restored. As far as there is life, God’s grace is still very much available
Peter REPENTED, meaning he was regretful and was filled with sorrow right away, and turned back without wasting time. Peter didn’t sit in his sin and advocated for the choice he made. When we don’t repent and continue in sin, God gives us away to a reprobate mind, meaning he leaves us to choose the “thing” we choose over him; this is how a person no longer feels remorse and they’re !ne@ne enough to believe they’re not doing anything wrong. Revelation 2:21 “I have given her TIME to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling.”
Jesus loves the sinner that’s why He died for us. We must believe and follow in His footsteps not our own. Praying for your recovery and returning to the Savior. Singing doesn’t save only Jesus
Sadly when we run on feelings there is no one that is above being deceived. We gotta run with our eyes firmly fixed on the unadulterated Word of God and not squeeze it out of shape just to make the shoe fit.
@@ryangreen6255 indulging ? Seriously? Homosexuality is not about indulging. It's about sexual orientation and a part of the dna built into you. For too long there's been a false teaching ans misconception. I'd encourage you to do some research it's very enlightening. It's doesn't stop him from his faith in Jesus.
I wish I could tell Ray what this song means to me. It changed my life. I was 1/2 drunk and not a Christian the first time I heard it. I cried my eyes out. It holds a special place in my heart...
I too am a life that was changed... your beautiful song reminds me of my mom... we never had much money growing up... we paid dues back in those days in church...I know now my mom did the best she could... rest in peace Mom...I am looking forward to seeing you again one day...in heaven...
For those who are comparing ray to Peter. Peter REPENTED, meaning he was regretful and was filled with sorrow right away, and turned back without wasting time. Peter didn’t sit in his sin and advocated for the choice he made.

Revelation 2:21 “I have given her TIME to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling.”
Exactly, Ray once said that Jesus didn't turn the prostitute who washed his feet away. No he didn't turn her away and forgave her for everything that she had done. But the very last thing that he said to her was (Go now and sin no more) so Jesus wanted her to give up her sinful lifestyle, hopefully Ray and many others can too.
Please Ray, we are all praying for you to come back to Jesus. God loves you so so much. Please do not turn away from Jesus. It breaks my heart. We luv you Ray!!
This song right here impacted my life greatly. Gave me courage to become a missionary. May God always bless your ministry Ray! May you always be the apple of his eye just like David. When I pray for ministers of the gospel I pray for you too

Still love your music Ray it is so inspirational. No matter what anybody says or does everybody has to stand in front of the LORD and be judged everybody has sinned and come short of heaven. This is from one sinner to a whole world of sinners.
As an Adventist youth, your music ministry was all my healing in Ghana. One memory, was 1st year at Uni. Around midnight all my roommates and many on our line had gone to watcn a much advertised porn movie at our entertainment center, your song 'l pledge allegiance to the Lord' was my salvation in prayer and crying. May His light bring you back as it did for me that night as a freshman IJN!
I love your songs. A story telling song is precious & you give each a heart. How you are doing is between you & the Lord, just as everyone else. So many are judgemental but we aren't assigned that yet. You've been admonished as Paul teaches. Now; The Bible says we are all sinners. Sin is sin! Can anyone say they are without? And it's between us & Him. Your love for the Lord is obvious & His joy is in your smile. And your song is for ears that need to hear God's calling. I thank Him for your voice & heart and those who will hear & come. You'll meet up with Jesus, someday. He will decide but we must remember Jesus said "I am willing"! Let Him decide! We are to love even our enemies. God bless you! Keep smiling.
I and my children love this song so much even when they were minor, they have the feeling of the holy spirit May bless Ray and let his name be written in the book of lives
You are a beautiful soul sent from heaven and your challenges were a purpose for us to know Him and you faced it well even though it was tough, and I bless Him for your journey .. your songs will remain for eternity..
Who is listening with me in November 2023. With love from Guyana to our brothers and sisters and believer in Christ jesus. Much love and appreciate all
Ray, I’ve read a few of the note below. You are perfect exactly the way you are and you’re exactly what God wants you to be. Your voice, your melodic ability and your way to convey a message through song is absolutely beautiful. I wish you nothing but success and happiness in life as you follow your path that God has set forth for a you. Don’t let some of the narrow minded people who think they know everything about God’s love distract you from your calling. Your Friend. Jeff.
Jeff, I dare say, you are the narrow minded person. As for Ray, I love his music, always have, but he isn't perfect the way he is. None of us are. If we are willing God will direct in the way we should go. Every temptation is common to mankind but God will always provide a way out/through every temptation. God be with you, Ray Boltz
I'm going through all these comments, and Im like, let the one with no sin throw the first stone. Is there a measure of sin? Is there any sin better than the one? Let God do His own judgment, not us.
I also have been reading all the comments. You are correct we ALL have sin. I do pray that GOD convicts his heart if he has not changed his choice of lifestyle. Otherwise others will think he is saved and he is not. We have to surrender our sins no matter what it is. I have prayed for him to come to Christ.
Ray as sweet as he may be, he’s being rebellious and this man knows scripture. Don’t get me wrong we all have fallen and come short of God’s glory. We as Christians must keep this man in prayer. The book of Rom.1 ch. speaks out against not just homosexuality but other sins as well. So many who profess to being a Christian, but they are still in a homosexual relationship. God must not be mocked.
I use to live a gay life style Ray, God turned me around and saved me from all that. My eyes were opened! It's not too late Ray, the Devil is Lying to you. Come to Jesus Ray, I've been told by God back in 2010 to warn people, I seen written in the Sky End of Days. Look at all that is going on around you, the Rapture will soon happen. Jesus Loves You!
I always love this song thank you for giving to the Lord. I can see my three sisters, Terry, Donna and Rosemary. They have always been givers always helping other people never thought of their selves. My sister Terry is in heaven and my sister. Donna is in heaven my sister Rosemary still here on earth and she still givingto others, she never thinks of herself always thinking of other people and is so forgiving like Jesus
Lyrics: I dreamed I went to heaven And you were there with me We walked upon the streets of gold Beside the crystal sea We heard the angels singing Then someone called your name You turned and saw this young man And he was smiling as he came And he said friend you may not know me now And then he said but wait You used to teach my Sunday School When I was only eight And every week you would say a prayer Before the class would start And one day when you said that prayer I asked Jesus in my heart . CHORUS Thank you for giving to the Lord I am a life that was changed Thank you for giving to the Lord I am so glad you gave . Then another man stood before you And said remember the time A missionary came to your church And his pictures made you cry You didn't have much money But you gave it anyway Jesus took the gift you gave And that's why I'm here today . CHORUS (repeat) . One by one they came Far as the eyes could see Each life somehow touched By your generosity Little things that you had done Sacrifices made Unnoticed on the earth In heaven now proclaimed . And I know that up in heaven You're not supposed to cry But I am almost sure There were tears in your eyes As Jesus took your hand And you stood before the Lord He said, my child look around you For great is your reward . CHORUS (repeat) I am so glad you gave
People of the LGBTQ community that believe they are serving God, say "I was born this way... But Jesus answers this question... Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” John 3:3
Gracias a Ray por hacernos sentir cerca al cielo y recordarnos que los dolores de este mundo son temporales y que allá donde está CRISTO las cosas serán alegría y gozo,RAY CIERTAMENTE ÉL QUE EMPEZÓ LA OBRA EN TI PBRAEN TI LA TERMINARÁ
We've not really fallen until we fall to that text we have always proclaimed power over. That's what the devil will use. Everyone's weapon is fashioned differently
If you saw the movie MILK, about Harvey Milk, I am the boy from Minnesota in the movie. Someone played me in the movie. After Harvey death, I left the homosexual life and let Jesus healed my broken heart. NO MAN CAN FULFILL YOUR HEART EXCEPT JESUS. My name is Gerard Dols. Thank you Jesus
don't believe you're healed! Nobody can cure his homosexuality. You are born that way. But you will have to find out painfully. You will struggle with it for the rest of your live. Believe me, I know from what I am talking about
These people believe that Ray will not go to heaven because he lives with a man! I doubt these people will all go to heaven! Ray is a role model for all gay people who are trapped in the church and not allowed to live the life that is their due. And it is not up to anyone to judge them!
@@Richard-W-S God made man and woman to marry not man and man.. the gay marriage agenda is a lie and anything that goes against God's word is sin. I strive to be like Jesus and watching porn is NOT of God. I pray I'm delivered from this as I pray Ray reunites with his wife.
Scripture is clear: “Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you WERE. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” I Corinthians 6:9-11 Hallelujah that He washes us clean and makes us new creations when we turn to Christ in repentance! Praying for Ray.
Mr Ray you were one of the great example in true Christianity but you finally disappointed the Lord Your songs were so touching and changing lives but now you are using them to promote evil rather than changing lives We really loved you and your music PLEASE REPENT AND COME BACK TO JESUS AND PROMOTE HOLINESS AND HEAVEN WILL RECEIVE YOU AGAIN
I ran across this today by accident and it blessed my heart!!! Nice Job and I cant wait to stand before the LORD. I pray I have been just a little like the person in the song. The song bring tears to my eyes every time I hear it
Leviticus 18:22 (NKJV) “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.” Leviticus 20:13 (NKJV) “If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.” Matthew 19:4-6 (NKJV) “And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”” Romans 1:24-27 (NKJV) “Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NKJV) “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.”

Ray as sweet as he may be, he’s being rebellious and this man knows scripture. Don’t get me wrong we all have fallen and come short of God’s glory. We as Christians must keep this man in prayer. The book of Rom.1 ch. speaks out against not just homosexuality but other sins as well. So many who profess to being a Christian, but they are still in a homosexual relationship. God must not be mocked.
I use to live a gay life style Ray, God turned me around and saved me from all that. My eyes were opened! It's not too late Ray, the Devil is Lying to you. Come to Jesus Ray, I've been told by God back in 2010 to warn people, I seen written in the Sky End of Days. Look at all that is going on around you, the Rapture will soon happen. Jesus Loves You!
Thank you so much. Powerful words to live by.
I always love this song thank you for giving to the Lord. I can see my three sisters, Terry, Donna and Rosemary. They have always been givers always helping other people never thought of their selves. My sister Terry is in heaven and my sister. Donna is in heaven my sister Rosemary still here on earth and she still givingto others, she never thinks of herself always thinking of other people and is so forgiving like Jesus
Lyrics:
I dreamed I went to heaven
And you were there with me
We walked upon the streets of gold
Beside the crystal sea
We heard the angels singing
Then someone called your name
You turned and saw this young man
And he was smiling as he came
And he said friend you may not know me now
And then he said but wait
You used to teach my Sunday School
When I was only eight
And every week you would say a prayer
Before the class would start
And one day when you said that prayer
I asked Jesus in my heart
.
CHORUS
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am a life that was changed
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am so glad you gave
.
Then another man stood before you
And said remember the time
A missionary came to your church
And his pictures made you cry
You didn't have much money
But you gave it anyway
Jesus took the gift you gave
And that's why I'm here today
.
CHORUS (repeat)
.
One by one they came
Far as the eyes could see
Each life somehow touched
By your generosity
Little things that you had done
Sacrifices made
Unnoticed on the earth
In heaven now proclaimed
.
And I know that up in heaven
You're not supposed to cry
But I am almost sure
There were tears in your eyes
As Jesus took your hand
And you stood before the Lord
He said, my child look around you
For great is your reward
.
CHORUS (repeat)
I am so glad you gave
I can't hold back my tears anytime I hear this song.
God will lead us all including Ray to heaven inspite of all the attacks of the devil on our lives
People of the LGBTQ community that believe they are serving God, say "I was born this way... But Jesus answers this question... Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” John 3:3
I luv this song!
I'm so glad you are still singing to the Lord...God bless you....powerful voice..
Ray, you are a blessing. Please repent and turn away from your sin. We all have to do it. Praying for you.
Ray. Just come home. You are loved.
Gracias a Ray por hacernos sentir cerca al cielo y recordarnos que los dolores de este mundo son temporales y que allá donde está CRISTO las cosas serán alegría y gozo,RAY CIERTAMENTE ÉL QUE EMPEZÓ LA OBRA EN TI PBRAEN TI LA TERMINARÁ
Oh Lord, please help Ray, don't hand him over to the enemy of our souls in Jesus name
Sounds cold
Still has a great voice
We've not really fallen until we fall to that text we have always proclaimed power over. That's what the devil will use.
Everyone's weapon is fashioned differently
Thank you for calling me to repent, Lord. Ray, please do the same.
Best be praying for Ray something is to happen with him soon😗
If you saw the movie MILK, about Harvey Milk, I am the boy from Minnesota in the movie. Someone played me in the movie. After Harvey death, I left the homosexual life and let Jesus healed my broken heart. NO MAN CAN FULFILL YOUR HEART EXCEPT JESUS. My name is Gerard Dols. Thank you Jesus
God bless you Gerald. I hope I run into you in heaven someday
@@patrickodell8522 I am on Facebook Gerard Dols
Such a beautiful testimonial. May God bless you keep you in His care.
Happy for Gerald.
don't believe you're healed! Nobody can cure his homosexuality. You are born that way. But you will have to find out painfully. You will struggle with it for the rest of your live. Believe me, I know from what I am talking about
Love his music.
Why do people in the comment section think he won’t make it to heaven?
These people believe that Ray will not go to heaven because he lives with a man! I doubt these people will all go to heaven! Ray is a role model for all gay people who are trapped in the church and not allowed to live the life that is their due. And it is not up to anyone to judge them!
@@Richard-W-S God made man and woman to marry not man and man.. the gay marriage agenda is a lie and anything that goes against God's word is sin. I strive to be like Jesus and watching porn is NOT of God. I pray I'm delivered from this as I pray Ray reunites with his wife.
Scripture is clear:
“Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you WERE. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” I Corinthians 6:9-11
Hallelujah that He washes us clean and makes us new creations when we turn to Christ in repentance! Praying for Ray.
You cant be Gay and Christian. I believed in you in the 90's, even sang your songs in church, you broke my heart, I pray for you every day.
Mr boltz thank you!
Mr Ray you were one of the great example in true Christianity but you finally disappointed the Lord
Your songs were so touching and changing lives but now you are using them to promote evil rather than changing lives
We really loved you and your music
PLEASE REPENT AND COME BACK TO JESUS AND PROMOTE HOLINESS AND HEAVEN WILL RECEIVE YOU AGAIN
I totally agree with you Charles,I'm a Former homosexual woman who was delivered from that perverse lifestyle. It didn't bring me true happiness.
I ran across this today by accident and it blessed my heart!!! Nice Job and I cant wait to stand before the LORD. I pray I have been just a little like the person in the song. The song bring tears to my eyes every time I hear it
No accident
Very touching song.
I pray for him that he can be delivered from homosexuality....someone who sings such beautiful songs....
He still sounds the same after all these years.
"I control my body, lest after I have preached to others, I'd be disqualified for the prize"
Amém Jesus HELP ME LORD
Thank Jesus
Leviticus 18:22 (NKJV) “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.”
Leviticus 20:13 (NKJV) “If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.”
Matthew 19:4-6 (NKJV) “And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.””
Romans 1:24-27 (NKJV) “Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.”
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NKJV) “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.”
Notice how he hardly makes eye contact
I pray that you repent of your sinful lifestyle and that you will be in heaven. You blessed so many before your fall. You could rise and bless again.
Praise the Lord Gbu
I remember listening to him back in the day.
If Jesus changed your life how can u turn your back on him and marry a man? U need to read the books of Genesis and Matthew again and again
(Sarcastic) Well, isn't this a surprise. To see Ray sing again
"Changed," How
brother?
Ray, repent while there's time ⏲️ 🙏
Romans 1:26
Hebrews 9:27
When you win you lose
Ray come out of this deception, come back to Jesus
Thank you Jesus Christ for your sweet presence!
