- In this clip with Becket Cook, he shares how he found Jesus after searching for meaning everywhere else. I also ask him about how he accepted and understood what the Bible actually taught about homosexuality and if the Bible is actually clear on this issue.

This clip was my favorite part of the whole interview. I'm glad you all are edified by it. The link to the longer video with Becket can be found here: czcams.com/video/CNSrBGUIQQc/video.html
I would love to have Becket back on soon. If I did have him back on, what would you like to see from the interview?
YES!!! I remember Becket's testimony!!! PRAISE JESUS. â€â€
I'm sorry, I haven't watched the whole interview, and maybe I'm grasping at straws (not sure that's the right cliché), but does he talk about an actual salvation experience of repentance more than just the "Holy Spirit...boom...and I cried..."?
I'm not trying to be critical. He says some great stuff to be able to possibly point Brandan Robertson followers to but the kind of testimony that was heard in this short video is very much a hyper-charasmatic or even word of faith style idea of salvation, which isn't salvation at all.
Melissa, do you mean what other clip from your interview would we like to see, or do you want suggestions on other topics for you to discuss with him in a future interview?
I really liked this clip as well. His passion is infectious! :D
And you mentioned there's a link to his book in your description, but I can't find it anywhere on your resource page link.
I agree, I love his show too
For an interview subject, I would love to hear his thoughts on a solid coalition to combat the movement to groom children and advance the demonic Trans tragedies. Michael Knowles, Jordan Peters, Charlie Kirk, etc. So many notables are focusing here, and I'd love to see a solid consolidation of those voices moving to provide a network f truth and support.
Thank you so much for this. I was a homosexual and I have repented of it and turned away from it. Thank you Jesus!
A couple of the great saints expressed that they had homosexual tendencies. They chose to serve God and not their own passions. The inclination is not the sin. The action is. May God bless and strengthen you in your journey home.
Forgive me a sinner!
God Bless you brother!
This is inspiring, thank you! In stand respect for turning away from that and to good
Heâs still gay.
Praise the Lord!
I so appreciate Melissa letting the people talk when she interviews and she doesnât interrupt. Thank you for that!!!!
Great point! And great quality!

He had a crisis of faith in that time for sure, but he most definetly didn't abandon God.

I am an alcoholic in recovery. On July 7th of 2003, I had my moment of clarity. I was raised by a raging catholic father who hammered me with catholic schools and dogma. I came to believe that hell was my final destination no matter what, that God hated me. Even after I got sober, I really didn't believe God cared about me or knew who I was. I always knew God was real, something told me that. I went to thousands of AA meetings, AA, through God touched me, taught me, saved me from myself, gave me a program of steps to point me where I needed to go. I had a higher power, I just thought he hated me. I had a friend that kept telling me to ask God to reveal himself to me....I thought that was crazy.... but I did...only a few times expecting nothing. On the morning of September 11, 2005, I was on the back of my motorcycle on a trip to Colorado. It was a stunningly beautiful day. The sky was blue....huge....I could breath. I was looking out at the surroundings, not yet to the Rocky Mountains but they were visible in the distance. I suddenly started feeling a peace in my heart unlike anything I ever felt before, I was simply blown away from the beauty of the earth......I started crying, in complete joy, my heart opened, I was so taken that I had to stop my motorcycle or fall off it. I stopped at a crossroads, stood in the middle of the highway with my arms outstretched to my sides and cried. I kept repeating over and over " it so beatiful...just beautiful". All i could hear was the wind in my ears. Then I realized my friend of 36 years riding on his motorcycle with me had probably thought I had lost it. As he sat quietly watching me. He asked me if I was alright and I told him that I was not only good but felt completely at peace for the first time in my 46 years of life. We got back on our bikes and had a great trip. It was later that trip that I realized God had reached out and laid his hand on me. I knew he loved me...undoubtedly loved and cared for me. It's amazing he could care for a sinner like me. I have tried to do better, I pray for direction and forgiveness. I try not to sin, but i am human. He is my savior, my example, my strength in weakness. He is my Father...
My Wife left our family for a Lesbian relationship. Now sheâs fighting me for our daughter to make it so I only see her 10 hours a month. Please pray for my Wife return to Jesus!
I will pray for you, God is almighty and merciful.
God please bring light and truth into this situation đ
Just prayed.
I prayed that God would soften your wife's heart to consider what's best for your children.
Amen đ Deliver her from the evil đ one!
My very good friend has been a pastor for 40 years. He was gay and a drag queen, and God transformed him. Heâs not married and heâs celibate, but he has joy. The thorn in the flesh isnât always removed in this life. God bless you Beckett.

@@andyrick2515 Please read 1 Corinthians 6-11. Too long for me to type, but especially vs 11!
I had the same experience years ago. I remember it so vividly it was like a warmth that went from head to toe and a feeling of joy, peace, and love so intense I couldnât even begin to describe it. And the tears the warm tears that just came like a flood that I couldnât stop. It was the most beautiful thing I ever felt in this life it was unreal. Itâs so crazy to listen to this man describe the same experiences. Gods grace and love is a awesome gift to receive!
Yes it is. It most definitely is! We all need it because we are all guilty of sin. Some more grave than others, but yet all sin keeps you away from Him.
Oh yes! Whenever a person gets baptize, you can actually feel His Holy Spirit enters into you, which is only just a sample of His goodness and unconditional love. Wait until we see Him face to face when the time comes. It's going to be an awesome, everlasting experience, that no words can describe.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I never get tired of hearing Becket share his testimony. God's love is insurmountable.

Hallelujah, same happened to me 3 years ago during lockdown, God showed up and baptised me in the shower, and Jesus delivered me from homosexuality! He has TOTALLY FREED me from the addiction spirit of the flesh! (sex, pornography and alcohol)I was formally baptised a year later, and the fruits of the Holy Spirit are now flowing out of me uncontrollable. Thank you, Jesus. You have saved my life, all GLORY to You. đ
Yeah, weâll see how long that lasts. While youâre at it be sure to follow other Leviticus laws and stop wearing mixed fabrics if you can.
Praise God! The enemy will try to discourage you with lies but the truth of Godâs word will always prevail. May your faith be strengthened to endure any persecution and may you be in constant fellowship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God bless!
â@@brian.jrmontoya3227 The levitical laws do not apply to Christians, Judiaser. Christ is the fulfillment of the Law's demands on our behalf. Do not be enslaved to the shadow when the substance is already here.
Praise Jesus, and welcome to the family of God, brother! May the Lord strengthen you through every trial until the day you see him in Glory!
@@WhiteCavendish you canât just pick and choose which ones apply and which do not. Not only that, you should probably put scripture into their original historical context and phrasing, does help shape and change oneâs understanding of the Bible to be at least more complete.
I am straight and am a sinner! This guy has atoned; I wish I had his strength and ability. God bless.
Romans 5:11,15-19,21 KJV
And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. [15] But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. [16] And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. [17] For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) [18] Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. [19] For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. [21] That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Jesus atoned for him. This man recognized it.
A wonder of the Gospel is that Jesus atoned for our sins when we could not. We, in thanksgiving, recognize that and follow Jesus. God even helps us follow, because we sometimes stumble when we walk. We have to have his help, and He gladly gives it to those who want it.
No! Only God can save, atone, redeem and forgive us of our sins, not this speaker nor anybody else.
@@slimdude2011 I agree that only God can forgive us for our sins! Atone does not mean what you think it does. Atone is to ask for forgiveness! Not sure why so many people do not understand the definition of this word or why there is so much confusion.
Give your weakness over to God - He is the one who strengthens us. I pray you surrender your Heart to Jesus the Christ and experience His powerful love for you.
When Becket tells his story it happened to me, this brings me tears of joy, because when it happened to me I was in such a bad/dark place now I have faith(GOD), joy & peace
I was a lesbian, I was soooo angry, confused, ashamed, of my relationship. I was always struggling to search God but my partner was anti Bible. God came to my life, I am so much happier, I read the Bible and live in God's light. I am not part of that life anymore, I ask for God's strength and courage in prayer and reading the Bible â€
Bible doesn't condemn lesbianism, though.
â@@Mavors1099 But it does
@@SusanM-ez7ky
Nope
@@Mavors1099 lesbianism is insest. There is too much influence by satin in lesbianism. Same sex lesbianism is a homosexual insestItious behaviour and is not designed or intented by God.

God bless you and hope God give you eyes to see and ears to hear. â„ïž GOD IS merciful and will restore those who repent and turn to Himâ€ïž
@@Mavors1099 Homosexuality refers to same sex relationships for men AND women.
Thank you, Jesus!! Love this testimony, thank you for giving to the Lord! Being Born and Raised in Seattle, I struggled with homosexuality being a sin, the Holy Spirit profoundly convicted me, showed me that it is a sin when Jesus Saved me in 2019! Salvation is a miracle! What Jesus gives is Eternal, way better than sin!
Nice testimony blees you always .
Yes!!!
LOL
I was raised Evangelical, so I started to cringe when he said he walked into an Evangelical church, I started to think, oh great, what happened. I was so glad to hear you share your testimony. Straight forward and states the truth.
Our Father NEVER ceases to amaze me. Yet ANOTHER beautiful testimony! His Power and Glory is never ending!! Thank you Father, for this gift of life, and for ALWAYS being here for those that seek you, and I, we soooo adore you!!!
I love Becket!! Resonated with me as a Christian who also lived a former gay lifestyle. Jesusâ grace can change anyone!
Exactly. Our Savior is Almighty!
I was an unrepentant (heterosexual) fornicator for decades & never saw the harm in it until I finally studied the Bible & reflected on my own life & the lives of so many others I know & care about, & had the same conviction that Beckett describes. I've now been living according to Biblical chastity for a little over two years. So right there with ya, Brothers! â€
Jesus makes all things new, you are a new creation ! God bless you and your family !
Amen!
@@quint2857 homosexuality is inconsistent with Godâs plan for us to receive joy. Iâm far more joyful now living by Godâs sexual ethic than I ever was in my former gay lifestyle.
Itâs like being a kid. When youâre young or Biblically ignorant, you just want to do whatever you want with or without consequence. Once you get older or start reading the Bible, you understand that all the boundaries are meant to keep us from harm either in this life or Eternity.
True "Antichrists" greatest work. Appeals strongly to those who like to be equated to Sheep, requiring his cloaked guidance.
"You just want to do whatever you want" is only true for people who are inclined to a herd mentality or externally derived justifications. For the rest of us, breaking out of the shackles of environmentally-sourced life outlooks is itself the process of developing a sense of responsibility to self and community.
Some people NEED to get their positive values handed down to them. There are thousands of examples of tyrannical, narcissistic personalities over the ages falling on either side of the line between dogma and humanity.
The Beautiful truth .
As I got older, I realized the Bible is all man written rhetoric to either incite fear or faith. Either way, it's used as a tool for mankind to rule and suppress. No real evidence to back their claims of GOD or Jesus being resurrected except that its been "documented" by man, who are known liars and exaggeraters
Absolutely true. That shows how much growth we overcame and how much further we have to go. God is truly good. â€ïžđđŸ
â€Beckett and his story. Thanks for having him on. He always touches my heart. He has a great ministry. â€
I am old now, not in a relationship, born gay and will die gay. I am at peace with myself, have no regrets and sleep well at night. God be with you all.
This man said, â I find so much joy in obedience[ to Gods Word].â That is profound!
It's truly a wonder that so many people find peace and joy in something so simple!
Our examples are hard to understand sometimes but once you find true peace and joy in the Lord you will know. And you will feel no shame.
â@@BuzzardPlanet97 It is his life experience. I do not understand who is puzzled. Why does the movement, which has also infiltrated politics, continue to censor these stories, if activists say that the important thing is happiness? You were not born with a sexual orientation. Sodomy@ is not love. Sodomi@ is submission, abuse and humiliation. Submission is not love. There are also swear words like "f... off" or go f.... yourself, these are swear words that indicate humiliation. From a scientific point of view, through this erotic practice which has also spread among women (with other techniques) and in heterosexual couples, they are an indication of many pathologies such as abscesses, incontinence, tumors, hemorrhoids, testicular and prostate problems.
â@@BuzzardPlanet97 I don't understand why there is perplexity towards those who decide to abandon homosexuality and bisexuality.
They are treated worse than detrans. No one says it changes quickly, no one says it's easy. There are many underlying emotional and affective problems and it is not easy especially for those who have been totally involved in this lifestyle.
Sorry if you didn't understand my comment. I tried to do my best. I'm not american
Love your response, Rosita flor!
Which god of which bible and which religious superstition??
Beckett, you are so discerning. You have figured out and have allowed God to show you that âHis will be done,â not our will. For myself, I am very petite. I remember a high school acquaintance telling me I would probably never be able to have children. I was even hesistate to have children because I knew it would be difficult to carry a baby (I was tiny at 4 lbs myself) so I was fearful of this. But I put it in Godâs hands and let him lead me through this. Whatever pain I had to go through, I made up my mind to trust God and His will. Very similar. I went on to have two children (it was life threatening and difficult) but they were perfect and now we have two grandsons! SoâŠ.by trusting God we have so much more than we could ever imagine. May God continue to bless you because you are very special in Godâs kingdom. You have traveled the hard road and are entering through the narrow gate my friend. Hugs to you.
Yes, so true. I was going to have a hysterectomy years ago because of Uterine Tumors. My Holy GHOST filled Mother called me at the Hospital and told me that GOD said not to have the surgery.. I listened to her because I trusted the Christ in her. I told the nurses that I was leaving. I told them what my Mother said. I called my husband to come and get me that I was coming home. A few months later I got pregnant. The baby was born Premature and died. GOD still allowed me to have 2 more healthy children. If I would of had the surgery I would of, never known whether or not if I could of had Kids. GOD is so GOOD and MERCIFUL!!!!!
@@lynnhill286 God bless you! Fantastic story!! You took a leap of faith and were infinately blessed because of it!
Just came upon this. What a fantastic testimony and equally fantastic interview. Wow! Many thanks to Melissa, Becket, and most importantly our Lord and Savior!
I cannot imagine the joy in heaven, when this child gave it all up for our Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ! Thank you for your testimony.
Jesus dud the same thing for me.I was a lesbian for most of my life and I was miserable. I'm no longer like that. Praise God
â@@BeachsideHank the fact Christians obsess over it is just creepy.
@@wkdgrneyes Christians had to respond to societies obsession...let's be clear
@@wkdgrneyesthis statement is ironic because it's actually quite the opposite. the lgbt+ community make their sexuality their entire identity and everyone must know about it. Christianity makes it clear that you're identity is not in your sexuality, your gender, your race, or anything superficial like those things.
I was once a homosexual. Being the daughter of a minister, you can imagine my struggle. For a while, I thought I was "Born This Way. I even came to terms with God never forgiving me. Until I got on my knees and asked God himself. I said that if it was a sin and against nature to simply do a miracle and heal me. After all, our God is a God of miracles. Just like any person who is sick and needs a miracle, I asked for one. I said "Jesus if homosexuality is a sin, then please heal me because I choose you over everything. God answered and helped me. đ he did a miracle, and since then, I haven't looked back. Christians who accept homosexuality are only foolish themselves. God is very clear on Homosexuality like he is about fornication. But people will fornicate still, the trick is that we love God over our sins. When we do, God rewards us by helping us overcome temptation. Salvation is worth giving up our old nature. To say that homosexuality is not a sin is to deny that God did a miracle on me. I am living proof. Praise be to God!! Those progressive Christians need to repent and stop fooling themselves. The word of God can not be compromised nor changed for the sake of fitting in with the times.
you're Right!! praise the Lord.
GOD does not make mistakes and he does not lie!!!!
@Fred F same, I rooted myself in celibacy, but my homosexuality attractions I doubt will ever go away.
However, I have been developing an emotional attraction to a friend of mine, and thus I think perhaps we view sexuality far to rigidly.
@@lynnhill286 so when he made someone gay theyâre actually supposed to be gay? Otherwise god wouldnât have made him gay if he wasnât supposed to be gay. Donât question god
Modern definition of fornication is not the same. But you understand the point and that is what matters. Bless you.
Thank you for sharing your testimony. I've always been heterosexual so I've never had the same struggles or experiences as you but I definitely had plenty of sin in my life before being saved. Hearing how you just knew truth when you experienced the Holy Spirit was so wonderful. There were things I gladly let go of when I personally met Jesus so I know what you were describing.
I love how your Bible has notes throughout. It shows a well studied book.đ
This message is so profound and inspirational, thank you for sharing what The Spirit has written on your heart!
I'm fighting through this battlefield now. A lifetime of practicing wicca " which has no conflict with homosexuality or even group sex". Giving it the all to properly convert to Christ, pray for me.
Cling to the love of Jesus. His love will cleanse all of that sin away and will deliver you from the power of the evil one forever my brother.
Wicca indulge in sin and are often messed up ppl. Glad you got away from destruction and went into our lords love
Why give up an ancient religion that doesn't spread hatred for one that seems to encourage it?
I'm praying for you. đ I pray that as your eyes are opened, you will see that a world with no sexual boundaries or moral guardrails is a world with no peace, a world in which the vulnerable are abused. I pray that you will sense that Wicca is the worship of creation, rather than the worship of the Creator, and you will even be able to laugh at the stupidity of that! I pray that you will notice that the power in Wicca does not lead to human flourishing or joy, but to the degradation of your spirit and your body to lesser things. I pray that you will have strength, supernatural strength, to cast off the oppression of any spirit that wants to enslave you, and give your whole self to the God who wants to free you, in spirit and in truth. Amen and amen. May you feel the love of God and man in this journey!!! â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž John 8:32
God loves lgbt people. It's these nazified christian nationalists that try to convince us God hates lgbt people and it simply isn't true. God loves gay people and commands us to love one another. Also it's ok to retain occult esoteric knowledge God made magic as God himself is a magical being.
When he says God said "let Me show you more of My glory."
All those in a relationship with Christ start giggling, because we KNOW it. God AMAZING!!!!
To be honest, not all Christians experience such an overwhelming and powerful emotional/spiritual experience when they get to know Jesus, many Christians simply reads the Gospel and believe it, believe that this is true that God is real, and Jesus is Lord who died and rose again and from then begin to follow Him.
Same!! "BAM!" is pretty much how it goes.
@@scratchoriginalsdh You know their socks are gonna get knocked off.đ€Ł
@@nyxculp9290 yup. Personally, in some instances I have been wrecked for days at a time.
@@nikokapanen82 Correct. Getting saved isn't some emotional experience, but an unseen inner change made by God's grace.
You may experience an emotional reaction to that change, but the emotion is not the change itself. God changes the inner man at the spirit not the emotions.
Likewise biblical love (charity) is not an emotion. You can tell someone be warm and be full of food and not feed them (James 2:15-17) but your emotion doesn't help.
True love is an emotionless action. You feed them and clothe them because they need it, because you're trying to be more like Jesus. You may not even like the person but if you love them you will do these things. It's what you do.
The other person however will receive the gift of love and often have a powerful emotional reaction. They will know that you helped them when so many others would not.
They will be willing to listen to what you have to say about Jesus and love, once they have experienced a small fraction of that love from you.
You may be the only Bible some people ever read.
And then there are other times when it all hits you at once. God's love and mercy. Our unworthiness. Jesus' incomprehensible sacrifice.
BAM!
How do you keep a dry eye? How does this not drive you straight to your knees in thankfulness and worship?
Can you imagine the overwhelming flood of emotions the minute we get to Heaven and meet Jesus face to face? Because I can't.
This video was more uplifting to me than listening to a full blown church service or sermon! Candid honest sincere and humble truth! I haven't been to a church in years and this video brought me full flashback to that single and super important moment in my life when as a 14 yr old pot head I just like dude said..." I met Jesus"...His love and presence engulfed me and I surrendered. I got saved!!
Such an amazing testimony! Thank you God, Thank you Jesus, Thank you Holy Spirit!
I just absolutely love hearing Becket give his testimony! All praise to King Jesus!!!!!!
LOL
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
Love this! The pure joy and enthusiasm that comes from Beckett's testimony is inspiring! Thank you for this Melissa đâïžđ
Dear brother Becket, thanks for sharing your encounter, I am encouraged...you are appointment for such a time as this.
You are in our thoughts & prayers.đđŸâ€ïž
Thank you! Many people need too watch this that are struggling with this issue.
I watch Becket Cook's show all the time. It is so clear God is using this man in a mighty way. I was never in this lifestyle so if I tried to tell people that homosexuality is a sin they would accuse me of being a homophobe. However, they can't do it with Becket and he is reaching a lot of people who otherwise would never want to hear the Gospel. God works is mysterious ways.
But it's sin, just like other things are sin. They just, don't want to hear the truth.
The description of homosexuality as a lifestyle is a blatant oversimplification of human sexuality in general and homosexuality in particular. Such indoctrination of the collective societal psyche is paramount to both the formation and maintenence of the self validating delusion of heterosexuality possessing moral validity. The reason that we never hear the term " heterosexual lifestyle" is because there is no need to categorize heterosexuality with such descriptively inherent connotative oversimplification in order to subconsciously justify contempt and hatred through subjective comparison. The reason that you don't have sex with men is because you are heterosexually oriented. And, contrary to the religiously indoctrinated lie, you did not choose that orientation.
@@lynnbaker2336 That is what this video is about. It's about the Bible being clear that it is sin, and some people refusing to obey as a Christian, and attempt to find any justification for it. That's why you have free will. You can disobey, but you won't reap the benefits that the Bible talks about including going to Heaven when one leaves this Earth.
@@whatsup7535 what does the Bible say about casting the stone of subjective comparison in order to subconsciously justify contempt and hatred while donning sheep's clothing?
@@lynnbaker2336 That's why it's the truth. It's hurtful to some because they don't want to accept it.
This is an amazingly beautiful testimony. Thank you for being up-front and clear in your journey and commitment to God.
Very enlightening!!! Thank you for your complete honesty!!! Your testimony rings true and now you are free...God's love knows no boundaries â€
what an amazing and powerful testimony! i had chills the whole time! praise God!!!
I love "guardrails and boundaries" too! I like having clear direction aswell. Comfort and peace Jesus gives us freely...great interview!
Your depiction of God's boundaries as guardrails reminded me of a radio show I heard 30 years ago by James Dobson (I think) but he described God's boundaries in a way that I use often when talking with people about why God sets boundaries. He described being many floors up in a downtown hotel for an engagement. He said the room had a walk out balcony that offered a beautiful view of the city. When he looked out onto the balcony it was only because of the railing that he felt safe enough to walk out and enjoy the view. That boundary allowed him to enjoy that moment and that view because it provided safety. God's boundaries are just like that, they allow us to fully enjoy our lives within the safety of His boundaries. Of course he explained it much better than I do, but the concept is surprisingly lost on many people who say they are Christians.
Thank you, We all need to be reminded of his safety boundaries!!!!
I didnât know of Becket at all until I read his testimony, just yesterday, in the latest issue of Decision magazine. And then this showed up on my feed this morning! Becketâs teaching about Godâs boundaries is excellent and needs to be affirmed and practiced continually by all followers of Christ. Praise God for his love, wisdom and mercy!
Wow just like you said it feels so good to know that we are free and liberated for good. Great conversation may God continue to help you grow more and more in your walk.
I have heard Beckett's story many times and it never gets old. PTL for His mercy & grace.

@@billcarney829 I would, but we're having a pancake breakfast, and you know... serving those pancakes will get Catholics to heaven!
jeremiah 16:3-4. 1 Samuel 5:6. Exodus 9:15-16 Leviticusz 26:14-35 Number 21:2-3. Judges 18:1-28. Nedx molre? I hve a whole bibleful of evil to use agaInst you.
I am SO glad to see you on a program together! Your experiences and knowledge of the Word give you each VERY specisl testomonies. God bless you both for speaking the Truth in love.
I love Becketts story. I love the way he describes the guard rails of Christianity. It makes so much sense and itâs Gods way of protecting us!
Keep telling your story brother! There are still some who need to hear it. God bless you!
As an infant I reached my hand out to God and He took it. After 77 years as a believer You might think I would have no connection to people who found God later in life, but each story of redemption brings me joy and a deep emotional reaction to their salvation.
How does anybody know what they did as an infant
@@ryanmozert infant in terms of newborn in this Christian life( being born again in spirit). New life, new hope, new beginning, walking through faith through Jesus Christ who gave us strength in our daily struggles in life
@@overthere1238 trueđ
Read John chapter 1 verses 1 through 3 to learn about Christ you'll see
As a response to their salvation, the Angels in Heaven rejoice.
We all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God Roman's 3:23 ...Remember, Jesus came for the sinners.....I lived my life as I chose for 60 years...I believed there was a God but did things my way..I guess you could say I was a none. At 58 I was diagnosed with stage 4 Ovarian cancer and had mere months to live...I prepared to die and started some conversations with God during my reflection time at home. That was in May 2011.....by May 2014... I had come to understand what our Lord had done on the cross through the Bible reading I did every night and the conversations each day with the Lord. I turned over my life to the Lord and all my sin and regrets when I asked Christ for his forgiveness and turned from my ways. There was utter joy in my heart and that weight of sin was gone....I found a great church to grow in and I was nominated and served as a Deacon for five years. God has blessed me so much and I have lived a good life in Christ....I am ready to go home whenever I am called back to my eternal life...and that is a peace that surpasses all understandingâïžâŹïžđ
I never get tired of hearing Beckettâs testimony!!!â€
Me too.
Same
BeckeT. Becket. Becket. đ
I experienced the same âHoly Spiritâ celebration. Realizing for the first time, the meaning of lifeâŠand of course many tearsâ€
Iâm so happy to hear of Becketâs enlightenment. Yes, God sets these parameters to protect us in so many ways. God is a good and loving God who wants all to know him and receive salvation.đđ»đđ»
I went to a Christian college in my early twenties, and saying there is freedom within boundaries sounds like an oxymoron, but that is exactly what was taught at the college, and it is so true. If you know and abide by the boundaries, which we all fail at from time to time, thank God He is full of grace and mercy and forgives if we repent, you donât go around wondering if you are doing right or not. You donât go though life doubting yourself, and what you are doing. It is a blessing to know.
Powerful testimony of Godâs truth
I cry every time I listen to Becket's testimony. It's so awesome
Such a great testimony of Godâs grace and clarity in Truth. Thank you!
Most homosexuals are so unhappy, especially the ones I know. I as a Christian am more happy and at peace even though I have had cancer and lost a child
Well with Christianity and Muslims condemning them that's like half the global population. Then consider some family members judge you. Society judges you also so maybe being unhappy is a logical happening. Being gay doesn't make one unhappy. Not being accepted in a society in which we are supposedly equal does.
â@Natsu Satsujinki you stole my comment idea. bur right? the people we condemn and ostracized are unhappy all the time, don't know why
I let go of my bi behaviour and follow Jesus now, Sober and Celibate! :) Much more peace
You were never 'bi"
BecketâŠand all of you who are gay but who have accepted Godâs loveâŠyou deserve the fervent prayers of thanksgiving and support from every fellow believerâŠyou are the vanguard of something SPECTACULAR! May the Lord continue to bless you and strengthen you.
It's amazing how many people call themselves Christians and never open their Bible! Read the first chapter of Romans. The Bible is the Mind of God revealed to anyone that is interested enough to care what He thinks about it.
thank you for courageously sharing with us. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY BROTHER~
What an amazing testimony! Thank you for sharing this. Please pray for my son. He made a profession of faith as a child, lived as a missionary for several years. Then progressively over about 5 years he changed, renounced his faith, âcame outâ to me, and then dove head first into the homosexual lifestyle, and has since totally cut all ties with me and the rest of his family who do not 100% agree with âwho he is.â I am heartbroken and miss him so much. I pray that God with reveal himself to him, and his partner, and do whatever it takes to do so. Itâs been almost 2 years since the last time we spoke. He was so very hateful and deliberately hurtful. đą
I can relate. My daughter began struggling with same sex attraction in middle school and once she got into college fully embraced it and is now in a relationship. I'm so sorry your son has severed your relationship. We are on good terms but it's still very very hard. I too believed my daughter was born again; God only knows. I give my daughter (and son who is agnostic) to the Lord daily and trust that he is hearing our prayers. I pray that the Lord would get through to your son. In the meantime I pray for openings to reconcile the relationship.
This is one of those times in which you have to totally rest in the Lord. He is working in your son's life, even though it may seem as if He is not. One day, your son will have quite the testimony. Pray and trust our Savior.
My heart breaks for parents going thru this. But God never fails us he is always faithful. I know itâs hard when youâre going thru it.
Your prayers are not in vain đđŒ
Look up Beckett Cook's discussion on the letter he received about 10 years after his mother passed. Most beautiful letter EVER! That podcast is well worth viewing.
â@@chriswhittington294 Agreed. I really enjoyed that video. His mother was awesome.
Oh!! I had a very similar conversion. I cried and cried and cried again, feeling the power of His Spirit. God is so good đ
I rejoice that Becket is born again. That's a fantastic testimony. There are also some gay men I have met that are born again, but were not necessarily delivered like Becket. Deliverance is not always guaranteed in a miraculous way. Some men are delivered simply by being obedient, and putting to death the deeds of the flesh, day by day. They need our prayers as well.
I've been having problems lately with my tears and sermons/testimonies and this doesn't help. Love it . I have a gay brother who's married of course to a man. All I can do is pray for them both.
Well that sucks he made his own bed at
no worry about it
Pray and then cast all the care about the matter upon Him for He cares for you.
1 Peter 5 :7 - Then stand in faith, trusting God that He will deliver your brother and his friend. Thank God every day that it is done. Saying prayers.
Pray that God will send ministers across their path so that they will listen to and receive the truth. In the process of doing that be willing to be used by God to help deliver others that maybe only you can reach. It will be obvious on the day that God seeks to use you and when He does do not be afraid to speak the truth that He gives you for the person that you have been assigned to. Remember God's will is to get people into Heaven not keep them out.
How do you know your brother being happy and married to a man is NOT what God wanted for him? You praying for them to be happy together or for them to divorce and therefore potentially be miserable?
â@@verko5292God doesn't approve obviously
This is my favorite interview. I love hearing Becket's testimony, which is so inspiring and gives me hope for gay family members. I can't get enough of his testimony. Thank you so much.
There is nothing wrong with your gay family members.
Guess this Peter guy doesnât get it. Hopefully in time!
God has done such a wonderful work in Beckett's life!
Not that it's your place to judge God's work.....
beckeT
@@liamsouthwell27 indeed, please note that there are MILLIONS of ppl that pray over their dying childeren from starvation,sickness as bonecancer,torture,gone missing,abuse,etc... and get no help from god.. maybe they didn't prayed hard enough for their childeren or to the wrong god(s) or used the wrong words.. so its their OWN FAULT THEIR CHILDEREN DIED AND SUFFERED ???????
@@mekavio8231 I think You are throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Do You have a statistic of answered and denied prayers to state the former with such conviction? I think You are lumping all suffering together and blaming God for all of it. It might not be the best method of discerning the truth of God's intentions.
We live in a wretched place to test us so that we can be purified through trial and surrendering our temporary lives to the Lord in hope for the eternal life that will follow. Each of us has his own cross to bear and a dragon to slay.
Thank you so much for this video. I had been suffering from insomnia for over a month but after one to two minutes of listening to this it put me into one of the deepest best sleeps Iâve ever had. Praise God! Wondering if your videos will work for constipation ? Iâll let you know.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw Becket's face in this suggested video and immediately clicked to watch, I just love his discernment which comes from the Holy Spirit.â„ïž All praise be to the God who created all things and Jesus who is my Lord and Savior!
I love the way he says "I find joy in beung obefient and I love Gods bounderies"!! Oh my goodness!! Absolutely beautiful!! Thank you Holy Spirit for your amazing POWER!!
This was so stirring to listen to! Wow! â€ïž
(Side note: a lot of people complain and call the structure and discipline of people of Faith "strict"
Once you accept the Lord, you start revamping your life, your routines, your priorities are different, your thought process is different. Different can be good! A quote from one of my most favorite speakers, Dennis Prager "when the world becomes too secular, it ends." A lot of people think NOT having a faith means "freedom" No, that is the farthest from the truth.
And thank you for sharing your moment of meeting God. It made me cry, and I'm so happy for you! Sending prayers and best wishes to you!)
Please pray for me! Im 24 and I once was an active homosexual, and itâs been almost 2 years since I recommitted my life to the Lord and I cut all connections with that life. Itâs been very difficult, mostly struggling keeping my mind pure and keeping in the word. So please pray that the chains i so desperately want to break will fall. My dream is to be a public speaker and talk about the concise biblical teachings on homosexuality and my experience, and inspire to not identify with sin but identity with Christ
Thanking God for Becket's deliverance and praying many more will be set free from this bondage.
I love Beckett! I love Melissa! I thank God for their knowledge and faithfulness to share with the world.
What an incredible testimony of Godâs grace and mercy!!
That moment you are officially saved â€â€â€ amen! Jesus did this for me in 2019. I thought I was losing my mind or something lol I also cried and laughed. I felt like I was a child. Thank you jesus for saving amen đ đ
That is so wonderful, the Lord works so amazingly. I was delivered by sorrow. I lost someone and was crying and begging G-d to forgive me. I felt myself be delivered, I could feel the spirits leaving me. It was absolutely mind blowing. All of my former desires were all gone. I am a new person. I craved to read the Bible and pray, more than I craved food.
Pray for deliverance for my children!!!!
I like his last point. I agree that premarital sex is just as sinful as homosexuality. Something I wish many others realized when they come down hard on homosexuals. Everyone's taking about how being gay is wrong biblically but people aren't putting that same type of emphasis on straight fornicators which most likely comprise of more people then homosexuals. Maybe more people in the gay community and in the fornication communities could get saved if they realized this. Not sure if im making perfect sense but speaking from a philosophical standpoint. Thank you for bring this brave man of God on your channel. What a blessing to hear his testimony†Thank you Lord for your mercy and Grace.
Yes!!! When I came to Christ, immediately, I saw I was going to marry a man. It took me a while to leave the community, but only officially. I left in that moment in my heart. Hallelujah!!!!! Great testimony.
What an amazing testimony! Thank you for sharing. God Bless .
The ads that play prior to the start of this video and others could not be more polar opposite the content. Coincidence? I donât think so.
Great video interview with Beckett Cook! â€
Great testimony. This man found the Truth and is filled with the Holy Spirit. The Truth has set him free from his life of sin. I pray many who are lost in sin sees this.
"Sin" is the Antichrist's snare to keep you here forever more, playing the game of Sheep Think.
YES. FATHER GOD, let many find their way to this page, whether they are looking for it or not . Father let the page find them as well. We DECREE that this testimony will Bless many ( MILLIONS), and set them and make them FREE in JESUS CHRIST MIGHTY NAME. AMEN!!!!! Love and GOD BLESS!!!
Becket, at 8:16, I have the same question and wonder how can anyone not be âall inâ? Joy in obedience, YES!
I felt the same you feel something and know its right. Whilst reading about the crucifixion i literally cried and I'm not a emotional person normally i struggle still with faith i have had zero influence in my life regarding faith and i don't know a single person with faith so it's really not easy. I'll probably come back to it at some stage.
This is an amazing testimony, God is si Good an merciful all the TIME!!!!
Becket Cook has such a beautiful testimony. Melissa, please introduce him to Jen â€ïž I love your interview with her, too.
Who is Jen?
@@Mojo32 đI'm referring to the woman Melissa interviewed about a year ago. She mentions her - Jen - during the interview with Becket above.
@@Julia29853 Jen is a woman Melissa interviewed about 1-2 years ago, and Melissa mentions her during the interview above with Becket; Melissa also includes a link to her interview with Jen.
â@@Julia29853 Jen is a friend of Melissa's who was also saved out of a gay lifestyle. I saw an interview Melissa did with her. Loved it.
Praise God for this man. Our Lord will show you more then you can comprehend what a testimony
SO GOOD, thank you for sharing this!!
Powerful testimony. Thank you, Jesus for the Holy Spirit. Amen.
I LOVE this story. Thank you so much for sharing this.
God will give a sincere man the strength to turn away from a particularly difficult sin and your experience is a perfect reflection of that. Once you realized the truth, as you point out that a baby can distinguish the sweet from the sour, you also realized that you would not retreat back into that sin. You may well have helped another person to turn to the Lord. Well done and thank you for sharing this. You have so much to look forward to.
I loved your testimony. Praise God!
Can you please pray for my first born son; I was very much a mean spirited preacher, father and husband for the formative years of his life. I pushed him away and it would take this kind of miracle to reach him. Thank you!
I love hearing testimonies like this! Just renews my hope to keep evangelizing! You just don't know what God is doing inside someone else. Yes miraculous! Born again!
You were there. And didnât want the preacher to stop talking. Because you needed to hear the truth. The world does not offer anyone the truth.
I can completely understand!
Yes! I met Jesus 30 plus years ago.
Thank you dad!!
So God shows favouritism? I could have sworn that there was a passage that specifically said God has no favourites. Why does a just God give more chances for some people and not others? Where is the justice in that?
Incredible talk - thanks f0r sharing your story - praying many are ushered into Gods kingdom just like you have been Beckett. We serve an Amazing, loving, forgiving God. đ †âïž
