Hello guys
When I was around 12 to 13 years old,
I was addicted to video games.
I used to play strategy games, MMORPG online, Runescape
Age of Empires, Starcraft, and those of the sort.
I spent around a whole year playing
and I would spend 5 hours a day playing those games
I was a really skinny guy, and I started gaining weight that time
Then, after that, after my parents were praying for me,
about me
to realize what I'm doing and how this is so stupid
So, a little later I realized and I started working out instead
That was my substitute
And so, working out became my idol.
I would work out one hour a day, two hours a day,
every single day I would train all my body parts.
I didn't care if I was sore.
This was my substitute, this was where I found my
my "getting high", it was something I was dragged to.
Naturally, taking one rest day a week
And even that one rest day I would want to do something
I couldn't sit there.
I had that desire within me
Then, after that,
After I realized where I was going with all this working out
I still continued
I did begin to realize the same way I realized with games,
how it's not the most important thing in the world.
I began to realize working out is not the most important thing
in the world.
And, around middle school
7th, probably started with 6th, Yeah, 7th grade.
I started having problems with ***.
*** is *** desire, for girls, for...
I was never gay, of course, but
that's what was going on
And that was up until recently, probably a year or two ago.
Why I'm telling you all this...
Me, having *** for a girl or someone of the opposite
gender
Is probably what you guys experience towards the same gender.
And I totally understand that it is an uncontrollable inner desire
I have spoken with a lot of homosexuals and gay people before
And I know what they experience.
However, I see...
I see my *** or sex before marriage and stuff like that
just as much of a sin as gay guys or homosexuals
showing their *** and their desire for other guys
If you understand what I mean.
Now, you're gonna say, it's a natural drive why would God create us this way?
Why in the world would I have desire for another guy
Why in the world would I be dragged to do it?
The same way I can ask myself and say
"Why am I having *** towards girls,
why can't I just have a good, clean relationship
without having all these thoughts running in my
head?"
And I would totally agree with you.
Why would that happen?
But you see, things changed recently.
A few years ago, when I fully gave my life over to God
and I asked Him to free me of all these things
and He did.
He did, and I stopped having *** for girls,
that *** drive that I couldn't control in my head and thoughts like that
and hasn't entered my mind for quite a long time now
and it doesn't even cross my mind.
Now, you're saying it's different for us homosexuals
for us, gay people, because you have no idea what we experience
Let me tell you two stories.
There are two people I met over YouTube
both of which changed my mind a lot on homosexuality.
Both of them were homosexual and were gay.
One of the guys lives in the US
and the other one lives in Canada.
The one who lives in the US,
he did not want to come to God, he did not want to believe in God.
He grew up in a semi-Christian family
and knowing that he had those inner desires, he was going through depression states.
Probably what most of the gay people go through right now.
And he didn't understand why this is happening.
And so after various trials of trying to suppress those feelings,
he finally stood on his knees and said:
"God,
if you exist...
if you exist
in Jesus's name I ask you
take these things away from me
and take this desire away from me."
And so right now he...
he was freed of that *** towards guys
freed of that desire towards them.
And right now he has a drive for girls,
just like any other guy does.
And he is a Christian now, and he has a girlfriend.
And he says he sincerely,
I spoke with him...
I'm not going to name any names or location or anything like that
because I was asked not to.
He genuinely has experienced God in his life,
and this was something that changed him altogether.
Now I'll tell you about a second guy.
This guy was in a much more depressed state.
He's from Canada.
He wanted to commit suicide and on that night when he wanted to commit suicide,
he sent me a message on Gmail.
It was a chat message.
So I began to speak with him.
I'm also not gonna name any names.
He said: "Paul, I want to suicide, I had sex with a man. "
And this was aa...
you know, Imagine someone texting you and telling you
"I want to suicide because I had sex with a man,
and I feel guilty on the inside, I have this emptiness,
and I have no idea what's going on..."
So, I told him the same stuff I told you
How I struggled with ***, and how God freed me
and I told him that "God can free you of homosexuality,
and He can free you of these desires towards men,
all you have to do is ask Him for forgiveness,
and give yourself over to Him."
and I genuinely said that,
and he heard me out,
he 'took heed to my words',
... if you want to be 'Old English' [smile]
And, basically we prayed with him that night.
After that night, he, to this day, has genuinely not had any feelings towards men.
Before he used to be attracted towards muscular bodies
and so on...
Right now he has no feelings towards men and he has lost that desire.
Right now he attends a Christian Church.
And he has been changed altogether as a person.
So God freed him of that sin.
Also, the same way he freed me of that *** towards girls.
And whoever you are, whether you're a homosexual
or whether you're straight.
I just wanted you to know that God does miracles.
God does exist.
And He can change your life and your desires.
IF you understand what He's done for you on the cross and why He came into this world,
Which is to free people of sins,
Which is to give them a new life.
And here are just three stories, including my own
on how God freed me and these other men.
And how they started living a Christian life.
And a life free of chains and bonds of sin,
which they couldn't control.
So this is me going out to all you guys,
I have a big, gay base of fans or followers,
here on YouTube, and on Facebook.
So I get to encounter these kind of people a lot
and I view you no more of sinners than
I do everyone else who struggling with *** towards
girls and stuff like that...
or towards video games or something else.
Because all people are sinners.
BUT, what I'm here to tell you is that Jesus Christ
is able to free you...
And I have a big Muslim base too,
and you guys are going to disagree with me.
But I'm talking to you guys from personal experience,
and from experience of those others who have
given themselves over to God,
and who have changed.
And before it was a natural drive,
just like for most of you guys watching my video,
you have that natural drive.
And it's not like they're suppressing it anymore,
It's gone,
It's gone altogether.
So may God bless you to find the True Path,
and know that He still loves you as much as He
loved me.
It says that "for God's love is known through that
...that He loved us while we were yet sinners."
While we were yet in our trespasses,
while we rebelled against God with out own actions
and nature.
He still loved us.
And He loves all of you.
And He can free you of those things.
So that's my video for today.
I just thought this was an important question to
address,
because many people misunderstand what the Bible
talks about homosexuality or sin.
And I just wanted to give you a new perspective
on what God does to all those things.
And they are punishable with Hell,
but He also loves you so much He gives you
a way out.
A genuine, free gift of freedom
from all these things.
Alright, later guys!
My next video is going to be a hand press tutorial.
That seems to have gotten the most likes on
my previous video.
So I'll see you then.
God bless!
bye bye.
