Before you watch

This testimony contains graphic descriptions of childhood sexual abuse, crystal meth addiction, prostitution, gender transition, and sustained demonic oppression. What makes it worth watching is the specificity of the deliverance — seven demons leaving a body in one night in a mother's living room — and Tommy's unflinching honesty about the identity war that preceded it.

What this story teaches

People can agree with lies spoken over them so deeply that the lie becomes their entire identity — and yet God can dismantle an identity built over decades in a single night.

How God moved

The lie Tommy carried

Maybe they saw the real me when I couldn't see myself — maybe I really am gay, maybe I really am a female trapped in a male's body.

What Jesus showed him

He had agreed with the words spoken over him his whole life — that he was gay, that he was a female trapped in a male's body — and built his entire identity around that lie. Jesus met him in his mother's living room and pulled that false identity out of him, showing him who God had actually created him to be.

Go Deeper

If you're in the LGBTQ or you're identifying and you want a real encounter and you're struggling in this area, it's not about going from gay to straight, it's going from living a life of righteousness and holiness. Don't worry about the pressure of what society tells you that you have to do. You have to be married, you have to do all these things. God will begin to develop new desires for you. He'll give you new desires in your heart. Just surrender to him. If you're struggling and you want to do it, just look at the testimony of my own story. Again, if God did it for me, he is able to do it for you.

What you can take from this

If you have been living inside a label someone else put on you, ask God this week to show you what he actually says about who you are — not what the world said, not what the bullies said, but what he says.

Identity theft

From grade school onward, other children called him gay and feminine. He began to agree with these words: 'Maybe I really am gay. Maybe they saw the real me when I couldn't see myself.' This agreement led to full adoption of a female identity, estrogen injections, and plans for gender reassignment surgery.

Unnamed entity

Severe recurring night terrors from a young age — his mother had to bust through the door to wake him. Felt hands all over his body suppressing him. Heard demonic tongues in his ear while fully awake. Felt a heavy presence jump on his chest after nightmares.

Progressive entrapment

Started with cocaine at age 13, progressed to crack cocaine, then crystal meth. Used substances to suppress trauma and escape noise. Stayed up six days at a time. Addiction opened his mind to deeper demonic activity and deeper perversion.

Counterfeit spirituality

Visited a botanica — a witchcraft store — to purchase estrogen over the counter. Was present at a card and dice reading session that resulted in a demonic entity attaching to him, which his spiritually sensitive mother discerned had entered the house with him.

Spirit of fear

After a family member warned him the church would judge him for sharing his testimony, Tommy was silenced for 8 years. 'The fear of man really silenced me and put me in a place of fear to really share what God has done.' Always felt a hand over his mouth.

All alone by myself, I just all I knew was to cry out for help. I began to cry out to God. I just began to tell him, 'I'm sorry for being homosexual. I'm living a homosexual life. I'm sorry for how I treated my parents. I'm sorry how I treated my family. I'm sorry for cursing. I'm sorry for doing drugs.' Everything that I can think of of the things that I've done in my life, I was just telling God that I was sorry.

My mom ended up praying for us in this moment, doing what she could do. She begin to pray for several hours.

3

I told the Lord that I would dedicate my hair to him, that it was going to be a sacrifice that I was making of myself, of an old identity that I believed who I was. It was like the Lord was cutting off a false identity of what I believed for myself.

4

I made the decision to give my life to the Lord through baptism the death burial and resurrection and really just going into that place and really fully surrendering my whole life to him.

5

I started speaking. And I kept speaking. And I continued to share my story. And I kept speaking again. And I realized that as I kept doing what the Lord told me to do was to keep speaking, the fear of man broke off of me.

Luke 15:17

The prodigal son coming to his senses — Tommy's life verse, used in ministry for parents of children struggling with identity.

Acts 9:1–18

Tommy parallels his blindness and encounter with Jesus to Saul on the road to Damascus — scales falling, seeing himself as God sees him.

1 Corinthians 11:14

Scripture about it being shameful for a man to have long hair — Holy Spirit used this to convict Tommy to cut his hair and surrender his old identity.

Tommy's Christian Walk

Night terrors completely stopped after conversion. Drug addiction — crystal meth, cocaine, cigarettes — eradicated overnight. Left prostitution and the homosexual lifestyle. Cut his long hair as a physical act of surrendering his old identity. Baptized. Received the Holy Spirit. People who knew him before asked what happened because he was unrecognisably changed.

I totally felt like a brand new person. My whole life got transformed literally overnight.

crystal meth addiction, cigarettes, drug addiction entirely — 'from a drug addict to not wanting drugs at all, from smoking cigarettes to not smoking cigarettes at all — completely everything got eradicated that night.' Also delivered from seven demons in a single encounter.

From a drug addict to not wanting drugs at all, from smoking cigarettes to not smoking cigarettes at all — completely everything got eradicated that night. The night terrors stopped. He pulled everything out of me. Delivered from seven demons. Set free from the homosexual lifestyle, from prostitution, from the false identity of being a female.

Prayer

Is today your day?

Yes — I'm Ready

Absolutely, He will.

You don't have to figure everything out right now.

You don't need to have all the answers.

If something stirred in your heart while you were watching or reading — that's not nothing.

That is the Holy Spirit gently knocking on the door of your heart.

Stay right here. There's no rush. The Spirit doesn't pressure or hurry.

Watch another video. Read a little more. Take your time.

When you're ready — even if “ready” just means a little curious — Jesus is ready to meet you.

You don't have to clean up your life first.

You don't have to pass any test.

You only need to say a simple “yes” to Him.

He will take care of the rest.

“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”

Luke 11:9

I was a dark-skinned girl who hated herself, always trying to be validated by people around me, living a lifestyle I shouldn't have been living. I changed my eye color, my hair, chased relationships — but I always had a big friend group and felt so empty inside.

Corey — testimony

Corey

I was a 40-time convicted felon who spent 17 years incarcerated — a drug smuggler, thief, and dealer who believed I could never be good enough for God. I always had insecurities, feelings like I was never enough, and I ran from God into every kind of crime and chaos.

Sequoia — testimony

Sequoia

I was a stripper and an escort who hadn't been sober since I was 18. I felt like trash. I was angry, full of shame from childhood violation, and I thought my life had no meaning. I was being trafficked and beaten, and the only way I could do the work was to stay intoxicated.

Sarah — testimony

Sarah

I was a devoted Buddhist raised in strict Buddhism, then turned to Hinduism and witchcraft, praying to many gods across Thailand, India, and Switzerland. I was self-focused, doing everything for myself. I was always searching — from childhood I knew something was missing — but I couldn't find the answer.

Christa — testimony

Christa

I was a shamanic healer and love addict cobbling together an identity from tarot, spirit guides, and relationships with men. I was in pain all the time — like an open canker sore — and I was convinced I was working for the light while I was actually an agent of the enemy.

Yesupadas — testimony

I was an Untouchable boy treated worse than an animal, a committed communist who made a blood covenant to bring revolution to India. I was drinking, in gangs, cutting people, saw dead bodies — and I was happy doing it because I thought I was taking revenge.

Omar — testimony

Omar

I was a fatherless kid from the projects who adopted a fake identity to hide where I came from. I chased women, cocaine, and alcohol for years trying to fill an emptiness I couldn't name. I had a failed marriage, kids I couldn't raise, and I felt like I was screaming for help from inside a dark cell and nobody could hear me.

Rodney — testimony

Rodney

I was a little Black kid growing up in the streets, no father, looking up to drug dealers and OGs, trying to be the tough guy, the gangster. I was searching for identity, acceptance, and validation in all the wrong places — and I had a temper that could flip on a dime.
