I was a parent who never accepted that for my daughter... I always reminded her of who she really is. If someone said she was gay... I would say not my child. People would say, you have to accept it. I said, "Never...She is now married with four kids. I am a praying mother who never gave in.
💯 same here I said NO!!! another friend was going through the same thing and she was accepting and I felt the need to validate my friendship by agreeing with her but there was something stronger. I said NOT MINE I found a friend that agreed with me in prayer and we prayed!!!!! Without my child knowing. She didn’t know how I’d wake up and pray!!!!!!. She came to me one morning and said I’ve found my person . She’s happily married and expecting my first grandchild. God, hummmm God. God is , he is GOOD!!!!!!!!.
One thing I believe is that parents need to be careful with what they put on their child from conception!!!. I wished so hard for a boy and when my daughter was born I was sorta disappointed. My bonding and attachment was skewed from the start. I’ve come to realise that was a rejection, that was the door that let that spirit in!!. I had to repent, build a relationship of trust. When my daughter came back from uni and said she was…. I knew not to reject her again I spoke the word of truth to her and then I went into my closet and PRAYED!!!!!. She didn’t know I was praying, I’d anoint her shoes, her clothes everything she didn’t know. She came to me and said, mum you know what I said what I told you bout myself, well I don’t think I am. I’ve met my person. My daughter is happily married to the most amazing loving man. I give GOD allllllll the glory!!!!!!. When a child comes and says I was born that way the Christian parrnt needs to dig deep, find out where that door/ portal was opened drive those demons back and shut/seal that door!!
Exactly! My mum wished I was a boy too,I understand where she was coming from since they made fun of her & my older sibling is a girl. She literally had my name planned as Jesse ,but later changed it to Jessica since I came out a girl
Great interview. I was a bi dude on the DL and know one knew other than guys I was messing around wit. I was always seeking love and seeking God. It took 27 years of seeking, knocking and asking, to finally have that spirit of homosexuality lifted off of me. I’m super grateful. And amazed though now that it’s gone I always knew it wasn’t me, but when you can’t beat ‘em sometimes we join them. It feels great to no longer lust over men. I live full time as a missionary and when I say as soon as I think God can’t get any better, SURPRISE!! He does!! Praise the Alpha and Omega, the Most High God and an immeasurable thanks to the Blood of Jesus, that spoke and speaks on my behalf. Thank You Yeshua!!! Who the Son has set free, is free indeed!!! There is about to be a mass breaking of the homosexual stronghold over the church. Glory to God!!! Somebody Praise God!!!!!
The most power statement was when Sophia said if we don't be community for them, there's an entire community of people who are awaiting to embrace them. My God!!!!!
I wish church world would understand that. If you don’t want to be the community someone else will. Church rejection doesn’t mean death of the person. The person goes on and finds their way
This is true for me! I’m starting to be convicted now because I’m seeking Jesus. But I can’t help but wonder what my walk would be like if I saw an actual church that wasn’t full or rejection and hypocrisy. The LGBT community has so many people that embrace you when all you want is love and understanding. It’s still rare in the church as we speak. We need the truth, as well as support and council!
I was coming to the comments to type this very thing. I don’t think the church realizes that they have become to “Holy” , much more Holy than Jesus who said He came to save that which was lost. Excellent testimony!!! Love people yall. Disciple them into something different and let God be God.
This is so powerful !!!! And I can relate with all of this ! I was in a homosexual Relationship for a while and it was a fight because I felt loved wanted nurtured accepted by my partner at the time. I was so afraid to give that up not really knowing if I would ever get anything close or better to what I had . But the lord met me ! And it wasn’t in church it was in my kitchen on my 22nd birthday when no one was around and my prayer wasn’t even save me. It was a cry for the Lord to get me out if he wanted me out ! God is faithful !!!! I’m now married 12 years , 2 kids and baby on the way ! And not that the evidence of my deliverance is my family and marriage but the change was in my mind and the healing i needed in my soul ! Inwardly then outwardly!!! ❤❤❤
struggling with this now. Sometimes you'll give anything to be loved. Just the enemy using our hurt against us. Pray for me guys! I came a long way. I don't wanna turn back.
I happened to go to a church where Sophia preached in Gary, Indiana years ago; little did I know God was preparing me for my grandson who told us he was gay after I heard her message🙌🏾 If I had not heard her testimony and what God had done for her, I would have destroyed my relationship with my grandson. I was also able to help my daughter through it. I shower my grandson with love and we are able to have deep conversations about God. I’m so grateful for God giving her a voice with a powerful testimony ❤ I know God is going to raise him up out of homosexuality 🙌🏾
This segment has me in tears. From battling bi- sexual feelings, surviving a religious cult, to praying for a full blown gay child, another in federal prison and so much more, this gives me so much hope😢! I am delivered. I vigorously pray for my children and sometimes get discouraged but I thankful for this testimony!
My mom spoke the same about me in her womb. Can testify the orphan spirit stayed on me until 2022…I’m 56 years old now. 🙌 Had to have the physical umbilicus surgically removed to be set free and delivered. God did it! 🙌
Woww this is beautiful ❤ I am currently in a same sex relationship. I love God and I have accepted Jesus into my heart. I’ve been living this lifestyle for quite some time. I verbally told GOD that I like Women. GOD still use me in powerful ways because he knows my heart for him is genuine and pure. But I know little by little he’s working my deliverance out and I will be delivered completely by the power of GOD.
What a powerful testimony described with such wisdom ❤ A friend of mine (grew up in the CoE) spent 10-15 years of her life in a lesbian relationship. When she first told me she had a girlfriend, I told her she knows my faith and where I stand regarding her relationship, but she'll always be my friend. Today, she is married to a man with 2 kids and she gave me the honour of being her maid of honour because of my FAITH and how it inspired her!! 🎉 Praise Jesus for his patience and love towards us. 🙏🏼
Amen. God is so good. I loved my daughter through this same process, after several difficult years of prayer and fasting, she is now engaged to marry a wonderful young man. Praise God.
Thanks so much for sharing I also struggled with the homosexuality lifestyle, Deception, Bullying, Rejection Etc & I gave my life to God in 2022 & Was Baptized. God is delivering me little by little and I’m Glad I answered the call🤝🏽🙏🏽
This was power. Thank you for doing the interview and making this show available. I am a leader in the church, and I kept saying the issue is so complex Pastor don't know how to handle it. I came across Sofia's testimony back in the day at Apostle Eckhart's events. I praise the Lord for her testimony.
Amazing im going through the samething. Im female been looking like a male since Childhood. I stopped going to church due to the pressure to dress different and change and i knew i couldn't. Its been hard but this is so amazing because i knew the Lord brought her threw than me too. This testimony is every thing to me thank you for sharing bc this is hard n id never wish this sin on anyone
Beautiful testimony! Thank you for sharing this with the world it is definitely needed…I loved what you said about your process and then Tomi adding the phrase little by little. Just absolutely amazing how God does work if we allow Him and trust the process! He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus! Hallelujah!
This is a beautiful story of beauty for ashes! When Prophet Sophia’s husband Tommy spoke I started to cry uncontrollably. What a powerful love story! 🥹 God is amazing 🙌🏽
I have been following for a few yrs now 8 to be exact. Her story amazes me. The hand of God over her life. Through the loss, through the blow up bed. Called to the pulpit for the lost and forgotten. It gives me hope that God has an after this for all of us and his Glory shall be revealed. As a single mother listening to this comeback kid. Tells me there is more to this and the ending shall be greater. Thank you for sharing your testimony May the honor and Glory be on to our God 🙌🏼
The Holy Spirit just told me homosexuality still leaves you empty. I'm a recovering Christian who struggled with SSA. This is going to be a great listen I love this lady's testimony.
This was a very insightful and real conversation on the topic of LGBT. As one who has been delivered from that lifestyle. I can identify with her comment about the transformation process.
This was ana mazing interview. I absolutely love Sophia Ruffin. I have been following her for years and I am always so glad what God is doing in her life and ministry.
Beautiful ❤ My sister nailed this sermon. I am a living witness, and deliverance is exactly how she explained this stronghold. Trust God, HE deliver in His time. I am Saved by God for God. # Jesus Saves. ❤❤❤
Thank you Tobi and your special guest…this brought me so much hope for my sons freedom as he is born again and spirit filled and still walking out his journey ❤
This intelligence is so important and needed to help us (the church) to check ourselves and prepare us for the many precious souls that are heading our way. People need to belong and be accepted before they believe. This is beautiful. Thank you so much for this!!
One of the hardest challenges for me was to be able to link my same sex attraction to a cause because everyone could accuse an abuser for their situation and that could be a good point for them to be heard but any other cause was more of a demon posses perception which is still the case for some people today. It took me so long to stop hating myself because of this but thank God for how far he brought me. It is more heartbreaking when I hear people disvalidate once experience cause the person doesn’t have “a solid reason to be same sex attracted aka being raped or abused” mean while sometimes it has to do with rejection or even bullying.
May be what I wrote makes no sense but what I meant was growing up I wanted to blame someone for making me feel like I felt towards people of the same sex cause back then the narrative was more of like the cause of this should be rape or abused and that was the narrative I could literally see everywhere which really pushed me to hate myself and later own hating God for loving me. 😂 Thank God this topic is been address in the church today it really a big step towards deliverance. My comment is totally my personal point of view and base on my own experiences and I might be wrong but I’m still learning but I’m grateful to God of how far he brought me. ❤
@@kingstonlucas3412 Thank you for writing this. So were you sexually abused (if you don't mind me asking), or were you like Sophia where you felt like you were born with it?
This was an amazing interview!! Not just for people who may be struggling with homosexuality but also for anyone who dealt with rejection, identity issues!!! The love of ABBA through Sophia’s story should be the focus for anyone struggling with identity issues or sin😭💕
Some have extremely strong desires to drink, some to steal, some to lie. All those who love God, choose to turn away from their lusts day in and out. Struggling from homosexuality is no different from the other challenges.
@NickGagnon-u1v because the world told you that one sin is fine and another is worthy of jail does not make the sins different. So if you say that these are different, then I say that stealing is harder to overcome so then that makes homosexuality easy to overcome. Do you see how ridiculous that sounds? So in summary, whatever you or I say doesn’t matter. God has outlawed the sin and informed us of the consequences. Let those who have ears to hear and eyes to see, be warmed. And whoa to whoever tries to delete this message.
One of the best things that happened to me was the day I stopped needing or even wanting validation from anyone. Not wanting to explain or prove myself to anyone to convince them of anything.
I lovvvvveeee her testimony!!! So many churches need to hear this!! I’m so glad I go to a church where we love everyone -our Pastor still preaches sin- but we still love everyone and allow God to do His thing!!
Her mother indeed gave birth to precious fruit of the womb! Her love for Holy Spirit, The Father is undeniably real. Her Pastors’ support was so important, so heartbreaking that so many could walk away because of unloving shortsightedness from other Christians.
This is an exceptional interview. Thank you Sophia and Tommy for sharing your story. Thank you Tomi for being a thoughtful and compassionate interviewer! God’s hand is also over your ministries! To God be the glory!!!!🙏🏾❤️
Great episode & power packed! I didn’t struggle with same sex attraction or homosexuality. Never been in a same sex relationship. However, I’ve struggled with other sexual issues! I thank the Lord through the power of the Holy Spirit for helping me trust the process! Thank you Sophia (beautiful name, it’s my new grand-baby name)! I was so touched & inspired by your story. Thank you for sharing! BTW, you were a beautiful bride!
Such fresh revelation of how to journey with folk. I just remembered how I walked with somebody for 11 years and watched God bring him thru. Man,what a fight it was for him while others were saying it's OK.Tday he's a pastor married with children! Let God be true!! By Grace!
Salvation has no appearance. Wow. Powerful!!! This is why we must be careful not to judge people outwardly because we don’t know where they are at in their journey and what God is doing on the inside of them. Only those who are walking in the spirit will understand.
This is an amazing testimony. So many wisdom nuggets for church folk to take on board and not try to take the place of the Holy Spirit as He transforms lives. This story is a reminder that we ought to be patient with people as they journey through knowing Him and not expect instant fruit of the Spirit. All glory to God.
Ughh God is soo Good!! 😅 His Mercy endureth to All!! Thank you Jesus This was so powerful and I had tears thru-out😂 Praise YAH for Her deliverance, and making all things New in her Life! One of my favorite scriptures❤
It’s very spiritual thing😮 Cause I used to work as a caregiver lesbian elderly lady and over sudden i saw other lesbians attracted to me 😮 so I quit the job and now I am free fro the lesbian spirit in Jesus name🙏
2 of my 3 daughters are deep in the homosexual lifestyle and all 3 don’t talk to me. Thank you Sophia for sharing and encouraging us that Holy Spirit will bring them back to Himself. I have always know this, but I felt the grace on your testimony
God bless you! Your testimony was so helpful! I was in adultery when I was born again, coming out of that was a process as well. I am thankful for the advice of your mother, the children are blessed and I am not their God. Hallelujah, such good advice.
Praise God. Your story just leads me to glorify God. Indeed he who started the good work in all of our children who are being caught in the enemy's net by deception will bring it to completion by delivering them, and leading them to the truth that sets them free by thepower of his Holy Spirit. He is more than able. What a mighty God we serve. The devil is a liar. Luke 10:19🙏🏾
I thank God that his ways are not man's ways and his thoughts are not man's thoughts. Man is ready to condemned, and God always loving and transforming. Thank you my GOD for your love.❤
Excellent Interview; I heard this testimony before; but seeing Gods finished work as it pertains to Sophia now being married and having e her husband right by her side is encouranging and a blessing...See What The Lord Has Done💙🌹💙📖🙏🏾
That was deep and key what she said. “You don’t have to be their God”. As Christians, we have to let God be God. Simple and deep advice. Give it all to God!
I miss first encountering Sophia on Periscope back in 2016. I knew she was special when watching those lives. May God continue to get ALL the glory out of your life, in Jesus' name!!
I was a parent who never accepted that for my daughter... I always reminded her of who she really is. If someone said she was gay... I would say not my child. People would say, you have to accept it. I said, "Never...She is now married with four kids. I am a praying mother who never gave in.

that forced rape , she has kids through forced rape similar to forced relationship , heterosexuality is not consent and free will

Some have extremely strong desires to drink, some to steal, some to lie. All those who love God, choose to turn away from their lusts day in and out. Struggling from homosexuality is no different from the other challenges.

What a beautiful testimony of a life transformed by God. To HIM be all the glory!!! ❤️❤️🥰
Sophia have an awesome testimony! Her journey is so amazing. God get all the Glory!
Her mother indeed gave birth to precious fruit of the womb! Her love for Holy Spirit, The Father is undeniably real. Her Pastors’ support was so important, so heartbreaking that so many could walk away because of unloving shortsightedness from other Christians.
This is an exceptional interview. Thank you Sophia and Tommy for sharing your story. Thank you Tomi for being a thoughtful and compassionate interviewer! God’s hand is also over your ministries! To God be the glory!!!!🙏🏾❤️
“Jesus is the testimony of my salvation!”
Yea I’m done🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾God is so good!!!!
Great episode & power packed! I didn’t struggle with same sex attraction or homosexuality. Never been in a same sex relationship. However, I’ve struggled with other sexual issues! I thank the Lord through the power of the Holy Spirit for helping me trust the process! Thank you Sophia (beautiful name, it’s my new grand-baby name)! I was so touched & inspired by your story. Thank you for sharing! BTW, you were a beautiful bride!
What a great interview! The honesty is so brave.
Little by little God is always by my side 🎉❤ Thanks
28:44 “Give your life to Jesus He’ll give you a brand new one, He won’t try to fix the old one.” Whew
Thanks for sharing your Divinely Dynamic testimony. Continued blessings to you and your family
Such fresh revelation of how to journey with folk. I just remembered how I walked with somebody for 11 years and watched God bring him thru. Man,what a fight it was for him while others were saying it's OK.Tday he's a pastor married with children! Let God be true!! By Grace!
Amazing God. Such a beautiful testimony.
Salvation has no appearance.
Wow.
Powerful!!!
This is why we must be careful not to judge people outwardly because we don’t know where they are at in their journey and what God is doing on the inside of them. Only those who are walking in the spirit will understand.
Her story needs to be a movie wow awesome Ty for sharing ❤
This testimony really blessed my heart❤️so much so that areas of my life was addressed. Blessings
what a beautiful story, thank you Sophia for sharing your incredible testimony
Absolutely 💯 beautiful. What a blessing to hear the Lord's faithfulness from the womb through the process of redemption. Hallelujah.
This is an amazing testimony. So many wisdom nuggets for church folk to take on board and not try to take the place of the Holy Spirit as He transforms lives. This story is a reminder that we ought to be patient with people as they journey through knowing Him and not expect instant fruit of the Spirit. All glory to God.
Ughh God is soo Good!! 😅 His Mercy endureth to All!! Thank you Jesus This was so powerful and I had tears thru-out😂 Praise YAH for Her deliverance, and making all things New in her Life! One of my favorite scriptures❤
Love you Sophia and your ministry❤ Praise God and thank you for sharing.
This is an absolute blessing!
Get to know the person and not their sin!!!!! So, powerful!! The church really needs to hear this!!
What a beautiful testimony 🙏💕🌷
What a powerful testimony! Thank you to the host and guest for this powerful episode
It’s very spiritual thing😮
Cause I used to work as a caregiver lesbian elderly lady and over sudden i saw other lesbians attracted to me 😮 so I quit the job and now I am free fro the lesbian spirit in Jesus name🙏
I needed to hear this. Thank you.
Very thought provoking video that answers difficult questions
I was in that lifestyle for 13 years I literally fought like my life depended on it to get out. Thank you Jesus 🙏🏿
❤ Beautiful testimony Thank you for sharing
What an excellent interview. God Bless You!
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL TESTIMONY!!!🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌🥰 A BEAUTIFUL TRANSFORMATION!!!🙏🙌🥲 A BEAUTIFUL (LOVE) CONNECTION!!!😍💓💞
2 of my 3 daughters are deep in the homosexual lifestyle and all 3 don’t talk to me. Thank you Sophia for sharing and encouraging us that Holy Spirit will bring them back to Himself. I have always know this, but I felt the grace on your testimony
Because you guys give gays and lesbians award for being sick…Now every kid want the award too!
God bless you! Your testimony was so helpful! I was in adultery when I was born again, coming out of that was a process as well. I am thankful for the advice of your mother, the children are blessed and I am not their God. Hallelujah, such good advice.
Praise God. Your story just leads me to glorify God. Indeed he who started the good work in all of our children who are being caught in the enemy's net by deception will bring it to completion by delivering them, and leading them to the truth that sets them free by thepower of his Holy Spirit. He is more than able. What a mighty God we serve. The devil is a liar. Luke 10:19🙏🏾
GOD'S LOVE AND TRUTH WILL SET ALL CAPTIVES FREE IN JESUS CHRIST MIGHTY KING NAME!
Wow I am encouraged. This opens my eyes how to deal with situations like this. God bless
I thank God that his ways are not man's ways and his thoughts are not man's thoughts. Man is ready to condemned, and God always loving and transforming. Thank you my GOD for your love.❤
Excellent Interview; I heard this testimony before; but seeing Gods finished work as it pertains to Sophia now being married and having e
her husband right by her side is encouranging and a blessing...See What The Lord Has Done💙🌹💙📖🙏🏾
Man this was awesome! God bless this beautiful sister!
Wow this was beautiful and heart felt. Well done. I pray many will take the leap of faith and trust God’s process..
Amen!! I thank the Lord for allowing me to see come upon this video it was very much needed and help to the Body of Christ ❤
This was so powerful and right on time 🙌🏽
Truly, He makes all things beautiful in His time ❤❤❤ this was so insightful. God bless you all
Praise The Lord! God bless this young lady and her husband.
“Trust the process “
That has been what I’ve been saying for a few days too. God is so incredibly wonderful and He is trustworthy
That was deep and key what she said. “You don’t have to be their God”. As Christians, we have to let God be God. Simple and deep advice. Give it all to God!
I miss first encountering Sophia on Periscope back in 2016. I knew she was special when watching those lives. May God continue to get ALL the glory out of your life, in Jesus' name!!
This is such a POWERFUL interview!!!
