Trans No More
God led Arianna Armour out of the trans lifestyle
Raised in a seemingly lukewarm Christian family, Arianna first experienced same-sex attraction at the tender age of four. Maybe three years later, she embraced a masculine lesbian identity.
Growing up, Arianna began having anger and violence issues. She became entangled with the mental health industry, taking psych meds and landing in mental hospitals ten-plus times. During this time, she resented God because of her struggles.
At age eighteen, Arianna, who was in relationship with a woman she intended to marry, began her transition by taking testosterone. Though initially happy, she noted that she still felt suicidal and depressed and that the superficial changes “didn’t really help [her].”
At some point, Arianna became homeless. A girl from her gym invited her to church. Though reluctant, she decided to go. At the service, she “felt the love of God for the very first time in [her] life.” For a year afterward, she “pursued” Jesus through Bible-reading and prayer.
Then, she was poised to get married, presumably to her ex girlfriend. At this point, she asked God why she wasn’t “seeing breakthrough in [her] life.” God answered with a vision showing a heterosexual couple, a male gay couple, and a lesbian couple. Generations of children issued from the heterosexual couple, but the homosexual couples were dead-ends.
God then told her, “I made man and woman so you could re-create and share the good news of My Son, Jesus Christ. If the devil can convince somebody (a little boy or a little girl, a man or a woman) that they are gay, lesbian, or trans, not only is the devil going against My will… but the devil is wiping out entire family bloodlines and generations of people that I intended to be born.”
Arianna realized she had been basing much of her life off of misguided feelings, one being that God hated her. She also realized, “God loved me the entire time. I just had no idea about it, because unfortunately His people didn’t do a good job at telling me and showing me that.”
She chose to follow God, underwent deliverance at church, and learned about demons and false identities. At the time of her testimony, she said, “[T]he desire to be with a woman is gone. The desire to be a man is gone.” She noted that once she decided to do God’s will over her own, “That’s when [her] life totally changed.”
Through God, Jeffrey Johnston found freedom from transgender confusion
For two years starting at age nine, Jeffrey was raped by a man who worked for his father. This created confusion in him. His mother also used to tell him that he “should have been a girl and not a boy,” and these statements became a tormenting voice in his head.
When he was a young adult, he was gang-raped by four men he met at a park. Some transsexuals he came across told him, in a similar vein to his mother, that he was “too pretty to be a boy” and encouraged him to transition.
Transition he did. He went into a dark place, getting into prostitution, heavy drinking, and cocaine, eventually experiencing a nervous breakdown. For about twenty years, he worked as a stripper.
At one point, Jeffrey got into a fight with a neighbor, which culminated in him getting injured. Later at the ER, a loving elderly woman approached him and asked him, “Honey, do you know Jesus?”
Jeffrey lied that he did, but the question followed him home. He would hear “Do you know Jesus?” for an entire week, until he finally gave in and told the voice he would “learn about this Jesus.”
At one point, Jeffrey felt God put His hand on his shoulder and then he saw a vision of an overview of his life. God’s voice told him, “This isn’t you. This is what the Devil has done to you,” and he saw the feminization procedures he had done.
At another point, Jeffrey became angry because he wanted to see the change Jesus was supposed to bring in his life. He wanted to be free of the trans confusion, drug addiction, and homosexual lifestyle, and he asked God why he felt the same. His answer came only one day later: God told him, “Behold, all old things have passed away. You’re a new creation.”
Jeffrey now recounts, “And when He said that, I just knew all the old drugs, the lifestyle, the addictions, everything was gone instantly. And so it’s been 14 years now that I’ve been delivered from, you know, that lifestyle.”
Samuel Jordan traded his trans identity for an identity in Christ
When he was a kid, Samuel was enthusiastic about the Christian walk and aspired to become a pastor when he grew up. However, he began to be molested at age eight by a male who wanted him to role-play as a woman in a relationship. Strangely enough, “he started to enjoy and seek out the compliments.”
Samuel developed an affinity for homosexuality. In his early teens, he sought same-sex relationships, despite feeling “guilt and shame” when he went to church. He did not come out to his parents, but his mother discovered his secret when she found his classmate’s sexually charged messages to him. She threatened to not speak to him if he continued like this.
Trying to make right by her, he put the brakes on his sexual dalliances. Unfortunately, his mother passed away from cancer, and his father moved away with a new woman.
Samuel went to college. Lonely and rejected, it was in this period that he turned his back on his Christian walk and embraced homosexuality and transgenderism. Transitioning to “Simone,” he found popularity and acceptance, but old “guilt and shame started to resurface.”
Quitting college, he went to live with a friend of his family. She required that he accompany her to church, and he eventually acquiesced, hoping to find some direction. During worship service, he felt God welcoming him back. Joyfully, he raised his hands, declaring over and over, “I’m free!” His shame and his guilt and “everything the enemy had placed in [him]” miraculously left him.
Samuel felt “blown away” by the love and acceptance God showed him. His heart was changed by God, and he detransitioned.
When telling his testimony, Samuel said, “[God] just said, ‘You just tell me yes and I’m going to show you I’m God enough to fix it; I’m God enough to show you that I can bring you back to my original intent for your life.’ And that’s what He did for me, and it won me over.”
