"God not only changes your affections and your heart, but He gives you new affections that you didn't have." -Jackie Hill-Perry

The Washington Times revealed that the rapper's testimony, which says, "anything is possible with God," is reaching multitudes through social media. As a result Hill-Perry is receiving support and praise, but also vicious condemnation.

According to the report, Hill-Perry said she was sexually abused by a family friend at the age of 5. The subsequent "gender confusion" she suffered resulted in her being a full-fledged lesbian by the age of 17.

Then one day, said Hill-Perry, "the Lord spoke to me. He said, 'She [her lesbian partner] will be the death of you.' In that moment, the wages of sin equal death finally clicked."

Speaking on Wade-O Radio, Hill-Perry noted, "I think we've made God very little if we believe that He cannot change people. If He can make a moon, stars and a galaxy that we have yet to fully comprehend, how can He not simply change my desires?"

Hill-Perry reportedly lost her same-sex attraction over the course of the next few years and "gained an attraction" to her future husband and fellow Christian rapper, Preston Perry.

As for what the future holds, the Christian rapper concluded, "The true church of Jesus Christ will stick to the Scriptures."
