Jay Peters believes the Rainbow Revival among LGBTQ+ people coming to the Lord is like the Jesus Revolution among hippies in the 1970s. Like hippies, ex-LGBTQ people boldly and emotionally testified they came to Jesus because prayerful Christians stormed heaven on their behalf, Peters said.
One of those women attended her first Freedom March in Dallas last year. A speaker in Chicago on Saturday, Jessica Rose tearfully and courageously shared her powerful testimony of coming out of a deceptive web of confusion about gender and sexuality.
Living in LGBTQ+ pride for 15 years, Rose identified as a bisexual, lesbian and trans man by undergoing surgeries and testosterone injections.

Growing up in a single-parent home with five siblings, a confused Rose took on a masculine identity as both brother and father. Later she married a woman and gained a stepchild, pushing her mother and siblings out of the new family life she shared with her wife. Rose grew a beard and became “a bad dude. Or at least I thought I was by self-identifying,” she said.
Alone and broken in 2019, Rose attempted suicide by swallowing pills while in her parked car. She was taken to a hospital where her stomach was pumped. Landing in a mental institution, Rose received medications for depression, anxiety and psychotic behavior.
Later after improving and landing a job, Rose’s boss told her about Jesus’ love, His death for her and how believing in Him brings salvation. Rose was filled with hope but also believed she could be Christian and trans, maybe even become a pastor.
She continued to learn about forgiveness, grace, love, mercy, dying daily to sin, and walking in the Spirit. Pursuing Jesus, Rose heard Him say the words “surrender control” during a group prayer in 2021.
“From that day, I’ve been off testosterone for three years. I’ve learned I can now breastfeed and carry a baby,” said Rose, who believes she will someday be married.
Miraculously, she reports her breasts grew back after surgery to remove them. “It’s a real miracle. This is all me,” she said.
At times drying her teary eyes, Rose said giving her testimony at Freedom March was intended for encouragement of anybody including parents who think their children are too far gone. “I now stand before you as this woman of God, praising and dancing,” said Rose, who turned 30 during the summer.
