WASHINGTON DC—Millennials and Gen-Xers stood together in the 2019 DC Freedom March, unified with a voice that declared freedom is possible through Christ. The message is what so many need to hear but has been so quickly shunned. It lacks popularity but is packed with the power of God.
Many young people are standing unashamed and passionate about their experience of walking out of the lifestyle of homosexuality into a life of freedom in Christ. To quote one attendee, this has been an answer to prayer.
They stood together, each one with their own story of how Christ came into their heart and gave them a brand-new life. These young people are vibrant and energetic. Their enthusiasm is clearly visible as they shared their testimonies of coming out of darkness into the marvelous light of Christ. 1 Peter 2:9 says "
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.”
They spoke boldly and with much assurance that it was only Jesus that kept them and brought them to this point. They did not hesitate to let everyone know that change is possible, hope is tangible and love is available.
While the LGBTQ community has no hesitation in parading its doctrines and agendas before anyone, this Freedom March gave the ex-homosexual a clear voice. They were able to declare openly, right in our nation's capital, that the lifestyle they once embraced was not God's will for their life or anyone else's life. They were able to freely stand up and say that they chose Christ and holiness over all of their sins.
There were no hidden agendas. Everyone was accepted. There were people from all cultures and nationalities. Everyone was important, no matter what titles they held or didn't have.
They spoke for the countless people who were not able to march and could not attend. They spoke for the person struggling with their sexuality. They spoke for the person who is gender disoriented and insecure. They spoke for the cross-dresser and the transgender. They spoke for everyone and anyone who is unsure of themselves and unable to find love and hope. They marched to show that there is hope and there is unconditional love available through our Lord Jesus Christ (Psalms 136:12).
