He Left the Trans Lifestyle After Encountering Jesus | Feat. Diego Arellan

Well, hey, Diego, your story is helping to change so many people's lives all over the world, but it's also incredibly controversial, and I can only imagine how much hate you've experienced, but also so much love.

And I saw your story first by scrolling online, and I.

I was literally bawling my eyes out.

I felt the presence of God so strongly, and I just feel like God is trying to raise you up as a testimony to the nations.

So I just want to jump right in.

I want to give you an opportunity to share, like, how.

How in your life, you know, then what happened, and then there was just such a dramatic encounter that you had with the Father and such a dramatic change in your life.

So can you just kind of help walk us through your story?

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for having me.

It's.

It's just a pleasure to be here, first of all.

And.

Well, yeah, I somehow think a lot of people know now that I was a trans woman for, like, six years of my life, and it's been like seven months that I gave my life to Jesus.

Now it just feels like, yeah, it's.

I know it's been like, just.

It feels like just happened, but for me, it's been like a whole journey, and I've learned a lot, and now I'm just so thankful to the Lord that he has given me a new chance.

I feel like a new creation.

And praise God for that, for sure.

Oh, you know what?

Like, we're only a few seconds in, and the story is so powerful.

So you're seven months in.

And, you know, it's funny because even when you first logged on, like, you're just radiating just the love of Christ.

You're radiating.

Like, you could just.

You could tell people's life after the cross, you know, and you have the joy of the Lord upon you.

And so, like, you know, seven months in, like, so dramatic.

So okay for everybody is like, wait, what?

A trans woman?

So, like, break.

Break it down for us.

Yeah.

So I still can't believe it.

Like, I'm just like, wow.

I couldn't.

When I look at my pictures back when I was trans, I'm like, how did I.

Like, how did I even do that?

Like, what.

What happened with me?

It's like I was numb.

Like, all this time, like, I was.

I felt like demons were inside of me, just doing whatever, you know?

Wow.

And it's just incredible.

But the story started when I was back in Peru.

I live there, I'm from there.

And I've always, always had this confusion of my agenda, my identity.

And I've always had this desire to be a woman since I was a little kid, since I was like five or six.

My.

My house was.

I mean, we are.

We are Christian.

We were Christians back in Peru, and we have a relationship with the Lord, but it was more like a religion.

It was not a relationship.

So that's something that I realize now.

But we always go to church every Sunday.

But we still did our things, you know, like worldly stuff, my mom and my dad.

And then my dad passed away when I was 6.

And then after that, I feel like things started getting, like, worst just because my mom entered in a big depression.

And then I.

And my sister.

My sister and I, we start taking care of each other pretty much.

We were just kids.

And so our house was very broken.

And, you know, when the house is very broken, the devil is like, he's no, he's not wasting time.

You know, he's like, ready to destroy everything.

And so since, like, my dad passed away, I felt, like, this emptiness in my heart.

But I've always had this confusion, even before my dad passed away.

But when my dad passed away, it got stronger.

Like, I started having this, like, ways to just get closer to boys or, like, having these thoughts in my imaginations to be a girl.

And it got worse and worse.

Like, every year, it's like the enemy was attacking me and attacking me and attacking me.

So, yeah, I mean, that's what happened when I was back in Peru for a while, for, like, until high school, until 16, 17.

Wow.

Well, let me just.

Let me just ask you this briefly.

So you.

You all.

So you're saying, like, even some of your earliest memories, were you thinking about wanting to be a girl, wanting to be a woman?

That was even before your father passed away, correct?

Yes.

Yes.

Wow.

My father was very homophobic.

He.

He saw that since I was a kid.

He saw my mannerisms and things like that.

And my mom kind of thought that maybe it was going to go away, but they already knew it since.

Since I was a little kid.

And then my dad was like, no, there's no way, you know, like, I'm going to send him to, like, military.

He's not going to be gay.

Like, I will never allow that.

And that's what my mom told me.

Like, I never heard that before, but that's what my mom told me.

And my mom was more acceptable.

She was like, I'll support him if that's what he wants to do, but I know that it's not the right thing, you know, but I' be there for them.

So.

Yeah, I mean, it was like that since I was a kid.

I feel like now, don't get me wrong, like, I feel like when I was trans, I always thought that I was born that way, you know, that God made me this way of, like, being gay.

But now that I'm Christian, now that I'm a follower of Jesus Christ, I know that it's just the whole life, you know, like, God didn't make it that way.

We just.

We went through stuff.

Sometimes there is, like.

How do you say, curses from, like, our last past generations that we have.

That we haven't broken.

So those things happen, you know?

And I believe that sometimes the devil use.

Uses other people to hope, like, to destroy us, to, you know, like, that we open doors to, like, sexual immorality as, like, a very short age, you know, things like that happen.

Yeah.

And I believe that.

That I went through that when I was a kid, when I was in school.

Actually, my first sexual encounter was when I was in elementary school.

So I knew that it was not right, but I still didn't do anything when that happened, when that moment happened, because I was a kid and it happened with one of my little friends who has the same.

I think he was too old, two years older than me.

So.

We were just playing kind of thing.

But then things got kind of like, too far and he started doing, like, sexual movements, only in the bathroom.

We were by ourselves.

There was nobody in there.

And so I didn't do anything.

I wish I could do something, but I was just too afraid, I guess.

Like, I just.

I wasn't sure what was going on.

Yeah.

But it made me realize now that maybe he was also struggling in his family or where he.

In his household.

You know, I don't know what was going through his mind and why.

What he's.

Why, why.

Why he was doing that.

But I understand now he's the other point of view, so.

Wow.

Yeah.

I mean, that was.

Yeah.

No, that's.

That's so powerful because I actually have a book called Inherit yout Freedom that talks about things that we can.

That can be passed through the bloodline.

And you see that all throughout Scripture.

And there's a lot of people in our generation saying, well, I was born this way.

But the Bible would say, yes, you were.

You were born in iniquity, you were born in sin.

And it's.

It could very well be a generational curse.

And so people will say, well, from my earliest memories, I've Always felt this way.

And it's like, yes, that makes total sense.

That's why the Bible says you must be born again.

Because if you were born into sin, then to be born again is like, you even said you feel so brand new.

Because the Bible declares that when we accept Christ, he says, behold, I make all things new.

The old has passed away, and you're a new creation in Christ.

And so I really, over the years and years, have heard so many stories about, you know, from people saying, like, Pastor Mike, I feel like some of my earliest memories were same sex attractions.

Some of my earliest memories were feeling like, you know, I wanted to be the opposite gender.

But I would say, yeah, I totally.

Because they'll say, well, like, there wasn't even any trauma there.

I hadn't even gone through anything yet that would open a door.

And I say, yeah, but the door was open before you were born.

That's the point.

And so this book that I wrote, Inherit youe Freedom, it takes people through the process of identifying what you inherited in your ancestry.

And, you know, we got good news as we serve the curse breaker.

And Jesus died on the cross to break those curses.

But I think what I love about your story and the way that you're telling it right now, and I just want everybody watching right now to.

To understand, I even believe that this interview is such a good resource for you to share with friends and family members right now.

So the thing is, like, the Enemy, like, knew that.

That there was already a generational curse in Diego's life, and so he knew that the doors had been open in the generations.

So then you hear some of the earliest stories, even in elementary school, are to bring more demonic activity, more sin, and these various different things.

Even though he didn't understand fully what he was doing, the Enemy was trying to basically sabotage his life, even a young.

At a young age.

And so Diego can, you know, can you just kind of keep telling the story and take us on the journey of, like, you go from elementary school and then your father dies and then what happens from there?

Yeah, so after dad.

After having that sexual encounter, I'll say, my dad passed away.

I grew up very confused, very confused.

I started having more sexual desires towards men.

And my confusion, it was in my head, it was like, okay, you know, this will go away.

This will go away.

But it was just getting stronger and stronger.

Now, all this happened while we were going to church.

Like, every Sunday we go.

We went to church and everything.

But I never had a connection, like a deep connection with the Lord, when I was that age.

So until I turned, like, 13, 14, that was the moment where I decided to follow the Lord, to follow Jesus for the very first time.

During that period of time, I.

I pray really hard to the Lord to give me to take away this homosexuality like this, like, you know, this sexual desire towards man and just like, maybe a new creation like in the Bible says.

Right.

And so it helped me, and he helped me, and it did help me, but at the same time, I wasn't truly giving him my world, you know, Like, I was still doing things.

I was still in the world kind of thing.

So I wasn't, like, in the middle.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And, yeah.

So when that happened, I.

I just realized, like, okay, this is not working for me.

God is truly not listening.

I still feel this way, and it's just not going away.

And it was frustrating me so much.

Every day was like, a frustration, and I just wanted to.

To get rid of it, but I couldn't.

And in the school, everybody bullied me, like, just calling me, like, you know, this horrible words that they say to people, like, with homosexuality.

And so I felt so, so depressed about it.

And one of the worst experience I had when I was back in school, it was when I was a mayor, because I turned to be the mayor of my other high school, and we had.

I had to do, like, had to talk in front of all.

Everybody in there.

And so.

And I start, like, doing my reading my script, and everybody started, like, yelling like, that I was gay, that I was.

It was just sort.

It broke my heart because I was just, like, trying to hide it, but at the same time, everybody bullying me.

And I just hear those voices in my head.

You see, nobody loves you.

You see, everybody just hates you.

You should have.

You should have just killed yourself.

And so I.

On that day, I remember, just went running to the bathroom and crying.

Just feeling like I just hated myself.

You know, I never felt that way, but that moment, I just hated myself.

My head was like, you should have were born a woman.

You see, God made a mistake on you, and I felt so bad, and I just feel like God is not going to help me.

And I am in this world where I was born this way now, and I have to accept it, but I don't want to accept it now.

In that time, I was, like, 15, but I never hear about transgender.

Nothing of transitioning your body from.

In my head, it was like that.

Never.

Like, there was no possibility of transitioning.

In Peru, we.

Well, back in that.

Back in those days, they didn't talk about it.

Like it was very, like we were very, we were very close minded.

Yeah.

Now it's a little bit different, but yeah, so that happened and I just, I just felt so empty, so sad.

And I graduated from high school and I had this desire to live by myself, to just like get out of my house.

Like I don't wanna.

I stop going to church.

I was very close to the guy and just you know, like having a relationship with my friendship with my friends and like including like going to houses and preach.

It was beautiful.

Like I just love to be there and I had this peace and love.

But these thoughts, the.

These thoughts were not stopping.

They were getting stronger and stronger.

You know, like a spiritual warfare.

Yeah.

And I wasn't ready.

I was in my head.

It was like I am just a kid, you know, Like I just want, I want to live my life.

I want to live like I just want to drink.

I just want to do all these things that are.

That I can do if I'm in the.

And with God.

I can do all those things if I'm with God.

So it was constantly fighting with my flesh and with those demonic attacks and my.

As I said, my house was not the best place to.

That I received the help from it, you know.

Yeah.

And so my mom and my mom, she wanted us to move us here into USA and so she started working all the paperwork to move to, to move here to usa.

And when we had everything done, we travel all the way here and we, my sister, my sister and I, we started living by ourselves.

My mom went back to Peru and that was the first time I just lived.

I was like 17.

So it was like just me and my sister and they're like, I can do whatever now, you know.

So I start working, making my own money and little by little, you know, like I have.

I.

Well before I even go that far from, you know, transitioning.

I remember that when I moved here I was like, I'm going to, I'm going to start all over here.

I don't want nobody to notice like that I'm gay or about my past life.

I don't want to do.

I don't want to be bullied again.

So I'm going to try to be as masculine as possible.

Of course it didn't last that long because that's not the way I am.

I'm not rough.

I'm not like, you know, like Melly, you know.

And so everybody noticed it.

I seriously like, they bully me a lot at work, so.

Wow.

I would do.

I was tired of it.

It was exhausted, and the thoughts were still there.

So it was constantly struggle.

But this time I wasn't with God.

And so there was nothing that was stopping me now, like, so during that time, I remember just having my job.

There was these people who also live that homosexual life, and they introduced me to it.

They introduced me to that world.

I was always very shy.

But when they start talking about all those things that they do and places that they go, like gay clubs and things like that, I just hear all about it and now just give me this excitement.

But at the same time, I was like, I'm not ready for it.

Like, I'm just like, no, my mom will kill me, you know, kind of thing.

So little by little, they start like.

Like, just wanted me to go to join them, and, you know, like.

And so during that time, I realized, okay, you know what?

I'm gonna try it.

I'm gonna go with them.

I'm gonna go party with them.

So I did.

And.

And that moment, I just felt like, okay, you know what?

This is what I want to do.

This is who I.

This is who I am.

Yeah, because they gave me the idea of, like, you know, you're in America.

You can be whoever you want to be.

Nobody cares about it.

You're not in Peru anymore.

So when I hear that, I was just like, okay, you know what?

Let's do it.

And so little by little, I start going parties and, like, drinking, smoking, and I have never done that in Peru.

My mom wasn't here then.

She.

When.

When she kind of notice it that I was, you know, like, more separated.

She came here to see us, and she moved here.

And so things were different now because when she moved here, I was dressing already as a woman.

Now, since I was a kid, I always.

As I told you, I've always wanted to be a woman.

So when I was.

When I turned gay, I was like, this is not for me.

I want to be a woman.

Like, this is.

That's who I want to be.

Like, no, that's what I want to.

Like, that's my goal.

So when my mom moved with us, she's.

She.

She stayed in my room, and she.

She looked like she found all my stuff.

She found my heels, my wig, my dresses that I hide.

And her heart broke, you know, like, it was just, like, heartbroken, you know?

And I.

I feel so bad that I did that to my mom.

But when I went back when I.

When I was.

That happened when I was at work.

So when I Went back to my house.

She was very upset, and I could see that she was crying a lot.

So she talked to me.

She was like, what happened?

Why are you doing.

What are you doing with your life?

I didn't bring you here to do all those things.

And so we start arguing with each other.

And at the end, I was just, you know, like, telling her, like, no, I'm sorry, but this is my life, and I'm gonna do whatever I want to do.

And if you agree with it, great.

If you don't, then I'm not.

I'm not gonna change my perspective.

This is what I want to do.

So, yeah, it was very.

It was really sad.

She cried a lot, like, for, like, months, because she felt like her song, like, because the moment that I told her that, I was already thinking about it, transitioning, you know, like, it was still a thought, but it was kind of far, but it's still in there.

And then.

So she was heartbroken from it.

And after that, I realized that you can transition.

And it started, like, in Instagram and TikTok start coming.

All those, like, things about, like, transitioning.

You should transition before you are 18 so you can look as.

As feminine as possible before you finish your puberty.

So, like, wow.

So real quick.

So that.

So okay.

Because I want to.

There's.

There's so much to this, and you're helping so many people right now.

So let me go back real quick.

So there was a time when you were in Peru where you were attending church every week, and you were crying out to God saying, God, please change my desires.

Change me.

But it wasn't happening, and you were getting more and more frustrated.

Then you go to the United States and you don't.

You know, your.

Your dad has passed away, your mom's not living with you.

You're like, I'm in the United States.

I can be whoever I want to be.

And you start to basically go get deeper and deeper into.

Into that community.

And one of the parts of your story I wanted to highlight is it's almost like this demonic evangelism, because the people that you worked with were, like, recruiting you to it.

Like, hey, we're going to show you the clubs.

We're going to show you our lifestyle.

And I find it interesting because there's so many Christians who go to work who will not share their faith, but then there are people who are demonically discipling people or demonically evangelizing them.

And it's like, it's crazy to me because, like, while you were Telling your story.

I wanted to scream because I'm like, what if there were Christians on the job who saw you and were like, diego, I want to tell you about Jesus.

I want, like, diego, come to church with me.

Meet my friends.

We read the Bible together.

And it's like there's so many Christians that don't understand that while they're being silent, the world is being active, the world's being loud.

And I was like, that's why I do this YouTube channel.

That's why I broadcast.

We are a global voice of the gospel to all people.

And I'm like, man.

So then all of a sudden, you go deeper, deeper into the lifestyle.

You're drinking, you're smoking, which side note.

And everybody watching right now, that is also pharmakia, which is demonic.

So, like, when you start drinking, there's a reason why they call hard alcohol spirits.

And I'm.

Because it's connected to demonic spirits.

People get out of their right mind.

They shut down their frontal lobe.

Biologically, they start making decisions they would never make sober.

And then as you mentioned, smoking as well, which is connected to the demonic realm.

So it's like you kept going deeper and deeper into that.

And then all of a sudden, your mom finally moves to the States.

She finds your heels, she starts fighting all of the remnants of your life.

It's breaking her heart.

And then that brings you now to this point.

So, because there's.

Your story is so compelling.

And this is where I wanted to, like, make sure we pause on this.

So you're now discovering through Instagram, through TikTok.

So social media is contribut to this decision.

And I think the thing that's, like, interesting is like, you had desires from your earliest memories.

The devil brings people and orchestrates situations.

Like in elementary school, you keep going on this journey and then you go to the job.

The enemy's bringing more people, connecting you in.

But then you said that.

And I just want to stop on this because this might be one of the biggest moments of this broadcast that through social media.

You were hearing messages that you should transition before you're 18 to be as feminine as possible because you don't want to fully go through puberty.

And these are messages that kids would not hear if they were not on social media.

And so there's a major component of this to.

Of the Internet, what kids are watching.

I think for every parent right now, you have to deal with generational curses because there's.

You could be the best parent where no phones, no iPads, no TV, lock your kid away.

But they could be born into iniquity, born into sin, and have generational curses.

So you have to deal with that.

And then the other side of it is you also have to deal with the fact that your kids are hearing messages on the Internet that they would not conceive on their own, and the enemy's lying to them.

And so, Diego, could you kind of like, educate everybody watching right now on what were the types of things you were seeing through social media?

What were you learning?

Because that.

That in and of itself blew my mind to know that the enemy is using social media.

There's even.

People are like, oh, you're a pastor.

Why are you on YouTube?

Why do you have a million subscribers?

And it's like this.

This is why.

Because we need this information.

Just like, if the devil's going to use it, then Diego's going to use it for the kingdom.

Mike Signorelli is going to use it for the kingdom.

So could you help us understand, like, what are the kinds of messages that parents.

Kids are experiencing online?

Yes.

Well, back in those days, I.

There is well for you page right.

Like, where you.

They show you things that are.

That you are attracted to, like whatever you are.

Yeah.

That you put lights on it.

So it will come a lot of us.

So when it's about, like, changing your gender, things like that are so popular right now.

Like, it's just like, it's a trend.

It looks like it now.

And the way they're pushing it too much into kids into, like everywhere now.

But yes, it was like this constant, like famous people who transition in.

Like, they look like women, like, completely like women.

Like, and they were saying like all the time.

Like, you got to start earlier.

Like, they just giving advice, you know, like, and in all their content, they put.

And so here listening, like, you know, like when you scroll over, you just listening to all that constantly every day.

It's not like something that just happened for, like, days or.

No, it just.

It's.

They put it there all the time, like monthly, you know, like, you as.

As you keep scrolling, the more you see, the more convince you to do it.

Yeah.

So I started watching all those things and the way that.

That the LGBTQ community was like, I don't know.

I guess the country was already supporting a lot of it now.

So it's.

It was.

It start to look like, okay, you know, they're accepting us.

They're like, people are accepting and it's okay.

Now they're putting it like it's normal and so I think that's one of the problems, that it's.

They're pushing it too much, that now even if someone is struggling a little bit, they're going to think that that's the way to go and they will go for it because the country is supporting it so much thinking that that's the right way.

But at the end of the day, it's not.

It will just bring you like so much destruction in your life.

I wish someone could have told me like, or seen like, like a testimony like me before I transition, saying, like, don't do this, you know, like, you're going to regret it because this is, this will.

This what will happen.

Like your gender, you will start having gender dysphoria.

You will start having some much depression and anxiety or you.

And you're never going to feel complete because you're not born that way.

And the only thing you're going to have is just worldly happiness.

But it, it lasts so little.

It lasts so little.

It's just like, it's not worth it.

And it's so much pain that you have to go through to get to where you want to be.

And that's something that I wish I could have hear earlier.

But all I hear was the positive, positive things like, oh, you're going to be, you know, you're truly going to be who you are now.

And you, you know, like all these things of as you always desire since you were a kid and you can be and like, there's these surgeries that will help you, there's this hormones that will help your body make, make it turning you to a beautiful woman.

And so it convinced me so much that, okay, you know what?

I think I can do it.

Because one of the things that scared me the most when I was a man wanting to transition was like, I don't want to look like a man.

You know, I just want to look like completely woman.

So with hormones, with surgeries, with all those things, you will finally be able to be a woman.

Like a completely woman.

And so, and so I was like, okay, you know what?

I stopped thinking about it.

But, but the moment that I choose that the decision was when I hear that, that I told you that you have to do it as earlier as possible before you, before you even turn 20, because your body hasn't even finished, like all the puberty hasn't finished yet, so you have to go earlier, like early at ARM 16.

So of course I was like, I was what, 18 by then?

And I was like, my head was like, you need to do it now.

You need to go.

You need to do it now, now, now, now, now.

You're wasting time.

You're wasting time.

And so those thoughts were like, constantly, constantly, constantly, like saying like, you, you're wasting your time.

You're going to look more manly.

You're not going to be able to look as woman as possible.

So.

Wow.

I remember sharing that to my, to my mom.

And when I told her, like, I'm thinking of transitioning again, it brought her heart again, even more, because this time she felt like her song was about to die.

You know, like, like the son that he, that she raised, it's.

It's pretty much gone.

Wow.

And so I didn't care at that time, and I felt so bad about it, but of course, I was so, so excited for all what the world was saying into my ear and saying, like, you're gonna be like, beautiful and all this.

You're gonna be so happy.

So all that I care was that.

And I didn't care about my family at that moment.

So I took the decision.

Yes, I took the decision.

And you know what?

I, like, bothers me a little bit, Mike.

It's just like when I went to that clinic to get everything, you know, like, because you have to pass through, through like first a psychologist, and there's a.

Steps to go to get your hormones.

And so I thought it was going to be harder, but it was so easy to take hormones.

So easy to have to have to have them on your hand.

Wow.

And now they put it in a bit.

They put it.

When I went to the website and I realized you have to have these and then two letters from two different psychologists and then more sort of things for us to be able to give you hormones.

And when I went through that clinic, I don't, I don't know, it's just like, I believe that that's not truly a psychologist because, well, she was a trans woman too, as well.

Yes.

So the person that was supposed to help you make an objective decision, a biological, scientific decision, was also a trans woman.

Yeah.

So that's total bias.

Okay, so, but.

And then you said it was just much easier than you thought.

Exactly.

It was.

So it's easy.

So she was very like, well, I, of course I start sharing my.

How I felt and everything.

And she was like, yep.

After I finished telling her my story, she was like, yep, you are a trans woman.

We will start giving you the prescription as soon as possible.

And I was very.

A little surprised because I was, I thought that I was, I was, I thought that I was going to go through another psychologist and make sure, you know, that I was doing the right decision.

But no, she.

She just did it.

And, and I had my, my prescription in like two days.

Wow.

And yes.

And I record my first video of me taking my hormones.

And I was just so excited because my friends, by.

My friends, by the time were telling me that you're taking the best decision.

You're going to be like, truly who you're who you want to be now.

And only social media was like, yes, do it.

Like, you're like all those beautiful girls that look that are trans woman, you know, And I was like, wow, I want to be like them.

You know, I want to be like them.

And then my psychologist confirming that I.

That I was a trans woman helped me so much too.

So it was like, like in every single part they contribute, you know, like, the devil is just so wise and then he will use, like, everybody around you, around your circle to make it take a bad decision, to make it look like it's the best decision of your life.

Wow.

And so there wasn't one person that said, diego, you shouldn't do this.

No, no, just my mom.

But when you're in the world, you.

The listing, the less.

Yeah, I don't know.

When you're in that world, you don't listen to your parents.

This is the least thing you do when you're at least around that age.

When I was like just turning 18.

Yeah.

And plus I was just listening to my friends and to the world and to the social media.

And then of course, a psychologist, you know, like, you will trust the psychologist because she, she studied for.

Right.

Yeah.

So I was like, okay, wild.

So you started taking hormones, you started the transitioning process.

And the video that I saw, I mean, you, you fully went into this and, you know, like, I think even if I were, were to see you in public, I.

I would just assume that you were a biological female because, you know, you had went all the way to that extent.

And so you went deeper and deeper into that lifestyle and, and what happened?

Yes, well, I mean, I went through that point.

Yes, I posted videos and a lot of people think that, oh, that is not even you.

Like, you're just like putting on a random girl.

And it just makes me laugh because I'm just like, what?

This is like, so funny.

But when I was looking like that, believe it or not, I was struggling so much with my appearance because even though I look attractive, that I was that I look at the mirror.

And I was like, oh, I'm very pretty, you know, Like, I finally achieved what I want to achieve.

And I did surgeries.

Like, I got my breast augmentation.

I did, like.

Well, I.

Well, I did all consummates.

I forgot even the word.

Yeah.

Yeah, well, I'd be my face, too, but.

Wow.

So.

Well, you brought it up, because I want to make sure that I'm being respectful.

But, like, so you.

What's that?

His Botox.

I did.

Oh, yeah, yeah, Botox.

So, But.

But what I'm saying is, like, you.

So you.

But you did breast augmentation surgery.

Because I thought I saw that in the video as well.

Yes, I did.

I did.

I got it.

I got a lot of surgeries.

Well, I got a skinny BBL as well, to make my shape as a woman.

And the more I did surgeries, it's just like the.

The.

I needed more.

Like, I just.

I just wanted more.

It was like another addiction in my life.

Wow.

So.

Because in my head, it was like, oh, well, now you're done.

You know, like, yes, you have a body now, but, like, what about your.

Your Adam's apple?

What about your voice?

Or what about, you know, like, your nose?

And so every single time, those thoughts were, like, attacking something different.

Something different constantly.

And I hated myself.

Even though I looked beautiful on the outside, I just hated myself in the inside because I was like, I will never be a woman.

The more far I go, I can look as woman as possible, but I'm still a man.

And I just felt so depressed about it, and I cried every.

Like, every night.

I'm not even lying to you.

Like, every night, it was constantly crying in my bed because I just felt so empty, you know?

So.

So you.

You had so, like.

So I just want to make sure I'm, like, understanding, because, by the way.

And guys, in the comments section, I want to hear your thoughts.

Like, Diego, your vulnerability is so special, and it's helping so many people.

Your willingness to be so open.

It's like there's so many people that don't get to hear these conversations.

That's why I think this channel is so important.

Important.

But so.

So you, like, what was happening was one surgery, then another surgery, then another surgery, and it was getting worse, not better, because you were being almost, like, increasingly aware that, hey, no matter how many of these surgeries I do, at the end of the day, I'm still going to be a man.

And it just probably made you feel like it's never going to be enough.

And I think that that's the way sin operates.

It's like people who struggle with alcohol addiction.

It's like what happens is they have to keep drinking more and more and more, and they do.

Same thing with opiate addiction.

It's like they still have to keep doing more and more and more, and they go lower and lower.

And it just felt like what you were explaining to me was so dark because you don't see the viral post on social media of someone being like, hey, I just got my 15th surgery and I cry myself to sleep every night.

And I hate myself and things, because what they're presenting to the world is like.

Is almost the opposite of what's happening in reality.

And that's why I think that the Bible says that Satan comes as an angel of light.

So it's like, what's happening is social media influencers, you know, they've got the right camera angles.

Look at my life.

I'm partying.

But then what you're saying, and I got chills all over me, is like, behind the scenes, there's no joy, there's no peace.

There's.

You know, and what's crazy is the one thing about this, this conversation we're having, because it's.

It's not an interview.

Probably people in the com comments, they're always like, you know, it's a conversation, not an interview.

Like, we're talking is.

Is the thing about this thing that is so important to me is, like, when you accept Christ, you go through a process called sanctification.

And what that means is, like, he worked.

The Holy Spirit works on things one at a time, and he convicts you of sin.

And.

But then what happens is the Bible says, therefore, there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.

So you feel conviction, but you don't feel condemnation.

And you're.

And then you get incrementally better.

And the Holy Spirit is affirming you, and the Holy Spirit is saying, I'm proud of you, and you feel the love of God.

And, you know, sometimes there's even a godly sorrow that works itself unto repentance, but that's sanctification.

And it was almost like when you were talking.

It's like in the trans community, there's this, like, demonic sanctification as well, where it's like, hey, I'm gonna take you on a journey of change as well.

But you're gonna.

You're not gonna be convicted.

You're gonna be condemned.

And every single time you do another surgery, the more you transform, the more Condemned, you're gonna feel.

And it's so crazy because it's like the Bible says, whom the son sets free is free indeed.

And then we get saved and then we get sanctified.

But then the devil's like, no, you're.

I'm going to transform you, but you're going to actually get more condemned each time.

You're going to feel worse every single time.

And I think, like, this is probably one of the most important videos that I've ever done because I feel like no one is ever as vulnerable as you're being.

And it was so crazy.

Like, I don't know if we even said this yet, but when I saw your post, I didn't.

I DM you.

I think it was like I DM'd you on TikTok or something.

Yeah.

Yes, you did.

Yeah.

And what I think is so cool about that is like, your for you page.

The.

The devil used your for you page to show you his agenda for you, his plans for you.

And then what's crazy is like, God used the for you page to show me your video and to connect me and you.

So it's like, I think this to me has, like, is.

Is actually getting me so excited because I'm like, man, we are going to set the captives free this broadcast, Diego.

I'm telling you, we're going to read the comments and we're going to see hundreds of people getting free.

I believe that people are going to come up to you and be like, diego, when I saw your story on YouTube, you know, I decided to, like, de transition.

I decided to accept Christ.

So.

So, okay, so you're going deeper and deeper in this journey.

I want to kick it back to you.

And.

And then what.

What happened?

Like, how did you encounter Christ?

Like, how do you go from that to then.

From darkness to light.

Yes.

Oh, that's the most important part.

Like, the way I met Jesus.

Wow.

He.

It's.

I just like, even thinking about it right now, just give me chills, you know, because when I met him, well, I'm.

As I told you, I grew up in a Christian home, but my relationship with him wasn't that strong.

Yeah.

But all the.

When I was in Miami, I started living in Miami.

That was the moment where I started having deeper depression because I started having money.

Like, I make so much money because I met.

Well, sometimes it's hard to, like, share those things.

But at the end of the day, I'm not like, hey, I'm no longer that person.

Come on.

But I had a Sugar daddy in Miami.

Yeah.

And so when I met him, he gave me everything I wanted, you know, and so he gave me a good salary every week.

And he gave me his credit cards, debit cards, to spend money as much as I can.

And so I had a lot of money when I was in.

Back in Miami.

And even though I.

I accomplished many things like that, I wanted it since I was a kid.

I felt empty as I was telling you.

I felt like just this emptiness in my heart.

And I hated it so much because I was like, I just don't know what to fill it anymore.

Fill it up anymore.

I was in two relationships for, like, a long period of time, and not even them could fill me up.

So when I broke up of my.

Of my last relationship, I moved to Miami.

I met this old man who paid for everything, who, you know, like, I was living a very comfortable life.

Then my sister, actually, she called me because she lives in Jacksonville and I was living in Miami.

So she starts sharing me her story about how she gave her life to Jesus.

And I.

When I, when, when she called me, it's just, you know, it's funny because God works in mysterious ways.

I know that for sure.

And I'm starting to realize that every day.

I was.

When she started, when she started telling me her story, I was actually in Virginia with my friends, my best friends, and we were actually doing a drug.

Well, mushrooms.

So if you like hallinization.

Yep, yep.

All day.

Yeah.

And so that night I had an incredible.

Like, it was really bad.

I had a really horrible encounter with the devil.

I see demons around me, and I had this horrible anxiety and depression.

It was really bad, really bad experience I had with that drug.

And the next day, my sister calling me, telling me all her story about Jesus.

When I hear her, the first thing that came to my mind was, you know, like, the peace I had with the Lord when I was in Peru.

Yeah.

I might not have the biggest relationship with him by the time, but it was that the only moment I felt peace in my heart, you know?

Yeah.

And so I finished.

I listened to all her story, and after that, right away I was like, okay, good for you.

But I wanted to hang up on her.

Like, I just didn't want to hear more about it because I knew deep down that what I was doing was wrong.

And I knew that wasn't okay with the life I chose.

And so I hang out on her.

And my best friend was there by the time, so she was like.

We started looking at each other and I started laughing.

And I was like, imagine if I gave my life to Jesus and I go back to be a man.

And we started laughing so hard because of course, you know, like, not even my.

Yeah, it was just a thought.

It was just like.

Like something, you know, like to say it's fine or funny, you know, but then I had to go back to Miami.

So that same day, and I pack everything.

And when I was in the.

In the plane, I couldn't even listen to my music, to my regular music, because I was listening to reggaeton and everything like that.

So I couldn't even put that song, those songs, because I felt so dirty already.

Wow.

Like, the horrible experience and encounter I had, like, last night with that, with.

With the devil, it was horrible.

So I was like.

I had one song, a Christian song in my playlist.

So I played it, and it was back when I was in high school, and I just.

I felt so much in peace.

And I even cry a little bit.

I was just like, wow, like, I haven't feel this in so long.

And after that, I, of course, arrived to Miami and.

And I was back in my lifestyle, but my thoughts were, like, still there, you know, like, what about if you give your life to Jesus?

What about if you accept Jesus in your heart?

That's why I feel like it's really important to share your testimony.

You know, my sister shared it to me, and she planted a seed on me, you know, So I feel like that's the reason why I just love sharing my testimony, because I know that maybe like 10 of the night in the room are not listening, but one of them are, and that's already a soul in there, and that's really important for the Lord.

So.

Wow.

When I.

Well, they pass, they pass.

And I call my mom and I.

I told her about it, and what about if I would, you know, like, give my life to Jesus?

And she's.

She was so happy.

She was like, wow.

Yes, please.

Like, God will, you know, like, heal you.

He will protect you and all the stars.

But she was not pushing me, you know, to the idea.

And that's something that I love to say to the parents, like, if they have sons or daughters who are transitioning and things like that, that when you have.

Like when you have the opportunity, you don't push the idea of, you know, like, give your life to Jesus.

It's important for.

For parents to pray for their sons and daughters.

That's really important.

My mom never stopped praying.

She prayed day to the Lord, but she knew deep down that her son was Going to come back so she never lose hope on it.

And I feel like that's really important.

And second of all, it's just love.

Love is really important.

Listen to them.

Even though you don't understand what they're struggling with, listen to them and don't judge, because a lot of that messages I received is like, I just.

I just can.

I just can do it with him.

And I.

He hates me every time I tell him about it.

Like, that what he's doing is wrong.

I mean, I'm sure that he already knows that what he's doing is wrong.

We know.

We.

I knew that what I was doing was wrong, but I just wanted to hear, like, the love of my parents.

You know, I wanted to feel the love of my parents.

So that helped me a lot to stay connected with my mom during those times.

But that's why it's really important.

And trust the Lord, because it's not in.

In your time, not my time, it's in God's timing.

And when God calls you, nobody can stop that.

Come on.

Yeah.

After telling my mom that yes, she didn't push me much of the idea.

She was like, well, it's.

If.

If you think God is calling you, I think you have to listen.

And so after that, I.

I went to visit her.

So I went to.

She lived in Wisconsin, so I went to visit her.

I spent time with her, and she.

She was there helping me.

And then I went back to my friends.

So, like, I was listening, but at the same time, I was in my world, drinking, smoking.

But she never still.

She didn't lose hope.

So she was like, okay, this will happen.

You know, this will happen.

I know that for sure.

And so when I went back to Miami again, I couldn't stay there anymore.

I knew that if I was going to give my life to Jesus, I couldn't be with, you know, with this man.

And I had to go to be.

And I have to be with my family.

Yeah.

So I went all the way to Jacksonville.

Well, before I even went to my Jacksonville, I had these two big deals.

One was from the devil and one was from God.

Why I say that?

Because during my whole time that I was living in Miami, I was applying to be a model.

And no agencies call me, like, it was like, takes forever.

It took forever.

But the moment that my sister started telling me, like, about her testimony and like, maybe you should come live with that.

Maybe you should leave that life for NSAI and you can, you know, be with us.

It's okay.

And I started Thinking about it, and suddenly I received this call telling me, like, yeah, we would like you to be with us, like, work with our agency and hire you.

And I was so excited because if I.

If I.

If I accepted that I had to live in.

In Miami, I couldn't leave it.

So I had this option of staying there and be the model I always wanted to be, or go to Jacksonville with my sister and give my life to Jesus.

Because I knew that if I was going there, it was because I want to go back to church and I want to give my life to Jesus.

That was the reason.

So I had these big things doing these two big things in my life, and that I had to choose.

And I choose God.

I choose him.

I choose the Lord.

I was so tired already.

Of what?

I was struggling so much.

I knew that even if I become the biggest model, I still was going to feel empty.

I mean, that was not going to change.

So then I went to Jacksonville.

I met my.

Well, I arrived with my sister, and we spent time with her family.

And then she invited me to go to the church.

To her church.

And so the first day I went to her church, I was still trans.

I still, you know, like, very feminine.

And I remember my.

My mindset was like, I will go, and I want to feel the.

The Holy Spirit.

I want to feel him, and that's it, you know, like, and if I.

If I see somebody that is, like, misgendering me or, like, looking me weird or things like that, I'll just not go anymore because I don't want to feel judged.

Wow.

So I went with that mindset.

That's why I think it's also important when you see someone of the transgender community or the LGBTQ community, treat them like home, Treat them like family.

Treat them like, if it's your son or daughter, come on, you know, you want them to feel, like, welcome, not judged.

Yeah.

So good.

I arrived at that church, and I felt so welcomed.

It felt like a family.

They even gave me a compliment of my outfit, and so they were so friendly.

So after.

After hearing the preach, I suddenly couldn't felt anything.

It was, like, very empty.

Like, I just felt like I was talking to the wall, to be honest.

But I.

I tried again.

I went by the next Wednesday, the next Sunday, and I.

I still didn't feel him.

But during the week was when I had this encounter.

My sister, actually, she was praying in her room in tongues.

She has this beautiful connection with the Holy Spirit, like, very strong.

And she called me, and I was in the Living room.

So I went to see her, and I see her just crying so bad and like, very like, like shaking and with her eyes closed.

And she's like, God has a message for you.

And I'm.

And I was like, are you okay?

Do you want me to call the.

The ambulance or something?

Because I've never seen her like that.

So she's like, just come here.

And so she started praying with me.

We start praying.

And she said to me, God has a message for you.

And she started telling me that he never abandoned you, even though when you were in your lowest, he never abandoned you, Even though when you were a kid and you went through all that and you felt so lonely and you wanted attention from your parents, but they couldn't give you.

He was there for you.

And I started crying so bad because when she said that, it instantly, immediately had this memories when I was a kid that I deleted.

I couldn't remember those, but I remember and I see me there, Like, I saw me there crying, just like, wanting to have my mom.

Like, I wanted to be with her, but she was so much in her world, like, so depressed.

And so I cried.

I was crying so bad in that moment, and it felt.

It made me feel so, so sad to see me like that as a kid again.

And then she was like, God has a big purpose for you.

He wants to use your testimony to share to nations.

You're going to be sharing these two nations.

You're gonna have a wife one day.

You're gonna have kids.

Come on.

A beautiful house.

All what the devil offered you.

He is going to give you more than that.

And you're gonna love it.

And when I hear that now, this is like, this was the first time I, like, I ever thought about, like, kids, a wife, like, what?

But I just, like, it just made me happy, you know?

Even though, like, just like, even just thinking about it was already making me.

Wow.

Like, that would be crazy.

Wow.

It's like you got another vision, you know, And I think that that's so important because it's like the devil was giving you vision your whole life, even through social media.

Like, see yourself like a woman.

See yourself like this.

And then it was like prophecy was God's way of giving you the true vision.

And he used your sister to prophesy.

And it was like it was breaking down strongholds in your mind.

And all of those lies of the enemy, it was probably breaking those down to be like, no, this is the picture of who you can be.

That's so powerful.

Yeah, it's way.

It was way better, you know?

But yeah, like, definitely.

And after that, I mean, yes, I hear it, I.

I felt it.

But at the same time, it was like I still didn't have that connection.

My sister was the one who had a connection with the Holy Spirit.

And I wanted to have that, but I just didn't.

And after that, we went to this game with my nephew, was playing soccer, so we went to see them and I went to the park with my dog.

And while I was walking my dog, I just look at the skies, you know, I was wearing this short dress still with my makeup on.

And I look at the sky and I'm just like, if you truly want.

Like, if you truly exist, if you are.

If you're here, if you.

If you truly can heal anybody, please help me be.

Like, give me any life.

Like, I want to feel you.

Make me feel you.

Please.

Like, I don't know.

I try to he.

I try to feel my heart with so many things, but none of those things work.

And I'm so tired.

I'm very tired.

And there at that moment, I just had this.

I don't know, like.

I don't know how to explain it.

Like, I had these goosebumps all over.

I had this electricity all over my body.

And I knew it was God.

Like, oh, I knew it was God, definitely.

And it.

If my.

My eyes were closed during all the.

All the time.

And I had this bright light, it was brighter than the.

The sun.

And I just felt peace in my heart and so much like.

I don't know, like calm.

And when I opened my eyes, I took my sunglasses off and I saw all, like.

It was like he like, opened my eyes, you know, wow.

Like the tails fell from my eyes.

So I started analyzing everything and I felt.

And I've never felt this way, but I felt so ridiculous.

Like, I felt like I was wearing a costume, seeing my friends augmentation, seeing my wearing a girl, a woman's dress.

And I just felt so embarrassed.

Like, it was like Adams and Eve, you know, like when they leave the eating and now they're like when they eat the apple and they feel like, you know, like they're naked.

So.

So it was like.

It was like an instant feeling of like, I'm in a costume.

What have.

What have I done?

Exactly.

I felt so embarrassed.

I wanted to be at home already.

Like, I just didn't want to be outside anymore.

Can I run to my sister?

Well, and I don't want to.

I don't want to cut you Off.

But, like, so you.

Because you said something so powerful, it was like Adam and Eve, and you suddenly became aware of, like, I'm naked, you know, like, I.

I need a covering.

Well, okay, keep going.

Keep going.

This is so powerful.

Exactly.

So I run with my sister to my sister, and I told her everything.

And she's like, you felt God?

That's.

That's God.

Yeah.

I cried so much.

I cried so much.

I was like.

I don't know.

What was that?

Like, I truly didn't know.

It was that.

That was the first time I felt that way.

And in that same moment, I just hear this voice well inside of me telling me like, you're no longer, you know, living that life anymore.

You are a new connection.

You are my song now.

Things are gonna get better now.

And I just.

I felt, like, so touched.

So I went.

We went back home.

I didn't go out of the house for, like, three days.

Like, I stayed here.

If you would know me by then, I was always wearing my makeup every day, you know, getting ready for my day every single day.

But those three days, it was like I could not.

I could not even see those clothes, like, those clothes anymore because it was like, I can do that.

You know, I just felt God.

Like, I don't want to go back to that world.

Yeah.

So, like, oh, my sister and I.

Well, she started teaching me, you know, how to read my Bible, how to do a journal, how to get closer to God.

We start worshiping God and.

And things like that to get closer to God.

You.

And that's really, really important.

When you give your life to Jesus, you need people to help you grow.

Because, yes, the first few days are the strongest ones, because that's when the devil wants to attack the most.

He knows now that you are aware of what he was doing, and now he's going to try to, like, take you back.

And so during those three days, I wanted to just, like, get rid of everything.

I wanted to get my breast.

I wanted to come in here.

I wanted to dress up as a man.

So, of course, it still was.

The thoughts were attacking me were like, no, you can't do that.

No, you can't.

You can't.

Like, no man will see you now.

Like, you will not.

Like, nobody will compliment you anymore.

That you will not have the attention of men or anybody.

Attention.

Like, nobody's going to notice you.

And I.

And it was, like, constantly fighting.

Like, I know I don't want to do it.

Yes, I want to do it.

No, I want to do it.

Yes, I want to do it.

And so after the third day, I.

I told my sister, let's go buy some clothes.

And she was like, what?

Because she thought that it was going to take me time.

She thought that it was going to be, you know, like, step by step.

But when I just felt God, like, it was just like, I need to, like, do it now.

It's.

It's now.

So we went to the.

Like, to shopping, and I got all these men's clothes, and when I wore it, I was like, wow.

Like, I haven't seen you for almost six years.

Wow.

And I cried again because I was like, I haven't dressed as a man for six years.

I was like, wow, who am I?

And after that, I cut my hair.

Cutting my hair was one of the probably strongest things for me because my hair was my.

My.

My symbol, you know, like my all my journey, pretty much, because it takes forever to grow, and I always wanted long hair.

So when she cut it, it was a very strong thing for me to do.

But I knew that when she.

When, after she cut it, I was like, I'm not going back.

There's no.

There's no going back now.

And after that.

That night.

That night was the.

The first night I had this encounter.

A demonic encounter, Demonic attack.

And it was not only like, my thoughts now, but I could see them.

So what I'm saying, what I'm trying to say here is like, when after reading our Bibles, I come in here, we celebrate, we pray to the Lord, and we went.

I went back, I went to my bed, to my room, and I started praying.

I sat like, I've been on my knees, I prayed.

I was very new on it, but I still wanted to try.

So I started praying.

And while I pray, I just like to turn off lights.

Like, I just want it to be dark because I don't want to be distracted by anything.

So I would bend my knees and I started praying.

And I had this vision of me, like, literally me sitting down there, and I seen all my whole room, like, clearly.

And I see this huge demon in front of me.

Like, he was laying down in my bed.

And with this red.

There's two of them, and this other one was behind me, grabbing my hands while I was praying.

And they were huge.

There were.

They were dark.

They were so, like, it just felt so heavy.

The environment.

Yeah.

And when I.

When I started seeing that, I just got so scared.

So I finished my prayer because I was very new and.

And I finished my prayer and I went to my Bed.

And my dog, who was with me, she start, like, barking.

And like, you know, like, when they see something.

Yeah.

I don't know.

And so I.

It was like a confirmation that there was something in there.

Yeah.

And the environment started getting super heavy.

Super heavy.

So I was like, well, I need to get out.

Like, I couldn't even sleep.

I was so scared because that was the first time I felt this way.

Well, I felt that back in Peru before, when I was Christian, too.

So this was my second time, pretty much.

Yeah.

And I was so scared, and I ran to my sisters because I couldn't sleep.

And I told her if I could sleep with her.

She was like, yeah, sure.

Yeah.

And so I told by.

Well, the Holy Spirit was telling me, like, to share it, what I just saw.

So I did it.

And I told her, like, hey, is it normal for you when you pray?

You see all those things?

And she's like, no, and that's not normal.

And so we both start praying in the bed.

And after praying, we were laying down our beds, just, like, praying like that.

And then after that, we finished and I went back to bed.

And when I close my eyes, I see again this demon.

But this time was not that far away.

This time was, like, breathing in my face.

And it was mad.

It was so mad.

Like, I don't know.

It was just like he wanted to kill me, you know?

Yeah.

And I opened my eyes, and before I say something, my sister said, I don't think this prayer worked.

We need to go to the room, because I feel heaviness now.

And as I told you, she has this big, very strong relationship with the Holy Spirit.

So she knew that there was something strong in there.

And so we went back to my room, and I brought the Bible.

She brings the anointing oil, and we turn off the light.

So we start praying, praying in that room.

I was just scared.

I was, like, very scared.

But I was like, no, you know what?

I'm just.

I trust the Lord.

Lord is the Almighty one.

So we work with praying.

And during that moment, I.

I had this vision again of that demon just walking around us, like, in circles, like.

Just like muffin, you know, like, it was like.

And so we.

My spray.

And I start praying really loud, and I.

And suddenly this light that I was.

That I told you that these goosebumps start coming all over my body.

And I knew that it was God again, because I already had this feeling.

And the brightness was again, like, there.

Like, it was so bright.

The room starts, like, for some reason, it was dark as I was telling you, the lights were off, but the brightness of that room was incredible.

I knew God was there, and so he gave me the authority to cast those demons in that moment.

Come on.

So I wasn't here anymore.

And so I pray loud and I start screaming and saying, like, I can't.

Yeah, casuism out.

And like, in the name of Jesus.

So come on, give me the authority.

I felt strong with the Lord.

I knew God was.

God was with us.

And when I finished the prayer, I just again had this vision of them running away.

Like, and it was not only one or two, was many of them, y like just running out of the house.

And after that, I.

I couldn't believe what happened.

I shared that to my sister and she's like, yes, I had the same experience.

Like I said, I had these goosebumps all over.

And the room was very bright too, but I didn't see any demons.

And she's like, wow, maybe it's a gift.

And so I was like, I don't think so.

I don't think that's going to be a gift.

But then she started using the oil, putting anointing on the house.

And I see the Bible in front of me and I said myself, it will be crazy if he talks to me right now.

So I literally just grab it and I see this red part that Jesus says in Luke where he says, blessed are the eyes that see what you see, because many kings and prophets wish to see what you see, but they haven't seen it.

And when I just did, I was like, no.

Oh no, no, you did not give me this gift because I am very.

Like, I get scared so easily.

I told my sister and she's like, no.

When she started laughing, she was like, this is not a coincidence.

You have a gift.

And I'm like, no, no, I don't.

No, I don't.

And after that, of course, I prayed.

Oh yeah.

And it was like a confirmation.

Yeah, big time.

Yes.

And that's how I gave my life to Jesus pretty much.

And since then, it's been amazing.

God has been working with me in an incredible ways.

He's bringing like, through my social media, he's been bringing me like trans women, trans men, who wants to the transition, who wants to know who is Jesus, who wants to get closer to him.

So I start giving them classes with them, like, like one to one and, and just having this connection with them.

And it's just like seeing, seeing me in the past.

And I just feel like, so connected.

And it's like, wow, guys, you've seen me in an amazing way.

Wow.

And yes.

Oh, I'm like, want to cry over here.

Yeah.

Because the Lord's already using you.

And I just like the fact that you said, I'm looking at them and I'm seeing me in the past.

You know, that's.

That's what discipleship is.

It's taken somebody on a journey.

And I am just so thankful for you.

I'm just going to tell you straight up, this is a manual, a warfare manual for parents, for people who are in the trans community, people who are in the LGBTQ+ community.

And I just each, like, element of your story.

I felt like you were teaching through, like, a warfare manual, like you were giving wisdom and strategies, and I just cannot wait for all the testimonies to come out of this.

The other thing I feel led to do is I want everybody watching to continue to pray for Diego and cover him through intercession and pray prayer.

Let me know in the comment section if you're going to, like, get his back in prayer as he's on this mission.

Diego, I want to just end by giving you an opportunity to, like, look in the camera and speak, because I.

I just had a vision while you were talking of so many people watching and just hanging on every word you said.

And they got all the way through this video, and it's like you have an opportunity to speak right into their life right now.

And I.

I had a vision of them on their phone.

They're in the room, they're crying, they're feeling goosebumps.

They're feeling the Holy Spirit.

And, like, what would you say to them?

So I just want to get out of the way and just let you speak directly to them.

Yes, of course.

That's beautiful.

I love when God, you know, give us gifts, different gifts.

Yeah.

It's just like.

I mean, it's not important thing, of course.

That's, you know, like, secondary.

I believe that.

Well, if you're listening to this right now, it's not by coincidence.

I believe that God always used different ways to reach to us.

And when God called me, I answered the call.

I knew I had another option, but I just wanted to get closer to him.

And when God will call you, there will be times in your life that God will be calling you.

And it's not like maybe you say no to one, but then he will be calling you again.

And that's the moment where you have to realize, do I want to keep living this sinful life where there Is so much suffering, so much stress, so much darkness, or do I want to like, find light?

Do I want to find Jesus, want to find true, truly love?

And that's the way to go, you know, and it's just because you can try anything, anything.

Maybe you're not transgender, maybe you're not like gay, but you're struggling with pornography or you're struggling with drinking or other stuff.

But all of those things are connected.

There's things, sin, they're still make you feel empty, they still make you feel lonely.

And so the only thing that can feel that in your heart is of course, Jesus Christ.

And, and, and that's just the way to go.

I, I, I'll be like praying and I, I love praying for all these people who text me and started giving me their testimonies because I feel like it's really important.

I believe that God is, there's going to be a revival in the young generation.

And I believe that God is, you know, like using these, my platforms and your platforms to, to reach as many people as possible because the devil is so wise, as I said, and is trying to devour us.

He came to destroy us.

He came to just separate us.

But we need to be wiser than him and, and, and help others and, and don't be scared if you have the same testimony as I, as I share it, share it as many people as possible, because that's important thing.

You have to spread the gospel.

There's people that need to hear, you know, like, there is hope, there is salvation, and that's only with Jesus Christ.

Come on.

Well, if you're watching this right Now, Romans chapter 10, verse 9 says, Confess with your mouth.

Believe in your heart that Jesus is the Savior and you will be saved.

And just like Diego said, that prayer in the park, it was a simple prayer, but it was like, Jesus, I want you.

I, I believe that you're real.

I believe that you're the Savior and then instantly was changed.

I want you to pray that right now I'm gonna actually pray with you.

And then I want you to go to the comment section and say, I prayed that prayer.

I want to take my next step.

So let's pray this together.

Just say, heavenly Father, forgive me of all my sins.

I thank you for the cross.

I give my entire life to you.

Right now.

I believe that you are the Savior.

In Jesus name, name, Amen.

I'm just believing that you're in the comment section and we're celebrating with you.

I, I just cannot wait to see those comments.

Diego, I'm just going to tell you, you're amazing.

I just felt the joy of the Lord the whole time.

But I wanted to say something to you.

I waited this entire time to say this.

I know that your father passed away.

You know, my father passed away many years ago as well.

And I, and I've been fatherless and I know that wound and I just felt like I needed to see say this to you.

And I want to say this in front of everybody.

I'm proud of you.

The Lord is proud of you.

I, as, as a man now I'm a father, I have children.

And I just want to just say to you, I am so proud of the man that you are.

I'm so proud of the man that you've become.

And even on behalf of the Heavenly Father, I am so proud of you.

You know, there's been many years where I've long to hear a dad like look at me and put his hand on my shoulders and say, son, I'm proud of you.

And because my dad passed away, I, I, I never had a physical man say those words.

So I just want to say to you, like, I am proud of you.

I am.

I know it's not easy.

I know that when you're walking this, this narrow road, there's many people that won't walk this road.

And it can be lonely at times and there's ups and downs.

You know, we go from the mountaintop to the valley and then back to the mountain in the valley.

But just like God, he said, I'll never leave you nor forsake you.

And I just want to tell you, you're a warrior and you're honestly like, it's so funny because being a man is not about, like we talk about, you know, the masculine thing.

Like it's being a man is about serving Christ and saying yes to Jesus and surrendering your whole life.

And the whole time you were talking, I was like, diego is more of a man than most men that I've ever met because there's a lot of guys growing beards, bald headed guys like me, you know, and, and that doesn't make you a man.

Like, having muscles doesn't make you a man.

I believe being a man is about fully surrendering to Jesus and saying, I'm going to walk this narrow path no matter what that looks like.

And you have so much courage and you're so brave.

So I just want to thank you.

I, I'm somebody who has received so many death threats for being a biblical Christian, for standing on truth.

And my family has suffered greatly because of.

Of these types of broadcasts.

But I won't stop.

Stop telling the truth.

Because I know that there's more for me than against me.

And that there's even angelic armies that are fighting on my behalf.

They're fighting on your behalf.

And so I know that we're not alone.

But I just wanted to say thank you on behalf of all of the lives.

Like, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

We're gonna have to do a part two.

Like, after all the testimonies, everything, you'll have to come back on my channel and we'll do part two.

Is that a deal?

Yes, for sure.

Like, I haven't even finished.

I have so much going on.

Saying with the spiritual warfare and the gift that he has given me has been growing a lot too.

Yes.

Yes.

I'm curious.

Okay.

I felt like there was more.

This is already one of my favorite videos I've ever done.

But let's do this.

Let's do part two.

If you guys are in the chat right now, drop in the chat.

If you want part two, let us know, and maybe.

Maybe we'll even get you out to New York City.

We'll do it in person or something.

That'd be cool.

Yes.

Thank you so much, Mike.

I appreciate it.

God bless you so much.

And God bless you all who are watching this video now.

Oh, that's awesome.
