Rock and roll icon, Little Richard shares his testimony with Three Angels Broadcasting Network, on how he traded his former homosexual lifestyle to become a born-again Christian.
He shares his stories on how he was subdued by the temptation of the music industry, living a lifestyle of sexual immorality, which now he says is, “unnatural affections.”
In a past interview with GQ five years ago, he revealed how he used to live a life of perversion, from same-sex relationships and orgies, he even referred himself as “omnisexual”.
“When I first came in show business they wanted you to look like everybody but yourself,” he remembers.
“And, anybody that comes in show business they gonna say you gay or straight,” he said. “God made men, men and women, women. You’ve got to live the way God wants you to live…he can save you,” the 84-year-old singer told the Christian broadcaster.
In this testimony he ends with an encourage message of hope for those facing obstacles, “Regardless of whatever you are, He loves you. I don’t care what you are. He loves you and He can save you. All you’ve got to do is say, ‘Lord, take me as I am. I’m a sinner.’ But we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. The only holy, righteous person is Jesus and He wants us to be just like Him because, in order to go to Heaven, we’ve got to look like Him,” Richard continued.
