THE SHOES OF THE HAIRSTYLIST

His name is Daniel Garcia.  He gave his testimony at the second church service that I attended last Sunday.  For 20 years he dressed like a woman, spoke like a woman, walked like a woman, acted like a woman.  He worked as a hairstylist by day; by night he was a prostitute.  Many of his friends were dying of AIDS.  His customers at the hair shop knew him as Adriana. They never questioned his femininity.  They would have never believed that Adriana was actually a man who pumped his body with hormones and wore mini skirts.  His body had become the body of a woman.  When he got on the bus men would stand up and relinquish their seats to Adriana.  When he stood in a long line men would proudly and gladly let him move to the front.  His family rejected him.  Daniel hated his lifestyle.  He would try to speak like a man, walk like a man, and act like a man, but failed on all counts.  He felt trapped.  Then someone spoke to him about a man that could get him out of this lifestyle.  He had heard of Jesus before but he doubted His power to set him free.  But one day Daniel grabbed his purse and walked into a church wearing his mini skirt.  He was desperate and curious about Jesus.  The church service moved Daniel and his heart.  Before long he was kneeling at the altar.  With the miracle working power of Jesus, Daniel got up from the altar and was 100% delivered from the demons that overpowered him.  Daniel got up from the altar a totally free man.  Immediately all the female manifestations in his life departed.  Daniel was totally set free.  He returned to the hair shop as Daniel, not Adriana.  When they asked him about Adriana he told his customers that Adriana died.  Twelve years later Daniel Garcia is an evangelist who preaches under the powerful anointing of the Holy Spirit.  He walks like a man, talks like a man, and is proud to be who he was created to be.  He is happily married and has 3 kids.  His wife is a fireball for the Lord. She has been preaching since she was a teenager.  Recently he was invited to be at a television program to speak about his sexuality.  He baffled all the experts who have the crazy notion that it would be impossible for a man like Daniel to be a full man.  We just celebrated Easter.  Daniel's powerful testimony is proof of the RESURRECTION power of Christ to set the captives free.  The resurrection broke the devil's back and Satan lost the war.  We have become more than conquerors through Christ.
