A Rainbow Revival Reaches Chicago: Ex-LGBT People Testify of Finding Freedom in ****** *******

ANALYSIS

Named after the president who proclaimed freedom for Civil War-era slaves, Lincoln Park in Chicago, Illinois recently drew hundreds of Christians who declared emancipation from another type of ********: former identities as LGBTQ+ people.

For a few hours on Saturday, the ex-LGBTQ ministry called Freedom March turned the park into a celebration of liberation and new hope in *******.

From Sweden and across the ******* States to a livestream that reached the nations, members of what’s called Rainbow Revival bowed their knees in humility – not pride – asking **** for forgiveness of sins involving ****, marriage, gender, and preborn life.

With loving spiritual support from Chicago-area churches, Freedom March lifted victorious shouts of praise to ******.Wearing shirts with rainbows – a sign of ****’s promise of deliverance – they worshipped, prayed, testified, and proclaimed the gospel for five hours before marching in Lincoln Park. Rainbow flags, banners, shofars, drums, and a wooden cross joined the freedom procession.

“The Lord has called Rainbow Revival to go into the heart of cities and testify in the public square that entrapped, ensnared people can be freed from false identities – glorifying ****** and making a fool of the ******,” said MJ Nixon, who helped lead the first Freedom March in  Washington, D.C.

Like the biblical Jericho march and shouts that toppled walls, Freedom March believes Chicago’s dark spiritual forces bowed to ****** as they raised sounds of praise, worship, declaration and intercession.

Believing that preaching the gospel is ****’s power to save the lost, Freedom March invited an evangelist called “****** Man” to share the good news of salvation as thousands of pedestrians and bikers moved throughout the park.

Displaying his two ****** vans with white letters forming the name ****** on both, Jay Peters passionately proclaimed a message of freedom from slavery to sin.

Supported by a powerful sound system, Peters’ voice filled nearby neighborhoods, where many members of Chicago’s LGBTQ+ community live. He then invited people to the stage where Rainbow Revival and ****** March ministers led them in prayer to receive ******* as their Lord and Savior; to rededicate their lives to Him; or to receive prayer for freedom from spiritual bondages.

As parents of a daughter who lives with a woman, Jay and Esther Peters know there’s hope for others like them. Through their relationship with Rainbow Revival, the Peters have met many ex-LGBTQ+ people who are walking in freedom with ******.

Jay Peters believes the Rainbow Revival among LGBTQ+ people coming to the Lord is like the ****** Revolution among hippies in the 1970s. Like hippies, ex-LGBTQ people boldly and emotionally testified they came to ****** 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 *********, ********, 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 ******** 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 ******’ love, His ****** for her, and how believing in Him brings salvation. Rose was filled with hope but also believed she could be ********** 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 ******, 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 ****, praising and dancing,” said Rose, who turned 30 during the summer.

A pastor who believes the ******* he leads is part of a prophesied harvest among the LGBTQ+ community in Chicago is persuaded the spiritual ground in Lincoln Park is ready for souls to come to ******. 

Daniel Cruz, pastor of Faithworld *******, paraphrased the ******’s words stating ****’s sons and daughters are to take dominion over wicked forces. 

“Today we step in that authority over spiritual strongholds in the heavenlies. We come against every high and lofty thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of ****. We bind principalities and powers,” Cruz said.

In addition to spiritual warfare, Rainbow Revival’s battle for freedom among the LGBTQ+ community requires support from the entire Body of ******* – a demonstration of unity that pleases the Lord.

“I believe that **** looks on this today and His heart is pleased,” said Kim Zember, a Rainbow Revival leader who noted spiritual support from churches and ministries is vital to next year’s Freedom March. “I look at pride out in the streets with 50,000 people, and I know that not all of them are in the LGBTQ+ community. Many of them are people who love the LGBTQ+ community saying, ‘We’re going to stand with you,'” Zember explained.

Like Zember who has attended seven Freedom Marches, Jarrod Tobias has joined them in Hickory, NC; Washington, D.C.; West Palm Beach, FL; Atlanta, GA; Dallas, TX; and Chicago – missing only one gathering.Besides prayer and support from the Body of *******, Christians should know that the Rainbow Revival/Freedom March staff aren’t compensated for the events, said Tobias, who flew from West Palm Beach to Chicago.He suggests that, if the family of **** believes in Rainbow Revival and a ****** People-type movement among LGBTQ+, the Body of ******* should help fund it.

The 2025 Freedom March is in Portland, Oregon.
