Controversial Nigerian preacher, Prophet T.B. Joshua, is in the news again after his ministrations reportedly turned a transgender Paraguayan woman back into a man.
Prophet TB Joshua has been known to reportedly ‘heal’ deadly diseases and deformities, offer financial aid to the needy both within and outside his church, and also release prophesies about things that will happen around the world.
His recent feat however involves a former transgender woman who reverted back to being a man while the prophet was ministering during a recent crusade.
According to reports shared on Facebook by the preacher’s official page, the young man named Antonio Caceres, had been living as a transgender for years, before ‘help’ came to him in the form of his sister who prayed ceaselessly for his ‘condition’ to change.
Antonio was just seven years old when he first realised a growing affection for the males in his classroom. He tried to shelve the nauseating urge by playing sports and engaging in predominantly ‘masculine’ activities.
The young boy soon began stealing his sister’s underwear and wearing it at whim, buoyed by a strange form of guilty pleasure. His first full-blown homosexual encounter came at the tender age of 11. It was downhill from there.
“When I was 18, I went onto the streets,” the Paraguayan explained. It was the beginning of ten years in which Antonio would change his name, identity and – almost – his gender.
Dressed in seductively tight female clothing, pumped with feminine hormones to remove body hair and develop breasts, cars with male occupants would stop to pick him up every night.
Drug-fuelled, drunken orgies became the norm, to the shady extent that Antonio could not even remember who he had been with the previous night or what he had done.
Tears flowed as witnesses came forward to explain that all their lives, they had known Antonio as a woman. “God has restored back to us what the devil had stolen,” his sister declared.
“If God has delivered me, there is no one He cannot deliver,” Antonio advised. “If you are living the lifestyle I once lived, you may think it’s normal but it’s not; you need deliverance.” Free indeed!
