Pastor Hezekiah Walker Comes Out The Closet

[djjukebox]

Hezekiah Walker, a minister of the Pentecostal faith and one of the most renowned Black ministers in America, has left his cloth in dramatic fashion.

Due to a controversial life of secret homosexuality, Walker has come out of the closet during an extremely bitter divorce from his longtime wife Monique Walker.

According to affiliates close to the family, Monique had long feared there was another side to her husbands sexuality and suspected that her thoughts were confirmed when her husband infected her with a sexually transmitted disease.

After confronting Hezekiah about the disease, he fessed up and admitted to carrying on an affair with a man who lives as a transvestite. Sources also said that Walker forced his wife and children from their home so that he could live together with his gay lover.

Walker's Down-Low lifestyle even more unbelievable because he is one of the biggest Pastors that is totally against gay life. The Grammy Winning Pastor is expected to step down from his post officially next month.

This kind of thing doesn't surprise me-really! With the extremely condemnatory attitude towards homosexuals in the black community amongst males, those who are predisposed to this lifestyle are often put in the position to become self-hating, men who condemn in others what they suffer from themselves. The result often is what has been reported when the charade cannot be maintained any longer.

This requires us, as Christians, to seek mercy and grace for our own sinful proclivities which we all have "for the seed of corruption is in me" as one of my favorite prayers says--whatever they may be--and show mercy to those who are suffering and have made destructive choices, knowing that we ourselves in our falleness and brokeness can go down sinful paths. We should be mindful of this!

Like my mama always says, "A hit dog will holler."

Darn, he was one of my favorite Gospel Artists. His music defrinitely ministers to me. I hope that he finds his way back. As his wife so beautifully sang, "God is a God of a Second Chance". She won't be singing that to him though.

Is this veified? I never heard of that source before or heard this anywhere else.

IT'S NOT TRUE. The website now has this on there:

"BREAKING NEWS FROM MUSIC NEWS WEEKLY.........THIS STORY IS COMPLETELY FALSE AND WILL BE REMOVED IN 24 HOURS.........................

I agree with one of the posters there - the bible says "touch not my annointed..."

Can you imagine how many false emails have circulated because of Music News Weekly? I also received it in an email (no, I didn't forward it).

Thank you TP for getting out the correct info.

Yes, thanks very much for clearing that up. We probably will be hearing a lot of these false stories as certain forces try to derail the conservative church movement.

Yes indeed Bruh....I suspect it was a gay person who did not like the Pastor's stance on the gay lifestyle.

Or Music News was threatened with a lawsuit if it didn't run a retraction.

I was thinking the exact same thing. You know - the enemy is attacking many of our spiritual leaders with rumors. *SMH*

Thank God! I was beginning to wonder what is going on in the world of Christian Music with Tonex- and now this- thank God for the truth!

PASTOR HEZEKIAH WALKER RESPONDS TO
FALSE REPORT ABOUT HIS SEXUALITY
(A letter to Hezekiah’s church members)

February 24, 2006

Praise the Lord Saints,

I’m very proud to be called your Pastor.
Please be assured that I would never do anything
to bring shame to you or The Body of Christ.
The enemy seeks to steal, kill and destroy.
Character assassination is one of the
oldest weapons. People weak in
mind believe the worst about
everyone.

The Preacher is the tallest timber in the
forest of humanity. The devil strategically
plans destruction during the season of notoriety
for he knows that if he waits and makes the tallest
timber in the forest fall, the falling tree will destroy
so many other smaller trees that stand close to
it and look up to the tallest timber. We will
give no place to the devil. As we continue
to walk in Victory.

The Satanic E-Mail and rumor is a sure sign
that this is our Year of Increase. If the enemy
is going to get me, he must come better than
a transvestite and a blonde wig. As for all of
the haters, I m not taking a step down, but
a step up. We will continue to preach
against sin and promote Deliverance!
I refuse to let this distract me so don’t
you become distracted. Always remember;
never chase a lie, because the truth will prevail.

“And because God is the greatest power,
we shall not be defeated…”

PS: I´m sure this e-mail will not generate
like the satanic e-mail, because people
would rather hear a lie than the truth.”

See you at the Tabernacle

Love You
Pastor Walker
