Manifested Glory Ministries creates a stir after posting a controversial video on YouTube that features what looks like an Exorcism of a gay male youth.
The video features church elders performing what looks like an exorcism, of what they refer to in the video as "homosexual demons"
The video shows leaders of the Manifested Glory Ministries in a frenetic scene, screaming, "Right now I command you to leave!"
At the same time a teen writhing on the ground as the adults around him implore so called "homosexual demons" to get out.
The leaders yell at the boy on the ground saying, "Right now in the name of Jesus, I call the homosexuality, right now in the name of Jesus."
For 20 minutes it continues with the boy in a near seizure, even vomiting.
By the looks of it, and the repeated references to his sexual orientation, it appears to be a gay exorcism.
Prophet Patricia McKinney and her husband, church overseer Kelvin McKinney have a weekly radio show. She wasn't much interested in talking, telling Fox 61's Laurie Perez, "Don't be following, I'm telling you no."
The only hint of a comment was her saying the ritual shown in the video is just one part of their ministry.
Robin McHaelen runs a mentoring program for gay teens,True Colors, and says she knows of 5 other teens in Connecticut who've been subjected to "demon casting."
She said, "What really freaked me out is the people who did that to that child wasn't because they were trying to hurt him. They thought they were trying to help him, but I think it that they murdered his soul."
Working out of this corner business unit in the industrial part of the city, the Manifested Glory Ministry lists no specific denomination.
The church has recently taken down its YouTube account, but the video is still posted on other sites.

Terrible - it baffles me how some people still believe it's like having a demon inside of you.

Amy, thank you for reading, commenting, and for the recommendation. It baffles me too. It also prompted me to question what is the difference between what occurred in Texas (Employee Organized: Videos show disturbing fights at Texas school) and this "Exorcism".
In other words, this child is clearly being physically abused by adults (driven to writhing, seizure, and vomiting) and emotionally abused (being denied the civil/human right to live authentically as a gay male youth); all under the guise of "religion". And it appears the "abusers" have so far gone unpunished. Definitely baffling!

I had no idea that Sexuality is still viewed in such a manner. This is way backward.

I havent even seen the video yet, but what I do know is that there are demons in this world. The demons are the fallen angels who followed satan when he was thrown out of heaven. I used to be mentally opressed by these spirits before I met Jesus. Ther r false Churches but If the exorcism is real then the negative comments is only the result of ignorance. People who have no clue about the reality of the spirit realm, and the spiritual war goin on. 1st corinthians chapt. 6 says that, fornicators, theifts, homosexuals, drunkards, etc. Will not enter the Kingdom of heaven, its not just about homosexuality, its about sin. Jesus died so that all men could repent (change the way they think) and be born again. If someone was born gay, they can be born again, born of God. Thers much more to be heard inorder to understand the real world outside of this big bang minded world that believes theres no God. I have bared witness to God and satan, so I know Jesus is Lord. God bless u.

Been through quite a few of these myself. Never got hurt, and never saw anyone else hurt either. People tend to diss what they don't understand. Because godlly people knew what I needed at the time, I have received many miraculous healings and a lot of spiritual release from problems plaguing my nerves. I just wish that these people had not posted it on YouTube. This sort of ministry isn't for the unitiated, nor the uninformed.

It's not a "problem". It's who you are. You were made that way for a reason, and you're only going to be miserable if you keep lieing to yourself. The only release is to embrace who you are. And those around you should too. Those who care don't matter and those who matter don't care. It's a sad sorry life being fake, and no amount of "miraculous healing" is going to fix that.

I am completely disgusted by this video and what these people are doing! Reality check, being "gay" is not satanic!
I am proud to be gay and i would like to thank every good Homosexual out there for the work they have done withstanding this ridiculousness and being Proud of who they are!
Ignorance is blinding. Amen.

I havent seen the video yet but If the exorcism was real than the negative comments are only the result of ignorance. There are demons in this world, I know because I used to be mentally opressed by them, the body is like a temple. Wher there is no God, there is darkness, and people can end up possesed, wether they are a murderer, a lier, a theif, or a homosexual. Its not about homosexuals, its about sin. I used to be a pscitsophrenic pot head befor I had an encounter with God. The bible says that homosexuals along with all the others, such as fornicators, adulterers, drunkards etc. Will not enter the Kingdom of heaven. Jesus died so that all men and women could repent (change the way they think) and be born again. What is born of the flesh is flesh, but what is born of the Spirit is spirit. We must be born of God, becuz we wer born into sin, sin has seperated us from God. We are spiritualy dead without God. Adam gave us sin and death (spiritual and physical death) this is y we grow old and die and the land is cursed, trees die, animals are hostile etc. (Read Genesis). But Jesus is the second adam who fulfilled the rightous requirement of the law and by dieing on the cross for our sin, he broke the curse of sin and death, and because he reserrected on the third day, we also can be born again, and rise up to a new life, holy and pleasing to God. Jesus is the Son of God, he was the sacrifice for our sin. Adam gave us death, Jesus gave us Life, and life eternal. Again God loves everyone, the problem lies with sin, all men must be born again inorder to enter the Kingdom of God. Not everyone can accept this, only those who believe that Jesus is the Lord. I have bared witness to God and satan, so I know and can testify that this is true. When you see a demons possesed girl walking the walls like a spider and changing the voice to a man, baby, and elder, than you would beleieve- this happened to my mothers cusn in brazil, my moms cousin's parents wer witches. And my moms cousin used to manifest when she would come over to my grandmothers house to worship God almighty. My grandmother is a child of God, and she would have to contend, and rebuke the demons in the name of Jesus, it was a rough battle because I believe her parents had offered her to satan.
Ther is much wisdom, but inorder to find it, you must seek it. Jesus is Alive, and He is Lord, but you have to humble youself and seek Him, inorder to find him. He loves you jus as much as he loved me when he saved me....God bless u

So, you think that if a mob of people started beating the life out of you, you'd put down your pot and stop hearing voices and be enlightened? Seriously? Is that how you solve problems in your house? Has it ever occurred to you that trauma like that is one of the CAUSES of mental/emotional illnesses? Maybe that is what put you on pot in the first place. And if you're into that whole "pain will teach me" thing, then that, my friend, is masochism which I believe is frowned upon in most Christian societies. So, good luck with that.
And life cannot peacefully exist without death. If nothing could die, what would we eat? Couldn't hunt because the animals are alive. Same with the plants. We'd be starving to death for eternity, unable to die. Constantly repopulating, running out of room on the planet, because no one's dieing off to make room for the new arrivals. Life would be constant endless agony without death. The world needs balance, and death is the balance to life.
And when it comes to "no homosexuals will enter heaven", times change. In the times of the bible, eating meat on a friday was a hell-worthy trespass. And God set down the 10 Commandments for us to obey, so we could make it to heaven. And most the bible is just an ideal way of living, to become a saint, or become more Christ like. And anyway, most of the pen holders were communities, not just single men given the insights of God. Mark, for example, was a pen name for a specific community, and they all put in there bit as they recalled it and majority rule, that's what was put in the book. Man is fallible so therefore, since the bible was written by many men, may not be totally right in Gods eyes. I'm not questioning God, I'm just worried that he put his trust in people to write down his great big rule book. Man is biased, so it is possible that some things were reworded, lost in translation, or all together changed to fit the writers taste. Remember, man has free will. Not even God can take that away. Being intangible is one of the downsides, you have no say in the editing process.
Just because one is homosexual, doesn't mean they love God any less. Some people just believe that it's worse to lie than obey thier harmless urge to love. If they're raping people like at Sodom, then they're rapists, punish them to the full extent of the law, by all means. But if they're trying to find thier soul-mate, thier match, let them be. Because God is love, and it's not a good idea to stand in the way of God.

This is sickening. Love is love, gender has nothing to do with it. No one can change who they are, what they prefer and those who try are just lieing to themselves. And those who try to change people and cast out the "demons" are just self-righteous assholes who are trying to justify their blind hate. People need to wake up, stop their witch burning and accept that people are different. Everyone has the right to live any way that they desire as long as it doesn't violate someone else's right to their freedom. Ignorance is not bliss but a sin that should be punishable by death.

It is sick and sad to read the comments of people with reprobate/darkened minds who call the good that these people are doing, evil. It is an absolute no-brainer that homosexuals and lesbians are infested with these disgusting abominable demons.
That these christian folks are making an attempt the best way they know how to destroy those damned demons is very commendable in this day and age. All these hypocrites who say that there are no demons, and then watch all these TV shows as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Harry Potter etc and "get off" on them, and do not condemn the notion of demons need to be absolutely ignored, for they are ignorant.
Wake up! Wake Up! demons are real, parasites, and they Hate us.

Seriously? YOU sicken me. THEY CAUSED THE KID TO HAVE SEIZURES. Did you know that every seizure a person has shortens a persons LIFE SPAN by years? Do you honestly think that shouting "DEMONS, COME OUT!!!" justifies them BEATING that boy? You damn well better not have children, you'll probably beat the "demons" AND the life out of them. Homosexuality is in no way caused by demons. It's simply a persons preference. If a person ignored thier preference, or "changed" they would still have the same tastes. Pretending otherwise is just that. Pretending. It's a mask. A front. A lie. Isn't lieing breaking the 5th of the 10 COMMANDMENTS, set in place by GOD? And I haven't seen the Commandment that says "Thou shalt not love if thy love is of the same gender", have you? I wouldn't be surprised if you were against inter-racial love as well. Is that caused by demons to? Homosexuality isn't something to be "cured". It's what makes a person an individual. Just as your sexual preferance makes you you. Did you know, last Valentines day, a young boy named Larry, in about 4th grade was MURDERED by another boy for asking him to be his Valentine? The boy who received this Valentine, went home, got a gun, and KILLED Larry. OVER A FUCKING VALENTINES CARD. Larry didn't put a finger on the other kid. Just gave him a card, and now he's DEAD. He hadn't even hit puberty yet, not had his first kiss or first love, and he had a bullet in him. All because the murdering boys parents were like YOU. Out hunting demons. While the only demons I can see, are the ones in you. Demons of blind hate, ignorance, and deadly stupidity. Open your eyes, before you find your hand a cause in the end of a life.

Maria Parsons103162, thank you for reading and commenting on this story. You are clearly passionate about this issue, however, I would ask that you refrain from using profanity on comment threads. Larry was a 15 year-old gay male youth in the 8th grade at a California school when he was brutally murdered by a school classmate for being gay. Please feel free to read previous coverage on NowPublic about Larry, here.
Thanks again for reading and commenting, and welcome to NowPublic.

Sorry about that. It's just 80% of my friends are either bi-sexual or gay so this topic has an extremely short fuse with me. And most have them have been abused over it, my best friend got his face smashed through a wall by his mother when he was 12 when he asked her why he liked boys. He still has the scars, as do many of my other friends from similar incidents..

I am compelled to comment on like every negative comment about the matter, so please, please read the 2 comments posted by me (Gods son) because I have much to say but cant keep writing. Jus start at the beginning and scroll down and read the 2 comments I put in. God bless.....
PS: I used to have seizures but God set me free from that on the day I was born again. I also used to be mentaly opressed by demons, I used to hear them speak and I would see them when I closed my eyes. Demons are supernatural beings, they live in the spirit real and are the fallen angels that followed lucifer (satan) when He was thrown out of heaven. Please read the comment above, I do not write you with hate, but I write u with true love, the love of God. God bless u...I am a witness to God and the evil spirits.
Again please read the comments and feel free to respond.

Hmmm.... maybe you had seizures from all the pot you were doing. And I think you may have watched the Excorsist one too many times in your youth while you were tripping on said drugs, because that sounds an awful lot like that movie. And I think it's rather ironic that you just so happen to have all this experience in all these different fields to combat any logical arguments. You may be suffering from illusions of a horrid past and now dillusions of gradure, or your just a liar. Ether way, you're not very reliable. And your spelling and grammar is driving me mad, so you FAIL.

P.S. You are obviously in NO WAY a lover of truth if you are still living in the Dark Ages in the time of witch burning, so you are the last person who should be talking about ignorance. And "no brainer"s? That's obviously the only kind of thinking you could be capable of, since you've proven your lack of a brain. And you STILL fail at no brainers.

I am a Christian. I am gay. Does God love me any less? No. Do people this day and age miss a lot and leap to judgments? Yes. The word homosexual was not even a word until the early 1900's and didn't appear in the Bible until the 1940's!
Since I was 11 I prayed for God to change me. He never did. But he revealed a lot of things to me He also gave me peace.
There ARE demons. They should not be downplayed. But there is also a lot of misunderstanding. Look into the origins of the BIble: the Torrah and the Ot. There's much to be found there!

To repent means to change the way u think. God made adam and eve. He also destroyed sodom and gomora. God hasnt aproved homosexuality, u have been mistaken. What u have to understand is that our flesh is sinful. U must put to death ur flesh, deny urself and follow Jesus, live by the Spirit and not by the flesh, read the whole new testament. Ur flesh is what is tempted by homosexual desires but Christ came to set us free from all sin. Some fights are harder than others but u must realy humble yourself and allow God to complete the work he started in you. All men must be born again, if its true that people are born gay, than they, like everyone else need to be born again. We are born again in our spirit, Jesus gives us life, but our flesh is still cursed with the sinful nature and thats y we must put to death the flesh, and live by the Spirit, I dont mean suicide, I mean follow Jesus, thru the Hoily Spirit that was given to us when we believe. If u keep your mind set on the spirit, you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh, which for you would be homosexuality, for me would be fornication, that is one of my biggest temptation. Im waiting for my wife.
If u dont believe 1st corinthians wer it list homosexuality as a sin that will stop us from entering the kingdom of heaven, then u should seek God again and he will show u, but u must be broken and humbled befor him and call on his name.
But please remember wat I said, set ur mind on the spirit, for God is spirit. If u are his child, u are spirit as well, and your flesh has been buried in christ thru babtism. Please read my other comments that I posted above, start from the top and scroll down. My name is ( Gods son)RrPleasotheotheother

This church needs to start casting out the DEMON OF GLUTTING. Watching the video I seen many that needs that demon cast from them. It is so funny how people can see what others are doing wrong in the eyes of God but they dont see their own mistakes. We are all Gods children.

Gay bashers, defend THAT. A proven liar, so she was most likely lying throughout this whole video though she probably believed it because of all the drugs she was doing before the interview. She confessed to be addicted to multiple drugs herself. And that is more than likely the only true statement throughout the entire interview.

I found these quotes and they made me smile :] All true too.
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
~Dr. Seuss
"If homosexuality is a disease, let's all call in queer to work: "Hello. Can't work today, still queer.""
~Robin Tyler
"When I was in the military they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one."
~Epitaph of Leonard P. Matlovich, 1988
"The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision."
~Lynn Lavner
"War. Rape. Murder. Poverty. Equal rights for gays. Guess which one the Southern Baptist Convention is protesting?"
~The Value of Families
"Why can't they have gay people in the army? Personally, I think they are just afraid of a thousand guys with M16s going, "WHO'D YOU CALL A FAGGOT?!""
~John Stewart
