Deception:

           Truth to Say to Homosexuals:

I have had these homosexual feelings for so long.   I think that I was born this way.  I think that God made me this way.

Well, you may feel you were born that way, but I have good news for you.  You can become born-again.  And yet, despite the media�s spin, really scientifically there is no evidence for a gay gene. Actually, psychologists say that your sexual identity is socially developed.   During the ages of three to about twelve, when boys play with boys, their sexual identity is developed.   They look to men as role models. After boys go through puberty, their sexual hormones kick in and they start liking girls. If a boy�s sexual identity is not developed by then, they can turn to homosexuality because they are looking to bond with men and fill a void that was never fulfilled in their early years.   You were not born gay. Why would God create something that He calls an abomination?

If God didn�t make me this way, then why do I have these homosexual feelings? 

Your homosexual feelings have been created through the lies of the enemy.  Because children are often afraid to tell how they feel, the lies remain covered. Many times men turn to homosexuality because of:

1. Perceived rejection from their father - which causes them to reject him back & then they reject themselves and their own sexual identity.

2. lies that were planted, internalized and believed in their heart when they were sexually abused as a child�and they never learned the truth.

3. lies that were planted when children made cruel remarks such as �sissy, gay, queer.� Instead of learning the truth, they believed the lies.    

God wants to uncover the lies, reveal the truth  & set you free from all the demonic bondage.  God loves you & He wants you to change

I am not hurting anybody.  My gay partner is consenting.  So why should it matter?

You think that you are not hurting anyone, but how do you know?  Many people thought that saccharine was OK, but then they found out years later that it causes cancer. God designed your body to need sleep. If you don�t sleep for 24 or 48 hours, you will collapse and die.  God designed your body to need food and water.  If you don�t eat food or drink water for eight days, you will die. God designed the human body so that a man and woman could have sex to produce children.  If they don�t, the whole human race will die.  God did not design the body to be used for homosexual activity.  He calls it sin.  If you continue in this sinful lifestyle and do not repent of it, you may not die physically, but you will die spiritually.  In fact, many homosexuals get AIDS, so you may actually die physically, but if they repent before they die and get saved, then they will go to heaven. You may not think you are hurting any one on this earth, but you are hurting God Who is in heaven. You are building a wall between you and God. It is like throwing bricks at His face. When you sin and do not repent, it makes God sad because He sent His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for your sins so that you could be set free and healed. You see, it is His free gift to you because He loves you. This is His mercy.  He also knows that if you do not repent and truly want to be delivered and healed, then you will go to hell and suffer great pain & torment for all eternity. He does not want that for you, but that is what His justice demands.  You asked me why does it matter?  Well, your eternal destiny matters.  It matters to me and it matters to God.  As funny as this may seem, God loves you and He wants to be your Father, your Heavenly Father and if you surrender your life to Him, He will renew your mind into the man that He created you to be.

These homosexual feelings are real. Since they feel so real, then they must be good.  They must  be right.

Well, let me ask you�Have you ever cut your hand with a knife?  Was it a good feeling?  Have you ever hated anyone?  Was that a right feeling?  Just because you feel or think something doesn�t mean it is true or right.  You need to know the difference between what the Bible says about you and what you may think or feel.  In Rom. 7:23 the Bible says that the spirit wars against the mind (or flesh).   Your spirit can tell you one thing and your mind will tell you another.  So we have to learn to sever (discern) between the flesh and the spirit  (Heb. 4:12).

So, how can I be set free?  I don�t know how to not feel what I feel.  I don�t think that I can change.

If you sincerely want to change, God will help you change.  There are helpful resources available on the left that can help you.  God can deliver you from these feelings and from this lifestyle and He wants to.                   First of all, you need to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.  Then you need to renew your mind with the Word of God to break the lies of the enemy.  You also need to totally forgive your father who you feel rejected you; forgive whoever abused you, hurt you, or called you names.  Forgive them all and put them in God�s hands because Romans 12:19 says, �Beloved, avenge not yourselves (have no unforgiveness). Vengeance is the Lord�s and He will repay.�  God will right the wrongs that have been done to you.  The lies that were planted in your heart during this time need to be uprooted and the truth of God�s Word needs to be planted in.   So you need to practice spiritual warfare -     1.  Recognize the lies.  2. Refuse the lies and any negative words spoken over you and  3. Resist them and the devil will flee.  4. Then confess the Word of God over yourself as to who you are in Christ.  You need to believe and receive God�s love - the height, depth, width and length of the love that He has for you (Eph. 3:18).  Your identity needs to become rooted in who you are in Christ.  As you read and meditate on the Word of God and listen to anointed Christian praise and worship music your mind will become renewed.  Then you need to understand the power of prayer and the authority that you have in the name of Jesus Christ.  You have authority to bind the homosexual feelings using the name of Jesus Christ.  And you have the authority to loose upon yourself the spirit of purity and holiness  in Jesus� name. (2 Corin. 10:4-5)

This is what the Bible says regarding homosexuality:                     Rom. 1:21, 26-27;   1 Cor. 6:9-10; 1 Tim. 1:10-11; Gen. 19:1-11;    Levit. 18:22, 20:3;  and  Judges 19:22-27

As a Christian witnessing to a homosexual who is open to listen, how do I help them see the truth?

   Perhaps the best way to help someone struggling with homosexuality  is to ask a few questions to help them see the truth.  This also shows how much you love them and care about them:

1.  How old were you when you first believed you were a homosexual?

2.  Do you remember your first sexual encounter or first sexual act?

3.  What was your family life was like? Was your father around?

4.  How do you believe that you became a homosexual? 

5.  What do you think that God thinks about your behavior?
