Homosexual Discussion ForumHomosexuality is a Gift from God :: Re: Homosexuality is a Gift from GodI would like to know what church that person attends. I lived as an active homosexual for the first 30 years of my life before my conversion to Jesus Christ 8 years ago. At one time I fell in love in a relationship and experienced the apparent bliss of "being in love" as well as the "heartbreak" when the relationship ended. But when I came to the Lord the very first thing that I had to confront was the issue of my homosexuality as being acceptable to God or not. By the conviction of the Word of God I knew I had to admit my sin and repent if I wanted to go on with God. After visiting a number of different churches I was baptized in the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:4) with the evidence of speaking in tongues. It was the most awesome experience of my life. What I had read about in the Bible became alive inside of me. I found the true love that was missing from my life - the love of God. Jesus said, "whoseover drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst again" (John 4:14). A week after my Spirit baptism, I was water baptized (Acts 2:38). I never told anyone at the church about my past but when I came out of the waters of baptism the minister baptizing me suddenly turned pale in the face and said, "something is wrong here". He then asked me if I had engaged in homosexual behaviour. The only way he could know that is if God revealed it to him. I then explained my past to him and he told me that "satan had bound me in the flesh but God is going to set you free". He helped me out of the baptism tank and called over the Pastor and two other ministers. This was taking place in front of the whole congregation and members of my family. The Pastor and the ministers began to pray for me and when they laid their hands upon me it was like I was hit with a hurricane force wind. I fell backward onto the floor and began flopping around like a fish out of water and I was speaking in tongues. I know at that moment I was set free by the power of God. I do not understand all that may cause one to be homosexual but one thing I do know it is not a gift from God. If anything it is a bondage of the devil. The Bible says we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against demonic powers and spiritual wickedness (Eph 6:12). There are spirits operating behind the scenes with homosexuality which is why science will never figure it out. For some unknown reason some people are susceptible to this particular spiritual influence. That would explain the feeling of lack of control of the desires. Other factors may play a role in opening the door to the spirit influence but of this one thing I am convinced there are spirits taking part in any case. But thank God because where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty (2 Cor 3:17). The ministry of Jesus Christ and His Church is, "to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound" (Isa 61:1). That is why the baptism of the Holy Ghost is so vital. I do not know what church this person goes to but if he/she can walk into that church and feel no conviction then the Spirit of the Lord is not in that church. He/she must leave that church. The Bible mentions those types of churches, "having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away" (2 Tim 3:5). They need to find a church where the Spirit is moving and where the plan of salvation is being preached (Acts 2:38). Jesus said, "you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you" (Acts 1:8). This person needs to be free set from their bondage by the Power of God. And Jesus wants to set them free and He will set them free. For he whom the Son sets free is free indeed. I pray this testimony will touch their heart and the Lord draw them by His Spirit. In Jesus' name. Amen. |
