• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hi Everyone. I'm 21 and I've declared myself a lesbian since I was 16. I used to be so strong in my faith, and I just don't know where I went wrong. I've been clearly aware of my wrong-doing, and I somehow I convinced myself that I was okay. I'm a back-slider and I want to find my way back to God again. I know I can't do this alone, so I'm asking for your prayer.
I pray daily, and everyday I think, "I should try to stop living in this homosexual lifestyle," but I feel I've gotten tangled in lying to myself.
My "partner" and I have been living together for almost two years, and every day I just feel more sick with myself, ashamed that the Lord knows all. She (my partner) was strong in God at one point in her life, and both of our families are strong Christians as well. But, she's convinced that what we're doing is okay, that we're not going to hell.

I guess I'm asking for prayer for hers, and my, eyes be reopened, and that we'll receive guidance. I feel like I'm watching myself live from afar, and I'm behind a glass wall unable to do anything about it.

I'll be praying for you, shazmit, but I would like you to remember something. We have ALL fallen short and sinned before God--every one of us (even me!). And even though every single person here on the planet has disobeyed God and fallen short, He loves us anyway...in spite of ourselves! In fact, He loved YOU and your "partner" so much that He chose to die for your sins on the cross and provide a way to Him!

I pray that you'll have the courage and support to do what you know is right and live to the glory of God. We love ya! :hug:

Praying for you that you have the strength to come out of the relationship and do what you know to be the right thing. I hope you are maybe able to get some counsel regarding this.

On the web, a resource which might help you is www.exodus-international.org

Praying for you--

The first thing you need to do is stop confessing that you are a lesbian...our words carry life and death in them..and you are giving that spirit authority by doing so..bring this issue up with your partner...tell her how you want to get back with God and no that this is not in God's will for either of you two...dont sleep in the same bed....dont continue to lead this other gurl on....dont entertain the desires, urges, or fantasies..of this..prepare a way out now..a new place to live..etc...find a christian counsler in your area..seek support for a struggles class in your local church...the Holy Spirit is guidng you know ...convicting your heart telling you that this isnt right..when its not right...your eyes are already beginning to open..now take action...and use God as your anchor and rock in this time...but procedue forward..flee from this..God bless

I am praying for you, sweetie.
I have faced... still face... the same temptation.
And I know that God can help you to overcome it, if you are ready to let Him.
He loves you, unconditionally.
And His grace is sufficient... in every situation.
God bless you.

Shazmit? sorry that name throws me so if i miss spelled it i apologize...

I have to admit id much rather be in your shoes then the ones im in....cuz I too am in a lesbian relationship...but i too have told my "partner" that its sin...but its so hard isnt it? when we feel so much love towards a person....when we know a person so well and have such big hearts and want nothin more then to not hurt them...you see if my partner believed in God the way yours does it be much easier to walk away cuz at least i know in those reeeally hard broken moments they'd be okay they have Jesus to lean on...but mine...doesnt believe...not even a little bit...she trust me with all that she claims...she watches me to see if just maybe there is a God ...matter of fact im the first person who ever brought her to church even...ive got all kinds of excuses of not living her...she's supportin me at the moment...i got hit by a car and i have all this debt with her....so id like to at least wait til we both can get on our feet...

but ive been to ex gay minstries with people way older then us...im only 23 you are only 21....but we keep this up and there goes our life just like that...the question is how long are we goin to wait...to make things right because once we get out of these relationships thats only half the process...then we have to be willing to get our hearts back and right with God...and as screwed up as our hearts are..how long do you think that will take esp. when our girlfriends are done with us...a few more yrs on to that...how much precious time in that moment do you think will have been wasted by that time? how many people could God have used us to touch in that time but we couldnt cuz we were honestly just much too selfish...why can i speak like this to you? because im there...because i know eeexactly what you're goin through but the truth of the matter is when all is said and done...we dont reeeally want out...we want God to do it for us...because we honestly can not see our lives without this person we are with...because we've spent too much time with them to know any better to be with out them...we are completely brainwashed...and honestly rather selfish...lets just be honest with ourselves...we are the jonah on the boats who needs to just jump over board....

but you know what is reeeally crazy bout this whole situation is that our Savior Jesus Christ...doesnt care...i mean He does but He loves us enough that He is telling us as you can see in your life...I'm not letting go...just like in the bible when God wrestled...:) yup He wont stop with us either...So I'll be praying for you...and you pray for me...and maybe hopefully both of us will get the courage to truly let go...cuz when all is said and done God gave us free will for a reason...cuz He isnt goin to make us love Him...and we have to decide is our girlfriends really that important to us? That we're willing to not just go to hell its not even about hell...its about the millions upon thosands of ppl we could affect that dont have a relationship with Jesus Christ that looks at you and me to say hey...i know Him...and right now..we dont because we're pushin HIm away....so just maybe we'll decide to play on Jesus team instead of against Him...but you have to remember that is YOUR CHOICE...LIFE OR DEATH? Cuz in the end sin always leads to death...even if its just a dead spirit...which honestly doesnt have to happen when u die it can happen before...just think bout it...

the hard stuff is in your hands...only you can change your life forever...

:preach: hang in there sista....:thumbsup:

:prayer: blessing....lindsay

the more you seek the things of god,the easier it is to choose wisely and righteously. the holy spirit that is living in you will give you the courage to do the things you do not think you have the courage to do. if you choose out of some external mechanical steam strength, you will continue going in circles........if you seek the things of god, the more you will desire the things of god until those things that conflict you get pushed out naturally and organically. your only job at present is to seek the things of god, he will then enblazon the spirit that is ignited in you already and give you the courage to love god more than fearing the fear that now overwhelms you. rejoice that you are being torchored thusly...it means you are alive and that hope is on the horizon...that it is time for you to let god shatter the glass. listen for him and seek him....look for good preachers/people/prayer groups....even an online mp3. open the word and let it open your ears and don't be afraid because god is holding out a life line to you while you drown in the tar pit....do not be afraid of his kind hand, he wants to bless you, not condemn you.....you have grown comfortable to the tar pit and even as it fills up your lungs you fear to take the rope since the tar pit is all you've known and perhaps you can't imagine the water, fresh air and joy that lies on the other side of that rope. Embrace the truth that you hear and take hold of his hand.

May the race be not only for the swift........peace to you my friend and sister. It will be wonderful when someday you and i will meet and speak of this in that other dimension we call home.

You know, if I am reading correctly you have said that you are getting sick by this sin! I tell you that we will be praying for you that God may cont to give you a hate for that particular sin.

Start with sincerity.... I do want to " " or I do not want to" "
for what we esteem and think about comes to pass

When you are ready, with God's help, things will change.. I smoked for 30 years, 1 heart attack later...I quit ..."that offer I cannot refuse"; don't wait that long in your life...

Romans 4.17 ...speak to that which is not as if it was ....I am fine, healed, reconciled
Mark 11.23-4 I speak to this mountain, be removed from my life

If you truly believe that your homosexual feelings are not natural, then to truly heal and move beyond this, you have to figure out where and why they originated. Maybe it was something from your childhood. But try to let go of the guilt from the relationship & feelings, and look towards the future.
I'll be praying for you too :hug:

Hi shazmit! I also had a homosexual background in life. But I thank God that your eyes are still open to the truth.

I deeply understand how you are torn in between God and your "partner" right now. To give up someone that is dear to me (as an act of obedience to God) is one of the most painful things that I've ever experienced in my life. But..

Carnal Christianity - who ever said that such a thing exists? Can a person be a Christian and at the same time be a "world-worshipper?" Absolutely no. The Bible even says that no one can serve two masters. No Christian CAN remain living a worldly and sinful life - take note that it is not a Christian's act to avoid sin but it is a Christian's CHARACTER.

Desire God above everything! Our pastor once asked, "If heaven has all the sex, money and everything that you want, and Jesus is in hell, what will you choose?"

Right now, I am still in pain of what happened when I gave up this somebody who is dear to me. But above the pain stands the assurance that there is a sovereign God who is in control of everything...even my heart's desire.

I'll be praying for you. God bless and may you find ultimate satisfaction in Him alone.=)
