Thank you sooo much for that testimony, that is very brave when one can come forward and tell something like that. Because of your testimony, someone out there is going to be blessed by it and will find the way to Christ also, which is most important. The Bible says that we should come as we are.....and he will work out the rest. Thank you for not just waiting for God to heal you, but actually seeking him for it. Kinda remindds me of the bleeding woman who touched the hem of Jesus' garment. She had so much faith that she went to him for the healing. You are truly a man of faith.

I think such things happen as a result of the Holy Spirit. I may have never been meant for the lifestyle I lived but I sure was meant to return to God! I can honestly say that the Holy Spirit is THE Motivator in my life!

It sure is so much nicer with a Higher Intelligence guiding my life instead of relying on my own. If it were up to me, I'd still be searching blindly in something so unsatisfying I was actually numb to my own sadness and depression.

Like so many others who struggle with this sad issue I was searching for my own masculinity in others thru the wrong channels. Its confusion on a very deep level....and I am SO GLAD the Holy Spirit has shown me how to get my head above the water so I can breathe! :clap:

I love the Lord so much for what He has done and could never repay Him for what He did for me. I can only do what I can in my life to serve Him. My prayers go out to anyone who may be in searching in this dark world right now, blindly searching thru others what is actually inside them.

God bless all who love HIM!! :thumbsup: :bow:

David, I live in SF and have numerous friends who are gay. I am going to show them your post. I have had a long standing agrument with them that it is a choice not "born gay". I love all my friends and it would be great if your testimony could change their lives as well. God Bless

Wow! How fantastic! I was wondering about homosexual Christians after I made friends with a homosexual, only he's not Christian. He's *VERY* comfortable about his sexuality. I'm praying that God will find some way to soften him and enter in, for my friend to accept God into his life and on the chance that he does, I was just interested to see how other Christians have dealt with their homosexuality. :)

What a fantastic testimony!! Praise God!! :clap: I enjoyed reading this. Thank you for sharing this and may God bless you and continue to keep you strong in His arms! :)

I struggle with temptation like I feel this dude struggled with temptation, so it is good to see that someone has dealt with something that is not just temptation but a lifestyle around that temptation.

One day I will overcome, until then testimonies like this are great to read... and the Lord is great to serve.

God has given me the strength to do it, and I am now happier at 32 yrs old and celibate (until the right girl comes along), then I've been in my entire life. God's Holy Spirit is always with me, and with the touch of God, sexuality is completely secondary. My flesh doesn't have much of a chance at anything sinful with the Holy Spirit around, and I like it this way. The guilt is gone. No more hating myself. No more feeling like a loser because I pushed God out of my life. At this point in my life, even being celibate for such a long time (its been 6 yrs now), I feel fullfilled. God takes care of His children. I am living proof.

I think it is a wonderful testamony about putting God first in our lives, and proof that if we try to have more than one master it won't work. We probably wouldn't have as many threads around here if we all could do that. I admire him and hope he comes back around. I would love to get more information on him being that ..........well I don't know what to call it when someone is able to keep God first in their life for such a long period of time.

His testimony really blessed me, and it doesn't have anything to do with homosexuality, it has everything to do with placing God first in his life. :thumbsup: :amen: :clap: Very inspiring.

Our sins do not define us. Our relationship with God is what defines us.

"but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John 4:14

Key of Davids homosexuality led him to brokenness. His faith in Jesus led him to righteousness.

Hello David.

I was reading and this song came to my mind:

Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in his wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of his Glory and Grace..

Lord, you brought us this far and we know you will still lead us and bring us safely home. Thank you for David's life and your wonderful grace to us all.
