Yes that's right. These kinds of people
were like that, i.e. breakers of the Law of God. I can tell you that I myself
used to be unlawfull in the sight of God also. I used to practice homosexual intercourse. Now that I've accepted Jesus I no longer practice homosexual intercourse, however
I am still homosexual by nature. There is nothing I can do to change the way I feel about other males. Believe me, I've tried. All I can do is become sanctified, which is just another way of saying I'm now one of those who obey God's Laws.
If you feel that homosexuality is something that "develops" as a result of something going wrong with one's sexual development, I would urge you to re-evaluate your feelings. I believe that each and every one of us has within the
potential to disobey God in some way, a potential that can be drawn out by the Opposer and used against us.
For some, this potential exists in the form of alcoholism. Alcoholics will tell you the same thing I am telling you now, there is no such thing as a cured alcoholic. There is only such a thing as an alcoholic who choses never again to drink alcohol.
And it is the same for me. I am a homosexual who chooses never again to fornicate.
Peace through love and understanding
Well if you want to be, thats your decision, I was as gay as you can get,for over 30yrs and every waking thought was gay, and all the memories of sexual encounters ran through my mind like a continous loop, my mind was bombarded by homosexual thoughts day in and day out, so nobody needs to tell me how much it feels like its impossible to change the way I thought, It was my orientation Gay gay gay!
Oh and by the way I was also an alcoholic to the extreme measure of the addiction. but then God reached out to me and offered me salvation through His Son Jesus, and I repented of my sin's and felt all my sin's removed, in fact what was so incrediable about my experience was I never craved another drink of alcohol, and never took one either since 1996,
while I was trying to live a life pleasing to God, I too decided to simply quit homosexuality, yet everyday I burned with lust, and I don't want to go into graffic details but it seemed I was powerless to resist letting daydreams and fantasies playout in my mind, and I would fulfill them in other ways while masturbating, I was still very much a homosexual.......and I prayed and cried and prayed and cried, and it was like God couldn't hear me.
then one day I was reading my bible and I came across a scripture in Romans, where it implied that homosexuality was a delusion, that God gave men over to who rejected the truth and traded it for a lie, making it clear that the whole homosexual delusion was simply a deception a lie! much like anorexia deceives the minds of its victims into believing their fat.
anyway there was another verse, that made the whole thing possible. it was "holding every thought in obedience to Christ". I hadn't been doing that!....I had allowed myself to think about what ever I wanted.
long story short I started rebuking homosexual thoughts, even out loud if I were alone, and started rebuking them as a lie and a deception, at first it was relentless, and it didn't seem to be doing any good, because they just kept coming, but I pressed on not giving up!, if the bible says its a deception then I kept believing it was,
Over time and many failures. I soon found somthing was changing, I would cast out any sexual thought before it had a chance to even play out in my mind, and soon I had the ability to not touch, which also is a deceptive lie, which would always tell me I would feel better if I did it. and every time I would feel terrible like I failed God, and since it always was done with homosexual thoughts, I knew God seen it as a homosexual sin.
Anyway I started to make headway, and kept rebuking every and all homosexual thoughts saying "thats not who I am in Jesus name" I rebuke that thought in Jesus name" I am a new creation in Christ Jesus I rebuke that thought"
after awhile I realized the bombardment had really downsized, I had been getting better and better to filter my thoughts, I was finding somthing else very strange at the same time, girls were starting to have a strange appeal to me that I had never known, and I had began to pray that God would bring me a suitable mate, I kept this up for quite some time, and to my surprise,
my thought patterns changed, my rectum was no longer considered a sex organ (to put it bluntly) and the homosexual thoughts were far and few, mainly mostly memories of the past, and somewhat strangly foreign as if I was watching someone eles, because I had rebuked the desires also,
moving ahead I met a really hot looking woman, who once was deceived as I was, we both have been completely changed, today only once in a while will a memory rise up, and I will rebuke it simply as a past sin, I no longer lust for same sex, in fact I have found hetrosexual sex to be far more enjoyable then homosexuality ever was.
You can continue to hold onto your homosexual orientation if you want to, burning with all the thoughts and desires that never seem to go away, or you can fight to OVERCOME these sinful thoughts and attractions, and take the victory that Christ has already won. the freedom is there, all you have to do is what the anorexic needs to do, stop believing the lie, and eat.
