Asking for prayer

[thebranch0fjesse]

Hey everyone. I'm 24 years old, married to my wife for 4 years and have 2 boys.

In 05 I had a dream that I was gay (nothing physical in the dream just a subconscious feeling that I was) and in the dream I knew it was wrong and had to repent and tell my wife. Well thank God, I woke up, but it really affected my thoughts for several months, thinking within myself if I were that way. In the past I had minor thoughts happen before but never thought anything of it.

Anyway, recently I had a dream again with that I were gay with physical activity, and I woke up and it was horrible, and I had to think have I ever done this?

The enemy has really been attacking me with these thoughts recently. Part of me knows the truth of God, but then I still question why is this happening and the devil is throwing attacks. It is really depressing, because I love my family so much.

If you all could pray for my strength and mind renewal, and just protection from the enemy for me and my family, I would appreciate it greatly. Blessings.

Hi, hugs, I have had those types dreams before also.

Even if you dreampt of another woman and sex, it would probably trouble you the same.

I know dreams stay with us and when we have continuous dreams on something, they stay with us more.

Like you said you believe it from satan, and so we know then it's a lie.

Give it all to God by taking troubling thoughts about the dreams captive to Christ.

I will pray for you.

Hi there! *blessings and good morning*

I just wanted to say that everything in our dreams is a symbol / representation of something indicative in ourselves. If you have this dream of being gay, it does not necessarily mean you are gay, but what is the dream trying to tell you? What is your subconsious mind trying to tell you?

If you find yourself struggling with same-sex attraction while you are awake, keep in mind that there have been others who struggle with this and have never acted on it ... it's a struggle and we can overcome in Christ. Also remember to keep your wife in the loop about what's going on ... she is your helper. Praise the Lord. What more power can one have than the power of a praying wife / husband!

I know of a pastor and his wife who slip a pocket bible beneath their pillows before they go to sleep.

We all will struggle with impure thoughts but we must submit our mind and thoughts to Jesus Christ before we allow them to grow, fester, and become action.

One last thought ... After reading a book called "Coming out of Homosexuality" by Bob Davies, I have learned that it's all about issues. Why am I, Gaby, a lesbian? Or why do I, Gaby, have same-sex attration? I know I was not born this way, though I did think that for a very long time until I met Jesus. It's all about our issues. I have learned that for me it was about building an emotional bond / trust with another woman since there did not seem to be an emotional bond with my mother ... and now I can understand why I would get involved with women when I take things into perspective ... But what about you? Ask God to reveal this to you.

I will be praying for you. I hope this helps.

In Christ,
