Battle with Sexuality

[Jeremiah4Christ]

Okay so here's my story. I'm a fifteen year old guy and I've been struggling with homosexuality since I was about 10 and I can't break off from it. I've prayed to God so many times and sometimes I'm crying out to him, literally. After a long period of me being lust free I always fall back into it, and do something I regert, or make a decision I know I shouldn't have made. I don't know how else to deal with something like this. I've referenced myself to the bible so many to help myself possibly stray from my lust, but I can't break off. I don't want to live this way, and I most definately want to get over this as soon as possible.

I need support, advice, prayers. Something to help back me up.

I am praying for you brother. For me what I did was identify what I was trying to hide by looking at pornography and that was a lack of intamacy so I used porn to get that but it didn't help it just made me more empty until I found out that God Love me unconditionally and he lead me to people that would love me unconditionally too. Glory to God!!

I will pray for you.

Do you like girls at all?

Sexual maturity brings a lot of problems with it for many teenagers. That can be compounded in a case like yours where you wonder about your sexual orientation. Two comments

1. Your sex drive is not going to go away. Get used to living with it. That takes time, but God is not going to take away or even temporarily disable your sex drive.

2. Some early sexual feelings can appear homosexual. Quite a few teenagers have some experience of homosexual attraction, but later that changes. Time will tell you more clearly.

Hi Jeremiah4Christ. I have exactly the same problem as you do, and I'm also 15, and started masturbating about 10, so believe me, I am absolutely in your shoes right now.

First of all, if you are masturbating, you should probably try to stop. I know it's hard if you do touch to stop (I haven't been able to go for more than 6 days. But I constantly try).

I know it's hard, but don't give up. Keep on praying, because God understands what we're going through, and remember to keep praying.

Feel free to PM me so we can chat some more. We are in exactly the same kind of situation right now, so I'd encourage you to PM me so we can support each other maybe.

Hey, also, there's this www.settingcaptivesfree.com thing that we could try. I've never tried anything like this before and it may be helpful. I'm about to try it now.

I know how you feel brother. I went through the samething at your age. I'm glad that God changed my life brother and he can change yors too. The masturbation/porn/homosexual acts are always hard to stop. I mean you can't just popup and stop oneday its a long procces that takes god to have you. Also for you AJB4 and Jeremiah I have my own ministry to help teens like me overcome homosexuality. I can't post the link cause in another forum i found out i can't put links to othe websites but if you really want to change your life please feel free to pm me anytime I will give you the link as well.

Thank you, and yeah I do like girls still.

Hi Jeremiah4Christ - I had struggled with homosexuality since I was 10 too, porn and masturbation for longer. I'd really encourage you to read my very long[!] testimony - the top link in my signature - and I hope you'll be blessed by reading about my freedom from it all!

worshipleader2b, thank you for that testimony. It was pretty awesome! I will do the settingcaptives.com thing because I think that it will help me personally (I just did the first lesson last night and it was incredible for a first lesson. I have hope through this course that I can do it)! I'm glad that you are living proof that we can be set free. That obviously means you are a true follower of God. God blessed you and set you free.

ou guys freak me out. There's nothing wrong with being gay. Some of my best friends are gay. I myself am a lesbien. Go out and get yourself some same sex!

 

[Jeremiah4Christ]

Sex is about procreation and unity, not pleasure. Homosexuallity is effectively nothing more than sex for pleasure. There's nothing wrong with loving someone of the same sex. It's when that love becomes sexual that it becomes sinful. You need to understand the purpose of sex in order to break free from homosexuallity. Do your research on Human reproduction, and I think you may find that you will have less interest in fellow guys and more interest in fellow gals.

Remember, sex is about procreation, the continuation of the Human speces. Sex is also a means for husband and wife to unite as a single entity for the duration of the sexual encounter. It's a physical/spiritual union, not a mental union... just to be clear. Pleasure is to ensure that people have sex and continue the Human species. It also helps keep a married couple united. I'm not saying they should go at it like bunnies, but it's an important component to marriage.

Whut is there to be gained from homosexuallity that could not be gained from a regular guy/guy friendship? A few minutes of pleasure and maybe a STD. Is that whut you want from life?

Good, that means you're not gay. Focus on them or on Christ when the temptation hits. Pay more attention to the women and above all, read your Bible and pray. God comes first, and women second, but there is no place in your life for homosexual lust.

I'm getting better you guys. Things are lookin' up.

Glad to hear it, keep up the fight and know that God is with you (Hebrews 13:5).

One thing you can do is flood your mind with family and friends. Could you do it with all them watching? If not, thinking of them should help a lot.

Hey Bruv,
I hear what you are saying. Its a hard thing to deal with espeially as so many churches today brusg the whole thing under the carpet. Most ppl carry on as if they were born saved and sanctified!
I myself have and still is struggling. Each day I give it to God, it gets easier, but at the same time you need to be careful where you go and how you spend your spare time. THe devil is the king of lies and will tempt you in2 internet porn or walkin the street lookin 4 sex.
I am hear for you as I am hear for anyone who has the same struggles as ppl who go through this find it hard to relate to it.
I will b prayin 4 ya.
On my profile u will c where u can read my testamony.

God Bless

Nick
