I gave my life to Christ a few years back, it has been a great journey, discovering who I am, who my creator is and the purpose of my life on this earth, however one thing has been pulling me back! These same sex attractions! I know and believe in my heart that it is wrong and it is a sin! Sexual perversion. ( and i am sure you will agree with me that the reason why you know it's wrong is not only from the bible but you feel it's wrong deep inside you) I do believe that God has delivered us all from sin through the shed blood of Jesus Christ but it's a battle in the mind not being able to comprehend this reality and allowing it to manifest in our lives, it's this battle I have been struggling with an sometimes losing. One minute I believe the next minute these feelings rush in and I let go and give in! (To porn and masturbation)
I have never shared this with anyone in my life! I have kept it to myself (for obvious reasons) but I think it's time I find people with the same struggle share experiences, relate to one another, help and pray for one another on our journey! I think maybe that's one of the reasons it stays in because we have no one to confess to and cry out for help, because of the fear of being rejected, or mocked. I have never heard a minister preach on it!! But don't they just love talking about adultery/fornication/addictions, we really are in need of help but don't have anyone to turn too but God. However at the same time I feel like God is helping me but I just don't understand or I am missing it somewhere! (I refuse to blame God or accuse him of neglecting or ignoring me/us)
I believe we can be made right again! I too want to be that normal man God created me to be! Have a wife and children, a normal life basically.
I am looking for fellow brothers and sisters who share this struggle, who are believing in God for deliverance! Who want to stick with God to eternity, who refuse to be defeated by this foe!!! Who will go on even though these feelings maybe present but just need the power to not act upon them, who want to live a normal life and regain the right orientation and attractions, Who want a Christian spouse who will understand and help them with their struggle ( because let's face it not a lot of men or woman we can try date can put up with or really understand our struggle) and raise God fearing children!
I have never really had a friend I could genuinely relate to, one I could call and share my struggles with, one I could call to pray for me when I am tempted or vice versa! One who would share a scripture with me or go out and have fun without feeling judged
If you are interested in being friends inbox me, so that we can help each other on this journey! Even those who have succeeded, I don't think it's enough to post on this forum then end it there, I think as we build friendships we can always help each other in times of need, as I am sure there are some of you who feel lonely when it comes to this struggle. God is able and he is a miracle worker!!! Without such encouragement from one another we are bound to give up! Thank you for your time
