I need some prayers, please.

[KTskater]

Okay, I started struggling with homosexual thoughts about 2 years ago. I prayed and talked with former lesbains and homosexuals, and then after what seemed like an eterity of suffering, God finally helped me end the thoughts. That was at the beginning of the school year.
I've started to have thoughts again every once in a while, but always pushed them away, and simply forgot about them. But in the last 3 weeks I've started to have dreams and thoughts about other girls again.
I have a boyfriend, we've been going out for about 3 months now, and he's an awesome guy, totally and obsolutly committed to me. But as these feelings start to creep back into the picture, my feelings for him have a begun to disapate.
Please pray for God to deliver me, and for me to reisist Satan's attempt to pull me from grace again. Also any prayer for my boyfriend and I would be appriciated.
I know this is overcomable...

You need to pray for God to give you a hatred for those things he hates. I know this is a simple idea but it works. If God created your mind then he knows exactly the way it works. Anytime you have a thought like that you need to first hold that throught captive to Christ (2 cor 10:5), then pray each time you have it that God would change that fuzzy sin feeling into a feeling of disgust.

Thanx for the encouragement. I've been trying very hard, but I can't seem to focus. Some days it feels like the feelings are gone and as soon as I let my gaurd down and relax, they come again. It just so confusing to me, after I got over it the last time I was pretty sure it had just been a phase. Which made perfect sense, I had always (always being since I was about 9 or 10) been attracted to guys and only a short time I ago did I realize I was having thoughts about girls.
I also have had trouble hating it, because after I stopped having feelings I became friends with a few bisexual girls, and I feel as though I'm hating them. I would never do anything with another girl, though.
I dunno, please keep praying for my deliverance.
Once again, thanks.

13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, Philippians 3:13-2114 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-2115 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. Philippians 3:13-2116 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. Philippians 3:13-2117 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. Philippians 3:13-2118 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Philippians 3:13-2119 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) Philippians 3:13-2120 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Philippians 3:13-2121 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. Remember this..........ALWAYS SEEK God's word when in doubt....

I don't think it will actaully. If God trully causes me to hate what he hates then I will hate the sin (which is no part of me) and not myself. They sin is a mainfestation of sinful nature, it is something that can combated.

Things have gotten a lot worse. But for some reason I feel like I can fight it again. I think it's because I've got closer to God again. I've talked with my boyfriend about it, he supports my efforts completely (I have no clue how I lucked out in getting a guy like him, I guess it proves that God looking out for me). He wants me to talk with my youth pastor again, so I think I'm going to.
If I could get over it once, I can do it again.

Fight it, and never give up. God will bring you through it. Never lose sight of that. He knows that you want to overcome sin. Sin is sin, and it can creep into any life, unexpectedly. Satan is sneaky, and he love to pick on Christians more than anyone.
Just keep your thoughts on God, and try to stay close to Him. Whenever sinful thoughts pop into my head and I start obsessing over it (mild OCD) I try to get closer to God. Amazingly, every time, He helps me out. He has never left me alone, no matter what the sin may be.

You have a very mature attitude toward this, and from what it sounds like, a very supportive boyfriend. That's a treasure, right there. I hope I can find a Christian guy whose just as wonderful.

But like I said, keep on talking to God. Stay close to Him. He'll bring you through this and into the sunshine again.

Some younger girls seem to face this issue. Most often it is just a product of sexual maturing and gets sorted out with time and development. A whole bunch of new feelings and sensations can take a bit of time to work through and integrate into your life.

Most teenagers have quite a lot of sexual thoughts. That's pretty normal. You have a boyfriend. That sounds pretty normal too. Allowing those thoughts to worry you rather that seeing them just as part of yoru developing sexuality will get you more anxious than you need to be, and that will only make it so much harder for you to just go on developing as a normal teenager.

I have faith that you can do. I know you can cause God doesn't make mistakes at all and another reason I know you will make it is cause I went through that same exact samething that you are going through. I on the other hand was deep I was in guy relationships time after time but Man the Grace of God is Awesome and Powerfull. I know you can do it God will help you just pray to him and when the thoughts come in rebuke it even if your in the middle of school. Eventually it will disapper also you should try setting captives free and take there door of hope class. I'm telling you God is awesome lean on to him he will help you even when your in school.

l will be praying for you don't worry you might not be a lesbein some girls go through a stage when they are younger. Your only 14 so you might not even be a lesbein most people go there fazes at a young age. Usually when your 17 or 18 you know what sexualty you are. Don't worry girl things will be better soon just give it some time ok hun?
God bless you

Like Johnny said...at your age, you're beginning to get a understanding of your sexuality and Satan likes to throw in perverse thoughts to trip you up. Most homosexuals believe that they were born that way. Fact is...they weren't. They just decided to listen to Satan. I've had homosexual thoughts when I was your age. I just pushed them away, knowing that it was wrong and as I grew older, they went away. Don't let Satan tell you you're a lesbian and you were born that way and you should indulge. You're not. God didn't create you that way!
