• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

just understand that "being" something is not wrong. Work towards the model of purity that Jesus calls us all to be. Everyone should be doing that not just homosexual/bi people.

This does mean that you shoudl not act on urges that lead into sin yes, and if it happens don't eat yourself over it. Ask for forgiveness and work towards making it better so it doesn't happen again.

wow, didn't think I would ever say this outloud.... I have some struggles in this area, I have never acted on it, but I have wanted to.... I have even had some very vivid dreams which made me wake up very amorous . That pleased my husband, but I never told him about my dream. I confess this leaves me confused, but I know to act on it would be sin, more than one...

Romans says to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Scriptures say that you are a new creation in Christ.

How does all of this happen? Accepting Christ as your saviour is the first step. Then you spend time everyday in God's word, and learn His will for you life. Will it happen instantly? For some people instantaneously. For others, it takes time. If you slip and sin, you confess it and repent, rejoicing that scriptures say in 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us those sins and cleanse us of all unrighteousness."

Get into the Word.

Harvest USA has information that may help you.

God bless.

I'm heavily bisexual and I want to change. Please pray for me.

Janus,

You are getting a lot of info here. Don't believe any of it unless it is supported in scripture. No where in the word is it hinted at or stated that you should just accept sin (any sin) in your life.

Have you accepted Christ? If not do it now. We all need Him as our helmet of salvation in the battle against sin.

I am so proud that you admit the sin and you want out! :clap: Yeah, that's the first step. You know what you just did? You just kicked the enemy in the gut and he'll come back hard! Get ready for war cause baby that's what you got on your hands now.

Put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10 - 18) Seek wisdom in the word so you will KNOW the truth. Have faith that Jesus will save you from this. Memorize scripture relating to homosexuality. Let God be your fortress cause we don't stand a chance without Him!

Confess this sin not just on the forum but also verbally to God.

You need a body of believers to be with. There is strength in numbers.

Repent fully and turn fully away from homosexuality. Leave any relationship that is homosexual. Get away from homosexuals. Alcoholics have to do the same thing. Just get away from the temptation and influence.

It is going to be tough. Jesus is tougher.

God loves you. Jesus loves you. I love you, too.

I do pray for you, of course, but one must be warned: You can not cure nor change sexual orientation, although you can choose not to act on sexual impulses.
Jesus has the power to turn our lives upside down! He can change your heart, your desires, and your nature.

Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desire of your heart. Psalms 37:4

No one is or ever has been created homosexual, or bisexual. That is a lie. People are born with a sin nature due to the fall of man. Life circumstances , and the evil in our sinful hearts, and temptation from the evil one can lead us into sexual bondade. But Jesus died to give us a new divine nature and to break the power of sin over our lives. Who the Son sets free is free in deed. My life is a true example of the saving power of God. Does the world look tempting? Yes, but Jesus Christ look alot better. Confess you sins to God and he will set you free. His love is better that life, and his love for you is great. I will be praying for you.

I dont agree. You can change anything if its through Christ. Read Phil. 4:13 and it will tell you that "You can do all things through Christ who gives me strength" as long as you want to change you want to make that effort you can!

Being bisexual is not wrong. in fact every HUMAN BEING have bisexual tendencies at some point of their lives, usually on their early teens, (this is a psychological fact), and it´s normal.

How do you figure? Christ made us under the image of him? He made us to love the opposite sex. I personally have NEVER had bisexual tendacies...I dont understand what you mean by this.

I have to agree with madison 1101. I am an ex-bisexual male. I was involved with all sorts of very serious sexual addictions and an 100 percent good to go now. It was the hardest thing for me to get out of. Every meeting I would go to I met someone. Every time I talked to someone I was either condemed or hit on. It was rough. All is level at the foot of the Cross. You must first and foremost take it to HIM. Once you do this you need to remember that it is no longer yours, it is now His. He will help you. The second thing you need to know is YOU cant stop it. So God has a plan of action for you. 1 Cor. 7:5 says that we have a lack of self control when it comes to sexual temptation. So we need to Flee from it (1 Cor. 6:18). If we dont, we may very well fall into the trap. Everytime you feel that temptation, get into the word, Pray, activate your weapons of warfare. Take it to Jesus, he knows your burdens. You will not be tempted behond what you can handel. He died for the sexual sin I commited and for the sexual sin you commited. Nothing is greater than the blood. Get yourself in an accountability group. It is very important that you stay accountable for your actions. Find a group of people you can trust and wont push you back into the lifestyle. that was the greatest help to me by any person. The accountability. It is no longer covered, but out in the open and you can build on rock (Jesus) then. It is a long hard road. But ultimately, it is freeing. Then you may minister to someone who is struggling with this very dsame issue. In fact you have already ministered to me. Thank you Janus for giving me the chance to be used. Im here if ya need me. Shoot me an email.

Love ya,
Jason

My advice would be (rather ironically) - don't listen to people's advice
The last thing you need right now is people telling you that who you are is wrong and what you do is wrong. You can only hope that God will send you in the right direction.
People say things that they believe to be right (like "no one is born bisexual" or whatever) which can be proved wrong by science. Science can also be proved wrong by religion. Most things can be proved wrong with a new theory. How do we know that Galileo was right? He had facts and did experiments and proved his results, but how can we prove that they were right? We cannot prove anything.

Go with what your heart is telling you. Jesus loves you and I can presume that He would not want you to struggle with self acceptance (but of course I dont know that). He accepts you for the unique person you are. My basis for most things that I do is that God loves me more than anyone else in the world ever could and He will be with me for ever. He will be with you too.
