I received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior when I was a teenager.

But only recently, God in His infinite wisdom, has made me realize at the deep root of my heart, that I am to leave homosexuality.

God never intended for anyone to be gay.

Please pray for me. The Battle is the Lord's. Honestly, I asked God to deliver me on 3 specific times that thoughts of handsome hunks entered my mind, and rebuked the spirit of lust and spirit of homosexuality to leave me at that moment, in Jesus' name.

You know what happened??

The lustful desire left me those 3 times, in a matter of seconds!! I was so shocked and amazed!

I never committed myself, romantically nor sexually to another man. But through the years, even as I was a faithful Christian in church, I have had these lustful desire for other men who are handsome hunks.

But the good news is, Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. Jesus has overcome everything at the cross.

Please pray for me in this battle, defending from victory. Does anybody else have the same struggle?

God bless.

This is good to hear, and very good to know you have found the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior ---make Him the Lord of your life and real love. I have a paper which might prove a help to you, if interested. Don't look back, and stay in communion with the Lord Jesus daily, and read your Bible daily.

God bless you. I have struggled with same-sex attraction and God has helped to protect me and show me a healthy masculinity, one that wasn't abusive. I have been raped by a woman and two men. The woman kidnapped me. She made me feel like a man would not want me anymore. The kidnapping lasted many months and I have been trying to heal from it. The men, her friends, hurt me a lot too. She was a very masculine woman and was extremely abusive, that is why I began to be attracted to feminine women. God is helping to heal my wounds. I pray he heals your wounds too.

Wow. Beyond thank you, Bluerose31. Your post is so powerful. And so is your testimony. Bluerose31, I SENT YOU A PRIVATE MESSAGE.

Yes, God is healing my wounds. I have been asking the Holy Spirit to reveal to me all of my wounds which resulted to these homosexual desires.

These are the wounds revealed to me so far:
Gender detachment - 1. I detached from my father because he was not around most of my childhood days - he worked as a lawyer in a city far from home. (But he was loving when he was around. But he was reactive whenever he saw my effeminate moves).

2. I detached from my brother because he has been verbally and physically abusing me since childhood, and my mom tolerated this because she was scared of him.

3. I detached from the boys back in childhood because I grew up sickly and I could not play sports well.

4. I was bullied, primarily in sixth grade and 1st year high school.

5. I grew close to my mom and sister, so I identified more with them.

So probably there's this need for masculine identification and brotherly love from men that I crave deep inside.

Please pray for the Holy Spirit to reveal everything, as I have not seemingly discovered yet the complete picture.

Hi friends in the Lord!

Much has indeed happened. God is truly more amazing and powerful than we can ever imagine. He is after all the God who created the whole universe!

Through this warfare - which of course includes Living in the Spirit, soaking in God's Word, sharing to you guys, repeatedl viewing testimonies of homosexuals redeemed and reformed by Jesus Christ, praying, and avoiding any form of pornography - I realized that the men I am lusting for have definitely decreased!! Praise God!!

There are now only very very few men that arouse me recently. And for those men that I notice, they would have to be very goodloooking and have a great body for me to notice them, and yet it's no longer a guaranty that I would be aroused by them!

Another thing I noticed, I am discovering that I am finding women to be attractive now.

Honestly, there are two young women in the church that I am now attracted to (Meaning, I can envision that I can marry any of them).

And lastly, I find myself telling God that I want to marry a woman! Wow! This was not me at all... I didn't desire marriage!

Praise the Lord Jesus! Praise God!

@ BlueRose31, I think I have watched your testimony in youtube. Your story is very familiar. Have you appeared in television?

@gennypearl, yehey!! My kababayan! Are you in Metro Manila as well? Oh, but we have to stick to English here for the benefit of our brothers and sisters. How are you?

Okay, BlueRose31 I do not know how to message someone.. can you teach me? By the way, belated happy birthday to you!!!!
If I'm not mistaken, you need a certain minimum number of posts before you can send a private message. I don't know what that number is, but it's more than 7. (Of course, this may have all changed by now...)

Ok. So brothers and sisters, you already know my story.

One thing more was revealed to me though, after countless times of prayer.

A memory came flashing back. Sometime I decided to forget for so many years.

When I was a child, I used to visit the parsonage and would sometimes find kids there, or the pastor's children. Sometimes I just wanted to sneek in for curiosity's sake.

One time, I did go inside the parsonage. No one else was there. Not even the pastor. This was one Sunday afternoon. No one was there, EXCEPT for one of the elders of the church.

He motioned for me to approach him. I really didn't know why, but as a child, I just obeyed what he said. And he pulled me to him and he began kissing me in the lips, passionately. I was so shocked that I was motionless; he pulled my body to him.

Then, HE realized what he was doing, and he let go of me. And he left.

I was so shocked and so confused.

But after that, I decided to forget it. I chose to think that it was nothing. Really. It was just a kiss in the lips.

So my question is: Did this in any way affect why I struggled with homosexual desires? What the elder did to me - did this constitute child molestation?

When this was revealed to me recently, I decided to forgive the man, even if I don't know the effects of what he did to me honestly.

Please help me and tell me your take on this. Thank you.

Please help me and tell me your take on this. Thank you.

I'm not homosexual and have never been tempted by the impulse, whatever the cause. But I am going to tell you someone else's testimony, for what it's worth. But before I do, I claim that on the night my own father died, he appeared in my room. We argued and talked, but it was obvious that he could see something that awed him, and at other times made him deeply ashamed so that he tried to hide his face behind his hands while appearing absolutely mortified, but I could only see him.

At the end of the episode he turned to my right, cried "No!", then again, more urgently "NO!", and then he just screamed in absolute terror. Then promptly disappeared. I'm only saying this because I don't have any trouble believing the following testimony, which also involves a visual spiritual visit, but of a different sort.

I'm Catholic now, but I used to be Presbyterian. Way back in my Presbyterian days, we had a visit from a representative of a group helping homosexuals to kick the habit, so to speak.

A former homosexual gave his testimony. He said he'd been involved in everything going, in Sydney which is the homosexual capital of Australia. In his own words he said, "You name it, I did it." He also said he and others used to stand on street corners in Kings Cross, the red light district, and tell each other how they'd kill Fred Nile, a prominent Christian morals crusader.

But somehow Christ got to him, ironically through one of Fred Nile's agencies, and he tried to give it up. He was successful for a while, but eventually he fell. He then told us about the spiritual episode.

He said that he had set everything up for a second suicide attempt. The first one wasn't really serious, but this one was. He was in despair and wanted to end it, and he had everything ready to go. But just as he was about to pull the pin, he claimed Christ materialised in the corner of the lounge room, moved towards him and somehow just merged.

He said from that time on he never even had to struggle with the temptation. He'd married, and had a couple of kids with a woman who accepted him for what he had been. His wife and sons were in the church when he gave his testimony, so she clearly knew the story. They were probably too young to understand what was going on, but they'd probably be in their thirties now, and hopefully not following in their father's original footsteps.

It's probably 30 years since I heard that story, but I remember it, partly because I very rarely hear stories where someone has materialised in the room, as my father did in mine in January 1979, or as Christ did in the homosexual's home at whatever time and date it happened to be. It must have been a few years beforehand, since his sons were young children at the time, and obviously it would have been before he married. But I don't know the date when the event occurred.

So that was someone else's story, which may or may not be of use to you.
