Hey all,
its been a while since I have posted, been kinda busy when online doing other stuff.
I started out on CF really struggling with sexual sin, masturbation, homosexual porn, and homosexual desires.
By the grace of God, after finally admitting my sins and seeking His help, and leading me to CF, God put so many great tools in my hands for overcoming this.
The first being accountability, and awesome new friends who keep me going, especially one who has become my best friend, God knew.. even before I did that lonliness what a big part of the problem.
Next God gave me some great biblical counsil because of these friends, with the accoutbility keeping me pure for the most part my spiritual life finally started moving forward.
Also went through the Setting captives Free course, specificly "Door Of Hope", which has been a awesome help.
I still struggle with sexual lust sometimes, but not near as bad as it was... not even close really, so that is a great praise... but the great thing is through this growth of trying to "overcome" homosexuality... God has shown me some things that fuel those lusts that we would never think of.
The first being love for God.... wow... you think you love God... then you realize how much you don't... when I really love God... I obey his commandments.
I also realized that proper love for Him.. comes from Him, I had to ask God for, and constantly ask Him to give me the right heart of love for Him.
Also have learned so much by the grace of God how to overcome each battle.. I don't always choose to use Christ strength and don't win every battle, but I know that a year ago... I never could even dream of this kind of progress.
I may never shake the lustfulness of my flesh, especially towards homosexuality... but I do know that I can live by God's grace in victory over each battle.
For anyone who is struggling...and can't imagine any kind of progress at this point... rest assured, God has your back, seek Him, hard, and unrelenting, even when the battles seem to tell you that your losing the war, keep pressing on...its such a bumpy road, but God has plans for a better daily life, one that will hopefully result in a total 100% freedom from homosexual lustful sin... which is what I am hoping for me, but even still.. if you have to suffer with a "thorn in the flesh" ... know God calls and provides for us to live daily in purity despite our nature.
As I pray for you all, that you become strong warriors and destroy the stongholds of sin, I ask you do the same for me.
God bless you all!
1 Corinthians 16:13-14
Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.
