I couldn't bring myself to ask my church friends...

I think I'm gay. There I said it. Wasn't easy to type that (on a Christian forum, too). Pretty obvious why I'm pleading for prayers. If you can give me advice, I'd be very thankful.

major,
i understand your situation. i have a daughter who is in that lifestyle. i can tell you, with firm assurance, that you were not born that way. G-d made you and he loves you. i have a website with several links to websites who can offer you help.

our support group i lead will pray for you tonight.

with all of G-d's love,
mark

thankyou mark. I've asked jesus to come into my heart, but I don't know if he will come if I haven't repented properly. I still pray tho. I hope things are okay with you and your daughter. You sound like a kind and understanding person. Like my mum, she's doesn't understand the whole gay thing but she's doesn't hate me for it.

You are in my prayers. God understands more than you will ever know. Please give it over to Him and walk with Him in faith knowing that He alone will give you the strength you need to do the right thing. God bless you Major.

God does hear your prayer for salvation and forgiveness and if you will let HIM, HE will come in and help you break loose from this lifestyle. You are right, that you can not continue in it and walk with God, but HE is there to help you get deliverance from it.

My son was caught in it as a teen. I was praying and concerned about it. One weekend he came home from college bouncing in like a Gay person and it made me so upset that I started fasting and praying and vowed not to quit until he was set free.

That weekend that spirit just lifted off him and the other guy involved. Neither one desires the same sex anymore. The other guy is walking with God, my son has yet to get that far. He is making plans to marry a girl he is in love with. He now says it is just a choice. He is not quite aware of the spritiual battle that was waged for his deliverance.

Father, help this person to be free from these desires and to the drawing of this lifestyle. Give him information and help to deal with this problem and help him to be strengthened in his walk with you and in the knowledge of the word.

I suggest that you read something from the Word daily. The Word is said to wash you. It does do a supernatural work in your heart as you feed your soul on it.

Bless this person Lord.

thnx every1 for your prayers, support, and non-judegementality.

thankyou for your concern ,crossrunner. i have been offline recently because it's my end of year exams now. i've prayed tho. asking for God to take root in me and nurture the feelings that reflect HIS feeling. i always feel sincere when i ask this. i hope i was honest -- even on the subconsious levels i'm unaware of. at church someone told me that Jesus will come into you even if you open the door a little. i need that to be true. i'm afraid that satan is in me or something and i don't know it. that god can't come because haven't asked strongly enough, or aren't worthy. it's not a self-esteem issue, just a -i don't know if God is in my life- sorta feeling.

i've been wanting to reply to many ppl on this forum, but feel unqualified to do so as I haven't studied His Word. honestly, whatever i may say now are only arguments that i've heard from others. i don't really have my own convictions from life experience. i mean, except of course my childish ideals about love, philanthropy and all that. too childish perhaps.
bare with me while i try to grow a bit more. uni will be out of the day soon. hopefully i can go through a lot of reading/studying this summer hols (winter for most of you).

i'm so grateful to everyone here. words fail me all the time.

Matthew 18

2He called a little child and had him stand among them. 3And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.


God bless you dear one.
I know that you are seeking Him and the Devil is running scared!! Continue to pray, ask questions and seek Jesus. He loves you and He knows your pain and your uncertainty. Just trust Him.

But there is so much confusion about sexual ideantity. I think a lot of young people turn to this lifestyle simply because they hear so much about it on tv and are looking for signs in themselvs. The power of suggestion is immense. Of course I'll pray for you. And maybe we can work out some of those issues on why you feel you're gay. In all likelihood, you're not.

Grace and Peace to you.

You're in my prayers too, major. I havent ever had anyone ask for help like this before. Others can give better advise than I can. The only way I can help is to tell you taht you are who you are and no one has the right to judge you for ANYTHING, is God. And I want you to know that you are in my prayers.

Hi Major~ I can see you have some mighty prayer warriors in your corner.

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (I John 1:9).

We already have the victory. He has overcome the world.

I'm praying for you.
Peace and Love

major,
hey i know what you are feeling.... im a christian...but last year i felt like i was BI!!! i was soooo ashamed of it that i couldnt tell any of my friends b cuz they would look down on me because they are also christians... i thought they wouldnt understand and it would make them feel ....i felt like i couldnt tell anyone that i had nobody to trust not even my youth leaders...it is definetly the worst thing i have ever gone through! but i did tell God and i know that he is the only reason why i am not bi now... I really dont think i ever was....What i think is the devil was telling me that i was bi to bring me down. He got me isolated. i felt like i didnt fit in and i got depressed. then i got even more depressed i never felt good about myself. All i have to say is that God didnt make you that way. And he can bring you out of it. He loves you And he doesnt wish for you to be gay. Dont let the devil foool you. And no matter what know that God is always there for you. Even when i doesnt seem like it. You can private message me if you want if you need to talk to someone. i will pray for you!!!

I'll be adding you to my prayer list.

I have an adoptive son that believes he is gay. I love him so much and hate to see what is happening in his life. I am so scared for him. I support him and love him. Spiritually he knows where I stand and he knows he is loved. He tells me "mom, I know it is wrong, but I can't help myself". He can, its called deliverance.

I know this because there was a time in my life when I fell. Hard. I praise the Lord for his deliverance of me from this lifestyle. I've been married now for 16 years. God answers prayers.

Many hugs :hug: and prayers :prayer:
