    this made me think of jesus life. he was persecuted judged beat lied on denied etc... jesus walked and experience life as we do, even dealt with temptation. so he knew the things we would go through, he's the testimony for us and how to walk this life, with all the challenges, because he had to face them as well. so he can relate, that way we couldn't say well he doesnt understand. in fact he OVERSTANDS us because he lived it ,walked it. so when we are delivered and have a testimony we are suppose to share our testimony with those who struggle with the same thing. that way every rebuttal one may have we can shout it down, because we've been there as well, walked it and lived it. so everything one may be going through, we've already experience and can now give them the same tools that helped us. especially things like this, because you'll continuously have to choose GOD.

    Really needed this. I’ve been dealing with this for so long and been praying and doing counselling because I didn’t choose this. I was bullied because I wasn’t like other boys and told that I was “gay” and I believed it. God has been my light through this and I pray that he will continue to be my light and guide me through it.

      @@pastorbri the Bible is very clear that homosexual behavior is a sin. Any sort of sex outside of the confines of marriage is sin according to the Word of God. God doesn't create ANYONE homosexual, bisexual, pan sexual, trans, ECT... It was not a part of His design for mankind. Regardless of where it comes from, it's wrong according to God. Furthermore, many are born with an inclination for drugs, some are born with an inclination for violence. That doesn't make acting on it right. God has a very particular design for man and woman. Anything outside of that is NOT from God. Anyone who stands on biblical principles without compromise is NOT a racist or bigot. You've been indoctrinated by the devil to believe that evil is good and good is evil. Just because someone doesn't accept your lifestyle doesn't mean they hate you. As someone who lived in a homosexual lifestyle for MANY years, the best thing anyone ever did was challenge me on my beliefs and lead me to the Bible. They didn't hate me. They loved me and didn't want to see me perish with the rest of sinful humanity. I pray that God leads you to people who speak truth in love and your eyes are opened. God bless you.

    I recommitted my life to Christ on this past Saturday. One of my greatest struggles has been same sex attraction. I have lost count on how many times I’ve gone back and forth between God and women. I feel that this time it has to be different because time is winding down. Today was particularly difficult because I had to tell my ex gf about my decision. Which meant we would absolutely not be getting back together. I’m grieving that ultimate loss but trying to draw near to God. So I hopped on TH-cam and typed : leaving same sex relationships for God...and your video popped up. You’re certainly being used.
    In one moment I feel like a child whose Father has reprimanded her but in the other I feel comforted by our Father and other sisters and brothers in the faith sharing their stories as you have about a common struggle that at some moments brings up so much doubt. I’m leaning on Gods truth, that he never gives us more than we can bare and that he has a plan and a future for us...certainly better than the one I was attempting to shape for myself. Keep sharing your walk, this video was very comforting.

    man... when you were talking about it not being fair that God wouldn't take the temptation away so you could be of help to someone else down the line and help them see it can be done, I thought that's exactly what Jesus had to do for us. He asked God that the cup of suffering may pass Him by, but it couldn't... He had to endure it just to help all of us down the line. The same Spirit that was in Him, is in us and we continue to do the Lord's work. Jesus was the blueprint.

    Praise God for your words of encouragement sister. before christ I struggled with these temptations of same sex attraction, but when I got saved I no longer had those thoughts at all. Until recently this season these lustful attraction hit me hard and I asked the very same questions you did, but instead of looking to christ and reminding myself of the gospel and how sufficient the grace God provided, I ran towards my feelings. I knew deep down that they would never satisfy me, but I was so depressed and felt alone. I felt like God wasn't listening, so I convinced myself that I must not be saved.

    The Lord desires us to take up our cross daily and follow Him. My homosexuality has led me to Christ and keeps me running to Him and many would argue with that. They think God takes your cross away and delivers you automatically and then you're all good? No. The Father did not take the cross away from Jesus even though he prayed in His human weakness that it might be taken away. God the Father knew it was for the best and Jesus fulfilled His Father's will and His purpose for coming into the world. We must also do the same. Even though we might wish for our burden to be taken away. Much love to you and God bless all who are led to this channel. ❤

    I considered myself bisexual for part of my young adulthood, but even before I became a Christian, I looked closely at the thoughts and emotions that were creating bisexual desires and realized that a small part was lust-based and tied to societal stimuli (in other words, anything with a sexual connotation like fashion models could become the object of my lust because it was convenient) but the remainder related to various psychological challenges. One was low self-esteem/insecurity and the desire to be validated by being the recipient of sexual desire from both genders (the more, the better) or by my competition (other women; and first I was attracted to the opposite body type--voluptuous--because it was my perceived greatest competition, but then I became attracted to women with a similar body type to help affirm my own beauty). Also at play were fears like not being able to find a suitable husband and wanting a backup plan or being found unattractive by all males (now or later) and wanting a backup plan. (Oh, yeah. It might be worth mentioning that a family member told me as a young teenager, "There are no good men. They only want sex." That false teaching surely shaped my behavior!) Once I saw the inner workings leading to my desire for women, that desire fell away, praise God!
    For others, the story may look a little different. A teenage son of someone I somewhat knew began cross dressing because his grandmother was dressing him up as a girl when he visited and was praising him while in the new attire; that affirmation and extra praise led him to want more of it. And I imagine that the same kind of thing could happen at a much subtler level to even infants when the child experiences praise or lack of praise from a parent or caregiver or watches such in others (perhaps siblings) and then makes a faulty conclusion (similar to ignored children concluding that they can never get their needs met which may result in behaviors like setting the bar very low and settling for any partner regardless of how irresponsible and unsuitable for marriage and the raising of children) that may never become fully conscious. And I once watched a documentary on a serial killer who said that his sexuality early in life got connected to death when he saw (something like, I can’t recall exactly) a dead animal in the woods-very sad, but I will say that perversions like this or much less severe/disturbing are to be recognized and corrected rather than affirmed and lived out.
    As a Christian, I would also add that there is a spiritual component to life, and fallen/rebellious angels (1/3 of the total) kicked out of Heaven and now called demons have been given permission by God to test/tempt humanity (including children) to also rebel against their creator. We’ve all been given one life to prove our allegiance by obeying our creator, and sometimes we don’t see the benefits of his designs until we live within them and obey them. Lastly, it’s vital that I point out that there are many thoughts, emotions, and desires that should not be carried out-rage/murder, suicide, theft, adultery, laziness and the refusal to work, etc.

      @jennifereverett6298 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would like to add that I now fully believe masturbation to be a form of sexual sin (fornication if not yet married or adultery if married). God made sex to be a two-person act that, in most cases, has a chance of producing children. Sex with self is not what God designed. My own experience is that the way to overcome that, which can also help to overcome lust of any kind, is to stop thinking about sex outside of the situation when it’s appropriate (in a marriage that is a covenant meaning first for both or to a widow). Whenever any kind of image or thought enters the mind that generates physical desire, turn the thought off and turn your mind to a non-stimulating topic. Keeping that switch in the mind turned OFF will keep sexual desire from surfacing at the wrong time, a time that is outside the will of God. And then a marriage partner can be chosen without lust muddying the water (no touching that is stimulating: no hugs and possibly not even any hand holding during courtship; the focus should be on determining whether the person is a suitable for-life spouse, not on bonding emotionally and physically).

I have had many near-fallen episodes, but I would always remember the covenant. I will share my story one day. I have cried many times about this particular topic. It is wrong and an abomination to God no matter what people say as well as sin in and of itself. Now that I think about it, depression led me to even entertaining these attractions again. Lord help me as I work my way back to His arms. God bless you for the prayers.

He hears your frustration and He sees your heart. You’re not alone in this. After living life our own way for years it takes time for us to adjust. Keep reaching for His hand that he extends to you. No matter what the journey looks like, keep reaching up. Don’t give up 🤍

      @@MadeWhole what im about to say I've never told anyone. I don't know why im telling you but I guess I hope you can help.
      Even if you cant please pray for me.
      This started back at 5 or 6 years old. Around the time I was baptized.
      I didn't know about sex yet i constantly raped myself to Tom and Jerry cartoons like twisted versions of the show.
      Growing up it evolved into versions less pg till I was able to make a deal where it only showed up in winter. Then for years there was silence a false freedom. As it came back I had 2kids by an ex prostitute that I had married because she wanted to rape me with a strapon. She never did and I was following God. A few years passed and we got separated for unrelated reasons.
      Note I have never had friends or friendship. Even in my marriage I've been isolated from humanity.
      In my separation I live in one room where I sleep on the floor spending my days watching the world and talking to God. Currently going to college to become a bounty hunter to give those captured the option of Christ.
      Then about a year and a half ago it came back except it won't leave. Successfully getting me raped twice where the other attempts fail due to Gods intervention but close calls where nothing is penetrated and I regain control and leave.
      When I sleep its nightmares of monsters when I close my eyes its images of evil things puss filled monstrous things i dare not describe. I hear voices asking me to die.
      One of those failed attempts was 2 days
      Ago. I removed anything that could have triggered it from my life.
      To make matters worse I have a lot of reasons to believe the rapture is more than likely this year. Literally 1 week from now to roughly a few months from now.
      I know that sounds batshit crazy. Its not though. I live in hell but talk to God nonstop because of it. Its not fair. But its not about me. Someone said struggling is how you know you're still safe. This sucks so much. Please I'll take anything you throw at me. I am not lost I just didnt know my path to heaven was soaked in hellfire and thorns.

    You have described what I have been going through exactly. I am born-again. washed snow white by the blood of Jesus, and I know He has saved me. I though that by accepting the grace of Jesus who shed His blood on the cross of Calvary to wash me clean and white as snow, would miraculously and supernaturally change me instantaneously by taking away same sex attraction. I have studied the word, and know my authority in the name of Jesus, yet I still struggle with same sex attraction thoughts, and through prayer and Jesus have not acted on them. No matter how much I've prayed for Him to take away those thoughts and desires they remain, and because of that, I have struggled exactly as you have described. Your testimony has brought me a better understanding of what I am facing, and I am not alone. So many times I've doubted my salvation because of this, yet what added to the confusion, is that I so often feel the power and movement of the Holy Spirit in my life. What you have confirmed for me, and I already know this is that the Devil is a liar. But it makes so much difference when someone else articulates that they are experiencing the exact same spiritual dilemma that you are, it hit home so much more than you knowing on your own that this is true. God bless you for giving me a renewed strength to keep fighting the good fight! All praise, honor, and glory to the one and only true living God and all that He has blessed me with.

    Sooooo, I felt led to watch this and also to type this up.
    So when I was in secondary school, I fell into pornography as well as same sex attraction to my best friend later down. Multiple people had also confessed to me (male and female) and during that time I was a Christian. I was always plagued with sexual dreams etc etc.
    I needed deliverance cause a. Said best friend was a witch. B. I was living a life of unrepentant sin. C. I was essentially being peer pressured to accept homosexuality.
    You must repent and walk in that repentance aka staying away from the things that cause you to fall into sin.
    I felt like a imposter, I felt disgusting in my own skin because I knew God was not pleased. I became so wrapped up in sin that I literally told God, "I don't want to repent and I'm not going to lie to you and say I am when I'm not, so you give me a heart of repentance." That was simultaneously the most terrifying rebellious thing I've ever done in my life, BUT, because I said the truth, it was the best thing I ever did. Two weeks later, God broke me and I repented in tears. It was a year and a half journey after that to be fully delivered but it's worth it.
    So to my brothers and sisters in Christ who are afflicted by these things, you do not wrestle against flesh and blood so you must put on your full armour. Read the scriptures, seek his face, draw nearer to Him. Submit fully to him and He will set you free. It's hard, it's tough but it's worth giving it up for Christ, because the spirit of homosexuality is an Anti Christ spirit. It desires to draw you away and destroy you. It's pride, and God hates pride , and pride goes before the fall. It's an abomination and God hates abominations. That's why Jesus Christ died, to set you free. So that when the Father sees you, He sees His son. I pray you receive the deliverance you all need and can live a life according to the will of God. God bless you and I love you all. Keep on fighting with the Word of God as your weapon and you will be set free.

    Amen sister, God bless you very much for your righteous heart and addressing this. Here are some scriptures concerning this also
    Romans 7:21 -25
    [21] I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
    [22] For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
    [23] But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
    [24] O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
    [25] I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
    But for those who fall, remember, when sin abound, grace abound much more, and as our sister said, we are no longer bound to sin, so it has no dominion over us. And since Jesus knows we desire not to sin willfully, His grace will abound over our sins because He knows that at that point it is no longer us but only the flesh that sins. However, those who sin willfully with no repentance and practicing of turning are in error
    Romans 5:20-21
    Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
    But for all who struggle and fall, do not be discouraged, WE ALL DO. That is why Christ died for our sins, but when you give your heart to the Lord and love Him in all of your ways, God wipes away all sins. When you sin, He does not even impute sin unto you, because of the Blood of Jesus He can do that, He cleans you, and when He returns and gives us new glorified bodies with no sin, it will be as doe we have never sinned.
    Romans 4:7-8
    7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
    8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
    GOD BLESS YOU ALL FOREVER IN THE NAME OF JESUS! CAN"T WAIT TO SEE EVERYONE IN HEAVEN! 💝💝💝💝🙏🙏🙏🙏

      It really just comes down to whether we’re going to do God’s will or our own. Since we we were created by God to glorify God (Isaiah 43:7), if we’re making decisions that are not in alignment with His will then we cannot say that we are serving God. Even our relationships are supposed to glorify Him. To serve God truly means to deny yourself, pick up your cross, and follow Him. (Luke 9:23)

      @@tjb6993 so basically some people are bi and some people are gay 😂. It’s ok to be be attracted to the same sex! Stop torturing yourself, no one knows what happens after this life. No one has any solid proof, enjoy your life. Loving someone of the same sex is not hurting anyone.

      Whether you’re heterosexual/lgbtq+ God May/may not take away our temptations. Our battle with our flesh is a fight to the death. God gives us strength and victory to resist temptation. When we fall we can repent and go back to him.
