Truly, the spirit of homosexuality is very strong and many that are bound have been bound for many, many years. Earlier on this thread, it was mentioned that many that have fallen into this sin were molested as children.
Sadly, that is reality for many and injustice of that act becomes a very damaging obstacle to overcome. My heart grieves for those that except the lie that there is no other way but to walk in utter darkness and depravity.
I know that there are many that have been completely delivered from homosexuality and they have become living testimonies for those that want a way out.
Unfortunately, because of the stigma associated with this sin, they aren't at liberty to share their testimonies; therefore, the example of grace is hidden from those seeking their healing.
The word of God clearly states that there is hope for those struggling with homosexuality.
Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers will not inherit or share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived(misled): neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who participate in homosexuality.
Nor cheats (swindlers and thieves), nor greedy graspers, nor drunkards, nor foulmouthed revilers and slanderers, nor extortioners and robbers will inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God.
And such some of you were (once). But you were washed clean (purified by a complete atonement for sin and made free from the guilt of sin), and you were consecrated (set apart, hallowed), and you were justified (pronounced righteous, by trusting) in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Holy Spirit of our God. I Corinthians 6:9-11 The Amplified Bible
Just as many of us once fit in one or many of these categories we have the assurance that Jesus washed us clean and now we are no longer slave to those sins.
Much blessings to you. |
The hope, of course, is for those who repent of their sins and put their trust in Christ.
Where I would disagree with your post is with this whole notion that homosexuality is a "spirit." Unless the Bible specifically identified it as a spirit (and it didn't), there is no spirit of homosexuality or (as some have said outside this forum) a demon of lesbianism. We tend to give too much power and credit to Satan and his minions.
