Well I know there is a lot more to every single homosexual story (yet find it interesting that almost every single gay person has been sexually molested or has had some type of childhood trauma in their past (check this out for yourself)- and actually now, it is almost becoming trendy for girls in certain high schools! Trendy! But come on now, when you think about the human body – male and female’s were designed to “fit together” – and when things are aligned right – that fit is designed to be the superglue that binds the oneness can be the most refreshing part of life – a physical union that takes years to cultivate (Larry Crabb talks so eloquently about it in his book Men and Women Enjoying the Difference).

Being gay has to be one of the biggest assaults against a person from the enemy. I once heard a pastor mention that it is part of the enemy’s agenda for numerous reasons – because it screws up the ultimate joy they could experience – and so often the seeds are planted when they are young – with trauma – porn exposure – and with just being around and exposed to sexually charged jokes, movies, pictures, stories, etc. (demonic….).

So I agree – we HAVE to love our gay brothers and sisters – and I think we do that as the Lord leads. There may be a time to speak up and confront, a time to cut ties, or a time to just love who God has put in our circle – and see how/when He opens any doors to share Christ. Now not to open a can of worms here, but it confuses me when certain Christians argue about gay marriage (even though if I were a pastor I would not be able to do their wedding). But instead of arguing about this – We should be witnessing to them and sharing Jesus – not telling them they have to get married a certain way. If they marry heterosexual and are still unsaved is that any better? For some people it is. Do people sleep a little more comfortable because that unsaved couple is one man and one woman? They are unsaved, but whew, at least their sexual preferences are more in line. What? Our focus should be to first love them (I agree with the many that said this) and to share Christ’s love as He leads…. because homosexuality is a spiritual issue and the only thing to break the bondage that goes with it – is the blood of Jesus Christ.

There are more and more emerging stories of folks that have been delivered and set free from homosexuality. Back in 1988 I worked a man named Gill – he was a former homosexual man that found Jesus and was now telling everyone the good news!! He found the truth of Jesus and said he found the deep longing he had searched for in all the wrong ways.

Any path is empty and void without the Lord in one’s life – and it starts there – it starts with having Jesus – and directing our brothers and brothers and sisters and sisters to the Word of God – and then praying for them throughout the day – because it is a spiritual issue (that is especially strong in this culture) – and issue that can only be addressed by the power of Jesus Christ.

And so when people reveal to me that they are struggling with gay desires and gay pulls, well if they stay immersed in the secular stuff of the world, it will only feed and breed their thoughts – I remind them -of Ephesians 6:12
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” and then I ask the Lord to show me how to pray for them, what my role may be in their life – and that God would put the laborers across their path that they need.

Thanks again Dr. Somerville….
