You might believe you were born gay, because you’ve been sexually attracted to the same sex for as long as you can remember. Maybe you think you were born gay because you liked things that are soft and pretty but your a guy. Or you were a tom boy growing up. Maybe you were kind of a feminine boy and were teased or kind of masculine girl.
We understand at Come As You Are and felt the same way, until we discovered the truth.
God and Satan are real.
Psalm 14:1 Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good!
Most of us believe in God! Stastically, 96% of Americans believe. Well, so does satan and the demons.....and they tremble. It says in the Bible in
You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!
Satan has deceived many people into believing that we have no control over your homosexual feelings. He wants you to believe that it is just an alternative lifestyle and that people had been born homosexual and we can't help the way we were born.
The lie that satan wants us all to believe! he blinds us so that we can’t see homosexuality for what it really is - another type of sexual sin.
satan uses this lie to keep us from wanting to discover Gods plan for our lives. If we think the lie is true, why would we try and seek the truth?
Now, the whole world is buying into the lie!
People tend to believe lies that reinforce their own selfish personal beliefs.
God has given us the choice. Why would a loving God want His creation to be like pupets? Would you want to make children love you? No, you want them to freely love you and run to you with open arms because it would'nt mean anything if we made them love us.
Because of the sinful nature of the earth, we are born with a predisposition to sin and sinful activities. Look at it this way, children do not have to be taught to lie, or take another child’s toy or to fight with each other. It comes naturally to them because of their sinful nature. They do have to be taught to tell the truth, not steal and to get along with each other.
God created everything, including us. He created us in His own image.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:27-28 So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Then God blessed them and said “Be fruitful and multiply….”
God is holy.
Lev 11:44 For I am the Lord your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy…
Because God is holy, he is also morally pure and He can’t tolerate sin.
So let’s put this all together. God created us in his own image, we were created to multiply, God is morally pure and can’t tolerate sin.
If God is morally pure and can’t tolerate sin, and because He created us in his own image the logical conclusion is that there is no way he created us gay.
So if God didn’t create you gay why do you feel like you were born gay.
Besides the "feelings" we may have had or acted out as children, Let’s also take a look at Generational Curses.
Throughout the Old Testament there are verses indicating that God places the iniquities of the fathers on the father’s children to the third and fourth generation.
Exodus 34:6-7 The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, Keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation.”
So what is iniquity? Iniquity is a motivation towards sin which comes from inside of us. In reference to sexual sin it can be referred to as lust or immorality.
Does your family have a history of generational sexual sin. If so you could be under a generational curse.
Satan wants authority over your life and if you’ve been living a homosexual lifestyle you’ve been living under his authority. Satan has created within you a sexual lust to engage in activities God has forbidden for you to engage in. He has also lied to you and convinced you that your sexual desire for the same sex is natural; that you can’t control your desires or that you won’t go to hell for your sins. Maybe he’s even tried to convince you that God and hell don’t exist.
Ephesians 2:1-3 Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil-the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else.
Romans 6:16 Don’t you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living.
God created you to be holy. If you’re living a homosexual lifestyle you have made specific choices in your life, influenced by your sinful nature and thoughts you have accepted from Satan, to live a lifestyle you were not created for.
You can decide to leave the lifestyle. The choice is yours to make. Are you going to live the life Satan has entangled you in or are you going to choose to live your life for God?
Deuteronomy 30:19-20 Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. This is the key to your life…
