IS THERE A SUCH OF THING AS A CHRISTIAN SEX & PORN ADDICT?

HOW CAN I HELP A CHRISTIAN FRIEND/MINISTRY WORKER WHO IS A SEX ADDICT?    

By Synthia Esther

If  you have a friend who is suppose to be a Christian and is an  active, nonchalant sex addict who comes to you for help, lead him or her  to the word of God.  I have often heard unrepentant addicts claim the  grace of God as a cover for their repetitive sin.  God's word offers a  clear response to their life choices.  "This is the message we have  heard from Him and declare to you:  God is light; in Him there is no  darkness at all.  If  we claim to have fellowship with Him yet walk in darkness, we lie and  do not live by the truth." - 1st John 1:5-6.   Christians are to walk in  the newness of Christ's spirit and revelation (Romans 6:3-5).  

 Believers "do not" enjoy sin (2nd Peter 2:7-8).  As Christians, we walk  in obedience to God's word (1st John 2:3).  We pursue peace with all  men, which includes all those (male and female alike), whom the sex  addict strives to deceive (Hebrews 12:14).  True Christians seek  sanctification (becoming more like Christ each and every day), without  which no one will see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14).

 Jesus replied, "Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me." - John 14:15-21.    To those who dismiss their sin under the coverage of God's grace I  remind them of the "fear" of God.  "To fear God is to hate evil." -  Proverbs 8:13.  "Who will not fear you O Lord, and bring glory to your  name?" - Revelation 15:4. 

If  a sex addict lives in sin due to being tempted by pornography on the  Internet, television, magazines, job, or any other sin trigger that may  occur within their life the solution is easy.  Get rid of the computer,  television, magazines, media, job and triggers that are tempting you to  act out!   As Christians we are to live our life consecrated and  dedicated to His word, His will, and His ways.  For it is written: "Be  holy, because I am holy." - 1st Peter 1:16.   

That  doesn't mean we will be perfect for we all have sinned and come short  of the glory of God.   But it does mean we as Christians will "strive"  to be holy.  If you know something is a temptation why would you place  yourself in a situation that could trigger you to sin?  "No one can  serve two masters.  Either he will hate the one and love the other, or  he will be devoted to the one and despise the other..." - Matthew 6:24.

Steve  Gallagher, 53, founder of Pure Life Ministries in 1986, does not  advocate dependence on psychotherapy, psychologists, support  groups, deliverance services, Internet filters and accountability  partners in seeking spiritual restitution.  He is quoted by Christianity  Today, 3/7/2008 - as stating, "Biblical accountability was never meant  to be a group of men sitting in a circle discussing their failures."  

Most  men, Gallagher believes, and I agree most women who are sexually  addicted too, are not willing to sever old habits that lead to sin, such  as watching whatever they want on television. 

 Gallagher writes in At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry, "A man can go to psychologists, support groups, or deliverance  services, ...He can be prayed for by a famous evangelist or commit  himself to a sexual-addiction clinic, but if he wants to overcome  habitual sin, he must learn to walk in the Spirit."  Gallagher  goes on to say self-help tools such as Internet filters and  accountability partners can help for a season, but until a man  experiences real repentance, he will remain stuck in sexual sin.   Gallagher is 100 percent correct

"What you seed, you feed.  What you feed, you become!" - Synthia Esther 

GOD'S WORD IS THE SEED THAT ENABLES YOUR SPIRIT TO HEED TEMPTATIONS SNARE:

"For  we have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable,  through the living and enduring word of God" - 1st Peter 1:25.

"You  can't stop the birds from flying over your head but you can stop them  from making a nest in your hair."  -  Martin Lurther  

"We  know that we have come to know Him if we obey His commands.  The man who  says, I know Him, but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the  truth is not in him.  This is how we know we are in Him:  Whoever claims  to live in him must walk as Jesus did" - 1st John 2:3-6.   We all sin  and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23), however, we as  Christian's do not "deliberately" commit sins in a repeated addicted  manner.  "Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not  use deception, nor do we distort the word of God.  On The contrary, by  setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's  conscience in the sight of God." -  2nd Corinthians 4:2.  "Therefore, if  anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;  the old has gone, the new  has come!" - 2nd Corinthians 6:17.

"Godly  sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret,  but worldly sorrow brings death." - 2nd Corinthians 7:10.   "We demolish  arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the  knowledge of God, and we take every thought to make it obedient to  Christ." - 2nd Corinthians 10:5.  "Do not be deceived:  God cannot be  mocked.  A man reaps what he sows.  The man who sows to please his  sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows  to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life." -  Galatians 6:7-8.

"Have  nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose  them.  For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in  secret.  But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is  light that makes everything visible,"... - Ephesians 5:11-13.

"We are  therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal  through us.  We implore you on Christ's behalf:  Be reconciled to God." -  2nd Corinthians 5:20.

"AN ADDICT IN DENIAL WILL ALWAYS STRIVE TO PROTECT HIS ADDICTION SUPPLY" 

An  addict in denial will strive to protect and preserve their addiction  supply as their reasoning is controlled by their obsessive-compulsive  mindset.   Using projection they may even try to blame you for their  sins of acting out using pornography, cybersex, massage palors,  prostitutes, escorts, incest, your niece, nephew, neighbor, or friends  young son or daughter, the family dog or cat (bestiality), or other  sexually deviant activities.  Sin and addiction strongholds are always  escalating (James 1:13-15).  You will never be able to help an addict  recover, only God can do that (Ephesians 3:20-21).   The best way to  help an addict is to lead them to the truth within God's word and pray  for them.  The answers to all our problems in life are answered within the word of God. 

CHRISTIAN SEX ADDICT AND MINISTRY WORKER FOR JESUS CHRIST?  THERE IS NO SUCH THING!

Jesus  Replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for  service in the kingdom of God." - Luke 9:62,  Philippians 3:13

"But  the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes  them stumble.  My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to  my words.  Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your  heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's  whole body.  Above all else guard your heart, for it is the wellspring  of life.  Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far  from your lips.  Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze  directly before you.  Make level paths for you

r feet and take only ways  that are firm.  Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot  from evil." - Proverbs 4:19-27

"All a  man's ways seem right to him, but the Lord weighs the heart.  To do what  is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.   Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked are sin!" -  Proverbs 21:2-4

GOD'S WORD DECLARES:  "EXPEL THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOU!" - 1st CORINTHIANS  5:9-13

"I have  written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people -  not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the  greedy and swindlers, or idolaters.  In that case you would have to  leave this world.  But now I am writing you that you must not associate  with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or  greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler.  With such  a man do not even eat.  What business is it of mine to judge those  outside the church?  God will judge those outside.  "Expel the wicked  man from among you."  -  1st Corinthians 5:9-13.

"...From  everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the  one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked."  - Luke  12:48.

"Live  as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover up for evil; love as  servants of God." - 1st Peter 2:16.   "But you are a chosen people, a  royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may  declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His  wonderful light" - 1st Peter 2:9.

"Why does my sexual drive plague and control me?" 

Each  of us has an inner spirit that tells us when we are doing something  wrong.  The more we ignore the inner Holy Spirit's conviction and  witness, the softer it speaks to us.  Until one day it doesn't speak at  all.  It is as if the volume is turned off.  Without the Holy Spirit's  warning system within the heart and mind, there is no conviction.  

It is then that we are most  susceptible to the powers of darkness as we continue to feed our flesh  and fuel our mind's thought processes with sin filled pleasure.  God's  still small voice of warning is ignored, being replaced by faulty sexual  programing such as pornography.   You may convince yourself "What's the  harm?  I'm not hurting anyone.  No one will ever know." 

GOD'S BIBLICAL WARNING:

Proverbs 5:21-23, "For a man's  ways are in full view of the Lord, and He examines all his paths.   (22)  The evil deeds of a wicked man ensnare him; the cords of his sin  hold him fast.  (23)  He will die for lack of discipline, led astray by  his own great folly."

Sex  addict's have grandiosity at their heart's core.  Listen to what the  word of God declares about such self-seeking, self-serving,  bias behavior...

"And  you felt secure in your wickedness and said, 'No one sees me,' Your  wisdom and your knowledge, they have deluded you; For you have said in  your heart, 'I am, and there is no one besides me.'  But evil will come  on you Which you will not know how to charm away; And disaster will fall  on you For which you cannot atone, And destruction about which you do  not know Will come on you suddenly."  -  Isaiah 47:10-11'

"He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but  whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy."  -  Proverbs 28:13

"But  among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any  kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy  people.  Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking,  which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.  For of this you can be  sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person - such a man is an  idolater-has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God." -  Ephesians 5:3-5'

REMEMBER: 

HONOR STANDS ON THE HOLY NAME  OF JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD (2 Timothy 1:9).  LIVE HOLY AND BE BLESSED  (Matthew 5:8; Psalm 65:4; 143:10; John 14:1-31).

 I ask God to forgive me every time I yield to sexual temptation. Aren't we covered by grace?  Isn't this all I have to do?   

Yes, we as Christians are covered by God's grace and mercy.  However, if  we truly are repentint we will daily die to our sins.  We will also  "flee" from situations that may cause us to be tempted.  

For many sex  addicts to flee such temptation means no television, no computer, no  going to the store alone due to the temptation to buy a pornography  magazine.  You may have to make a job and/or career change, seek 24/7  accountability, and any other changes deemed necessary in resisting  sexual temptation.  A sex addict explained his confession process; "I  was addicted to sex,cybersex, pornography,prostitutes, and quit for a  while, but now am struggling with sexual lust and temptation again.   This is what works for me, and I am going to do it again starting  "tomorrow" right after confession.  Whoo-hoo, yeah, my sin is covered by  grace!"   

This is an example of wicked false repentance.  The grace of  God is given upon true repentance of sin. "The highway of the upright  avoids evil; he who guards his way guards his life" - Proverbs 16:17.   "The Lord detests the thoughts of the wicked, but those of the pure are  pleasing to Him" - Proverbs 15:26.  

Be forewarned.  God will not let your  sin continue without HIS holy intervention. Your sins will find you  out!  "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow His  precepts have good understanding" - Psalm 111:10.  Faith without works  is dead.  Willingness without action is fantasy.  No one can serve two  masters.  Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be  devoted to the one and despise the other... - Matthew 6:24.   

Your actions prove your seeded behavior programs.  What you seed you  feed.  Do you keep secrets from your spouse or significant other concerning  your sexual activities?    Do you lead a double life?    Are you looking for sexually arousing pictures, articles, people, places  and things?  Do you find yourself thinking about sexual fantasies with other women,  men, infants, children, young teenagers, or animals? 

 Do you think about having sex with other people when you are with your  spouse or significant other, because they no longer excite you?  Do you distance yourself form your spouse right after having had sex  with her/him?  Do you use and abuse your spouse performing "Body Masturbation"  (essentially using her/his body to masturbate while thinking of someone  else), instead of intimate, love bonding sex? 

 Do you find yourself seeking out new sexual highs through dating and  social networking sites, pornography, cybersex, strip clubs, massage  parlors, and/or prostitutes Do you often feel shame, guilt, remorse, and are you burdened by your  sexual obsessive compulsions and acting out? 

 Do you feel your life is chaotic and out of control, hopelessly consumed  by your sex drive? 

 Does your obsession with sex and your behavior contradict your moral and  spiritual beliefs?  

Do you take high risks going places, doing things that could hinder your  current relationship as well as your spiritual relationship with God?    

Are you in fear of your spouse or significant other finding out who you  really are?  Does your sexual or romantic behavior ever leave you with a feeling of  hopelessness, detached and alienated from others?  Do you feel suicidal due to your sexual compulsions?  Is your preoccupation with sex taking up more of your time?  

Is your job  at risk?    Have you ever been arrested or could be arrested due to sexually acting  out?  Examples being voyeurism, exhibitionism, prostitution, incest,  pedophilia - sex with children, bestiality - sex with animals, stalking,  up-skirting, rape, murder, snuff or crush videos, sexual torture,  etc...? 

 Do you spend money to pay for sex or buy and collect pornography, sex  magazines, or blow up dolls made for sex?  

Do you compartmentalize your emotions and relationships? 

Do you often experience inner rage, or manifest anger and rage, hit or  physically, emotionally abuse your spouse or significant other? 

 Do you manipulate, deceive, lie, cheat to get sex? 

 Do your conversations with others contain sexual jokes, sly remarks or  comments about sex?  

Does your sexual behavior, habits seem to be escalating and controlling  your life?   

Do you feel unstable, emotionally void, bored, incomplete, without your  sexual fantasies and acting out?  

Do you feel your entitled to indulge in your sexual obsessive compulsive  behaviors?   

Do you seek out of town and state jobs in order to conceal your secret  double life?  Have past relationships ended due to your sexual behavior and  compulsions?   

Do you feel you are asexual, with no sexual feelings?   

Do you feel shame about your own body, sex organs, or sexuality? 

 Why can't I control my sexual urges?     

Are you addicted to the sexual hunt?  Are you a sex, love or romance  addict in search of a new sexual conquest?  When a person lays a  foundation of sexual lust as their primary relationship guide, they will  "never" experience the true unity of love between husband and wife the  way God intended it to be.    "In the paths of the wicked lie thorns and snares, but he who guards his  soul stays far from them." - Proverbs 22:5  .

Remember,"What you seed, you feed. What you feed you become!" - Synthia Esther.   

 Or as Dr. Faye Snider states, "What we imprint, we repeat."   After years of seeding and feeding your sexual lust, marital sex cannot  compare with the fantasy.  Nor can a vagina compete with the tight grip  of the hand used during solo-sex masturbation. 

 When masturbating to a sexual fantasy, pornography or image, the orgasm  experienced serves to anchor or reinforce the deviant fantasy.  I site  R.J. McGuire, et. al, Sexual Deviation As Conditioned Behavior, Behavior  Research & Therapy, 1965: vol. 2, p. 185.   

 According to McGuire, "As a man repeatedly masturbates to a vivid sexual  fantasy as his exclusive outlet, the pleasurable experiences endow the  deviant fantasy with increasing erotic value.  The orgasm experienced  then provides the critical reinforcing event for the conditioning of the  fantasy preceding or accompanying the act." 

 There is a simple  solution.  Don't plant, water, and cultivate the wrong seed into your  heart, mind and soul.  You can change what you feed upon. Feed upon God's word, for it is  living and active. When you feed on HIS word, day and night, seeking HIS  wisdom (Proverbs Chapter two, three, and four), you will find God's  providential truth, wisdom, and knowledge.  

THE TRIUMPH PLAN:  

The first step to over coming your temptation and addiction to fantasy,  lust, and deviant behavior is to admit you are sexually enslaved and  addicted.  You can't change what you don't acknowledge.   

 How long have you indulged your sexual obsessive desires?  

How many  years have you programed your mind with lust, objectified women/men,  children, and even animals for those within the stronghold of  bestiality?  

How long have you played instant recall and visualized your  fantasies? 

 How long have you had sex with your wife, while thinking of  sex and pornography idols? 

This is called "Body Masturbation."  These  are satanic strongholds on your heart, soul, and mind.  God can heal you  from addiction strongholds in the blink of an eye.  However, He knows  your heart, mind and soul, and whether you would once again yield to  sexual lust and temptation.   

 Jesus Christ defeated sin on Calvary's Cross.  He is the bondage breaker  in that He rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into  the kingdom of the Son He loves, in whom we have redemption, the  forgiveness of sins - Col. 1:13.  In order to overcome sexual  temptation, truth (no secrets Eph. 5:11-12), love and obedience to God's  word must prevail. 

 To obey is better than sacrifice - 1st Samuel  15:22.  Resist the devil and he will flee from you - James 4:7.. 

 We  resist Satan by standing firm in our faith, being self-controlled and  alert - Peter 5:8-9. Alert is defined as being in a condition of  heightened watchfulness or preparation for action.  A readiness, warning,  signal to be attentive. We strive to live a sanctified life, lead by  the conviction of the Holy Spirit and armed for battle with the power of  God's word.  Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that  comes from the mouth of the Lord.  

Know in your heart that as a man  disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you.  You will  reap what you sow in life.  Observe the commands of the Lord your God,  walking in His ways and revering Him - Deuteronomy 8.  

You have to  master your lustful spirit.  You cannot have "eyes" full of adultery and  never stop sinning.  You cannot mouth boastful words..."I have prayed to  God to heal me of sexual lust but He hasn't" and/or  "I have tried a  twelve step program, counseling but it didn't work for me."  

You are  feeling sorry for yourself playing the victim to your own self inflicted  sin.  You cannot continue to indulge in your sin and fleshly temptation  and not suffer guilt once you know the truth.  A man is a slave to  whatever has mastered him - 2nd Peter 2:19. 

 If you have escaped the  corruption of the world with all its short term pleasure, and know our  Lord and Savior Jesus Christ but are again entangled in it and overcome,  you are worse off in the end than at the beginning!  It would have been  better for you not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have  known it and then turn your back on the sacred command passed onto you.   Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit" and "A sow  that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud" - 2nd Peter 2. 

  If you have lived your life this way it is time to draw the line in the  sand, never crossing over it again.  If we claim to have fellowship with  God yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth - 1st  John 1:6.  The choices you make today are the realities of tomorrow!   The triumph plan is simple, run from temptation just like Joseph did -  Genesis 39:11.

Are you angry with God because you are tempted?  No temptation has  seized you except what is common to man.  And God is faithful; He will  not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.  But when you are  tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under  it.  

Sexual temptation is common to man.  No one takes your penis out of your  pants and sticks it where it doesn't belong.  You are the one who  decides by your own freewill to go to prostitutes, and/or view  pornography and act out sexually. It is you alone who commits these  crimes of evil.  God is not going to remove temptation from your life,  as He has provided you with the freewill to flee from it!  Listen to  what the Lord told Cain, "Why are you angry?  Why is your face downcast?   If you do what is right, will you not be accepted?  But if you do not  do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you,  but 'you' must master it."  Instead of listening to God's advice and  instruction Cain went out into the field in anger and rebellion,  attacked his brother Abel and killed him - Gen. 4.  

Was God to blame for  Cain's sin by not removing Abel from Cain's course of evil, murderous  intent?  This is the message you heard from the beginning; We should  love one another.  Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and  murdered his brother.  And why did he murder him?  Because his "own"  actions were evil and his brother's were righteous - 1st John 3:11-12.   

No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed  remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God  - 1st John 3:9-19.  

To love God is to obey His commands - 1st John 5:3.    

 YOU MUST MASTER YOUR SIN:

Faith without works is dead.  God isn't going to zap you into shape.  He  expects you to zap yourself in spiritual obedience to His word, which  is your strength! "For the word of God is living and active.  Sharper  than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and  spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the  heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight.  Everything  is uncovered and laid bare before Him to whom we must give account" - 

 Hebrews 4:12-13.  "Those who live according to the sinful nature have  their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in  accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit  desires. 

 The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by  the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful man is hostile to God.  It does  not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.  Those controlled by the  sinful nature cannot please God" - Romans 8:5-8. 

 Sin and rebellion  against God begin and end in the mind.  In order to defeat sin we are to  renew our minds with the word of God.  "How can a young man keep his  way pure? By living according to your word" - Psalm 119:9.   

You submit and surrender your life and will to God, living according to  His word.  "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might now sin  against you" - 119:11.   "I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect  your word" - 119:16.  "Let your eyes look staight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you.   Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm.  Do not  swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil" - Proverbs  4:25-27.  "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life" -  Proverbs 4:23.  GOD HAS PROVIDED YOU A WAY OUT.  IT IS UP TO YOU TO TAKE HIM AT HIS  WORD.   

If you look in lust, you partook.  Matthew 5:28, "But I tell you that  anyone who looks at a woman lust-fully has already committed adultery  with her in his heart."  What you see with your eyes is a gateway to the  mind and soul.  Your seeded memories color your outlook, and the world  in which you live. When you change the way you look at people and  things, the things and people you look at change.    

Instead of looking with sexual intention, you see humanity and the world  around you through the eyes of God's holy love and spiritual  significance.  The girls and women your lusting after are someone's  daughter.  The boys or men your lusting after are someone's son.  They  are God's children, who are special in His sight.  Not an object to be  used and abused.  Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ  Himself? - 1st Corinthians 6:15.  

Don't you know that you yourselves  are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?  If anyone destroys  God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you  are that temple - 1st Corinthians 3:16-17).  We are God's temple.  

Make a decision to love, not lust. Repent today, for tomorrow may be too late!

God calls us to shine the light of His Holy Word upon all who will listen.  Some do not desire the truth of His Holy scriptures.  Take for example, Gay - ex Hillsong leader Josh Cranfield who was promoting and advertising his homosexual relationship with Reed Kelly on and off National TV, on the reality show the "Survivor".   He was forced to step down as worship leader of the NYC'S worship team, instead in service as an off stage vocal coach.  After some Twitter postings, Senior Pastor,  Brian Houston,  put out a statement that Hillsong loves all people....regardless of their identity.

Homosexuality is a sin, in accordance with God's word.  Any Christian church that allows such alternative lifestyle believers to work as church leaders, teachers, instructors (even as vocal off stage coaches),, will not reap the fruit of God's blessings.  

WE ARE TO LOVE THE SINNER, BUT HATE HIS SIN! -  AS DOES GOD.  IN ALL THINGS WE ARE TO SHOW RESPECT, AND POINT THE WAY TOWARDS SPIRITUAL TRUTH IN GOD'S LOVE,  FOR ALL HUMANITY.  (1 PETER 2:17; SEE ALSO 1 TIM. 2:1).  

NO OPENLY PROCLAIMED GAY  "CHRISTIAN"  CONVERT SHOULD TO BE INVOLVED IN CHURCH LEADERSHIP!   AS A TEACHER, OR AS A CHRISTIAN PROFESSIONAL,  SUCH AS AN OFF STAGE VOCAL OR MUSIC COACH.  THEY NEED TO BE LOVED AND DISCIPLINED  BIBLICALLY..

NOR SHOULD ANY PERSON WHO KNOWS OR FEELS THEY ARE GAY (AND LIVING LIFE ON THE DOWN LOW), TAKE ANY PART IN CHURCH LEADERSHIP IN ANY SHAPE, FORM, OR FASHION. 

GOD IS LOVE (JOHN 4:8-9).  SIN LEADS TO DEATH IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM OF GOD'S LAWS (JAMES 1:15).  IT IS THE LOVE OF GOD, SHOWN BY WAY OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH, THAT WILL TURN THE TIDE OF ALL THOSE IN NEED OF GOD'S SALVATION'S PLAN (JOHN 3:16-17).

HOMOSEXUAL LUST, A DECEPTIVE SIN VICE AND SNARE

By Synthia Esther

A female friend, Angie, married Dave,  (names changed for privacy / protection), who were both Christians.   They were blessed with children, and for a time lived a life filled with  God's love.  Trials, stress, anxiety,  tribulations ensued, as they  often do within the fallen, sin nature World in which we live.  When the  problems became too much for Dave to handle he turned to a past comfort  he knew well, and sought out sexual connection with another man.  Dave  lived life on the down low in homosexual sin for many years.  The  lustful thrills, and love affection he felt in the arms of another man,  was sexually intoxicating. 

Why  did Dave turn to homosexual activity as a source of comfort in troubled  times?  He was targeted to do so by Satan, who had planted the seed of  homosexual lust into his heart.  Why does Dave feel homosexual  companionship to be the ultimate of loving, sexual expression?  He was  targeted by Satan to feel this way.  Like the saying by St. Francis  Xavier goes, "Give me the child until he is seven and I'll give you a  man."  Operative conditioning, plain and simple.

TARGETED BY SATAN TO BELIEVE YOUR HOMOSEXUAL:

Dave (as do many other  homosexuals) believed he was born "this way."  But in truth he was  targeted in his past by an older man who seduced him when he was a very  young and innocent boy.  Satan set him up.  Coming from a troubled home  Dave welcomed the attention, gifts, and even the sex this perverted,  older man gave him.  In Dave's mind, he believed because he enjoyed  these "friends with benefits" demonic sin ploys, he must be  "homosexual."   This is a deceptive lie from the pits of Hell! 

ARE YOU PLAGUED WITH STRONGHOLDS OF HOMOSEXUAL LUST?  WERE YOU SEDUCED AS A YOUNG MAN BY AN OLDER MAN?

A prime factor in seductive pedophile  crimes, is the grooming effect of giving to get.  The sexual predator  grooms you, lures you with bait that reaches the full sense expression  of every sin gate one leans towards.  What's your favorite food, game,  toy?  He asks.  What do you want to be when you grow up?  He inquires.   Than as if he is Santa Clause, he strives to make all your dreams come  true.  Perfect relationship for a little boy (or girl) who comes from a  troubled home.  

The trap was set and you took the bate.  You were  innocent, the sexual, evil, predator was not.

Satan  wants you to believe you were born homosexual because you enjoyed this  type of sexual sin.  Let's face it, the thrill of any and all sexual  sin lust is lush, tempting, and fun, for a season.  But in the end your  peace, joy, satisfaction, is void.   Dave traded in his family for a  curse.  The curse was his desire to lift his troubled mind from the  worry he was plagued with, indulge once again in a relationship with  another man, and recapture the desire he was targeted by Satan to  "learn" to enjoy, as a young, innocent, child.  

This curse is now a sin  stronghold of learned behavior.

AS A CHRISTIAN, YOU ARE BORN AGAIN - BREAKING ANY AND ALL DEMONIC CURSES AND STRONGHOLDS ON YOUR LIFE!

As Christians we are "born again" as  we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior (John 3:16-17).   We break  the sin based curse and strongholds on our life when we learn to trust  in Jesus Christ and God's word, the Holy Bible.  Trust and Obey.  There  really is no other way.  Is this a difficult path to embark upon?  Yes,  obeying God is often very difficult, but beyond measure in rewards.   

Aside from the peace you will feel, God's blessings on your life, your  family, and even your children's lives, are covered by the power of His  Holy Spiritual protection.  Bottom line, when you learn to trust in  Jesus, it is always worth it.
