In all honesty I though the scriptures shared were quite self explanatory.
This is what I will say regarding this subject and I want to be specific and clear so please indulge me.
First and foremost. Homosexuality whether the act, behaviors, attitudes or thoughts is NOT the design plan and purpose of GOD for either males or females. It is a combination of demonic oppression and influence co laboring with mindsets and belief systems of individuals. God did NOT create or intend for man to live this way, just like He did not create or intend man to live in a sinful fallen state. However GOD being who HE is knew we would mess up and had a plan all along for our redemption and deliverance names JESUS.
Now that being said.. Wrong thoughts are Wrong thoughts. Whether it is a person desiring the person of the same sex or a person desiring someone that is not their spouse. Jesus made it quite clear that even if one does not engage in the actual physical act of adultery but has the thoughts in their mind and heart even without expressing them OPENLY they have sinned. We need to remember that GOD sees and tries the heart.
However GOD did not design us to DESIRE people of the same sex. So in the case of homosexuality as I see it you have the influence of demonic forces coupled with the mindset and belief system of the individual that is causing to to have an attraction or a desire to something or someone that GOD did NOT intend and thats where the sin comes in.
God fully intended for men to be attracted to women and women to be attracted to men. NOW even that can become sin when we lust after them ( whether single or married), desire that which is not ours (adultery), when it becomes covetousness OR idolatry. And these things are often demonic influence combines with our thoughts and belief systems.
This is why the battle ground for the Christian is always THE MIND.
SO if as a married man I saw a woman who was attractive and though.. yeah.. she is hot.. man.. I could get with that... what i would do to her if I had her.. etc etc... The BIBLE calls that sin..
As a married man I could say.. wow that is an attractive woman.. period.. no desire.. no lust.. just the acknowledgement of her beauty and that I find her attractive.. thats ok...
We have to control our thought life. That takes work, diligence and discipline.
I dont believe we have to struggle over and over and over and over and over and over never having the victory through Christ JESUS our Lord.
I believe we will face challenges but I believe we are well able to overcome them. You will make mistakes along the way. Get up and move forward...
I hope that clears things up..

So in the case of homosexuality as I see it you have the influence of demonic forces coupled with the mindset and belief system of the individual that is causing to to have an attraction or a desire to something or someone that GOD did NOT intend and that's where the sin comes in. One reason I don't see this as sin is because this isn't something that is willful. One cannot help who he/she might be physically attracted to. Many people who are conflicted sexually (not just regarding homosexual desires, but other things as well) were often molested as a child. Those unnatural desires and urges are borne out of something they didn't consent to and had no control over. Now if one is acting on those urges, that's another thing altogether since we know for a fact that the Bible condemns the act. Those desires and attractions are the result of another's sin inflicted in an innocent individual, so I don't see how the victimized person is sinning. Let me ask this: can a person truly be saved if they are experiencing a physical attraction to the same sex? If this person dies while in the process of deliverance, but were still physically attracted to the same sex, would that person go to heaven? On a practical level, this can be complicated. I suppose I'm just trying to prep myself for when the time comes when I will have to deal with these types of issues in ministry. I don't want to be the minister who just says, "Just stop what you're doing and you'll be alright," which just encourages people to cover up the true issues and never really make any progress. This goes for all sorts of issues, but being that we live in a nation where the "gay agenda" is almost to the point of being forced on us, it's a very in-your-face issue that is of importance. |

FLAWS & ALL An angel of the lord came to me in a dream with a message from God. As the angel got closer to me all my emotions were moving at once. I saw its eyes and I became fixated upon them. As I continued to stare into the angels eyes I could see everything that was going on in my surroundings and I knew she could hear my thoughts. I was thinking in my mind; “wow she is so beautiful”, but as the angel got closer I realized it was neither male nor female. Occupied by the angels beauty it took out a stick from its robe and rammed it in my left side. I immediately grabbed my side, the pain was excruciating to the point it pushed me out my dream state. As I awakened I was still holding my left side. I was in pain for 3 days straight. I asked the lord to take the pain away and on the 3rd day he told me NO that it was my THORN. 2 Cor. 12:5-10 5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. 6For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. 7And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 8For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 9And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. After reading this scripture, with much worry and concern, I began say. I don’t want this thing in me, how can I serve you with this? SERVE ME WITH GLADNESS! It’s painful? MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT! Can anyone else see it? MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT! What will they think? MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT! I don’t like it. MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT, SERVE ME WITH GLADNESS was His answer to my every complaint. He told me He measured out His grace for me to fit every situation I will ever face. He told me that I needed this thorn TO KEEP ME HUMBLED, (you know you can be judgmental and prideful sometimes). TO KEEP ME SAFE, (for you have and you will suffer much from the agent of the evil one and I don’t want you thinking it’s you doing something wrong all the time, there is no commendation in me, so son stop blaming yourself so much.) TO KEEP HIM FIRST (if I take this thorn away you will not be able to walk in my true anointing (power) for your life. You will become prideful and glory in yourself and NO FLESH SHALL GLORY IN MY SIGHT). He told me to remember that before He formed me in the belly He knew me and before I was born He called me and sanctified me. He said, Detrick you will be broken for the wholeness of others. You will go through to help others come out. At times you will be ravished and torn to only to repair and restore. I know everything you will EVER do, EVER go through. All of your victories, your accomplishments, your hang-ups, your problems, your failures, all your short comings, yet I still love you, I still cover you, I still called you FLAWS & ALL. ADL From the pen of a ready writer… I LOVE this!!! Thanks for sharing. :) |

This goes for all sorts of issues, but being that we live in a nation where the "gay agenda" is almost to the point of being forced on us, it's a very in-your-face issue that is of importance. I think of sin oftentimes like this.. Its a law.. and the law applies whether we ACKNOWLEDGE the law or not. We have a law of gravity. It is UNIVERSAL attractive force. Whether we are aware of it or acknowledge it or not.. IT APPLIES... If you are using the issue of molestation that presents an issue. However this issue of innocence for me is a bit challenging because none of us are truly innocent. We are born in sin and shaped in inquity. And whether we are doing what we are doing as a result of fornication or as a result of molestation once we become AWARE of the fact that GOD considers it sin, then from that moment we are acoountable. Sin in its simplest form means to fall short of GOD's mark. Thats why they scripture declares that all have sinned and fallen short of HIS Glory. The reality is that even when we are not aware that it is sin we are still missing the mark. The same argument can me made for the woman who was molested by their father who now fornicates constantly because they are seeking what they never got from their parent. (I have known SEVERAL women with the same issue). Are they any less accountable for their sin than the person who is homosexual. Are they any less accountable for their desires. See that becomes the problem when we try to categorize and rationalize sin. The fact is. Those that are involved are in bondage. They are held captive and Jesus came to set the captives free. The reality is that the scripture calls it sin. Whether we are doing it simply because we want to or because we dont know better. Sin is not decided by OUR rationale or point of view. It is defined by GOD's Whether the issue is a result of choice or molestation it is still NOT The design of GOD. It is still NOT his plan. It is STILL wrong in his sight... AND the REALITY is that HE ALONE has provided the answer. JESUS CHRIST the ANOINTED ONE is the source of all ministry. We can counsel, we can use all the natural wisdom in the world and it pales to compare to what JESUS the ANOINTED one who can remove EVERY burden and DESTROY every yoke. That alone is the key. I have minsitered to people who are homosexual. I have ministered who thought what they were doing was perfectly ok. I remember once time speaking with an individual online who asked me why I said it was wrong. I said do you have a Bible. he said yes. I began to show him the scriptures... you know what he said... This the FIRST TIME someone actually took the time to show me what the scripture actually says. He said usually people just yelled and told me I was going to hell. I said well now that YOU KNOW what is declared in GOD's word what are you going to do.. He said you know I really love GOD and I really want to serve JESUS and do whats right. I really need to pray about this. I said Prayer is always a good start... Now I have NO idea what happened to this person.. never saw them online again.. But this I know.. You cannot help someone beating them in the head. You do need to point them to JESUS. Again i suggest reading this.. www.tscpulpitseries.org/english/minibook/2ofmetot.html |

Genderless Love-Sensual Lust
Genderless Love-Sensual Lust
There has been much debate on sexual promiscuity, “issues”, within the household of faith. Can Homosexuals be Christians? Does God still love them? Can God still use them? What about masturbation? Are people born “gay”? If so, can they be delivered; the list can go on and on. From gospel artists, church leaders, to the pew occupier, truly I have come to realize and see even more than ever before the gorge that we as the body of Christ try to keep and uplift between church clergy and laity has no affect as it relates to sin. SIN like God is NO RESPECTOR OF PERSON, title and or degree.
I have been receiving countless emails, IMs etc, from BELIEVERS on how to deal with the sexual sins. Men and women of God are dying of HIV. Marital beds are being defiled. Marriages are being destroyed. Leaders committing spiritual bestiality {sleeping with the sheep}. LUST is running ramped in the church. As I read and responded to each inquiry that came in the burden of this particular issue began to grow stronger and stronger. As I began to discuss the issue of sexual sin with God and my mother I began to cry it was so overwhelming.
I began to say how frustrated, hurt and disappointed I was with US as believers who have the word of God and prayer but won’t utilize them to deal with our issues. We have so many excuses on why we can’t get past our sexual tensions that it literally makes my heart grieve and my stomach sick. “God knows my heart”, “I was born this way”, “I don’t do the act” but still comfortable with keeping the thoughts and feelings,“ I can’t help the way that I feel”. When are we going to TRULY get it together so we can help someone else?
I mentioned to my mom that I asked God, as others have asked, Why is sexual perversion so hard to break and destroy especially in the life of the believer”. The answer I believe He gave me during our conversation is this; THE WAY OF THE TRANSGRESSOR IS HARD. Transgressor means simply; “someone who comes or goes against the LAW”. God has given us CLEAR DIRECTIVES {laws} on what to do and not do within His word. Nevertheless WE STILL do what we want to do and then complain about the state we are in. I use to bombard heaven with prayers asking God to please take this away please take that away and His answer to me was. ANYTHING I HAVE TO TAKE FROM U, U STILL WANT! God’s word tells us to CAST our cares upon Him for He cares for us.
The seeds of unrighteousness are first conceived in the mind then filters to your heart. It is at this point we can be drawn away and enticed because SIN has formulated spiritual strings that allow the enemy to become the puppet master of our lives. SIN brings DEATH. The word of God specifically tells us to GUARD our hearts with all diligence, for out of it flows the issue of life. NOT our fleshly hearts but our HEART OF HEARTS, OUR SPIRIT. It is because of our lack of commitment in the area of PRAYER AND THE LIVING OF THE WORD OF GOD that we are in the state of disarray.
In my 14 years of ministry and being saved I have never seen so much carnality within the house hold of faith. We wonder why our churches are full of lifeless zombies not impacting our families, cities, and nation or NOT FULL AT ALL. I believe the reason is because we, like SOLOMON, sleep with anything and anyone just to advance, just to get members, to get money, popularity, etc, U KNOW THE LUST OF THE EYE, THE LUST OF FLESH, THE PRIDE OF LIFE. God said that we should WALK in the SPIRIT so WE WONT fulfill the LUST OF THE FLESH. I can go on and on speaking on this particular topic, however I believe God wants use to UTILIZE the solutions He has given to us, NOT keep rehearsing the problems. It is not enough to seek deliverance from ministries etc, especially if we are not going to discipline ourselves to KEEP OUR DELIVERANCE in an active state, we will ultimately do more harm than good. There is no need to confess our sins {truth issues} if we are NOT going to use the word of God to correct them. I personally make this declaration over my life consistently; SEXUAL PERVERSION WILL NEVER HAVE ME, NOR WILL IT REIGN IN MY LIFE. However that declaration means NOTHING if I don’t fight to keep it present in my life. Have I fallen yes, am I perfect NO, but one thing I do know and that will I CONTINUIOUSLY seek after is the UNCHANGING, THE UNCOMPRISIMING WORD OF GOD.
God’s need to address this particular issue head on is what I believe allowed me to pen these words.
God spoke to my heart and said that the spirit of GENDERLESS LOVE-SENSUAL LUST has been released in the church. Men and women alike will not care what gender they sleep with because “love” is what they are after. The love of many of His sons and daughters has WAXED COLD. THIS SENSUAL LUST acts a temporal heating source which keeps them searching for the warming comfort of HIS LUV in one another. They will be so blinded by this LUST {strong desire} of love, that delusion will set in and they will think what they are doing is RIGHT. The Holy Spirit is not only grieved because of our sin, HE is also grieved because we lack the application and trust of HIS WORD to DELIVER US and KEEP US FROM FALLING.
The problem SEXUAL SIN
The solution: A DISCIPLINED LIFE OF PRAYER & LIVING THE WORD OF GOD.

If you are using the issue of molestation that presents an issue. However this issue of innocence for me is a bit challenging because none of us are truly innocent. We are born in sin and shaped in inquity. This is true, but I'm speaking from the perspective of accountability. Paul alludes to an "age of accountability": "I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died" (Romans 7:9). This is why we believe that babies and children who die are accepted into the kingdom of God. A physical attraction really isn't "doing" anything per se. If we're speaking about the act of sex outside of marriage (which includes adultery and homosexuality), then there's absolutely no question that, according to God's Word, this is totally and unequivocally unacceptable; that's not where we disagree. And because of this, we sometimes suffer the effects and consequences of the presence of sin in the world in general, but that doesn't mean that we ourselves are necessarily committing an act of sin. For instance, when a believer gets physically sick, that doesn't necessarily mean that he/she sinned. But due to the fall (Adam's sin), that's something we just have to deal with. Sickness is a result of the presence of sin and is rooted in the existence of sin, but just because I get sick doesn't necessarily mean I personally committed an act of sin. In the same way, homosexuality is a sickness, a disorder, of sorts within a person's psyche. It doesn't necessarily mean that they sinned in order to have the feelings towards the same sex that they do. I hope I'm making sense with this. Well I would argue that the woman who is being a hoe is actually committing sin, while the person who is physically attracted to the same sex, but who is celibate, is not committing sin. Yes, it is an unnatural desire and they should seek total deliverance in that area, but they are not sinning. I came across this online: Q. What's the difference between homosexual temptation and sin?
A. Unasked-for, uncultivated sexual desires for a person of the same sex constitute temptation, not sin. Since the Lord Jesus was "tempted in every way, just as we are (Heb. 4:15)," He fully knows the intensity and nature of the temptations we face. But He never gave in to them.
The line between sexual temptation and sexual sin is the same for both heterosexuals and homosexuals. It is the point at which our conscious will gets involved. Sin begins with the internal acts of lusting and creating sexual fantasies. Lust is indulging one's sexual desires by deliberately choosing to feed sexual attraction—you might say it is the sinful opposite of meditation. Sexual fantasies are conscious acts of the imagination. It is creating mental pornographic home movies. Just as the Lord said in the Sermon on the Mount, all sexual sin starts in the mind long before it gets to the point of physical expression.
Many homosexuals claim, "I never asked for these feelings. I did not choose them," and this may be true. That is why it is significant to note that the Bible specifically condemns homosexual practices, but not undeveloped homosexual feelings (temptation). There is a difference between having sexual feelings and letting them grow into lust. When Martin Luther was talking about impure thoughts, he said, "You can't stop the birds from flying over your head, but you can keep them from building a nest in your hair." |

We must STOP the completion of sin...TEMPTATION IS JUST THE RESULT SOMETHING THAT ALREADY EXISTS IN U...
James 1:14 (Whole Chapter)
But every man IS TEMPTED when he is DRAWN AWAY OF HIS OWN LUSTS and ENTICED. 15Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
16Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean here. Jesus was tempted in all points as we were, yet without sin. He experienced temptation even up to the point of having to go to Calvary, as He expressed the desire to not even want to go through with it. Yet He submitted His human will and desires to the divine will and desire of the Father. We stop the completion of sin by refusing to yield our members up as instruments of unrighteousness; it is an issue of the will. We're going to experience temptation in this life on one level or another until we receive our glorified bodies. |
