THIS BODY AIN’T MINE – PART 3

Hi again! Finally we got to the third and final part of “THIS BODY AIN’T MINE”. If this is the first article you are reading, I recommend you to read the part 1 and 2 of this topic at the following links: THIS BODY AIN'T MINE - PART 1 and  THIS BODY AIN'T MINE - PART 2

If in your case, the homosexual or lesbian feelings didn’t start as a result of sexual abuse but just curiosity, maybe someone that invited you to prove something different or you were pushed to this situation due to the lack of a father and you found protection and security in someone older who offered you a false “love” but just ended up taking advantage of you. It doesn’t matter how everything started, I want to tell you this:

 

IT’S A LIE! You are not a homosexual.

IT’S A LIE! You are not a lesbian.

IT’S A LIE! You are not bisexual.

The devil has lied to you all this time. Do NOT believe him anymore, the devil doesn’t have good references for you to trust him.

THE TRUTH IS: You are a man!

THE TRUTH IS: You are a woman!

 

It doesn’t matter how everything started; if it started with sexual abuse, the lack of a father, simple curiosity, wrong “friends”, etc. I want you to know that there is something spiritual behind all of this. There is something spiritual and that’s why you have noticed that it’s really hard to get out of it. It takes more than will to get out of homosexuality and lesbianism.

 

Let me explain you this. God insists us throughout the Bible to take care of our bodies.

 

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

 

When you profane your body (your temple) the Holy Spirit cannot abide there. He can’t abide in a place inhabited by sin.

 

So, what can I do?

Part of being free is to kick away sin from your temple (your body). You have to cut from the very root everything that keeps you bound, you have to cut all kind of “friendship” or relationship that keeps you bound and pushes you to be a homosexual or a lesbian. And you know what? You are right! YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO DO THIS BY YOURSELF.

It’s impossible to make it only by reading this blog. You have to run for help. To Whom? You have to run for help to someone mature and spiritual enough to guide you. Only someone who knows God, only someone who has been with God can tell you what’s in His heart for you. Let me give you a few advices that will help you get the right help:

1.       Leave your shame aside! You may feel ashamed of asking for help but I can guarantee that you’ll feel more ashamed of continuing in the same situation.

 

2.       Don’t look for help with someone in your same condition. I’m sure you have seen that it doesn’t have good results. Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit? Luke 6:39

 

3.      Maybe you’ll feel ashamed but I recommend you to seek help with someone of the same sex (a man or woman of God). Only a man can teach you to be a true man. Only a woman can teach you to be a true woman. It doesn’t matter how wise can someone be, nobody can teach you to be something that he/she is not. Seek help with someone that is older than you. Hardly someone with the same level of maturity as you will understand.

 

What will this provoke? This will provoke that the Holy Spirit abides in you. The true freedom will come. It’ll be like drinking water in the middle of the desert. Those lustful thoughts will shut up, those emotions you can’t control will disappear and you’ll be free.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17.

Maybe you heard: “When you get out of the closet, you’ll feel free” but be aware that it will make you feel a slave. The truth is that when the Holy Spirit abides in you, you’ll be totally free.

I want us to close with this prayer: “Lord Jesus, I know I have sinned against you and against my own body. I repent with all of my heart. I know you can cleanse me no matter how much I have gotten dirty. I believe you died in the cross for me and that you are my lawyer before God. Write my name in the book of life. Make me one of your children. Walk with me in this new beginning. Give me your strength and abide in me. Be my Lord and set me free. Amen”

 

ONE MORE THING: Don’t worry about the moments of desperation that will come. God will give you power and self-discipline over your emotions, your genitals and every inch of you.  Order your emotions, feelings, etc. to surrender to God.

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. James 1:12
