‘Targeting Homosexuals’ was the Subject Name of my email for the following reason: Yes, I want those that are ‘labeled’ homosexual to read this inspiration, but I’ve targeted homosexuals to tell them this: I am a Christian that would like to tell you that I am sorry!!! I’m sorry if you’ve ever been hurt by a Christian, because we as Christians are not on this Earth to label you, persecute you, judge you… we, by definition of Christian (a follower of Jesus Christ), are supposed to LOVE you!!!
Jesus tells us, in the Bible, that He didn’t come to this Earth to condemn or judge us, but that He came to SAVE us – ALL of us (John 3:16-17). This inspiration was written to inspire all of us with the TRUTH, whether we are ‘the best of Christians’, homosexual, bi-sexual, porn-gazers, the Pastor having an affair… everyone! Sexual Immorality is something we ALL struggle with:
Matthew 5:27 (Jesus said) “You have heard that it was said, Do not commit adultery, but I tell you that ANYONE who looks at a woman (or man) lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart...
All of us should admit to ourselves (and to God) that we have struggled with lustful thoughts. Even if you have managed to not have lustful thoughts, then that power has come from God Almighty!!!
There seems to be a ton of hatred between the Christian community and the Homosexual community and vice-versa. I don’t blame the homosexual community for hating us… if I had a sign in my face (with the screams and yells to go with it) that said “GOD HATES YOU” & “YOU’RE GOING TO HELL”… I’d be mad too! The Bible says: Romans 3:23 “For ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”.
Not ALL Christians hold hatred in their hearts towards the sexual ‘immoral’ (remember - one lustful thought = sexual immorality). I know ALL Christians are not the same, and I know that ALL ‘homosexuals’ are not pedophiles. I (and God) LOVE YOU. My hope and prayer is for you to read this entire inspiration (inspired by God). This inspiration will give you Biblical truths, but towards the end, this inspiration will also give you a SOLUTION to the problem.
This inspiration includes: 1. Introduction. 2. God’s definition of ‘sexual sins’. 3. God’s definition of marriage. 4. A reason WHY you are the way you are. 5. A SOLUTION. 6. A music video. 7. God’s love!
Stop Running Ginger Man
Most of us know the old tale about The Gingerbread Man (boy). He ran as fast as he could, away from the little old woman and the little old man. As he ran away, he yelled "Run! run! as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!" Well, we know the ‘rest of the story’ as Paul Harvey would say. No matter how fast the gingerbread boy ran, he couldn’t outrun the sly fox.
We know from reading about Jonah and the Whale, in the Bible, that we as humans can’t outrun God. We know from reading about Adam and Eve that we can’t hide from God.
In today’s inspiration, I won’t be ‘Tip Toeing Through The Tulips’ (as Tiny Tim has sung), you younger folks won’t get this joke – so I will put this another way, I’m going to tell you ‘LIKE IT IS’.
I think my heart nearly stopped beating this past summer, when I heard that Ray Boltz (known well for his Christian singing/songs) announced to the world that he too is now ‘out of the closet’. I’m not alone in my thinking when I say that I couldn’t understand how he (deep in his faith) could announce to the world that he is gay (homosexual). The sly fox has tricked him – for sure! The sly fox (Satan) is good at tricking all of us, right?
When I graduated high school, I wanted desperately to be a journalist. When I ventured out to L.A., California, I worked as a Receptionist for American Express Travel Management Serves. As receptionist, in L.A, at a travel company, most of the men (and women) in my office were homosexual or bi-sexual. Within the three year period that I worked in this office, I was able to ask many questions in regards to homosexuality, their beliefs and opinions. I also found out that these folks were caring, understanding, loving… had come from ‘normal’ Christian families…
Most of these men/women felt like they couldn’t even attempt a relationship with God or go to church, nor did they want to. Time and time again, I received comments such as these: God hates me, Christians hate me, what’s the point – I’m going to Hell anyway, I was born this way, why would God make me like this?, I can’t help it, I never knew my father, my parents don’t know, why would I ever get married - my parents never got along, my family doesn’t speak to me anymore, I never had a good male role model, I was molested as a child, I can never change…
Let me be the first to tell you, that God didn’t make you homosexual, nor does He want you to live that way. Most gay relationships don’t last very long, but hey neither do married couples huh. Within a gay relationship however, there are more fights that end up bloody, because its not natural for a man to ‘be with’ a man. There are territory issues, etc.
You are correct in assuming that you were born into a sinful world. I believe that the ability to love others is innate. To love others without conditions like you are doing, but for the cause of Jesus Christ. God designed you to care about the homeless, the elderly, men and women, as Christ loved everyone... God’s plan for you is this: for you to be His child, and to not stay a slave to sin. God wants you to be free indeed. Free to love Him (God) with all of you heart. If you could focus your love towards God and not man, then you would see miracles beyond your wildest dreams.
Ephesians 1:4 “For He (God) chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will.”
Wow! How does one get blameless, spotless, holy? Only through Jesus Christ and His sacrifice: Romans 3:20-24.
Do you want to read some great verses in the Bible? Please read Jeremiah 29:11-14. God wants you to seek Him with all of your heart, and God will do what it takes for you to seek Him with all of your heart (period)
Whether you feel homosexuality is right or wrong, please read the following, because I’m sure you realize that none of us are perfect (not even you) right? I heard on the Christian radio station recently that 3 out of 10 Pastors are ‘into’ pornography. That may or may not surprise you, but it did me! Which goes to show you that you shouldn’t put your faith into Preachers, but into God alone! You should form your opinions of TRUTH from GOD’S WORD (Bible), and I use the New International Bible (NIV), because it is easier to read and understand.
When we entered this world as infants, we were innocent, then became sinful, unholy, blameful… There are 2 kingdoms – God’s Kingdom and this Earthly kingdom (and of course Hell). When we were born, we entered this Earthly kingdom. Each one of us NEED to choose God’s FREE gift of salvation through Jesus Christ to enter God’s kingdom (Heaven), to become God’s child as He intended.
If you are not sure how to become a child of God, and would like to CHOOSE to receive God’s FREE gift of salvation and become His child, please call the radio station K-LOVE (available 24 hours/day) @ 1-800-NEED-HIM (1-800-633-3446). DO NOT WAIT!!! IF YOU DO NOT CHOOSE TO BECOME A CHILD OF GOD, YOU WILL GO TO HELL WHEN YOU DIE, and YOU WILL NOT BE UNDER GOD’S PROTECTION!!! GOD LOVES YOU JUST AS YOU ARE, AND WANTS YOU TO BE WITH HIM IN HEAVEN – YES YOU!!!
Now, going forward, I’m not going to ‘sugar coat’ any of my words. I have a message for the men and women living as homosexuals/bi-sexuals/promiscuous/sex-before-marriage/self- gratifiers (master-bation)/sex outside of marriage… I also have a message for the straight-laced Christian.
First, we are all adults. Second, I am capable of forming my own opinions, but I am going to write THE TRUTH from what I have learned by reading God’s Holy Word on this subject of sexual immorality. Third, I am in no way, shape, or form prejudiced or bias against anyone!!!
I ‘suffer’ from OCD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and my mind does not rest until I analyze and over-analyze what is on my heart, in search for the TRUTH, nothing but the TRUTH, so help me God!!!
When analyzing the following question, I toiled for an answer for days: Question: Why does God love me? Pause for a second and ask yourself – Why does God love you? Again, this simple answer took days to ‘come up with an answer. Answer: God loves me because He made me. I have asked many people this question over the years, and after a long pause, they really couldn’t answer the question ‘Why would God love them’. If you think about it, there is really no reason at all why God should love us. What did we ever do to deserve God’s love? Absolutely Nothing!!! We might understand why God would hate us, but not love us.
John 3:16 (Jesus said) “For God so LOVED the world (YOU), that he gave his ONLY begotten Son (TO DIE FOR – YOU), that whosever BELIEVES in Him (JESUS), shall not parish (HELL), but have everlasting life (HEAVEN). For God did not send his son (JESUS) into the world to condemn the world, but to SAVE the world (YOU) through him.
God did make us and He does love us – All of us!!!
I’ve heard many opinions from non-homosexuals (heterosexuals), in regards to homosexuals. First, it is NOT NICE to place labels on anyone, and if you are homosexual, I suggest you take the label off of your back, because God sees you as a creature He created. The following are the comments that I have heard: I’m just thankful that I’m not God, because I would kill them all and send them to Hell; I wish I could send them to all to their own island; We can’t have a special group at church for them – we don’t want them around our children (for the safety of our kids of course); they are disgusting; they’re going to Hell… again, I know many Christians that are Christ like and we do not share this opinion.
I am extremely thankful that we’re not God, because without God’s love, sacrifice, grace, mercy, none of us (NONE OF US) would be living today! Folks, we all deserve Hell. We should all be thankful we don’t ‘get’ what we deserve.
Psalms 86:5 “You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call on you.”
How does someone ‘end up’ homosexual? Is it a sin?
In God’s eyes – Yes! (But, God also considers one lustful look, towards another person, adultery, right?
Towards the end of this inspiration, there is a good reason WHY you are the way you are, and an explanation of WHY you struggle so much. There is also a SOLUTION… I beg you to keep reading.
Well, what about self-gratification (master-bastion), is that wrong? In God’s eyes YES. Ephesians 5:3 “but among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality…” NIV
In my eyes, I will be honest, I would rather you (self-gratify) than to molest or rape someone (especially a child)! I was molested for 7+ years as a child, and I know the hurt, shame, distrust… that comes from it!!! Luke 17:2 (Jesus said) “It would be better for him (the abuser) to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones (children) to sin. So watch yourselves.” If you have molested a child, then you REALLY REALLY need to ask GOD to forgive you!!!
In God’s eyes, a sin is a sin: Greed, Pride, Gossip… By telling (ONE) little white lie, we are separated from God, unless we repent to Him, and accept His FREE gift of salvation through Jesus Saves – Ask, Receive, Believe!
You know in your mind, heart, and soul if you are being disobedient to God by the lifestyle you have chosen. I was heavily convicted for years over self-gratification, today, after much PRAYER, and many battles with Satan, God has helped me conquer this area of life – so I know it is possible to beat Satan and this temptation (with God’s help)! Folks, this may be embarrassing to read, but Satan usually starts small, like self-gratification - then gains your thoughts. Before you know it, you are having an affair with the church secretary.
I Corinthians 6:18 “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually, sins against his own body.”
The best way to fight temptation, or lust, is the FLEE from it. Remove yourself from the situation!
Why is sex considered immoral if not done within a marriage (between a man and a women)?
I Corinthians 6:13,15-17 “…The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body… Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Should I … unite them with a Prostitute? Never! Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute becomes ONE with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.” But he who unites himself with the Lord is ONE with him in Spirit.”
Matthew 19:4-6 (Jesus said) “… at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
From the Scripture above, we know what God’s plan is for sex – marriage (between a man and a woman). God did not create Adam and Steve, He created Adam and Eve.
SOLUTION:
Now that you are aware that homosexuality or any sex (outside of marriage) is wrong in God's eyes, you may be telling yourself this: 'I don't think I know how to stop' or 'don't think I can stop'... the following is IMPORTANT.
With God’s super-natural POWERS you can conquer these temptations!!! You may be having fun now, and you don’t want to change your lifestyle because you are having fun, but I have found out personally that sin is only fun for a season. If you ask someone living with the AIDS virus how much fun they are having, well – you know what their answer would be. Being disconnected from God is not fun!
Before I tell you what can be done, I want to share with you the reason WHY. Why would God create you, just for you to be ‘weak’ and to disobey him through sex? I would like to shed some light on this question ‘why’. Why is there an attraction between a man and man, woman with woman? Deep down in your heart, you don’t do the things you do just to be rebellious. I know you are fearful of God’s wrath. Then for God’s sake WHY are you doing the things you’re doing?
Remember, I’m not talking to homosexuals only! I'm talking to the ‘best’ of Christians that also struggle with these temptations, day in and day out. The following Scripture explains in detail – WHY – we are the way we are (sexually).
WHY YOU ARE THE WAY YOU ARE?
Romans 1:21 “…for although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts became darkened.
Romans 1:24 “Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurities for the degrading of their bodies with one another…
Romans 1:26-32 “Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. (27) In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. (28) Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. (29) They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, (30) slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; (31) they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. (32) Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice the.
Look at the first verse from Romans above (bolded) – Romans 1:21, this explains WHY. We know God, but we don’t glorify Him as God, nor do we give him thanks. That is WHY.
So, how do we reverse this ‘curse’? Well, try doing the opposite of the verse above. We could GLORIFY GOD, and GIVE HIM THANKS - for starters.
We can repent (tell God that we are sorry), and we can tell Him that we need HIS HELP to CHANGE. God will listen, and He does love you!!! God wants your life on this Earth to be long; he doesn’t want to remove you. God wants to use you, to love all over you! God wants to be respected.
For many years, I thought my brain would ooze out of my head, or that my eyes would burn up by reading the Bible. Nope. Every-time I want to spend time with God, I open the Bible, and He talks to me personally. With me, my life changed in so many ways, and I started to see miracles, when I just took time for God. He will appreciate any attempt in seeking Him out. Praying is a good way to start!
Think about this. If you have a son, could you have your son or daughter killed to save the World? I can honestly say that I would not want to sacrifice my son or daughter to save the World (you). Well, God loves you so much that He did have His ONLY son Jesus die on the cross – to save YOU – yes, you!!! The only sin God will not forgive is to Not accept God’s FREE gift of salvation through His son’s (Jesus)!!!
If you want to receive God’s FREE gift (Heaven), please call 1-800-633-3446 (24 hours/day), speak to a Pastor to learn how!!! Don’t wait!!! None of us are guaranteed a tomorrow!!!
Psalms 72:12-14 “The Lord will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help. He will take pity on the weak and the needy and save the needy from death. He will rescue them from oppression and violence, for precious is their blood in his sight.”
