Six things the Bible says about homosexuality. Now first and foremost, the Bible says that
homosexuality is not God's intention for sexual expression. In Genesis 2:24 it says,
"and a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife and they shall become
one flesh." Hebrews 13:4 it says, "a marriage is honorable among all and the bed undefiled,
but fornicators and adulterers God will judge." So God's intention for a sexual relationship,
now the way God created us in His image and in His likeness was for a man and a woman to be
together. The second thing is the homosexual practice brought disastrous judgment of God
upon the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, in Genesis 19:4 - 8, you can see that this city was judged
for the homosexuality. Homosexuality was not the only behavior there and for people who are like,
oh this was not about that, they just were not hospitable, see in Jude chapter 7 in the
New Testament, it gives us an insight of why they were judged. Jude chapter 7 says, "just
the Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and
pursued a natural desire served as an example by undergoing a punishment of Eternal fire." In
2 Peter 2:6 it says, "by churning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes, he condemned them
to extinction making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly." Now 80% of
the AIDS victims are homosexuals and AIDS brings judgment of premature death. The average age of
homosexual men who dies of AIDS is 39 years of age and 41 years of age of other causes, only one% of
gay men live to be 65 or older and gay men are 3 times more likely to have alcohol and drug abuse
issues and so that just shows us already we're not even talking about what God is going to do when we
face him, but what is happening right now, there's a judgment that is already being released on this
lifestyle that is involved with the way that God did not create us to be. The third thing the Bible
teaches us about homosexual behavior is that it's condemned as an abomination in the Bible. Now in
our culture it's celebrated as something that is an alternative lifestyle, you're encourage
to come out of the closet and there's a month of pride, especially in the United States, you know
where we are proud to be homosexuals or people who are living this lifestyle. In the Bible, in
the Old Testament, the Bible calls it abomination. Leviticus 18:22 it says, “you shall not lie with
the male as with the woman, it is an abomination.“ In Leviticus 20:13 it says, “if a man lies with
the male as with the woman, both of them committed an abomination.“ So what our culture calls pride,
God calls abomination. Now the Bible prohibits us to have sex in 7 areas or in 7, with 7 kinds of
people, with our parents, with their children, with their siblings, with another spouse, with
animals, with dead people, and with the same sex, so don't see this as if this is the only thing,
there's other 6 areas where the Bible condemns sex with children, parents, siblings, and etc.
You may say, well, God, you know is not going to tell me what to do with my body, actually he can,
if he created it and he put certain perimeters, now you can rebel against God and do your own
thing, but if you want to live in his blessing and you want to please God, this is the area that you
have to conform your mind to. Number four, the practice of homosexuality is an unnatural state
rooted in the fallen nature. Homosexual behavior is condemned as vile and shameful, now that's in
the New Testament. In the New Testament, in Romans 1: 26 -27 Paul says that “God gave
them up to dishonorable passions,“ he doesn't call them proud, good passions, you should be proud of,
it says dishonorable passions, “for the women exchange natural relations for those that are
contrary to nature, and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed
with passion for one another man committing shameless acts with men and receiving in
themselves the due penalty for their error.“ As we already have seen, there's punishment that happens
and Paul in the book of Romans, he tells us about that we're going contrary to nature,
now for those people who say that the Bible is silent in the New Testament concerning homosexual
orientation or homosexual behavior, well this is a Scripture, the Bible says, God gives us up,
now if you read the book of Romans chapter one, you will see that it talks about when
we exchange the truth of who God is for a lie, when we, because of our ungodliness suppress
the truth first, then we exchange the truth, and then what happens is God gives us up, it's not
that God gives up on us, it's that God gives us up to our own passions, we become prisoners of
our passions and then we now no longer control ourselves, we actually are controlled by our
urges, our desires and the idea here is actually, idolatry, the idea here is worship, if you go back
to the Garden, you will realize that when satan had removed Adam and Eve's view of God as Lord,
and you will see that from the beginning, when satan came and it says this, that has God said,
he removed the word Lord God. Previously, you will see always references to the Lord God, the Lord
God, but when satan starts the temptation, it was God said, meaning, he removes the lordship of God,
because see, when you rebel against the Lord, then you have to redefine good and evil,
because the moment he removed the Lord out of the God for Adam and Eve, then he says,
God says this is not good, he says, that's not true, and that's exactly how humanity has been
living ever since, when you rebel against God as your Lord, you will have to redefine your morals
because now God doesn't decide what's right, what's wrong, you do, in fact it's not even you,
you're the lowest nature of your passions, your cravings, your biology dictates what's right,
dictates your theology and that's exactly what's happening in Romans, Paul is saying that when you
suppress the truth because of your sin, then you exchange the truth for a lie, you begin
to build images made in your image and likeness to worship, instead of God, he says, God gives
you up to your passions and so that's really the problem and the root, not just with homosexuality,
with fornication, with any kind of sexual sin and perversion, the issue is not the sin as
much as the root of it, and the root is that we worship the creation, instead of the Creator,
is that when we worship the Creator, we enjoy creation, when we worship the creation,
we rebel against the Creator and we redefine good and evil, and so that's why we see this happening
in the book of Romans. Now as Christians, we must understand is that we are not worshiping love,
we're worshiping God, who is love, love is not God, culture has made God out of love,
God is love, as Christians we submit to God, we submit our passions to God, we submit our desires,
our biology, we submit all of it to God because he created us and he knows what's the best for us.
Okay so that's what the Bible teaches us. The fifth thing we see about homosexuality is the
practicing homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God. Now for those of you who are
watching this, and maybe you are a homosexual, by now probably you're mad, okay, take a chill pill,
this is the Scripture, it has the power to change your life. God doesn't want to take anything from
you, but he wants to remove things that are not supposed to be there, that this is not about you
know hating on people, this is not about not being kind to people, this is not about that,
this is about removing that behavior and removing that nature that wants to do bad. You may say,
well I was born this way, my friend, all of us, we need to be born again, including you.
In 1 Corinthians 6:9 it says this, “do you not know that unrighteous will not inherit
the kingdom of God, do not be deceived, neither the sexually immoral, nor idolater, nor adulterer,
nor man who practice homosexuality.“ 1 Timothy 1:9-10 it says, “the law is not laid down for the
just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane,
for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murders, for sexually immoral men who practice
homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers and whatever is contrary to sound nature.“ Have you
noticed that you can be a genuine Christian and struggle with homosexual orientation or
attraction, there is no sin in being tempted with something, temptation to be tempted with something
is not a sin, but you cannot be a Christian and be a gay Christian, meaning somebody who accepts this
as your lifestyle, somebody who accepts this as your truth. Christians identify with Jesus, they
are Christian christ-like and Jesus wasn't gay, Christians don't identify with their sexuality,
they identify with their spirituality. Christians don't let their issues, even if it's a same-sex
attraction, they don't let their issues become their identity, the unnatural attraction doesn't
define you, the moment you begin to practice their behavior and call it, that is who I am,
my friend, this is where you're crossing the line from being a Christian to being gay, and adding
gay Christian, is an oxymoron, it's like a hating Christian, it just doesn't work, it cancels each
other, and so you can't be a gay Christian, you can be a Christian that's struggling with
homosexual tendencies, the same way you can be a Christian that's struggling with pornography,
but struggling and justifying something and making something that's who you are, are two different
things, now if you're not a Christian and you're living that out, and you're practicing homosexual,
like this doesn't apply to you, you're your own God, you make rules as you go, you're gonna have
to face eternity, you can have to face the God, the Creator of heaven and earth, you're gonna
have to give an account for your life and so, and I would encourage you to get right with him today,
through his son Jesus Christ, instead of living like you're your own God, because there's going
to be repercussions for that. Now the message of Christianity is not to be heterosexual,
the message of Christianity is to be holy, I love how one former lesbian pointed out that God never
said, thou shall be heterosexual, because God the Lord, your God is heterosexual. The Bible says,
“thou shall be holy for the Lord thy God is holy,“ so it's holiness not being heterosexual,
that's our goal. Okay and so it's important to kind of keep that in mind, our goal is not for
every homosexual to become heterosexual, our goal is for every homosexual, heterosexual to
become holy, because you can be heterosexual and commit fornication, commit adultery,
and commit other sins that are not pleasing to God, so it's holiness, that's our standard,
not trying to make every person straight, though, for a lot of homosexuals, they will experience the
miracle in healing and they will begin to have attraction for the opposite sex and eventually,
enjoy the gift of marriage that God has prepared for all the human race.
The sixth truth that the Bible teaches us about homosexuality is homosexuals can be saved like
every other sinner. In 1 Corinthians 6:11 it says “and such were some of you,“ if you remember,
I've read earlier that Paul is highlighting people who are homosexuals, people who are thieves,
who are sinners, who are pretty much people born in sinful nature, and are living out their sinful
nature, and now he's saying, such were some of you homosexuals, included lesbians, included,
he says, “but you were washed, you were sanctified and you were justified in the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ by the Spirit of our God,“ such were some of you but you were washed sanctified and
justified. Homosexuality is not a sin God cannot forgive, homosexuality is not something that God
cannot redeem, and God cannot sanctify, and God cannot justify, meaning, God not justify their
behavior, but he cannot pull you out from the... he cannot redeem you from, that he cannot cleanse
you and purify you, even if you identify as your identity, it's not something that God cannot
include in Christ when he died on a cross, and now give you a new identity. So what do you do,
if you find yourself a homosexual? Well, the first thing is that you must submit your biology to your
theology, you must submit your life to Christ, you must submit your sexuality to God, you must repent
of your sin and place your trust in Jesus Christ. Regret, remorse feeling horrible about yourself is
not going to do it, you have to place your trust in Jesus like every sinner has to do that. I have
to do that, you have to do the same and you have to submit your sexuality. You have to choose with
determination now to change your behavior, not because you can be saved, but because you are now
a follower of Jesus Christ. Terminate homosexual relationships and choose not to be in places
where homosexual relationships or activities are encouraged. The Bible says to submit ourselves
to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to
you. Begin to take every thought captive and pray that God may energize holy desires and actions to
flee from sin, because the Bible says, “for it is God who is at work in you, both to desire and
to work for his good pleasure.“ Philippians 2:13. Now the other part that I want to mention is that
you might need to look for healing to find your full identity in Jesus Christ and deliverance
from demonic strongholds. Some people need to deal with the guilt of their past, with the trauma of
their past, they need to face the pain or maybe not having a proper relationship with a parent,
maybe they've had an abuse that has happened because of the opposite sex and now these roots
of homosexual desires have taken root and this needs to be broken through repentance, through
renouncing, and through releasing forgiveness. Some people have developed strongholds in their
mind of lies, because of the breakdown of a marriage relationship in their parents,
and the deficit of the child's lack of sense, sense of identity and love and nourishment, caused
these strongholds to take root, and you might need to break those strongholds down, maybe you've had
a dominating mother or a weak father, and they created these perverted emotions and mindsets
toward your sexuality, perhaps you were, you know seduced by your peers or authority figures,
in fact 85% of lesbians were abused or molested, 40% of gay men were seduced or molested by older
gay men when they were young boys, we prayed for people who have had experiences where the spirit
of lesbianism actually entered, and then the stronghold of these lies and perversion was built,
because they were used and so you might have to deal with the root, it's not just about coming
to Jesus and for Jesus to chop the fruits of a homosexual behavior, but it's also going to
the root and dealing with the stronghold, dealing maybe with the demon or with the lie or with the
hurt that caused this to flourish in your life. You may need to receive prayer for somebody who
prays that, prays for deliverance from homosexual demons and breaks down homosexual strongholds, but
I do want to remind you that the course of freedom and complete healing for the homosexual is found
in a deep and radical obedience to Jesus Christ, while at the same time that he or she faces wounds
and the sins of the past. Getting deliverance from demons and curses will cancel the power of sin and
in your life, as an outcome of this journey you will be a person who will walk with integrity,
and will be willing to sacrifice all fleshly desires to be identified deeply with Christ. At
the end of the day, it's about who you're going to identify with, who you're going to worship and who
is going to set the rules in your life. Now, if you're a rebel and you're like, man, I don't want
God in my life, well, good luck to you, but we have realized that we want to turn our rebellion
into dependence and we become children of God. If you're not going to be a child of God, you're
going to be a victim and a slave of your passions, but if you're a child of God, he gives you power
over your passions, he gives you self-control, and he gives you healing, deliverance, and sets
the bar so high because his Spirit empowers you to live that, and that is holiness in
Jesus name. I hope that you are blessed by this video. I know that this is not a popular topic.
I know this could get me canceled by the cancel culture and politically correct mob and so,
but it is what it is, the Bible talks about it, I know it's very sensitive in our culture. I love
you, if you are homosexual, if you're a lesbian, I love you, I accept you but at the same time,
I want to let you know that the truth of God sets us free and God's standard is in the Word
of God and we have to conform to that standard by renewing of our mind, and not be conformed to our
culture and to our world, if you are a Christian and you're battling with that, seek help, there
is freedom and there is deliverance that exists for you, keep on fighting, do not give up just
because it's hard, we stand with you, deliverance is your portion, freedom is your portion, holiness
is your destiny. Let me know in the comments below what you learned from this video and if you have a
testimony of being delivered from a homosexuality or lesbianism, drop that in the comments below,
let's share, let's encourage each other, so that more people can find freedom from this issue.
Thank you.
