PREFACE SUMMARY
Dear reader, I begin this message with a burning desire to reach out to the gay community with the Love of Christ, and beloved, the truth is that I have not walked in their shoes nor have I braved their storms but one thing that I know that allows me to sleep at night and that is the very fact that God's Son Jesus died for them and deeply desires that they may find him in the power of his resurrection.
Yes, dear reader, God declares in his word found in (Psalms 8:4) that he loves mankind his greatest creation so much that he has a mindful of him.
Beloved, to answer the question about people that feel they are born gay and how that difference will affect those around them is what this entire message is about and it will require a lot of research to better understand how to reach out to those that are different with the love of God which is shed abroad in our hearts.
Dear reader, it is a sad fact that some of the church world today seem to look down on others with harsh judgement as if they are defending God!
Beloved, before we begin this message, may we examine ourselves and especially take note of the scriptures found in (1 Corinthians 6:11) which states that "and such were some of you," which means we have not always been perfect but let us take note that if we judge others, we are showing ourself before all creation that we are spiritual enough to judge which is dangerous because there is an accuser of the brethren just waiting for us to make that mistake which will grant him rights to accuse us before the high courts of heaven.
GOD LOVES SINNERS
Beloved reader, as we take note of where we were and what shape including the frame of mind we were in when the glorious light of the gospel came shinning through all the mess some of us were in, may we take time to pause in this message and shout with joy that he did not leave us that way.
Dear reader, we cannot get around the fact that God hates sin but loves the sinner and (Romans 3:23) states that we all were born with a sin nature that was passed down through the lineage of Adam but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord.
Beloved, Adam and Eve had one law to keep and they failed in keeping it because of a super powerful devil called Satan who was very successful in causing a third of God’s Holy Angels into believing his lies concerning the justice of God.
Beloved, the penalty for breaking God’s law was death and there in the Garden of Eden when they broke God's law, Adam and Eve died a spiritual death.
Beloved reader, their relationship with God who is Holy and perfect, was cut off and they were driven by the Angels from the garden to begin their life on Earth.
Dear reader, since their spiritual relationship with their creator was cut off, they could no longer look up but were forced to look out upon creation, yes beloved, when they could no longer get help from above they could only look out and measure up to the world around them.
Dear reader, does this give us a picture of where we are today in a confused messed up world with half naked men dressed as women are parading through our streets in front of children shouting they are queer and they are coming after our children. (The Devil is a Lie)
Beloved, in order to do this message some justice, we would need to look at the world from Adam to Noah and reflect at the lewdness of ungodly people that caused almighty God to repent that he ever made men.
Dear Saints, to get a better understanding of this message, we need to look in the book of Genesis the nineteenth chapter that speaks of the Angels of God appearing to Lot in the form of human men to inform him that God sent them to overthrow the city of Sodom because of their sin which had come before up him.
Beloved, have you not read where the men of Sodom came to Lot's door, demanding that the visitors "Angels" come out and have a homosexual relationship with them?
Dear reader, look closely at the scripture that warn those flaunting themselves in the face of God that the Holy Angels of God struck these Sodomites with blindness to drive them away.
Beloved reader, one might make the argument that it was for the way they took bribes from the rich and discarded the poor but my reply would be to show me in history where another entire civilization was destroyed for ignoring the poor, but I can show you where nations were judged because of their sexual sins.
Beloved, Paul reminds us that God killed twenty-three thousand Israelite people in one day for sexual sins, and in Abraham's day, God destroyed five entire cities by fire for the aberrant sexual practices taking place in their cities.
Saints, the word states in (Hebrews 10:31) that it is a fearful "dreadful" thing to fall into the hands of a living God and (Revelation 21:8) reminds us that God will judge and sentence the ungodly (those that have rejected Christ) into a burning liquefied lake of fire where the smoke of their torment will be seen forever.
Dear reader, this is why we need to exhaust every effort and avenue we can to warn sinners that one day regardless of their social standing in this life, one day they will stand before the eyes of an angry God and give an account of the life they were granted to live on his Earth.
WHY IS PORNOGRAPHY SO DANGEROUS?
Beloved, the word in (Galatians 6:7) states for us to not be deceived for God is not mocked and dear reader, please note that there is record in history proving that God sent the Israelite people into captivity for immorality, and their sexual practices.
Beloved reader, in order to get a clear view of why immorality and sexual practices such as pornography are so dangerous, we will need to do a study on the Goddess of ten thousand names called Aphrodite or Isis and beloved, did you know that this idol god was also called the god of fertility?
Dear reader, did you know that the people would have their temple worship along with their sexual orgies in honor of this god of fertility, and beloved, did you know that demon spirits would go into a frenzy as they took control of the persons engaged in this sinful act?
Beloved reader please take note that when a woman opens herself up to a man in sexual intercourse outside of marriage, she is opening herself up to a world she is not ready for and the same holds true to a man lying with another man.
Beloved, let me issue a stern waring and say that sex outside the bonds of marriage with or without protection is an open door of invitation for demon spirits which often bring deadly disease to enter your body including generational curses that have followed their family.
Beloved, please understand that because God is a perfect being, he will honor Satan’s rights to an individual especially if he has grounds to be there when you dishonor and break God's moral laws.
Dear reader, do you not understand that these lewd acts of the flesh can and will open a door to deadly diseases to come inside your body but the question most people have today is, "what is so wrong with sexual promiscuity?"
Sexual Promiscuity = one-night stands, sleeping with people of different genders, having multiple partners at the same time,
Dear reader, did you not know that when a woman engages in a sexual act, she is receiving the spirit of the male partner into her spirit including all the other sexual partners and generational spiritual baggage the male has had in his life?
Beloved reader, this is why she starts developing behavioral thoughts and patterns in her personality that she never recognized before including what we would call a soul-tie with the person she is with.
Beloved, the scary part of this is, "if that person has been with multiple partners and some especially being of the same sex, she is inviting all these spirits into her being."
Dear reader, I don't know about you but that scares the devil out of me and beloved, that is why the word says that when we engage in sexual immorality, "we are sinning against our own soul."
Beloved, did you know that if the male partner is married and commits adultery with a woman and afterward goes home and yes, has sex with his wife, he is placing his spirit along with the spirit of the woman he committed the sin with including any generational spirits following her life into the personality of his wife who without knowing, will start having the spirit of the other woman competing against her spirit?
Saints, please understand that Satan is very clever and knows what he is doing to dam our society, and I can tell you from experience that demon spirits are real and they have an organized organization to demoralize and dam God’s greatest creation which is man.
Beloved, did you know that God made Adam and Eve because he wanted a family that he could share his kingdom with and he wanted them to produce children to repopulate the Earth?
Beloved, did you know that when we violate God’s moral laws, we invite disaster into our lives because these same demon spirits that had frenzy's in the temple orgies are lurking behind the computers that are bringing filth into our homes?
Dear reader, evil spirits enter our homes through pornography, fleshly advertisements including hidden subliminal messages and when we indulge in these traps, we will start looking at decent women expecting them to carry out the acts of these people when in reality, they have come forth and stated that they are not at peace with what they are doing in making these films.
Subliminal messages = a message meant to be interpreted by the consumer below the level of conscious perception.
Beloved reader, the truth is, when we flirt with temptation, we can end up as an ox going to the slaughter as recorded in Proverbs the seventh chapter.
(Proverbs 7: 21-23) KJV (21) "With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him." (22) " He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;" (23) "Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life."
(Proverbs 7:21-23) NIV (21) "With persuasive words she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk." (22) "All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose." (23) "till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare, little knowing it will cost him his life.
DO I BELIVE PEOPLE ARE BORN GAY?
Beloved, we are nearing the end of this message and I feel that I have did my best to address this important issue concerning "LGBT" people, and I have did it through the love that I have for all people but to fully address this question, we must take in consideration that some people either through a gene problem or some other situation have endured a trauma in their life through being taken advantage of by someone they trusted.
Dear reader, I believe the facts speak for themselves, that most gay people can reflect back on their life and remember an encounter by another adult person taking advantage of them which allowed an evil spirit to enter and cause them to start having strange thoughts which altered their lifestyle and do you understand that I said lifestyle for this kind of behavior must be practiced or acted out?
Beloved reader, it does not matter what the world courts have to rule on this matter, because in the end, God will bring a correction to his creation and it does not matter how many surgical operations or hormones people take to practice this lifestyle, the truth is that we are more than flesh and blood.
Beloved, did you not know that we are spiritual eternal beings being granted the opportunity to inhabit a human body so we can learn what it is like to experience life and everything associated with it?
Beloved, these dignitaries, lawmakers, including supreme court Judges must die one day and when they do, they will face the one they say does not exist and in the end, they will be made to stand before him without council.
Dear reader, did you know that even the highest order of witches will tell you that there is a higher order that they dare not cross and it is called the forbidden territory to them?
Beloved in closing, I will make a bold statement and say that all gay people are welcome to attend our services and we will strive to always extend a warm hand of welcome to them but because of our convictions, we believe the bible to be the inspired word of God therefore we must stand and base our beliefs upon it for in the end, it will be our judge.
Dear ones, the fact of the matter is, it does not matter what our opinion is on the subject of people parading the streets half naked kissing one another in public like something out of a horror movie, God will have the last say and all I have to say to people is that there is one heartbeat between you and eternity therefore the lifestyle you live better be good enough to die with for all will die then after death there will be the Judgement. (Hebrew 9:27)
Dear reader, did you know that God's holy bible which is his constitution between God and man is the only book that you will read that will actually read you and because we adhere to the blessed Holy word of God which he honors above his name, let it be known that we will not engage in nor will we condone this homosexual lifestyle which is a practiced lifestyle which usually holds the persons engaged in these acts in bondage.
Beloved, God's Son Jesus gave his life for sinners and the word states that we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God which is God's holy way of life.
Saints, God help us church as the body of Christ, not to place ourselves in a position to condemn those that are different than us, but may we humbly reach out to them with the Love of the risen Christ which resonates within our heart.
Beloved, my prayer is that this message not be taken wrong, and no I admit that I do not have all the answers, neither will I sit in a place of judgment treating certain groups of people that are different with disgust, but I will show the Love that God has placed within my heart.
Dear reader, my prayer is for God to help us to Love the sinner but Hate the sin and it does not matter what sin it is, "for sin is sin and its wages bring death," therefore may we consider ourselves and remain humble before God and consider ourselves less we be tempted.
GOD IS A PERSON AND NOT A FORCE
Dear reader, we learned earlier in this message that when we violate God’s moral laws, we invite disaster into our lives because these same demon spirits that had frenzy's in the temple orgies are lurking behind the computers that are bringing filth into our homes through pornography and advertisements.
Beloved, we find that Revelation chapter twenty one states that God will sentence the sexually immoral to the Lake of Fire, right along with murderers, idolaters, liars, and other unrepentant sinners.
(Romans 1:18-20) (18) " For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;"(19) "Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them." (20) "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"
(Romans 1:21-25) (21) "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened." (22) "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools," (23) "And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things." (24) "Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:" (25) "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen."
(Romans 1:26-27) (26) "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:" (27) "And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet."
(Romans 1:28-32) (28) "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;" (29) "Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers," (30) "Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents," (31)"Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:" (32) "Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."
Beloved, do you remember Star Wars and the famous saying “The force is with us” or what about the series featuring the dinosaur called “Godzilla” who is a type of large dinosaur that when they get in trouble, this huge dinosaur is going to breathe fire as he subdues their enemies and becomes their savior as he rushes to rescue them from danger?
Dear reader, did you not know that Paul points out in the book of first Corinthians the ninth chapter that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God, and we discover that (Romans 1:23) speaks of a generation that attempts to change the image of the uncorruptible God which is clearly seen in creation even his Eternal power and Godhead into an image of made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts and creeping things.
Dear reader, did you know that we find in Romans the first chapter verses twenty six through thirty two listing people practicing sins so great against their bodies and against nature that our righteous God had no choice but give them up to their own lusts and unto vile affections to do things against nature? (Romans 1:26-32)
Beloved, there are strict warnings about people committing such horrible acts that they bring a generational curse on their family. (Deuteronomy 5:9) "Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,"
Beloved reader, this verse should be a solemn warning that there is something being passed down through generational genes of which the young must pay for the sins of their fathers.
Dear reader, if you ask me if I personally believe being gay is wrong and do I believe there are people born that way, I would be forced to reply that it does not matter what I personally believe, for I believe the word of God to be true and factual and to answer the question; I can only go back to what the word has to say about it, for in the end, it will be our Judge therefore let us remember that God honors his word above his name. (Psalms 138:2)
Dearly beloved, our God is a God of covenant and when we look into his holy word, we will discover his character, his promises and his faithfulness to watch over his word which is greater than all for he honors his word above his name.
Beloved, my bible tells me that he that knew no sin "Christ" was made sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in him, and beloved, the word is plain and easily understood when it declares that God’s Son Jesus came to seek and save sinners! (2 Corinthians 5:21)
Dear reader, God is not a respecter of persons and there is no big sin or little sin and lust when conceived bringeth forth sin which the end of sin when it is finished bringeth forth death both spiritually and physically. (James 1:15)
THE SEXES ARE NOT THE SAME
Dear reader, there are many unanswered questions concerning people including many government leaders that have desired to be recognized as being gay and I admit that I do not have all the answers and I do not understand how some people can be born with two sexual organs.
Beloved, some might ask if we think that maybe God made a mistake in their genes or what took place to cause this abnormality, and my answer would be that God is incapable of making mistakes therefore why did this happen?
Beloved reader, there are some things that we will never know or understand until we cross out of this life but things get altered when we step out of the bounds of his protection and start opening ourselves up to the arch enemy of our souls who hates us no matter how much we live for him because we are created in God's image and likeness or in other words easy to understand, we are a mirror image of God on this Earth.
Beloved, when God put Adam to sleep and took out his rib to make him a help meet to comfort or complete him, the references on that very part clearly show that God took and made some creative changes to Adam.
Dear reader, did you know that when God made Eve, he took the feminine side from Adam and no longer did both the left and right side of the brain work in a male child like it does in a female for God made sure there would be a noticeable difference which would cause the male to be drawn toward his mate?
Beloved, did you know that the female has a hormone that is produced in her body which cause a sealing bond between her and her child and the man does not have that hormone like she does but beloved, when a man is intimate with his wife and he is fully satisfied, that same hormone is produced which bonds him to his wife?
Dear reader, did you know medical doctors have proved that the pelvis in a male is different from a female for they are uniquely designed by a master creator to match with the organs they protect?
Saints, our God took great care to distinguish the difference in the sexes and the arch accuser and deceiver has invented extremes to alter this plan and we see it carried on from the sodomites all the way through the emperors of Rome to our society indoctrinated through Hollywood and hidden subliminal messages in their advertisements which has been proven.
Dear reader, God not only made eve different but he gave her some curves and tightened up her skin to make her attractable to Adam so they could be intimate and produce children to fulfill his plan to re-populate the Earth.
Beloved, the bottom line is we can lengthen or shorten our days and one morning, noon, or night, we are going to leave this world and the same way we came into this world is the same way we will leave this world.
Dear reader, the best advise we can receive is what we believe and fight for had better be good enough to die with for when we die, we will not go to sleep and lose consentaneous but will be out of this body and into our soul man because we are spirit beings and we cannot die, therefore let us not be like the rich man found in (Luke 16:19-31) and enter an eternity that we are not prepared for because the word says in (Matthew 16:26) "for what would it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul?"
MY CONCLUSION
Dear reader, I pray that this message has been used of the Lord to open your eyes to the reality that we are not of this world and we are just passing through for we are spirit beings inhabiting a human body to learn what it is like to love, to hurt when someone betrays us and in actuality, the Lord has granted us this privilege because a spirit cannot learn and touch the world around it without being in a body for it is against the law to be here without a body.
Beloved reader, the bottom line to this message is, "God has granted us a few moments on this planet to experience life and learn first hand just how dangerous sin is not only to us but to all creation."
Dear reader, in my closing remarks, let me say that when attempting to write a conclusion for this message, the Lord reminded me of an incident that took place in the late 1990's in upstate New York in the USA which was when I was in the middle of my forty three year driving the big eighteen wheelers across the US and Canada.
Beloved, I remember that I ran the long distance from Kingsport, Tennessee to Rochester, New York quite a bit for Eastman Kodak and on this occasion, I had stopped in a rest area on US 15 just south of interstate 90 in New York.
Dear reader, I loved flowers with a passion, and I remember walking out of the rest area into an adjoining field to look at some pretty flowering bushes that were in full bloom.
Beloved, while I was bending over admiring the bushes, a gentlemen had walked up beside me looking very neat, strong and he presented himself to me as a nice person.
Dear reader, the man began to inform me of the native origin of the flowering bushes then without warning, the man leaned over and grabbed me in my private parts.
Beloved, I looked at the man and asked him to not do that to me for I am a man of God to which he dropped his hand and started weeping.
Dear reader, it was at that time that I heard the Lord speak inside me and inform me that the devil may have his mind but he does not have his spirit which inspired me to seek God for his deliverance.
Beloved, I informed him what the Lord had revealed to me and he started weeping as I said, "I know you do not want to do what this spirit enslaves you to do by sitting in a rest area all night flashing your lights looking for someone to be with to which he said, "Preacher, you will never know how many times I have went to churches hoping someone could help get me free?"
Belove reader, I replied to the man, Mister, you do not have to worry anymore for God has his man here just for you and that devil is leaving you and your going to get free today."
Beloved, back then I was so prayed up usually up to five hours a night for as I followed the hood on that diesel truck that was carrying my load hours at a time, I used that time to talk with God.
Dear reader, I had the man renounce the devil including any generational curses that may have followed his family and then I said, "you foul spirit that has plagued this man, you must go in Jesus mighty name for you have heard him with his mouth and his spirit say that he rejects and detests you; and now by the power of the written word and the authority in the name of Jesus, you come out and set this man free."
Beloved, the same delegated authority that was given to Jesus by the father was given unto his body on earth which is the church.
Dear reader, we can read in the scriptures found in Luke the twenty second chapter where the same authority God delegated to Jesus, was delegated by Jesus to his church.
Beloved, Jesus is the name that God recognizes because God raised him from the dead and set him at his own right hand making him both Lord and Christ.
Dear reader, just as I was finishing my prayer, the power of God fell on that man and he shouted all the way out of that field back into the rest area where people had gathered shouting, "I am free, I am free, my Jesus has set me free."
Beloved in closing, I never heard from that man again but I have many stories like that which can be found in my book, "18 wheels and Jesus" which can be downloaded for free from our website witheredhand.org.
Be Blessed and be a Blessing!
