Several must months ago God spoke to me about homosexuality. I
thought about the many times we in the church have address this issue
and our actions towards those who are living this lifestyle. I must say
that we have done a poor job in trying to reach these individuals who
are living a homosexual lifestyle. We have been very hurtful through our
actions and words. Anytime we are dealing with any issue, we must first
see what the word says about it and not our opinion or what somebody
told us but really settling ourselves down to hear a clear word from the
Lord.
Genesis 1:26-28 Amplified Bible
God said, Let
Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our
likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea,
the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and
over everything that creeps upon the earth. So God created man in His
own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and
female He created them. And God blessed them and said to them, Be
fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it [using all its
vast resources in the service of God and man]; and have dominion over
the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living
creature that moves upon the earth.
We see here that God created
man in His image (resemblance) and likeness (manner,fashion, figure,
form, like as, pattern). Man was made spirit first because God is
spirit. The bible goes on to say that in the image and likeness of God
He created him; male and female He created them. In
this sentence we see clearly why God hates the spirit of homosexuality.
Not the person! Let me make that very clear. God hates the spirit of
homosexuality but he loves the person. Right in this sentence we see
that God gave man (spirit) his assignment. Some were to males, the
others female. God hates homosexuality because it robs an individual of
their assignment.
Jeremiah 1:5 Amplified Bible
Before I
formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen
instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart,
consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.
Before
God formed (frame, fashion, make, potter) you in your mother's womb, he
knew (declare, distinguish) you. I speak to you who are living this
lifestyle. Before God made you, he declared you to be a male or female
and after he declared it, He formed or made you a body to confirm what
He spoke. God uses the doctors to testify to this in the delivery room.
The homosexual spirit convinced you that even though you have male
parts, you are a woman and this spirit has convinced you that even
though you have female parts, you are a man. I must say to you that this
spirit has come to deceive you and talk you out of your assignment or
purpose. You were made to be a man. You were made to be a woman. There
is a blessing given by God that is attached to your assignment and it's
in verse 28 of Genesis 1, "And God blessed ( praise, salute,
congratulate, pronounce blessing) them". There is a fulfillment in
walking in your assignment.
I know that things have happened in
your life that gave this spirit an entry way or open door to your life
and God knows it too. He is a loving father who is after you, not in a
condemning or judgmental way. He is like a parent who sees his or her
child in danger and runs to rescue them. You wondered if you were born
this way but I pray today that after reading this that this would
finally convince you that God never made you to be something other than
what He'd created you to be. I release this word to you not in a tone of
hate but love.
Now I speak to the church. Stop calling these
precious ones fags and dikes. Stop speaking these cruel and hateful
words across the pulpit. You are not speaking on behalf of God when you
use this type of language. It's time for the church to get a clear
revelation from the Father and stop walking around in Pride saying we
know what to say or how to address an issue. Let's stop making one sin
bigger than the other or putting the spot light on one sin and not
addressing sin for what it is, sin. Stop trying to scare the Hell out of
people but release the love of God that show them how to avoid Hell! A
place that was never made for none of us in the first place. Let's
present the salvation message in a way that they can choose for
themselves what they want to do.
We must remember that the bible
says in Ephesians 6:12 that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but
against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the
heavenly places. It will never be about the flesh but always about a
spirit. Let us walk with understand and war with understand, not praying
and preaching amiss. Let not our goal be just to sound good but to
release and prove that what is good and acceptable and perfect will of
God (Romans 12:2).
