God has shown you through the Bible that it is wrong. Now it is up to you to do what is right or what is wrong, to follow after Him or to follow after the lusts of the flesh. This desire is no different than any other sin. If we don't turn our back to it and walk away from it then it will take hold of us. You have to decide whether you want to follow Jesus or follow after sin.


I want to follow Jesus... I dunno. Maybe God's just upping the anty a little to test my faith. I just wish I could stand on the word with assurance. I'll try to keep going. I just need God to step in soon, my spirit is weary.

It is not God if it is not of God. What this means is that if it contradicts God then it isn't God because God cannot go against himself.

Again I say please take it to God in prayer each time these feelings start to overwhelm you. Give this problem completely over to God. It is the only way to resist the Devil.



I have countless times during worship, prayer, bible study...whatever. It keeps pushing and I've just about given up. I could keep fighting if God could give me some conviction that it was wrong again. I don't have that anymore.

It's just I'm totally numb to all the scriptures. And I feel this overwhemling force pushing me to go ahead and accept it. Every time I call on God all I feel is this presence. It's like I can't get to God or God is telling me that it's okay, which contradicts his word completly.

I can think about how God created it in the beginning, I can read on Sodom and Gomoarah (spelling?), I can the verse in Leviticus, I can read the first chapter of Romans, and everything about sexuality immorality in the New Testement. And nothing happens all I get is this feeling pushing me to accept it.
I know God is the same today, yesterday and forever. But I can't get this conviction to do wrong to leave. No matter what I do; I'm beginning to wonder if it's God. It feels like God, but it totally contradicts his word. I don't know what to do...
I've talked to my mom about it 3 times already, and my youth pastor. And I'm okay after talking to them. But about an hour or so after I talk this comes back...

I don't know if this is the right board for this or not...

But I'm at the end of my rope. I need some prayers and advice. I'm a 13 year old girl (just so everyone knows).
About this time last year I came back to God after being, severly depressed and on the verge of killing myself. (This was after a 900 mile move from San Antonio, Texas) The very day I came back to God I found I no longer had feelings for my "boyfriend" (I guess you could call him that). Later that night I woke up hearing voices, telling me tha God hated me, that all my friends would desert me and that I was gay.
Since then I've been struggling with same-sex attractions.
I was in a panic. I talked to my mom about it a few days later, she said all the usuall parent stuff: "We'll love you no matter what. God loves you. You don't have to decide what you want to do right now".
And I was ready to accpet my new "identity". But something kept me from it. And I started looking for other answers. I read about people who had come out of the gay lifestyle and were now married. That seemed like a capital idea. So I prayed for God to make me striaght or get me out of this for about 5 months before anythig major happened. I started getting very close to God and decided to get baptized. I hardly had any (if at all) attraction during those two months. I was so happy.
But in the last month or so, I don't feel any conviction to change. All I hear are people saying I'm fine the way I am. And I don't want this at all. I'm going to high school this fall, and I need to have this sortted out by then.
I know God's word says homosexuality is wrong. It says the same thing about it as fornication and adlutery. "Flea sexual immorallity".
But I don't know how long I can go on anymore. I'm started to get depressed again. I can't find any hope of changing, anymore. And I want to so bad.
Can you all pray for me or give me any advice?
