Tired of living a double life, a homosexual man walks up to his pastor to let him know he is leaving God and the Church but the pastor's response dumbfounded him.
While he expected to be criticized and barraged by Bible quotations, the pastor simply said to him with the sincerest, most compassionate smile on his face as he gazed into his eyes, and with the calmest tone of voice,
"I know what you've been going through and I am not going to allow you to walk out on God because of a struggle."
The pastor didn't even address the issue at hand, he rather addressed his purpose in life.
The love the pastor showed him (rather than condemnation) made this homosexual have a reality check that God's purposes for his life were greater than what he was dealing with and he walked away with a fresh revelation of the love of God.
Here is what this ex-homosexual said,
"That crafty devil fed me lies for years and convinced me that situations in my life would always remain—he convinced me that there was no hope for freedom as it related to my sexuality.
Deliverance from homosexuality for me was never about becoming a heterosexual. It was about becoming a Son of God.Deliverance is our right!
If you are in a situation where the enemy is trying to pin you with an identity that doesn't line up with the word of God, declare the truth of God over your life and refuse to accept the lies of the enemy.
There is extreme danger in exchanging the truth of God for a lie (Rom. 1:25) and this was the driving force behind my plan to dump God and the church.
Agreement with the lies of the enemy will snuff out the voice of truth and will lead one down a dark path, but choosing to believe God and take him at his word will result in divine intervention from the lover of our soul.I made a decision to believe God for my freedom from homosexuality.
People always ask me how did I do it and what was the method. Friends, there is only one method: grace through faith (Eph. 2:8).
If we will simply choose to believe God and maintain an inward posture of faith (hope), the grace of God will intervene in every area of our lives, and we will walk in the victory that was ordained for us before the foundation of the world. There was hope for me. There is hope for you.

*Thank God for the pastor who responded in love. Love Love Love that's what we need to conquer these ones for Jesus. Don't push them away.
Bring them closer to God through love. Cos its by showing them God's love will they open up their hearts to recieve Him.
