SAME-SEX ATTRACTIONS AND SEXUAL IDENTITY

Do you identify as gay, transgender, bisexual, or struggle with same-sex attraction? Are you involved with the LGBTQ community, but question who you are and want answers about your sexual feelings? Were you wondering why you were born with specific sexual feelings? Have you often said to yourself, “I was born this way” so there’s nothing wrong with me or what I’m doing? Are you a Christian that struggles with same-sex attraction and want to be free from homosexuality or lesbianism? At Global Freedom Ministries we offer support groups and private one on one counseling for individuals who are searching for answers. We believe that the love of Jesus is strong enough to meet you right where you are! Same-sex attraction involves emotional, sexual, and physical feelings to a person of the same gender. In God’s plan, sexual purity is integral to our happiness and glorifies our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Jesus reserved sexual relations exclusively for a man and woman in marriage, as it exemplifies the union between Jesus Christ and His church. If you are struggling alone, know that there is reconciliation through Jesus Christ! Global Freedom Ministries is available to walk with you as you embark on your expedition of discovering who you are in time and in eternity! Call now and walk in transformation and newness of life.

Testimonials

For years I thoroughly enjoyed sniffing men’s toes for sexual gratification. I was born with this desire and often felt ashamed that I could not shake this inclination. Through Jesus Christ, I was able to understand who I am, my purpose, and my authority as a born again Christian. Today I am free from this fetish and inclination and desire! Hallelujah! I give all the praise to Jesus for He is a great deliverer!

After being molested by my father, I harbored anger towards men and drifted towards women sexually. I honestly could not understand why “God” allowed that to happen to me. If “God” was so “good”, why didn’t he protect me? I was always a loner and I eventually identified as a lesbian and found a connection with the LGBTQ community. I’ve always felt something was missing and that I was out of place in life. I felt the Lord was tugging at my heart and after praying and connecting with believers in Christ, I found peace with my past and am happily married to my husband. I was notorious for telling people, “Love is love” and “Just be you” until the love of Jesus broke through my pain, my beliefs and what I thought was right. I’ve learned that I was truly created in God’s image, and I am enjoying living each day looking, becoming, and resembling my Father through my actions and my daily walk with Christ.

Complexity

However, people may not understand precisely why same-sex attraction occurs. For many, it’s a complex human experience beyond understanding. No matter your experience or struggle with same-sex attraction, you are still God’s child deserving kindness, compassion, and a supportive environment to overcome it.

Many people struggling with same-sex attraction may find it inevitable. But in most cases, the source of these feelings usually lies deep within the individual psyche. In such situations, developmental psychology and trait development help explain these concepts.

At Global Freedom Ministries, we have a program and resources to help people in the process and a member’s area for emotional support and encouragement.

Overcoming Same-sex Attraction

There is a place for self-control where you can subject your feelings to your desired outcome regardless of what your emotions tell you. However, it takes discipline and determination. Also, with our support, care, and non-judgmental values at Global Freedom Ministries, it is possible.

Another simple approach to facing the struggle is following a values-led approach. You may need a counselor or another professional to guide you successfully. Biblically, feelings don’t make you who you are, but values, conscious commitment, and beliefs do.
We believe anyone can overcome same-sex attraction and live a fulfilling life with the right help, support, guidance, care, and by contending what God reveals to us through the scriptures.

Additionally, it is vital to understand that same-sex thoughts and feelings don’t have to cease before making a reasonable decision. The choice is primarily based on how you respond whenever the feelings arise. A simple way of making a concrete decision is directing your thoughts positively.

You can achieve it by engaging with supportive friends, cultivating a deeper involvement with your faith, or establishing a broader network of caring relationships, groups, and counselors, such as Global Freedom Ministries.

In many cases, people who follow such principles or approaches experience a sudden change in their sexual attraction, breaking free from the bondage of same-sex attraction. It is mainly fueled by your attitude towards yourself, altering self-identity labels, thoughts, beliefs, and understanding your rightful standing with our loving God.
