Will Faith give me strength for my struggle?
Faith can open our eyes to things we have not seen before, making us very aware of what we have missed, denied, been blinded to, or just ignored.
With my own experience as a former homosexual/transgender, I have come to realize many things; one being that as individuals are introduced to homosexuality they automatically, without consideration, accept the labels & beliefs of that cult. Putting on that identity closes many other doors and draws lines in the sand that would not otherwise exist.
I was labeled a homosexual/transgender, and I accepted that without considering it as anything but “normal.” So, everything that occurred in my life after the acceptance of that deceptive identity happened to a homosexual or transgender person as far as I was concerned, in my own reasoning.
Any of the characteristics or desires of heterosexuality, or just from me being a male, were totally silenced and denied without me ever having to consider or recognize them. This was due to my own delusion of my thoughts and feelings based on an, or some, experience/s.
My brain was trained to deny anything outside of my emotional and mental state of belief. I was deceived from a very early age. Lack of intimacy, lack of Truth and lack of knowledge. Molestation and abuse can do that to an individual.
Once a person truly believes that they are something very specific, it is almost impossible to make them believe something different because it goes against their thoughts and feelings, and everything they have ever come to know, think, feel or accept in this world. This was not just something I did, it was who and what I was! I didn’t live a lie, I became the lie.
It is almost like when one of those natural, or normal, sexual urges or attractions would rear its face, I immediately denied and blocked it out because of the lie that I had already accepted; I was a homosexual/transgender. Nothing more could possibly be available to me.
I could not possibly be attracted to the opposite sex because I had accepted the identity of a homosexual person. I was blinded to everything around me that was not in line with my own thoughts & feelings; my deception.
This deception distorted my entire perception of everything that was going on around me as well as within me! For me, any male was a potential sex partner and could give me the “love” & “affirmation” that I was so desperately seeking.
My reality was distorted. My reality was not reality at all but a fantasy land of emotional turmoil and desire for attention. This had to be corrected by Faith.
Faith allows us to see things through GOD’S lens and to recognize our good, and unchangeable heterosexual design.
Faith gives sight!
As we, through Faith in Truth, reject the lie that “we are homosexual, transgender, gender-fluid, or whatever lie we have claimed, and we stop believing that we cannot change because our “orientation” is immutable, and we embrace the Truth that we are heterosexual by design; by Creation; by Intent; and in JESUS The CHRIST our identity abides, then reality can be clearly seen and healing can begin.
Mark 9:23 ~ 23 And Jesus said to him, “‘If You can?’ All things are possible to him who believes.”
It is most times our own doubts that keep us from acting and overcoming. I was a part of the lgbTQia TransQueer Rainbow “community.” I had “put on” that identity. That cult became my entire identity. The deception was very real, and I was very sincere when trapped in that false identity. Truth is, I was simply satisfying the lusts of my flesh in my journey to belong.
Just like JESUS The CHRIST said, in Mark 9:23, that “all things are possible to him who believe,” the same is true for unbelief. We become our own worst enemy by not believing Truth and by believing the lies. Those lies trap us, and we are caught up in the web of deception against our own selves and only JESUS The CHRIST can rescue us as we hang on that cliff clenching those rocks of deception, delusion, perversion, addiction, and so on.
Faith is what we gain, and what grows as we surrender and trust The FATHER.
