I had a dream where myself and my partner had decided we needed to ask Jesus to turn us straight. We were both really committed to doing this. So we approached Jesus and asked him to change us. Jesus became offended and walked away. We were shocked because we thought/expected Jesus to be pleased and say "well done, I will change you". We were both wondering why this would offend Him. A few seconds later Jesus came back to us and said "I am your brother, I never judged you".
And that was the big penny drop moment for me.
Its religion that says "God hates gays" not Christians.
God isnt even a god of hate. He loves us all. We are all his creation. Jesus loves us all too! And he never judges us.
ALL those that believe in Jesus Christ and ALL those that confess his name and ALL those that confess that he is their saviour will be saved!
There are so many people out there that are very quick to quote scripture on homosexuality but they ALWAYS and intentionally omit the fact that if you confess Jesus as your saviour then you'll be saved. The plan of salvation is for whosoever, WHOSOEVER believeth in the Lord.
There are many religious people out there that arent going to make it into heaven. They lift themselves up above everyone else. They turn their backs on gay people instead of trying help them. Religious people fail to understand that being a Christian is about relationship and not religion.
Many will say on judgement day "Lord, Lord did I not prophecy in your name....etc.", to which the Lord will say "depart from me, I never knew you".
Because of the opression of gays many do end up in sexual immorality as they are not free to live in a normal relationship openly. They are led to believe that gay venues, clubs and parties are all they have. They are fed all these false and demonic ideas on what it is to be gay and how they are free to live as they feel. And religion just enforces this demonic decption.
And lastly, the only "illness of the mind" is denying Jesus is Saviour.
Praise and glory to God!
Amen
