So...I have been dealing with my feelings towards other girls for a while now. Almost...two years, as a matter of fact. I have told only my closest friends. Lately, with the pressures of high school and everything, it has been getting more and more difficult. Especially since the girl that I like ALOT is in my class everyday. I know this may be grossing some of you out but honestly, I dont know what to do anymore. I'm desperate for guidance and help. I know prayer is the best thing to do and I have been praying for help with this. I know patience is also, however, the best thing.

I am a Christian. A huge one. I defend Him, love Him and talk to him often. I have so much on my shoulders and I feel sooo guilty everyday for these feelings that I experience. I can't help it, though.

A week ago, one of my guy friends asked me out and we've been dating. I can't tell him about my problem. It would wreck everything.... *sigh*
I dont know what to do. Please please please pray for me.

You are in my prayers-Does your church have christian counseling? Some larger churches do. Also-Do you have any problems at home? God bless you-keep praying.

Dear Kelsey, i have prayed on your behalf.

It seems as the spirit of homosexuality is attacking you. I agree with all of the comments above. I do not believe this is something that you should go through it alone, you do need accountability from a sound christian counselor if possible. And if not other strong christians praying for you and sharing of your spiritual progress with them.

Do you know the possibly why this spirit has a stronghold on you? Also, i do not want to sound like an old-school, but my personal view is that romantic relationships are best left for after high school. And especially for christians, after they have aquired discernment of spirits. Wouldn't it be better spiritually if you could concentrate in your education, spiritual life, and serving the Lord, and leave this relationship things for latter when you are better equipped?

But if i were you, i would try whatever it takes to flee from this sinning situation, because of the potential spiritual and emotional consequences, and scarring that could take YEARS to heal. When you have so much ahead of you.

Anyhow, this is the promise from scriptures:

"But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, 'God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble'.

Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy to gloom." (James 4:6-9)

"You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin;"
(Hebrew 12:4)

I just want to say that the hardest sins to get rid of are the ones we hide. Try to find someone who can keep you accountable. You are heading in the right direction just by posting your problem on this prayer board. Also, try to avoid other sins in your life that might weaken your spirit. The closer you stay to God the more likely you are to overcome this problem.

Kelsey: I Pray that God Delivers you from the spirit of homosexuality. That is an abomination to God. You Pray that God sets you free. I'll be Praying for you. God Bless you. ODIE

The problems of just being your age are enough. I can't imagine the pure hell you must be going through. Please understand that you are not alone. We are all praying for you and hope and pray that God will send his army of angles to help you battle this. Giving it to God means it is now his problem. Hold on to him with all your strength and all your might. Only think for today. Don't worry about tomorrow. At your age you will experience many new emotions so be watchful were they come from. Praying for you and loving the wonderful spirit in you that God sees.

First of all I must say thay you are trully headed in the right direction for true deliverance by asking God for help. The Bible clearly declares that if we resist the devil he will flee from us. But, we must remove to resist the devil. I am going through a similar problem. However, we must remember that the devil have all types of schemes that he uses to attact us. I find that a lot of people who struggle with homosexuality can be found in the church and 90% of them are on fire for God and the devil knows that. So if he can attack you with this then he knows that he got a good one. I notice you stated that you were probably grossing some people out. However the Bible says that all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. My sin may not be your sin what I struggle with may not be your struggle. But remember we all deal with something. This is something that the Lord gave me and I want to share with you. First our situation is one that your seriously have to speak to. The Bible says there is power in the tongue. You have to speak to yourself and say: God made my body and I totally surrender it to Him. Tell yourself God you gave me the power to control my body I control my body my body do not control me. A last tell that devil I refuse to go to hell over some sex. And beleive that you are coming out. Show that that devil yeah you put my weakness right in front of my face in my class but I will win this battle because remember the Battle is the Lord's it's not yours. You be blessed, be encouraged, and enjoy all of the blessings that He is giving you right now!

What if god made you this way, How do we actually know? Can you stop a person from being straight? I honestly have no experience with the homosexuality but being a heterosexual I know I would not just be able to change into a homosexual(change my sexual orientation.) Actually that would be impossible, I would be unhappy. That would not be me. I say be what you are. If that is homosexual then go for it. How do we not know that the person who wrote that part of the bible was not just biased? We should not judge people and if being with a guy is WHO you are then I say that is Ok. Just love God. The soul has no gender, So it would really not matter what gender you fall in love with, Or in your case interested in. Please just be yourself. God (in my opinion) is not someone you should be scared of. If God Did not want a man to be with a woman he would not have not made that possible in the human behavior. You can apply that to other things too. I will pray that you find happiness in anything you do. God bless you!
