The Rage of the Body, Soul and Spirit - Gay conflicts......




This is a battle between body, soul, and spirit.  Which one will win in the end?  If you put up a fight and learn the principle of being "dead" to sin and learn to walk in the Spirit, you will win.  There will be a double reward from God for your efforts!

If you are an ex-gay or even a gay seeking to be free from homosexuality, you can put on your heavenly armor and be ready to fight, and you will win!  When you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior, this sin is atoned for by the Blood of Jesus and God is on your side when you want to fight this battle and this battle can only be won by seeking to walk in the Holy Spirit everyday!

Homosexuality needs a spiritual deliverance and many, many have gotten out of it through deliverance ministries, prayer, and the Word of God healing them.  It is clearly not natural and does need a deliverance.

Is is Wrong or Right?

The premise of homosexuality has to be first understood before we can deal with it.  The world lashes out fire and fury at the "old-fashioned" word "sin" and people are forced to use euphemisms to replace the old stony hard word "sin."  The word "sin" in Greek is called hamartia and means "missing the mark" or "to err."

While we may say that Jesus never spoke against homosexuality, we fail to realize that Jesus' 30-year ministry on earth was for the "lost house of Israel" and He did not have to address the Jews on homosexuality because they did not have homosexuality in Israel in those days as the Old Testament condemned it so strongly.  Later, Paul whose ministry was to the Gentiles had to address the Gentiles of homosexuality as it was prevalent among them.  In II Peter 3:15-16, Peter gives weight-age to all of Paul's epistles as Scripture. Romans chapter one being part of an epistle written by Paul, is considered also as scripture! According to the original Greek translation, in Romans 1, Paul addresses the issue of the unnatural affection (physical union) between people of the same gender.  Romans 1:26 also refers to this affection (physical union) as against the very design of nature.  Romans 1:27 referring to this physical union, men working out physical with men that which is unseemly (KJV).


The Bible is spiritually inspired and has never changed...and clearly defines it is not to be done.   The Bible is written by 40 authors over spans of centuries from different fields of profession, they never met each other once nor read each other's writings, yet it is the same consistent thought and teachings as if it were one person, which is a marvel. It is spiritually God inspired Holy Book with no contradictions.



Many Gays were Sexually Exploited as Children
Today, the homosexuality theory of it being in one's DNA is not really true.  The truth is that many young boys or girls were sexually exploited ruining their sexuality and many turned gay later on.... I have seen that trend and history and it even runs through family lines.  It is an subtle evil that no one was identify clearly, thinking they were born that way, but really it was a trend of rape and incest in some family lines, and in others, familiar known people inflicted this ruin on children to destroy them forever.  They think they were born gay, but many were exploited at so young ages they can barely remember it.

Many homosexuals are entrapped in it, so react in anger if people address them for this sin.   Those who are walking in darkness and souls entrapped cannot see the Truth, they cannot perceive the Light and the things of spirit are dead to them, so we need to promote the Truth of God in love and not hate and need to pray much more for the souls entrapped and for deliverance, for them to see the Light and be set free.

I knew of a young man in Bangalore who was a homosexual and struggled with this.  Then one day, he accepted the Lord Jesus as his Savior and something literally lifted out of him and he felt washed and lighter within him.  He got a whole new life and was virtually delivered.  He started a ministry to help other homosexuals, and many got delivered, and got out of it, some through a lot of prayer and deliverance.  Today, this young man is married; he has a wife, a woman, to be precise.  


God is a God of love, but His holiness precedes His other attributes.  His holiness demands righteousness and purity.  His sense of justice and righteousness are satisfied by Christ's death on the Cross. Our sins are atoned by the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ our Savior, on the Cross, but in order to receive that righteousness and purity, one needs to come to Jesus, who forgives and delivers people from besetting sins.


Why Homosexuality is Wrong
1.  Goes Against God's Institution of Marriage:  Marriage is instituted in Heaven, established by God in Paradise for our first parents, Adam and Eve.  In Genesis: “God created man in His image; in the Divine image he created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them, saying: ‘Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it.’” (Gen. 1:28-29)

The same was taught by Jesus Christ: “From the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother; and shall cleave to his wife.” (Mark 10:6-7).

2.  It Is Not In Harmony With Natural Law:  When something is not harmonious in nature, it breeds bad consequences and disaster for a nation.  Natural law is universal and immutable, never changes and applicable to humans equally man and woman.  Even animals were made male and female and the species goes on…. So likewise, God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve, the famous idiom.

In the unnaturalness of it, it harms a nation, a family, children, and self.
Nation:  A nation grafted in an open culture allowing homosexuality has actually brought more disaster on itself with its open willingness to accept right as wrong.   Do not want to mention nations, but have observed the patterns of falls in nations who deviated from Truth, and the disaster that has hit nations in the past when they walked away from Truth in open rebellion.  This is in history.  The decline is moral, social, and even economical!  The grace of God has nurtured these nations due to the prayers of remnant Christians which has protected them from further disaster.

Family:  Many a time, a man or a woman suddenly came and told his or her partner they were gay out of the blue.  This has shattered the family.  At times, the partner wanting to be brave took it in their stride and did not kick up a fuss and the children fell in line, but they were suffering and bleeding inside, children have even committed suicide due to the trauma it has played in their minds.  The homosexual seed is passed through generations.  Family lines have homosexuality passed on through generations as the offenders carry it through each generation.  There are homosexual demons living within a family line that are passed from generation to the other.  There is an incident of a father who found out he was homosexual, and later found out his daughter too was gay.  It made him wonder whether it was genetics.  It was not; it was the family demon acting up, because in time, this man got delivered and got straight and in fact, started a ministry to help other homosexuals.

One may ask about the veracity of the claim about homosexual demons.  The truth is that homosexuality is only helped through deliverance and prayers, nothing else.  No hours of counseling or medicine can help, and the struggles they face are very strong, it is not easy to get out because this is so entrenched in the soul that it needs a supernatural deliverance.

There is another man who got delivered from being homosexual and now helps others out of it.  His name is Tye Gamey and he lives in Canada.  Likewise, there are many, many others.

Children:  The hard truth is many, many young boys were abused by men or likewise young girls by older woman.  This destroyed the sexuality of those young boys and girls.  When molested at younger ages, they had their sexuality charred and ruined and when they came into adulthood, felt their DNA was naturally gay.  The truth is they were made gay.  Thus the root of child abuse has its fruit in homosexuality.

Self:  There is a lot of mental disturbance and inner struggles in a gay's life.  Study the reports.  They are not in harmony with the natural so in disharmony, there is always in an inner pain struggle.   Also, the rise in deaths from AIDs has arisen from the gay rise, though today, we have better medicine to help them.

3.  Children Suffer From Same-Sex Marriage:  With the new law allowing same-sex marriages, allowing them to adopt children is on the way, and already started.  Today, it is learned that healthy family structure is for children to be raised by both a mother and father and not a father-father or a mother-mother.  Children may receive love from same-sex marriages, but despite the love, confusion and chaos arise in a child's world due to the unnaturalness of same-sex marriages.  Definitely, children pay heavily for this unnatural union. 

After many, many years of research, the ideal family structure for children is a two-parent, mother-father family where children raised in such normal families do much better mentally, psychologically, and physically than children brought up in other family structures.

Mothers and fathers are not interchangeable and while two women can be good mothers, neither one can be a good father, the same goes vice versa.

When children are in a family structure with both sexes early in life, they can relate and adapt well to both sexes later in life.

It will always deny a child either a father or mother in their lives.  A child brought up by a same-sex couple will always be brought up by someone with no blood relation to the child.  The child is without personal choice.  The child will necessarily be raised by one party who has no blood relationship with him. He or she will always be deprived of either a mother or a father role model.

4.  Something Morally Wrong Is Turned into A Civil Right:  While there are many civic and equality rights over the ages fought for, like right to equality against the caste system and many other rights pertaining to the human race, gay rights do not fall in line because these relate to gender and sexuality. In the garb of tolerance and acceptability, a government starts to enforce a legal right which is morally wrong and harmful. 

If homosexual “marriage” is universally accepted as the present step in gender freedom, tomorrow, new rights will rise up, like incest, (sex within family blood relations) bestiality (sex with animals), pedophilia (sex of adult with child), and other forms of unnatural behavior.  Today, we see these aberrations in the world as never before and tomorrow, these can be legalized as part of one's right to freedom, constitutional right or personal choice!  How crazy is the world becoming!

What the Bible Says:
Romans 1:26-27 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

Leviticus 18:22 "'Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

1 Corinthians 6:9. Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men.

Hebrews 10:26, 27:  If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27: but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.

God Delivers and Restores
If we really love God, we will honor His Written Word and strive to obey God.  If we are weak and cannot obey and are falling into this sin, we can cry to God, and He hears our cry.  We just need to recognize it is sin, and wrong or a demonic stronghold in our lives, and God will rise up in our defense as we walk to walk in His Highway where no unclean thing can walk.

Certain "Secrets" That Help:
1.  Since it can be a demonic entrenchment in the soul, the deliverance ministry has been very effective in setting homosexuals free.  There are testimonies of hundreds of people set free from homosexuality in deliverance ministries, but again, these people need a lot of help even after the deliverance.  They need to read the Bible aloud.  The spoken Word has supernatural power.  The demons residing or hanging around a delivered soul needs to hear the Word and flee!  The demons cannot bear the spoken Word.  Also, as the ex-homosexual speaks verses from the Bible loudly, those words seep into the subconscious mind and flow into the soul like healing balm and the healing is more powerful and rich, just through the spoken Word of God.

2.  Another secret that helps is listening to the Spoken Word by anointed men and women of God who have a very powerful clean walk with God.  The very anointing breaks the yolk and sets people free.

3.  Go to a church which has a deliverance help ministry, which will be open to help a homosexual and walk them through, have people to pray with them when they need, and also people they can meet up with to share and walk and talk them through their struggles, like a group of people who have similar pasts.  This can be very, very powerful in setting ex-homosexuals free from any new entrapment that seeks to devour them.

4.  An ex-homosexual needs to learn warrior prayers to pray for him or herself.  This means applying the covering with the Blood of Jesus Christ every single day, binding any demons hovering around, casting out powers of darkness into wherever, usually the wilderness and binding them so that they cannot return.  If they do this daily, they will experience mighty miracles beyond their understanding.

Usually after a homosexual gets deliverance and after a couple of glorious victory years, they slip back into limbo land, not praying much, and of course, no warrior praying at all, hardly read the Word of God, so loud Bible reading is not even considered, and never draw near to get help, so it is not surprising if they get Hit by the Return.  It has happened.  Remember I Peter 5:8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Once we personally can recognize this as sin, we are on the roadway for help and deliverance!

The Birth of a New Day - Poem




As the sun rises faithfully to birth a new day
Let's leave the past memories that hold us behind
Trusting God for new blessings to shine
Let the freshness of this day bring healing to our souls
Let the sparkling silver new rain wash and make whole
Let's leave behind rash words and hastiness

Let peace and love build and bring great oneness
With blessing to shine on this new day

A Light Turned On - Talila Imti Ozukum



Every believer has a story to tell, in theological terms, testimony. I do not have a super exciting, thrilling or a wonderfully beautiful testimony. Well, I wasn't a drug abuser, wasn't an alcoholic, wasn't a slut, and wasn't brought back to life from death!  Mine is simple yet beautiful and extraordinary in its own way.

To start with, I was born in a good Christian family so it's no wonder I grew up hearing about Jesus and all the Bible stories in Sunday school.  Those were wonderful days where I loved the games, the stories and of course the toffees and candies our Sunday school teacher distributed every Sunday before calling it a day.

As a youth, I loved attending youth services on Sundays.  I loved the praise and worship, the activities and the specials services like coffee night, musical night and so on and so forth. It wouldn't be a lie if I say I am an active member for I take part in almost every church activity.

I had a certain prejudice that I fit into the "good Christian girl" category. I pray, I read the Bible, I go to church, I take part in church's activities, so of course, does it not makes me a good Christian lady?  I was altogether that good Christian girl!

I lived in this fallacy or so to say "self- righteousness" vanity until one day, a team of young people from America visited our college. Among them was a tall, pale and handsome young man who shared his testimony.  As he shared it, I was in awe. How can it be that this man from America has the same story to share? It was my story!

He narrated how he was born in a good Christian family, to a pastor's home to be precise. Like me, he grew up attending church's services, took active parts in all church events and of how he was also disillusioned of being a good Christian boy. One day out of the blue, his father deserted the family to be with another woman.  It was a real hard hit to the family and especially to him because all his life he has looked up at his father as a spiritual mentor, as an inspiration, had so much love and respect for him and now everything was upside down. He had no idea what else to do but to cry uncontrollably in the basement of the house questioning God why this happened to him for the good boy he was.  His faith was shaken to the foundations, wondering whether he should continue going to church and continue his faith in God. In that deep despair and anguish, he suddenly heard a voice calling his name.  He opened his eyes, stopped crying and looked around to see who it was, but only to find himself all alone in the confined walls of the basement. " Brian" (name changed) , he heard the same voice again, this time the voice asked him  'Are those precious tears for me or for your earthly father who left you? Who is your God, your earthly father or me?" Brian* was amazed at the voice personally addressing his pain, and was in wonder of what a powerful and personal God He was.  Brian then realized his folly in disbelieving God and with a new warmth encompassing his soul, he prayed for forgiveness. Suddenly, in his more than twenty years of Christian journey, he for the first time completely surrendered himself to Jesus there in the basement.  Something new and wonderful happened to Brian* that day, he got new life, new hope and new joy.

After Brian* shared his testimony, he then walked, walking toward the row where I was sitting and said, and at that moment, I felt as if he was asking me directly, "If you feel my story is your story, if you feel I am a messenger of God in disguise, I want to ask one simple question to you, are you going to church for yourself, for people or for God? Have you really given your life to Christ who died for you? Who are you truly worshiping? Who is your God?"

At that moment, a light turned on!  For the first time I questioned myself if my life was really centered around Jesus as I claim it to be or is self centered.  I had decided not to get emotional and not to cry at the beginning of the service, but there I was crying and praying to God in true repentance and realization!  I realized how wrong I was to think that I love God,that I was a good Christian when in truth I was a selfish girl living for myself and not for God. When the light turned on and I saw the Truth, I become a different girl, new, free and I started to change deep within.

I just want to conclude with a simple thought and a question we all need to ask ourselves.  If you have the habit of reading the Bible, praying, are a regular church goer, you feel you are a good human leading a good life- well done and good. Keep it up!  But there is a greater truth.  We know that these things are not enough, but the bare essentials to keep us going.  We need air, water and food to survive but, we were not merely born to breath, eat and drink and then die.  Life is more than this.  As Christians, we need to read the Bible, go to church, pray, be a good human leading a good life doing with no wrongs, all that is true, but Christianity is more than this.

Christianity is not a religion but is about a relationship with God.  It is about giving one's life to Christ, living for Him and not for ones self or for anybody else.   We can only do this when we realize we need a Savior, repent of our sins, and in this awakening, we get a new life, and will be born again, i.e., the Spirit of God indwells us, to help us in our walk in the world.  The scriptures say our goodness isn't enough to get us to Heaven, because even as a drop of dirt in a glass of pure water pollutes the water, so is it likewise with sin, all our goodness can be blocked by one bad act, and who on earth can be really good, really perfect..? no, not one!

We might be thinking that we are a good Christian and might be feeling proud that people take our examples to teach others, perhaps even Bible teachers or Sunday school teachers, but look deep within, self introspect; the truth could be ugly. You might be a modern Jesus' time Hypocrite.  Jesus said in Mathew 15: 8-9 "These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far away from me. And in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men." Matthew 7: 22- 23 reads, " Many will say to me on that, Lord , Lord have I not prophesied in your name, cast out demons in your name, and done many wonders in your name? And then I will say declare to them ' I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness!' 

In this new life, we have the Light of the World, Jesus with us, who transforms our lives and changes us from being hypocrites to become the light and salt of the earth.

Only God is the true  converter of a human soul.  No human can convert anyone.  It is God's Spirit to a human's spirit that converts.
