GOD’S WORD SAYS:

No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 NASB

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as {we are, yet} without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:14-16 NASB

God’s Word is true, brother. He has a way of escape for you. We suggest you not fight this giant alone. Look into the resources available to you at www.exodusinternational.org as well. You will also find encouragement by reading the books “This is My Destiny”,  “Giant Killer” and “Victim to Victor” by Dennis Jernigan. Another wonderful resource is the book “God’s Grace and the Homosexual Next Door” by Alan Chambers. You ask many questions that require in-depth answers that are best served by sharing this burden with a real person (or persons) who can help you walk through the defeat of this giant. John 8:32 tells us that we will know the truth and the truth will set us free. We do not get to the truth until we get honest. You have taken this step with us…but now you will need to share your burden with someone who can help you right where you are. Exodus International can help you find counseling near you in many cases. There is also phone counseling available to you. Do not allow the enemy to keep you from getting the help you need. Please let us know what the Lord leads you to do.
