Son Struggles With SSA

CONFESSION
I'm a mother reeling with fear and pain. Two months ago our 21 year old son
told us that he is attracted to the same sex.  He is a Christian that has lived a
truly Christ filled life through high school. However he confessed that the
past year he has given into these feelings. He's believing the lie that this
just must be the way it is. That we possibly are interpreting the Bible
incorrectly.  I'm dealing with major GIANTS of FEAR and despair 24/7 trying to
do the right thing and leave this with my Lord…but so afraid. Thank for your
ministry, I worship & cling to Christ w. your verses...Thank you for pointing
this Sister to Him.

GOD’S WORD SAYS
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. 1 John 4:18 NASB

DENNIS’S SUGGESTION
Rest in God’s love and daily turn this burden over to Him…and ask Him to allow you to see your circumstances from His perspective. I would encourage you to go to my web site, www.dennisjernigan.com, and search the 'Need Help?' section. You will find many resources there. You will also want to look at the many resources available at www.exodus-international.org.

Is There Hope?

CONFESSION
I am a deeply committed Christian, but cannot overcome same sex attraction. I am happily married and totally fulfilled in my heterosexual relationship...but why do I continue to feel this attraction every time I see a handsome guy or the
male physique? I hate it.  Is there EVER deliverance for this...I've tried
everything!

GOD’S WORD SAYS
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor {the} covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 NASB

DENNIS’S SUGGESTION
Deliverance is possible. I have had to renew my mind on a daily basis and reprogram my thoughts with what God calls good. I would suggest you get help through a Christian counselor and would encourage you to go to my web site, www.dennisjernigan.com, and search the 'Need Help?' section. You will find many resources there. You will also want to look at the many resources available at www.exodus-international.org.

Same-Sex Attraction

CONFESSION: Same-Sex Attraction

Same Sex Attraction

Confession: Same Sex Attraction
When I was small, my Father Expired and I didn't got the love of my father,
During my childhood one of my cousin brother abused me and because of that I started becoming a Homosexual person, after that I met so many homosexual guys and had sex with them, I thought that it was ok God has made me like this and it may be his will, that I should be a Homosexual person, and I never thought it is a sin, because in U.S.A so many Gay couples are getting married.One day as I prayed Divine Mercy prayer and read a part of bible, it was first friday of the month , that day  when I was sleeping, jesus came into my vision and he was sleeping beside me and was hanged on the cross and was bleeding, but I didn't know why jesus came in that condition in my dream. One day I went to praise and worship in Tabor Ashram and the priest was preaching there, and he told the story of a boy who used to do Immoral sexual Act, and this boy say jesus in the same way as I saw in my dream, so I came to know that whatever I was doing(Homosexual Act) is not normal , but its a sin in front of God, so I tried to get rid of it but it is very hard to get rid of it, so I took the help of some of the brothers whom I got introduced in the site, from this site I came to know about this site, Hope this site will Help me in my Journey to come out of the Homosexual habit and turn towards my Jesus.

Concern for Homosexual Son

Confession:                                                                                                                         My husband and I have followed your ministry for over 10 yrs now and have always loved and been very much ministered to my your music.  We also have a small non-profit ministry and minister in China with the underground church and are very involved with the international students at our local university.  Our 19 yr old son recently came to us and told us he is involved in a homosexual
relationship.  We are devastated and need prayers for him and our family.  He is
not repentant at all and believes that this is really "him", and he has been
living a lie until now.  He used to be really involved in the youth leadership
of our church until about a yr or so ago, when I believe all this was really
starting.  Please pray for him to desire freedom and be set free.  Sooner would
be nice.  I am a heartbroken mom.  Thank you for your ministry and love for
others.






Pornography

Confession: Pornography                                                                                                                       I keep having this recurring problem with sexual impurity (mainly pornography). I fall in and out of it, but cannot seem to kick the bucket for good. I read my bible, but not consistently, and I know this is a problem. But the more I try to read and get away from this garbage in my life, the more I am led right back to it. Another problem is that every week I lead others in worship, yet in my own heart I know that I am not fit to do so because of my sin. I know I need some guidance, but it seems hard to find, and I always lose focus while looking for it. Pray for my please . . .

Lesbianism

Lesbianism
i struggle with lesbianism, masturbation.  i have struggled most of my life that
i know of.  i also am dealing with ritual abuse issues and sexual abuse, and
incest ( from a female abuser)


Sexual Impurity

I have been struggling for quite sometime with sexual impurity (thoughts, pornagraphy, masterbation). I am taking some steps to overcome it. Filter, Bible reading and such. I need prayer and the Lord to reign as king over me and my struggle.

Dear Struggler:
You are right in pursuing freedom from this impurity. We should purpose not to walk in sin. Yes it is a fight BUT it is one that is winnable! Every one of us must wrestle with our own particular sin-patterns AND the Lord promises freedom as we pursue Him and His Presence. I think that the real key to sexual sin is to get to the root of the problem, call it what it is, and get accountable. YOU MUST be willing to do WHATEVER it takes to get truly free. You know as well as I do that this area can be so easily hidden – or so we think. The Lord sees it all! Every time you fall “in secret” HE is there! He loves you YET He wants more for you than this. And really, He DIED for you to walk free! There are so many Biblical truths that speak to this subject, but briefly let me relay a few. FIRST: the Word does not say “to flee” very much. Often we are directed to “stand firm”, etc. But in Corinthians Paul says to FLEE IMMORALITY! RUN!! ACTIVELY AVOID!!! That is YOUR first step! A habit of AVOIDING places, times of temptation. SECOND: We reap what we sow. God’s Word says that if we sow to the FLESH we will reap corruption BUT if we sow to the Spirit we will reap the essence of Eternal Life NOW! You may have some “seeds” of lust and sin that are still sprouting and growing. You cannot change the past BUT you can start sowing rightly now. Finally, if you are serious about wanting to be free, your Father will lead you out. “He will beautify the HUMBLE with salvation(deliverance)!!!”

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it].
1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV

Homosexuality

well, I'm brazilian and I'm in a great prison of sin. i don't know how can I get out of it and because of it I'm desperate!  I just wanna that our Lord take out my sins, my shame, the homossexualism, and all the bad thing that it bring to my life.

I growed up into a baptist church, I know that God loves me, and I know about His grace. But I am not powerful to get that sins away, and start a new life. I read about Dennis powerful testimonial of how can the love of our God restaure a life.

I know that God want's me for his kingdon, and I wanna to be there, I WANNA WORK TO BRING NEW PEOPLE TO JESUS!

God bless me and restaure my life!

Dear Prisoner:
First let me say this – you want to bring people to Jesus? What will you say if they ask you what He’s done for you? The Gospel – the GOOD news – isn’t the notion that “God loves me” and my life’s the same!! NO! The GOOD NEEWS is that Almighty God, through His Son, has made a way for us to be RENEWED!! Made a NEW creature!! You are right that you are not powerful enough to “get your sins away” – only the Blood of the Holy Lamb of God is able to do that! You need to cease from your efforts at righteousness and receive His!! The testimony of Dennis Jernigan is simply that God is God, He loves us all and is powerful enough to deliver from ANY and ALL sin! BUT it costs!!! It cost the Lord Jesus His life!! It has cost Dennis Jernigan his life, his reputation, any earthly aspirations, dreams, etc. God’s oil and water only FREELY flow through broken vessels!! Pray that your Father would grant you the “blessing of brokenness” and thereafter, freedom!

Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV

Homosexuality/Sexual Abuse Victim

Hi, My name is Tom and I am born and brought up in India , presently I am working in Saudi-Arabia,I want to share  my problems with you.

When I was small, My father got expired and I didn't got the love of my Father, since after that my mother started working and I was all alone , I was the youngest in my our Family, One day one of my cousin brother abused me, he used me for his sexual purpose and I too got attracted towards it,I started doing it with different persons to satisfy myself but in vain.

I have joined a group through internet through which I came to know about this site, please help me get out of this Bad habit.
with regards,
brother Tom

Tom:
First, you need to continue to realize that you are not alone in your wounds and struggle. Second, you MUST embrace the fact that ONLY Jesus can set you free – no man can do that. Third, you must REALLY want to be free! If you are saved, have given your life to Him, then His power is present deep within to enable you to make right choices. No one can choose for you – only YOU can choose for YOU. Finally, you need to continue to stay in His Word – the Bible – and walk with other Christians who are REALLY walking with Jesus. You will know them by their fruits, that is, how they live. Without Jesus you have no hope! If you give your life to Him you have Eternal hope! I pray you surrender to the Lord Jesus at the foot of His cross and let His power set you free!

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
1 Peter 5:6-7 NASB
