dear confused, you have to remember that God is not a God of confusion. Go to His Word and let It minister to your spirit. Pray to Him to lead you in the right direction and He will. You have to speak His promises to yourself everyday.

Father I come in the Name of Jesus on behalf of my friend who is confused. Touch her heart now Lord in the Name of Jesus. Strengthen her spirit so that she can resist this demonic spirit of her flesh. Speak to her heart now with your Word Lord and let her know the right direction and strengthen her faith so that she can follow your instruction. In the Mighty Name of Jesus, I pray now that Your light will shine through her spirit and touch her friend and give her friend a desire to know You so that she will also be released from this spirit of being gay. I ask these and all things in the name of Your Son Jesus. Amen

[Mat.7:13,14]
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction , and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Jesus is always calling us into a closer walk with Him for He calls us His friends [John 15:14 -16]

Remember how Jesus was toward Judas. He denied Judas no righteous thing, neither did he allow Judas to deter Him from following His Father's will. Also refer to [Rom.12:20-21]

When temptation comes your way, and it surely will, remember that you are being refined as pure gold. Resist the devil and he will flee, wrote James [James 4:7]

Again it is written, Be ye not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness [2 Cor.6:14]. Also read [1 John 2:3-9]

With these things in mind it is good to run into the friendship of our Lord Jesus Christ in times of temptation. As it is written, The name of of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.[Pr.18:10]

Finally, many things have been written to you by many and this is good [Pr.11:14, 26:6] but it is Jesus who will bear witness of the truth to you.

Hello guest,

First of all, I know that the Word of God says that homosexuality is not something that God condones:

[Romans 1:26-28]
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural 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 indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

However, I am not condemning or judging anyone here. I just want to say what the Word of God says.

What do you do in this situation? Well, first of all, even if you are heterosexual and you go out with a married man and start having feelings for him and you don't think it is right, I would say "flee from temptation". Sometimes we think we are strong and can stand temptation. And if you find that being too close causes too much temptation, maybe you should avoid close interaction for a while until you have overcome your feelings. As long as you know that this is not the sort of relationship you want to have, avoid too close a contact. Sometimes that is the easiest and most practical solution. It is better to avoid the bait than to struggle in the snare. Ravi Zacharias has a message on this now and you can hear it over the internet:

http://www.gospelcom.net/rzim/

Temptation always start with our minds. It starts with a thought. What do you do when the thought comes?

[2 Corinthians 10:4-6]
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Cast down the thoughts before they become strongholds. The more you dwell on the thoughts and entertain them, the more difficult it is for you to stop yourself from sinning. Bind the thoughts in the name of Jesus and if you are really having problems, approach an elder in your church to pray with you.

Father in heaven,
I pray for this sister. I pray that you give her strength, courage and conviction.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

I pray that you really recieve Gods message.Ilike to believe that God loves all people,and that just as heterosexuals do not choose heterosexuality,neither do homosexuals chose homosexuality.Maybe this is the message.If being homosexual is not Gods intention than do not be concerned,but please accept your friend for who she is.Than it is you who also will be sticking by her thru thick and thin.I am not being smart,I am just providing another type of possible message to be recieved.Homosexuals are not hating people or sexual perverts.They love a person of the same sex.I do not want to think that my God looks down upon anything that is love.Iwish youand your friend peace and happiness.I do hope that God sustains what seems like a beautiful friendship for the both of you.

Lord, I pray that you would strengthen this dear person to stand against the temptations that she is facing. Your Word says that we are not tempted beyond what we can endure. So Lord I pray that you would "deliver her from temptation." This lady wants to honour you with her life, so I thank you for her honesty and plead the blood of the lamb over her life and claim the victory for her in this area. I praise you Jesus and thank you for her and give you the glory. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen
