TOPIC: Attitude to Homosexuality

MEMORISE: Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Galatians 6:1

READ: James 5:15-20
15. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

1. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

2. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.

3. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

4. Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;

5. Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

Open Heaven for Teens 3 February 2022 MESSAGE:

The Bible makes it very clear that homosexuality T is a sin, however, our battle as believers is not with the LGBTQ+ community, it is against sin and the devil who is the enemy of our soul. This is because the physical controls the spiritual; those who belong to that community and the desire to belong are controlled by the devil.

The Bible says the weapons of our warfare are not carnal (2 Cor 10:4 ). Thus, rather than hate the community, you should hate their acts and the devil. Therefore, just as the devil is intentional about using all forms of sexual sin to take many young people to hell, as Gods ambassador, ensure that no soul around you is released to the devil.

Instead of condemning or gossiping about those who have openly or secretly confessed to struggling with homosexuality or any form of sexual addiction, lead them to Christ in love. Today, we have rehabilitation homes for prostitutes and drug addicts so that we can win their souls for Gods kingdom.

You may not be able to do that now but don’t feel unconcerned in your little corner, reach out in love to the LGBTQ+ community members, pray for them and win them to Christ.

ACTION POINT: In the next 30 minutes, intercede for every Christian teenager struggling with any form of sexual sin.

Most Holy one;
Oh, make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son!
