Born Gay or Not? | Part 4: NEWNESS OF LIFE!
My journey out of sexual brokenness and predatorial appetites began that week of October 31, 1994. Sins that once occupied my heart no longer did. Finally, I was justified by faith and had found peace with God . Hallelujah! The old passed away, and I was reborn into a new Life. It’s the great exchange— my sin-dead-life for Jesus’ righteous Life. By grace through faith I:
-
EMBRACED Jesus as my crucified and risen Lord, my forgiving Lamb, and my saving Life… always learning, always growing to—
-
EXPERIENCE Him as my rescuing Liberator, my all-wise Leader, and my Light-Source of Grace & Truth … so that I might—
-
ENJOY Him as the Perfect Lover of my Soul, now & forever! AMEN.
Holy Spirit gave me a NewHeart with new and right desires. A new spirit—God’s Life living in me. And that salvation journey has led me to learning how to overcome sin’s hunts, haunts, and habits—i.e., the lying, the stealing, and ...oh.. what to do with all those gay thougths, chooses, and feelings—the enemy had smothered me for so long. I was free at last! Hallelujah!
