Helping an Ex-lesbian

Randy Alcorn and Jonathan Edwards
God, thank you for the wonderful privilege today. To be blessed to help another sister who has left her lesbian lifestyle, at her request, to help her select and buy female style clothing for herself. Not because she was pressured or made to feel a certain kind of way, but because she was ready to take this step. My heart was moved with joy and tears for being asked to be a part of this process and for her.

ASSUMPTIONS

In our quest to live Christ-like, we need to exhibit the same attributes as Christ when viewing others. Isaiah 11:3 says, “He will delight in obeying the LORD. He will not judge by appearance nor make a decision based on hearsay (NLT).” ASSUMPTIONS is a monthly column that shares real life situations where people make assumptions about others based on appearance, hearsay or wrongful perspective. The goal of this column is to get people to rethink their thinking process of others and see the affect their assumptions can have on peoples’ Spirit.

COINCIDENCE? I say not!

COINCIDENCE?

The day my publisher in Florida was preparing my book, Surrendering: A Blueprint of My Life to be shipped to me and released to the public, they experienced a severe lighting storm.

The day my books were mailed to me for two days before they arrived, there were very bad lighting and rainstorms that took place throughout North Carolina and especially around my home.


The day that I received word that my book was brought before the attention of a North Carolina lawyer and its content was causing strife in at least one lesbian home, God put it in my Spirit to report it to other Christians and have them raise their voices in prayer. This took place yesterday – almost all day. The same day and today, North Carolina and South Carolina are both being affected by a major flood.

And today, the Holy Spirit had me throughout most of the church service to speak in tongues because I learned later; He wanted and needed to move in a powerful way. I say coincidence not.

WE MUST PRAYER. WE MUST PRAYER. GOD IS CALLING CHRISTIANS EVERYWHERE TO SPEAK IN YOUR PURE LANGUAGE AND PRAY. Matthew 18:20, we must collectively gather our voices together and collectively pray.

A LGBT Member Report My Book To A North Carolina Lawyer

And so the persecution begins. I was just notified that my book, Surrendering: A Blueprint of My Life, was given to a North Carolina lawyer by a member in the LGBT community. Evidently, my book is causing strife in the relationship of one lesbian couple. An informal complaint has been filed, but I am rejoicing. For it is God who has come and using me to set this matter straight (Ecclesiastes 7:13). So please pray that God opens up the heavens and the floodgates to heal those in the LGBT community worldwide that are in need of healing. And that He protects me through this process and keep me safe until His will is finished concerning this matter.

Can No Longer Sit Idly


At Times I Became Upset With My Mother Because Of My Same-Sex Attraction

I have to admit. I found myself struggling emotionally as I listened to some of the stories of these mothers who have children in the LGBT community. I am taken aback by how many mothers confessed, they noticed at an early age, their son or daughter exhibiting behaviors that were not considered socially normal.

Let me explain what I mean. As an adult, when I internalized my same-sex attraction – I tried to
understand why I felt the way I did? Why could I not shake it? What was wrong with me, etc.? There were times I became upset with my mother during these times and I did not understand why.

Okay, this is harder than I thought because I must reopen my Pandora’s box to expose Family Lies and Secrets to continue my forward progress of healing from my past and to help others to really benefit from my story. (Also, see chapter 5 in my book, Surrendering: A Blueprint of My Life).

The Memory: I was maybe 12 or 13 years old. My mother had taken us kids to visit with one of her girlfriends who had a son around the same age as my brother. At some point, all the kids went outside to play. I was in one of my moods, so I stayed behind and sat quietly in the back bedroom. While I was there, I overheard the conversation between my mother and her girlfriend. At some point, my mother’s friend asked, “Well, what will you do if she turns out gay?” A few seconds passed without anything being said. Then my mother said, “I don’t know. It’s her choice. But I would love her regardless.”

So, my mother was aware. She was an indirect eyewitness to a few incidents during my childhood that clearly indicated which way I was headed if no intervention took place. Yet, years later, my mother would utter the words that she did not know. I don’t know, maybe she forgot. Or, maybe she too repressed some of her memories. Either way, this matter was left unchecked and unaddressed during my childhood.

Looking back, from my perspective, my mother was aware of my same-sex attraction. But I don’t recall once during my childhood were my mother addressed my struggles with me. I never recall my mother helping me to sort out my inappropriate mindset or desire. So as an adult, when I internalized my same-sex attraction, I remembered many times getting angry with my mother. At the time, I did not know why.

Writings of Christian Lesbian Blog
My conversations with some mothers of gays and lesbians’ children helped me to recently understand my frustrations during those times. Deep inside of me, I wanted my mother to rescue me from myself - from my same-sex attraction that kept rearing its little head from time to time. At that time, I needed my mother’s loving support, guidance, direction and correction. I needed her to tell me that she understood my confusion and even my curiosity, but then show me why my desires were wrong.

At least, the silver lining in the stories of these mothers’ stories that I was privy to hear, they are talking with their adult gay and lesbian, sons and daughters about their attractions. They are showing and expressing them unconditional love. They are patiently waiting for windows of opportunities to help their adult children to sort through their life choices. I applaud these women because they are determined to save their adult children despite their children’s plight. They are expressing the same unconditional love as Christ has expressed for all mankind.

Romans 5:6, 8
6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (KJV). 

Yes, mothers need to love their children unconditionally, but it must be done with balance - balance that will help to liberate their children. I don’t know any child who don’t want or need to have the acceptance, love, guidance and direction from their parents. But, in the same token, a child needs constant and at times firm, correction. If only my mother would have corrected my mindset, my inappropriate desires at an early age, instead of just accepting it. I have to admit, there are times I wonder, would it have made the difference? I guess I will never know.
