THE LIES OF LUST
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him should not
perish but have everlasting life.
1 John 4:8
He who does not love does not
know God, for God is love.
God loves everyone,
including
homosexuals…in the
closet or open.
WHERE AND WHEN DOES
IT START?
Physiology:
Your body was created at birth to
respond any touch: A finger, no
matter who’s hand it is attached to
(even your own), a tongue, no
matter if it is the tongue of a person
or dog, etc…
Sexual Molestation:
Child gets molested but is confused as to
why their body is responding to the fact
that it feels good, especially when it’s
same sex. Because most were too young
to know the biology of the human body,
they will falsely associate sexual pleasure,
to the sex they first experienced the
pleasure with.
Sexual Molestation: (continued)
If it was heterosexual - The female may
cringe the thought of a male body part
touching her because it triggers the
trauma. She now prefers and only feels
safe with encounters with a woman.
Childhood Curiosity:
This is one of the stages of childhood to
begin discovering their own genitals
(usually 3-5 yrs old). Boys especially learn
the soothing comfort of caressing their
genitals at night when they go to bed.
(Parents usually teach them to stop.)
Childhood Curiosity:
(continued)
They often get involved in curious play to
discover their genital areas (they play
doctor, house, act out things they have
seen on TV, etc). This can lead to touching
each others, which in turn causes the
natural response of pleasure due to touch.
Childhood Curiosity:
REMEMBER!
Most children don’t process that as guilt
or sexual confusion…
Childhood Curiosity:
*DANGER*: When a child is playing with
a child who has been sexually abused, the
play can be goal oriented. The goal is to
perform to the level that was performed
on them that brought about the good
feelings. NOW, People are defining these
kids as homosexual as early as in grade
school…
Images:
If you look at pornography and your body
responds to same sex acts, you can have
the same guilt, shame, and confusion
previously mentioned.
Genetic Makeup:
Sometimes a person has physical issues
(hormones/testosterone levels) that cause
them to feel like they are a man in a woman’s
body, or a woman in a man’s body. (I.e. Male
with wide hips or breasts, or a female with a
naturally excessive muscular build with a lack
of breasts or hips, etc.) Medical attention or
supernatural healing plus education is required.
Emotional Anatomy:
Because we are built for love and
relationships, if you have been constantly
rejected by the same sex because of your
physical appearance and someone from
the same sex comes along and accepts
you, hits on you, and wants you
desperately.. if your mind is not renewed,
you will have temptation simply because
of desiring to be loved.
Emotional Anatomy:
>> Others lusting after you can never fill a
void meant to be filled with love.
“Lust is always the counterfeit of love, and
will look to go everywhere that love was
originally meant to be.”
Where is the church??
When the church further rejects the
person in the name of God, they hate and
rebel against the God who both let that
happen to them, and who they are being
told hates them.
Definition of Homosexuality
Sexual desire, or behavior
directed toward a person of the same
sex.
*note – “Homosexuality” is not found in
the 1828 Webster’s dictionary
Genesis 1:2628
26 Then God said, “Let Us make
man in Our image, according to Our
likeness; let them have dominion
over the fish of the sea, over the
birds of the air, and over the cattle,
over all[a] the earth and over every
creeping thing that creeps on the
earth.”
Genesis 1:2628
27 So God created man in His own
image; in the image of God He created
him; male and female He created them.
28 Then God blessed them, and God said
to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the
earth and subdue it; have dominion over
the fish of the sea, over the birds of the
air, and over every living thing that
moves on the earth.”
God gave us ALL reproductive organs,
male and female.
It was intended for us to reproduce with
those organs
We are not ASEXUAL!
So what is considered natural
to God is heterosexuality.
What is the way
unbelievers view the
church when it comes to
this topic?
SAD SAD SAD!!! – This person is
sinning while talking about God and
referencing sin.
What is the sign
looked more like
this…
GOD

LIARS
GOD

THIEVES
GOD
HATES
IDOLATERS
1 John 4:8
How Does Society
View Homosexuality?
What’s the truth?
This homosexual push started in
your generation…
It went from questioning it,
to understanding it,
to accepting it…. “I kissed a girl,
and liked it”,
now to empowering it.
This message is not to condemn
homosexuals… it is to free them. But
not to free them TO sin, but to free
them FROM sin.
ROAMNS 6:22
But now having been set free from
sin, and having become slaves of
God, you have your fruit to holiness,
and the end, everlasting life.
Galatians 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty by
which Christ has made us free,[a]
and do not be entangled again with
a yoke of bondage.
How does God see sin?…
He does NOT see sin in categories,
like hurricanes (1-5).
Psalms 5:4
For You are not a God who takes
pleasure in wickedness,
Nor shall evil dwell with You.
Sin separates us from God.
Isaiah 59:2
But your iniquities have separated you
from your God;
And your sins have hidden His face from
you, So that He will not hear.
How should we see sin?
Romans 6:1-2,12
Well then, should we keep on sinning so
that God can show us more and more of
his wonderful grace? 2 Of course not!
Since we have died to sin, how can we
continue to live in it?
12 Don not let sin control the way you
live, do not give into sinful desires.
What does God say about
homosexuality?
In Leveticus 18:22, 20:13 – Calls
sexual behavior within same sex an
abomination – we can call it sin.
What does God say about
homosexuality?
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NLT)
9 Don’t
you realize that those who do
wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of
God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those
who indulge in sexual sin, or who
worship idols, or commit adultery, or
are male prostitutes, or practice
homosexuality,..
What does God say about
homosexuality?
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NLT)
10 or
are thieves, or greedy people, or
drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat
people—none of these will inherit the
Kingdom of God.
Romans 5:8 (NLT)
But God showed his great love for
us by sending Christ to die for us
while we were still sinners.
Romans 8:38-39
And I am convinced that nothing can ever
separate us from God’s love. Neither death
nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither
our fears for today nor our worries about
tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can
separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in
the sky above or in the earth below—indeed,
nothing in all creation will ever be able to
separate us from the love of God that is
revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
John 8:1-11 (NLT)
1 Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives,
2 but early the next morning he was back
again at the Temple. A crowd soon
gathered, and he sat down and taught
them.
John 8:1-11 (NLT)
3 As he was speaking, the teachers of
religious law and the Pharisees brought a
woman who had been caught in the act
of adultery. They put her in front of the
crowd.
4 “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this
woman was caught in the act of adultery.
John 8:1-11 (NLT)
5 The law of Moses says to stone her.
What do you say?”
6 They were trying to trap him into saying
something they could use against him,
but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the
dust with his finger.
John 8:1-11 (NLT)
7 They kept demanding an answer, so he
stood up again and said, “All right, but let
the one who has never sinned throw the
first stone!” 8 Then he stooped down again
and wrote in the dust.
9 When the accusers heard this, they
slipped away one by one, beginning with
the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the
middle of the crowd with the woman.
John 8:1-11 (NLT)
10 Then Jesus stood up again and said to
the woman, “Where are your accusers?
Didn’t even one of them condemn you?”
11 “No, Lord,” she said.
And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin
no more.”
Jesus refused to let his voice join
theirs. By telling her “go and sin no
more”, he
affirmed that sin
is not her deepest
identity. It’s not how he saw
her. It’s not who she was at the
core of the being.
What is Homosexuality?
IT’S LUST.
2 Timothy 2:22
Flee also youthful lusts; but
pursue righteousness, faith,
love, peace with those who call
on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Romans 1:24-26
24 Therefore God also gave them up to
uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to
dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25
who exchanged the truth of God for the lie,
and worshiped and served the creature rather
than the Creator, who is blessed forever.
Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile
passions. For even their women exchanged
the natural use for what is against nature.
How can some say, “I was born like
this”?...
We you were born into sin (the curse)
and you had a sinful nature, so that
might be true. But that’s not how
you were originally made.
You can get reborn, or “born again”
then get God’s new nature within you.
2 Cor. 5:21
For He made Him who knew no sin
to be sin for us, that we might
become the righteousness of God in
Him.
It’s that righteousness nature that puts you
in right standing with God
> God doesn’t see you guilty, he see you
clean
> He has for given you, period.
> He has forgiven you of what you have
done and even sins that you are going to
do…and when we repent, we receive that
forgiveness
When you start to truly get a revelation
of God’s nature in you (righteousness),
you want to do right because your
nature is to do right.
Just because God has given you
grace...it doesn’t make you want to sin
more… it makes you want to sin
less.
“How come I got saved, but I still feel
like I have these homosexual urges and
struggles.”
When you get saved you receive a new
nature, and the holy spirit power which gives
you the power to defeat temptation (Jesus in
Matt. 4)
But you have the flesh, carnal nature, that
still wants its way
Romans 7:18-20
18 And I know that nothing good lives in
me, that is, in my sinful nature.[a] I want
to do what is right, but I can’t. 19 I want
to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t
want to do what is wrong, but I do it
anyway. 20 But if I do what I don’t want
to do, I am not really the one doing
wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.
