You were not born gay…

Lev 20: 13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them

Isn’t it good to know that God loves people in a homosexual lifestyle enough that instead of their own blood being upon them, the blood of Jesus still cries mercy, if they would receive it, and leave their lifestyle.

Though I don’t understand much about the gay lifestyle, having never lived in it, I am trying to understand. Reading a great book right now by Michael Brown: Can You Be Gay And Christian?

Every human being receives not only the physical DNA of our parents, but a spiritual DNA that the Bible calls sin. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, none of us are exempt.

Listen to this verse:

Mark 2:17

When Jesus heard this, he told them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”

Guess, to qualify for the kingdom of heaven, you need to know you are a sinner, that needs forgiveness.

Listen to this story Jesus told:

Luke 18:

Parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector

⁹Then Jesus told this story to some who had great confidence in their own righteousness and scorned everyone else: ¹⁰“Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a despised tax collector. ¹¹The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer^[b]: ‘I thank you, God, that I am not like other people—cheaters, sinners, adulterers. I’m certainly not like that tax collector! ¹²I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’

¹³“But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, ‘O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.’ ¹⁴I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

As I walk with Jesus, I more and more need mercy, as I see my selfishness, pride, stubbornness, and fallen nature. Only in Him can I be made whole:

Let’s Pray:
Father, for those trapped in homosexual lifestyles and relationships, forgive them, deliver them, reveal to them, that no matter what satan or people have said to them, that you did not create them gay, but as sons and daughters, destined for glory, honor, and holiness: eternal life in you Lord Jesus, Amen.

Seven Things I Pray President Obama Do Before he leaves office

If I were to suggest President Obama do 7 things before he leave office, this would be my list:

Repent. While He holds the office of the President of the United States, there is a higher office than this, to which he will give an account. Jesus is Lord of Heaven and earth, and each of us, will one day appear before Him, and give an account of how we lived our life.Some time ago, I mentioned that we used to bring some people from a government housing project to a monthly Christian businessman’s fellowship that met in the top of a nice condominium building, in the penthouse suite. It was the highest and nicest place in the building.My definition of repent then, is to return to the high place, the place of privilege and honor. https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/2015/04/24/whatever-happened-to-sin/

The Bible says that Jesus

⁶raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus

Ephesians 2:6 (NKJV)

Our position in Christ is one of royal privilege before the throne of God, the judge of all the universe. Though Jesus shed blood, we have been given access to mercy and the throne, where the Holy One who inhabits eternity lives. His Word is His will, and where we have sinned and failed to perform His Word, we can ask for, and receive mercy from Him, in this life.

The first thing I would do, today, is ask for God’s forgiveness for every unholy act and decision he has committed, then for strength, to admit his wrongs, and to boldly act and to correct what the Scripture clearly says is wrong.

Some of this needs to be done privately before God, but decisions made publically, need to be repented of publically.

I think of Pilate, that had Jesus crucified, though he knew He was innocent. Jesus told him that Pilate only had authority because it was given to him by God in heaven.

Yet, one day, Pilate died, and in that moment, appeared before the risen Christ. Now he was on trial, for his eternal judgement. In that moment, all that Jesus could do, is sentence him to hell like Judas, for he did not find mercy…

What is the difference between Saul, Judas, Pilate AND David or Peter.

All sinned against God.

The only difference is, David and Peter recognized their sins were against God Himself, and they did business with Him and cried out to God for mercy, and despite the horrible consequences that came to David and his family because of his sin, was declared before God to be a man after his own heart.

Acts 13: (NKJV)

²²And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David^[a] the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will

David was a liar, committed genocide, treason, stole holy things, committed adultery, murder, and had multiple wives.

Yet God forgave him it all and at the end of his life, he was considered a man after God’s own heart.

Before President Obama was re-elected, I asked the Lord why?

According to the word of God, abortion is wrong. Homosexuality is wrong. Islam is wrong, yet the Scripture states that rulers are set in place by God Himself according to Romans 13:1-5.

I believe I heard the voice of God speak to me that Proverbs 21:1

The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, Like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes

That though God did not agree with these things, that “He was going to turn the heart of President Obama, and that he would do great good for the kingdom of God, and the United States before he left office.”

I am still praying that for President Obama. That he would sell out for Jesus, whole heartedly, renounce Islam, abortion, homosexuality, and would publically stand boldly for Jesus, God’s kingdom, and would call this nation back to God.

2. That He would publically proclaim the gospel and stand fully for Jesus and the Bible. https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/2014/11/10/the-gospel-the-power-of-god/

https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/2013/12/01/prayer-for-secret-societies/
3That he would call a meeting of first nations peoples, and publically read the apology he signed in 2009 by the US government to natives for historical atrocities committed there. https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/2014/07/07/us-government-apology-to-natives/

https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/2014/07/03/the-first-nations-mandate/

4.That he would publically oppose institutionalized racism, and would implement a task force to both identify and eliminate it.

https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/2014/01/25/using-racial-privilege-to-promote-the-kingdom-of-god/

5.That he would denounce abortion completely, and make it a criminal offence. That he would help educate and provide adoption services to un-wed mom’s. https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/2015/08/05/gods-opinion-of-abortion/

6.That he would call homosexuality what it is, sin. According to God, all sex outside of the bounds of marriage between and man and a woman is also sin. Just because two people have strong feelings for one another, and the sexual plumbing is working fine, does not make sex legitimate in the sight of a holy God. Passion and lust never satisfy the deeper needs of the human heart, Jesus promises that His living waters will. Just ask the woman at the well. Married tour times, living with her fifth man, yet not satisfied. John 4.

7. That He call a time of 3 days of fasting and public humiliation and prayer, for God to come and meet with us, that He might forgive us individually and as a nation, and heal our land. https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/2013/09/22/heal-our-land/

President Lincoln did a one day fast to stop the cival war:http://www.historyplace.com/lincoln/proc-3.htm

These are my 7 things I believe would glorify God, and bring deep healing and cleansing to the United States of America.

What do you think?

So you have a better idea than serving God?

As I was reading this mornings Bible reading, these verses stood out to me, in light of the recent US Supreme Court decision ‘legalizing’ same-sex marriage.

So you have a better idea, than to serve the Creator of Heaven and earth?

Romans 1:21 Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. 22 Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. 23 And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and rept…iles.

24 So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. 25 They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen. 26 That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. 27 And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.

28 Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done

Even if you have taken 1000 steps away from God, it’s only one step back. Here’s how:

Opposing Same-Sex Marriage

I believe Jesus loves all people. That He died for sinners, and that all of us have sinned. I also believe He calls us to repent, that is leave our life of sin, and pursue a life of honesty, honor, and holiness. That marriage is designed by God to be a covenant between a husband and a wife, God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.

Homosexuality then, is a sin for which Jesus died, and is willing to forgive, but is clearly a moral choice, between two consenting adults, that the Bible expressly forbids.

I do practicing homosexuals no service, and show no love towards them, if I do not tell them the truth: that what they are doing is wrong, and that while God fully understands their lifestyle, He will never condone it.

Here in Tulsa, the city council is trying to pass legislation recognizing a housing exemption for couples in same-sex relationships.

This is both morally and Biblically wrong, and I am encouraging Christians everywhere to stand with me in prayer against this legislation, and to sign this petition to our mayor.

If you are in an immoral relationship, and want to receive the love and grace of God to change, here is an article I wrote sharing the gospel.

It has been said, that if you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.

Please stand for Jesus and truth in this, in prayer.
