Ooof so looking forward to this! As a girl, I sometimes struggle with same sex attraction. It’s something I’ve never openly talked about with brothers and sisters in Christ because saying it out loud feels so wrong like I’m afraid of being judged cause I’m Christian. I’ve only talked about it with God. He’s helped me to say no to temptations. I think churches / the Christian community shys away from this topic. Which is what the enemy wants.

[@graciepoo18]

I thought I was a lesbian from age 15-22 despite not having prior feelings for women, but then looking back and analyzing things from when I was younger and “connecting the dots” so I convinced myself. What really happened was I had crushes on boys, but wasn’t boy crazy like my friends, my crushes were innocent bc I wasn’t exposed to anything “more adult” until later, I got rejected a few times when I was younger and just started pushing my feelings for guys down. And, the first romantic feelings I received from someone else was a girl (ended up being my first gf, horrible toxic relationship). I hung out w boys (brothers, neighbors and my dad) so was a tomboy and grew up hearing that. Then right into college, I fell into a crowd with a bunch of LGBT people and it started becoming so normal and that even heterosexuality was abnormal. My dad died when I was 19 and that threw me for a loop, I had no idea who I was which caused me to lean into that identity even more and completely reject the part of me that liked men. I also was not religious and didn’t know Jesus. I moved away from those people two years ago, I deleted social media a bit after, started creating my own identity not based on the trends and society, and I got exposed to Christianity again by my mom. My heart started changing, I still struggled with homosexuality, but it slowly started lessening. I started wanting to dress more feminine and girly, which I rejected prior, and just letting myself be. About two months ago the stronghold of homosexuality was completely broken off me out of nowhere. I was contemplating getting back with my last ex girlfriend (she cheated on me) and really struggling with it, then one moment it all just stopped. I had relief, freedom, and peace because that identity stronghold was broken off of me after deeply struggling (feeling conviction) the last 4ish months. I still have thoughts sometimes because it’s so habitual to think them, but they are not my thoughts anymore. My identity is now in Jesus and that I am a Christian, not about my sexuality or anything else, He is first. Because I have love from Him and God, love from anyone else is just a bonus. I know this is long, but if anyone read this because they’re also struggling with it, JESUS LOVES YOU and He will change your heart, you just have to spend time with Him, read the Bible, focus on growing your faith and your identity in Him. I pray that anyone struggling with homosexuality is released from that in Jesus name. BIG LOVE❤️

Carew, God bless you. I had a similar childhood though I'm a woman. Had a scary childhood and was exposed to sinful things so so early. The devil really played on me. I fell in with lost people at school and thought i was like them. I was lost. But Jesus saved my life so miraculously when I was 15, and im 18 now. Im so so thankful and grateful. But the enemy keeps coming back to bring up my past, and convince me to believe bad things about myself. He has tried so hard to steal my identity and God has taught me what He has clearly taught you: the enemy is using identity to get to our generation. I love you Carew and praise God for this. We need to normalize talking about this in the church because its getting bad. God bless you.

I thought you supported the LGBT+ community. This video has obviously proved me wrong. There is something Freudian and disturbing about the message being projected onto impressionable audiences here. Whether you are of faith or not, you must realise that questioning sexuality is part of growing up, and for some people it leads them to who they really are. Not being heterosexual is not a bad thing. There is nothing wrong with being gay, bi, lesbian, queer, trans etc. Being something other than straight is not ‘biting the apple’; it is who you are, and that is ok.

The insane thing is growing up I was always called gay bc ig I was more zesty than other guys and that led to me being super insecure and eventually I bought into it and I fell into a gay pornography addiction at the age of 11 and I’ve never mentioned it to anyone but God so no one ik has a clue. I’m now turning 16 in like two weeks and I’m still in this addiction. I accepted Jesus into my life like a week before my 15th birthday and since then Jesus has fixed a lot of things in my life. I’m no longer depressed and don’t have suicidal thought anymore. He’s also helped me a lot with my terrible social anxiety and insecurities. I also don’t have panic attacks anymore. So I’ve definitely seen a lot of progress but I somehow still deal with doubt. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do next. Hope someone can pray for me and help me get through this. Thank you and may God bless you.

[@tyresedaijaun4098]

I've been through something very similar to you. God brought me out of it. I know he can do the same for you. Always depend on him. You cannot be delivered through your own strength. It's by his Spirit. Never feel as though there isn't hope, especially in those dark times when you feel as though you'll never make it out. Deliverance is His children's bread. You are not a victim of sin in Christ. You are an overcomer. I'd recommend you read and meditate on Romans 6. I'll be praying for you. Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

[@swampmonsta87]

Hey, I’ve been in this same predicament and I feel called to share this with you. When I was 8 I was exposed to gay corn* in the 3rd grade. I never saw naked women or anything until much later. But that one instance planted a seed of deceit for years. When I was first able to masturbate I watch gay corn. I began so addicted I watched every day and even still struggle to this day after being saved. My addiction was so bad I started watching very violent sub sections of gay corn* that while typing this terrifies me of thinking about it. A lot of this stimulated from early as a child in a multitude of reasons. 1. going to a school where it was predominantly white (no shade and I don’t see myself as a victim) and sometimes being one of the only kids of color in the class and being picked on for not being the stereotypical black guy (I went to an all boys school for context). I was never athletic or the athletic type, I was always creative and expressive with my personality and that didn’t mesh well with a lot of guys and I was never really included. I one time did get lucky in 6th grade and was the most popular kid in the class for the entire year because I became the class clown and went from being a straight A student / teacher pet to the most funniest but hated kid by teachers in the class. I was so drawn to being popular and finally liked after many years of not having friends or being invited that I didn’t care who i was or who i had to be to maintain it. When 6 grade ended it became coed in 7th grade and the bullying got worse. I was told by all the girls I was gay even though I never saw guys like that, but I also just wasn’t into girls like that / being hyper sexual with them. But eventually those words kicked in and in 7th grade I had lost “my virginity” to a guy in my class who also didn’t know if he was gay. We got caught by my mom and long story short she didn’t talk to me for a month and a half which hurt me a lost. 2. I never got approval from my father for who I was. I had a little brother that was 10x more athletic than me/naturally athletic and he got most of my father’s attention. So whenever a play or something creative came up it was second or he never showed interest in the things I cared for. Naturally I gravitated to my mother more and still never had that male bond I desperately wanted. 3. Losing my “virginity” so early and to a guy confused me. And to keep it as least graphic as possible - it hurt and still hurt every-time I did it with a guy. I thought it was supposed to hurt or I was supposed to be hurting and allow a guy to love me by hurting me like that in a twisted way because the only love I ever knew was pain. Pain from being bullied by other guys, pain from not being included with friends, and pain from not being loved by my own dad. Whenever my dad showed me attention it was when he punished me physically cuz I would lash out to get his attention. And so that’s where that hardcore side of gay corn and relations with guys stimulated from. I say all this because the enemy had used all my pain to warp my idea of soft gentle love into complex systems of lies and pain. Instead, I should’ve realized I was never meant to be apart of those groups of guys or constantly seek approval from my earthly father (who was and still is manipulative of my emotions). Instead, like it says in the Bible, Deuteronomy 14:2 - You have been set apart as holy to the LORD your God, and he has chosen you from all the nations of the earth to be his own special treasure. I’m slowly starting to see the way I live my life does not conform anywhere near the statues of the world. In the last 5 years I got saved again and learned about Jesus have being a Catholic for most of my life (no longer a Catholic). The Lord has brought me out of so many godless friendships, toxic relationships, and thoughts of homosexuality. He has softened my heart and shown me it’s okay to be vulnerable and be myself and to be content with standing apart. I still have temptations and urges but it mostly stimulates from fear. I’m 25 and never been with a girl romantically or sexually but I know I want to be with one romantically and have kids some day. This world teaches us about sex and pleasure before romance marriage and knowing a person for a reason. Sex and pleasure are cheap instant thrills that once fulfilled dissipate and leave us empty and wanting more. If I can give you advice man is to be patient, I’m only 10 years older than you but the Lord is still working on my patience. Also remember it’s okay to be who you are and have your personality on display. You are unique and made in the image of God for a reason. If people don’t accept that, move on and remember God will always provide you with the right community in due time. Read your Bible even if it doesn’t make sense at the time. When it become time for conviction if you mess up those seeds will be planted in your head and you will be able to fight the enemy with the truths of the word of God. You’ve got this and the Lord got you!

And it honestly shocked me as I got older to see how addictive and self harming it is in my everyday life. I've honestly felt like a prisoner to Satan because of this addiction but after finding God and inviting Him in into my life I've seen how much He is working in my life to deliver me from my addictions. He is so amazing and so gracious to us. And everything you talked about touched my heart in a very personal way so I thank you so much for speaking out about this. Thank you Lord for leading me to this video. I'm sorry if this was hard to talk about but I know God is so incredibly proud of you and so am I! Thank you!

I am a woman who loves a woman. I spent my entire life running from God because I wanted him to change me and when I didn’t change I felt like I was made to be condemned. I ran and ran and ran from God. But I came back to Jesus and my entire life changed. I was stuck in so much sin and addicted to so many things. And everything changed in my life except for me being gay and loving a woman. I love my wife so much, my sexuality is not my identity. I just love a woman. But he fixed me and saved me from so many things. One thing he saved me and changed in me was thinking that I was transgender. I thought I wanted to be a man but once I gave my life to Jesus I realized I love being a woman and all the things I get to do as a woman. My relationship with my wife healed. I thought I’d be convicted to leave and end things but the Lord turned my toxic relationship into a saved relationship under the Lord. Idk how to explain it. And I get so much negativity and hate from others for it.

@@sarahwalker2531Are you even a Christian? I do not agree with LGBTQ+, but the Bible has said that no sin is worse than another. You are being hateful as a Christian, does that mean that God doesn’t love you or that you cannot possibly be saved or loved by God? No, it does not. Yes, we should strive to be as sinless as possible, but no sin is unforgivable, except for the one sin that we, in theory, cannot even commit.

[@sarahwalker2531]

I am a Christian. Yes, all sin is equal and will be punished equally, but Christians should not be living in sin or desiring it. God is just and will not leave the sinner unpunished. We need to strive after Jesus. The Word says God vomits the lukewarm out of His mouth!!

[@iamsavage31]

Genuine question with no bad intention behind it: how can Love for another human being be wrong, no matter the gender? I’m actually “struggling” with this exact topic right now, or to say it better, I know about my attraction towards women (I am a woman) since I was a kid and I have come to terms with it. There are no negative thoughts behind that coming from me tho, like I’m not after s€x or intimacy in any way. Like there are genuine feelings behind that, I don’t care about the intimacy, I don’t have the desire to act on the human desire. But my feelings are simply not towards men, they never were, and I believe they never will be. So what I’m asking you Carew, how can genuine Love without any ulterior intentions or any sinful thoughts behind it, be wrong in the eyes of human and the eyes of God?

It is not wrong to love. Jesus loved everyone so much and we are called to love others like Jesus did. It’s a different kind of love though. Like I have girl friends from church whom I love a lot and we have a deep relationship because of our connection in Christ- and I have no guy like that. But it’s not a relationship kind of love, but a Christ-like love for them. I know God will provide a man in the future and I will only have eyes for him in the romantic sense. Just because I don’t have someone like that right now doesn’t make me someone who likes girls though.

I've dealt with this, being young having access and knowledge to the things of the enemy caused years of struggles. when i was 10, i was attacked with thoughts of the spirit of homosexuality. i knew they weren't true, and eventually after a bit they somewhat left me alone, when i was 12 i gave into some of these thoughts, even though i knew they were wrong. i dealt with this for years, coming to agreement knowingly and unknowingly with the enemy. Now I'm 14, almost 15. I've stopped those things and for a bit I've been struggling with thoughts that the Lord would never love me fully like he did before these things happened, but I know thats a lie from the enemy. Carew, thank you so much for sharing this. you have no idea how much this means. I still sometimes struggle with thoughts that tell me i can never fully be delivered from that, but i rebuke them. thank you so much Carew, I love you and God bless you.

Hi Corrine! When I was a pre teen, I found out that I was gay. I always knew but felt ashamed of because my own brothers and sisters in the church that I used to go with my parents + the catholic school i attended to were judgmental about it. using jesus name in vain most of the time. Years down the line after crying myself to sleep for having these feelings, I realized that there is nothing wrong with me and god made me this way for a reason! As soon as I realized that I was so much happier. I found the right people in my life. I made the right career moves, and served my community in ways I didn’t know I could because I was so depressed before. I’m sorry you feel like you need to “heal” from feelings of love you don’t have control over. I’m sorry you have been told all your life, just like me, that loving is wrong. God does not judge and never will for being the way you are. I hope you learn to be kinder, tender, and more understanding with yourself. Follow what your heart wants, not what others want for you.

Before I even knew fully what gay was, my older siblings told me the same thing. They even had a bet that I would come out before I graduated highschool. Other family members have also assumed this about me. Strangers do by the way I dress (a jean jacket apparently). I always thought that there was a part of me that could have been gay. I now have gay friends and have talked to them about how they came to that decision. I realize that I indeed am very straight and all of those comments came from the enemy to take that identity away from me. It’s nice to hear that this is more of a common thing in our generation. There’s so much pressure surrounding our sexual identities now and it can be confusing and hard when your ears are open to the world and not Jesus.

[@juancasanova6353]

I’m sorry you feel like you had to come out because of pressure, I was there once and it ruined me was a teenager. The difference is I was really gay, but the church and the community around me shamed me for it so I was in denial for a lot of years until High School. One thing I wanted to correct you from your comment is that there is no “coming to a decision” when it comes to coming out, you just know. You are born the way you are. You are born with those feelings. And you are born with that love to love who you want. No social media, or “exposure” plays a part on your journey through sexuality. I wasn’t exposed to anything in my small town, and I always knew I was gay. I hope this help ❤️

I appreciate your vulnerability and you sharing your story with us.

Why would God "set people up" to feel attraction for the same sex if it's a biological phenomenon in the same way that a man would feel attraction for a woman?

[@VishFish]

This is so sad to see this video and the comments omg. i truly hope y'all get the help you need and realise that same sex love is not the devil you make it out to be. what's really the devil here is feeling that your attraction is something that needs to be shoved in a box and shunned away, just to live a life you THINK you need to be living. Please get some help because there is nothing wrong with feeling the way you are feeling and showing that outwardly because loving another person consentually and respectfully is not harming anybody and isn't just a temptation meant to be told "no" too. Live your life how you want but if your god can't respect the choices you want to make that doesn't hurt anyone, what kind of god is that and what kind of life is that? and what about infertile males and females? what about people born with not XX or XY chromosomes but instead XXY or any other variation? what about people who don't want kids? stop demonising these things in this way as if the only way to live life is "man + woman = child" and that's the end all be all, and everything other than that is abnormal. i hope y'all get the help you need cause it def won't be coming from this video.

[@m.f.5739]

An important message, and I can relate to it a lot. I struggle with same sex attraction, and I also think my childhood had a big impact on it. When I was about 4 years, my parents got divorced, and not in a nice way. Although they tried to keep us, me and my sister, out of it, we often noticed something's off, or even heared their arguments. I didn't really have too much contact with my father in my early childhood, and I don't remember having a strong bond with him as a child. Now, I'm not saying this to blame my parents for anything, I'm sure they did the best they can and always loved me. Fast forward to school, for some reason I was always a pretty reclusive child. I never really had any close friends, also didn't desire to have any. I just wasn't interested, or at least that's what I thought. Looking back, the problem might have been deeper. Then, at the age of about 14, the trouble started to kick off. I somehow got sucked into p*rn, and by the age of 15, I was addicted. This was also when my SSA got pretty clear, although it took me some time to interpret it. At this time, I became pretty depressed. The realization of having SSA, difficulties to connect with other people, porn addiction, all this stuff. Soon enough, I discovered alcohol (it is legal to drink at the age of 16 where I live). At first, it seemed to get better. I was going out more, partying, becoming more sociable, and for the first time, I had two best friends. The SSA however, would still come over my thoughts sometimes and mess me up. This got worse over the years, and currently, it's probably at its peak. From the two friends I had, I fell out with one, and the other has become rather difficult too, so I'm lonlier again, and while it didn't bother me earlier, I cannot bear it now. I have resorted to porn and drinking, sometimes doing both things daily for periods of a month. I luckily managed to cut down at least the drinking a bit, but currently it's my SSA with upsets me the most. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist much longer. Also people start to become suspicious, probably already thinking I'm gay, and I hate this thought. But I don't even care enough to do something about it. Last anecdote, it's June again, and strangely, since the beginning of this month I've had nightmares every single night, which is unusal for me (although I have nightmares regularly). I'm pretty scared to do something I shouldn't in the next time, honestly. It feels like I've been fleeing this temptation for years, but now my legs are breaking down and I can feel the devil's breath in my neck. If anybody can, please pray for me.

[@juliosantos6356]

Carew, thank you for sharing your experience with us. I have seen your videos in the past and I can tell you are very passionate about your beliefs. As a gay man who grew up in a religious household in a small country in the Caribbean, I know how difficult it is to struggle with one’s identity and bullying. Nonetheless, ever since I came out to my mother, I have been able to experience truth and honesty with myself and the world. Although many may doubt this, I have a very strong relationship with God. In my case, I know he created me this way: a man who is full of love, patience and empathy and will spread those beautiful emotions with another man. Trust me when I tell you that, in a world of greater falsehood, evil, selfishness and disobedience, homosexuality is God’s smallest concern. It is a great mistake that religious people make when emphasizing that God does not love others due to a sexual preference. As a very spiritual being, I try to stick to the word of God in the areas that matter: spreading love, protecting my soul, detachment from materialism, chastity, and many others. For those who may be seeing this and have been deceived by the idea that you cannot have a loving relationship with God if you are not straight, they are wrong. You can have a solid relationship with God as long as your heart remains kind and your actions reflect God’s will and love. Do not direct your contempt towards God, for he loves you and created you this way with a purpose. If I can feel this peace in soul, knowing and embracing my identity, I know you can too, especially if you begin to remind yourself that you must strive every day to become a devote representative of God’s will on earth. The Bible is a beautiful, precious book; focus more on the verses that fulfill you with strength and love, not the ones condemning you for your sexuality. Most importantly, realize that sexual orientation is but a part of your identity (a small part)-you are much more than just your sexual preference. I wish you all nothing but the best. The journey to honesty may be harsh, but, at the end of it, we will all see how the heavens are filled with rainbow flags.

Around the he of 11 I started to become insecure about my body and felt as if I didn’t look like others girls my age I would refuse to wear wear a bathing suit I was so afraid that when we went to the swimming pool or the lake, someone at my school would be there and see how I looked in a swimsuit and make fun of me. And I still struggle with the same thing at the age of 15. I never realize that there was a root. I seed was planted in me at a very young age to be insecure about my body. It was from my family and being called names being picked fun at as a joke, of course. But no one really knew how much it affected me. I didn’t even realize it I know my family would never make me want to feel like that on purpose but it’s something that was very hard for me to confront them about. I felt silly for letting their joking affect me so much. But I don’t think we realize how much joking and just picking fun at someone can really affect them. Everyone has an inner battle that you don’t know anything about so before you judge or make a joke about someone think about it.

As a Christian and a gay man who is proud of my same-sex attraction, my sexuality has never interfered with my relationship with God. I also have a loving partner and we both have a great relationship with God. That said, spreading messages like this can be both harmful and dangerous. God’s love is unconditional and everlasting, and shaming others for things outside of their control is not promoting the love and forgiveness of Jesus. These messages can also increase rates of suicide in children, which I don’t think God would support. Please, just love yourself as much as God already loves you exactly the way you are.

You are totally right Gods love is unconditional but as a Christian you should know that same-sex sexuality is a sin rather you like to believe it or not it’s not something you can just skip and create your own narrative on. The Bible is a representation of God so this would be consider blasphemy because do you think it’s right that you’re telling everyone it’s ok when God said it’s wrong? And Yes! God does forgive but you can’t sin over again and expect him to forgive someone over and over again that’s not how that works. And you spreading this false narrative can also do damage to people who are trying to overcome same-sex sin this can confuse them which can cause distress not knowing what to believe.

@@tropicolana5786 you do realize that there are old testament laws that no longer apply to us because they were laws specifically made by God for a specific people for a specific time, and new testament laws that we actually are supposed to adhere to... Right?

Not everyone needs to get married and have kids. Apostle Paul never did. I never will. I am happy and I get my self worth from Jesus. I am also not interested in sports and I don’t need to. I think we need to let other Christians who are a little different than the majority of Christians know that it is possible to be happy and single and not in any relationship of sexual or romantic if that is one’s choice. I personally still struggle with same sexual attraction in limited ways but ultimately I know that I will choose singleness because I feel it’s Gods best for me not to pursue a same sex relationship because it’s not his design. But ultimately there other ways to have a full life with Christian friends who also have same struggles with their sexuality or simply being different. God bless.

It's exhausting thinking about the mental hoops you must be constantly jumping through every day, all day long. It sounds like your family and your church have instilled terrible feelings within you about yourself. How could something that you claim is so entrenched in love teach you to hate something so integral to who you are deep down? Stop being afraid of yourself and your faith will become so much stronger.

Bruh what are you even saying? Carew is telling and explaining his story on how he was forced by society to feel a certain way ( yes forced because he would tell them he not gay but was co Stanly told leading him to be confused) If you are really gay or lesbian or whatever you say you are then you are born that way. There is science behind it meaning tha you will always know and nobody should have to tell you what it is inorder for you to "know" or "relize" it.

WOW! Carew this is an amazing testimony that I believe this generation needs to hear! I struggled with sexuality and pornography at a very young age. It seemed impossible to ever get out of such a dark place. Once I gave my life to Jesus everything changed! Now I am 9 months free from every lie and bondage. I praise God everyday knowing I was once lost but now I am found. I’m so excited to see what God continues to do in your life and the influence you have for this generation! 💖

I still struggle heavilyyyyy with same sex attraction but i trust the Lord. This is something that needs to be talked about more. Also men need to start understanding that affection isn’t “gay”. God says to love each other, but not sexually

[@whitneymorrisphotography9292]

It’s nothing to struggle with. There’s nothing wrong with same sex attraction! You’re not harming anyone. Be who you are

How am I only the second one who has notifications turned on for this. Turn notifications on guys! ❤ Jesus loves you

[@alexmasswell5905]

I’ve noticed most people that spread the word of “god” really wanna seem more important than they really are lol, like no, god is god, you are you, god isn’t sending anything through you to tell, god didn’t make Christianity, man did, STOP BELIEVING A MAN MADE RELIGION AND WORSHIP GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You speak from my soul, I have been struggling with homosexuality for a long time and now I realize that I am looking for a fatherly, male relationship in my life. It is not the sexual search for the same sex. please pray for me

[@abdielmojica450]

God took my out of that lifestyle too, Glory to God for us being saved by Jesus 🤍✅

[@lazse5896]

So good! Hallelujah to the deliverance from this video 🙌🏾

[@jackson615]

Thank you so much for sharing this. Truly touched as it sounds like you took the story from me. The only difference, literally, was that I developed the habit much earlier. I needed to hear this cause I've been struggling and coming to the same conclusion lately. Appreciate the prayer and your own vulnerability.

[@Kylie-v8q]

Thank you so much for this video I really feel like God brought me too it to hear what he’s saying

[@Rad-isthebest]

Okay but why do me and you go through the same stuff like sometimes I feel like we are the same person😭

[@user-CactiKateachristfollower]

I watched!! I never exactly struggled in that area of my life but I did struggle a lot with people saying that I was something that im not so this video was still a lot of encouragement. Thank you! God is so great and has shown so much deliverance in my life!

[@danielchristian9112]
