Rescued from the Homosexual Lifestyle

Jesus Christ is to me the Son of God, the Word of God, teacher, friend, counselor, and best of all, he is my Savior. The Holy Spirit spoke to me through a movie I was watching. While I was watching it he asked questions I felt were being asked directly at me. At the time I was living the homosexual lifestyle.

As he was talking to me, I felt him in my heart and in my spirit and when that happened, I broke. I knew right then that God loved me so much that he was willing to die for me because he never saw me as a gay, broken, and ugly person. The people I was sharing my life with would never die for me nor could they love me unconditionally like Jesus.

In my cell that night, I went to my knees and asked him to forgive me and save me. He did that because my need for sex was finally quenched with the living water that he so graciously poured over my life.

The gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ, the Word of God. The gospel has impacted me greatly with every story, every parable, every fear the disciples had as well as the triumphs. I could see myself in all of that.

How am I growing in my walk with Jesus? By staying in the word, doing [several different] Bible studies through the mail for many years now. I have also been an usher, greeter, speaker, worked books and reference tables and prayer tables. I have been leading guys to Christ in the yard and starting Bible studies there as well.
