We are grateful for your honest confession and your desire to seek forgiveness and guidance from the Lord. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God, and it is in His name that we are saved. As the Bible tells us, "in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace" (Ephesians 1:7 WEB).
First, let us address the sins you have confessed. God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins when we repent and turn to Him. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9 WEB). This includes sins of premarital intimacy, impure thoughts, swearing, lying, idleness, and any form of self-harm or Satan worship. We rebuke these sins in the name of Jesus and pray for your deliverance and healing.
Regarding homosexuality, the Bible is clear that it is a sin. As it states in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 WEB, "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortioners, will inherit the Kingdom of God." However, it is important to note that God loves all sinners and desires for them to turn to Him and be saved. "But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8 WEB).
We must also address that the desire to marry someone of the same sex is not in alignment with biblical principles. Marriage, as designed by God, is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. As it states in Genesis 2:24 WEB, "Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh."
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this dear soul who has come to You with a repentant heart. Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing from all unrighteousness. We rebuke the sins confessed, and we pray for deliverance and healing.
Father, we also pray for guidance and strength as they navigate their feelings and relationships. We ask that You fill them with Your Holy Spirit, guiding them in the way they should go. We pray that they will seek You with all their heart and that they will come to know the truth of Your Word.
We ask this all in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to study the Word of God and to seek His will for your life. Pray for guidance and strength as you navigate your feelings and relationships. Remember that God loves you and desires the best for you. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB).
Lastly, we encourage you to find a Bible-believing church where you can fellowship with other believers and grow in your faith. It is through the support and encouragement of other believers that we are strengthened and equipped to live a life that honors God.
