Visuals in the Mind and Dealing with Same-Sex Attraction (and All Desires of the Flesh)

In this episode, I share that visual memories of my committing same-sex sex would stir up feelings of lust, as if I were committing the sins. I realized that I needed to deal with these memories. Also, I realized that I could be reading a magazine in a doctor’s office, and certain text and a photo could ignite a memory of past sins and arouse lust. And I began looking at Romans 12:2 – to renew the mind (the intellect) – from that perspective, and what, intellectually, made me attracted to men. So, I asked the Lord to help me think this through as I wrote down the reasons. What I experienced was an in-depth repentance and comfort from Jesus that I didn’t know was possible (Matthew 5:4). I often review what I've written, and it continues to help me say “No” to the flesh and “Yes” to the Holy Spirit. I believe it’s a practice that every Christian should engage in repeatedly, regardless of the sins they struggle with.  Email: [email protected]
