3) LGBQT+ Community: “We were born this way. This is how God made us.”

It is not God’s design, but a direct result of the fall of man.  When Adam and Eve sinned, they handed all their power and authority concerning this world over to Satan.  All sin, all sickness, all death, all evil is a direct result of that one act and it is called “the fall of man.” 

The four Gospels show Jesus as the Lamb of God who came to earth to redeem mankind. In the book of Revelation 5:5 we see: 

Then one of the elders said to me, 

“Do not weep! See, 

the Lion of the tribe of Judah, 

the Root of David, has triumphed.

He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

That Scroll and its seven seals represent the power and authority that Adam and Eve lost when they first sinned.  The rest of Revelation unfolds with God dealing with Satan. God promises that he will fully restore what Satan stole from mankind.

For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made in the secret place,
    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
    How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
    they would outnumber the grains of sand—
    when I awake, I am still with you.

Psalms 139:13-18

*********************************************************************************************************

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life 

has set you free from the law of sin and death. 

 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, 

God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.  

And so he condemned sin in the flesh,  

in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, 

who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

Romans 8:1-4

Name of Our God

Our God is Our Creator God 

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness…”

So God created mankind in his own image,
    in the image of God he created them;
    male and female he created them.

Genesis 1:26,27

The Invisible Qualities of our God

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature— have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

Romans 1:20

The Cross of Jesus

If we are desirous to profit aright by meditating on the death of Christ,

We ought to begin with cherishing abhorence of our sins,

in proportion to the severity of the punishment which he endured.

John Calvin

The Blood Of Jesus

 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, 

we have fellowship with one another, 

and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

Prayer/Decree

Heavenly Father, 

In the name of Jesus, we ask Holy Spirit for you to give us the exact prayers that our loving Father wants to answer for our sons and daughter, husbands, wives, grandchildren, neighbors, friends and co-workers who are caught in the deception that sexual relationships outside of the covenant of marriage is ordained of you.

We stand with all the saints of old and decree: Satan is still a liar. We know that he lied to Adam and Eve in the garden and has been lying ever since. He is also a counterfeit trying to copy everything good that you have created. Nevertheless, the one thing he cannot counterfeit is the Blood of Jesus which Jesus shed on the cross of Calvary. Because of the power of the Cross and the shed Blood of Jesus, we break the lie spoken to each in the LGBQT+ community that they must live out this lie. 

Here are a few other things the Thief (Satan) does: he deceives, he divides, he discourages, he delays and he distracts.
