My desire was to become a gay activist and marry my partner. As a victim of sexual abuse and after years of silence, I openly came-out. For years, I felt like a man trapped in a woman’s body and I preferred to wear men’s clothing and play the role of being a male. I supported gay rights and advocated for the marches on equality.

In John 8:32 Jesus said,

“Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

One day I attended church and heard the Word of God preached and accepted the invitation to receive Christ. My heart burned within—I felt the Lord leading me to go to the altar. 

“For godly sorrow worketh repentance” (2 Corinthians 7:10).

I confessed and repented of my sins. 

My testimony is the mercy and power of God that set me free from lesbianism. 

I accepted God’s forgiveness and healing for the first time in my life. I experienced God’s peace and freedom, and the burden of that sin lifted. Praise God!

I received the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. I thank God for the women and my Pastor who embraced me with love. Through their prayers and fasting, I am learning how to be the woman God created me to be.

While there are struggles and temptations, God is faithful to His Word.

When I am tempted, He will provide a way out so I can endure it (1 Corinthians 10:13). Breaking free from lesbianism began my process of sanctification. 

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6).

I felt the Holy Spirit leading me to go through my wardrobe to get rid of anything that would bind me to lesbianism. 

“Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord” (2 Corinthians 6:17).

I learned to change my mannerisms how to sit, walk, talk, and detach from people, places and things associated with the lifestyle. Most importantly, I had to learn how to act as a woman. As God continued to work on me, I was able to overcome memories of past relationships, sexual fantasy, sexual imaginations—bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5).

With the breaking of ungodly soul ties with my partner, I was able to rebuke any thoughts other than thoughts that are right and holy. I can testify that God moved my heart to want to be free. The renewing of my mind (Romans 12:1), came from reading, praying, fasting, and meditating on the Word of God. 

In the course of time, I was still harboring unforgiveness towards the men who sexually abused me, wounded with shame. I learned in biblical counseling forgiveness is not denying the hurt—it lets us feel the hurt and release it to God. For two weeks I prayed and ask the Lord to put the love in my heart for these men. I was led to read Psalms 103:10-12 and Matthew 6:14-17. Remembering no matter what I have done or use to do, God has forgiven me. Forgiveness is to extend mercy and to set the offender free. I met with the men individually to face the offence and to let them know I have forgiven them of the harm that was caused. 

2 Corinthians 2:10 (ESV) states, 

“Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. Indeed, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ.”

The freedom and peace I felt when I stripped off the weight of unforgiveness gave me joy unspeakable, Hallelujah! 

The Apostle Paul said,

“But by the grace of God I am what I am” (1 Corinthians 15:10).

Jesus restored me heterosexually in desire and thought. 

“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:9).

“So if the Son sets you free, you really will be free” (John 8:36, CSB).

If you are a sinner who would like to experience freedom from sin, would you now pray to God and trust Jesus Christ as your Saviour?

You can talk to God and say something like this:

Lord, I confess and repent of the spirit of perversion. May the Blood of Jesus Christ cleanse me from all sin and take the desire for this sin and break ungodly soul ties. Help me to shun the very appearance of evil. Holy Spirit, renew my mind, cleanse me from the spirit of perversion, and fill my heart and mind with the Word of God. I realize that I am a sinner and that You died for me. I repent of my sin, and ask You to now come into my heart and save me. I confess my freedom in Jesus name.
