Trading Lies for Truth

By: Anonymous

Life is lots of things. It's tragic, traumatizing, sometimes unbearable, and sometimes painful, but life can also be full of joy and laughter. The funniest and sometimes incredibly frustrating part of being a child of God on this planet is that nearly every moment here on Earth is a lesson.

Regardless of what you are going through, God is good. He didn’t create your terrible circumstances, but He will definitely use them for your benefit. For instance, I was molested by my mother from at least four years old for years, and then when she finally stopped. a man molested me for years. And because of both of these people, I grew up believing I was gay.

I was so disgusted by what my mother made me do to her that when she stopped and the man took over, I was so glad to not have to touch her anymore, and I saw the man as the one who saved me. So being with him in that way seemed like a relief, and I grew up thinking I must be gay even though I had no idea what that meant because I falsely believed this man was my savior.

The devil twists everything. I should never have even known what the female form looked like at four years old, so the devil used that to deceive me into thinking I must be gay, and I believed that for almost forty-six years. Luckily, the Lord never stopped pursuing me, and after years of sexual, mental, and violent physical abuse, I finally reached out to a family friend with a deliverance ministry for help. I had been forced into a conversion cult for three and a half years as a teenager. That did nothing but further traumatize me, but this time, I was ready instead of being forced, and the Lord delivered me.

I had also been lied to in the womb because my mother and father prayed fervently for me to be a girl, so I was born thinking I was already wrong and unwanted. So actually for the first forty-four years of my life, I thought I was transgender because I had the wrong parts. After seeking the Lord and listening to my Christian counselor who told me that when I became a Christian, I became a brand-new creation, I stopped claiming the identity of a homosexual and instead, claimed my identity as a child of God. My counselor also told me about how God stitched me together in my mother’s womb Himself, so if God stitched me together, and God doesn’t make mistakes, then He must have intended for me to be a boy.

I can’t say that when I started these deliverance sessions that all of a sudden I felt the need to go find a woman, but I can tell you that I’m experiencing a level of freedom today that I never knew was possible. The trick is to identify the lie and learn what the truth is and then decide to believe the truth and renounce the lies. It’s not easy but it is simple.
