Back in the early 1990’s, my ex-husband and I hosted a weekly Bible Study in the living room of our Austell, GA, home. We would teach the Word of God and train attendees how to flow with the Holy Spirit. Sometimes, we’d end up on the floor laid out by the power of God; other times, we’d end up with our eyes closed, our arms raised and our heads tilted upward… quietly basking in the Lord’s presence. It didn’t matter how the Holy Spirit chose to move, we just wanted to be in step with Him. The people who attended regularly all grew up to be five-fold ministers. The Body of Christ is benefitted.

One evening, however, a woman stayed after Bible Study to request counseling. She had been bombarded with thoughts of homosexuality and wanted help. “I’ve never been interested in women in that way,” she said “but I can’t seem to shake these thoughts. Pray for me.” She pleaded. She received prayer and the spirit of homosexuality was bound from her. She noticed instantly that a weight was lifted off of her. I remember praising God and rejoicing with her, and she went home free from that pesky spirit.

Through the years, I have counseled and cast that spirit off of many Christians, men and women, and here’s what I’m compelled to share.

Just as surely as the spirit of infirmity (colds, sickness) comes to visit people, and they have no idea when it may come — in like manner, the spirit of homosexuality may come to visit. You don’t have to invite it, ask for it, or do something to bring it on… it just roams, like infirmity, seeking whom it may infect (particularly, in cities where it runs rampantly). It often comes at night, like infirmity, when people are sleeping. It brings thoughts and images of homosexual acts. The sleeping person wakes up thinking, “Why am I having these thoughts? Why did I dream this thing?”

The enemy’s plan is to bombard them with lewd thoughts enough to make them believe they are homosexual. If left unchecked (unbound), the person under attack may begin to believe they are homosexual—worse, they may act on the thoughts, playing right into the enemy’s hand.

Most of the things we act on start first with a thought, right? A thought comes to our mind and then we choose whether or not to act on it. One may think, “I need to buy some groceries,” and before long, he or she is on the way to the supermarket. But some thoughts are not as innocent, and we must cast down wrong thoughts and imaginations, whatever they may be… that includes, stealing, cheating, deceiving, or in this case, thoughts of homosexual acts.

The Bible tells us to [Cast] down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God… bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV)

Say something like, “I bind this thought and the spirit(s) that brought it! I do not want it. I do not receive it, and I will not act on it! I command you to go back to the pits of hell from where you came.”

Young people are particularly susceptible to these attacks of the mind. The enemy is trying to gain access to control their mind and their life. According to AACAP, the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry1, “Many gay and lesbian individuals first become aware of and experience their homosexual thoughts and feelings during childhood and adolescence.”

With that in mind, born-again parents may want to regularly bind up any homosexual spirits that may be lurking in their dwelling. Talk openly to your child(ren) and if they admit to having the thoughts, say, “I take authority over the unclean spirit and command it to loose my child. I bind you in the name of Jesus and command you to leave this house!” Fasting and prayer increase your spiritual power. Do this on a regular basis, even when the child(ren) are not home. Admonish your child(ren) not to act on the thoughts, if they should ever come to them. That’s when the real bondage and strongholds take root.

It’s important not to act on homosexual thoughts. It’s like watching Hansel and Gretel being enticed by the wicked witch to come into her house. We want to yell, “NO! Don’t go in there—it’s a trap! She wants to hurt you!”

Question: How do we know if the thoughts are wrong?

Answer: If the thought is not in line with the Word of God, it is wrong. If you are unsure, lean toward it being wrong until you consult with your Pastor and/or research it in the Scriptures.

Intimacy with those of your same sex goes against the Word of God. (See supporting Scriptures below)

Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin. Leviticus 18:22 (NLT)

They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

Romans 1:25-28 (NIV)

Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, 10 or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NLT: New Living Translation)

Realize that faith comes by hearing… but let us hear the Word of God, not a false voice that suggests acts and actions that are against God’s Word. That can be applied to many other things. If the thought comes for you to steal something, you are not a thief until you steal it, right? So don’t steal it. You’ll lose it again anyway. Walk in righteousness and repent for entertaining any sinful thoughts.

If you have already yielded to homosexuality and want to change, seek deliverance from your Pastor or other Clergy (Five-Fold Ministry Officers). Get serious about your deliverance. If, for some reason, you cannot get help from your pastor, but you know another five-fold minister, or have a brother, sister, parent or grandparent who operates in deliverance ministry—reach out to them. Kick pride aside.

Now, let us recap. The enemy brings you thoughts of homosexuality. You know these are not messages from God. Do not receive or continue to entertain the thoughts. Do not act on the thoughts. Instead, bind them up and cast them away from you, or seek the help of your Pastor or other five-fold minister (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Teacher) in whom you feel comfortable sharing this most private information. When you are able, bless the man or woman of God who helps you… even if they are not your Pastor.

Deliverance is freely ministered, but if someone stands with you through one of life’s trials and/or takes you through deliverance, then, when you are setting aside your church offerings, it’s only right that you remember them with some token of appreciation.

Do what is right. God blesses righteousness. Know that we are in a season of reform within the church and in the world. Don’t forsake the ways of the Lord. Do forsake sin. Love everyone, whether they are bound by the spirit of homosexuality or free.

Pray for one another. Pray for peace in the middle east and Africa. And pray for our most blessed President-Elect, Barack Obama and his family. God bless you all.

Give love,

Live love,

Apostle Tracey

* To bind up a spirit, you must be a Christian. Simply say, I bind you in the name of Jesus.
