Healing Homosexuality
"For many years I have secretly struggled with my homosexuality. But all during those years God was bringing people into my life who would eventually lead me to freedom from my sin and to wholeness in the place of my brokenness. The list is long; all deserve my heartfelt gratitude, including my wife, a brother in law and several pastor friends. I especially am grateful for the ministry of Greater Hope and my experiences in Living Waters.
Week after week our leaders, Jeff and Wendy Watros, led us patiently and lovingly to examine our lives. Using the material produced by Desert Stream, we regularly visited God's Word, this sharp, two-edged sword that opened up festering wounds. Led by our ministry team we met again and again this Jesus who applied the Balm of Gilead to bring us healing. Eventually the participants became instruments of healing as well. I am blessed by my experiences with these brothers and sisters.
One of the chief learnings I have received in Living Waters is the importance of process. Forgiveness is a process. So too is healing and deliverance from sin. God stands ever ready to offer both forgiveness and deliverance. Some of us just need more encouraging than others. I thank God that he has used Jeff and Wendy Watros as well as fellow pilgrims on the way to wholeness to bless my life."
