Miriam Alexander- Out of Lesbianism in the Midst of Drugs Through Prayer
Originally posted on 6/1/2012
Here's a powerful testimony of a girl growing up as a tom boy while following her father around. Miriam Alexander grew to have attraction to females and acted on it along with drugs, alcohol and club hopping. While she used drugs and attended church, she many times prayed to God to take her out of the destructive behavior. One day, Miriam Alexander was touched by God and cleansed and was rid of all desires for women. Through her drug abuse and lesbianism, she never gave up on humbly praying and seeking Him.
Watch this powerful testimony which will give you a perspective on what many gays are dealing with right now. Praise God!!

How Lady Ga Ga’s ‘Born This Way’ Spins Off Gay Pastors’ 70′s Disco Hit
I wanted to share this article with you because even though everyone has probably heard about Lady Gaga's song "Born This Way", doesn't mean they fully took in what was being said. Most people know she is openly bisexual and supports the gay community but do you know how she came up with the song?
My friends over at AT2W wrote an article nearly a year ago on this subject. The subject matter is very straight forward, much like how I write but it points out where our world is headed. The glorification of homosexuality and how we are constantly praying and fasting to rid ourselves of it, can be overwhelming. But we need to deal with this truth and think about how we came out of the lifestyle and how the world is trying to put us and others back in it. This is why I preach for us to keep our minds on God. Its so very important.
Take time to read the article below and you will see what I mean:
We wanted to try and point something out about the title of this post. First off, can you see Lady GaGa doing this? Surely you can if you know
anything about her. Well, with her totally out of pocket radical self,
her hit song ‘Born This Way’ is a remake of a 1975 disco song ‘I Was
Born This Way’ by Carl Bean. Carl Bean was a openly gay man in the 1970′s who made songs on the Motown label. He was a supporter of gay rights then and in fact he still is today. Carl Bean
calls himself Archbishop Bean and is over a jurisdiction of openly gay
accepting churches in different districts. He is the pastor of Unity
Fellowship Church.
Well, Lady Gaga in her open support of gays, lesbians, transgenders,
etc. found it a perfectly fitting song to spin from to push the gay
agenda. She’s made it really clear that she is bisexual is pushing the
support of gays in every way she can.
So, she glorifies the gay lifestyle so much that she has come up with
her own song which is a spin off of Bean’s 1970′s song. We thought we’d
take a look at what was going on in his mind in 1975 lyrics when he
wrote “I Was Born This Way”.
You laugh at me and you criticize
‘Cause I’m happy, carefree and gay
Yes, I’m gay…
I was born this way – yeah
Now I won’t judge you – don’t you judge me
We’re all the way nature meant us to be…
You call me strange ’cause you don’t understand God’s role for me in life’s overall plan
I’ve learned to hold my head up high…
Yeah – born I said
From a little bitty bitty boy
I was born this way
We can see Carl Bean, even back then, was
breaking ground and being very adamant about his sexuality and not
caring much what people thought. He does give us a hint that his life is
not ‘in God’s overall plan.’ So he knows God objects
to it. In the lyrics, he insists the lifestyle is ‘ok’ and that he
knows he was born gay.
Now, lets take a look at Gaga’s version of
the song. She has actually added her own spin to the lyrics and made the
song her own. But you will see just how far she goes at justifying the
lifestyle and how she added God into her loop. Here’s some highlights of
her “Born This Way” song:
It doesn’t matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
‘Cause you were born this way, baby…
I’m beautiful in my way
‘Cause God makes no mistakes
I’m on the right track baby
I was born this way…
Don’t be a drag – just be a queen…
A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M…
Rejoice and love yourself today
‘Cause baby you were born this way
No matter gay, straight, or bi,
Lesbian, transgendered life
I’m on the right track baby…
Now Lady Gaga isn’t being cute and sassy about her’s. She’s not just telling the world to accept her for being who she is. Lady Gaga
is on a mission and it almost sounds scripted for a real purpose to
reach people around the world. She goes so far as to give people an option: “It doesn’t matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M”.
She’s telling people that she knows being homosexual is wrong but you
can make a choice and you don’t have to choose God. But at the same time
she admits God created her and He makes no mistakes. She’s just that
biblical-minded to state that God can’t make mistakes when He created
us. She goes on to pronounce people are on the right track meaning
there’s nothing wrong with being that way and she even says having a
different love is not a sin.
So, as you can see the two entertainers
made the same declarations, even in different eras, that they wanted the
world to accept homosexuals just as Marsha Ambrosius did her song, “Far Away”.
They pronounced this even if they knew God is against it and it is a
sin. One thing that stood out was the the fact that they both believe
they are born homosexual which is the title of song. For some strange
reason, those whom are gay are convinced they were ‘born this way’
because some say they can’t remember a time when they felt heterosexual.
They never consider these points:
1) they may have been sexually abused at a young age
2) they may have been exposed to viewing inappropriate behavior at a young age
3) they may have not had a good relationship with their parents
4) they may not have had a relationship at all with one or the other of their parents
5) they may have grew up in a strict household
6) they may have wanted to be the opposite gender of their siblings to fit in.
and so much more.
Our point here is: God never formed any precious baby in their
mother’s womb to be gay. It goes against his principles and His word
(The Bible). The bible states inNumbers 23:19:
“God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind.” AndPsalm 139: 14-15 says:“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.”
So God can not and will not lie. Furthermore, He does not change. He is not human but He is God. When God says its an
abomination to desire the same sex, he means this because these are His
principles and He would never mislead us unlike man (Lady Gaga, Carl Bean and others). Also, people need to realize He made us in his image as the good book states in Genesis 1:27:
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”
It’s really clear that he intended man with woman and woman with man
as God-like people. Though homosexuality occurred in the bible, He
despised it then and He surely does now. Sometimes we think just because
God doesn't strike down people like He did in the Old Testament, its
alright with Him with whatever we all choose to do. This is a lie from
the devil. The New Testament declares He will not do these things just
to get his people to follow Him. He gives us free will and will not beg
for our acceptance of Him. This is why it is very important we know whom we support like fans of Lady Gaga
and the like. If God gives us free will to live as we choose, even not
for Him, then what can we expect from Him on judgement day if we did not
follow Him?
Many people have heard of former gospel Anthony Williams II better known as 'Tonex' and now named 'B-Slade'. He was very radical in his music as it crossed the gospel music boundaries into pop, rock and whatever suited his fancy.
Well, he has left the gospel music arena and is now singing secular music. I wanted you to check out this video of a song he wrote about some of his experiences and some other people's experiences combined, on an absent father (in the house but not really there). It's pretty moving to say the least.
If You Backslide, Just Get Up and Come Back To Jesus
I think this is very important to talk about. We can talk all day about how we left the homosexual lifestyle and we are on our way to living for Christ in a victorious way. But is it really that easy? I will be the first to tell you, no.
Some may mistaken that once you are saved from homosexuality, it is over and done with. This is so not true. Even after being delivered and set free from the lifestyle, months and even years can go by, and you will have to admit you struggled with some aspect of it.
I must say that in my 6 years of being homosexual and then spending nearly 12 years out of the lifestyle, did not mean I did not struggle. I had feelings, desires and wants like anyone else. There were times I had to pray harder, read my bible more and make sure to stay away from tell tale signs. I made a conscious decision to do so because I wanted to please God. Lord knows it is not easy. I did not have a church home that really helped me out of it nor keep me away from it. This was because I found the church overall hypocritical when it came to helping those wanting out of the gay lifestyle. I even had issues with church folk who ridiculed and shunned me because I 'used' to be a lesbian. How crazy is that? It was like I still did not deserve deliverance or my 'calling out' of the lifestyle was not 'valid' because of my past sin.
We all have come close to or have literally fallen back into the lifestyle. Many people don't want to admit it but, what we indulged in before can easily be picked right back up if we lose focus.
Here are some reasons why some of us have backslid into the homosexual lifestyle or something that was close to it:
We may feel lonely
We may be longing for love, affection and attention
We may take our focus off God and onto the world
We may be focused on God but still feel weak to the desires
We may get caught off guard
We may sometimes feel God won't bless us with the opposite sex, so we may desire the same sex because of it
We may feel God just can't change us completely
We may have been in the lifestyle for most of our lives and may not see a way out
We may not have support from family, friends or church
We may be dealing with other life issues which may open up a door for feelings to come back
We may have had a tragedy occur that opens the door for feelings to manifest
... really just life in general
These are just some of what I think may be the main issues of how we can backslide in our faith. I will be the first to tell you that life is not easy, as you know. Also, the desire to be loved is another strong one that really can pull us back in. I know it was for me. I can admit that there was a time when I wanted to go back in- because I wanted love.
It's not easy being single, Christian and not having anyone to hold you, be there for you and love you. We all need to be loved and its when we hit our weakest points that we may fall into the lifestyle again.
But if we recognize that God is a loving and forgiving God, we know without a shadow of a doubt that we are His children and He will forgive us. Its not about how many times we fall but its our heart in the falling. Did we just defy God and ignore is call back to Him? And when we heard Him call us back, did we come back?
So, if you have backslid to your past lifestyle, just get up and come back to Jesus. He knows your heart and He knows if you just call on Him, He will give you strength, hope and a will to run on in the race for heaven.
Allow God to 'mess some things up' in your life, so you can get back on track. God never said it was easy but its worth it.
To some people, this may seem cruel and unkind. But can we really say it is wrong for a business woman who bakes wedding cakes for a living, not be able to refuse service to anyone?
I wanted to share this with you because even though some of us have been ridiculed and treated wrongly because we were gay or lesbian, doesn't mean some things are just true. When I was in the lifestyle, I would have taken this very badly. Even though at the time I was happy, so I thought, I would have been hurt to have a business not want to serve me because I was homosexual.
I can see now how this could create a problem for others who just don't believe in the lifestyle. Its almost like infringing on their beliefs if we demand service like this. I'm not speaking of being denied shopping in the grocery store or in the bank, but there will be instances where individuals will not agree with the lifestyle.
Now, that we can understand that the gay lifestyle is not pleasing to God, we can see why a Christian wedding cake baker would not want to make a cake for a lesbian couple.
Victoria Childress who runs her own cake business from home politely sat this lesbian couple down and informed them of her Christian values.Janelle Sieversclaims
she replied she understood, but she and her disappointed partner, Trina
Vodraska say they were shocked by Childress’ denial to bake their wedding cake. We ask you, doesn’t God approve of Victoria Childress boldness for Jesus Christ in these last and evil days? We assure, God does not see this as discrimination, but He views it as victory within the Kingdom of God. Angels in heaven are rejoicing right now,
because of Victoria Childress bold courage to deny the demonic force of
homosexuality. This lesbian couple should not be so upset about
Victoria Childress’ honesty, but they should be grateful that Jesus
Christ is using her to capture them from Satan’s territory.
Do You Need to Apologize and Ask Forgiveness of Someone?
I talk a lot about what I've been through in my past and who has hurt me. I've mentioned how I was hurt by family members, friends, schoolmates, neighborhood friends, co workers, past relationships, etc. I have even tried blaming my parents for my pain as a child and ultimately me turning to homosexuality. Of course I can't blame them for what I chose as an adult. That was my own decision.
But that is not what I want to talk about in this post. I want to tackle how we can deal with how we have hurt others. Its always easy to talk about who hurt and wronged us, but what about the pain we caused others? We have to admit that we have caused someone or some people pain- even when we never intended to.
I can remember times when I meant so well and somehow I did or said something wrong. It was either a time when I didn't show how much I cared or I was careless with my words or was selfish in some way. I think we all have been through this and it hurts when we realize we made these mistakes. It just takes the other party to mention it or get our attention and we know we caused them grief. Even we know what grief feels like.
We don't always realize what we are doing but sometimes its very hurting to someone else.
Just as we would love to get an apology from people who hurt us, that may not happen. And truthfully, it is o.k. We won't always receive an apology, but we should always offer an apology to others. God honors this when we submit to Him this way.
So, I will be the first to offer an apology for:
Not appreciating someone
Not showing I cared
Being careless with my words or actions
Acting selfish
and anything else
I really believe in apologies and admitting my wrongdoings. Hopefully, we will receive forgiveness but if we don't, God sees. As long as the apology is from the heart, that is what matters. The person receiving the apology may not accept it, but we must try to offer it. Its just the right thing to do.
I remember that struggles are not just with sexual sins but with dealing with other issues in life too. They help shape who I am when I deal with my other issues.
By pffering apologies and asking forgiveness, this clears our conscience and opens the door for repaired relations and/or new ones to come.
So, who can you offer an apology and ask forgiveness to? Is it a parent, brother, sister, family member, friend, son, daughter, or spouse? Will you try and offer it so you can move on and they can see Jesus through your heart?
The Bible Can Help When Seeking Strength Through Life's Challenges
I wanted to reach out to anyone whose needing strength through any issue in life at this time. If you need strength in getting through your recent departure from the homosexual lifestyle, these scriptures can help.
Isaiah 40:28-31Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary,and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 41:10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
1 Chronicles 16:11 Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually!
Exodus 15:2 The LORD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
Psalm 18:32-34 the God who equipped me with strength and made my way blameless. He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights. He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
Psalm 119:23 Even though princes sit plotting against me, your servant will meditate on your statutes.
For those who are confused or have questions, this is a good start at finding solutions on how to face the issue head on and find ways to dissolve same sex attraction.
We found great definitions from professionals at samesexattraction.org. They have laid out what is a clear understanding of the topic.
Same-sex attraction includes erotic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors directed toward the same gender. A person who experiences same-sex attraction may experience emotional and sexual feelings or attractions, and may or may not engage in sexual behavior. Same-sex attraction cannot be identified simply by the presence or absence of outward sexual behavior.
So, as you can see, same sex attraction has nothing to do with having sex per se but an attraction to the same sex. There are feelings and emotions that are attached to the attraction to the same gender but sexual behavior has not be established or explored.
Here's more info on the subject:
Emotional and social interests in individuals of the same gender are healthy as long as they are not excessive and do not develop a sexual or erotic dimension. When same-gender interests become extreme and are eroticized, they become same-sex attraction (also known as same-gender attraction or homosexuality).
Same sex attraction can be a good and healthy thing when one desires to be close to individuals of the same gender; as long as it does not cross any boundaries of an excessive and unhealthy attraction. We all need healthy relationships with members of the same gender because we communicate better socially with them and ourselves.
Here's more:
Same-sex attractionis an intense interest in others of the same gender. This interest may include desires for their attention, friendship, intimacy, or a fascination with their bodies and other gender traits. It may also include erotic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors directed toward the same gender.
A person who experiences same-sex attraction may experience one or more of the following:
Intense attractions toward people of the same gender. (These feelings may or may not be sexual or erotic.)
Intense emotional involvement with people of the same gender.
Sexual behavior. (The presence or absence of homosexual behavior does not determine whether someone experiences same-sex attraction–it cannot be identified simply by the presence or absence of outward sexual behavior.)
Same Sex Attraction can cross boundaries from seeking attention and friendship to what becomes homosexual feelings. This can lead into the physical act of homosexuality as one may seek a sexual attachment to the same sex and sexual activity.

Why Is It Difficult for Many Gays and Lesbians To Respect Ex-Homosexuals
This is a very interesting article that gives the perspective from ex gay point of view.
Excerpt:"Ex-homosexuals are harassed more than the average homosexual of this age, because the gays and lesbian community is growing into the majority within society. Many of them are disrespecting ex-homosexuals and trying to dominate their lives and take away their freedom to oppose homosexuality, which is what they have accused straight people of doing to them, for so many years."

Should Parents Discourage Opposite Gender Tendencies from Their Children?
Originally posted on May 26, 2011
There are many families that deal with this issue and it is a real issue that many do not know how to handle. Since I was brought up in the 1970's, I can say that my parents would not have tolerated this if they noticed it. In fact when I was in 6th grade, I became sort of a tom boy. For some girls, they do go through this stage and then they outgrow it after puberty hits. I do remember my mother looking at my class photo and stating she did not like it because I looked like a boy. Well, I didn't notice the change until she mentioned it but we did have a family tragedy not long before so that may have caused my appearance to alter a bit. But my point is, when she told me she did not like it and that she wanted me to take better care of my looks, I was then conscious of it and did what she said.
It only took my mother to tell me once that I was not looking "lady-like" and I worked to get back to looking and acting more like a girl. Now, of course I still had hidden attractions to the same sex later on so the appearance is not the deciding factor of homosexual tendencies but it can't be ruled out.
For other parents, if you see your child, for example- your son appearing to act and maybe even dress feminine, then a talk needs to happen. We as parents should not encourage nor ignore possible homosexual tendencies. Firstly, it is damaging to their self image and will cause other issues down the road in life if not addressed immediately. Secondly, we should not be encouraging opposite gender tendencies either. What I mean by this is: girls need to have the attention of a female role model as in how to dress, act and present herself in public. She should have a mother or female in her life that models a strong feminine image. This would be the same for a boy. He needs a father or male figure in his life that reminds him to be masculine, the provider and strong family image in life and his future family's life.
So with that being said, girls should not be roughing it up much with all boys and boys should not be playing with girls' toys or present around all females most of the time. This creates a distortion in their identity and this is one way gender roles are confused and insecurities can develop.
The kind of talk a parent should have with their child if they suspect or witness opposite gender tendencies would be a calm and concerned conversation. One that does not alarm or frighten the child but a one-on-one talk that lets the child know that you are concerned about some things. As Christians, we should do this in the most loving way possible. If the child feels they are being down graded by the parent or humiliated with faith threats, many children with opposite gender tendencies will rebel and carry out possible homosexual desires.
This may be a phase they are going through. But on the other hand, since our society today is so fixated on the gay lifestyle, children at school are dealing with this everyday and we as parents do not know about it. But rest assure that they know much more than we give them credit. So, always be a step ahead and ask questions and have loving conversations of concern result in resolution and support. Build a close relationship with your child as this subject will affects them later in life if not addressed. As Christians, it is our duty to fulfill the will of God through our children by standing up and addressing what could become unpleasing to God. Remember you are the driving force to raising your kids up in the values and morals God would honor. By being that force, you as the parent can create a generation of confident and God-fearing leaders in our society.
We will return with some specifics on this subject soon that go into actual homosexual tendencies and lifestyles.

The mother on this video is one we would call uneducated and
nonspiritual. We would say this because she is announcing on her video
that both her daughter and son are homosexual and she is proud of it for
them. She allows them to bring their friends over in the lifestyle as
well. She states she'd rather them be at the house 'vogue-ing' as she
calls it, than for them to be out in the streets doing it. Its like how
some parents think if they let their children smoke marijuana, drink or
do other drugs at home, is better than them doing it in the streets.
(BTW, to vogue is a modeling step or move that many gay men do as
imitating supermodels on the runway.)
This mother recognizes that
the gay lifestyle is dangerous as she says she knows the men, for
instance, carouse around with many other men sexually. She also said
that the men get used and abused in the streets and are no good
physically but says its still ok with her.
What Were You Really Looking For in Your Gay Relationships?
Have you ever asked yourself this question? Did you actually ponder on it and get an answer for yourself?
Well, I have. I remember being hurt by the last man that was in my life and I knew at that point I was going to stop denying what I felt for women. You see, I had long before had a interest in the same sex from a pre-teen. I never wanted to act on it but it was always in the back of my mind. So when I broke it off with that last boyfriend then, I knew I really just wanted someone to love me.
And love is what I sought out and ultimately thought I would get it from a woman. Well, after meeting a few and having a few relationships, I had to start dealing with the fact that this was not working. Just when thought I found love, the other person was not serious enough, only wanted one thing or wanted what I could give them. I found myself doing and accepting more things than I should have- just in the name of love that I was not getting in the first place.
If you haven't realized it, the gay lifestyle is full of broken, insecure and quite frankly, leeching people. Now I am not saying everyone is that way but I can assure you that some people get into the lifestyle for many reasons and some of them are only looking for what you can do for them. The gay lifestyle appears to be the answer to loneliness and a void you need filled- but really we are fulfilling a physical desire that we don't understand in the first place and then sometimes others are looking to use and abuse the same sex.
But the point is what were you really looking for and did you receive it? Some say 'no', and that they never received the love they were looking for and others say 'yes' but it ended up one sided. Others say same sex attraction or homosexuality is so destructive that they really did not know what they were doing getting involved in it.
What I say is this: In my experience, the gay lifestyle is a facade. We initially feel it is the answer to these aching desires we can't shake or for many of us we are looking for love. But what happens is we can get connected with people who have not intentions on doing us any good. We find ourselves more broken, hurt and confused then before.
My experiences were trying to seek real love in the same sex relationships and finding myself compromising and never receiving true love.
This may not be your story but I don't think that people can deny that the gay lifestyle is destructive and a 'take and take more without giving' type of life.
So whatever you were looking for in the same sex lifestyle, you most likely never received it because there are so many people who are in it that take advantage of one another.
Your only true love is from Jesus Christ. He gave up his life for you on the Cross and who could love us more than that? Stop looking for your true love and realize God has been on your side always.
It's always a good thing to be able to admit we still struggle with things in our lives. Sometimes I think we come to tackle an issue and just because we confronted it, we are alright now. This is not true. The initial confrontation of our issues is the starting point but we all need more help in keeping our minds on what's important.
We have to realize that our struggles don't just go away from that first meeting or talk with someone. We have to constantly reach out and receive support and seek God for strength. He wants us to connect with others so we can know that others suffer the same things.
Even though we can leave the initial conversation or meeting inspired and ready to face the world head on, it won't be long before we find ourselves back where we started. That usually means we, at that point, see that we need more help then we thought.
That is where your support system comes in handy and of course making sure to pray and read our bibles daily before we do anything at the start of our day. If we give God that time before we do anything in the morning, you will see your days and weeks going smoother for you because you connected with the Most High first. He wants to be your strength and your shield. But we have to open up and let Him in.
So, don't be afraid to continue to ask for help and guidance firstly from God and then your support system. We all need support. Don't be ashamed because your struggle needs more attention. We all do.
Hello!! It's that time of the month again! This will be our 2nd fast of the year. I actually stayed on my fast for 3 weeks because I felt the need to do so last time. Its all up to you how long you feel you want to but I do suggest that if you did not do a full 5 days, to try and do so this time.
Remember: By fasting, I have found that our eyes are open; our ears can hear and we comprehend what God wants us to do. Fasting leaves us open to hear and receive God's word more clearly. It also breaks down our dependance on food which forces us to depend on God for physical strength. Basically, if you really want change in your life or want to hear God more clearly, you can accomplish it by fasting.
Our fast is 1 week out of the month. This would actually be a Monday thru Friday (Five days). Now, many people can fast for weeks on end and that is fine. It really is what is comfortable for you especially health wise. So advice you to consult your doctor as to what will be best for you.
I would like to invite anyone who wants to fast along with me on March 5th thru March 9th. We will be fasting with water only and then incorporate a protein shake in the evening around 5pm. You can go the entire 5 days fasting straight through without food if you can do so.
I just wanted to share this and invite anyone to fast, to get a Word from God and clearer understanding of their life.
Please contact me if you will join me in the fast for the week of March 5th thru March 9th. I'd like to be your support during the time of fasting as we help each stay strong.
I am an ex-lesbian who lived the life of a homosexual for 6 years. I have been delivered from it for 12 years now.
I desire to meet ex-homosexuals, those wanting out and anyone that wants help or guidance in doing so.
