DOES GOD HATE LESBIANS?


Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I pray that you are blessed and highly favored of the Lord and that you allow the Spirit of the Lord guide you through your day.
 
(Leviticus 18:22), Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind; it is abomination.
 
Does God hate lesbians?  This is a question that is always controversial in today's society and with the Body of Christ.  The answer is NO, God does not hat lesbians.  God despises the sexual act, but not the person.  If it were so, then we should also say that God hates His people, all of us.  I don't know what causes a woman to desire another woman.  I don't know if it is a matter of a certain genetic flaw.  I am simply stating that I know for a fact that God loves the sinner, not the sin.
 
I had the opportunity to spend time with a young lady that was a lesbian.  One day she came to me full of tears and when I asked her what was wrong, she stated that she felt that God did not love her because she was a lesbian.  Then she asked me to pray for her.  I told her that we would pray together.  After we spent quite some time praying together, God gave her the gift of speaking in tongues   She began to cry uncontrollably and paced around the room, while continuing to speak in her heavenly language.  God was definitely doing a new thing in her.  One thing that I do know is that speaking in tongues is a manifestation of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit can give spiritual gifts to whomever He chooses.
 
I know what the bible says about this particular sin and I don't condom it, and I will stand firm on what I believe.  That day, God revealed something to the both of us.  I did not expect God to bless someone with those characteristics but He did.  He proved Himself to both of us as a loving and merciful God.  I have to admit that in the back of my mind I was surprised that God would make such a deposit in that young lady's life.  I thought that her sin was too bad, even for God.  That day God showed me that He is no respecter of persons and I had no right to judge her.  I didn't think that I was judging her, but God knew what I was thinking in the back of my mind.  I asked God to forgive me and have mercy on me.  I thanked God for loving a whoremonger (which I once was), and thanked Him for having mercy on me and for His unfailing compassion towards a sinner like me.
 
If you hate someone because of their sexual choices, pray that God forgives you for a spirit of judgement and thinking that you're all that just because you are not dealing with that particular sin.  Don't hate the person, hate the sin, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but the principalities of this world, which is Satan.  PRAISE GOD! AMEN!
