Pastor DL Foster

[mcifami]

Lord, I pray right now, that you can help me through this. I am disgusted with myself, and there are times when I can't control my sinful desires. I've prayed before, I'll pray again, I NEED YOU! Please God, PLEASE! I want nothing more than to be free of this burden I have been carrying around with me for 6 years. I want to be able to love you, and I want you to be able to love me, Please God, take it away. I need change, and this is hope. Please Please Please! Amen.

[gcmwatch]

@mcifami what if I told you that God has heard your prayer and by faith has freed you? What if he told you that all you need to do now is walk away?

[mcifami]

@gcmwatch I thank the Lord and I pray that I have the strength to remain free and I walk away.

[Askadiddle]

Praise God!

[chutubeme]

I used to be an ex Lesbian but JESUS delivered me from that and now im truly happily in love with a man..but there is also temptations with him but YES Jesus can deliver us from homosexuality,drugs,lust,lying­,etc... :)

[gcmwatch]

@chutubeme God bless you my sister. The only hope for freedom is in Jesus Christ alone

[PreciousDust]

Paster DL Foster. God Bless You a billion times. I have been fighting against homosexuality since I was a very young child. The lie was told to me too. The devil has worked a worthless lie into my mind. But today I say yes, and ask that you pray for me that I will be able to do all that is necessary so Jesus will heal me and deliver me and help another to do the same. God bless you because I see that it is possible just like The Lord Says.... Thank you :)

[gcmwatch]

@PreciousDust Amen PD, with GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. Believe him, receive his word and be made whole.

[ladiesman27813]

@PreciousDust If I may what events in your life occured that made you consider engaging in homosexual activity I would like to know so maybe I could help in reaching out to others who are in the same predicament Thank you

[dtl25021988]

hey pastor foster can u pray for me as well I think im gay but i never physically done anything with a guy. Im from the caribbean and i dont really go out often. I am baptise and i did gave myself to go but i no longer serve him. To tell u the truth im a coward and I also wished i was never made can u pray for me please

[gcmwatch]

@dtl25021988 dtl my prayers are with you brother. Youre not gay. Dont mislabel yourself unnecessarily. You just need to renew your vows to God and devote yourself to serving him. He is able to help you through any situation. With God all things are possible. Without him, youre basically on your own.

[lildonleeydaprodigy]

@dtl25021988 i can tell you now i have prayed for you. The lord healed me from fornication and can heal you from your homosexual thoughts. It does not matter if you have not serve him begin to serve him i can assure you lord and his angels will be overwhelmed with joy if you repent and begin to serve the lord. the apostle paul said in ROMANS 8:38-39 nothin can separate you from the LOVE of GOD.

[gcmwatch]

@dtl25021988 what do you mean by "youre not gay"? Of course Im not, thats what my testimony is saying. Listen to it again.

[rwtpkc50]

Man has no power to save nor deliver himself from sin. Phil.2:13 (I think I'm correct) says," For it is God that works in us Both the will and to do of His good pleasure".Being made whole is a life long process. Our stories will be different as it relates to healing and deliverance. Satan desire that we all hate ourselves and God because of the ugliness of sin and it effects.The issue at hand just happens to be homosexuality. Sex in any form other than marriage between husband and wife is SIN

[gcmwatch]

@rwtpkc50 amen rwt that it exactly! Homosexuality is just a manifestation from the root of sin. Sin produces many manifestations of lust and all lead to death. BUT the gift of God is life in Jesus Christ. The problems are MANY, the solution is ONE.

[shieldsff]

According to the CDC, men who have sex with men are diagnosed with HIV at a rate that is "44 times that of other men and more than 40 times that of women."

Type "CDC Analysis Provides New Look at Disproportionate Impact of HIV and Syphilis Among U.S. Gay and Bisexual Men" into a search engine and you will find the report.

[wearbat13]

what about the people that pray to him night after night asking him to help them overcome the problem?..i prayed for 4 years every night and had little help.the one time he did help it lasted 7 days and i did not have feelings for the opposite sex but i also did not have feeling for the same sex. i am really starting to think about giving up and i am really tired of being let down by god.

[AltDPT13]

"I don't recommend the church, I recommend Jesus." I love it.

[N0L0ngerBlind]

If you WANT to be delivered from homosexuality, you can be delivered. Once you except the truth about it, the truth will make you free. I am yet another living witness. All glory to GOD.

[bllkbody]

Ok I didn't say that my experience with molestation made me gay. So I will ask you the question again that you have not answered. And I'll make this the only question so you won't get distracted. Why was I so easily submissive to this act oppose to my brothers rejecting it. Keep in mind I'm only 4 years old at the time.

[bllkbody]

By the way on one of your videos you said " god delivered me that night" according to what I was taught, the word deliver refers to a completed task. I'm quoting you on this. So you're telling me that you didn't have that attraction toward the same sex ever since that night? If not then you were never gay? At least not full blown. No pun intended.

[bllkbody]

You didn't answer my question. How was i so easily submissive to this act opposed to my brothers rejecting it. And I completely disagree with you about how the past doesn't shape the future. I. E. The old testament/ the new testament.

[gcmwatch]

@bllkbody Maybe you missed it but I did answer. I didnt say the past doesnt "shape" your future, I said its not powerful enough to disable it. There's a difference is shape and disable. Yes, God delivered me April 12, 1990. THAT night. And I hope youre reading my responses to you and not looking for some gotchas. Deliverance is the begininng of change, not the end of it. You might consider getting my book where I talk in detail about me, deliverance and the whole 9

[bllkbody]

Just to give u a background on me. I am a victim of child molestation. I believe that it first happened when I was 3 or 4. Now I also have younger brothers and a younger sister. The molester went after all of us but only succeded with 2 of us. My younger brothers rejected but my sister and I didn't. Care to explain this?

[gcmwatch]

@bllkbody I was sexually molested at age 13. But I dont believe it caused homosexuality. I also didnt grow up with a father in the home, but it didnt cause it either. Having said that I deeply empathize with you. I wouldnt even begin to explain because God doesnt allow us to see all or to know all. The experiences of our lives are both the same and as varied as we are individuals. My major point is that our pasts are not powerful enuff to disable our future with God.

[bllkbody]

So why didn't god change me overnight like you said he did for you. Or better why didn't god change me period. The blind man recieved a miracle.

[gcmwatch]

@bllkbody My brother it didnt happen overnight but it began in a moment. Change is a seed when planted must be watered, cultivated and protected till maturity. Change is also a partnership between you and God. He provides the power to change, you provide the willingness and endurance. Together it produces an end result that you can give God glory for. Sexuality is complex. It impacts identity, emotions, relational, sexual and more. So "yes" to God begins the process to wholeness.

[bllkbody]

I'm sorry Pastor Foster but I am one of those nonbelievers. I just find it hard to believe that if you can just change the way you feel about someone. When i was a young kid ( someqhere between 5-8) i too asked god to change my attraction towards men. I am now 29 and I am still attracted to men. So you are telling me that god loves you more than he loves me?

[gcmwatch]

@bllkbody Its your choice to believe or not believe. Thank God he gives us that choice. Just know that all choices based on error will have devastating consequences after death.

The issue isnt about who God loves more (or less), but who loves HIM more...enough to deny yourself and follow him.

[christopherturner19]

Praise the Lord. Hello there man of God. I just want you to know that your testmony has really blessed me. I am a young man who God has delieved from the homosexuality life going on 2 years now. I heard of other people but I really haven't seen anyone. But I just want you to know I thank God for just been great and a loving God.

[gcmwatch]

God bless you Christopher. When I first came out of homosexuality 20 years ago, I was in the same spot. I hadnt heard of anyone who was testifying to deliverance. I hope that my life, work and witness will inspire you to stay faithful to God.

[christopherturner19]

Yes, it has. Because at first I really thought that i was the only one but i learned that was the devil tring to get me to go back in the same mess. Do you have vedio on you tube with your whole testmony on it. Or is it in the book that the Lord told you to write.

[sjwagner28]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS VIDEO. Thank you Pastor Foster! God bless you!

[gcmwatch]

youre very welcome sjwagner. From my heart to yours.

[MrTransgeneration]

obviously anyone who has an issue with being gay isn't really gay or you too busy worrying about other people's opinion instead of God's, who created you to be who you are

[gcmwatch]

What a silly germination. Your thinking hasnt progressed past that of a 4 year old.

It doesnt even qualify as bad logic.

[gcmwatch]

too bad mrtrans that you cant express yourself without a bunch of profane words. More evidence of severe immaturity. Goodbye.

[dustysilverwings]

Having attractions for the same sex is not fun to deal with! If you've never had those attractions then it's hard to comprehend what "we" are dealing with(it's alot like being torn into two halves). I don't think it's something that "stinks" to God, however I believe it is something that God wants us to come to Him about in order to "fix", just like any issue that is "ungodly". Please practice compassion for others no matter how messed up or sinful their issues seem.

[Singingfighter]

Thank You!!! Most of the "Christains" who speak about homosexuality being an abomination don't even know what its like to have same sex feeling and they usually arent that educated on the matter. I just wich people had a better explaination than just the Bible. I mean if i went up to them with the Korean and told them they were worshiping the wrong God then they wouldn't even listen to me!!! The Bible alone just isnt enough for me anymore. You know?

[VICTOYA]

AMEN BRO!!

[Texas903G]

Homosexuality stinks to GOD its a terrible abomination it is a fairy tail that people push an imagination and a manifestation of the perverted human mind AMEN.

[hebrewjisrael]

Pastor foster i dont believe in Christianity but you are correct and I hope you keep pressing on!!!! Homosexuality is a Sin! God does not make people gay. Homosexuality is a deception of the devil. You have come out of great sin and I respect you for being strong enough to negate the pleasures of the flesh. Walk in the spirit!!!

[barmasony3]

DL Foster you have a big problem.

[gcmwatch]

And it is....?

[HAPPYDOGSUZ]

Yes! Our God Is Able!

Because Of A Totally Surrendered and Submitted Life To Jesus Christ....

I Too Walked Away From 15 Years Of Homosexuality And Many Other Sins That Held Me Captive! Thank You Jesus!

[hebrewjisrael]

God bless you for overcoming your sins!

[noneofyob1zz]

What no institute, psycho therapist, or any other person can do, only GOD can

He can deliver any one from such life styles, addictions, &/or any devastating situation.

[Kennethtamara]

Hadnt seen this video until I checked your MySpace joint. Love it!

And love that you're not soft stepping on the issue.

[gcmwatch]

God bless you Ken. God gets the praise...

[opinionatorX]

Thank you bro Foster! I follow the articles on GCM WATCH. May Yahweh continue to bless and guide you.

[gcmwatch]

Thank Opx! Preciate the love and support in Jesus name!

[LordGodAll]

Keep doing the will of God, don't allow the voice of the enemy discourage you. Ppl need to hear that there's nothing to hard for GOD! NOTHING!!!

[Darkbison7]

A being is not all powerful, if it lacks the ability to create an obstacle that it cannot surpass.

Saving the children of Darfur from rape, starvation, and murder---is WELL out of God's league.

Next time you pray for something in your own life, stop--and pray for somebody else instead. Every time. From now on.

However,

If you trust God's plan and that he knows all that you need, then you need not be a backseat driver by praying to him.

[Qu1ckend]

God is all powerful. Sometimes we question that because we can not see God's divine purpose and plan for our life and this world. But to trust in God and to have faith means that we submit our thoughts, feelings and desires to him. We (take up our cross and) we follow him.

Yes there are things we can do now and God through his word commands us to love one another, feed one another and support one another. Above all things we should promote love.

[Darkbison7]

A being is not all powerful if it cannot create an obstacle that it cannot surpass. Lacking even 'one' power negates the title of having 'all' power.

If you truly believe that God knows everything, then you believe that he had a choice to have a world where people only fall in love based on reproduction...and the choice to create a world where people fall in love based on the person.

You tell me which scenario He chose--if you believe in a 'Divine Plan'.

[Darkbison7]

This. Is. Nonsense.

Black pastors make a lot of money by peddling the notion that a person can do more than just 'suppress' their sexuality.

It only encourages our valuable gay black brothers, to try to fit in with the black community---by having sex with black females.

You contribute to the DL aspect of the Black community, and for that you should be ashamed.

Its sad that our black brothers look to you for answers, and you get them to lie to themselves AND their God.

[Qu1ckend]

Freedom from homosexuality is a reality. I lived the lifestyle for all it was and was set free two years ago. Pastor Foster is not telling gay identifying black men to sleep with women he is asking them to turn away from the sin of homosexual acts. If it is in God's plan for you then to have a heterosexual relationship then it is. God will not hold any good thing from us, so I know he has anything good thing our heart desire set aside for us.

Grace and Peace.

[Darkbison7]

Suppressing one half of bisexuality is not the same as having no attraction whatsoever. I know that religion requires a tremendous amount of 'doublethink' but this is ridiculous.

If it is in God's plan for people to fall in love for more than reproductive organs, then who are your pastors to warp 'his plan'?

His premise is that black men should either only chase vagina, or die alone. Its ludicrous.

[Qu1ckend]

Darkbison7-First I want to say I appreciate you and where you are coming from. I have been listening to Pastor DL Foster preach through his online ministry for a little while now, correct me if I am wrong, but I have never once understood his premise to be that a black man should either chase vagina or die alone. I know that you speaking metaphorically there but he only states that the bible holds up a standard against homosexuality and views it as sin. He says we should seek God first -----

[Qu1ckend]

and that all good things shall be added unto us then. God has set clear standards for us to follow through his word. Coming out of homosexuality requires faith and lots of it.

And yes we are to deny our flesh daily in order to walk in the spirit of God. That means any thought, behavior or emotion which is not of God we are to cast it down. Why can we do this with some things the bible calls sin but not all???

[Qu1ckend]

God is calling his people to have radical faith and minds. He wants us to trust that he can do all things. He can not take us to a new level if we do not believe in him to take us to that level. That is why so many of us are trapped living below our means. The devil loves this because as long as we exsist in ignorance or as long as we are knowing disobediant to Gods word, he does not have to fight against us.

[Darkbison7]

Replace the word 'God' with Xenu, and reread everything that you have said. You are hanging on the every word of a man who has selected the easiest of targets to rally support for 'treatment'.

He knows that the Bible is inconsistent and vague about homosexuality. Leviticus cannot be used unless it is used in full. Letters in Romans etc are not words of God.

Do you truly believe that God was not aware that people would fall in love for reasons beyond genitalia? Deep down, you know.

[Qu1ckend]

Glad you responded. I only rally to support Pastor Foster because I know what he is saying first hand because it is my testimony as well. God delivered me from same sex attractions through a personal relationship with him (God). Leviticus should be used in full. If you are referring to the laws in there. Read Acts 15 (I believe) to see why we do not follow all the laws but some.

[Qu1ckend]

You can fall in love for reasons outside of genitalia. But God has set a standard on for sexual relationships. Leviticus is supported by other books in the bible like Acts (15) when the gentiles recieved the holy spirit leading to the discussion about whether or not they had to follow the law.

To believe the Bible means we believe it in it's totality. We can not have it our way with the bible. I will take all of this, some of that and hold the judgement on homosexuality.

[Darkbison7]

I've read the entire Bible, took years, but I did it. It is not completely true.  Don't take my word for it. As a Christian, you should read the entire Bible for yourself through your own eyes. You will find that you have only been given a filtered version through clergy through your whole life.

Things don't add up. From age of Earth, to Dinosaurs, to Eve having Adam's exact DNA via 'rib cloning'.

To the fact that God knew all the stories of the Bible BEFORE they happened. Even Genesis...

[Qu1ckend]

Okay, well we have reasoned together and we can agree to disagree. I love you and will be in prayer for you. Take care.

[Darkbison7]

I wont 'pray' for you, as that is contrary to both secular 'and' Christian logic. But I will certainly hope that your reach a broad understanding about the issue, even while still being a theist.

[Qu1ckend]

Nehemiah 1:6

Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned.

I was not going to return a comment because we clearly do not agree. Buy I defiantly do not see how you can say praying for others is contrary to christain logic.

[Qu1ckend]

I do not have to reach a broad understanding on the issue. I have a relationship with God and I trust in his word. If you do the same which I am sure you do then we can continue to love each other as God commands us to do.

[Darkbison7]

As was the case when racists said that God separated the races for a reason, and they should never mix.

By not trying to reach a broad understanding, you take pride in having a narrow understanding. That is fine, but please do not try to force others to abide by conveniently selected church rules.

God knew people would love each other for reasons beyond procreation. Otherwise you must say that he didnt know everything, and couldnt stop what he didnt want to exist.

[Qu1ckend]

This situation is far different from racism because this is referenced in the bible where racism is not. Your understanding is taking on your personal and societal views on homosexuality. You are not taking the one viewpoint which will be the only one that counts which is that of God. Yes God knew that people would fall away from the standards he set and that is why he gives us the oppurtunity to repent and call on his name. I have never tried to force anything on anyone. I simply shared-

[Qu1ckend]

what the word of God has said about homosexuality. I am not here to judge anyone. We will all stand before Jesus one day and at that point we will be judged. You will have the oppurtunity to argue all your points with Jesus. I am only here to share my testimony and if God delivered me which he did, Why is that so hard to digest? There is no argument between us. I love you just as God does. And if you are a Christian then you should love me the same.

[Darkbison7]

Mormons believed that we'd stand before Jesus, God, and the founder of Mormonism.

Jewish people believe that eating pork is wrong.

Christ said for all men to sell all of their possessions and give money to the poor, if they are to get into heaven.

We can't just pick and choose which parts of the Bible to obey, that conveniently ask that homosexuals either 'never have sex' or 'jump into bed with women they dont love'.

[Qu1ckend]

As I said I am only here to share my testimony with you. You can take it or leave it. It sounds like you want to live it which is perfectly fine. We do all have free will. Grace and Peace to you my brother. As I said before I love you and take care.

[Darkbison7]

He already knows who ends up in heaven and hell. There is no test, if God knows every definite outcome. One cannot stray from what he made sure would definitely happen.

[lisalizapop]

yes it must have been very hard for you

keep up the good work

[Wordlover777]

Pastor Foster I am so proud of you. You are constantly be a light to those who desire to know that there is a way out of the darkness of homosexuality.

[BLKSMOKE12]

I want to thank you my brother for your wonderful testimony and i agree with what you said. I too walked away from this lifestyle after seeing that it leads to death...Proverbs 16:25. I must be honest after even now 10 years being out of this way of life i still have times when i am attracted to men,and i hate that. I refuse to let the devil lead me to my grave like this. GOD is good and all powerful and i am still praying for a full/complete deliverence from this evil..pray for me please.

[Darkbison7]

Its not homosexuality that leads to death, it is promiscuity. Heterosexuals can be promiscuous too. That is what leads to disease, heartache, and death.

Find one man that you love for more than sex, and settle down with him.

Relationships and love are not just about procreative ability.

Otherwise, God would punish sterile Christians if they ever got married--since they cannot reproduce.

[Tinyone5000]

AMEN!! May you continually be richly blessed!!

What happened on April 1990 to make you change?
