Before I became a Christian, I was bi-sexual. There is a common held belief in my ethnic community, the black community, that all black men are strong and overly aggressive. As a boy, I believed  I was not good enough to date a women in the black community so eventually I become deeply frustrated with not measuring up to these expectations.

In 1984, when I was 16 years old my feelings of not measuring up and wanting acceptance from women were driving me to look to men for sex. I wanted to know if I would feel accepted, so I decided to have sex with a man. Initially, I didn’t enjoy being touched by a man. But I did feel unafraid and accepted by him. I discovered that when I was with a gay man, I didn’t worry about pretending to be someone else. I was drawn in by this feeling of acceptance and for the next 7 years, from 1984 to 1991, I continued being with men.

 

               “…Satan himself masquerades as angel of light. “2 Conrinthians 11:14 (NI Version)

There is that old saying, “if you play with fire you get burned.” Homosexuality is a demonic spirit. If a person allows this demonic spirit in their life for too long, this spirit will jump into the person’s soul and take control. This is what happened to me. In 1991, a change took place within me. When I started law school in Florida, I noticed for the first time that I desired men. For the next 6 years , I enjoyed having sex with men. My behavior worsened including going to gay whore strolls, gay strip clubs and adult book stores to meet and have encounters with men. My actions covered the entire gamut of a homosexual lifestyle and believe me when I say I met men from all walks of life, including wives and children. During this 6 years period there were times when I would be with only a women or only a man or even with both. My sin was so deep and promiscuous that is only by the grace of God that I did not get AIDS or HIV or any other sexually transmitted diseases.

 

When God saved me in December 1997, he took away my desires for men and I have not been with a man ever since. It has not been easy. As a child of God, I am still tempted with sex. The devil tempts me with women at least 99% of the time. Because of the fact that I was so promiscuous with men during those last 6 years before I became a Christian, it amazes me that I am not tempted with men more often. When I work out at the gym and see nude men, I am not bothered by what I see.

 

I UNDERSTAND AND THE SHAME SOME PEOPLE FEEL

 

Loved ME ENOUGH TO STOP ME, SAVE   ME AND CLEANSE MY LIFE. And now I firmly believe that Jesus wants me to testify blatantly about my experience and His work in my life. There are people who want Jesus to deliver them and there are people who may not know Jesus but they want to get out of this life style if they can. These people need to hear my testimony. It took me 7 years before I could gather up the courage to publicly speak about this experience. When I finally opened up about it, under the Lord’s guidance and protection, I had already been saved for 8 years

 

 

HOMOSEXUALITY CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE

Don’t be fooled by person’s family environment, actions or even participation in a Christian church. I grew up in a Christian home. I was raised in traditional Bible thumping, hand clapping, foot stomping, speaking in tongues Apostolic Church. I had strong moral values instilled within me. I was never into many of the negative activities that most children and young adults in my neighborhood were involved in such as: illegal drugs or rebellion against authority. I went immediately from high school to college and continued directly on to law school. After I finished law school I worked diligently maintaining a conservative and straight and narrow image for my family, friends and church community. I have always been attracted to women and yet it still happened to me.
