Is the devil gay
There is absolutely no reference in scripture of homosexuality being caused by demon possession. In her autobiography Undivided , Vicky Beeching writes her account of asking for prayer at a Christian camp because she was gay. Being gay has nothing to do with demons and only false teachers would make a claim that can’t be supported by scripture!.
But, given that there may still be exceptions to this, we thought it would be useful to pose this question — are attempts at exorcism ever an appropriate response to same-sex attraction? Satan is, therefore, suggesting that God is restrictive rather than generous. In the early 90s, Ash Blackwood (who goes publicly by his psuedonym, Ash Astaroth) was an openly gay teen looking for community in his tiny Ohio suburb—and he found it when he stumbled upon.
Yes, deception is an important component to a homosexual orientation; those who experience same-sex attraction unwittingly believe a number of lies about life, about themselves, about others, and often about God. And where sin and deception are, there is often a demonic presence or element.
A group of people were brought together to pray for her. It is worth saying that I believe in the reality of the devil. Her story is far from unique. Wonderfully, the Gospels record Jesus triumphing — good and evil are not equal forces. As you look at his work, Satan can be totally inconsistent.
In , the World Health Organisation (WHO) removed gender identity issues from its global manual of mental and behavioural disorders. Let her go.

Satan comes alongside Joshua, the high priest to accuse him. We bind the demons of homosexuality. As I see the way he works in the Bible, there are two lines of attack that are worth noting. Several key passages from the Bible are interpreted as prohibitions against same-sex.
Gay sex is described as the “creation of the devil” that goes “against God’s law” and is an “abomination”. Our visible world can only be explained by invisible forces. Matthew But as well as the deceiver, he is also the accuser. Release your grip on her life.

There are parallels here with issues of sexuality. She wanted to live for Jesus and to be rid of her same-sex attractions, so went to the front of a meeting to seek support.
And yet, we also see so much evil around us — there are unseen forces, who largely work behind the scenes to drag the world away from its Creator and his good plan. Mark and oppose Jesus. God responds by affirming Joshua, giving him clean clothes to wear and assuring him that his sin has been removed Zechariah That dynamic continues today.
By the seventeenth century, theologians and demonologists were already stressing the demons' active engagement in homosexual relations during the witches' sab bath. In Revelation , Satan is described as the accuser of the brothers and sisters. Traditional demons of Christianity, such as Satan, Beelzebub, and Asmodeus are almost invariably assigned a male gender in religious and occultist texts.
This is true also for succubi, who despite taking a female shape to copulate with men, are often thought of as male nonetheless. [3]. In the coming of Jesus, the invisible becomes visible — God walks around on the earth. Zechariah 3 is a pastorally vital but relatively unknown passage.
