Sun.’s Devo - The Root of Homosexuality

Read: 1 Chron. 15:1-16:36, Romans 1:18-32, Ps. 10:1-15, Pr. 19:6-7 After the last disaster of trying to bring the ark to Jerusalem, David decided to read the manual. This time he did it according to God’s plan. David appointed sanctified priests to carry the ark upon their shoulders. He brought it back with much pomp and circumstance; he sang his first psalm to the people. In his song he praised God and admonished the people to seek the Lord and obey his Word. Michal, the daughter or Saul watched from her window and despised David for making such a big deal about God and His ark. We could quote Romans 1:18 over her: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness. Romans goes on to explain that every person is without excuse because God has revealed the godhead to every man through His nature. Because man distorted the truth about God and worshipped things of this earth above Him, He gave them over to the lusts of their flesh. They hated all of God’s laws, even natural laws of nature, like the relationship between a man and a woman. This is where homosexuality is rooted - in rebellion to God. It was a seed that has spread through bloodlines and is rampant in our world today. It is like a cancer and yes, you can be born with it. But, you can also be delivered of it. We are born with certain disease-carrying DNA that has been passed down from our ancestors. The propensity to certain sins or curses are passed down too. But, we can be redeemed from these curses with a simple proclamation and prayer of repentance for ourselves and ancestors. We can have God’s DNA if we choose. Lord, thank you that You are in us and You are stronger than any curse or sin. Deliver us and make us clean.
