“Father God, he’s got AIDS. His mother just told me. I’m heartsick – split apart. Your Word clearly condemns his lifestyle. I can’t buy the rationalization that you can be Christian and gay at the same time. What now? How do I help him when my heart condemns the space he’s in? I’m split down the middle. What’s this you’re saying, Lord? “For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.” Praise God, You just jerked me around. In the name of Jesus, I bind back the condemnation, fear, anger, revulsion, lovelessness of Satan’s Insidious attack. I pray that this man not only be delivered but healed: “Back off, Satan – this one’s not going to be yours! I pray he be washed and cleansed in the blood of Jesus, redeemed and healed; ‘a brand plucked out of the fire.'” In Jesus’ name, I pray! ”
