“Understanding is to Peace, as Wisdom is to Knowledge,” were the words spoken directly into my spirit from Wisdom the moment I stepped foot onto the campus of the University of the Kingdom of God, after two decades of proudly wearing gay-Christianity like the Purple Heart. If Mark Foley understood Her ageless admonition the former congressman might still be voting bills into law. Although, should the demystified, ex-politician ever decide to seek out the true culprit behind the recent chaos that has sent his world into a spiraling nosedive, he need look no further than the corrupt fruit that has fallen from his own family tree, according to The Bible.

By his own attorney’s admission, Foley is just one of countless people trapped in same-gender-attraction, who coexist in this world from within an unseen, yet dense fog of inner spiritual unrest. Whether closeted or not, many fear for their livelihoods, and in more than a few cases, even for their lives, feeling forced to conceal this particular weakness behind false disguises of approved cultural expression.

Same-Gender-Attraction (homosexuality) is nothing short of a generational curse, as identified in Scripture (Exodus 20: 5-6). It is a grossly debilitating spiritual stronghold that is passed along to children through the male, the Bible teaches. Indiscernible under a microscope, but when studied through spiritually prudent eyes, it amounts to fair compensation being visited upon our fathers, who, in their past have committed grievous sexual sins against God’s law, thereby proving their hatred toward God.

At its core, s-g-a is a disorder of the human spirit resembling the natural and hereditary disorder, Diabetes. This invisible force attaches itself to the seed of the male, traveling alongside it into the womb of the female then attaching itself to the spirit of her unborn child during pregnancy. It’s an illegal and corrupt implant having claw-like roots which grow like a tree, way, deep down into the inner recesses of its prey during early childhood development. As the child grows wiser so do seemingly natural desires toward others of his or her same gender.

For the person blinded from birth by its death grip, homosexuality can only be conquered with the Word of God, through Wisdom of God, using the Faith of God in an atmosphere where the Presence of God remains actively leaned upon. Not strictly adhering daily to this spiritual regimen is why so many ex-gay Christians denounce homosexuality only to backslide into ‘the life’ again. Without remaining relationally dependent upon the Wisdom of God for guidance s-g-a can be as difficult a challenge to control as Diabetes is for patients requiring daily insulin injections and just as blinding too, if gone unchecked.

Childhood molestation, rape, even improper parenting, virtually all the popular schools of thought experts use to easily explain away s-g-a represent serious emotionally catastrophic experiences. Albeit, these traumas (in most cases leading one into homosexuality) merely license this intangible force to go to work carrying out its ultimate assignment - to destroy God human creation.

The answer to s-g-a is not a confounding one for those intimately relational with God. Just humble yourself before God Almighty, deny yourself, seek His face, then pick up your cross and conduct your life each day as if you were Christ, to the best of your human ability, as Christ strengthens you to do so. This is the only formula, system, sets of principles, processes, keys, or steps leading the truly blood-bought from homosexuality – for good.

Since homosexuality is fundamentally a spiritual issue, the Church, “the salt of the earth,” must seek to understand homosexuality for the sake of all humanity, not just socially or politically, but spiritually. As long as Christian leadership remains apathetic about seeking to understand the diverse challenges of homosexuality, continuing to blindly classify it as “just another sin,” or the even more laughable, "ain't no such thing as a gay-Christian," all the earth will continue groaning from being force-fed rancid harvests sown from apathy, corruption, and ultimately, spiritual neglect.

“For whatever a man sows that and that only is what he will reap,” the Amplified Book of Galatians reads. Unfortunately, Mr. Foley just discovered this the hard way. Nevertheless, Christ’s grace is as sufficient for the former civil servant as it is for this humbled servant.

“Understanding is to Peace, as Wisdom is to Knowledge,” Wisdom eternally admonishes.
