Healing Mismatched Sexuality

SUMMARY: Sexuality is a powerful force that can be creative or destructive. Satan knows this and will try to corrupt it to damage society. When societies experiment with sexuality outside of God's boundaries, it destabilizes everything else, including the family, government, and values. Society can become unbalanced when masculinity or femininity gains too much preponderance. The Church can be a place where gender and sexual identity issues can be processed according to gospel values. By embodying healed masculinity and femininity, the Church can offer a valid alternative to society.

Without the sound advice of the Word of God, sexuality leaves its fence like a wild steed that for the moment rebels, kicks the fence that contains it, and runs off, destroying everything around it. When man steps out of the safety net of God's Word, he inevitably leaves a heap of rubble behind him. One of the first things that the devil tries to damage and corrupt is the sexuality of man and woman, their masculine and feminine identity, as we see in this time.

Satan knows that sexuality plays a central role in the life of a man or a woman. Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, declared that human sexuality is the driving force of society. It possesses incredible power. It causes wars, and it also inspires poems; it is an incredibly creative force, and also a destructive one. It is a divine energy, but it can also turn demonic.
