WHAT DOES GOD THINK ABOUT SODOMY?
God gave man and woman a mandate:
“As for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out over the earth and multiply on it.“ (Genesis 9:7)
This mandate is to be fruitful. Intimate relationships based on sodomy do not fulfill this divine command! God desires life! This is why He equipped women with all that is necessary, including a sexuality that enables them to receive life—that is, the sperm from their husband to conceive.
In sodomy, there is no life but death. It is a celebration of the one who brings death, for nothing results from such a relationship except unease and certain sterility, as this is not the path God chose for His people! Proof of this is that certain non-Christian groups engage exclusively in this practice because the lifestyle they have chosen leaves them no other possibility. They cannot procreate naturally.
Sometimes they wish to have children, but because their sexual practices do not align with God’s design in this area, they are unable to bring forth life. Thus, it is clear that there is a way to live one’s intimacy that aligns with the divine mandate of growth and multiplication.
In general, when such situations occur, one member of the couple is not a born-again Christian; otherwise, their heart would convict them. However, if this happens while both partners are Christians, it is vital to seek God wholeheartedly to restore divine order in this area.
1. How to reverse this situation?
a. Pray fervently at midnight to overturn the situation.
b. Undertake a fast, consuming all foods except animal flesh, for at least three months to break this stronghold.
2. Managing a sexually insatiable partner
In some couples, one partner may have an intense sexual appetite, sometimes wanting intercourse multiple times a day over several consecutive days. If the other partner shares the same sexual temperament, this poses no issue. However, when the partners have differing sexual temperaments, the less enthusiastic partner suffers, as intimacy becomes a forced act rather than a mutual desire.
3. Lack of interest in sexual intimacy within marriage
Another common issue in couples is disinterest in sexual relations, often caused by:
- Verbal or physical abuse by one partner;
- Physical brutality (assault);
- Sexual aggression;
- Rape (within the marriage or before it).
These situations often lead to blockages and aversion, resulting in rejection of sexual intimacy. In cases of rape, the wound is deep and requires a healing process. God can intervene in this area as well.
During a seminar I held on this topic, I witnessed God instantly heal two women who had suffered for years due to rape. This demonstrates that God is concerned about this issue and desires freedom for the victims. Do not hesitate to seek information about seminars we organize or those in your church on this subject to find healing.
In some cases, medical intervention may also be necessary and should not be neglected. Physicians and other specialists are available to help, provided by God, the Creator of all things, including medical professionals.
Remember, God is sovereign in choosing the method of healing!
- If He chooses to work through a medical specialist, He will do so.
- If He uses an anointed servant, He will do so.
- If He answers a prayer after months or years, He will do so!
Ultimately, the choice of the method belongs to Him.
Testimony:
A friend of mine had a severely ill daughter. Only through six years of persistent prayer was she able to save her daughter’s life. This is why a Christian must trust God, regardless of the method He chooses to operate.
