Can You Pray The **** Away?

Can you "Pray the Gay Away?" Whether or not it's possible to be gay and Christian at the same time is one of the most controversial debates in Christianity today....Two weeks ago investigative reporter Lisa Ling examines that idea  in a special report  on her "Our America" show broadcast on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN).

One part of the investigation focuses on Exodus, the group that claims they can cure homosexuality...While another focuses on The Naming Project which teaches kids that God loves them no matter what.

Now I suppose, if being gay was against one's religious beliefs, one could pray that they don't act upon it... As one might pray to be strong enough to resist any other urge that may be similarly against one's religious belief.....Such as adultery, pre-marital sex, whore mongering, drug use, etc....I don't believe you can  pray any ills away in your own strength.... But through a true committed relationship with Jesus Christ any and every thing is possible...Now we all have a sinful nature, everyone of us no matter what orientation we may find ourselves.....Rather it be homosexual or heterosexual God is calling us to forsake everything that we are and find our identity only in Him.....This call is not limited to just one group, but all of us....The path is hard but He is faithful....There are many who have already made a decision to leave their old lives behind and live for Christ. 

Check out this clip from religious talk show Atlanta Live, featuring Pastor Ja'Von Crockett, who lived as a gay man and drag queen named Mother Cavalli, before he decided that his homosexual "lifestyle" was an obstacle and won't to change.
