Dear LGBT Community

Dear LGBT Community,

I do not hate you.  I love you so much that I was willing to die for you.  My father sent me not to save the godly or the righteous; I came for the ungodly and sinners.  My father is holy, perfect, and good.  I am His Word.  I am perfectly wise for I created everything including you.  I created you in my image and with a hole in your heart that can only be filled by the Spirit that proceeds forth from both my father and myself.  My Spirit’s name is Holy.  I did not come to condemn you but to redeem you and give you of my Spirit to help you.

When I was here before, some people brought a woman to me who had been caught in the act of adultery.  They wanted to stone her for her sin.  I told the crowd there that the person with no sin should cast the first stone, and one by one they all dropped their stones.  They knew they had all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.  I asked the woman where her accusers were, and she said, “They are all gone, Lord.”  I told her then, “Neither do I accuse you; now go and sin no more.”  This is what I ask of you.  I know that you have inherited from the first man, Adam, a sin nature, and it is strong.  But I am stronger.  I am a great conqueror, and I am here to help you.

Think not that because you are bent toward sin that you cannot master it.  You can, but not without me.  Sin lies within each human being, but I have given you more than flesh and instinct.  I have given you a spirit that desires fellowship and oneness with its maker.  This is how I have made you.  I came to pay the price for your sin on the cross.  I ask you now to nail it there and come into my light.  The Bible is a light and a path for all mankind.  I spoke it by my Spirit to people in order to reveal myself to mankind.  I want you to know me.  My Word is not dead but very much alive just like myself.

I came as a servant before.  I am coming the next time as conqueror and king.  I want you to be on my side when that happens.  I gave the rainbow as a promise that I would never again flood the earth with water. It is a symbol of that covenant that you can still see today as a reminder that there is a way of salvation for mankind if he is willing to enter into fellowship with me by faith. I asked Noah to build an ark, and he did.  He was a man of great faith.  He believed me when I told him that I was going to send a flood as a baptism to cleanse the earth of its unrighteousness in that age.  He and his family were the only ones who believed.

I would have welcomed any and all on the ark in that day that I sent the flood as I am doing now in this time.  I welcome you all into my presence, but it is a conditional invitation.  Lay down your life for me.  Die to your sins and live in relationship with me.  Believe my word and know that I am coming again.  Will you be for me or against me when I come?  Will you shrink from me in fear or shame, or will you rejoice and be glad when finally you see my face?  The road I ask you to take with me is a hard one but it is not without reward.  There is a heaven waiting for you, a paradise that is filled with good things.  The time you have right now on the earth is very short.  But I will give you an eternity here if you choose to follow me.

There are those to whom I will give white robes of fine linen to wear as they ride behind me on white horses back to the earth at the end of the age.  They are those who are humble and meek now, and they will inherit the earth at that time.  Will you throw off your pride and humble yourself before me?  If you do so now, I will exalt you when the proper time comes.  Cast your cares upon me, for I care for you.  Your enemy, the devil, wants to destroy you.  Resist him and draw near to me, and I will protect you from his evil scheming against you.  He is a liar and a murderer, but I come to you with truth and eternal life. Come to me now and be at peace.  I am rest for your weary souls.  I am truth and life, and I love you.

Jesus
