In this series about LGBT Doctrines we’ve been reviewing different doctrines surrounding the LGBT+ ideas. We have recently been discussing Side B “Gay Christianity” (Celibate) and contrasting the common doctrines against what scripture says. Today we will be talking about sanctification, it’s intersection with holiness, righteousness, and our salvation. What is sanctification? How does it work in the repentant individual who desires to leave behind the LGBT identity and lifestyle? Does God transform hearts and minds? To what degree? Is it just about our behaviors? Is grace there to prevent us from sinning? These and more discussed today.

Life as a transgender male for three decades until she found Christ! My name is Luca Jo Groppoli. I am a graduate of Christ For the Nations Bible College, where I was also ordained. I am Associate Director with Agape First Ministries. It is my mission to go, make disciples of the nations, to tell the world, that Jesus can, and does in fact transform people, even people like me, who lived as a transgender male for over 3 decades. Let’s make Jesus famous together, by connecting the lost to the heart of the Father.

When we talk about joy, we have to go back to the beginning. God created us in His own image. He designed us so that EVERY part of us would grow in JOY.

Immanuel Prayer offers a process that is very useful to help people connect to the Lord in a prayer ministry session. It is a process of connection personally and interactively with the Lord, and removing barriers and hindrances to an intimate, interactive lifestyle of connection with Him. The goal is to build and deepen a securely attached relationship with the Lord, one that increases our capacity to stay connected to Him even in difficult life situations or painful experiences.

This is the history of how God has worked in my life.

I went to the Capitol last Friday with my dear sister, Beth Beebe. It was very chaotic outside the chamber! There were Christians praying and singing and the other side was chanting and saying like high school cheers trying to drown out the songs of those singing Amazing Grace and hymns.

I have 9 years of experiences with True Love Outreach where I go to where the LGBTQ are and show love and seek to share Christ with them. I have stepped on many landmines and blown up! So I hope you can learn from me and not make the same mistakes I have!

Discipleship matters to the Christian faith. To be transformed into the image of Jesus requires discipleship in the faith. God will transform those who remain a disciple of Jesus.
