Excerpts from Florence Hubbs’ testimony on the PFOX website: … “In Feb 1993, Karen & I were to celebrate our 9th year together. I know I had great plans for the day. She suddenly said ‘that perhaps our relationship was wrong in God’s eyes’. I told her ‘I could fight a man or a woman, but I was certainly not going to fight God!’ I had already tried that and was not going to go back to the empty life of the bars. She moved out in March. I was deeply crushed, and through my tears ask God if he really cared. Are you real? God started bringing people into my life to show me his Love. Also the joy of being a friend with other women without sexual attractions.”

… “The journey is difficult, same sex attractions are messy, and even a lengthy process. The request of the Church family is to love our neighbor as our self. God placed some wonderful women in my path to guide me by being my friend.”

“There is not one prayer or scripture that will simply break the bondage of homosexuality. When the disciples asked Jesus why they couldn’t drive out certain spirits, Jesus said” these kinds of spirits can only come out by fasting & prayer!” The challenge of believers in Christ is to introduce the person to Jesus, and let Jesus clean them. We often want to be the judge instead of letting God be the judge. When you tell a person “God hates the sin, not the sinner,” that individual might be stuck on the worldly definition of ‘my’ identity and only hear God hates you. Sin is sin at the foot of the cross, the Bible talks more about adultery, lying, gossip, and slander than anything else.”

“Without God everything is permissible! Through Jesus Christ change is possible!”
