Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you so much for visiting my blog talk page. My name is Selena Mosley and I am the Host of Equipping For change Ministries, Nuggets For Deliverance.As one who once struggled with homosexual desire and lived for several years as a lesbian attending several glbt churches, I now desire to help others who are looking for a way out of homosexuality to know that there is an alternative and that freedom is possible. Equipping For Change Ministries is created with the mission to help God's people connect to resources needed for change; Equipping God's people to walk in healing and wholeness. Although Equipping For Change Ministries is a ministry geared to assisting Christians to overcome their struggle with same sex attraction, the principles for deliverance can be used in walking in victory over any habitual sin, so please know that you are welcome to listen in no matter if you struggle with homosexuality or not. Popular culture says, that if you have homosexual desires that you should accept that you are gay, lesbian or bisexual. They say that there is no possibility of change. If one does claim change or that they have been set free from homosexuality, it is said that they are in denial of their true self for it is impossible to change your "sexual orientation" and therefore it is impossible to be free from homosexuality. Jesus said, "with men it is impossible but not with God; for with God ALL things are possible." Mark 10:27 So please join me each week as we dig nuggets from God's Word to help us experience what man calls impossible. For it is truly possible to have and experience freedom from homosexuality.

Identifying Addictive Thinking
Posted: 08 Sep 2009 12:54 AM PDT
I have talked about addictive thinking in the past and surprise, surprise... here I go again.
The reason for me bringing up addictive thinking so often? The reason is that I still see that old addictive thinking trying to creep it's way back in from time to time.
So if addictive thinking never goes away... what's the point of all this? Well, even though it hasn't entirely disappeared from my brain, I am getting pretty good at identifying addictive thinking.
Over the years I have developed some pretty bad behaviors that went unchecked for a long time due to my constant drug use. There were things like never completing anything, missing school/work for no reason other than I didn't want to go, and the biggest of them all... rationalizing all of my bad behavior so that it didn't seem so bad.
I would like to tell you that because of all my hard work I have alleviated all of my bad behaviors and am living the perfect life. But... that's not realistic.
What I have become so much better at is identifying my bad behaviors before they manifest themselves. This is what I refer to as addictive thinking. Those thoughts in your head that when they are really examined seem to be what used to feed your addiction.
Even more than just being able to identify addictive thinking, I actually get a chuckle out of some of the stuff that goes on in my head. I find that my addictive thinking can be really sneaky. I find myself saying "ya almost got me" a lot and kind of snickering at myself.
So what gets me through this? I still strive to do the best that I can each and every day. This cuts down on the feeling of things lingering over my head. It also cuts down on dreading the unknown of the future.
