My mind is the battle field where the [original] power is. These homosexual thoughts and desired come from my mind originally. The devil CAN get in the mind. However, I’m constantly holding (or God is holding) the Sword of the Spirit at the entrance of my mind and heart. (See Guard Your Heart study.) These thoughts will appear because of our carnal nature and the world we live in. We must not entertain the thoughts because it will eventually lead further in – to heart and body. (John 16:33.)

My mind makes the decisions from the core/start. My heart contains the drive/passion, which sets it on fire, to go after certain actions my mind wants to fulfill. My body fulfills these desires. Today I desired to fulfill holding a woman at her sides, arousing the feminine dancing in me, progressing to the horizontal position. My mind thought that. My heart wants to follow the thoughts of my mind and wants them to be fulfilled by my body. It becomes a desire when it wants. It is easier to see that the heart follows physically, because it might be trained/fed to be more physically focused than it is spiritually focused. However, I indulge more into spiritual matters, guarding my heart with Truth, the Spirit of Life. The mind is the battle field and Satan will try to influence so many people on this because reasoning controls any other heart/passion or body function/action/doing. It might just be as the old saying goes, “mind over matter.”

Do not let the devil have a foothold (Ephesians 4:27) because once the devil has laid his foot in your mind, his next foothold will be in your heart, and soon enough in your flesh. Once the mind is won over by evil, Satan goes after a stronger sensation, to win it over.

So, once my mind is influenced to the evil side, the attacker will next shoot for the heart or body. Heart – starting to feel passionately towards the same sex. Body – indulging in the sinful nature, which for me would probably be pursuing females and having physical relations with them. For women and their sexual struggles, it might be heart (emotional) then body (physical). For men’s sexual struggles, it might be vice versa – arousing the body (physical) first then advancing to the heart (emotional) component.
