Demon deliverance and transgendered kids

Recently, I have been watching a number of informative DVDs about deliverance from demonic influence in the life of a Christian from the ministry of the late Derek Prince.  Here are the ones that I have been watching:

It’s an interesting look at how God deals with issues like addictions and illness is people’s lives through deliverance.  It is Biblically based, so I encourage you to watch it through to the end, even if you don’t necessarily agree with [all of] it.

One video that I have recently been watching is a documentary about the topic of ‘transgendered’ kids, or what I would call gender confused children.  These are children who, despite being born in one sex, want to change their sex and be the opposite.  I found this video highly disturbing and what I see as being a demonic assault on children and God-determined sexuality, one the fundamental building block of a person’s identity.  In this video there are a number of children who were born one gender and wish to be of the other.  One ‘girl’ said that having a penis was grotesque to him.  What makes it worse is that the adults in their lives- especially their parents- have embraced and endorsed their sex transitions.  These children are both pre-pubescent and their parents are embracing their self-chosen emasculation.  Their parents even see the transitions as a “blessing”, and seem to have little discernment.  God made their children as boys, but they are fighting their God-determined design.  These children have little idea of what they are really doing to themselves, but their parents are enabling folly and self-destruction. 

For whatever reasons, these parents have not inducted their children into accepting their God-given gender.  Particular influences, demonic ones, seem to have been allowed to influence their children’s view of themselves.  Perhaps in reading this it may seem odd why I would choose to call this influence ‘demonic’.  But it stands to reason, why on earth would a child, of all things, want to change their God-given sex?  What voice in their head would prompt them to reject such a core part of themselves and seek to change their bodies?  The Bible says that the body is God’s temple.  Satan hates God and his temple and prowls around as a lion, seeking to devour, and what a better target than a child who wouldn’t know left from right who lives under parents who don’t know left from right? 

Interestingly, one family featured in the documentary the girl had grown up with a father who said that he always wanted a boy.  Was it any surprise that his girl decided to become a boy?  The power of words are tremendous.  Another family said there was a history of homosexuality and sexual brokenness in its lineage, so unsurprisingly, their boy wants to be a girl.

God has made these people according as the gender they were born in; in spite of their efforts to try to be otherwise, they will always have the image of their original gender, and I am certain that when they face God He will recognise them as He made them.  Can transgendered people come to healing in Christ?  They sure can, and they can even go back to living in their original sex (not without side effects).  Two people who have come out of transgenderism are ministry leaders Sy Rogers and Leslie Lung in Singapore.  God can do His work in redeeming people, but it is sad to see when children wish to cut their bodies up like that.
