I've been living with my aunt now for about a month. Since I'm online, I'm not going to by shy about saying I struggle at times with my sexuality. My aunt is very spiritual and I mean that in a way saying that the Spirit of God speaks to her. Every now in then, her and I would sit at the table and eat while talking about our day, people, and things going on in the world. But I would notice that every now and then, something that deals with homosexuality pops up. Either it's about someone else or even a story she heard. I think it's weird that this happens. Do you think she know's, or did the Spirit tell her. It can be very shameful living with someone that knows your deepest secret while you don't know that they know!
*Respectful answers please*

She may have the spirit of discernment...in which case, she probably knows.
She loves you...or you wouldn't be there.
I will speak this next section in love. It is not condemnation. There is no condemnation in Jesus Christ...
Just remember while you are struggling with your sexuality...you have a choice. You can choose to give into your lust. You can also choose not too. We all struggle with sin. God always (and I do mean always) gives us a way out.
Just because you are attracted to someone of the same sex doesn't mean you "have" to act on it. It is called, self-control. (Read Gal. 5 for more details).
I pray you will make the right choices.
Our decisions today...changes our lives forever.

I am going to go with paranoia on this one. Since you are thinking about it a lot every instance she has to bring it up (which is probably not any more often than anyone else who is a similarily spiritual) you think it is directed to you because you are sensitive towards it. have you ever learned a new word and then are amazed at how often people say it or you read it in a book. Or I have the number sequence 123 and you would be amazed at how many times I look at the clock and it is 1:23 or I am reading a book and I am on page 1:23. My point is that when something is red flaged in your sub- conscience, your conscience picks up on it much quicker and more frequently, you are fine. but apparently it is bothering you so I would think that you might want to start setting her up for a discussion so that she finds out from you and not by accident

(regarding some of these other posts)Whatever you do, absolutely NEVER listen to anyone that tries to tell you that repression is good or right. Repression is tension in the form of violence against the self.
It's hard to tell from what you've shared whether or not she knows. There are a lot of nonverbal indicators that the mind sometimes picks up on that give us a 'feeling' about what the person is trying to communicate- so who knows... but does it realy matter? It seems to me that your concern should be your discomfort not her perception. It is absolutely ok for you to be whoever you feel inclined to be, but if you don't allow this expression to fully blossom into manifestation in your life, you will constantly be engaged in a struggle for energy and for acceptance. Take your life into your own hands, and don't accept the societal/external influences and impositions like shame. You are meant to be free, in whatever form you choose! You are beautiful, remember!

hmm she might know but i wouldnt put faith in th eholy spirit telling her. some people get certain vibes about others, some people can read others in 1 manner easier then another. what i mean is, i can meet someone for a few seconds and tell whether or not i like them and why that is, some people have that kind of feeling to them like an aura. it might just be coincidence the same. you should talk with her instead of keep things hidden. not good to keep stuff bottled up inside of you.

If the Spirit of God is truely with her, than I would say that she should probably love you still just as much as she does now if you flat out told her. If it is a "struggle" as you say (implying, to me, that you may desire "help", though that may be a bad word for it), then she could probably help.

be honest and come clean. Is she going to give a spanking like you're a kid or kick you out of the house. NO. so just fess up. lying is bad for your spirit, especially since you love her and obviously respect her view of you.

It's possible that the Spirit of the Lord did or can reveal this to her. It's up to her as to how she reacts.
As for yourself, where do you stand as far as spirituality is concerned?

Romans 1: 18-32, Leviticus 20:13. Why is it that every homosexual things that nobody can tell. It is usually obvious to the rest of us before it is to you.

you should just open up to her and tell her, so you wont have to keep it a secret sometimes keeping a secret from someone like taht is hard ,dhe might jsut be waiting for you to tell her so just go on dont be afraid.

i think she doesn't know for sure but i think she senses something is wrong and she is just feeling the waters to see if you tell her but i don't think the spirit is telling her she just senses something .
