When the shame barrier is down, the healing can begin," he says. Realizing this will break down the shame and help in healing. "He is a friend of the weak, a point of refuge in weakness, not an adversary. There is healing grace in trustworthy people.Īndrew explains that God is an advocate, not an enemy. One needs to find trustworthy confidants. Andrew also says that reality and the community of God are key to healing. The power to heal comes through the power of God, but it is a process. The Church wants tidiness in the healing process, but Andrew says that when someone is really trying to heal, things aren't tidy. It is not a pretty package people must face the issues with God. Instead of spouting off Scriptures, it is necessary for people to live and demonstrate practical solutions to problems - to face, deal with, and walk through issues. Dealing practically with issues of sexual and relational issues is important to the healing process. To this Andrew adds, "People need a face and the hope of healing - people need to be able to deal with sexual and relational issues honestly and openly." When people who are broken see that real people can go through the process of healing, it helps them heal, too. He says this comes through people getting healed of their sexual and relational brokenness, then in turn helping others. Andrew wants to equip people to take their places in the Body of Christ to help heal the broken. His new book, S trength in Weakness, addresses sexual and relational brokenness, and the process of healing through God's love and the power of the Cross. He was a practicing homosexual who was changed by the power of God's transforming love. Andrew Comiskey started his own journey of healing from sexual brokenness 25 years ago.
