The purpose of this study is to investigate how spiritual healing affects change in homosexual inclinations and to search for directions on Christian counseling related to homosexuality.
For this, research was done through theoretical examination of homosexuality and spiritual healing, cases in which homosexuality was overcome through spiritual healing, and interviews with people who do counseling in actual clinical sites.
Research results show that the Holy Spirit affected change in the realization of sin, belief in healing, a new heart, love, and action, and that spiritual healing could fundamentally change homosexual inclinations.
Also, in counseling with homosexuals, faith of both the counselor and client in the Holy Spirit is needed; and it was concluded that constant interest and support from the counselor is very important.
Following this, the author advises a re-examination of defeating standpoints and supportive healing from a counselor possessing specialized knowledge in homosexuality with the Holy Spirit as a main body.
Moreover, honest education about homosexuality for the church, general people, in addition to homosexuals, and the development of conditions in which homosexuals can freely worship are needed.
