Mya Huff

New author Mya Huff, an ex-lesbian, hopes that her book not only shuts down the confusion, but also mends broken hearts, minds and souls with the gospel. Read an interview she did with GCM Watch below.

Q: Your book, Homosexuality: Dispel the Myth, Mend the Broken Pieces, enters the scene at a time where there is widespread belief that changing from homosexuality is “dangerous and impossible.” Did that affect what you decided to write?

A: In some ways, yes. That’s one of the myths that needs to dispelled. The Bible says, “Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us” (Eph. 3:20, KJV). If God is able to do what cannot be fathomed by men, why can’t a person be free from homosexuality? That individual is only asking for what their minds are able to process. God can do so much more than setting an individual free. Deliverance is not a challenge to God, by any means. To suggest something is impossible for God challenges who God says He is.

Q: All lies are destructive, but which myth or lie stands out to you as the most destructive one if left unanswered?

A: One of the biggest myths this book deals with is the limits society tries to place on God. There is a lie that a person can’t be totally free from homosexuality. What the world calls a cure, we call deliverance. To suggest what God can’t do should raise red flags to the masses, but people are falling for it. You never allow anyone to tell you what God can’t do. Is He not more than able?

Q: Amen—He is more than able! Your book isn’t some 90-page quick read. This is a fairly comprehensive rebuttal to a lot of the attendant lies floating around out there.

A: Absolutely. The myths dispelled in this book go beyond the issue of homosexuality. The book is encouraging all of us to reject the lies the enemy has tried to tell the human race. The first thing Satan tried to distort within humanity was our identity. Understanding our identity dictates the perception we have of ourselves and God. Also it’s not enough sometimes to say to an individual, “Just stop what you’re doing” or, “You just need to change.” Sometimes on Sunday morning, the pastor may spend 30 minutes talking on homosexuality, but there are people who need more. That is what this book is for. For broken individuals, broken families, addictions, and those who have been suffering for years with heartbreak. When you see someone struggling with any type of destructive lifestyle, it can be a sign of brokenness. Homosexuality: Dispel the Myth, Mend the Broken Pieces is a book about encouragement, redemption and hope. If anyone is struggling with the lifestyle in secret or openly, in their thoughts or just internally, this book is for them. No one needs to feel condemned. Truth sometimes manifests conviction. Conviction is not condemnation; it is grace. Grace is spiritual rehab, and no matter how long any of us have been saved, we are all checked in.

Q: So for someone who’s gracefully convicted and comes out of lesbianism, when can they expect to get to a place of stability?

A: Stability sometimes comes with a made-up mind. If a person is trying to lose weight, they make one good decision one day at a time. I know for me, my stability came when I was faced with what I once was, and my response was flipped, so to speak. God had to change my mindset and turn it right side up. When my thought process begin to change, it was like seeing the manifestation of the work God was doing in me. When my mind was stable, my actions followed. Deliverance can be a process. So no one should be discouraged if it doesn’t happen overnight. My deliverance did not happen overnight. I had to wait and keep walking. Make up in your mind that tomorrow you will wake up, pick up your cross and keep following Christ. Don’t put so much focus on the what; you are simply dying to your flesh as all men are called to do. We all have to die to something daily.

Q: Some ex-homosexuals are afraid to tell their story for fear of rejection and even retribution. What made you cross that line and put your story out there?

A: To be honest, it wasn’t my choice. This book started out as something different than what it turned out to be. Initially, this book was dealing strictly with heartbreak, in an effort to help others get through those tough seasons. There was nothing about me, homosexuality or my past in the manuscript. When I started out, there was one night around 3 a.m. I had a writer’s block, so I got off the computer. I prayed and asked God, “What do I say next?” And He answered clear as day and said, “Tell the story.” I put the covers over my head and acted like I didn’t hear what He just said; He kept talking. I laugh when I think about that now. My reaction was that way because I somewhat understood what God was asking of me.
