Lonnie Frisbee’s Prophecy for the LGBTQ Community Echoed by Shawn Bolz

In recent years, the issues surrounding the LGBTQ community have sparked debates and created divisions within society, including the Christian community.

Shawn Bolz recently discussed one of the last prophecies given by hippie-street preacher Lonnie Frisbee, a key figure in the Jesus movement revival. The Frisbee prophecy has brought attention to the potential for a worldwide move of God within the LGBTQ community. Lonnie, who himself experienced same-sex attraction due to past trauma, declared that this community could become the catalyst for a significant spiritual revival.

Citing his talk with one of Frisbee’s disciples, Joe Austin, before she died, Bolz shares how Frisbee prophesied there would be a revival in the LGBTQ community.

“We’re hippies, we’re the unreachable,” Bolz quoted Austin recalling what Frisbee said. “The gay community would be the next great worldwide move of God catalyst. They feel unreachable by most Christians who disagree with their culture and their lifestyle now, but God’s going to raise up revivalists and salvation and a move of the Holy Spirit from the gay community.”

As Christians, it is crucial to remember Scripture including Romans 13:8-10, which reminds believers of their debt to love one another, as love fulfills the law. While not condoning behaviors contrary to the Bible, Christians are called to love their neighbors as themselves, extending Christ-like kindness and compassion to all individuals.

However, navigating the complexities of the LGBTQ conversation requires wisdom and discernment. It is essential to differentiate between supporting a movement and showing love to individuals within that community. Christians can stand against ideologies that may run contrary to God’s Word while still treating LGBTQ individuals with respect and kindness.

Pride Month often stirs emotions and triggers debates, but Christians are called to rise above the noise and respond with love. It is possible to disagree with certain lifestyle choices while acknowledging dignity, intrinsic value and worth in each person, recognizing that Jesus died for all humanity regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Instead of fear or self-righteousness, Christians can embrace their LGBTQ neighbors, family members, friends, coworkers and acquaintances with love.

Prayer becomes a powerful tool to seek God’s heart in navigating this sensitive issue, asking for wisdom and discernment in how to love well.

“We can stand against a movement that is taking away freedom,” explains Bolz, “but we have to see the people. We cannot just see the alphabet letters; we have to see the individual. We have to start to pray for the revival that God has promised in this community and your love and your kindness matter.”

Christianity encourages believers to follow the example set by Jesus. The woman at the well, Zacchaeus the tax collector and countless others experienced Jesus’ love before their transformation took place. Similarly, Christians can extend grace and compassion to LGBTQ individuals without compromising their own convictions. It is important to note that embracing love and compassion does not necessitate agreement or endorsement of all behaviors or ideologies. This delicate balance requires prayerful consideration and a genuine desire to understand the experiences and struggles faced by LGBTQ individuals.

In a polarized world, Christians have the opportunity to be peacemakers and bridge builders, refusing to view LGBTQ individuals as adversaries. By displaying kindness, listening with empathy and engaging in meaningful dialogue, Christians can create an atmosphere of understanding and respect.

“During Pride month… [in] love on we actually look at real people for who they really are,” implores Bolz. Christians can be agents of transformation by demonstrating Christ’s love in action, actively seeking ways to show kindness to LGBTQ individuals. By doing so, Christians can break down walls, challenge stereotypes and create an environment where Jesus’ love conquers all things.

In the end, it is the love of God that has the power to change hearts, heal wounds and build bridges. Let us as Christians strive to love well and be known for our compassion. {eoa}
