Fear is a spirit that comes before a person is raped and sexually abused by a family member. Tamar begged and pleaded with her stepbrother Amnon, but he refused to listen.
After Tamar was raped, she lived a desolate life. Most victims are forced to live with the consequences because they are not able to talk about it with others including family members. THE LORD IS RAISING HIS VOICE AGAINST INCEST.
Tamar’s innocence and virginity is taken away by her half brother.
The grooming of Tamar. 2 Samuel 13:1-5 The abuser always plans their attack before it happens. Don’t be fooled by the nice behavior.
Sexual Assault and Abuse Awareness Month is in April and the color is teal. This form of violence is kept silent because of shame and fear. Victims are in the congregation and one WORD FROM THE LORD would make a difference, but it is not discussed in most churches. This is a place where THE LORD’S HEART SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALL, but to victims, in many cases, it is not.
God created everyone with a plan and a purpose, but events and people can try to hinder the progress of your destiny if you allow them. You must remember that you are important and no one and nothing can change that.
The Cycle of Violence is a cycle that can end with the death of a victim and the warning signs are often ignored. It is important to know about this deadly cycle and its consequences.
Domestic Violence and Teen Dating Violence are two of the most crippling forms of abuse. These victims can be found in the congregation and it is time for pastors to do something about it. Until it is a major issue for them, the victims will be hesitant to speak out.
GOD’S WORD DOES NOT CONDONE VERBAL ABUSE. HE IS LOVE AND ANYONE WHO ABUSES SOMEONE DOES NOT HAVE THE LORD’S LOVE IN THEIR HEARTS. THE LORD WANTS HIS WORD TO BE USED FOR CHANGE AND HE IS CALLING OUT THE CHURCH LEADERS WHO HAVE NOT TAUGHT ON THIS SUBJECT BECAUSE THEY FEEL THAT IT IS A PERSONAL ISSUE.
Verbal abuse is a common occurrence because people are reckless when they speak. THE LORD SAID what proceeds out of the mouth comes from the heart. This is true for verbal abuse.
GOD IS NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND PASTORS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE VICTIMS IN THEIR CONGREGATIONS WHO ARE WAITING ON THEM TO DISCUSS THE CONSEQUENCES BASED ON THE WORD OF GOD. NO ONE SHOULD LIVE THIS TORMENTED LIFE.
GOD DOES NOT AGREE WITH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, BUT THE CHURCH IS COMPOSED OF VICTIMS AND ABUSERS WHO ATTEND SERVICES AT CHURCHES WHOSE PASTOR CHOOSES TO ALLOW THIS SIN TO REMAIN UNTOUCHED AND THE VICTIM IN REPEATED BONDAGE. THE LORD IS REVEALING SO THAT HEALING CAN TAKE PLACE 🙏
It is important to manage your household before you serve in the church and outside of the church. Eli is an example of a parent who suffered the consequences along with his sons for not taking this seriously. Don’t make the same mistake.
THE LORD WANTS YOU TO HAVE PEACE IN YOUR HOME. HE KNOWS THAT IF THERE IS CHAOS, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SERVE HIM. ELI MADE A BIG MISTAKE BU NOT OBEYING THE LORD. YOU CAN LOOK AT ELI AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT NOT TO DO WHEN RAISING CHILDREN. BE BLESSED.
GOD is clear about HIS EXPECTATIONS for parents. When children are not chastised for disobedience, there are consequences and Eli (1 Samuel 2:27-34) had to face them along with his children. Train your children to do the right thing because GOD gave them to you.
GOD IS CONCERNED ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT TAKES PLACE IN YOUR LIFE. When your household is out of order, you need GOD’S guidance to fix whatever is messed up.
This is an update on what has been going for the past few months and an encouraging word for everyone.
GOD DOES NOT ACCEPT INCEST. It is a sin. It is wickedness. It is a crime. Sexual sin such as fornication, sex outside of marriage happens even when people have been abused. The consequences are major.
The shame and disgrace that victims have after being violated can destroy their lives, but THE LORD DOES NOT WANT ANYONE TO LIVE THIS WAY.
