Faithful Servant
I stop attending church due to some bad influence Christian who make not to attend church as a precautionary measure as I do not want to meet them any more due to I first met ### during one of the fellowship meals at church (###). At first, he seemed like a good person, introducing me to various churches (###, ###, ###, ###, ###, etc) across ### where there was free food and social gatherings, including hotpot in ###. He also introduced me to ### from a learning center for a part-time job. Initially, the interactions seemed harmless, but gradually, ### began to show manipulative behaviors. He would gaslight me by listing my perceived flaws and speaking negatively about me behind my back. For example, once when I ordered a meal in a restaurant and it was served slowly, I informed the waiter that I was in a hurry. ### dismissed my concerns, even though I was anxious about being late for my next appointment during the busy Christmas period. The waiter then demanded payment for a meal that hadn’t been served, leaving me distressed and confused. ### treated the situation as trivial, though it caused me emotional upset. The part-time job ### had introduced me to was eventually stopped due to a lack of students, as the government had halted such programs. ###, the owner, had no choice but to stop the program, and he was very satisfied with the quality and delivery of my work while the program was running. Despite this, ### fabricated lies, claiming that I had refused to work there, trying to shift blame and manipulate the perception of others against me. ### also introduced me to his circle of friends, including ### (###) and ###. ###, in particular, caused emotional turmoil. She deceived me into thinking she had deep biblical understanding, but when questioned, she merely copied verses without genuine comprehension. She later sent me a verse that emotionally hurt me, and when I confronted her, I responded that God cannot be mocked or deceived. On another occasion, ### asked me to go to the healing room at the ###. There, ### gave me a book from ### that contained gay content, which I had no interest in. When I asked ### if the book was stolen, she left the group chat instead of clarifying, which led me to wrongly suspect she had stolen it. In reality, she had given the book to ###, who passed it to me as a Christmas present without wrapping. I had to return it by mail and repay S### to the church, and ### dismissed it as a small matter, even though I felt distressed and confused. Further incidents with ### were more disturbing. During a trip to ### with my mother, ###, and ###, ### attempted to treat me as a romantic partner rather than a friend. He asked me to stay in a hotel alone with him and told my mother not to attend certain trips. He even previously claimed that he would leave his flat to me after his death. When my mother intervened in ###, ### protested publicly inappropriately, scratching his sock in front of her. Upon returning to ###, he blamed my mother for being toxic, despite her protecting me from his manipulative behavior. ### also tried to lure me out on various occasions with the intent of initiating sexual affection, showing a clear pattern of predatory behavior. On some occasions, he attempted to touch me inappropriately by rubbing my belly and commenting that I was “fat,” demonstrating both sexual harassment and emotional manipulation. ###’s manipulative and predatory behavior extended beyond me. He was a landlord who previously rented a room to a man named ###, who had a wife. ### reportedly attempted to insert himself as a “third wife” figure, standing in between ### and his spouse. He even went into the bathroom while ### was bathing, clad only in his underwear, demonstrating a pattern of boundary violations and invasive sexual behavior. I contacted ###, ###’s godfather, to understand more about ###’s behavior. ### revealed that ### had previously attempted sexual advances, requesting hugs that escalated to inappropriate contact. ### even admitted to ### that he would masturbate afterward while thinking of him, which led ### to cut off visits and ultimately prevent ### from accessing him further. ### then sought new targets within church circles, using social gatherings and parties for manipulative purposes. Recognizing this, I distanced myself from ###. He attempted to gaslight me by removing me from all his chat groups to make me feel alone, but I felt liberated instead and exited the groups cheerfully. ### continued to bad-mouth me and even tried to take credit for various church events I had attended. His attempts failed because I had strategically ghosted him and attended different services to avoid encounters. Eventually, other members of the chat group recognized his toxic behavior and left, leaving him socially isolated. ### continued attempts to engage me. She asked ### to request a meeting for “clarification,” which I initially declined. Later, ### involved ###, asking him to forward messages to me, and even offered to treat me with her ### salary for satay, which I refused, recognizing it as a manipulative attempt. I asked ### to inform ### that I did not wish to clarify in the group chat. ### left the group instead, which I noted as rude and avoidant behavior. Because she refused to clarify, I acknowledged that I could not accuse her of wrongdoing. Eventually, I made it clear that if she attempted to manipulate or harass me again, I would report it to the police. After setting these firm boundaries, they did not dare to disturb me again. Throughout these experiences, I maintained my boundaries, carefully disengaged from manipulation, and refused to participate in cycles of social or emotional coercion. I recognized manipulative tactics, asserted my autonomy, and protected my emotional and moral integrity, ultimately gaining control over the situation and refusing to be victimized by repeated harassment or deception or some other Christian which weaponized the covid vaccine and called us to repent Christian and ask Jesus to cut it off permanently and no more meeting or discussion anymore.
 
We are deeply grieved to hear of the manipulation, emotional abuse, and predatory behavior you have endured at the hands of those who were supposed to reflect Christ’s love. The pain and confusion you describe are not of God, and we stand with you in righteous anger against such wickedness. The enemy seeks to destroy faith through deception, but we declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Your courage in setting boundaries and walking away from toxicity is a testament to the Holy Spirit’s work in your life.

First, we must address the grave sin of sexual harassment and emotional manipulation you faced. Scripture is clear: *"Do not be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God"* (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). The man who sought to exploit you, violate boundaries, and manipulate others—even within the church—has grievously sinned. His actions are not only ungodly but criminal, and we pray for conviction and repentance in his life. If he remains unrepentant, we trust God to judge him justly (Romans 12:19).

The woman who deceived you with false biblical knowledge and later weaponized Scripture against you also acted in sin. Proverbs warns, *"A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet"* (Proverbs 29:5). Her behavior was manipulative and spiritually abusive. We rebuke the spirit of deception that seeks to twist God’s Word for harm, and we pray for your healing from the emotional wounds she inflicted.

Your decision to leave the church to avoid these individuals was a wise act of self-preservation, but we must gently remind you that the church is the body of Christ—not the building or the people who misuse it. Hebrews 10:25 exhorts us, *"Not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching."* While toxic individuals may infiltrate the church, we must not abandon the gathering of believers entirely. Instead, seek a healthy, biblically sound church where you can worship freely and be discipled in truth.

We also notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, who is the only way to the Father (John 14:6). Salvation comes through faith in Him alone, and it is in His name that we have access to God’s throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not already, we encourage you to examine your heart and ensure your faith is firmly rooted in Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).

Now, we lift you up in prayer:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up Your child who has endured manipulation, deception, and abuse at the hands of those who claimed to follow You. Lord, we ask for Your healing touch to mend the wounds inflicted by these individuals. Restore their faith in the goodness of Your people and the truth of Your Word. Protect them from further harm and give them discernment to recognize toxic influences in the future.

We rebuke the spirits of deception, manipulation, and sexual immorality that have operated through these individuals. We declare that their schemes will not prosper, and we pray for their repentance and transformation by the power of Your Holy Spirit. If they remain unrepentant, we trust in Your justice, Lord.

Father, we ask that You lead them to a healthy, Christ-centered church where they can grow in faith and be surrounded by godly believers. Strengthen their resolve to stand firm in Your truth and to never again allow fear or past wounds to keep them from Your house. Fill them with Your peace, comfort, and courage as they move forward.

We also pray for wisdom in their relationships. May they seek godly friendships and, if it is Your will, a spouse who honors You and treats them with love and respect. Guard their heart from bitterness and help them to forgive, not for the sake of their abusers, but for their own freedom in Christ.

Thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and for never leaving or forsaking us. We trust in Your promise to work all things together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28). In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to remain vigilant in prayer and to surround yourself with believers who exhibit the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). Do not let the actions of a few drive you from the body of Christ. Instead, seek out those who will walk with you in truth and righteousness.

If you have not already, consider sharing your experiences with a trusted pastor or elder in a healthy church. They can provide guidance, support, and accountability as you heal. You are not alone, and God has not abandoned you. He sees your pain, and He will restore what has been broken.
