Humble Servant of All
I thank you in advance for your prayer support.
I have been going through a lot of persecution from many people here in the Bahamas. These people are a part of the church world,they are religious but not converted.
I am overwhelmed. I have been kicked out of one place after the other. I have been harassed by the police, they have come out in large groups for me,surrounded me & threatened to shoot me if I showed one sign of resistance. They often get away with unexplained shootings here. I have not been able to find a job in three years. Everything I try anything there is so much opposition from so many people here in the Bahamas ,it is unnerving. I have gone to the church for help over fifty & I've been refused every time. I've gone to the police complaints unit (amnesty & the justice dpt. of america has questioned there usefulness),the lady who was helping me was transferred & I was told the officers were talked to. My faith that is grounded in the belief that holiness is the proof that Christ has actually come to live in your heart has been questioned by psychologist. It's not that you can not hear this from others ,it's just that I'm in trouble with influential people.
This is a place where you can make anything happen if you have the influence to do so. Endemic corruption characterizes this nation. I am always in some trouble, 'where I'm I going to live now','how I'm I going to get help to live', 'where is the rent coming from'??
There are so many people stirring up more people against me ,it is insane to hear the stories about me repeated everywhere I go every single day. I have been celibate for over 20 years - I'm 38. I have never had a same sex relationship & it is an absolute fact out there that I'm a lesbian.
I do not know how bad things are going to get. I went into a small pharmacy yesterday & three young men followed me in just to see what I was going in there for. This is common & they are talking about me right in front of me ,it's almost like those stars with paparazzi everywhere they go.
It never fails but if I rent someplace ,as I do now, I'm going to hear the neighbors & old unfriendly acquaintances talk about having been inside my room. I will always meet something damaged, now it is all of my bags. I can't use any.
I have had my hair damaged by beauticians on purpose & have to constantly find a new place to go get that taken care of. There is already a celebration started by people who think I will soon be kicked out of this room I'm renting. That old talk is back that was going on when I was on the street homeless the last time looking for food - men saying I will have to be a prostitute to survive & they will enjoy me. Men threatened other men in front of me for giving me money to get something to eat.
With all of these memories & things getting worse. I need your prayers.
Pray according to lk.18:1,7-8 & rom.15:30,31
Pray for my deliverance. Pray that God will stop put an end to the money & influence that the people who are pushing this have.
Pray that God will vindicate me.
8 So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: All that see them shall wag the head.
9 And all men shall fear; And they shall declare the work of God, And shall wisely consider of his doing.
Pray that I will not end up on the streets again or be forced to give up living on my own. I prayed for a place just like this & God really answered my prayers in detail. Pray that this mob will not be able to take this away from me.
Pray that God will give me peace so I do not panic & lose my witness or go into despair. I've been yelling at people lately. I need peace to be able to hear from God.
Pray that these religious people will see by Gods' intervention that He is with me & that they will not be able to deny it.
Psalm 86:17
Show me a sign of [Your evident] goodwill and favor, that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame, because You, Lord, [will show Your approval of me when You] help and comfort me.
