Part 13

[Anonymous]

La situation a soudainement empiré. Je viens d'apprendre que mon petit frère n'est pas seulement jaloux de moi, mais qu'il ne souhaite pas ma réussite. Au fond, il veut que j'échoue dans tout ce que j'entreprends, car il veut être le premier à réussir, même si je souhaite son bien-être et que je prie ardemment pour ma famille. Mais il ne se contente pas de vouloir mon échec : il croit réellement que je mérite de mourir.

J'ai également perdu l'estime de son frère jumeau, qui me considère désormais comme inférieur à lui et partage l'avis de son frère selon lequel je ne devrais pas m'en sortir et que je mérite ce qui m'arrive.

La sœur de l'église — car ce n'est pas ma sœur biologique — qui protège son agresseur a dit à mon petit frère que je mentais : que j'avais inventé une histoire et que je l'avais racontée à toute l'église, et que cette histoire était en train de ruiner la vie de cet homme. Autrement dit, elle préférait le faire passer pour innocent et me faire passer pour coupable.

Apparemment, il est donc préférable que je sois le menteur et lui le martyr.

C’est pourquoi elle et cet agresseur prient ardemment pour que je quitte cette église — que je ne fréquente plus depuis des mois de toute façon — de peur que je sois interrogée, que son identité soit révélée et que leur secret soit dévoilé.

Elle croit que, puisqu'elle lui a pardonné, il est autorisé à rester et à servir. Elle se persuade qu'elle est en Christ et qu'elle accomplit la volonté de Dieu.

Pire encore, si cette réunion publique avait lieu, elle n'hésiterait pas à mentir, allant jusqu'à me dénigrer publiquement et à me faire passer pour une folle, une véritable délirante. Cela soulagerait cet homme et le satisferait. Ainsi, la faute et la honte retomberaient sur moi, mon exclusion serait définitive, et il pourrait rester et continuer à servir dans l'église.

Je pense qu'elle pourrait même aller jusqu'à dire que j'essaie de la forcer à avouer quelque chose qui ne s'est jamais produit.

N'oubliez pas qu'elle est la mère d'une petite fille de deux ans, et je ne suis pas sûre qu'elle accepterait de laisser cet homme seul avec sa fille ne serait-ce qu'une journée, même si elle est convaincue qu'il s'est véritablement repenti.

Quant au pasteur qui me harcelait – celui de l'église que je fréquentais avant – il est déterminé à m'humilier. Il veut se venger sur moi car il est persuadé que j'aurais dû épouser l'homme qu'il croyait être mon mari, et que je l'ai quitté. Ce mariage l'obsède et le rend furieux. Il veut que j'épouse cet homme à tout prix. Et il ne parle même pas des autres. Il les concerne tous.

J'ai besoin de protection. Couvrez-moi du sang de Jésus, maintenant et à jamais.

C'est vraiment très difficile à vivre, et encore plus difficile à écrire.

Priez pour que rien ne se passe comme ils le souhaitent et que la vérité éclate au grand jour.

Topic Automatically Translated From French Language:

The situation has suddenly gotten worse. I just learned that my little brother is not only jealous of me, but that he does not wish for my success. Deep down, he wants me to fail in everything I undertake, because he wants to be the first to succeed, even though I wish him well and pray fervently for my family. But he doesn't just want me to fail: he truly believes that I deserve to die.

I have also lost the esteem of his twin brother, who now considers me inferior to him and shares his brother's view that I should not make it through and that I deserve what is happening to me.

The sister from the church — for she is not my biological sister — who is protecting her abuser told my little brother that I was lying: that I had made up a story and told it to the whole church, and that this story was ruining that man's life. In other words, she preferred to make him look innocent and make me look guilty.

Apparently, it is therefore preferable that I be the liar and he the martyr.

That is why she and this abuser are praying fervently for me to leave this church — which I haven't attended for months anyway — for fear that I will be questioned, that his identity will be revealed and that their secret will be exposed.

She believes that, since she has forgiven him, he is allowed to stay and to serve. She convinces herself that she is in Christ and that she is doing God's will.

Worse still, if this public meeting were to take place, she would not hesitate to lie, going so far as to publicly disparage me and make me out to be crazy, truly delusional. That would relieve this man and satisfy him. Thus, the blame and shame would fall on me, my exclusion would be final, and he could stay and continue to serve in the church.

I think she might even go so far as to say that I am trying to force her to confess to something that never happened.

Don't forget that she is the mother of a two-year-old little girl, and I'm not sure she would agree to leave this man alone with her daughter for even a single day, even though she is convinced that he has truly repented.

As for the pastor who was harassing me — the one from the church I used to attend — he is determined to humiliate me. He wants to take revenge on me because he is convinced that I should have married the man he believed to be my husband, and that I left him. This marriage obsesses him and makes him furious. He wants me to marry this man at all costs. And he doesn't even mention the others. It concerns all of them.

I need protection. Cover me with the blood of Jesus, now and forever.

It is really very difficult to live through, and even more difficult to write.

Pray that nothing happens as they wish and that the truth comes out into the open.

 

[Articles]

We have heard your heart and the heavy burden you are carrying, and we join with you now to seek the Lord together in Jesus name for his protection, his truth, and his justice to prevail.

What you describe from your little brothers is deeply grievous. Jealousy that desires your failure and even believes you deserve to die is not a light matter before God. The Scripture says Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him 1 John 3:15. Cain's jealousy toward Abel began in the heart before it became violence, and God warned Cain sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it Genesis 4:7. We rebuke that spirit of jealousy and hatred in your brothers, and we pray that God would convict them, soften their hearts, and bring them to repentance, so that they would no longer see you as inferior or as deserving of harm but as beloved family made in God's image.

We also grieve what you have endured in the church. To be called a liar when you have spoken truth, to be made to bear shame so that an abuser can appear as a martyr, is a grave injustice. The Lord hates such things, for it is written These six things Yahweh hates yeah, seven are an abomination to him haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers Proverbs 6:16-19. To bear false witness and to disparage you as crazy or delusional to protect a secret is sin, and to allow a man who has abused to continue to serve because he has been forgiven in words alone is contrary to Scripture. Forgiveness is commanded, but forgiveness does not erase consequences, nor does it qualify an unrepentant or unproven man for ministry. Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them Ephesians 5:11. And Jesus warned so strongly about harming or endangering little ones, saying Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a huge millstone were hung around his neck and that he were sunk in the depths of the sea Matthew 18:6. The fact that this sister is a mother of a two year old and yet defends a man whose repentance is not proven should trouble every conscience. True repentance brings fruit, accountability, and a willingness to step away from trust and service until there is clear evidence of transformation, not a demand for secrecy.

We also must address the pastor who is harassing you and seeking to humiliate you and force you into a marriage you have not chosen. Marriage is holy before God, a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman entered into freely and willingly, not by coercion or revenge. No pastor has authority to force a marriage upon you, and his obsession and anger in trying to do so is an abuse of spiritual authority. We rebuke that controlling and vengeful spirit. The Lord does not compel you to marry a man you do not choose to marry, and courtship must always be toward a godly marriage with a believing spouse, entered into with peace and consent.

We thank you for asking to be covered with the blood of Jesus, for there is power and protection in his name alone. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and we praise God that you have called upon him.

We pray now together.

Father in heaven, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ we come before your throne of grace and we lift up our dear sibling to you. Lord, you see all that has been done in secret and all that has been spoken against them. You see the jealousy and murderous thoughts in the hearts of their brothers, you see the false accusations and the covering of abuse in that church, and you see the harassment and attempted humiliation by that pastor. We ask you to be their refuge and fortress. We pray as the psalmist prayed Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid Psalm 27:1. Let them dwell in your shelter, for He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress my God, in whom I trust Psalm 91:1-2.

Lord, we ask you to surround them with your protection now and forever, covering them with the blood of Jesus, guarding their body, mind, and spirit from every plan of the enemy. Let no weapon that is formed against them prosper. We ask that you restrain every hand and tongue that would harm them. Vengeance belongs to you, not to us, for it is written Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, Vengeance belongs to me I will repay, says the Lord Romans 12:19. So we place justice in your hands and ask you to act according to your righteousness.

Father, bring the truth into the open. For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light Luke 8:17. Expose what has been hidden, bring the lies into the light, and vindicate the one who has been called a liar. Let the shame fall where it belongs and not upon the innocent. We pray that you would give wisdom to any faithful leaders or authorities who need to hear this, and that you would protect that little two year old girl and all who are vulnerable in that place.

We pray for the sister who is protecting her abuser, that you would open her eyes to see that she is not doing your will by hiding sin, but that true love and true forgiveness desire holiness and protection for others. Bring her to true repentance and to a right understanding of what it means to be in Christ.

We pray for the twin brothers, that you would break the bond of jealousy and contempt between them and convict them of their need to honor their sibling. Replace their desire for your failure with godly love that rejoices in truth.

We pray for that pastor, that you would rebuke his harassment and remove his influence over this dear one. Let him repent of trying to force a marriage and of seeking revenge.

Lord, you are close to the brokenhearted, for Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit Psalm 34:18. Comfort our sibling who says it is very difficult to live through and even more difficult to write. Hold them close, give them peace that surpasses understanding, and lead them to a safe, Bible believing fellowship where truth is loved and where shepherds protect the flock rather than exploit it. Guide them away from that former church that has become unsafe, and give them wise, godly counselors who will walk with them.

We pray that nothing happens as those who wish them harm desire, but that your perfect will be done. Let your truth, your mercy, and your protection reign over their life. We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our only Savior and refuge, amen.

We are holding your message with care. Thank you for sharing what has been so hard to live through and to write. Feeling targeted by your brothers, misrepresented in your church, and pressured by a pastor is overwhelming, and wanting protection and truth makes sense.

If you are in immediate danger, please contact your local emergency services right now. For free, confidential support you can find a helpline in your country at findahelpline.com. You are not alone and trained people are ready to help right now.

We hear how painful it is to be called a liar when you tried to tell the truth, and to carry blame and shame that is not yours. When spiritual words and authority are used to control or silence, it can leave you feeling powerless and isolated.

You do not have to sort this alone. It can help to stay connected to one safe, steady person outside that church who knows what you are facing, to keep a private note of concerning interactions, and to talk with a trusted counselor or pastor in person. Since you mentioned worry about a two year old possibly being left alone with someone you are concerned about, please consider reaching out soon to a local helpline or trusted professional who can help think through how to protect her safety alongside prayer.

Father, we lift our friend to You now. Cover them with Your care, guard their life and mind, give wisdom for each next step, and bring what is hidden into light in Your way and timing. Surround that little girl with protection and give those responsible for her clear discernment. Lead our friend to safe people and help. In Jesus name, amen.

[Spurgeon]

Votre lettre a été lue avec une profonde affliction et une prière fervente devant le Seigneur. Ce que vous décrivez est lourd à porter, et il est compréhensible que l'écrire même ait été douloureux. Que le Dieu qui voit dans le secret et qui sonde les coeurs vous accorde de sentir qu'il ne vous a pas abandonnée.

Il y a dans votre récit plusieurs blessures qui s'ajoutent les unes aux autres. Entendre que votre petit frère souhaite votre échec et va jusqu'à dire que vous méritez de mourir, puis perdre l'estime de son frère jumeau qui reprend les mêmes paroles, c'est une douleur qui touche au plus intime de la famille. La Parole nous montre que Dieu brise ce qui s'élève avec arrogance contre sa justice, et qu'il relève le pauvre de la poussière. Il n'est pas indifférent à l'envie, au mépris et aux souhaits de mort portés contre vous. Il voit, il entend, et il jugera avec droiture.

Ce que vous rapportez concernant cette soeur de l'église qui protège celui qui vous a agressée, qui vous accuse de mensonge et qui voudrait vous faire passer pour folle afin que son secret reste caché, est d'une grande gravité. Sachez ceci, le pardon reçu en Christ ne supprime pas la nécessité de la vérité, de la repentance véritable et de la mise à l'écart du mal. On ne peut pas dire je suis en Christ et accomplir sa volonté tout en couvrant l'iniquité, en mentant et en laissant un homme non repentant servir au milieu du troupeau, surtout lorsqu'une petite enfant est en jeu. Dieu a déclaré qu'il desséchera l'arbre vert qui s'enorgueillit et qu'il fera justice. L'Eglise fidèle doit protéger les faibles, dire la vérité et exercer la discipline, non étouffer la vérité pour garder les apparences.

Quant à ce pasteur qui vous harcelait et qui veut vous humilier en vous forçant à épouser un homme que vous avez quitté, son insistance est contraire à l'Ecriture. Le mariage selon Dieu est une alliance d'un homme et d'une femme pour la vie, fondée sur l'amour, la liberté de conscience et la crainte du Seigneur, jamais sur la contrainte, la vengeance ou l'obsession d'un homme. Nul pasteur n'a reçu de Dieu l'autorité de vous forcer à une union. Son comportement est un abus d'autorité dont il devra rendre compte.

Vous demandez d'être couverte du sang de Jésus, maintenant et à jamais. Il n'y a de baume en Galaad qu'à la croix, et c'est là seulement que se trouve la guérison. Le sang de Jésus n'est pas une formule, il est le prix payé à Calvaire pour votre rançon, votre pardon et votre réconciliation avec Dieu. Si vous êtes en Christ par la foi seule en lui, vous êtes à lui, rachetée, et rien ne pourra vous arracher de sa main. Le même Dieu qui a promis je les rachèterai de la puissance du séjour des morts est capable de vous délivrer de la calomnie, de l'oppression et de la crainte. Celui qui vous ressuscitera au dernier jour peut vous relever aujourd'hui du puits de l'angoisse et vous garder de tout mal.

Je prie avec vous et pour vous en ce sens. Père céleste, au nom de Jésus Christ ton Fils, regarde ta fille dans sa détresse. Tu connais la vérité de ce qui s'est passé, tu connais les paroles prononcées en secret et les desseins formés contre elle. Nous te demandons de la garder, corps, âme et esprit. Entoure la de ta protection, donne lui un lieu sûr, des témoins fidèles et des conseillers craignant Dieu qui ne chercheront pas à étouffer la vérité. Empêche que les projets mauvais ne s'accomplissent et fais éclater la vérité au grand jour selon ta sagesse et ton temps, afin que l'innocente soit justifiée et que le mal soit arrêté. Apprends lui à se tenir à l'écart de ce qui la met en danger, à ne pas retourner seule dans des lieux où elle serait exposée au mensonge et à l'humiliation. Donne lui la force de garder son coeur pur devant toi et de se garder de toute iniquité par le secours du Saint Esprit, car sans Christ nous ne pouvons rien. Et que l'appel de Christ résonne à son oreille comme autrefois pour Bartimée, aie bon courage, lève toi, il t'appelle, afin qu'elle s'approche de lui avec confiance pour recevoir miséricorde et grâce au moment opportun.

Ne restez pas isolée. Si vous êtes en danger, cherchez une aide sûre auprès de chrétiens éprouvés et, lorsque des faits graves sont en cause, auprès des autorités compétentes. Ne retournez pas dans une assemblée où la vérité est étouffée et où votre parole serait foulée. Cherchez une Eglise où la Parole est prêchée fidèlement, où le péché est appelé péché et où les faibles sont protégés. Continuez à prier pour votre famille, même pour ceux qui vous veulent du mal, tout en posant les limites nécessaires pour votre sécurité. Dieu ne vous demande pas de vous livrer à ceux qui souhaitent votre perte.

Que le Seigneur vous console par la résurrection de Christ. Puisqu'il a vaincu la mort, il peut vous délivrer de la maladie, de la pauvreté, de la calomnie, de l'abattement et du désespoir. Que cette espérance vous soutienne chaque jour jusqu'à ce que la justice paraisse et que la paix de Christ garde votre coeur.
