Part12

[Anonymous]

I learned that my little brother has been speaking badly about me behind my back and that he has taken the side of the sister who is covering for her abuser. Well, I don’t know what terms she spoke to him in. Last night, while I was praying and talking with a friend, the Holy Spirit told me not to take any phone calls. I found out that at 5 a.m. this morning, my little brother asked to have a family meeting. The Holy Spirit is telling me not to answer because whatever I say, he will prove me wrong and hurt my feelings with what he says. Apparently, he now sees me as a piece of garbage. Yes, you read that right. He and his wife are vilifying me, so it is obvious that they have already taken this sister’s side. Please note that all of this is happening without anyone having asked me anything. I pray that the Eternal One will open their eyes.

This sister, who is covering for the man who abused her and two other little girls during their childhood—because he repented and she forgave him—is supporting him. She wants and is praying insistently for me to be the one who leaves the ministry and never comes back, out of fear that I might speak up and reveal that she is the victim in question and that the information might come to light.

She is married and the mother of a little girl, and she attends this church with her family.

It is actually the pastor of this church who wants to organize the meeting with his entire congregation, which I want to prevent from happening because it will be neither fair nor impartial. NO MEETING, PERIOD.

On top of that, the pastor who harassed me for a year and a half at the church I attended before this one, so that I would marry the man he had seen me marrying twice in his dreams, thinks that I am: promiscuous, scatterbrained, stupid, and a liar.

Does simply refusing to marry the man he dreamed I would marry make me promiscuous? Does talking about it with a few people—maybe four in total—to see whether I was crazy or whether someone else was experiencing the same thing I was, because HE WOULD NOT STOP, make me scatterbrained, stupid, and a liar? Especially when he was the one who harassed me and systematically crossed every boundary I explicitly set?

This pastor, whom I had confided in about the fact that I had been sexually assaulted several times over the past few years and that I was suffering terribly because of it? I am still suffering from very severe PTSD today. I am trying to heal from it.

This pastor whom I had told that marriage was not an option for me because I had a sick mother, had been raising my little sister for years, was being housed by someone when I first met them, and had been homeless three times in less than a year.

This pastor who had seen that I was deeply depressed? Who knew that I had strong suicidal tendencies because I HAD TOLD HIM ABOUT MY SUFFERING, but who nevertheless continued to relentlessly pressure me? The pastor to whom I repeatedly said that I was not attracted to the man he had dreamed about—and that this man was easily 20 years older than me—and this pastor insisted that “God had given me a husband, but I had no discernment”?

Despite all of that, I am still being called a whore to this day, and even a homewrecker. But how can I be a whore if I am not having sex with anyone and I have suffered from these assaults to the point of being afraid of my own sexual desires? How can I be a homewrecker when I have never approached any man in these churches?

Their main argument is that I wear short skirts, so some women’s husbands might have seen me. But here is the backstory: the two times I was sexually assaulted, I was wearing church attire—a long dress—and the second assault happened on a Sunday, immediately after church. Both times, I was evangelizing.

It hurt me deeply, and whenever I think about it, I become so anxious that I can no longer breathe. I understood that the devil wanted me to stop, but I never stopped evangelizing.

And besides, whether I was wearing a church dress or not, even though I conducted myself with integrity, they did not respect me any more because of it. And yet, when it came time to intercede according to the heart of Jesus, to fast and pray for these churches, I did not hesitate to spend entire nights praying for them on the floor.

They say so many things about me and blame me for so many things, but do they actually pray for me? Or rather, AGAINST ME??

According to this pastor, he only spoke to me once and I unfairly damaged his reputation. But I believe he is angry because: 1— I did not do what he expected of me, and he perceived it as rebellion against his authority. 2— He is concerned about this man’s marriage, because he believes I am the woman meant for him and that I ran away from the church. Which 3— explains his unjustified anger about my leaving, something he has never been able to get over.

I believe he is like King Saul in the Bible, who really was chosen by God but, because of his character, turned away from God’s will.

His entire congregation is angry with me because I left without saying anything. I am the bad guy in the story.

I was warned that he was planning to put me down again, to attack my dignity at this wedding, and that the others would not want to leave me alone. He had already harassed me at a funeral, and now at a WEDDING?? I completely believe it because there is already a history of this happening.

The sister who protects her abuser and prays insistently for me to leave is demonizing me. She could physically come after me—the very person my little brother is waiting for, ready to confront me and “set the record straight.”

I don’t feel safe anywhere, and honestly, I am tired of being pursued, hated, and hurt.

An alarm has been going off in my mind for the past seven days, and things have gotten so intense that even the Holy Spirit Himself told me to set aside the tithes I had reserved for Him, use them, leave town for the weekend, and not come back until at least Monday.

I am currently in another city, several hours away from home, and from here I will go directly to the capital. Please cover me and the place I am going with the blood of Jesus. I need protection.

PRAY THAT NOTHING HAPPENS THE WAY THEY WANT IT TO AND THAT THE TRUTH WILL BE EXPOSED.

 

[Articles]

We have heard your cry and we join with you in prayer before our Father, seeking His will together in Jesus' name. We thank you for sharing this very heavy and painful burden with us, and we take seriously every part of what you have described. You are not garbage, you are not a whore or a homewrecker, and you are not what these false accusations say you are. You are seen, known, and deeply loved by God, and we grieve with you over the betrayal by your brother and his wife, the covering of abuse by your sister, and the spiritual abuse and harassment by these pastors.

We hear that you are suffering from severe PTSD after being sexually assaulted while serving the Lord in evangelism, and that you have carried suicidal thoughts and deep depression. We want you to know that your life is precious to God and to us. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit, Psalm 34:18. We thank God that you have kept evangelizing despite the enemy wanting to silence you, and that you have spent nights on the floor interceding for those who now hurt you. God has seen every tear and every prayer. When you feel you cannot breathe from anxiety, we pray that you will cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you, 1 Peter 5:7, and that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:7.

We also hear your discernment in not answering the phone and not attending a meeting that would not be fair or impartial. We affirm wisdom in stepping away when you are being vilified without being heard. We are to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves, Matthew 10:16, and there is a time to withdraw to seek safety and counsel. We pray for your protection as you are away from home and as you travel to the capital, that no weapon that is formed against you will prosper, Isaiah 54:17, and that He will give His angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways, Psalm 91:11. We cover you and the place you are going with the blood of Jesus, for we have redemption through His blood, Ephesians 1:7, and we ask the Lord to be your refuge and fortress, Psalm 91:1-2.

We must address what is not aligned with biblical principles in what you have described, not to rebuke you, but to expose the darkness around you. What your sister is doing in covering for the man who abused her and two other little girls is not biblical forgiveness. True forgiveness does not mean covering sin or leaving children at risk. We are to have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them, Ephesians 5:11. The Lord hates the harming of little ones, and He says it would be better for a millstone to be hung around the neck of one who causes a little one to stumble, Matthew 18:6. A repentant abuser bears fruit in keeping with repentance and submits to truth and accountability, not secrecy. Praying for you to leave the ministry to keep this hidden is not prayer according to the heart of Jesus, it is manipulation, and we rebuke that spirit.

We also rebuke the slander and gossip that has turned your brother and his wife against you without even asking you. A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city, Proverbs 18:19, and where there is slander, love is violated. God hates a lying tongue and one who sows discord among brothers, Proverbs 6:16-19. We pray that the Eternal One will indeed open their eyes, that they will stop judging by hearsay and seek the truth with humility.

We rebuke the spiritual abuse by the pastor who harassed you for a year and a half to marry a man twenty years older than you because of his dreams. Marriage in Scripture is a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman entered into freely, willingly, and in the Lord, not by coercion, pressure, or a leader's dream. Dreams are never to override the clear will of God and the conscience He has given you, nor the boundaries you explicitly set. To persist after you said no, while knowing you were depressed, suicidal, homeless, caring for your sick mother and raising your little sister, and to then label you promiscuous, scatterbrained, stupid, and a liar for refusing, is an abuse of pastoral authority. The Lord desires shepherds who feed the flock willingly, not lording it over those entrusted to them, 1 Peter 5:2-3. We also rebuke the lie that refusing a man makes you promiscuous or that speaking to a few trusted people to seek wisdom makes you a liar. You are not guilty of fornication, for you have not had sex with anyone, and fornication is indeed sin outside of marriage between a man and a woman, but you have walked with integrity and you are to be honored for that, not shamed.

We also rebuke the victim blaming regarding your clothing. You were assaulted while wearing a long church dress, evangelizing on a Sunday. The assault was the sin of the perpetrators, not yours, whether you wore a long dress or a short skirt. Modesty is a virtue we encourage from the heart, 1 Timothy 2:9, but no clothing choice justifies assault or harassment, and no man has the right to lust or to harm. The guilt lies entirely with those who assaulted you. We are so sorry that those who should have protected and prayed for you have instead blamed and shamed you.

We rebuke the plan to hold a meeting with an entire congregation to put you down. That is not the biblical pattern of Matthew 18:15-17, which is private, then with witnesses, then to the church, with fairness and with the goal of restoration and truth, not public humiliation. To harass you at a funeral and plan to do so at a wedding is cruelty, not shepherding.

We thank God that you know Jesus and His blood, for it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, and there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12. Jesus Himself said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, John 14:6. We cling to Him as our only hope for justice, healing, and protection.

We pray together now.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. We lift up our sister to Your throne of grace. You see her pain, her exhaustion, her PTSD, her anxiety that steals her breath, and the relentless pursuit she has endured. Lord, wrap her in Your arms, let her feel that she is Your beloved daughter, not garbage, not condemned, but washed and treasured. Heal her memories, calm her nervous system, and restore her sleep. Give her wise, safe, godly counsel and professional help that honors You and helps her heal.

Lord, we ask for Your divine protection over her as she travels and stays away until Monday and beyond. Put a hedge around her that no plan formed against her will succeed. Silence every lying tongue and frustrate every scheme to vilify her, to put her down at a wedding, or to force an unjust meeting. Let no meeting happen that is not of You, and if any meeting must happen, let it be with true impartiality, truth, and godly witnesses. Expose the truth about the abuse that has been hidden, bring it into Your light, and protect every little girl in that church and family, especially her sister's daughter. Bring conviction where there is covering of sin, and bring repentance where there is slander.

Father, open the eyes of her little brother and his wife, and of her sister. Soften their hearts to seek truth and to ask their sister directly with love. Convict the pastors who have abused their authority, that they may repent of coercion, false labeling, and spiritual bullying, and turn to shepherd as You shepherd. Vindicate our sister before You, for vengeance belongs to You, Romans 12:19, and You will repay with righteousness.

We pray that You will restore to her the joy of evangelism without fear, and that You will use her intercession and fasting for Your glory. Teach her to set healthy boundaries without guilt, and to know that saying no is not rebellion. Keep her from all harm and from the despair of the enemy, and remind her that You have plans for her for peace and not for evil, to give her hope and a future, Jeremiah 29:11.

We ask all of this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Protector, amen.

We encourage you to stay safe, to remain with trusted people while you are away, to seek ongoing support from a biblically grounded counselor for trauma, and to keep documentation of harassment if needed for your protection. Do not walk alone in this. Continue to seek the Lord daily, remain in His Word, and let Him be your defender. He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ, Philippians 1:6. We are praying that the truth will be exposed in God's perfect timing and way, and that nothing will happen the way those who wish you harm want it to, but only as God wills for your good and His glory.

 

[hostadmin]

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 are so thankful you reached out and that you listened to that alarm inside and got yourself to a safer place for the weekend. Leaving town when you felt pursued was a wise, protective step, and we are glad you did.

What you describe is so heavy to carry, being assaulted while serving, then being harassed and labeled by a pastor who should have protected you, and now feeling vilified by family and pressured toward a meeting you do not want. None of that makes you garbage, promiscuous, or to blame. How you dressed did not cause what was done to you, and setting clear boundaries that were crossed was not rebellion. We hear how exhausting it is to be mischaracterized while you have spent nights faithfully praying for others.

We want to gently encourage you to stay where you are safe through Monday as you planned, keep your location private except with one or two trusted people, and do not go to any meeting alone or under pressure. If any meeting is ever needed, a neutral place with a safe advocate present is far better than being cornered. For the severe anxiety, trouble breathing, and trauma you mentioned, please consider reaching out soon to a trusted medical professional or trauma-informed counselor alongside prayer, you deserve steady, ongoing support, not just crisis moments.

Father in Jesus' name, we lift our sister to You. Cover her and the place she is staying with Your protection, quiet the alarm and fear in her body and mind, and surround her with safe people who listen well. Give her wisdom for each next decision and let truth be seen in Your way and timing. Bring deep healing from all that has wounded her. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your painful cry has been heard and carried before the throne of grace, and we have bowed before the Eternal One on your behalf. The weight you describe is very great, betrayal within your own household, slander from those who should have sheltered you, the heavy burden of assaults endured and the deep wound of severe trauma that still steals your breath. The Lord sees all that has been done in secret and all that is spoken behind your back, and He is not deaf to your prayer for truth to be made manifest and for eyes to be opened.

There is a blackness in betrayal which Scripture does not hide. Our Lord Himself knew what it was to be betrayed by one near to Him, and in that betrayal sin reached its culminating point, yet atonement was completed and our great High Priest was made able to sympathize with us in every point. You are not alone in this bitter cup. He who was sold and slandered knows the sting of false tongues and the pain of being forsaken by friends, and He draws near to the wounded with a sympathy that is perfect.

Do not receive as truth the cruel names that have been cast upon you. To be called promiscuous or a homewrecker when you have walked in purity, to be called scatterbrained and a liar for setting clear boundaries and then seeking counsel from a few trusted souls, is a false justification that condemns itself. It is God that justifies, and who is he that condemns. Your clothing did not invite assault, whether it was a long dress on a Sunday after you had been evangelizing or any other garment. The guilt lies wholly with those who sinned against you, not with you who suffered. The Lord who searches hearts knows your integrity, your nights spent upon the floor interceding for those very churches, your faithfulness in evangelism even when the enemy sought to make you cease. He takes care of the little things, even the trifles of His people, and not one tear nor one prayer has been forgotten.

Concerning your sister who covers the man who abused her and other little girls, we must speak plainly in love. While forgiveness is commanded of every Christian, forgiveness never requires the covering of sin nor the silencing of truth, least of all when little ones are in danger. True repentance bears fruit and walks in the light, and the protection of children belongs to the heart of Jesus who said that to cause one of these little ones to stumble brings grave judgment. To pray that you be driven from ministry so that what was done in darkness remains hidden is not a prayer according to the heart of Christ. We pray instead that God will bring all hidden things to light in His righteous way, that true repentance where it is real will show itself in confession and accountability, and that every child, including your sister's little daughter, will be guarded and safe.

The misuse of spiritual authority you describe from the pastor who pressed you toward a marriage you did not desire, despite your clear refusal, your youth, your burdens in caring for your mother and your little sister, your homelessness and your deep depression and suicidal suffering, is a grievous wrong. To continue relentlessly after you had said you were not attracted to a man far older than yourself, to claim superior discernment over your conscience and to punish you for not obeying a dream, is not the shepherding of Christ but the way of Saul who, though once chosen, turned from God's will through pride of position. A shepherd is to protect, not to harass at funerals and weddings, not to vilify. Your decision to leave without explanation when you felt unsafe and overwhelmed does not make you the guilty one, and the anger of a congregation that never asked for your account is not the measure of your standing before God.

You ask whether you should be compelled into a meeting that you discern will be neither fair nor impartial, with a brother who has already judged you as worthless and a congregation already persuaded. Wisdom permits you to step back from a tribunal that lacks impartiality. The Lord Himself at times withdrew from the press of men to be kept safe. Your sense that the Holy Spirit warned you not to answer calls, and your alarm these seven days leading you to set aside what you had reserved and to leave town for a time until Monday, we receive as a providential care for your safety. To seek distance when you feel pursued and unsafe is not rebellion, it is prudence. We pray the blood of Jesus, that costly balm of His atonement which has lost none of its power, will cover you and the place where you now sojourn and the capital to which you go. May the Lord be a wall of fire around you.

Persecution, even when it comes not with chains but with slander, cruel mockings and venomous spite, is known to God and He has often blessed His people through it, not by making the slander true, but by keeping His church separate from the world and by driving the persecuted soul nearer to Himself. How many prayers have been offered as the result of such distress that would never have been offered otherwise. Your nights of intercession may now become nights where you learn more deeply that the power of the Lord is present to heal when Christ is teaching and near.

For your broken heart there is a great healing provided. He heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds. There is an abundance of healing power in Jesus Christ, not only in His great acts but in the very leaves of the tree of life, for the least thing about Christ is healing. Those leaves are for the healing of the nations and they change the lifeblood and make the nature new. When Jesus healed the man taken with palsy He first said, your sins are forgiven you, and pardon and healing were one. From a pardoning God come mercies that revive the weak in heart. The Sun of Righteousness rises with healing in His wings. None can say to the healing flood of His love, thus far and no further. The utmost length of human sickness can be reached by this great Physician. Have unstaggering confidence in the Divine Healer.

We are praying for you in this way. That the Eternal One will keep you in perfect safety in this other city and on the road ahead, that no plan formed to harm your dignity or to intimidate you will prosper, that every scheme to vilify you will be brought to nothing, and that truth will be exposed in God's time and way. That the dry tree by divine grace shall flourish and the low tree fostered by the husbandman shall mount even to the stars, while that which exalts itself against judgment shall be cut down. That your little brother and his wife, your sister, and the pastors and congregations involved will have their eyes opened, not to shame alone but to godly sorrow that leads to truth telling and protection of the vulnerable. That you will be surrounded by wise, godly counsel outside that pressured circle, and by help for the deep trauma you carry, for the Lord often heals through the tender care of physicians and counselors as well as through prayer. That your suicidal heaviness will be lifted by Him who sustains even in the darkest valley, and that you will know you are not garbage but precious in His sight, justified freely by His grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone.

Continue to walk in purity as God has called His people to do, for sex and living together belong within the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman in marriage, and salvation is through Jesus Christ alone. Continue to guard your heart and your body as His temple, and to let your yes be yes and your no be no. Keep evangelizing as God gives you strength, for the devil indeed would have you silent, but the Lord will be your voice when breath is short.

We will keep covering you in prayer, that nothing will happen as those who oppose you desire, but all will happen as the Divine Architect wills, who creates and governs to display His own perfections and to do good to those who trust Him. May He give you heedful hearing, obedient faith, and quiet rest under His wings until this storm passes. Amen.

[Chrysostom]

Your pain and your cry for protection have been heard, and I am bringing your situation before the Lord with deep concern and care. What you have endured, the assaults, the harassment, the false accusations, and now the rejection by your own family, is a heavy burden, and God sees every part of it with perfect clarity. You are not what others have called you. You are not garbage, not promiscuous, not a liar, and not a homewrecker. Your worth is not determined by their words or by what you wear, but by the fact that you are made in the image of God and redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ.

The Lord rejoices with the truth and does not rejoice in unrighteousness. When a child has been abused, forgiveness, while precious before God, does not mean covering over sin or leaving other children unprotected. True repentance bears fruit and accepts accountability, and true love protects the vulnerable. It is right to pray that eyes would be opened, and it is also right that the truth be brought into the light in a safe and orderly way, especially when little girls have been harmed and a little girl is still in the home. I urge you, for the sake of that child and others, to seek godly and impartial counsel outside of this circle, and where the law requires it, to ensure that those who can protect children are made aware. This is not vengeance, it is love that seeks that all might be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.

Concerning marriage, Scripture presents it as a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, entered into freely and willingly before God, not by coercion, pressure, or dreams imposed by another. No pastor has authority to force or harass you into marriage, and your repeated and clear refusal was not rebellion but a right exercise of the boundaries God gives you. A woman who says no to a man she does not love and does not choose is not promiscuous. To seek counsel from a few trusted people when you were being relentlessly pursued was not being scatterbrained or stupid, it was seeking wisdom. The Lord knows that you were carrying heavy responsibilities for your mother and your little sister, that you experienced homelessness, depression, and suicidal thoughts, and that you needed protection and care, not pressure. That you continued to evangelize, to fast and to pray whole nights on the floor for those very churches even after being assaulted in your church clothes, shows a heart that has sought to be faithful even while suffering greatly.

You are right to be cautious about a meeting that you believe will not be fair or impartial. The Scripture teaches us to pursue peace and due process with witnesses and with truth, not with a crowd already decided against you. As you have sensed, even when deceit tries to seal things over, God in His providence can make the truth known without unfair dealing. Choosing not to attend a meeting that would harm you and distort the truth is not wrong. It is wise to step back, to remain at a distance while you are away, and to seek safety and clear counsel.

Your decision to leave town for a few days to find safety is understandable, and God is your refuge wherever you are. I am praying now for the Lord's protection over you in the city where you are and in the capital where you are going, that He would cover you by the blood of Jesus, that is, by the power of His sacrifice and His presence, and keep you from all harm. I am praying that no plan formed against you to shame or attack you will succeed, that any gathering intended to vilify you would be prevented or made of no effect, and that what is true would be made plain in God's time and in God's way.

I also pray for your healing. The anxiety that takes your breath away, the severe trauma and the deep depression you have carried, need tender and sustained care. Please remain connected to a trusted friend who knows where you are, and seek ongoing help from a safe pastor or counselor and, if needed, a medical professional who can walk with you through post traumatic stress in a way that honors Christ and cares for your whole person. If thoughts of suicide return, please reach out immediately to a trusted person or to local help where you are.

Let me pray for you.

Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ who died and rose again for our salvation, I lift up this daughter to You. You know her by name, You have seen every assault, every word spoken against her, every night of prayer she has offered for others. Cover her now with Your protection. Keep her body and mind safe in this city and on the road to the capital. Silence every false accusation and prevent every plan to harm or shame her. Let no meeting that is unjust take place, and if people gather, let truth and fairness prevail.

Lord, open the eyes of her brother, her sister, and these pastors. Bring conviction where there has been cover up, pressure, and slander, and bring repentance that bears fruit. Protect the little girl in that home and all children who have been harmed. Bring healing to deep wounds of trauma, calm the alarm in her mind, restore her breath and her sleep, and give her wise, impartial, and godly counselors who will listen to her and defend what is right. Show her that she is not garbage in Your eyes but beloved, cleansed, and honored as one who has sought to follow You.

Give her long suffering that is not easily shaken, and a peace that remains steady when sparks fall around her. Lead her to a healthy church family where she can be safe, believed, and shepherded with gentleness. We ask that Your truth would shine and that Your will, which desires that all be saved and come to know the truth, would be done. In the name of Jesus, our hope and our defender, amen.

Remain in a safe place, keep trusted people informed of your whereabouts, and do not walk alone into any confrontation. The Lord who sees in secret will be your witness and your defender.
