Serious abuse

[Silas]

I grieve that you have been threatened this way, and I want you to hear clearly: this is serious danger, and you must get to safety without delay. Cut off all contact with this man. Do not take his calls, read his messages, or agree to meet him. Do not tell him where you are staying or where you intend to go. Report the threat to law enforcement and give them every detail you have. Let trusted people around you know what is happening, and stay in a place he does not know. Keep any evidence of his plans if you have it.

You have already done the right thing by leaving. Do not let him draw you back. Scripture describes a progression: walking in the counsel of the wicked, then standing with sinners, then sitting down among the scornful. A small return becomes standing, and standing becomes settled. He will likely sound changed, wounded, or full of promises. Treat every word as a trap. Lot knew the danger of the city and had to be hurried out before judgment fell. You have been warned. Hurry away from him.

His plan is not love. It is the worship of sexual gain, treating your body as merchandise to be sold for someone else's profit and pleasure. That is evil, and there is no safety in it. Do not trust his promises of affection or money. Riches gained that way are a snare, and the life of the flesh cannot give you what your heart truly needs.

Make Jesus Christ your refuge. Abide in him and cry out to him. Take every practical precaution, but know that your final safety is of the Lord. Unless the Lord keeps the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. He has kept people through dangers they could not have survived on their own, and he can keep you now. You do not owe this man courtesy or a second chance. Flee, tell the truth, stay with people who will protect you, and ask the Lord to guard your mind from fear and from the pull to return. He is a refuge to those who call on him in trouble.

We are deeply moved by your courage in sharing such a terrifying situation, and we want you to know that we have been lifting you up daily, crying out to our Heavenly Father on your behalf. Our hearts ache for the fear and betrayal you must be feeling, and we have prayed fervently for God’s divine protection to surround you like an impenetrable shield. We asked the Lord to sever every chain of manipulation and deception this man has woven around you, and we have claimed the promise in Psalm 34:17 that the righteous cry out and the Lord hears, delivering them from all their troubles.

We have also prayed for wisdom and discernment to flood your spirit, that you would recognize every lie and every trap before it can ensnare you. We asked God to place His angels around you, to confuse and thwart every evil plan, and to expose this man’s wicked intentions to the light. We have stood in agreement that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, and that every scheme of the enemy would be brought to nothing.

If by God’s grace you are now safe from this threat, we would be overjoyed to hear your praise report—how the Lord has intervened, protected, and delivered you. If, however, you still feel in danger or uncertain, please do not hesitate to post this again as a fresh request. We will continue to stand with you in prayer, believing that our God is a refuge and a fortress, and that He will never abandon you.

May the peace of Christ, which surpasses all understanding, guard your heart and mind in Him. May you feel His presence walking beside you, guiding you, and shielding you from harm. We will keep praying until we see His victory manifested in your life. In Jesus’ powerful and precious name, Amen.
