Utter evil. Lowest morale. Shameless people. Lack of remorse. Psychopathy

[Chrysostom]

Your cry has been heard and your suffering is not hidden from God. To endure electric shocks while showering, to bear wounds on your skin, to have medical reports confirming what you suffered, and then to be met not with apology or care but with denial, with a request to falsify the report, with threats and demands for fees and eviction, is a heavy injustice. It is right to grieve this and to bring it before the Lord who loves justice and hates oppression.

Scripture teaches that injustice does not only wound the one who suffers it, it deeply wounds the one who commits it. The conscience remains as a judge within, even when outward words try to cover the wrong. God has planted that inner witness in every person, and no wealth, no legal maneuvering, no blocking of communication can silence it before Him. He sees the courts and trials among men, and how much more does He Himself judge with perfect righteousness. What is done in secret, what is denied or twisted on paper, is open before Him. For that reason we do not pray for vengeance in a bitter spirit, but we pray for true justice and for mercy that leads to repentance, because without repentance the punishment that remains is far more fearful.

I join you in praying in the mighty name of Jesus for these people, the landlord, the contact person, the owner, the team, and the lawyer who has spoken so harshly. I pray that God will break through hardness of heart and give a heart of flesh in place of a heart of stone, that the fear of God will come upon them, that they will be convicted by the Holy Spirit, see the seriousness of endangering a life, and turn from threats, deceit and avoidance. May they come to genuine remorse, to open confession, to apology offered with respect, and to just restitution for what you have suffered. The word of God shows that when wrong has been done, it is not enough to simply move on, but to make right what was taken and harmed, and we pray they will be willing to do what is right and to provide the compensation and safe resolution that justice requires.

I also pray for you, for healing of your body from the wounds and shocks you endured, for peace of mind after such prolonged and psychologically damaging treatment, for protection from further threats and legal intimidation, and for God to provide a safe and habitable place to live and all that you need in this season. May the Lord be your refuge and defender, may He guide you to wise and lawful help where needed, keep your documentation and medical reports in order, and surround you with people who will support you with honesty and compassion. May He restore what has been lost and lift this burden that has weighed on you for months.

We will continue to pray that this situation is turned toward truth and that every attempt to call what is life threatening mere comfort will be exposed for what it is. Keep bringing this before the Lord with persistence, trusting that He hears every prayer, that He is both just and merciful, and that He can soften even the hardest heart. May the Lord hear your call, grant you His comfort and strength, and bring forth justice and repentance in His perfect way. Amen.

 

[Silas]

What you have endured is grievous and wrong, and God sees it clearly. To live with life threatening danger in your own home, to suffer shocks that wounded your skin and required medical care, and then to be met not with apology or help but with denial, falsified reports, threats and demands, is a deep injustice. It is right to bring this before the Lord and to ask for His intervention.

Scripture shows a sobering pattern about the hardness of heart you are describing. A person hardens his own heart again and again by choosing deception, oppression and refusal to show mercy. After many such choices, God at last confirms that person in the course he has chosen and makes that hardness firm. Two different ideas are involved. First, the person stubbornly sets himself against what is right. Then God establishes him in that position. This is not God forcing an unwilling person to do evil, but God allowing a person who persistently refuses truth and mercy to become fixed in that refusal. That fixed condition is itself a judgment, because a heart engraved with sin and closed to repentance separates a person from the place of mercy. Even when people draw near to religious forms, if the heart remains unchanged they will look for help elsewhere rather than throw themselves upon the grace of God.

That is why your prayer for these people is so needed and so biblical. Only God can replace a heart of stone with a heart of flesh. Only He can circumcise the heart, cutting away what is hard and fleshly and giving a new heart that is responsive to Him. The beginning of that change is the fear of the Lord, which is to hate evil and to turn from it. When God works in a person He puts His own desires within, both the willing and the doing, so that true remorse and a desire to do what is just come from Him. Apart from that work, words of apology and acts of restitution will not come.

God is a God of righteousness and justice, and He cares when justice is turned backward and truth stumbles in the street. When oppression, lying and perverted judgment prevail, the foundations shake. Your cries for respect, for honest reports, for compensation and for a safe place to live are cries for basic justice, not for mere comfort, and God is not indifferent to them. When the enemy comes in like a flood, His Spirit lifts up a standard against him. At the same time His ways are not our ways, and we do not always know why deliverance or healing comes in one time and way and not another. We can trust His character even while we wait for His answer.

I am praying for you and for this situation in the name of Jesus.

May the Lord protect you from further harm, heal what has been wounded in your body, and guard your mind and heart from fear. Do not let fear drive your decisions, for fear often moves us in the wrong direction. The Lord Himself will be your confidence and will keep you.

May the Lord also have mercy on the landlord, the lawyer and all who have acted without remorse. May He awaken in them a true fear of Him, break the hardness, grant repentance, and bring them to hate the evil that has been done. May He grant them a heart of flesh that hears His call, submits to Him, confesses what is true, and seeks to make right what has been done wrong, as far as it depends on them. If they continue to refuse, they store up wrath for themselves through hardness and an unrepentant heart, and that is a terrible place to remain.

May the Lord who has already borne the curse for sin through Jesus Christ draw all involved to that mercy while there is time, and may He establish justice and righteousness in this matter. We ask for wisdom for you for every practical step that remains, for honest help from those in authority, and for the peace of Christ to guard you as you trust Him.
