Victim of Abuse



Domestic abuse is more than common; it is prevalent in all socioeconomic levels of society and in all age, educational, and racial groups. Only a very small percentage of these cases are brought to justice. Those who are the perpetrators and those who are the victims may continue to experience this tragedy for years or even worst a lifetime.

Are you in an abusive relationship? Seeking God’s help is very important. Your first step is to know how much God loves you and the price He paid for you. Having a personal relationship with God through His Son, Jesus empowers you with the Holy Spirit, who lives within you giving you the power and the strength to have a better life.

As a victim of abuse, you may feel helpless and vulnerable, unable to determine what your real situation is or to make the decisions you must make to change what is happening to you. You may feel depressed, suffer from low self-esteem, and may even suffer from stress related diseases and disorders.  You may also be experiencing martyr-like endurance hoping that “change is about to happen” assuming blame for your abuser’s behavior. Most abusers don’t realize how destructive their behavior is. Abusers do not often change until they are exposed and brought to legal action.

God gives us hope and a future! In Psalm 34:4 we read; “I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.” He answers our prayers. Others have gone through what you are going through. You are not alone. You may find it hard to express your feelings about your situation and this is not uncommon, but seeking the Lord, asking Him to help you will allow you to get past this. It is important that you do get past this, and to know that you are loved by God. You are His special child and you have a God-given purpose for your life. He will see you through this ordeal.

Now is the time for you to find a pastor or a Christian counselor or perhaps a mature Christian friend of the same sex whom you can trust and start to explain to them what you are going through.

You do not “deserve” this abusive treatment. As a precious child of God, He does not want you to endure this abusive relationship any longer! No matter what your abuser may tell you, this abuse is not your fault and must stop now! I am praying for your courage to be decisive and firm. God is good. He is your healer.

“He heeded their prayer, because they trusted Him” (1 Chronicles 5:20.)

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...

A Promise is a Promise

When you were a child did your parents ever promise to take you somewhere special for your birthday? Maybe they promised you could stay up late with them the night of your birthday? You never doubted their promises did you? I mean, a promise is a promise. If they told you they were going to do something you just knew it was going to happen! I remember how excited I was when my parents promised me something and they gave it to me!  I’ll never forget how I trusted them. Neither can I forget the promises God has made and kept for me in my lifetime. He has always been faithful to deliver what He has promised to me. Sometimes the evil one tries to convince me God hasn’t delivered though. He tries to convince me God changes His mind. Its times like this that I will to remain strong. I read what God says and declare how great my God is! Just because we don’t see His fulfillment according to our understanding at that particular time does not mean He hasn’t done it or isn’t going to do ...
