RAPED, ABUSED, TORTURED-WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

What would you do if someone raped, abused tortured and terrorized you, your mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt , male relative or other relative of yours?  Just what would you do? One may have been sodomized, burned with a cigarette or cigar, cut with a razor or knife, strangled, suffocated or other horror by the abuser. What would you do? Examine yourself. One may have pleaded to God for Him to take them home, but what if they lived and had to deal with the pain, hurt, thoughts and suffering of what they experienced. Remember Jesus suffered before His body died. They beat Him until His meat hung into strips on His back. They pierced his side. They nailed His hands and feet.He forgave them fully, freely and finally.

Ephesians 4:31-32 says Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: and be ye kind one to another, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.We ask God to forgive us our trespass and we forgive those who trespass against us. God says to forgive them for what was done as He forgave what was done to Him. Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people? Look and read the book of Job. The enemy came to kill and destroy.

How do you fight the enemy?You are normally attacked at the point of your weakness.You suffer physically, emotionally, mentally, financially and spiritually.But you suffer because of what was in the spirit of that person. Do not run and do not fight them on their ground or territory. Remember, we are living in spiritual warfare and fighting powers of darkness. What matter to them is what they want to do. you pick the territory or some place you are familiar with and take the fight to them, IF you must fight.We are just and live by faith so we can take possession of all God has given to us or what God has already done for us. Be responsible. Do not resort to situations quickly. Think about how Jesus would respond. Remember how He reacted to the people who were gambling in the temple.

I speak about this from experiencing the hurt, pain and suffering. I chose to forgive Now I must forget, for I will not put a limit on what God do or can do for me in my life, for I know God favors me. I am maturing gracefully. My body is finally catching up with my spirit because my mind is being renewed. There is power in knowing things, and if you understand and try to do things Christ-like, you will succeed. Hebrews 11:1 says faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. What should we hope for? 1Peter1:7 that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perished, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Your faith is being put on trial especially when the enemy attacks you and try to destroy you. Just remember, decree claim and believe Isaiah54:17 no weapon formed against you shall prosper.

Do not let your relationship with God be seriously damaged. We have the power to change our lives That power came from God to us. Hide God's Word in your heart and He will strengthen you. Avoid un-godly things, people and council as it was written, It was written also bad company corrupts good morals. 1Corinthians15:33 says be not deceived; evil communications corrupt good manners. Get around people who strengthens you and your walk with God. Gather with the people of God.We are all members of the same body.see 1Corininthians12:6 We are submissive and accountable to each other in the body of Christ.  Continue to have faith. By grace, we are saved through faith and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God:Ephesians2:8 Please end this reading by praying THE LORD'S PRAYER. This I ask in the name of Jesus. AMEN.
