Spiritually Abusive Churches - Personal Testimony



Comeflyintothesky:

You are 100% correct.

At the end of this YouTube, you said something that
is SOOOO VITAL and yet SOOOOO IGNORED!!!!!!!!!!

(From 18:52 to 19:32)

..."If you are physically abused, you can go to a police
...officer and get help. Because a police officer is not
...connected to your physical abuse.

...In spiritual abuse situations, it's SO MUCH HARDER,
...because, the people who abuse you, they represent
..."God" to you. And so a lot of people have a VERY
...hard time going to God because the people who
...represented Him HURT YOU SOOO BAD and trashed
...you and striped you of everything and sometimes
...including your family."

AGAIN, YOU ARE 100% CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Think of the Catholic Priests who've GOTTEN AWAY
WITH their "physical" abuse because, to the child,
this person represents "God".

This also happens with family leaders who have NOT
SOUGHT GOD FOR THEMSELVES. They will take their
own family "history" as "enough". Then, the devil will
allow them to "build" on some sort of false basis built
around "society's acceptance" or "denominational
acceptance" which, to them, equates to "God".

This was done VERY MUCH in my own family and, for
years and years I could NOT come to "grips" with what
was causing me to be SOOO ANGRY!!!

You can't really "SEE" your need until you "get away"
from that source which is causing this. And, what you
are saying is SOOOOO TRUE!!!!!!!!!! GET AWAY FROM
THESE SOURCES (which many times are "churches"
but could be "family") and GET TRUTH FROM GOD!!!!

On a "prophetic" level, "church" people are MANY times
just like the Pharisees, they don't "SEE" ANY NEED to
"GET INTO THE ARK". They think they are ALREADY
IN THE ARK!!! If they saw the Ark sitting there and knew
it was going to rain and flood, "then", they would get in.

...Matthew 9 (KJV)
...11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his
...disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and
...sinners?
...12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They
...that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
...13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy,
...and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous,
...but sinners to repentance.

It is probably of lot like an old movie where the husband
gives his wife only a "small" dose of arsenic at a time.
It doesn't KILL right away but disintegrates the insides
a little at a time.

In the same way, this LACK OF TRUTH or "acceptance
thereof", will disintegrate away any HOPE!!! Is there
ANY WONDER why Jesus came down SOOOOO HARD
on those who damaged "children" thereby!!!

...Matthew 18 (KJV)
...5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in
...my name receiveth me.
...6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones
...which believe in me, it were better for him that a
...millstone were hanged about his neck, and that
...he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
...7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it
...must needs be that offences come; but woe to
...that man by whom the offence cometh!

WARNING TO THE SHEPHARDS - deliverance for the sheep!!!!!!!!!!

[We've had about 2.5 inches of rain in the last
24 hours and I was thinking about this song. It
might represent those who have BEEN THROUGH
this "type" abuse and LEARNED the truth!!!!!!]

Hi-Lili,Hi-Lo Richard Chamberlain



Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
(music by Bronislau Kaper, and lyrics by Helen Deutsch)

A song of love is a sad song
Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
A song of love is a song of woe
Don't ask me how I know

A song of love is a sad song
For I have loved and it's so
I sit at the window and watch the rain
Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo

Tomorrow, I'll probably love again
Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo

A song of love is a sad song
For I have loved and it's so
I sit at the window and watch the rain
Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo

Tomorrow, I'll probably love again
Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo

Thanks Calvin. Im humbled that you care so much.
