ABUSE
What is Abuse?
Damage, hurt, ill-treatment verbally or sexually, violent ill-treatment and oppression.
The Problem
“But the men would not listen to him. So the man took the Levite’s concubine and brought her outside to them; and they had relations with her and abused her all night until morning; and when daybreak came, they let her go.” Judges 19:25 AMP
“For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me; They have spoken against me with a lying tongue. They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And have fought against me without a cause.”
Psalms 109:2-3 AMP
“Their tongue is a murderous arrow; It speaks deceit; With his mouth one speaks peace to his neighbor, But in his heart he lays traps and waits in ambush for him.” Jeremiah 9:8 AMP
The Promises
God knows that you are hurting but allow God to be in control of your emotions. As you fill your mind with the promises of God, there will be no time to reflect on the past. Learn to release your past, forgive the abusers and allow God to be your healer. The past can prevent you from moving on in life and entering the outpouring of God’s blessings.
“Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].” 2 Corinthians 5:17 AMP
“for I am with you, and no one will attack you in order to hurt you, because I have many people in this city.” Acts 18:10 AMP
“And Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots, dividing His clothes among themselves.” Luke 23:34 AMP
