You
might have noticed, as I did, that my recent posts are reaching a very large audience,
but no one’s leaving a comment. However, knowing that when it comes to owning the reality of their situation the abused become ‘shadow
people’, who fade into the woodwork where it’s safe that not only makes sense, it is their norm. Both hearing and feeling every wrong, but pretending that wrong isn’t, it’s no wonder
that their fear filled reality would cause them to remain silent and not post a comment. Sadly those very ones who need the LAMB
Ministries teaching might, due to their fear of horrid repercussions least that book be found, never buy one.
This
is where you come in, for just as Messiah (Christ) told us to go to all nations and proclaim forgiveness in Him, since each of us may be the only safe person the abused may
know, it is through your wise council and biblical coaching that recovery can
begin.
I
know this to be true because while trying to handle a situation I had not
created, a situation that did not involve me, but one that was having a negative
impact on my family that I came to Messiah (Christ) broken and in need, and He
healed me “In His Time”.
If you know someone
that needs your help, please know that I am praying for you.

I know for the abuse I suffered was mostly verbal until...
