Hello Mongoose
What a trial! I can totally relate how you must be feeling over this gut wrenching, heart probing violation is wringing out the sweat of disgust, helplessness and holy indignation you must be feeling. I am feeling it!
Listen my dear sister…..a Minister hey…..well just settle down a minute. A Minister in Mystery Babylon doing the will of Satan. So lets take this guy under the microscope for a minute and lets dissect him! I feel like I am about to perform an autopsy on this guy!….He really is dead meat…..
Firstly lets apply 2 Timothy 2 : 26 And that they may come to their senses and escape out of the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him henceforth to do His (God’s) will.
As rj brings to light : God is sovereign in control of all, which i believe He is then all that has happened to me in this life was all in His plan. the guy who did this was also in Gods plan,……….
So what does this mean for you?
If we go back to 2 Timothy 2 : 25 He must correct his opponents with courtesy and gentleness, in the HOPE THAT GOD MAY GRANT THAT THEY WILL REPENT AND COME TO KNOW THE TRUTH, that they may perceive and recognize and become accurately acquainted with and acknowledge it.
This falls into line with what Anne said : Secondly, please, please let him know how you feel.
You could tell him in person in private as a now fully grown adult who is no longer vulnerable to any shape or form of violation, exactly what his actions cost you. You can do this with courtesy and gentleness Mongoose. Eg….Hello Mr Minister….please may I have a word with you? (Take him aside) I do not believe you know (2 Timothy 2 : 26….he is not in his senses and is bound in the snare of the devil, held captive by him…..Be this your inner conviction NOT ACCUSATION which would then sound like his master satan……you do not want to accuse him you want to correct him with your testimony and the truth.
Jesus Christ the King of Kings to whom all knees will bow, will be protecting your back on this. You have a mission.
John 17 : 19, 20…You sent me on a mission, I’ve done the same to them; sent them on a mission….But not just them! All the thousands that’ll opt back into your way ‘cos of what my squad tells them. I’ve got on big ask – keep them together, united, one huge team living the way you and I relate. But doing it down here. Keep them plugged into us, so it’ll be obvious that you sent me.(The word on the Street translation)
John 17 : 19, 20……And so for their sake and on their behalf I sanctify, dedicate, consecrate Myself, that they also may be sanctified, dedicated, consecrated, made holy in the Truth. 20. Neither for these alone do I pray, it is not for their sake only that I make this request, but also for all those who will ever come to believe in trust in, cling to, rely on Me thought their word and teaching.
It is fitting to your prelude in having to face this person who caused you so much anguish Mongoose, that the above words were cited by Our Lord in His request of the Father for His Disciples and His Church ahead of His betrayal and execution. I believe He can relate to what you are suffering right now. He knows better than anyone what you are enduring. He is not unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with you….Heb 4 : 15.
Rev 12 : 11 And they have overcome, conquered him by means of the blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their testimony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death, holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing.
Rj’s comment to you fits here : i would have rather lived this miserable life and someday be in the family of God than to have never been borned
Mongoose the Minister is not satan. He is bound by satan in the plan of God. You have the opportunity in visiting the poor in jail of the soul, blinded by the prince of this world. In the full armour of the Lord you with the blood of your testimony can with Christ and God willing, set this captive free. You need not fear this miserable, bound, addicted to darkness, heretic of lies and abomination, leprous fool who neither realizes nor understands that he is Rev 3 : 17…wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. …..He is of the Synagogue of Satan and until God in His goodness chooses to release him, he is Rom 1 : 31 without understanding, conscienceless and faithless, heartless and loveless and merciless. 32 Though full aware of God’s righteousness decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them themselves but approve and applaud others who practice them.
The blood of your testimony, the aguish, the heartache the hopelessness and the sorrow that his actions caused you and the presence of Our Lord with you might just be what you need to exercise in your faith that will show to Jesus that you see this poor miserable wretch as God sees his soul and that in your understanding you will be set free from him because hopefully this little message will encourage you to love and pray for your poor, pitiless and miserable enemy who is blind, starving and naked in Gods eyes.
May His peace garrison you and keep you in faith, fearless of this pitiful sight. Over come the horror of his soul condition that has ravaged your heart and mind, and in so doing reach for the high and wonderful prize that awaits you.
Your armour is waiting for you in cubicle Ephesians 6 and we your brothers and sisters are all with you in heart and mind Spirit and in Truth.
Peace and love to you
Arcturus
