Laura-Lee's Rant (Simplified)

 

For decades I've been learning about Domestic Violence, Sexual Abuse and Incest increasing within the walls of the Christian Church, but when I tried to expose it, it was mostly met with disbelief.

I have prayed that someday it would be exposed.

About a year ago I told you that the "someday of exposure" was about to hit and it has. It is now a weekly occurrence to hear of another Christian leader, Minister, Priest or Celebrity who has been doing some very evil things Behind the Closed Doors of their churches and homes and are now being Charged and CONVICTED of their crimes. Many of which have been going on for years.❗️I'm so relieved it has finely started.

However, what I didn't expected to encounter is how many Christians are taking the side of the PERPETRATORS not the VICTIMS❗️

Even after these criminals have been CONVICTED and being hauled off to prison, Christians will come out to PUBLICLY defend them. 😲

Why?

Because they ADMIRE these Scumbags and/or can't face the reality of what they've done.

CHRISTIANS need to stop admiring people other than Jesus (or Bible people God has set up as examples), or as more and more people that you idolize fall by the wayside, you will fall too, because you've got your foundation of faith on IDOLS not JESUS.

And just because someone SAYS they're a Christian and SAYS they are sorry doesn't erase their crimes. 

People who stand up for these types of people are a MAJOR part of why victims have taken so long to speak up. Their complaints fell on deaf ears.

Let's get Practical 

Skip reporting things to Pastors and Church Folk❗️

Go DIRECTLY to the Police. A CRIME Must be Reported.

Now, I didn't think I'd ever need to tell people this, especially Christians, but these following things are crimes that need to be reported.

🔴 Sexually molesting People 

🔴 Having sex with a minor (even if they "consent" to it.)

🔴 Forcing your daughter, or any fanily member to have sex with you. YES. Even raping your wife is illegal.

🔴 Beating people up. YES. That includes family members.

🔴 (Unfortunately) not all Pornography is illegal, except ☝️if there is a child in it. Then it must be reported.

🔴 If you are an adult (of legal age) and you are trying to go somewhere and someone tries to stop you, maybe by threatening you verbally or taking away your car keys and phone, that is a crime too. 

You're FREE❗️YOU have the right to come and go as you please, unrestricted and unhindered.

🔴 If you are unsure if you're the victim of a crime, try phoning the Police (non-Emergency number) in your area. They can guide and inform you.

Other reasons people demonstrate so little compassion for victims of such egregious crimes is that they don't read their Bible enough, so they are unaware of sound doctribe and are being led instead by their feelings. 

AND ... it's also another sign we are in the End Times.

So what happens now, beyond my rantings?

More of the same. From Churches to Christian Ministries and Christian Homes, God is cleaning HIS Houses. Judgment has come. Not only for those who commited the crimes, but for those who stood silently by, justified the criminals and/or helped cover up their illegal activities. And merely saying, "I'm sorry. Really, REALLY sorry" is NOT going to get any of you off the hook.

Living Sacrifices (Simplified)

 

“Laura-Lee, why must I suffer so much physically?!”

Have you ever prayed in accordance with Romans 12:1?

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to OFFER YOUR BODY as a LIVING SACRIFICE,, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.”

A “Living Sacrifice”. How did you think that was going to pan out, except with suffering?

I often relate that verse to Abraham sacrificing his beloved, only son, Isaac, on an altar because God asked him to.

I've heard many, many sermons about that moment from Abraham's perspective (I suppose because most Ministers are usually Dads and are relating to Abraham), but I've always wondered about it from Isaac's point of view.

At some point his Dad had to have told him what was going on. Isaac didn't make a run for it, yet instead he submitted to both his earthly Father's will and their Heavenly Father's will. I'm not surprised that God draws a veil on that portion of the event. Could any of us truly comprehend the agony of it?

But I do know Isaac had his hands bound, was laid on an altar of wood ALIVE and knew he was about to DIE at his Father's hand.

His father, Abraham, gave up what mattered most to him (Isaac) and Isaac trusted his father right into Death and even beyond.

Can we do the same? 

Suffering is never an easy path whether we submit to it or it is inflicted on us. Many times in the midst of it I don't understand and question “why”, things have to be this way, but I always end up praying,

“Jesus, when this is over, promise me things will be okay between us again, because I couldn't live without you.”

Also, keep this in mind. YOU are sharing a portion of HIS suffering, He isn't sharing yours. You are the “Bride of Christ” and if you take this seriously, then you need to walk along beside Him, like the wife of the “suffering Messiah” must do.

Or, you could just take back your Romans 12 prayer and be satisfied with a tiny, lesser faith.🤷‍♀️ A self-centered faith that lacks depth or understanding and has no compassion for others who suffer because you've never walked it yourself. 

It takes intense suffering to be able to say these same things as Job.

“Oh, that my words were recorded,

    that they were written on a scroll,

 that they were inscribed with an iron tool on lead,

    or engraved in rock forever!

I know that my redeemer lives,

    and that in the end he will stand on the earth.

And after my skin has been destroyed,

    yet in my flesh I will see God;

 I myself will see him

    with my own eyes—I, and not another.

    How my heart yearns within me.”

Job 19:23-27

Job had enough faith to look beyond his own physical suffering to KNOW, with surety, that some day God would RESURRECT his physical body, which BTW is the exact same thing Abraham believed God would do for Isaac, revealed when he said,

“We will worship and then we will come back to you.”

Genesis 22:5

Abraham was going to kill Isaac and burn him on an altar but STILL believed God would Resurrect him.

It's the same thing Martha believed, even after spending days watching her sick brother die.

“Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

 Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. DO YOU BELIEVE THIS?’”

 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” 

I find it fascinating that what Job wanted was a record kept of his suffering and his ultimate proclamation of his life. (It is doubly hard to suffer if you believe you are in it alone.) But God answered that “simplified” prayer of Job and has magnified it more times than Job could ever have imagined. Job has become the epitome of honorable, Godly suffering all through these THOUSANDS of years of human history.

Who will be blessed by the  Testimony of your suffering, even if it seems nobody cares or notices in the Here and Now❓️

“Then the Lord said to Satan, ‘Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.”

Job 1:8

“The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part.”

Job 42:12
