He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me. They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the Lord was my support. He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me. The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me. ~ Psalm 18:16-20

He would get help. Finally, this man was demon oppressed. The body of Christ must acknowledge dark evil influences and exercise power over it.

I completely relate to this story. Abusers are usually Narcissists who don’t change. They blame you for everything and punish you for their own faults. And yes, the abuse escalates from emotional and mental abuse to physical abuse. It is NOT easy to leave either. The abuser removes as many supports as possible so you are dependent upon them.

My husband died unexpectedly but SAVED because in my pains, I prayed Him to save him and that I forgive everything he has done to me. During his last months, he was much kinder. How to escape from this kind of relationship?? If the victim looks at our Savior but not the human, if he does His will, then salvation will come.

Thank you for sharing! I was married to a man who had that classic Jekyll & Hyde personality. The abuse didn't begin until after we married. When it became unbearable we went to a number of marriage counsellors. Very few of them were helpful. Our pastor believed that men are blameless in a marriage, and it is up to the woman to fix everything. This pastor also blamed me for not handing over more power in the marriage, including all my finances. Yet the same pastor was entirely unwilling to address my husband's pornography addiction or his abusive behaviours. My husband, Greg, was also a huge manipulator. He turned friends and family against me. Other Christians looked at me as a wayward woman. But I really felt that God was making a way for me to leave, for my safety, and because the abuse was so damaging, emotionally and physically. I was being given a chance to recover and live a peaceful, healthy life. Thank you Jesus!

I've seen this sort of thing in action. A church assembly circles the wagons around an individual when there is a credible allegation of abuse. Whatever doctrine that Church leadership is following, it is not of God.

I’m soooo sorry you experienced that too. Looking back if I was a weak Christian it would’ve turned me against God. Spiritual abuse. I was shocked. Going to the Pastor FINALLY he will be talked to what I had been saying behind closed doors NOPE! They tip toed around it all. It’s like they feel fine saying how submissive a wife is to be but have no verses due him living holy, having integrity, and submitting one to another and NOT mistreating his wife as NONE OF HIS PRAYERS will be heard 🤷‍♀️🥴🤦‍♀️. This man was texting women, drinking, got caught smoking, lying on taxes, singing in karaoke bars, not coming home at reasonable times, not helping around house, yelling and being abusive in house, into pornography with his male cousins, lying to me all the time and robbing Peter to pay Paul and did not give tithes. With this whole list, examples, and emails they said I was trying to be a judge, that we can’t move forward looking at the past, that he needs a softer wife not an accusatory one. It’s better for a man to be in the corner of a housetop than to have a complaining wife. Oohhhh thinking back it makes me so mad. Not once did he have an accusation against me or my Christian character other than saying I didn’t respect him or love him right. Now knowing what narcissism is THEY ALL SAY THAT and it’s nothing you could do to ever show them you love and respect them. It was pure evil. The Pastor would try to make it even by suggesting we both take accountability for our issues and something is never one persons fault. Fault??? I wasn’t trying to find fault over the fact that here I am MARRIED AND A BELIEVER dealing with a nightmare and habitual sinner who pridefully would tell me he not scared of my threats regarding God sees all. He said one time God can find him. It was that day I knew I was dealing with a few demons. Guess what the church where he smeared me to everyone (a church I found in those yrs of dealing with his tantrums for support) he comes and joins there and gives a narrative after I left. I cut all mutuals and did no contact. He is one of their praise and worship leaders and no more than 5 myths ago when I got my divorce a mistress Prob one of many found me on FB apologizing to me and saying how he cheated on her and she can’t stand him and etc etc. The Pastor was warned but didn’t care because he needs him to sing. I just say LORD YOU SEE ALL, THANK YOU FOR GETTING ME OUT! Feel sorry for woman being deceived because he should be concerned about their souls. Quite disturbing what goes on in churches though. God sees.

If a man or woman is abusive they are not acting in any Christian manner .

When I was 16 years old, one night as I was falling asleep, I opened my eyes for two seconds and saw Jesus leaving the end of my bed. He had been sitting there and waited for me to fall asleep and as I did, He got up and started walking away towards the bedroom window. I will never forget it. He was dressed in a white robe with shoulder length wavy brown hair. I love the Lord, Jesus! 🙏🥰❤️

He loves me so much he warned me about what was going to happen. He did this so I would not be scared. I need to remember that. If he loves me enough to do that for me what do I have to fear. Absolutely nothing.

I learned from my Sister is no man or woman are going to be perfect in a Marriage, and I Agree with her, but when we all Talk about Marriage, you want Marriage to last forever till death Do us part....Let's say a woman gets saved by Jesus and the Man doesn't get saved and when the Man turns his head, she's gone her clothes laying on the floor so she gets Raptured into Heaven And the Man is left behind, but the point is if you put Jesus first in a Marriage and do things his way just think that your Marriage could last forever... Marriage is a responsibility a commitment you want to put Jesus first, and if you don't have any of these things, you can be Single, Paul in the bible lived a single life and I'm sure their were A Few more single people in the bible as well, I'm a single man and I love Jesus, I also learned that Marriage that Men are marrying Men, and women are doing the same thing, I know Jesus is Looking down on this earth and he is not pleased on what he Sees...Sin is more in incontrol And no one sees it yet, but this is an eye opener, I love Jesus and he is our Savior amen.....

I hate hearing about issues of domestic violence. Jesus said which one of you can make a strand of hair on your head and yet we feel we have the right to act like we own human beings like they are our property. No man or woman is greater than the other in Christ, we are all one.

Thank you for explaining this, just because we don’t call the police doesn’t mean we’re not abused, just because we present a happy life, doesn’t mean it really was, and just because we didn’t stick it to the abuser in court if we finally get the strength to leave (strength but we’re still in tremendous fear) doesn’t mean we’re not abused. “If he abused you why didn’t you tell the judge and why didn’t you stick it to him with child support when the judge offered it, why did you say no child support?” Why? Because child support is another form of control for these people, they question where your money goes, or they bribe you.. no money if you don’t do XYZ, I didn’t tell the judge because it would have made an already fearful situation more dangerous, if I tell the truth.. now he knows everyone knows, and he has nothing left to lose, doesn’t want to live anymore and definitely doesn’t want you to live anymore. It’s so frustrating. Real abuse you can tell between a person exaggerating the truth and a person who is equally abusive and toxic, and the differences someone who is petrified of a real abusive situation.
