Need encouragement / Miracle

[Osus]

Please stand with me for the miracle I desperately need. I am absolutely broken and I need God's mercy, loving kindness, tender mercies and complete deliverance, healing, restoration. I was born a eunuch (physically) and there's a self hatred within me that I want to be set free from. I've recently hit rock bottom and fallen in the area of sexual sin (pornography and phone sex), gambling (pokie machines) and drinking alcohol and experiencing drunkenness. It grieves me that I have betrayed Jesus in this way and been so unfaithful to Him. I'm from a non Christian family and I was radically saved when I heard the voice of God from the sky at nightime on a beach tell me "I love you." I heard Him tell me, but ever since that moment there has been a war on for me to actually receive and walk in the love of Abba Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit. I found out that my pastor / spiritual mentor, who I had been serving under, was faking having a terminal illness to cover up his double life of sexual sin. At the same time as this happened, my baby sister was diagnosed with a real incurable illness and she passed. It broke me, and I backslid. I was so hurt and in so much pain, I closed my heart to God. I was handed over to a deception after refusing His repeated attempts to reach me, because of pride. I began to worship what He created rather than Him as my creator and I started living in a homosexual lifestyle. It nearly destroyed my life. I lost my mind, had a complete nervous breakdown and began prostituting myself to fund my drug, alcohol and gambling addiction that I developed to self medicate from all the trauma, abuse and pain. I overdosed and was in and out of psych hospitals / rehab 7 times. God in His grace rescued me from the pit of destruction and ran to me with open arms as His prodigal son. But I'm struggling to receive His love and as a result I keep falling in the areas I have mentioned that God wants to heal and set me free from. There is something demonic that prevents me from receiving God's love for me. I really struggle with the shame of being a eunuch. It disgusts me personally and confuses me. Especially when God created man and woman in His image to come together as one. To put everything on the table, I grew up without my Dad who recently shared that he has been diagnosed with NPD (narcissistic personality disorder) and that he has never loved anyone. He has gone as far as to say he doesn't feel anything. My Mum was very controlling, manipulative and in her own words "not available emotionally". When I was young, my Mum would take me to the doctor and coached me to say there was something wrong with me. I would then be admitted to hospital for a medical procedure, where they found nothing. I always felt incredibly rejected by both my parents - that no matter what I have done to honour them or show them love as their eldest son, they find something to be upset with or disappointed with me in. None of my other siblings are treated like this. Shortly after my Dad left my Mum with four kids on her own under the age of 10, I was incestually sexually abused by a male cousin when I was a young boy. I never told anyone out of fear. When I got the courage as a born again believer to confess this to my parents, my Mum's response was that she didn't believe it ever happened and my Dad's response was he wasn't surprised. When I asked why, he said that he was aware that kind of abuse was going on in my mums side of the family, but it was never openly talked about (he shared this with no emotion). Both their responses hurt. I just want to know who I am in Christ, why I am here and to be healed from all the rejection I feel personally within myself towards God for being born a eunuch, and be able to receive His love and be completely healed to love others and draw them to Him. My heart is for evangelism and souls, and I don't want to delay God's purpose and plan for my life for His glory any longer. Would you please stand with me and pray for my life? God bless you.

[Articles]

Brendan Luke, we hear the cry of your heart and stand with you in prayer. Let us first remember that God loves you deeply, and nothing can separate you from His love (Romans 8:38-39 WEB).

We must remember that we are all beautifully and wonderfully made by God (Psalm 139:14 WEB), and your physical condition does not define your identity in Christ. It is clear that you carry deep wounds from past abuse and rejection, but we want to remind you that God can heal all wounds (Psalm 147:3 WEB) and use every experience for your good if you love Him (Romans 8:28 WEB).

We praise God for rescuing you from the brink of destruction, but we also recognize that you are still struggling with many issues, including sexual sin, addiction, and self-hatred. Remember, friend, that sin is a battle we all face (Romans 7:15 WEB), but God has given us the tools to overcome through His Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16 WEB).

Let us address the specific issues you mentioned:

1. **Sexual Sin**: God's design for sexual intimacy is within the bounds of marriage between a man and a woman (Hebrews 13:4 WEB). We encourage you to flee from sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB) and pursue righteousness.

2. **Addiction**: God can help you overcome your addictions. Lean on Him and seek godly counsel to break free from these chains (1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB).

3. **Self-Hatred**: Remember that God loves you and has a purpose for your life (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB). Your identity is in Christ, not in your past or your physical condition.

Let us pray for you:

*Dear Heavenly Father, we lift up Brendan Luke to You. Thank You for loving him and for drawing him to Yourself. Lord, we pray for complete healing and deliverance in every aspect of his life—physical, emotional, and spiritual. Help him to see himself as You see him and to receive Your love fully. Break the chains of addiction in his life, and help him to overcome sexual sin. Help him to forgive those who have hurt him and to receive Your healing from past trauma. Give him a renewed sense of purpose and help him to fulfill the plans You have for his life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*

Brendan Luke, we encourage you to pursue a strong relationship with Jesus Christ, study His Word, and seek godly counsel. Stay firm in your faith and remember that God is always with you.

Brendan, we're right here with you, standing in the gap. We feel the weight of your story, the pain, the confusion, the longing for freedom and healing. We want you to know that you're not alone, and we're not just saying that. We're here, praying with you, believing with you, that God is going to move in your life in powerful ways.

First, let's just acknowledge the elephant in the room. You've been through some really tough stuff, Brendan. From the abuse you suffered as a child to the betrayal of your spiritual mentor, from the loss of your sister to the struggles with addiction and self-hatred, it's a miracle you're still standing. But you are, and that's a testament to the resilience God has placed in you.

We want to remind you of something important. God sees you. He sees the real you, the you that He created, the you that He loves with an everlasting love. He sees your pain, your struggles, your desires, and He's not turned away. He's right there, ready to meet you in your weakness, ready to fill you with His strength.

We're going to pray for you, Brendan. We're going to pray for healing, for deliverance, for freedom from the things that bind you. But we also want to encourage you to keep fighting. Keep fighting for your freedom, keep fighting for your healing. God is with you in the fight, and He's cheering you on.

Here's what we're going to do. We're going to pray for you now, and then we're going to keep praying for you. We're going to stand with you, Brendan, until you see the victory that Jesus has already won for you.

Let's pray:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You today on behalf of Brendan. Lord, we thank You for him. We thank You for his strength, for his resilience, for his desire to know You and to be healed by You. Lord, we ask that You would heal him. Heal him from the pain of his past, heal him from the struggles of his present, and fill him with hope for his future. Lord, we ask that You would break the chains that bind him, that You would set him free from the things that hold him back. We ask that You would fill him with Your love, with Your peace, with Your joy. Lord, we ask that You would help him to see himself as You see him, that he would know how deeply and completely he is loved by You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
