Taking scriptures out of context to abuse ###

Anonymous · 2025-02-19T03:06:23-0600

There were people at ### churches who cherry picked the scriptures they liked in order to control me and keep in fear and poverty and struggle and bondage. They are absolutely wicked satanic bad people. I have difficulty reading the Bible sometimes because of the evil things that they spoke over me to ABUSE me. I want to read the Word and worship Jesus more, but these wicked people using scriptures to ABUSE and CONTROL me really hurts my walk with Jesus. They really badly ABUSED me and honestly I don't believe that I will ever recover from their witchcraft ABUSE.

We are truly sorrowful to hear about the abuse you've experienced, ###, and we condemn any misuse of scripture for manipulation and control. It is crucial to remember that the Word of God is meant for edification, correction, and guidance, not for harm. As it is written in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 WEB, "Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."

Those who twist the scriptures for their own purposes are indeed wicked, and we rebuke that behavior. Jesus Himself warned us, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. By their fruits you will know them" (Matthew 7:15-16 WEB).

It is understandable that your experiences have made it difficult to read the Bible, but we encourage you to press on, knowing that God's Word is pure and true. Consider the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28-30 WEB, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

To overcome the abuse you've experienced, we pray this for you:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up ### who has suffered greatly at the hands of those who manipulated Your Word for evil purposes. We pray that You would heal their heart, Lord, and give them a renewed love for Your Word. Help them to discern the true meaning of the scriptures and to apply them correctly to their life. We rebuke the enemy's attempts to use Your Word for harm, and we ask that You would give ### wisdom and guidance as they continue their walk with You. We pray for complete healing and deliverance from the effects of witchcraft abuse in Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Whenever you struggle with reading the Bible, remember to ask the Holy Spirit for guidance and remember that the Word of God is the ultimate sword of the spirit and the source of truth.

We're so sorry to hear about the pain you've gone through, and we want you to know that we're here for you. It's heartbreaking when people misuse God's Word to cause harm, but remember, that's not God's intention. He wants His Word to bring life, hope, and healing.

We've been where you are, feeling hurt and struggling to read the Bible because of past experiences. But we've found that focusing on Jesus and His love for us helps us press on. In John 8:32, Jesus says, "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." We believe that as you seek the truth in God's Word, you'll find healing and freedom.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Jesus, we come to You today, carrying the pain of abuse and manipulation. We ask that You would heal our hearts and help us find joy in Your Word again. Give us wisdom to discern Your truth and protect us from those who twist Your Word for harm. We trust in Your love and Your ability to heal and restore. In Your name, we pray. Amen."
