Nothing but the BLOOD of JESUS

My brothers and sisters in Christ..isn't that one statement so powerful and strong!!!...Nothing but the BLOOD of JESUS...it will set you free, take condemnation off your heart...make us whole again!!!...What a percious gift our Father has given us. Giving up His only Son to suffer for our sins. I beleive whne God looks down on us all He sees is if we are covered in the Blood or if we are not covered. Maybe this is not right, but thts how I feel and what I believe. When we repent and ask for forgiveness of our sins they are forgotten thrown into the sea of forgetfullness. Then we are covered in the Blood of the Cross. How could not that give us peace, and contentment. Now I am not saying it is ok go out and sin to just sin...but we fall and God knows that but when we do fall, we repent ask for forgiveness and then we covered by that wonderful Blood of Jesus...praise God....Hallelujah..God is sooooooo good to us, and we are not worthy...but thank God for His grace and for His son Jesus Christ....

The last couple of weekd I was strufgling with the spirit of condemnation, April has been strggling with some family issues, and others have been being attackd with illness in thier families, and with evil spirits of fear and anxiety.. I justed to remind everyone ( especially myself) that we are covered in the BLOOD of JESUS......the enemy wants us to loose sight of that,,,he can attack us easier if we do..so when we are undr attack Plead the Blood wjen you get up in the morning plead the blood first thing....prais God..and may God Bless all my brothers ad sisters here at this forum....brian

I, too am so sorry for what you had to go through. Thinking about the abuse you and other children have to endure is horrible. But, look at the good that has come of something so evil. You are helping others more than you can know.

I encourage you to read the story of Joseph in the Bible. It is in Genesis. He was not sexually abused as a child but was abused by his brothers. He was sold into slavery as a child and went through a horrible ordeal. But what God did through that, saved millions of people. We can not know why these things happen. I don't believe God "allows" it per say. It is just  a fact of living in a fallen, sinful world. These things break Gods heart, and He does work through them if allowed.  And these perpetraters will pay consequences. We might not see them, but they will have consequences to pay. There is no telling what kind of mental problems or other problems your brother and his friend have that you will never know about.

I am so thankful that you are allowing God to work through this and make something good come of it. Your brother might have commited a horrible act, but just like with Joseph and his brothers, what your brother meant for evil, God took and made something beautiful of it....I commend you for allowing God to do that in your life.

Thank You so much for your reply,It really does help I'm in counselling and telling my story on Medhelp in the abuse forum.I try to get people that have written in about their abuse to get help straight away and not wait until they're in their 40s like me.since I have turned to GOD my life is much easier.I'm also writing in my journal how I'm dealing with and overcoming the abuse.Believe me I realsised what a brave girl she was with GOD in my heart I can do anything.I also quit alcohol and codeine abuse which I used to try to forget the abuse,I drank for 33 yrs and took codeine for 20 yrs just to fog the brain.Now I'm clean everything is at the surface.

You ask some pretty tough questions, narla, and perfectly understandable questions. It's questions I think everyone asks. Why do little children suffer? Why is there so much evil in this world? We may not have all the answers until we get to heaven but the bible says that since the fall of mankind the devil is now the god of this world until Jesus comes back. For some reason, God is allowing Satan full run of the world to do his evil works BUT only so far and God is still the one who is in control over all, even Satan.

We often have to go through some pretty tough times, trials, even as children. The thing about trials is God uses them for several things. He uses them to make us stronger, to teach us compassion, humility, patience, forgiveness.

“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.”  – Romans 5:1-5 (NIV)

If we never had trials, we'd be weak. We wouldn't need God. We'd become arrogant, proud, lacking compassion for others.
Yes, it does seem like some suffer more than others and it's hard to understand why. It's especially hard to see it in children. But God promises to use our trials for good, for us and others. He says He will take what we went through to help others if we let Him.
I urge you to read "Too Small To Ignore" by Dr. Wess Stafford. Wes is the President and CEO of Compassion International. He was the child of missionary parents in a small African village. Growing up, he went to a Christian boarding school along with all the other missionary children. What the parents didn't know was there was a terrible secret going on in that boarding school, a secret the children were threatened to keep to themselves and were terrified enough to do so. These children were abused physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and sexually by the very people these parents trusted! People who claimed to be Christians! Obviously they weren't or they never would have been able to do those atrocious things. Satan had a hold of their hearts, not God.
Because of what Wes went through as a child, he now has such a heart for children that he is leading one of the biggest organizations to help children. His passion is for children and he is doing all he can to make life a little better, a little easier for children who have suffered. God used what Wes went through to make him the man he is today. Only God can do that! Wes could have allowed this horrible thing that happened to him to ruin his life, to make him bitter, unforgiving and turn his back on God. It could have destroyed him. But Wes decided to turn this around to help other children, to make something of this, to not let the suffering he went through be wasted. He turned it around for good. God turned this around for good.

There are so many more like Wes out there, and you. God wants to provide healing and restoration for all of you as only God can do.

Another good book to read is "As Silver Refined" by Kay Arthur. I recommend you read the first book first, though, the "Too Small To Ignore". You are not alone. There are many out there who have gone through the same things you have and were able to allow God to bring good out of it. It sounds like you are well on your way on that path and I praise God for that! God is already working on your heart and spirit, I can tell. It can take time for healing. Just let God love on you and rest in His arms. He will restore you and use this terrible time to some day help others. He never lets suffering go to waste, never. All our tears He bottles up. All our prayers and cries to Him He hears and holds on to. He does not take any of this lightly. Some day we will understand fully. Right now we can only see the reflection dimly as though through a dark glass but He will reveal everything to us someday, He promises. Some day we will receive our crowns for those who persevere and run the race and don't give up. We are participating in the suffering of Christ right now but some day we will participate in the glory of Christ too. And what a day that will be!

I hope any of this helps. Please know I in no way am taking what you went through lightly. I am so glad you were able to turn your life over to Christ and trust in Him. He is not only worthy but trustworthy.
My prayers are with you as you go through this journey of life towards the giver of life as all the rest of us are. Let's keep our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. I pray you will experience the peace that surpasses all understanding as only He can give. God bless you, narla.

In the verse you wrote above one of the lines is,The LORD will keep you from all harm-Please help me understand this when I was a victim of incestuous child sexual abuse at ages 7 to 10 by my brother who is 10 yrs older than me and his friend.I'm a Christian and I've asked GOD to come into my heart I have felt his presence in me,This all only happened 2 months ago and I'm finding some things hard to reconcile with my LORD and saviour.I have asked for forgiveness for my sins and my belief and faith is growing every day.But I don't understand why as a child I was not kept from harm,can you please try and help me with this,I find it contradictary and confusing.

Iron sharpens iron.
In my opinion we need to really take all the truths God Promises us as His Children and let them penatrate into our lives..it's kinda like Salvation, it's a gift but if not recieved it has no value....sometimes we get so down in our bodies, world, flesh that we forget Who we have Living inside of us..the same Power that raised Christ from the grave Lives in us Whoa!!!!  How powerful is that.
BUT:  All those promises God has given us comes with obediance to a Holy God, a personal relationship and making Him the Lord of our life.  Am I perfect, no!  but I know the One Who is and I choose to bow down and worship Him now and make Him the ruler of my life, love Him, serve Him be His vessel on this earth to further His Kingdom to His Glory forever and ever!  Praise God for His Mercies endure forever!  
Most days I fail miserably but when I'm led by the Spirit that lives in me, may He be Glorified!

As a child of the Living God He tells me in His Word that never changes Thank You Jesus that as a God fearing lady I am more precious than diamonds and rubies, joint heirs in Christ Jesus, Justified, Reconcilled, Set apart, the head and not the tail, a saint, preist, Loved, Protected, made strong, never never forsaken, my feet are firmly planted on the Rock of my Salvation, Gods Mercy endures forever, He never changes, yet when I was still a sinner Christ died for me <3 servant of the Lord Almighty, gave us peace at the cross and for that I want to Thank Him, Praise Him, Honor Him, serve Him, sing to Him for who the Son set free is free indeed!  
Faith without works is dead and we will have to stand before a Holy God and give an account for what we did but by our Faith in Christ we have His imputed Righteousness and no longer seperated from a Holy God.  Praise God <3
