Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free….John 8:32.
The theme for this year is HOPE! The following question was sent to me a few days ago. She wanted me to include her name because she is far enough along on her Unintended Journey to be free of any shame and she wants people to know this kind of rape really happens. Well, her story may not seem like it has hope in it, but it does. She is on the Recovery Road. When I have given workshops on this topic, it is amazing how many who attend have either experienced it, or have tried to work with someone who describes it and has not understood or believed their counselee; suddenly they understood. A real ‘Aha’ experience. The Code of Silence is strong, but God is stronger….
As a survivor of coerced sexual violence as a teen and young adult, I still have the demonic violence in “dreams.”. I put it in quotes because it’s not just a pretend story that I’m thinking while I sleep, it’s real. When I realize what’s happening, I try to demand them to stop in Jesus’ name, but often it seems to do no good. When I call to Jesus or Daddy or Holy Spirit, I wake up, but often I can’t go back to sleep. I have 8 kids whose childhood has been robbed of a well rested mommy, or a mommy who has to sleep-in a lot. I know that deliverance is so near, I’m just trying to find the way. I have had people pray for me and some deliverance ministry. Please pray that God will show me the next step. Thank you.
