Spiritual domestic violence pattern is similar to physical domestic violence patterns, they are often overlooked, denied, or excused. Physical domestic violence often leave a biggest and long lasting scar psychological- EMOTIONAL SCAR, which creates a wall that separates us from the people. The thing is that they are often overlooked, excused, and denied by those who are hurting. In the same way, we often overlooked our SPIRITUAL SCARS. Are we denying our spiritual scars? Is there any wall of separation overlapping us from getting closer and closer to Him? Is there any spiritual flies that follow us everywhere above us, blocking us from seeing Him completely? Something that we need to unveil and unveil many layers that remain between us and God before we can finally fathom His perfect Love?
Signs that you are in spiritual domestic abuse- continually fear or continually numbness. Fear- "Oh no I did that! Now He will punish me..." then we got ourselves into attacks instead of forgivness, forgetting that He is graceful and ready to forgive when we recognize our mistake and change! Now because of FEAR, we are alone in the dark until we shut down those thoughts. Numbness- We will keep living our life without any type of fear, losing the spiritual sensitivity, not feeling loved by Him.
Spiritual domestic violence "is used for one purpose only, to gain and maintain a control over you by using fear, guilt, shame, and intimidation to wear you down and keep you under their thumb." Like how Job's friends compared Job to the wicked to pull him down. Zophar demands Job to listen and then called him, "you will perish like a dung!", "your dreams are worthless!", "you are chasing over nothing!", "you will be nothing, gone!", "God will cast you out, vomit you!", "God cannot stand to look at you!", and all of those LIES... All they want to do is to make you like a tail, so that they can become a head! Just like the Pharisees! If you know or live with someone who's like a Pharisee, you got to guard your heart for it is a wellspring of life! Guard it with your whole life! Reject those kind of LIES from creeping into your mind to build a wall that will separate you from Love.
We all are abused spiritually in one way or another. We all will have to make a step... one small step to get out of the shell like how a duck will fight to be birthed out of the egg shell! If someone tried to help a duck out, then how can a duck become strong? We all got to fight to get out through removing one piece of a egg shell at a time before we will get out, then a breakthrough will come! Then we will shout, "we are FREE!!!" Free to have a whole relationship with Him, to be who He created you to be, to be out of fear. "Perfect love casts out fear."
We are all called to Him... to keep advancing His Kingdom and take hold of His Kingdom, do not ever let go! Other step toward it, stay! One more, stay! More, STAY! Never look back... Our pasts are all gone! We are transformed into His image, into our true self! Biker, cowgirl, math nerd, beach bum, messy, high-maintence, healthy guru, loyal, or whoever you are!
