Say, thank you for having me. Thank you, Fat. Albert die from Bundling means the back of a car driving out that gum and telling me this. So I'm going to be today
They just want to share with you just a little bit of my story and a few months ago, I write this testimony down and I was really notched by Jesus, to, to talk about women and about women coming to face. And I want to share with you this morning three stories about three women who have faced pain and Trauma at the hands of men. Best I want to share with you a story of a young woman. She's 23. She's a mother. She's my right-hand really hurtful of a lifelong marriage of love and love. So what did she get? She got her mom. So controlling and manipulative that she thought she was getting crazy there. So the out by the lies for constant and normal feature of every day. Tipicos one-day thing in the streets with no shoes on having fled the house, cradling her small baby. As he followed child screaming in her face, the baby Frozen with fear the mom working out if she should run a cult We'll just that and get them with that. Knowing the inevitable was an assault. She manages to call her mom to help and her parents arrived. He has hold of her so tightly by her arrest that she's unable to tell her parents exactly what was happening and just put the baby in the car, knowing at least the baby would be safe today.
She makes him fake excuses and they leave. I'm not night. She was far from safe.
No one will want Chi. You are worthless. You're mad. I'm going to tell the world about you. You're a bad mother and you don't do what you should do as my wife. Brazen by West Frozen by SIA, never did she fight back? Pregnant again, Fayetteville for life. She tries to terminate the child knowing that she may not survive. If she has another baby, so she does this without any salt for that pregnancy.
Eventually, she finds an opportunity to leave. By the way, has remained and I had and she doesn't have a soul. What's been happening?
The second one. I want to talk to you about the lady in her late twenties and thirties. She's a piece of ass. She joined the police to make a difference. She wants you to help women from Sister. How everybody?
He was so sick of sitting quietly on the sidelines and letting men take control. So she thought this was Hawaii. At the uniformed officers. She was surrounded by men on her shift and acutely aware of the old boys club.
She found they look down on high. She was not a strong notice quick, notice mail. Stories Rashad's. Retired from older female Officer says, he said, things like you should have seen it in all day, you put it easy. Albertsons with date. Stamped if you made an arrest and we was sent out on foot patrol to keep us thin. As if there was nothing to complain about.
Unwanted sexual advances made by colleagues at every opportunity as stories of Conquest shared with the women involved, but not real people. A stream of difficult jobs in crimes came in as what she was hundred every victim, but the understanding that she was a woman, shouldn't I want to say she struggled to survive said she changed. She joined the boys club. She's frightfully of other women. Socialize only with boys became more aggressive, more Angry smoke, controlling, Has survival with certified Honda.
Finally, I share with you a woman in her forties. It was given the news that the most of her relationship with her husband. She has not been the only woman in his life and faxed over 15 years. They were more than he was able to account for. Devastated by this betrayal, the heart-wrenching reality that she has no idea who he really was. And then he pretended, he played the character of this whole time.
She felt sick that she's allowed him to bond with her daughter and father, the second all the time she had no idea.
She learns that man has the ability to hurt you without even touching you. She lands that she just couldn't trust men.
Alarm isolated ashamed. She chose not to tell anyone what happened for the first few weeks. She moved him out, and she stopped in the house. Trying to be a mother trying not to break. This woman knew that whatever happened. She couldn't stay where she was. She couldn't bad to walk down the road just wondering. Cuz you mean, of course, everybody must know that she has been so stupid.
Since you got the Vibes, I moved. 300 miles away.
Some of these women have in common that will stuck in a flight fight or freeze response. That body's a pumped full of cortisol that suffering with a physical effects of Tru unable to trust, unable to feel safe and able to be truthful exhausted.
Let me look at the commonality to that belief system. These women who believed, man, a dangerous man should not be trusted man. Will Hachi and man will take anything good and hit you up.
The other common factor that you may have wiped out. All of these women are actually me.
My story resulted in me, living in a place of a tumor response for 20 years, highly anxious ways in survival mode, mineral resilience, hyper-vigilant terrified and exhausted.
now, why am I telling you all the best simply so I can tell you the Jesus story that runs alongside at
My husband who has had many of Fez was suicidal when he came to face and met Jesus.
I was stabbed.
Honest Anna. And I went to church to support my husband. I tried to help keep them alive. Unless I was saying I receive great kindness in the community you told me repeatedly. God has a plan for you.
Please wax made me angry like I was being controlled and manipulated all over again. I chemical conversations with the man in touch about face and one, the founder of a very large group of judges You thought that I was rude, passive aggressive. I'm a terrible excuses as to why I could not let God into my life. Honda Activa surrenda play Soul. If you do bad things at the foot of the cross, quite frankly was a hard knife for me. I want you to fight and run but I couldn't. Because my husband needed me and not many men. And at that point, God was really the only thing keeping him here when I couldn't leave if not for me. But for my children, oh my goodness. I wanted to
However, long side, the fights people, place the hands on me in prayer and I felt it, I felt the Holy Spirit and I cried so much. I so I would never ever stop. I started to pray everyday, I told Jesus, I didn't trust him, I couldn't trust him. And I had no idea if I could ever change that. I even tried to negotiate. I know Jesus that you're the Son of God and I truly believe it all, but can I come and not trust you? My felt this warm hugs on my shoulders dropped, and for the first time in what felt like forever, I took a full breath.
Now, of course Jesus knows. He knows everything when he knew exactly what to do. And I found myself entering into a personal question of Truth as an exit as an ex-detective. I needed hard I'm just speaks about evidence. I could trust them that young wife and me needed to feel safe and no it wasn't going to suck me, hot me. And to know that he wasn't lying and I asked Jesus to help me learn that he was safe enough to hold me.
Jesus really stepped up in support of my quest says he does last driving showering or buying a loaf of bread. I was suddenly had chapter did not know the Bible. Well enough, to be able to you subconsciously direct myself to any relevant scripture. Scripture question I'd rise. Do I increase my time on Tuesday to my problems.
I asked Jesus real.
And he directed me to Matthew, 13:17. I tell you the truth, many prophets in Rochester people, long to see what you see, but they didn't see it and they longed to hear what you hear and I didn't hear it. And I felt it. I felt him.
Price of S-Type, what's in the New Age spiritual space. And my business started to fall away before hitting the drawing board for a rebound on a new project. I just asked Jesus what to do. When he sent me to 1 Timothy. I have nothing to do with Godless, Mason old, wives, tales, rather, train yourself to be Godly. And without a question,
Shop a little dumbfounded by just gave up on my business but I've worked really hard on terrified that I've done this on the way Jesus. The weather for Mom.
Along the way I would seek counsel from Christian women. I got some questions. Look for reassurance and study. I said Snippets of how terrified I was to surrender to Jesus and was confusing. You met with kindness and phrases like so scary. I've been straight but why I had was this photo sets of positivity. I kind of just getting the guy. So right over here was I was experiencing hours of stopping fear and pain and I just begged Jesus to help me. I stepped away. I put my Bible to buy. I didn't think 10. I couldn't 15. My favorite is. That man could hurt you and women will lie to you. I was stuck. I checked out.
But Jesus never left me. Don't like he was always sitting in the passenger seat of my car, just coming with me. Just waiting for my thoughts, and my prayers, and he started to give me scripture for other people found inside some spaces. People was grateful for the God's wise, and they want me to have a question, why I was sending it to them. Jesus. Take the show me, how special women were and he continually wave, proverbs 31 at me and gave me instructions to learn to be a Christian wife. He showed me, we are empowered by Christ to love and to live as he wanted us to my found, my heart softening, my body will remain, as I was gently molded by him.
Not letting to be a Christian wife, is fun and terrifying. What Jesus had to pay with a set of rules. I know, I only have to trust him why it was so hard to trust my husband.
I have to allow my husband to become the head of our household, handing him over Rising power and trust but he wouldn't have me with that. We were at Todd's, we prayed and read together and we tried to understand what was expected of price of us and how we could switch communication Styles and expectations. And so come together in this very different way. I have to learn not to go sit with my friends about him, not to mention about him and to accept our grade and gendered Rose. The honor him to accept that, we could not fix each other, but to make time for each other to pray for each other and to hold God as number one.
Now, we are far from the perfect example of a Christian marriage. But he transformed us.
He transformed everything that we had allowing us to forgive the pain and to find strength in the guidance daily Jesus. Having pus I feel like Jesus was really clever with the star. She did teach me to trust him to trust my husband and he showed me that my husband's can hold me safely. And that marriage doesn't have to sit around pain Sia or trauma. I love change for each other into something. I didn't really have the words for except maybe beautiful.
Jesus knows every part of my story. He knows in great detail, the Y on the web for and he nudged me, so was the freedom in Christ program. Jesus save me the women who didn't just smile and Nod he showed me. The people who always understand It would not matter hurt me. We shared only prize, how many days it? God was doing something huge with all of us and we was so excited. Jesus help me to forgive my sins for how I behaved. Need help me to give the man that had me and surprisingly pulled the rug from underneath me, when he asked me to repent for the abortion I've had in my early twenties. For the first time I grieve that baby. I solved and I cried and I cried a bit Mall. I knew it was wrong to have made that choice and I now know that my baby's house safely and have fun with God's a pathic, little bundle. I felt like Jesus was making me stand up and be accountable. I have been evicted him. How do I say send? And I should acknowledge and say sorry for my parts of the story. This was strangely empowering to pull back the curtain and show me the I was not perfect. And I had made bad decisions along the way.
Respectful word to my baptism. I was so nervous and stuff. It all week with the enemy's voice in my head telling me I didn't have a testimony. Nobody cats and don't forget man is going to destroy you.
I'm genuinely in that moment when I was submerged under the water, I saw a silence like never before a piece and a womb. It felt like I was under the water for hours. And I came up the brightness in the excitement rush to me because I was different, I was on fire for God and I want you to sing and dumps are the hours of Morrison and I was ready to be out the 7th, I was ready to whack.
Maybe the coming days and weeks I asked Jesus to give me some scripture and very impatient that would help me to understand my path. Help me to know what I meant to do. Jesus told me that he would take hold of the darkness and use it to help others. Are you sent me to Philippians 4:3? Yes, and I asked you, my True Companion help these women. Since they have contended, at my side in the Kohl's. It's a gospel along with Clement and the rest of my pay whack cuz he's named are in the Book of Life. But here I am.
The one I asked God, why I need you to give this tool and what do people need to know? I thought that the whole point. Was to provide some salt in the way that we reach out to women the way that we decide for others and encourage them to face. I know the phrase trauma-informed is trying to round a lot these days, but perhaps there is a space for us to be a little more trauma-informed. When we meet women, do we know so desperately need Jesus in the live. If we strip away the language around, trauma, what we know it is we need to meet these women where they are in that moment not to flash them with positivity, your promises of hype, just to make them feel safe enough to share with you what's really going on. So validate an acknowledged that feelings and fears. Not just trying to explain them away. We'll compare them two examples of suffering in the Bible. I need to get in the holes with them. When is the Houston safely built that? I'm ladders out? Let's not be tempted to be effects of a respectful thing. At first, we need to let them do that. Building at that own pace. Gently sprinkling them with love and prayer. We need to try that last. We hold our hands. Jesus is all the hard work. We need to be patient and consistent and gentle for these women. When a stuck in survival mode, actual pop, the Fat Brain shut down to keep them hyper-vigilant, vidangel. We need to gently help them to reset the balance. So they have a space to learn and to question and to reach out. The language is key. It's not when you come it, if you think it's right for you, if we can make women feel safer and Empower them to be in a position of choice and be ready to hold them but the Living Word. When they ask for it, we will perhaps see more women's that out of the cycle of pain and abuse and find safety in Jesus.
Jesus was the final piece of my healing Circle. He made me feel complete safe. But of course, what I know now is that Jesus is the only piece I needed for. He is the way in the lights.
And I really hope something that I said this morning as resonated will perhaps just be filed away for when you meet a woman, that's had a difficult story. You'll maybe give up a claim with adults or a nickel has always been there and shoved to the back. If that's you take me to a whole I would just jump in with you and we'll work out how we can say lie that you build Ryan Latta. Thank you so much for listening. I really appreciate your time.
Thanks Claire.
If you were worried that I've got a
Three quarters of an hour. Sermon the 10 points you couldn't. You can breathe again. It's okay.
Seaaca add to that.
Testament is a powerful thing. Because you cannot argue with it.
Why did I want to bring Claire? Here today.
Because that wave that is going out and has been going out, but I told you about that tsunami. That way very soon will turn. And start coming in.
And when it comes in, it is going to float, the Claire's with it.
This church will not grow. Perfect 10, the perfect marriage with a 2.4 kids that I mean that sit quietly and do exactly as their forget.
There's a lot of hurting people up there, and I guess there are Claire's there today. Struggling. And I just really want to encourage you in your prayer time. I want you to eat my mind, courage meant to you, is that you start praying for the Claire's right there.
Bible says, that the fervent prayer is a word. We don't use much, is it? The varsity game the other day.
I looked it up.
At least persistent passionate.
You get passionate about it. Okay, it's not. Oh, well, we will pop in the prayer meeting, then I will pray for those folks out there. I'm in this lovely. You need to go about it. Why? Because they're yours that your church, they belong to Jesus.
They are not the enemy. He has no right to them. And you're going to take them out of his hand.
Do I say go for it when you get together in prayer, just go for it. Don't hold back. Oftentimes to British wear to stiff upper lip.
I shared with our prayer meeting. we have primaries getting on the Monday night from Check the Sabbath prayer meeting the other day and I freaking friend from Nigeria some years ago. He was a Nazi amazing man of God. And I've been in prayer meetings with him. He would get off of the chair that he was sitting on. He would turn around. A, he would kneel in front of that chair. And that we were praying for the law, he would not share with his fist. I don't even go that way. You're not having them, they belong to Jesus. They are going to come to him, nine ones and twos, but they're going to come to him.
He was a nice. He was praying for the lock. The tears were running down his face.
That's how passionate he walks.
Encourage you. Stop at the side of britishness.
Get in it. About the Lost.
because if you aren't going to fight for them, who is
Are they alright there today? They are hurting today.
They will be there tomorrow.
And is there tomorrow? It's going to be different than today.
Will depend on you.
Can I put that responsibility back on you? I don't have it but I put it back on you. Camel.
You stole high-strung, it made those girls when they drink their arms together.
Do Zion prayer when you get together for a prayer meeting you link together. You take on one of us, you take on all of us devil.
Because we serve a mighty God.
Don't listen. DeWalt, the enemy tells you,
Oh well, it's too big, a project.
They're too many of them. If a boiled, come here would be overwhelmed, anyway.
There's only one thing that the enemy can do with you. I'm not lie to you. He wouldn't know what the truth was, if it walked up and hit them.
He's the father of Lies. So whatever he tells you how plausible hit main Style?
He is lying to you.
there is only one place is that you will get the truth from
The truth is tightened in Jesus. He never liked anybody. He was sometimes direct with the truth but you never lied to anybody.
It's where it says know the truth. And the truth will set you free.
You might say, why do we know what the will of God is? I want to see Z. The will of God is his worth. What is this word say? He wants none to be lost, none.
None of the Claire's that are right there today. Ghosted. I want. None of them lost know any of them.
So, I encourage you.
Got fire vent in your prayers. Mean business with God.
This morning.
if you don't know Jesus, as your personal savior,
If you've never known him.
And yet, I should listen to Clair story this morning.
I would encourage you, there is a Jesus that comes through against the olds.
He's just amazing. And you can trust him with your life.
Let's Claire learn to trust him. You can learn to trust him. I thought you this moment, I want you to deposit today for sure. They would love to introduce you. To all Jesus. He's amazing.
Show me finish this last thing.
Don't get the end of your life saying.
I wish.
I wish I had done this. I wish I had taken this opportunity. I wish I had got involved with, I wish.
Don't get there.
If God has told you to do something,
do it.
May, you may have to hold your breath as you do it. All right, and you may need to get support from the pastor and the elders are whatever as you do it, but do it.
Because there is a new move of God that starting to flow through this country.
And it's slowing with people between the ages of about 13 or 14. Through 2 of 835.
And they are seeking something out in life. They know that there is something more to life.
And they're seeking out something spiritual.
I didn't is just an amazing opportunity for the church because we know who they're looking for.
Be part of what God's doing.
Somebody mentioned something about feasting.
So, we will be disappearing after the meeting.
So, if you want to talk to Claire Holt, okay. So you won't like if she does tell me and I'll do the right.
Come to address. I mean, it's fine.
Sensitive spirit this morning. This this morning. You just feel that your life has gone a bit flat spiritually. That you haven't quite got that. You used to have that, you are kind of not getting up in the morning with passion. For Jesus is that you used to have
I just know the girl just wants to refill you with his holy spirit.
Because he needs you firing on all cylinders.

And that's it. God bless you. Thank you ever so much for allowing us to be here today. There is such a warm glow of the holy spirit in this room. When you all got here. It was just beautiful.
But get ready cuz this room ain't big enough.
