Abuse Within A Family (God Through Anne Terri With The Holy Spirit:)
Apostle Colleen Etana, you have brought forward your strong story through My Prompt, one which you share with many who have grown up in an abusive household. This and stories like yours, are the reasons I Have Brought Forward, My Commandments For A Modern Time. You have graciously allowed Me to Share this with others, to help them heal as you are.
Remember, no matter what My Children have done to one another, I FORGIVE them, when they Forgive those who have trespassed against them. This is the Highest Form of Love.
The lowest, is an abusive/obsessive form of love, which is unnatural. It is a good Love which has turned evil. To Forgive, is difficult when the abusive levels are so high on earth. This helps one to heal and to exile all evil within themselves, for when abuse is present, evil is present. Taking abuse to protect others, or because one loves the abuser is dangerous.
Remember, when I Shared with you, that some of what was written within The New Testament as said by Jesus, was not said in the way it is written? Yes your soul is very important, but this does not mean to allow others to abuse your body, or to become a martyr. It takes much strength in character to receive such abuse and still Forgive. Jesus asked Me to forgive them, for they knew not what they were doing. This does not mean he died for everyone's sins, but because those who tortured and Crucified him, did not understand how wrong it was, for evil had taken over.
I Ask all who are in an abusive situation to seek help and sanctuary as soon as humanly possible, if possible. If one waits too long, it may lead to murder in a violent rage.
AMEN"
"Apostle Colleen Etana - Writes of Love, and Abuse (God Through Apostle Colleen Etana With The Holy Spirit)
Love has many faces and wears many disguises, and ofttimes many secrets. There are many kinds of love as You say, and as I have experienced, not all positive. I have not known the love of a True Father until now. And I know many others haven't either.
There is a human mother's love for a child. A Father's love for a child. Their love for each other, which isn't always healthy. Grandmotherly and grandfatherly love. Brother or sisterly love. Love for best or close friends. Love for Creation. Love for pets or other animals. Love of a child for their parent. Love of an animal for it's human.
And then there's love I have for You, which exceeds anything I have ever known. It is hard for me to imagine Your all encompassing love for me, or that anyone could love me that way, and all that it means, when my biological father was so very violent, abusive, and terrorized my beautiful mother, (thank You we had her), and us children with his temper and rages.
For me, I was not able to have children in this life, so was not able to experience a mother's love for her child. But I can imagine it and I have imagined it many, many times Father. There is nothing that I wouldn't do for my child if I had one. But someday they must be kicked out of the nest, so to speak, so they may fly on their own. That also is love, letting them go. Loving from a distance sometimes. Allowing them to just grow, being there if they need you to comfort them I suppose, now and then.
I helped my mother pack her car and run away from my human father, at age fourteen. She had to and I tried to be strong for my three younger brothers. But I, in turn, had to run away just a few months later and leave them all behind, for I could not stay, for reasons that are also mentioned in my biography here, and quite graphically so. I do not tell my story for sympathy, but because many have the same story and don't know how to get out of it and heal themselves. I think I am what's called an icebreaker. It helps others to feel like they can talk about it if I start the conversation and break the ice with as much candidness as possible. It allows them to be honest with themselves and others, much like keeping a diary or journal does, so we can "get it out" and get other's advice or perspective(s) on how to process and heal from it.
I struggled with the guilt of leaving them behind to face the monster, without a mother or older sister, for years. As I got older and sought counseling and help, I had to realize and know, that I could not have helped them anyway, and it truly was not a little girl's responsibility to protect her other family members. I was the peacemaker and would pray that he would take it out on me, rather than them, because I told myself I could handle it. I told myself that it didn't matter what happened to my body, they could never have my soul. That is how I strengthened and steeled myself and truly still stands today. As in scripture where it says we shouldn't fear what can happen to the body, but fear only what could happen to the soul.
I don't believe in "Spare the rod and spoil the child". That only leads to abuse as far as I'm concerned, but many still believe this particular scripture and I think they use it as justification for abusing their children. Of course I know that was not Your Word for You would never advocate something like that.
I'm also learning that to pull away and detach from my own earthly family is also a form of love for myself, as well as protection for me, for they also still suffer from PTSD, short tempers themselves, are abusive, and addictions, that I just cannot stand to be around anymore, and You have told me that I and my brother's love must stay intact.
I am finding out that I don't need them to exist and be happy, and am not here on this earth, in some kind of misunderstanding, that says I am responsible for taking care of them anymore, or I need to put up with them, even if they really need it through circumstances of their own making, especially since they are now adults and will not seek help for themselves.
How can people be taught to believe in a Heavenly Father's Love, when they never had an earthly father's love demonstrated by example, and how can we explain it to others when they have nothing to compare it to on earth?
I also wanted to let You know that I would be honored if You wanted to use anything I write as lessons, for my life is an open book, and I truly do not mind because it's helpful to others.
Thank You.
AMEN"
