Child Sexual Abuse

Because of this fallen world, we were all born sinners in need of a Saviour, and Jesus Christ is that Saviour. You are saved ONLY when you believe in Jesus, after trusting His finished work on the cross...His death, burial, and resurrection, from which He took your place, for the death penalty of ALL your past, present, and future, sins.

Salvation is just simply believing in Jesus, after trusting in the death, burial, and resurrection, of Jesus Christ our Lord. No demands are put on you, to be saved. No demands are put on you, after you are saved. Salvation is nothing more than trusting our Saviour Jesus Christ, and what He has done on our behalf.

Unsaved people are under Satan's control until they see the light of the glorious Gospel, and trust Christ's payment for their sins.

The Gospel Declared:

Romans 3:24,25,26 (KJB)
[24] Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
[25] Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
[26] To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Will you believe in Jesus, after believing that Jesus, the only begotten son of God, shed his blood and died to pay for your sins and rose from the tomb that you may be saved from the penalty of sin and receive the gift of eternal life? If yes, according to the bible you are...saved!

Here are wonderful truths, for the believer...

Every single sin in your life, past, present, and future sins, have all been imputed (charged) to Christ's account, and you can never be charged for any sin again, unless you don't believe.

Romans 5:1 (KJB)
1. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJB)
8. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9. Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Colossians 2:13b (KJB)
"...having forgiven you all trespasses;"

2 Corinthians 5:18-19 (KJB)
18. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19. To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Ephesians 1:13 (KJB)
13. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Colossians 2:6-10 (KJB)
6. As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
7. Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

(An article by David "Bucker" Becker, 2006)

The devil is attempting to destroy the souls of our children when they are young, through the perverse sexual abuse, to prevent them from growing into strong Christian faithful. Young victims of sexual abuse know the terrible price they pay as adults for being raped as children, and the perverted sexual molesters have a certain arrogance and confidence as they have watched family members support them and expel the victim with hatred. So, two people know the truth for sure, and probably alot more if you count up the other victims that are abused when the abuser gets away with it the first few encounters. And God surely, most certainly, knows the truth. The abused's own family also knows, as adulthood is reached, and the ghosts of past continually haunt their souls.

Child sexual abuse victims don't blame innocent people when they grow up. When the full realization of the impact of sexual abuse has hit them forcefully, usually when the raising of their own children creates a need to define right and wrong in their protection, the adult victim is crushed with emotion, fear, sickness, obsessiveness, compulsiveness, craziness and lingering guilt; the crippling effect of childhood sexual abuse to a grown victim that realizes the magnitude of the victimization is no less that a soldier experiencing the effects of post traumatic stress disorder.

But adult victims suffer from one more condition that is almost always suffered only by children of very traumatic events in their victimized life... They split. When a child is being brutally raped, or gently prodded into performing acts that they know to be nasty, it is difficult for them to deal with it. So what they do is they split themselves into two people (now I'm not talking schizophrenia or the five faces of Eve...I'm talking about a survival technique that has been used by prisoners of war); they seal a part of their soul so it can't be dirtied by the abuser. Depending on the age and maturity and amount of abuse, and the love they have for their family to cause them to keep the "secret" determines how tightly this part of them is sealed. During their growing up time, if the abuse is continued, the children are usually resilient and able to partially function as if nothing is happening. But look out for adulthood! At some point that abused child is going to grow up, and that soul is going to be opened up (usually by someone they trust showing them real love), and when that soul touches the dirtiness placed within that body by the devil himself, the real battle begins. When the precious, protected soul of the adult meets the dirtiness of the sin placed upon them, there is a battle, and everyone that loves the adult victim is affected someway. The loving family members often hear over and over of the abuse, and watch the tears be triggered, and then the anger, and then the shame. The cycle goes over and over and over, and lives are ruined because it is a terrible burden that is almost insurmountable.

But there is hope. Victims can throw their agony and pain upon the cross of Jesus and praise God in Heaven from finally being released from the most traumatic of human attacks. Jesus Christ has saved abused victims from all walks of life, and I have praised God that they have become some of my strongest Christian brothers and sisters because of their victory over the wiles of Satan!

But there still is a sad part to this. Childhood sexual victims can lose their families, friends, including Christian friends and their fellowship. They can be and are attacked and demeaned as liars, whores or lunatics, and fakes. They are pushed out and separated from their first families, and their siblings, uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents, and friends have told lies about them. These lies are told by the family in fear that the victim will blame them publicly for the crime, and for not protecting the them, and it is much easier to tighten the family into a ball of lies all blaming the victim, than to confront the devil in their midst and demand an accounting.

Don't ever, ever doubt that the adult victim is telling the truth; a child might lie (but probably not). a sane adult would never put themselves through this much pain to spread lies. If the adult victim says they were abused, then they were abused. Don't expect the abused adult to sit down with you after all that has happened and discuss it; they don't trust you, they don't trust anyone that has disbelieved or attacked them in the past. They are barely holding on to themselves as it is, and it is only their faith that keeps them pushing forward. For God's sake, don't attack their faith and ridicule their hope in God to be pretentious, fake or hypocritical! For most, that is the only thing they have that keeps them sane! Going for the jugular by attacking their relationship with God might remove their irritating reminders from this life, but you will answer one day to God! Beware! I, as an abused victim, and who has turned gay because of my abuse, have been attacked constantly for my faith, and my relationship with God.

One in four girls, and one in five boys will experience sexual abuse before they reach the age of 18. Children, on average, must report this abuse eight times before an adult will believe them and take action. The abuse most often is from a family member, who welds control over the child through intimidation, and the abuser counts on the victims vulnerability to keep the dirty secrets hidden. Victims of sexual abuse should not have to struggle with the things of darkness that enter into their world after their innocence is snatched away, but they do repeatedly, because they have no one in their lives to help them escape. When we hear about the sexual abuse of young ones, we rightfully condemn the wicked and lustful acts of the perpetrator, and shout out our repulsion of their acts, but we fail our children daily when we blind ourselves to the dangers within our own communities.

The reality for Christians is this...the devil will try to destroy as many innocent souls as he can before they are able to mature to the place of trusting the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour. He does this by controlling the lust of the heathen, to bring the dirtiness of sexual shame upon young victims, and keeps those victims believing they are unworthy to receive the things of God. The devil isn't stupid. He chooses his victims with care, making sure that the young ones are vulnerable to the pervert's threats to keep the all important secret. He chooses the households where the focus is not on the children, but on the drama of the adults. He chooses the homes where the woman will sacrifice one of her young for the stability and companionship of the same man that will abuse her child in the dark, behind closed doors. The devil chooses to find those innocent victims that might one day grow to conquer his hold, and snatches their ability before they reach that awareness through the shame, rejection and dirtiness of his lustful ways.

Our Kids are Our Business! As Christian leaders we must take strong stands and shout from our bully pulpits that children matter most, and protection can be found within our presence! As for those of us who are in Christ, we must stand up and be counted as willing to provide sanctuary, to support victims, to seek justice and hold the abuser accountable, and to embrace those rejected as a result of that secret being exposed. If we do not stand against this wicked movement of the devil, then our proclamations of faith are weak and unworthy. In Bible times of old, the sacrifice of children were made for the false Gods, and we are horrified to consider those things of past could have happened. Every time a child is subjected to the sexual abuse of a pervert, he is being sacrificed to the god of lust. Every time a child must keep a secret in order to be safe, that child is being sacrificed. Every time a child is not protected by other family members from the horrible abuses of the devil, that child is being sacrificed. Every time a mother turns a blind eye to the child's torture, that child is being sacrificed. Every time a community ignores the problems of the sexual abuse of their children, then not only are the children sacrificed, but also the standards of decency, honor and righteousnesses thrown to the ground. How the devil delights in treading upon the victims and the blind communities as he establishes another foothold, for another day and another innocent child.

The sexual abuse of children is the devil's most wicked work. The Catholic Church is not the only place where the sexual abuse of innocent children has robbed them of hope and life within the spiritual realm. It is happening every day, in every place, in every way and it is directed by Lucifer himself, as he leads weak men and women with perverse and lustful desires to complete their self love through the rape of children. It is not about sex to the victimized child. It is about the "secret" that must be kept to prevent others from learning the dirtiness that has been done. The child believes it is his fault and probably deserved, yet becomes sickened by the acts of nastiness that is forced upon his body. A circle of self blame begins, and a confusion of identity quickly follows. Soon an abused child feels unworthy of life, and unworthy of God. When the sexually abused children grow to adulthood, the secret grows with them. It cripples them with feelings of unworthiness and dirtiness, and life choices are made based on wicked secrets of horror. One slip of the tongue, one accident of emotion, one thought of speaking of the act, constantly plays within the mind of the victim, and prevents them from working through their innocence and the violator's guilt. Family and friends add to the victim's pain, as lies are spread to cover the tracks of the abuser. Words of disbelief are spoken, and charges of lies and maliciousness brought against the victim, as the abuser walks away without blame.

Here's the irony of the devil's most wicked works... The perverted and dirty sexual abuser can receive salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ, if the sexual abuser only trusts Christ work on Calvary's cross, done on their behalf. His sins will be forgiven, and he will live forever, as a result of his faith. The sexually abused child victims are made unworthy and dirty, and unable physically or spiritually to accept that they have a right to survive and choose a life they want. To think that they even have a right to approach the cross of Jesus Christ is taken away from them the moment they are raped by the devil himself.

If you are a Christian that once was guilty of sexually abusing children, and have faith in the forgiveness of these sins through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, then you will be saved. His sacrifice was made for you, just as it was made for all faithful believers in Him. That's all you have to do is believe.

But what greater act of love, in the name of Jesus Christ, could you give, than to go to the victim, and take the blame for the deviant and perverse acts you forced upon them, to finally release them from the blame and the shame of an act that was never their fault. What wonderful testimony could you offer, what leading toward God could you bring to the bruised soul who feels unworthy of attention of God by just taking responsibility for the "secrets" of the past. Release your victims from the hell you placed them. Correct the lies against their character,and tell your family and friends the truth. Restore the good name and the innocence of the victim to everyone that you lied about to cover your shame. I know it's going to be tough for you. But how much worse will it be, when you are saved and resurrected after your earthly death, to a place of peace and joy in Heaven, and you realize that your victim did not make it, because your wicked acts prevented him from feeling worthy of walking toward God? How can your Heaven cover your shame in forcing an innocent child to Hell?

God is not holding homosexuality against you, today, if you are gay!
God is not holding any sin against anyone, whether one is gay or straight.
Christ paid for ALL sin, on the Cross, on your behalf.
God will never charge another sin against you.
Believe this, trust Christ for what He has done for you, and you are saved forever. Don't believe me? Look up the following verses, and please get yourself a King James version of the bible.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 - this is how you are saved.
2 Corinthians 5:19 - God is not imputing (charging sin) against you
Ephesians 2: 8-9 - salvation is a gift

"Standing fast in our freedom...Galatians 5:1...Our "liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free".
- we have the liberty to do right, just as, the liberty to do wrong....either way, we are saved by Grace...even when we do wrong, because we are freed from the law.
- which way do you suppose God would want us to live? To do wrong, to satisfy self, or to glorify Him?
How better could God do to measure our true love and devotion to Him, then to turn us lose to satisfy ourselves?
He is a "discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart" Hebrews 4:12
