I don't know what you're going to get out of my testimony, but I don't want to deny the glory that is due God's name and I know there's glory in it because I live it everyday of my life.

My story isn't an easy story to tell, and it won't be an easy story to read, I suggest you pray before reading it.

Ongoing throughout my childhood, and with any communication with my family now

• Emotional abuse
• Physical abuse
• Psychological abuse
• Verbal abuse
• Neglect

From the age of 3 my biological father sexually abused me
Age 7 he started raping me, selling me to other people
Age 10 we moved churches and the spiritual abuse started
Age 10 started selling me to groups of men
Age 14 i started saying no, it continued anyway, just got more violent
Age 20 i moved out of home and moved churches
Age 21 i cut off contact with my biological family
Age 23 i got sent to a 'christian' rehab, the following types of abuse occurred there

• psychological
• spiritual
• emotional
• neglect

18 months there and I finished the program ascribed to me
Age 24 I started seeing my family again due to the brainwashing
I was sent to a different church where the spiritual and psychological abuse continued
Age 25 I said no to them and went back to the church I knew
Age 27 I cut off my biological family again, only to see them at christmas basically

my biological father also claims to be christian, i don't believe him anymore

I'm a miracle because my faith is still intact

Amen! You are a miracle and God loves you so dearly. Time to look forward to what He has planned for you and no more looking back at the sad and hurtful times.

Thank you for sharing your testimony. I pray someone else will be inspired by it.

It seems like you're assuming that I'm not going to share more than what I have and that I shouldn't look back any more

[mlg]

I personally believe a testimony means you are sharing what you overcame, without feeling the pain or hurt from looking back on the past. Looking back on the past means you are still living in that past....using that past as a testimony brings you forward to the present....allowing you to move forward with God as a witness for Him.

These are just my thoughts, you may feel differently.

Take care

Hello Trailblazer,

God bless you this day.

None of the those things should be done to a human being. None! I am glad you found a way of escape from all the abuse.

God loves you. Jesus loves you. The Holy Spirit loves you.

I'm glad to hear that your faith in God remains. Hallelujah! I hope you will share more of that miracle faith, and Who the author and finisher of your faith is.

Prayers continue to rise to The Lord in the name of Jesus on your behalf. God's will be done.

God bless and keep you,
Mack
