Stand And Escape

Kristine Cucinotta Murphy

People snap,
Use words to trap.
Put you down,
Not on solid ground.
Come to take,
Peace they don’t make.
Contention and division,
Lost without true salvation.
Not died to self completely,
Put on an act for all to see.
Empty souls, serpent’s hiss,
Flattery and empty promises.
Controlling manipulations,
Feed off your emotions.
Gave up long ago,
Turned away from truth also.
No empathy, they can’t feel,
Know not what is real.
You gave all you got,
They appreciate not.
Gave them rubies and pearls,
Self seeking tornado twisters.
They kill, destroy and steal,
Turn and rend you like a meal.
They’ll make others believe,
You are at fault if you leave.
But, you better break free,
The abuse worsens rapidly.
They’ll tell you you’re crazy,
Deny with no accountability.
Empty sorry, but never wrong,
No change or not for long.
Evil devices, always a pattern,
Holy or evil? Better discern.
God hates abuse, will repay,
Every wicked way.
Obey God’s voice, trust in him,
These kind you will not win.
Only your anger will brew,
Then, turn and blame you.
You’ll be blessed to survive,
Servanthood doesn’t mean to be abused, not able to thrive.
Man or woman, never can tell,
Those spirits are straight outta hell.
Better seek God with all you got,
Do what he says, even if you rather not.
You can’t change them, don’t even try,
Don’t stick around thinking you will, less you die.
Daily abuse isn’t being a true martyr,
God hates abusers, lying tongues, please study harder!
Accept what is, all reality,
Even if you first disobeyed God Almighty.
Truly, there were red flags at first,
But, to stay in disobedience only makes it worse.
Seek God’s direction, where to go,
Seek his help, sin as scarlet turned white as snow.
God has a purpose and plan for your life in true ministry,
Don’t hold hands with the deaf who can’t hear and the blind who can’t see.
Leave them in God’s hand,
God created you to take a stand.
Dust off your feet, look not back,
Stay armored up, fill your oil to not lack.
He created you with a voice,
To give him praise and glory to rejoice.

If you’re in an abusive relationship of any kind, need prayer, Scriptural edification or reproof, please contact one of us immediately. God is calling you to witness and testify for his Kingdom! And, as healthy and safe as possible. Blessed are the peacemakers, but not in a frightened fear and life threatening way. There is an escape, and he will show you the way. There is no fear in love. Love never fails! Love listens and heals.

1 Corinthians 13:1-5 – 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

Proverbs 6:16-19 – 16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

1 Corinthians 15:33 – Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

Revelation 2:4-5 – 4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
