Wolves live among the righteous masked as sheep. Outwardly pristine, yet ravenous by nature, they prowl around looking for someone whom they may devour. When opportunities come, they use their tongues to weaponize God-breathed life as twisted truth, speaking death to the most vulnerable souls. They appear as angels of light hoping God’s daughters will leave their armor in the closet of biblical ignorance and believe their Creator hates where His Holy Spirit is leading them, and that He instead prioritizes modern-day slavery in the form of doormat theology and minimizes accountability, consequences, and justice.
Masquerading wolves want the weak and needy to accept a shame-filled misstep, a distraction, a delay, and ultimate destruction as their God-ordained destiny in order to protect their own wicked agenda or blind idolatrous delusion. To achieve this, they set up systemic policies and counseling procedures based on fleshly conclusions and manmade error. At any cost, they adamantly and vehemently coerce and manipulate the abused to stay within the confines of evil, defining victimhood as repentance, reconciliation as forgiveness, righteous judgment as condemnation, and justice as iniquity. For extra security, they give a worldly promise spiritual equivalency to an unbreakable covenant with The Almighty while glamorizing their prey’s daily defeat to evil as Christ-like martyrdom.
These white-washed tombs look at the anointed as the law-keepers may have looked at Jesus, with haughty eyes and self-righteous indignation, taking every opportunity to accuse them of misinterpreted knowledge and spiritual failures.
These skilled magic performances full of demonic illusions and misdirection may work to disguise tragedy as miracles for a season, but the omniscient and omnipresent One knows the wiles of the crafty. Unfortunately for wolves in sheep’s clothing, there remains only one truth that can withstand the gates of hell and none of their schemes will ever change it.
God already declared that a house divided against itself will not stand. When His people stuck within the confines of injustice pine after His wisdom like hidden treasures, the way of Christ leads to pastures of peace, His truth floods in like an avalanche of deliverance, and His light shatters every stumbling block and false proclamation. Vindication reigns in the refuge of the upright, so the words of wolves in opposition to His divine intervention will not stand in the presence of the Lord’s Word.
As holy clarity dissolves deceptive webs, to the dismay of every sly serpent, the downtrodden crawl boldly to the foot of The Master’s throne, remembering their value and eternal robes of righteous royalty. Even in the darkest storm of lies, the light of truth remains, telling the discarded and betrayed to stop settling for being stolen and to break out of the den of thieves.
On the narrow road, you can bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you, turn the other cheek, forgive 70×7, walk faithfully, love your neighbor, deny yourself, be at peace, cast your burdens, reject bitterness, love justice, walk humbly, count your blessings, count the cost, overcome evil with good, value marriage, honor your vows, submit to God, obey God, follow God, glorify God, and live for Christ, all while simultaneously walking away.
You can do the right thing and LEAVE.
No circumstance holds the power to change a woman’s spiritual status as a chosen vessel, a precious jewel, and a predestined daughter of the King of Kings.
The action of walking away does not nullify faith or the pure intention of a heart. It is not failure or weakness. When it comes to domestic abuse, leaving is not for the cowardly. It’s costly. It takes courage. It’s for battle warriors.
Jesus came to walk toward death. In the form of a servant, He shed His blood in humble defeat and resurrected from the grave to conquer the scarlet sin of the guilty.
He came to honor the trusting and the meek, and to make the least the greatest. He came to make beauty for ashes, to refine His saints in the furnace of affliction, burning their blemishes into purified gold for His glory. He came to work all things out for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
He didn’t come to leave His daughters in bondage. He came to become the punished and the oppressed, to suffer for the sake of those who would call on His name, and to pay their penalty. He came to use wounds for His victory.
The way, the truth, and the life came to give His life as a ransom for many. He came to restore. He came to redeem. He came to deliver and to set captives free.
Strength and dignity are her clothing,
and she laughs at the time to come.
Proverbs 31:25
The wicked flee when no one pursues,
but the righteous are bold as a lion.
Proverbs 28:1
He frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success. He catches the wise in their own craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end.
Job 5:12-13
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
John 10:10
The Lord works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed.
Psalm 103:6
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.
Psalm 37:5-6
So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
John 8:31-32
