So watch yourselves ” If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. If he sins against you seven times a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, “I repent”, forgive him. NIV Luke 17:3-4
I have warned my husband many times as often before the situation has happened to attack our lives. My husband was very blind and never took my warning for almost five years. He did not rebuke his foster son’s sin, and paid attention to him more than me as his wife and our precious girls as well. I did rebuke that boy in my heart. It has been very painful issue.
I have worked very hard to keep telling him as my Holy Spirit came into my heart very serious about his foster son. My husband did not really believe very much in my words of what will happen to me and the church as well. I kept letting him and his foster son go to attack, because I had faith that God will take care of it.
Instead of calling a word foster son I would really call him as a little demon boy because I saw as felt that he had been with the demon trying to pull my husband away from me, my girls, friends and family as well. That little demon boy has done so much to my husband. That occurred before I dated him, and while his first wife was alive.
My husband was programmed as brainwashed by that little demon boy, just because of the communication which my husband always needed a special communication: Sign Language. For instance, my brother in law invited my oldest daughter to spend with him and his family for the weekend, and my husband had to drive a long way from our home to drop my oldest daughter off at the watermelon festival where they met each other. My husband chose the demon boy to keep a company. Instead of me I did not go with them, just because I rebuked that demon boy because of his hypocritical behavior . That demon boy really could not live without my husband, because his dreams were looking forward to get back into his old ways where he has spent working very hard to get paid attention from my husband than my oldest daughter’s biological mother. Otherwise when I got married to my husband, that demon boy was with a full of angry and jealousy inside his heart as I saw in my wedding. Very rough situation.
When my husband had a plan to do something, he would choose the demon boy to keep a company to keep my husband busy talking and signing language.
Before I dated my husband the demon boy did force my husband to persuade or convince when that demon boy planned to bring up a word with a negative to attack a brother who truly loves Lord with all the heart because of the jealousy and angry which that demon boy did not want to see something that came from the Lord. Unknown reason or thing. In fact he did all what he really wanted my husband to persuade or convince. My husband was willing to do whatever his demon boy wanted to attack or hurt the Christian brother or sister as well. He did follow the demon boy’s lies.
Otherwise he forced him to get a divorce from me so that he could able to have my husband all the time more than focusing and working on my oldest teenager daughter. I truly stood up with my faith, however, I did not give anything what my husband needed me to meet his needs, because he did not listen my warning at the first place. Yes of course my marriage was in very much troubled, BUT I had faith in Lord as knew that Lord was working on it. I walked with Lord more than people’s advices no matter what if brother or sister tried to help me out. I thanked them however, I kept going with Jesus no matter what if I was not perfect. I kept my humility and silence to have with Jesus in my heart guarding on.
When my marriage happened to be in a serious trouble, the demon boy pulled my husband away to be involved a chat or talk with a question and an advice from Christian women. In my heart I knew it would happen to humilliate me, BUT I kept my strength having my faith with Lord thru my hardest emotions.
My husband got a serious hurt by the demon boy’s lies who has told all the ugly stories to the Christian brother. He saw all what the conversation was. My husband was very shocked as never thought like that way to humilliate and hurt him. The demon boy brought up with his heavy lies to persuade or convince to the Christian brother and sister as well about my husband. Because that demon boy was very angry at me because he could not stand up my faith and strength to keep my marriage with my husband and my precious girls. He knows how strong and brave I am to stand up taking my high risks. Yes it was very painful to get hurt, and humiliated as well. Therefore that demon boy decided to attack my husband and the church as well with his heavy lies to against each other. That was his last chance before he left to be pretty far from us.
Because that boy truly expected as he dreamed to get more paid attention from them.
After that happened my husband admitted everything to me, I knew it was by from the demon boy. Most of his stories were very painful and shocked to me. He decided to keep and stay away from the demon boy. I know it is very painful to him because he was a great foster father. He worked very hard to raise a better life than the demon boy’s family because of the love that Lord gave him to teach who is Lord first than himself. My husband did sacrifice so much to help that boy for almost 17 years or something like that.
By now my husband learned how to be watching himself against the sin. Still healing and recovering his mind and his heart as well. Learning how to rebuke the brother’s sins.
Brothers and sisters, Make sure to be watchful and rebuking the brother who sins or attacks No matter what if her looks or his looks look “Oh wow good person Christian”, but how about the heart?? Otherwise, look to Lord, the Holy Spirit will tell you in your heart.
Not very easy how to forgive one who repents, but the best way is to focus on Lord again. The Holy Spirit will lead and tell you again.
In Christ!
