Alright, the reason i was making such a ruckass and talking madness in the chat was because I was drugged and raped in April, now im not gay or bi sexual, I said that because the truth of being roofied and raped by 3 men while paralyzed, unable to move, unable to fight back was embarrassing to me and just saying i was gay was easier even though it was a lie. In order to block it out i just drank and drank trying to escape the reality of the situation, i didnt leave my house for awhile, i sent neighbors to buy me more booze and i sat alone trying to erase my memories with alcohol. I drank away the memories until my body started to burn from the inside, until i dried up and my strength and sanity left me. I finally realized that eventually id have to come to terms with the fact terrible things happen everyday and I do praise God that these rapist scumbags didnt kill me. Anyway after accepting this I have a gratitude for God and have completely been restored to health by the mercy of God, Iam serving in the church and following the will of Jesus, even bearing fruit :) bottom line is bad things happen to people all the time and wicked people get away with horrible crimes but you cant suppress your issues, or drink them away as I tried to do. You must face them.

Thank you, your prayers are welcome
 
For the most part chatters and forum users are two separate groups. So this explanation probably will make it to few or none that were actually affected.
 
Did you forgive those guys yet???

Did you notice what Jesus said happens to those that don't forgive?

And, yes the Lord will heal you and empower you to forgive just as He is willing to forgive
 
Yes i forgive them. If you dont forgive neither will your heavenly father forgive you. i know this
 
Yes, and those that do not forgive will be visited by the tormentors (devils) cause they have opened the door to darkness by refusing to forgive.

I'm standing in agreement with you man for full recovery in every area of your life and for the strength of the Lord to turn this bad thing in to eternal victory...
 
Lord please heal ArtAttack, physically, spiritually and emotionally, yes Lord please bless and you be glorified in ArtAttack's life. In Jesus Holy name, Amen!
 
Only thru God's promises... refusing to allow them to be choked or stolen:

2 Peter 1:4-8
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through carnal desires.
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Congratulations. You are now to the point of facing what happened. Want to make sure you don't become a target so it happens again and again? Get HELP! Go to a Rape Crisis Center and get help. You are not as far as you think you are in your recovery, and you can't get any further without help.

Saying "it happens every day" really does not help you learn what happened to YOU and what YOU can do about it! God has so much more to give you than a simple, "Oh, well. It happens."

Rape is as personal as it gets. Deal with it.

Seems to me you are on the right path. God can heal all and will heal you. Stay focused on Him and you will be fine. Counselors are a good option but God can do way more than some counselor. God bless and am praying for you.
 
My heart goes out to you my fellow brother in Christ. I'm so sorry for what you had to go through. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear God of endless love, ever caring, ever strong, always present, always just. Lord please comfort and heal Artattack from the pain of having been hurt in body, mind and spirit. Soothe his restless heart with hope and steady his shaken spirit with faith. Heal his wounds and transform his brokenness. Grant him courage and wisdom, humility and grace so that he may act with justice and find peace in You. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
 
You guys are so much better than me. I am pretty sure I would have gotten even with those guys within a VERY short time.

That would have been serious disrespect to the Lord Who has claimed vengeance is Mine, I will repay.

But, I would have been tempted as well to deliver some hot lead their way my own self.

The Holy Spirit always shows us things to come so thru His leading we have opportunity to escape things such as this before they ever happen.

The Father provided this type of leading in Jesus' life otherwise He would have been killed before ever having a chance to go to the Cross.
 
Thank you for your testimony my brother. What an incredible encouragement of how grace can prevail even in the worst of circumstances! God bless you my friend- being able to forgive and move on is a sign of spiritual maturity. It might seem easy for me to say I would have no problem forgiving such a sin, but it didn't happen to me. In my flesh, I would definitely go Chuck Norris on the offenders.

On a personal note, I experienced every father's nightmare. Several years ago the same thing happened to my daughter when she was in college; she was "roofied" and raped by a man and a woman. The father of the woman was a highly-ranked officer on the sheriff's department, so we were unable to bring about a criminal conviction. BUT by the grace of God she was also able to forgive and move on- she finished school and is currently a missionary in Scotland, reaching out to women who have also been abused.

Dearest Lord, I thank you for Art and his testimony of Your healing power. May you use the evil that You allowed in an awesome way to reach others for Your glory!!!
 
Yes i forgive them. If you dont forgive neither will your heavenly father forgive you. i know this

dang man....

for you to come out with something like this is huge


youre a lot stronger than you realize


just hearing about this makes me sick to my stomach and want to hurt them

for you to be CAPABLE to forgive these men

thats a sign Jesus is in your heart and you have the Holy spirit


may God bless you man

im tearin up


i hope you get many blessings and God answers all your prayers
 
You guys are so much better than me. I am pretty sure I would have gotten even with those guys within a VERY short time.

I did forgive them, lol but still that doesnt stop me from delivering a swift uppercut if i see one of them. Oh well Iam not angry at all, whatever happens happens

The only reason I didn't was because I didn't know where they lived. :p

The reality is God protected me in that way, or I would have spent the rest of my life feeling something about what I did to them. (Didn't happen, so, I still have no idea what I would be feeling. All I know is it wouldn't have been what the Lord wanted me to do about it.)

Really? I know why guys generally don't think in terms of kneeing other guys, but I would think that would be the exception to that rule.

BTW, as far as "whatever happens happens" goes, forgiveness -- as far as we can take this and still be safe -- includes pleading God's mercy even on the rapists. We are called to love our enemies. Rapists is about as enemy as it gets, so the best form of love and forgiveness I can give them, (knowing full well I'd be stupid to try and make friends with them) is to pray that God saves them.

For me, it's been 41 years. I have gone on with my life, because that's what counseling gave me through God's grace, but it is still in my mind what I wanted to do about it versus what I keep doing about it. And, no. My plan was far more sinister than merely kneeing them if I saw them again. That too is something God changed in me.
 
I am glad you chose to cling with God at hard times and forgave the culprits. Forgiveness is a process. Since you have surrendered it to Christ, your soul will be healed.
 
We have to deal with our problems,for we cannot drink them away,or drug them away,for if we do try to get rid of them that way,we will create a spacey,and distraught feeling in our mind,for where can the problems go,and you will beat up your head to get rid of it,but in the process cause your mind to lose well being,and happiness,for we cannot erase it,which if we try we will erase some of our happiness,for where will the problems go.

We would cause an almost blank feeling in our mind,and thinking,trying to erase the problems,and hurt,and some people develope multiple personalites to deal with problems,and hurt,to totally forget that personality,and develope a new identity,which is not good.

The only way to deal with problems is to acknowledge them,do something about them,and if someone hurt us forgive them,and do not intentionally try to get rid of the problems,or hurt,but think upon other things,and let the hurt lessen,and go away on its own,for trying to get rid of it makes it worse,for you will wonder if it is there worrying about it,trying to see if you can notice it.

Like the people in to Yoga and meditation,and emptying their mind,which is not good,and you do not want to empty your mind,but the mind is meant to think,and the best way for the mind to operate is to keep it moving from one subject to another,and do not think upon something too long,but if you do think upon something take it as far as you cannot think of anything else concerning it,and let it go,for if you try to understand it more you are putting stress on your mind to try to come up with further knowledge of it that does not come.Let it go,and move on.

That is the problem with problems,and keep going over hurt,your mind can only think about it for so long,and then it becomes a stale thing in your mind with nothing else to think about it,and can cause stress,and distraught.

It appears as if it is like lifting weights.If you keep doing barbell curls eventually you will fatigue out and cannot lift it anymore,so if we keep going over the same thing whether a problem,or a hurtful situation,eventually the mind will fatigue out on those things we keep going over,and can cause stress,which it would seem like that would not happen to the mind,but it does.

They say people that have OCD have stress,because that is what happens when we keep going over the same subject,and it also causes an unsatisfied feeling in their mind.

Loss of interest,question,wonder.Waves of fear they pull me under.

I know it will be a natural thing for us to worry,and be upset,sometimes,but we got to let it go,and not keep going over it,but think about other things,and let it lessen,and go away on its own,the mental hurt.

The only thing we should truly worry about is if we hurt others,and do wrong in the sight of God,but then we take it to God,get rid of it,and move on for it is forgiven,and not beat ourselves up to prove to God that we are truly sorry,for that does no good.

Also by the Spirit if we move forward and think upon good things the Spirit is our Comforter,and can lessen all hurt within us,but if we want to worry about problems,and hurt,we will have to deal with the stress,and distraugtness it can cause.

That is why God said,cast your cares upon Me,for I care for you.

We have no need to worry unless we hurt others,and do wrong in the sight of God,but then repent of those things,and move on,and if we do think of problems think about it for the time you must think about it wanting a solution,but then leave off of it if you cannot come to a conclusion,for why beat up your head over it,and cause stress.
