My dad was abusive and it is really something how his sons became the same way. Mom did nothing to control them while they were little and the abuse change them in a negative way. They did not mature and she can't tame them now and I am now having to deal with abuse 2.0 . Will anyone ever love me to get me out of this. Better yet the rapture just come and end the suffering for the Christians who deal with abuse???

Please don’t give up on God and His promises.  Jesus will always love you.  

Matthew 5:11-12

11 Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

I am praying for you. God has put you in a unique position to witness to your family though your being different. I pray he will use that to draw them away from their abusive ways and into a relationship with him!

In recognising the problem you are taking the first of many steps to change.

 

May I suggest that you get a book on Christian parenting, if such a book exists, and read it. Otherwise talk to you pastor about your fears and ask for advice, counselling or teaching on Christian parenting.

As to wheather someone will want to marry you? All I can suggest is talk to girls and see where it leads.

two suggestions. Keep to the highest Christian standards, no sex before marriage and second look for a Christian girl who is firmly set on biblical and not emotional convictions,

 

Far to many people claim to be 'christian' because of some emotional feeling!  do not trust such feelings.

Lots of people protect children from abuse. Doctors, police, children services and so on. If a teacher at school becomes aware of an abusive situation they are required by law to file a report so that an evaluation can be done. If a person goes to jail for being abusive the gov has to protect them from all the people who have been abused in the prison. 

We do have power, authority and protection through God and the angels. People need to learn about the authority they have. It is a difficult question as to why God allows abuse and how He can cause good to come out of that. Because his promise to us is that all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose. 

As parents we do our best to be a better parent than our parents were for us. My father was a pediatrician for over 50 years. It was his job to help people to be good parents. Eventually he started to figure it out but it took him a lot of trial and error. There are functional and dysfunctional families and God is able to redeem dysfunctional people. 

If you look at slavery they used a lot of fear to control people. With God there is no fear, only power, love and a sound mind. So this is a part of the redemption process and this is what it means to be born again and a new creation in Christ. Old things pass away and all becomes new. (2cor5:17)

Why do kids follow after their abusive parents

This doesn't need to take place. See this excerpt:

  • Eze 18:14-19 -> "And, lo, if he fathers a son who sees all his father's sins which he has done, and fears, and does not do like him; who has not eaten on the mountains; nor has lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel; has not defiled his neighbor's wife; nor has ill-treated any man; has not withheld the pledge; nor has robbed by violence; but has given his bread to the hungry; and has covered the naked with clothes; has withdrawn his hand from the poor; has not received usury nor increase; has done My judgments; has walked in My statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father; he shall surely live. His father, because he extorted, robbed his brother by robbery, and did what is not good among his people; lo, even he shall die in his iniquity. Yet you say, Why? Does not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son has done justice and right, has kept all My statutes, and has done them, he shall surely live.

Children often act out the same behavior they observe in their parents as a form of love. It's as if the child says, "I love you, therefore I am the same as you." This pattern is deeply unconscious and can span many generations. The best you can do is acknowledge it for what it is -- a primitive attempt to express love -- and let it go. Don't replicate the pattern in your life. 

 

Matthew 5:43-48 (ESV)

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
