Spiritul Abuse

I listened to the preacher
I did what I was told to do
I came to church 
To recieve
spiritual abuse
I opened up to the church 
I confessed my
sins repented in truth
You turned it into your Sunday sermon 
That's not a godly thing to do
All I got from the church was spirit abuse
I Surrendered to God
from chastisement of his hand
You found a new form of beating me with the rod
playing the role of the man
All I got was 
spirit abuse
I wanted to sing in the choir 
Wear the perfect atire
Instead I got
judged an  rejected
in your face neglected 
All I got from you was 
spiritual abuse
I stood up in church 
"I can't take it no more"
Snatched up my spirit
an walked out the door
No more abuse to my spirit
in your worship house 
Anymore!
I free myself from
your spirit Abuse

The Emotionally Healthy Church and  Emotionallly Healthy Spirituality are two books by Rev. Pete Scazzero.....I worked with him for 5-6 years in Queens.   Often pastors have inner child wounds that don't get addressed and come out sideways sometimes.

I am grateful for my Nyack College and Alliance Seminary educations, but www.Coda.org helped bring much inner healing for me that the Church never would not have addressed.

I've been finally strengthened to remove myself from the captivity of the situation. Searching for new leadership an guidance threw Christ timing.
Spiritual Abuse is happening all over the world in many churches, using people pain for sermons an etc. Thank-you for your compassion an understanding.
