I am seriously contemplating writing a book on What To Do When You Are Lied About, Defamed and Hurt. I dont know a single soul who has not been there. In fact I know many who have quit churches, quit going to family reunions, quit a job etc. as a result of defamation. I know brothers and sisters, mothers and children, husbands and wives who carry this burden and have lost their health worrying about these kinds of problems. A quick search of Christian bookstores and Amazon shows no book on this subject. I am an expert.... Perhaps this book will come... Perhaps I am learning new lessons to put into a book to help others. Meanwhile here are some thoughts on the subject. The following is one of the Psalms and a part of another Psalm that I read over and over when an enemy tried repeatedly to kidnap me between 2001 and 2005. As a result of me discovering and confronting him about the fact that he was the brains behind the attempts, he began to speak badly about me and even convinced some that I was bad. He was very, very smart, but God was smarter. I cried out to God and God answered. He is dead now, killed by his own first cousin, in retaliation for killing his own uncle. I cried out to God on my knees and ask for an answer to my dilemma. God answered. One of the best scriptures I found was this precious little verse tucked into a Psalm and I have never heard it quoted and never heard it preached on, but never the less it is extremely comforting to me. Psalm 86:17 Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, Lord, hast holden me, and comforted me. David asked God to do something FOR HIM to prove to his enemies that God was his friend, this may have included those who spoke bad about him and those who believed the bad someone else spoke about him, that he was loved of God. What a simple and sweet prayer... The time before last when people were speaking bad about me God gave the ministry the orphanage land. That was (or so I am told) a $250,000 gift which I had no idea would happen. That land came with a PROMISE, that God would build up an orphanage that would serve God, serve children and raise them up in the way of the Lord. I am preparing for the blessing He has for me this go around, I know my token for good is coming. I am looking for the token of good which God has prepared for me to prove to my enemies that He is God and that He loves me and that He is by my side. People may not understand the way God works with me, but He has always been by my side. He has always protected me, done special things for me and loved me. I sometimes feel like I am a participant in Luke 19:43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side... But I know I am a participant in 2 Corinthians 4:8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Do these things bother me? Yes, false accusations always hurt. Do I feel troubled on every side? Yes, honestly yes. Am I perplexed? Without a doubt, the people who are talking about me, totally refuse to communicate with me. I have tried to talk to them, the biblical response to offenses, they will not answer. What have I done wrong? Honestly, I have no clue. Why? Either they are feeling guilty OR they have believed lies and are convinced that I am a wolf in sheeps clothing. Scripturally, I have tried to contact them to no avail. Scripturally, I have forgiven. Scripturally, I have cried out to God to have mercy on them. Scripturally, I have tried to reach out to those in whom they have confided and whom are talking to others. I have reached out to those from whom they have sought counsel. Last night the latest three people, in an ever growing group of persons contacted me to warn me to be careful. It is obvious that the Honduran grapevine has been alive and well, while I have been in the USA. I have been falsely accused of several things, among them I have been accused of having put the orphanage land in my personal name for personal gain and of trying to sell it to line my personal pockets. Since those who accused me STALK me on the internet, I am attaching photos of the property deed. Perhaps this will put these liars minds to rest. Perhaps this will prove to others that it would have been better to just ask me, than to believe the lies they have been told. The orphanage farm is NOT for sell. It is available for use for a childrens home, nothing else. I made a promise and the ministry board of directors made a promise that this is the use for the orphanage farm. It can sit empty until that is accomplished. It needs some work and perhaps this is the time for that work to be accomplished. Only God knows whose heart will be touched and who will send groups to accomplish this end. Psalm 56 Contemporary English Version (CEV) 1 Have pity, God Most High! My enemies chase me all day. 2 Many of them are pursuing and attacking me, 3 but even when I am afraid, I keep on trusting you. 4 I praise your promises! I trust you and am not afraid. No one can harm me. 5 Enemies spend the whole day finding fault with me; all they think about is how to do me harm.6 They attack from ambush, watching my every step and hoping to kill me. They won’t get away with these crimes, God, because when you get angry, you destroy people. 8 You have kept record of my days of wandering. You have stored my tears in your bottle and counted each of them. 9 When I pray, Lord God, my enemies will retreat, because I know for certain that you are with me. 10 I praise your promises! 11 I trust you and am not afraid. No one can harm me. 12 I will keep my promises to you, my God, and bring you gifts. 13 You protected me from death and kept me from stumbling,so that I would please you and follow the light that leads to life. You will notice this was a donation... You will also see that the property is in the name of Shechinah Ministries, Inc. and you will see that it IS legal and IS registered and I am NOT lying about it. I do NOT own the property personally. It would have been much easier to just ask... wouldnt it have been? If you are the one spreading the rumors then stop, if you are the one believing the rumors, then ask yourself why your source was lying to you. If you are the ones who propagated the rumors after hearing them, shame on you.
