Speaker 1 (00:03):
Child wounded by rejection, incest, molestation, emotional, physical, and sexual
abuse can become an adult functioning in childish ways, not
being able to put away childish things. Listen to arrested
development ministries and hear the hearts of victims who have
(00:27):
become victims and sufferers who are now survivors. Learn what
great things God can do for you to heal your
heart wherever you hurt.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Welcome to arrested development. Arrested development is the term used
to describe the occurrence in the human body when a
person has experienced something so traumatic in their childhood that
it may allow them to grow physically but still be
stunted in their emotional, relational, and even spiritual growth. This
outreach was birth through the experiences and testimonies of John
(01:40):
and Charlene Donelson. Charlene is a survivor of childhood sexual
and verbal abuse. She shares her process and the trials
of her childhood how she manages the reflections now resonating
in her adult life. The effects of her past experiences
continually try to destroy her emotionally, physically, and spiritually. She
(02:00):
holds on to the truth of God's Word that tells
us all we are overcomers by the blood of the
Lamb and by the word of our testimonies. John is
also a survivor in his own right. He is a
product of teenage rape and also through the abuse or
abnormal use of an adult's authority in his life. He
shares how he was exposed to pornography at a very
(02:20):
young age. Although this is accepted in our society to day,
it has a lasting snowball effect on the mind and
the spirit that causes much pain and destruction, leaving behind
a trail of broken relationships, self esteem issues, pornography, addiction,
and more. He shares his battles and victories and lessons
of defeat for the glory of God. For this couple,
(02:42):
building a family together under these conditions was and is
still not easy. As you can imagine, their journey has
been filled with much pain and frustration, remembering that the
enemy of their souls has orchestrated these attacks. Their strength
is found in knowing that what the enemy has meant
for bad, God is working out for their good. God's
plans for their lives are for good and not evil,
(03:04):
and He has seen fit to bring them together for
an expected end to become one flesh. Today, many marriages
suffer because of the attacks that come through generational curses, incest, adultery, rape,
sexual addictions, and other deep dark family secrets. Through the
blood of Jesus Christ, his Holy Spirit, and his Word,
(03:26):
any marriage can endure these attacks and reflect the wisdom,
purpose and power of God who does all things well.
Listen to their testimonies, hear their hearts, and look at
what great things God can do for you with information
and application of His word. Remember you may have been broken,
but you are not beyond repair.
