GOD's Truth is so simple ..

mere babies can discern it.  The Truth is if you have Christ in your heart you can hate no man.  You can't do it.  You can't hate and you can't lie.  That is your litmus test.  You can't envy and covet either.  You certainly will not plot to destroy your loved ones.

My grandfather lived to be eighty-four years old and he left this earth with no hatred in his heart for any man or woman.  He didn't even hate his daughter that took pleasure is secretly torturing and humiliating him daily. My granddaddy simply prayed for her without ceasing because he knew that she was afflicted with a demon that she refused to let go of.

My grandfather understood Matthew 15: 22 - 28.  Read it.  There was a woman who had a daughter that was afflicted with a demon spirit.  "...my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil."  Surely that's my mother, grievously vexed with a devil.  For any woman to do the kinds of things she has done for so long.  She menaces and plots against every one she knows for what she thinks is delicious pleasure , but she is the one that is truly tortured.

What could be worse than living a very long time pretending to love people you absolutely loathe? How low and common do you have to be to harm little children?  Worse of all to blow a huge hole into the chest of a saved man, a good man, one of GOD's true Christians.

What kind of mind showers herself with gifts just to dole out a few trinkets to people she is too cowardly to tell that she hates them, blames them.  What kind of mind refuses to accept the fact that it was her serious "whorishness", promiscuity that kept any good man from her?

What kind of person would insist that every one in the world go along with her fairy tale, put on "Christian" persona just so she will never have to repent?  What kind of mind is it that insists on bludgeoning and brutalizing the children she robbed of all happiness?

Martha is suffering, she is vexed with a demon of monumental magnitude.  She can play act, lie and deny.  GOD knows.  She can intimidate and bully.  A person has to be terrorized with some serious fear to help her maintain, closet and protect her demons.  She is not that smart.  But she is that afflicted.  She along with her many minions are totally blind.

There is so much beauty and compassion in the story with the daughter that is afflicted with a demon.  That mother had some awesome true love.  For her to beg Jesus to save her daughter is a beautiful testimony in itself.  How many of us get fed up with our loved ones that are suffering with demons?  We just want to get away from them, to save ourselves.

My grandfather had to know his daughter was plagued with demons.  He knew that she brought them on herself.  She was rebellious and hardheaded.  He never gave up on her.  He prayed for her daily, until his dying day.  My grandfather told me; "Always love your mother baby, always help her."

My grandfather was a true humble Christian.  Something I aspire to be.  He would remind her that she was going to hell often.  But, he never called her names or reviled her.  He never threw her past in her face.  He never shared her horrible deeds with us.  What I learned about her she told me.

No matter what, I will always believe that my grandfather sacrificed his life, his happiness for us, for his grandchildren.  That's why I can't let his name remain tarnished.  I will not let Martha's lie live.  She is common, savage and brutal.  She knows better but so eaten up with hatred and envy she refuses to change.

I will not attend or affiliate with a "church" that continues to hide her, pretending that they don't know.  I love my family.  If I have to love them from afar that is what I will do.  I will not call a monster "mother".  I do forgive her but I will never forget.

There is hope.   That woman came and worshipped Jesus and He said ;"It is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to dogs."  Was Jesus suggesting that  her daughter vexed with the demon spirit was as low as a dog?  I don't know.  But the woman never gave up.  She said ; "Truth, LORD: yet the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their master's table."

Her great faith and insistence touched Jesus' heart.  "O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt." And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

We have to love the hell out of our enemies.   You must know that a person, a mother, a daughter, willing to destroy her whole family just so she can pretend to be something she is not is suffering tragically, needlessly. A woman that that is willing to pretend to love you just to destroy you, lacketh understanding.

A mind so confused, she loves to hates and hates to love,  is in need of your prayers, not your cowardly fear.  She can't beat you any more physically.  She can't bind, gag and lacerate you.  She can't rape you and twist your mind into hating yourself.  You don't have to keep her house of horrors secret because you are ashamed.

She is the one that should be ashamed. I believe deep inside she is.  Eight-six years built around a mountain of lies and disguises is disgusting. I can't hate her.  I can only pity my mother and pray for her.  I pray for my brothers still held hostage by her nauseating shame.

I call on the name of Jesus.  Dear LORD have pity on my poor mother.  Release her from that demonic spirit that she invited into her heart.  Release her from the bondage and ignorance she deliberately solicited Dear Father.  She is ignorant, she is lost, trying to bumble and stumble her way into your Grace.

Open their eyes LORD bring them to the light.   Bring me to the light LORD.  Do not let me hate anyone.  I beg your forgiveness LORD.  In the Mighty name of Jesus the Christ I humbly pray.

Stay in His WORD children.  Remember; "Apart from Christ you are nothing."
