The question is: Why does God allow abuse? Let me put it in my own story. I grew up in Michigan. In a little town called Union City. and from six to thirteen years old, for seven years, every week, I was raped by a man of the name of Wayne Bailey. How did it all start? When I was six years old. He was hired, he'd been hired to be a cook and a housekeeper on the farm and at six years old, whenever my mother would go down town shopping or my parents would go away for the weekend, or they'd go out to the field to work. My mother would make me stand in front of this man and say \"Now you obey Wayne, you do everything he tells you to do and if you are disobedient, then I am going to give you a thrashing when you get home.\" Trust me, you didn't want a thrashing from my mother. So, what'd you do at six years old? You did what Wayne Bailey told you. At nine years old, I got up the courage to tell my mother and she didn't believe me. You know what she made me do? I had to go out to the backyard to a big willow tree, break off a switch, go ahead and take my shirt off, and she whipped me on my back for almost thirty minutes, until I said I was lying. That was the darkest day of my life. That was one of the most fearful days of my life, because I knew what was being done to me, as possible something being done to you, was evil and I couldn't do anything about it and my own parent's wouldn't Finally, at the age of thirteen years old, I was quite strong playing football and tossing bails of hay at the farm, and my parents had gone away and this man came up behind me and put his arm on my shoulder. I immediatly swung around, cuffed my hand around his throat, pushed him against the wall in the living room and said, \"if you ever touch me again, I will kill you.\" He never touched me again. I am so thankful that I came to know Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord or I would have destroyed my life. I would be a, probably a homeless person today, but with my personality, I'd have two carts. But, after I came to Christ, I had to ask a question. Why did God permit it? Why me? I didn't do anything to deserve it. I was just a kid. And what I concluded, and I concluded this through reading God's word, the Scriptures, which intellectually I came to understand that they are true. I've debated that over two­hundred and fifty times in Universities all around the world. I know why I believe the Bible. But in the Bible, it shows that God created the creation, God created all of us. But there was a fall and it goes all the way back to a couple known as Adam & Eve and when they rebelled against God, they made wrong choices that alienated them from God. As a result of that alienation, even the world around was part of the fall. It became stained, it became not what God created it to be. As I looked at the world around that's crying out for redemption, I look at man that is crying out for redemption and that's when I realize, God did not cause me to be sexually abused. Now, he did permit it. He permitted it in a fallen world, by fallen people, who had evil intentions in their minds as this man did with me from watching pornography, in all, he took it out on me. But one thing I realized, in eternity past, God knew these things were going to take place and in eternity past, he already knew that he was going to have a solution for it and that was his son, Jesus Christ. When Jesus Christ died on the Cross, to pay the price of all the sin in the world, the rebellion against God. That was in God's mind, in eternity past. Then in the Scriptures, God made this promise. Ah, I am a walking and living example of this promise. He said he would \"Cause all things to work together for the good.\" Now, what happened to me and possibly what is heppened or happening to you is not good. It's not good. But Jesus didn't say everything was good. He said He would cause all things to work together for the good, even evil things that are happening to us or the sex abuse that happened to me, the rape. That he would take that, and cause it to work for the good. and God gave us an out. You see, after I threatened to kill this man and I would have if he'd ever tough me again. Some students and professors in university told me about Jesus Christ. I just laughed at them. I thought it was a big joke. But they challenged me to intellectually examin the Scriptures and the person of Jesus Christ to see who they were and if the Bible was the word of God, and Jesus was the son of God. I just laughed at them, I thought that was ridiculous. You know why? I thought Christians had two brains. One was lost, and the other was out looking for it, I really did. But you know what I found out? As I left the university and travelled throughout the United States, England, Germany, France, Switzerland. I discovered evidence about Jesus, about the Bible I never knew existed. And I'd return to a museum, library, in London, England. It was a Thursday night about six­thirty at night. And I leaned back in my chair, I cuffed my hands behind my head, and right in front of everyone I said, \"It's true, it's true, it's true.\" And what I meant by that is that I can hold the Scriptures in my hand and say what I have is what was written down and has not been changed and what was written down was true. As a result of that, on December the 19th, that year at eight­thirty at night, I put my trust in the Jesus of the Bible. In the best way I knew how. I knew He said, \" if we confess our sins he forgives us,\" and He said we needed to trust His son as Savior and Lord. I didn't understand all that, but Jesus said, \"I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice, and opens the door I will come in.\" So I just said, \"God right now forgive me, I trust you for the forgiveness of my sin for what Jesus did and right now I ask you to come into my life as my Savior and Lord.\" All I know is, nothing happened overnight. In a period of about six­month's my enitre life started to change. But when I come back to my abuse, I knew God had a solution. I knew, that I had gone through a lot of the results of evil in other people. and evil in the world, and God had a way out. It was through his Son and through other's around him called the church, the body of Christ. So I went to the man that shared Christ with me, and I shared with him about my abuse. He believed me. And you know what? For six­month's, he mentored me, he met with me, he discipled me out of the Scriptures, the Bible, the word of God. and you know what happened? For six- month's, I meet with him once a week, and share my heart with him, he would listen. He would take Scriptures and say, \"this is what God says about this, this is what God wants to do here.\" But you see, I never knew that until he took me to the Scriptures. Little by little, for six­month's, I saw my life change right before me and that's when I realized, God's word was true. He will cause all things to work together for the good. It doesn't mean he caused all things, but he'll take anything in your life and turn it for the good. I'm an example of that. You know, I bet you have some questions. I have a lot of questions in life. and you can go to truelife.org and click on to other videos like this one and almost any question you have, there's a video that will answer it. but maybe you're also a little bit like me. I like to somebody eye to eye and you know just interact with them on some of the question that I have. And especially on this area of abuse would be so important. Again, go to truelife.org and you can click on to church finder and you know what? You put in your zip code, whatever, your city and it will bring it right down to pastors and churches in your area, who alread said they would love to meet with you. Isn't that neat? You can have someone who cares about you and about your hurt, personally take time to meet with you and answer your questions. Take advantage of that. Thank you for letting me be, just a little part of your life today.
