Saints in Abusive Domestic Violent Relationships (Pastor's Healing Pastor's Conference 2009) November 6-8, 2009 RESCHEDULED by POPULAR DEMAND

[Bishop Ronald S. Hobson, Sr.]

BECAUSE OF THE OVERWHELMING RESPONSES TO THIS MUCH NEEDED CONFERENCE WE HAVE TO RESCHEDULE THE CONFERENCE TO A LARGER FACILITY. I really want this to be an informative conference with as many professionals as possible. STAY TUNED FOR THE NEW DATE IN 2010.




This week I had to witness the funeral for one of my dear friends, who served with my wife and I at our church and fellowship. The person that killed her was her husband, who was prematurelly consecrated to the office of Bishop( not consecrated by me) in the Lord's church. He served with me and would not however listen to the prophetic instructions given to him by many men and women of God. This preacher was gifted in playing the organ but not gifted to hear God which resulted in many years of domestic violence to his wife. Now, I do know each family has their share of dis-agreements, but it should never relate to killing one another. PASTOR'S, BISHOP'S,APOSTLE'S and Saints, never allow the enemy to get you to the point you ignore God..IT IS OK TO SEEK HELP!!!!!!! please share with me your thought of putting together a PASTOR'S HEALING PASTOR'S Conference....

[Prophetess Yolanda O. Irons]

Iam in total agreement for I was a victim of abuse in my marriage but I was not beaten but it was verbal . Alot of people don't understand that verbal abuse hurts way worst than getting hit because the scars are on the inside . It took a long time for me to heal but I am stil here because I really sought the Lord for my deliverance out of the marriage . I was the great pretender , I was constantly reassuring my family and friends that I was ok when I was tore up from the floor up and hurting deep inside . But I thank God that I know how to pray through for the breakthrough , for had I stayed in this marriage , I most likely would have been in a mental institution or worse . Bother , I support you in this effort because the Church has not been effective in dealing with domestic abuse . I am quite sure a lot of our sisters and brothers have been going through this and keeping silent about it because they are ashamed . I think we should really address this and deal with it . Thank you for such a informative blog to make us aware of this issue .

My prayers are with the victim's, the batterers as well as all who plan to be involved in this conference. This is indeed a need in the body of Christ. I'm working on something similiar, but it's geared more towards the Youth. Kids are suffering in these households. They come to church with their parents, see them "praising", but when they get home, it's back to war. It seems the only people who really are speaking up and reaching out for some REAL help, are the children. Keep me in your prayers.

Coming from a family which has endured generations of this curse and having witnessed this firsthand as a child I am more than happy to volunteer to put this conference together. I certainly praise God on your behalf in this endeavor.

[Minister M]

Bishop:
I'm with you. I would love to see this come to fruition. I've seen this generational curse in my family for decades and saw firsthand the devastation it can do to someone close to you. I would love to help put this conference together.

this is a pass due topic in the church that a lot of couples are dealing with . I was a wife of a man who was involved in the church very close to the pastor and i would go to the pastor and ask for help and instead of the pastors sitting him down and dealing with him i was treated like the one that was in the wrong and i felt so lost i wondered why this pastor over looked this telling me to be patient and trust god oh i did that but it just got worse until i started fighting back then we both were hitting each other the lord stepped in truly moved me from the state i lived in to another met a pastor who was truly a man of god and stepped in to try and help but he told me just because i am saved doesn't mean i have to live with the abuse that it was ok to call the police and i did just that took control and god eventually moved him out of my life my pastor and his wife helped me recover from that process. i knew if something did not change it was going to be me or him i had kids and i did what was best. now i am happy healed and telling every one i meet that they don't have to stay in an abusive situation no matter what the title is he is still a man and god is not with him when he is cussing you and beating you. i am encourage to see someone start a conference about this so many still trapped by wrong counsel and think they can't get out of it. i realized that if god don't treat me like a dog so why should i settle for my husband who should be covering me and loving me treat me that way. We really need to wake people up in the church about misguiding people to stay with abusive spouses its time out for shame and not wanting anyone to know its better someone knows because maybe it could save your life. my heart gos out to the friend who lost their life but we can help others not to have the same result. God bless you Bishop for what your going to do .

[PASTOR ELAINE SMOTHERS]

BLESS YOU BISHOP, WE NEED TO LET OUR PREACHERS AND MEMBERS KNOW THAT IT'S OK FOR US TO ASK FOR HELP. AND NOT HAVE IT HELD AGAINST US WHEN WE DO SEEK HELP FROM OUR LEADERS AND THE CHURCHES. THE CONFERENCE IS MUCH NEEDED. I'M PRAYING FOR YOU.

BLESSINGS PASTOR E.

[Prophetess A. Brown]

Bishop I pray that the Lord will heal all wounds. But in the mist of our hardship that is when God will use us mightly. I do agree on what God has given you. We need to be very sentative to the Voice of God. We need to know when to move and how to. I pray that this Pastor healing Pastors conference will ans it will be a great Sucess. sometimes Pastors feel as if they know it alland are above instructions. Now I know why God changed my sermon to IN Authority but under Authority. Because it is not about us it is only about him.
