How God Delivered Me From Every Bully I Had To Deal With

 PSALM 145:3 (NLT)

Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! No one can measure his greatness.

I sincerely thank God for everything, particularly for how He changed me and increased my faith in Him. I used to be perplexed by the people around me because they would betray me, bully me, or make fun of me even though I hadn't done anything wrong.

I recall that in my fourth year of high school (grade 10), after our retreat, my bag was left at a classmate's house close to our school, but I didn't get it the following day since I had missed class on Friday and lived a long way from the classmate's home. When I arrived at school on Monday, I was shocked to hear my classmates gossiping about what they had seen inside the bag, which was quite disgusting. I am aware that they are referring to me specifically.

They removed all of my belongings from my bag and opened my used underwear. One of them eventually developed a conscience, though she insisted she had nothing to do with opening the bag. When she told me, I cried in secret because I couldn't explain how I felt on the inside. Additionally, I am unable to express my anger toward them since I am either too terrified or unsure how to do so. I will choose to disregard what they did.

I thought the bullying would stop when I started university, but instead, it got worse. There are numerous ways in which they will make fun of you using your last name, and I find that their bullying of me in particular irritates me. They persisted in making fun of me since I didn't fight back. My accent and pronunciation compel them to mock the way I speak. I was reluctant to speak up for the same reason. In spite of how much it hurts me internally, I choose to smile when someone abuses me. Additionally, I experienced peer yelling.

Furthermore, I have received many "bad words," such as that my height is very short and even Coca-Cola being linked to me. I stopped communicating with the person who said this after I heard his words. In the university, I also have a batchmate from the same town. She abruptly informed my friend that though I'm classy and always sexy, I don't have a brain. Since I know she doesn't like me, I avoid her because if I see her, I'm afraid of what she might say to me.

Then my friend has a friend who doesn't like me and just has negative things to say about me. Even though we met in the restaurant where they were together, there was a moment when my friend did not speak to me because she was concerned that her companion would become enraged if she did so. Then it hurts because your own friend ignores you despite the fact that I keep calling and many people have heard me.

I questioned why people were like that. They bully us because they don't have decent manners, and they despise us despite the fact that we have done nothing wrong to them. They will spoil us, even if they don't know who we are.

Years later, when I became a "born again," that is when I truly comprehended why people are that way.

JOHN 3:3 (NLT)

Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.”

They are still under the control of evil spirits. They are not yet aware of the truth. My emotions are conflicted, including hurt, anger, fear, etc. But because I didn't comprehend and wasn't redeemed at the time, I was also oppressed and possessed by demons. In particular, we will all be attacked by the devil at any time, especially if the person is still being deceived by the devil, so we never know those things. This is why I experienced those feelings from people who mocked and disrespected me.

Unless a person is born again in the Spirit and God himself reveals the truth to us, we will understand, and that will set us free. There are many different types of demons in people, and they are unaware that we are engaged in "spiritual warfare." Therefore, "HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST" is the Lord and Savior that we need. Every chain can be broken through the authority of Jesus' name. 

JOHN 8:32 (NLT)

And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Then I realised that I needed to pray and forgive them because they still did not know the truth.

LUKE 6:28 (NLT)

Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you.

1 PETER 3:9 (NLT)

Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will grant you his blessing.

ROMANS 12:17-21 (NLT)

17 Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. 18 Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.

19 Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them back,”says the Lord.

20 Instead, “If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads.”

21 Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.

3 JOHN 1:11 (NLT)

11 Dear friend, don’t let this bad example influence you. Follow only what is good. Remember that those who do good prove that they are God’s children, and those who do evil prove that they do not know God.

Even though I had previously moved to another country, my friend said that when she encountered her friend, she once again made rude things about me. However, I am aware that my friend and her friend are being used by the devil (SATAN) to make me upset when I hear the statements that are being passed on. However, in actuality, it is people's wicked spirits who are my adversaries. Because of this, I instantly rebuked the "spirit of anger" in Jesus' Mighty Name and put on all of God's armour to protect myself against the true enemy. Praise be to God! Very efficient!

Meditate on the word of the Lord if you go through something similar to mine. You are extremely cherished by God. He does not want you to feel lonely, unloved, or depressed in any other way. But the love of God is overflowing. We need to be vigilant because Satan will employ people to harm or attack us. Let's be kind to and forgive our enemies (men). Not "man" or "flesh and blood," but Satan is truly our enemy.

EPHESIANS 6:10-12 (NLT)

10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

MATTHEW 5:43-48 (NLT)

43 “You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. 44 But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!45 In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. 46 If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. 47 If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. 48 But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.

MATTHEW 18:21-22 (NLT)

21 Then Peter came to him and asked, “Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?”

22 “No, not seven times,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven!
