Domestic Abuse in Christian Homes -Televangelist Juanita Bynum Becomes a Victim of Domestic Abuse
Reverend Juanita Bynum is the author of many books and is highly known for her powerful conferences that call for women to empower themselves trough God.
Sadly, Reverend Bynum is not the only case of domestic violence within Christian homes and church leaders. Just recently was the case of the Tennessee mother who shot and killed her pastor husband after alleged years of domestic abuse. She spent seven months in jail and was released this month.
In churches across America many women hide the fact that they are being abused at home. Often the abuser is their pastor spouse. These men take scripture out of context and use it to control their wives. When the Bible speaks of a woman being submissive to her husband, it does not mean for the woman to fetch his slippers, cook him a meal or engage in sex with him on demand. God does not want women to be a slave to their husbands. God's intention was for a married couple to fulfill each other's needs. Eve was created to be Adam's help meet, not his slave. God wants us in marriage to be a compliment of one another. No one spouse is more supreme than the other. Married people should be able to maintain their individuality but blend together as a team.
Somewhere along the way, abusive men of God have forgotten that marriage is a collaboration of two people joined together to over come problems in life and a shared commitment of deep love.
As for Juanita Bynum, no one knows what happened in her marriage but her and God. She will have to go through the healing of her body, spirit and emotions. Reverend Weeks III will have to face the consequences of his actions and hopefully he too will be able to heal over time and get the help he needs.

Post a CommentI loved my wife now has a brain injury and I am seperated even by many miles from her this is Ezekiels dry bones for it ws not just a slap or two I was out of my right mind and even tried to kill her though not my will for her to die Please live real with Jesus and stop acting like we are holy we all need the blood of Yeshua Messiah to make holy I want to tell you that an abuser need sthe support of the church as well. I am not excusing what happened but just want to prevent it from happening to someelse You see we had a picture perfect marriage but I had an on again off again problem with porn and bitterness at life
I cried many tears for deliverance but my own carnal will was in the way I am now again starting to repair the damage that was done that day my 911 that was a real disaster
if you want to hear email me ..................

I am not glad to hear what happened to you whether you were difficult or not it is still a
shame I am an abuser myself and I wanted to tell everyone how it started I am baptized in
Jesus name and filled with the Spirit but when you get to a place of pressing and you are
not mature in Him and are not daily renewed in your mind You can fall I am suprised people
think Christians are immune to sin I was an immature Christian and believed that I was
spiritual I prayed a lot even in the spirit but I had a problem with bitterness that led to porn of which I am now currently free I am a real christian but I really fell the devil is a roaring lion He used my past and present bitterness against me I grew bitter which broke down my defence and bitterness grew to violence against the world and ultimately even the woman .........
continued........... If it was Gods will for us women to be opressed depressed and repressed then I would sit down and shut up. I asked God as a new convert is it you will or is it that I dont like what I hear. As a new convert back in 1988, i always knew put it to God and he will show what the Word is. I am ashamed for most of the rubbish the trash attitudes in the Church. I am a person who will submit if it is taken fro granted then will still submit and when the time is right it will be severely dealt with. We black Pentecostals on my travels we have alot to answer to God for our behaviour. he only reason why I survive in the Pentecostal Church is because I will do my calling and my duty and dea with it. And sometimes I have verbally attacked too to not be pushed around. THE RUBBISH. dOMESTIC ABUSE VERBAL ABUSE MANiPULATION AND DEMONIC CONTROL IT MUST BE ADDRESSED. i AM A Christain and likes to be honest with myself as the truth makes you free, and have expereinced this and de
Prphetess, Juanita, I am so sorry to hear the utter disgrace of a week, wimpy boy who calls himself a child of God. I am a Christian and I so disrespect 'Bishop Thomas Weeks 111'. How dare he, how dare he beat you like that, that demonic devil. He is not well. He can't be well. I read in the article according to Esence magazine that "by the time he finish with you no body will respect you." Wrong I have LOST ALL RESPect for Thomas Weeks. It seems he was brought into your lfe to bring you down. I have not lost repsect for you Juanita and i dont even know you. I also read that at the Atlanta hotel where he hit you and the security held him back you cried "dont hurt my husband". As Christaian women why do feel we must let or husbands walk all over us to the point that when you said dont hurt my husband ; did you think that would make him repent. Or that by sayng that it would communicate to him i beat her but she is still giving a chance.We must be wise as serpents harmless as dove. J

but i know GOD is watching over her!!

Prophetess Bynum, I must say that Everything Happen for God's reason despite I wouldn't wished being a victim of domestic violent on my enemy, yet I experienced it in 1999 just after being married for 2 days yet I was very shock and terrified because I didn't think he was that type of a guy because we used to go together about 3 years before we go together yet that relationship was with me and many other woman and then I have seen it happem to some of my friends yet I still didn't think it would happen to me. Yet I had many episodes until the time when I was apparently knocked out and woke up with my forehead split with a inch from my corner of my left eye than right there I know that this man try to killed me, so I prayed that God would see me through that episode that I will serve Him and yes God saw me through aand 4 months later he tried once more and that is when God gave me the strength to fight back and get away and then he got arrested and had to served 36 months, yet I told t
Prophetess of God, the Lord place you my heart to pray for you this week while i fast and i did just that. only the three of you know what went on but God will keep you as he promise he will. just keep your new heart that the Lord have gave you that you prayed for, which that book has been a blessing to me through my trials that i'm going through. i love you woman of God and may God continue to be with you through it all. i know that God will never leave you nor forsake you
