Divorce and Past Abuse Don't Define You

[@mattbingham2856]

I met Blanca after her show here in Washington State. She was very happy, and eager to talk to me and my brother at her merch table. I thanked her for her awesome voice, and how great of a christian woman she is to so many people. She was almost in tears after I said that, and then I shared with her that I had lost my baby girl back in 2007. She was so sincere with me, and after hearing her words in this video I see why God put Blanca and I in each others paths.

Blanca, I want so much to encourage you and take the pain away. I have been in a similar position with a broken marriage. My husband didn't want to work things out, so he walked out. He was the one who filed. I learned to grieve. There was pain from my childhood that needed to be processed, too. The most important thing I learned is that I had a choice to make. I could let divorce make me bitter or better. I was in so much pain I could have let it make me bitter. However, I told the Lord I wanted to heal, no matter what it took. And He honored my decision! I have lived through second singleness and never remarried, and I don't regret that! The Lord grew me up, so now I look forward to meeting my Bridegroom and can't wait for the Wedding Feast! Can you believe that He is so gracious and humble that He's going to serve us?! Oh, how He loves us! How we will celebrate!!!! 😊🤗💕

I have been down this same path as Blanca. God provided healing for me through the book Healing the Wounded Heart by Dan Allender. He was able to take those broken pieces and put them back together. Know that God can take the struggle, the hurt, the pain, the bad and turn it into something good.

My parents divorced when I was 9 almost 10 my mom and stepdad emotionally abused me. I too had insecurities and walks . I too had trouble trust people with my volnerablility . I didn’t start counseling until I was 19 I went in and out until recently when I found a Christian counselor who happened to be my mentor. This February I started the process of letting go of negativity, letting go and forgiveness of my trauma. God is still working on my heart. It’s still not easy to talk about my own story. I hope to some day.

I love this. But this "story" about divorce doesn't include her part in adultery. What about Brianna and the kids. Blanca talks about the pain and healing of her divorce and doesn't even take ownership for the pain she caused on another woman and those young kids. Really disappointed in playing this "victim" card but no acknowledgement for what she did. Disappointed.

Very true the church is very selective and white washes things or does the opposite condemns and shames people she they don't heal property.

Thank you Blanca ! Ive also had a lot of brokenness ,but in it all i learnt to cry on Jesus ,as didnt have anyone i could go to due to a lot of fear and rejection, it took time ,years actually but deep down i knew i could trust Him with the pain of a broken heart Holy Spirit is such a Great Comforter when i was overwhelmed He’d gentle speak ,never condemning words, but alway affirming, reassuring me Its ok Susie I understand and He never interrupted as i told Him my heart , but heard me out , even that act bought in trust ,as when i was a child i stuttered due to physical abuse i was never allowed to express my feelings and I carried that into my adulthood ,so like you i needed to find my voice but it took two failed marriages to get me there and a beautiful lady God bought across my path she coached me with wisdom as she saw what was happening to me The Holy Spirit gave her insight as i had shut down and helped me deal with issues that needed to change and i found my voice since then the Lord has been healing my heart and as ive gone on been able to speak into and helping others of all ages Praise God He is a Restorer of broken lives He makes all thing new ! ❤️🥰🌈🦋

Couple months after this video was uploaded it was revealed that she had had an affair with 'Gawvi'. I feel like the stuff she's saying in this video are only partially true. She blames her childhood trauma for her divorce. And that might be a factor but She's not being *completely* honest. You dont cheat on your husband cause your parents got a divorce... Shes kinda playing the victim card instead of taking responsibility for her actions

[@scholarwork6060]

Christians are suppose to forgive, why didn't he forgive or? Or did she not want to go back?

Exactly I feel sorry for her husband that took care of her child when she was on the road she might be healing but she caused him pain along with her son. People should not get involved in relationships if they have not dealt with past abuse

[@deborahelizabeth8113]

God does hate divorce. He permits us to divorce but the modern take on divorce is a huge red flag to what the Lord says divorce really is. Matthew 19:3-11 says "3[Some] Pharisees came to Jesus, testing Him and asking, "Is it lawful [for a man] to divorce his wife for any reason at all?" 4And He answered and said, "Have you not read that He who created [them] from the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE, 5and said, FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH'? 6"So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate." 7They said to Him, "Why then did Moses command to GIVE HER A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE AND SEND [her] AWAY?" 8He said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart Moses permitted you to divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way. 9"And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery." 10The disciples said to Him, "If the relationship of the man with his wife is like this, it is better not to marry." 11But He said to them, "Not all men [can] accept this statement, but [only] those to whom it has been given."

I was raised by 5-Point Calvinists who used the KJV. I became more like an Arminian, specifically about cut off from God salvation. I use the NASB and NASB 1995, literal translations of the Bible. NKJV reminds me of Southern Baptists and Calvinists use. Jesus Christ's Greatest of the Apostles (disciples) teaching. Jesus Christ's Christian useful merit competition motivation teaching of Mark 9:33-35 from NASB 1995 causes me to be useful much. This text could motivate, supposed to be Christian people, to do all types of usefulness. Chores, volunteering, grade school, high school, college, and work. And so it motivates to be doctors, engineers, and multi-millionaires. I teach on Facebook if you wanted to from my description.

SHE also gave to her HUSBAND WITH HER, and HE ATE. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings. So the final Adam, Jesus, restored what the first Adam lost!

PREACH, girl. 😄 Let me lay the word out further: Why was Eve even near the tree and why was she even looking at it? Why was Adam NEAR her when she ate? Couldn't he prevent her from eating the fruit - let alone SPEAK to the serpent? Adam failed as much as Eve did. That is why God hold them BOTH accountable. That is why the curse was upon them BOTH. Whoever doesn't see THAT, probably is deceived themselves. God bless everyone.

Pastor as a lady is not biblical! That’s unbiblical

[@HBudianu]

Deborah led the armies of Israel...Anna was a prophetess preaching to anyone when she met baby Jesus at the temple...Christ Himself said, Mary, go tell the brothers I am risen...He even commissioned the woman at the well and honoured her preaching to her village about Him by visiting the village... should I go on? You only read about one answer to one letter Paul wrote to a church about one particular woman/particular culture... Whereas the Bible has so many more examples of female preachers and leaders. The fact Christ humbled Himself as a baby into a womb of a young woman (without consulting her dad or fiance first), then lets Himself be blessed by a female prophetess, then commissions Mary to preach as soon as he raised from the dead tells me God does things quite differently than 'the church'.

[@deborahelizabeth8113]

@@HBudianu check out this on Got Questions? What does the bible say about women pastors? "Yet another objection to this interpretation of women in pastoral ministry is in relation to women who held positions of leadership in the Bible, specifically Miriam, Deborah, and Huldah in the Old Testament. It is true that these women were chosen by God for special service to Him and that they stand as models of faith, courage, and, yes, leadership. However, the authority of women in the Old Testament is not relevant to the issue of pastors in the church. The New Testament Epistles present a new paradigm for God’s people-the church, the body of Christ-and that paradigm involves an authority structure unique to the church, not for the nation of Israel or any other Old Testament entity. Similar arguments are made using Priscilla and Phoebe in the New Testament. In Acts 18, Priscilla and Aquila are presented as faithful ministers for Christ. In verse 18, Priscilla’s name is mentioned first, suggesting to some that she was more prominent in ministry than her husband. (The detail of whose name comes first is probably inconsequential, because in verses 2 and 26 the order is reversed from that of verse 18.) Did Priscilla and her husband teach the gospel of Jesus Christ to Apollos? Yes, in their home they “explained to him the way of God more adequately” (Acts 18:26). Does the Bible ever say that Priscilla pastored a church or taught publicly or became the spiritual leader of a congregation of saints? No. As far as we know, Priscilla was not involved in ministry activity in contradiction to 1 Timothy 2:11-14. In Romans 16:1, Phoebe is called a “deacon” (or “servant”) in the church and is highly commended by Paul. But, as with Priscilla, there is nothing in Scripture to indicate that Phoebe was a pastor or a teacher of men in the church. “Able to teach” is given as a qualification for elders, but not for deacons (1 Timothy 3:1-13; Titus 1:6-9). The structure of 1 Timothy 2:11-14 makes the reason why women cannot be pastors perfectly clear. Verse 13 begins with “for,” giving the “cause” of Paul’s statement in verses 11-12. Why should women not teach or have authority over men? Because “Adam was created first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived” (verses 13-14). God created Adam first and then created Eve to be a “helper” for Adam. The order of creation has universal application in the family (Ephesians 5:22-33) and in the church. The fact that Eve was deceived is also given in 1 Timothy 2:14 as a reason for women not serving as pastors or having spiritual authority over men. This does not mean that women are gullible or that they are all more easily deceived than men. If all women are more easily deceived, why would they be allowed to teach children (who are easily deceived) and other women (who are supposedly more easily deceived)? The text simply says that women are not to teach men or have spiritual authority over men because Eve was deceived. God has chosen to give men the primary teaching authority in the church. Many women excel in gifts of hospitality, mercy, teaching, evangelism, and helping/serving. Much of the ministry of the local church depends on women. Women in the church are not restricted from public praying or prophesying (1 Corinthians 11:5), only from having spiritual teaching authority over men. The Bible nowhere restricts women from exercising the gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12). Women, just as much as men, are called to minister to others, to demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), and to proclaim the gospel to the lost (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; 1 Peter 3:15). God has ordained that only men are to serve in positions of spiritual teaching authority in the church. This is not because men are necessarily better teachers or because women are inferior or less intelligent (which is not the case). It is simply the way God designed the church to function. Men are to set the example in spiritual leadership-in their lives and through their words. Women are to take a less authoritative role. Women are encouraged to teach other women (Titus 2:3-5). The Bible also does not restrict women from teaching children. The only activity women are restricted from is teaching or having spiritual authority over men. This precludes women from serving as pastors to men. This does not make women less important, by any means, but rather gives them a ministry focus more in agreement with God’s plan and His gifting of them."
