👓 Quick Take (21 Nov 2025): When an altar is broken—whether in a family, church, or Christian community—the fire of God will not fall on it. In this week’s Kingdom Finance Revolution Live, William Abraham (author of the Kingdom Finance Revolution, available on Amazon or though the link below) exposes how abuse within Christian environments creates a shared field of pain for survivors and for anyone trapped inside the post-abuse system where offenders and institutions try to manage the fallout. Scripture demands repentance that is truthful, specific, accountable, humble, costly, restorative, and observable over time—because only that kind of truth rebuilds the altar.
We also look at secondary victimisation, DARVO, family systems that silence truth-tellers, and why “peacekeeping” is not the same as peacemaking. Elijah rebuilt the altar before calling for fire — and so must we.
You’ll Discover:
1. Broken Altars — What They Are and Why God Withholds His Fire
- When secrecy replaces truth
- The Elijah blueprint: repair the altar first
- Why God does not bless worship built on denial or distortion
-The danger of preserving “family image” rather than reality
2. What Real Repentance Requires (2 Corinthians 7:10–11) -Biblical repentance is:
- truthful, specific, accountable, humble, costly, restorative, and observable over time
- Not emotional. Not defensive. Not vague. Not demanding reconciliation without repair
3. Trauma Reality & Post-Abuse Dynamics. - Proper term: secondary victimisation (post-traumatic invalidation). Key behaviours include:
- DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim & Offender)
- Blame-shifting
- Selective amnesia
- Spiritualised gaslighting
- “You’re dividing the family” narratives
- Tone-policing the survivor
- "Flying monkeys" - ecosystem enablers
- Image-repair instead of repentance
4. The Shared Field of Pain - Unhealed systems develop:
- Taboo topics
- Isolated truth-tellers
- Silence as "Peace"
- Decisions shaped by avoiding explosions, not healing
- God does not shame survival systems — He calms, retrains, and heals them
5. When Repentance Fails — The Godly Path Forward - When the offender refuses trauma-informed restorative repentance, the godly path is:
- Boundaries
- Protection
- Truth-telling by survivor
- Healing that continues without returning to the broken altar
- Understanding that reconciliation without truth is counterfeit peace
6. Truth as God’s Requirement
- John 4:23–24 — true worshippers must worship in spirit and in truth
- Truth = unconcealed reality; what is actual, not hidden
- Truth → Repair → Fire → Restoration
