Know the truth and the truth may set you free...if you believe it. Jesus is the TRUTH, but if you do not believe Him, He cannot set you free.
Being alone in this fight for your faith, for righteousness and for those who suffer is unbearable and almost impossible.
How is it that after being back in Russia for 11 years, after trying to serve the Lord faithfully for 7 years at the church where He called me to, now everything seems to be completely destroyed, just because of one person who chose to disobey his Creator, who decided to follow his own ways and who does not want God's Kingdom to come on the Earth. This one person who was ordained to be a pastor, did not shepherd the flock, but became a wolf for the sheep that where entrusted him for guidance and protection still does not repent and lies to others.
It is painful to understand that something could be done years earlier if people in my home church did not keep silent, but asked for help. It could happen in 2006, when the first public act of unrighteousness was committed, when this person who still calls himself a pastor, whose name is Melvin Dean Malispina, decided that he can disobey God's order in the church and can marry a couple that was never disciplined and counselled properly. He did not protect a single mother who already was hurt by a broken relationship, but let her and her family to be hurt even more by not telling them the truth of the Word of God, by not stopping her from becoming a wife of an unbeliever, but actually pushing her toward this marriage. Even though he knew the Bible and he was rebuked by the Lord through me before the last counseling session took place, still he chose to proceed and made the whole church to be a witness, he made others to participate in this. This became a snare to many believers who being young in their faith and understanding of the Bible followed the same path. Since then the church continues to suffer, it is hurt upon hurt, when both men's, women's, children's, worship and home ministries had been destroyed. Many lives where broken already, but now even more will be broken including mine, because for some unknown to me reason the church is not the church anymore, because people who ordained this person keep silent and do not want to do anything about this. I asked my brothers and sisters for help and prayer, but there is still dead silence.
The wolf still leads the sheep and eats them up, because fatherless, widows and elderly people cannot find protection. He uses the offering for his own benefit and not even ashamed to be called a wolf. Our African brothers and sisters under a threat of deportation right now. Our brothers and sisters from around the World might be under a threat of not being able to come to Russia again.
Our fellowship needs support and prayers and not silence and indecisiveness, because in reality it is not just one fellowship that is being destroyed, but the whole church in Russia and around the World. Righteousness cannot dwell with darkness. The time is running out for the people who suffered and are suffering right now, who need help, protection, encouragement and restoration.
It can very well be that this person's unrighteous acts are known outside the church, even to the Authorities and it can become a public disgrace and destruction for the God's movement that begun in the 60s and which is known as Calvary Chapel, but it will affect not only our church, it'll affect all Christian churches around the world, because it is impossible for people to come to church when they do not see an example of God's love and righteousness.
I do not know what to do, because I've already asked for help from people. I do not want our church to suffer anymore, I do not want other people to suffer, who do not know the Lord yet and for God's work to be destroyed because of one man, who does not want to do what is right and does not love God with all his mind, heart, strength and soul and love his neighbor as himself.
"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, whatever a man sows, that he will reap. If he sows in his flesh, he will reap corruption, but if he sows in the spirit, of that he will reap everlasting life" Galatians 6:7-8
Lord, please, do not let Your work and Your people to be destroyed, please, establish Your kingdom. Only You can help Your people who cry out day and night for deliverance. Please, give wisdom to the authorities and to the government to do what is right and to ask You for help, because You have all WISDOM and POWER and You are LOVE. May Your perfect will be done on the Earth as it is in Heaven.
Please, pray for our church. God bless you!!! Natasha
