Open Letter to Justin Bieber - Stay in the Light

Let me Love You and be Made Brand New — A Promise

Justin, when it comes to the paparazzi... don’t engage. They don’t care. They’re not listening. They are the reflection of narcissism, and won't say sorry. They will gaslight you. They will mock you. They will use everything against you.

Justin, you need to say goodbye.
Say goodbye to caring, to fans, to money.
You need to expose and reveal the truth.

Remember what our Lord said:
"The truth will set you free."

You need to stop hiding.
You need to stop worrying.
Bring everything into the light.

Be fearless, Justin. Stay in the light.

There are people who love you — people who care. Those will not leave your side. The ones who leave, were never worthy of being called your fans, your friends, or your family.

Justin, bring it all to the light.
The Lord will give you the grace to face whatever comes.

Maybe there is a lot of ugliness.
Maybe you’ve committed evil acts.
Maybe there’s shame.

It’s okay. Stay in the light.
Jesus forgives it all — when we repent.
When we change our actions, our heart, our mind...
Jesus heals. Jesus frees.

God will never test us beyond our strength.
He will never leave us. He will never abandon us.
You need to know: His promises stand firm.

Embracing that truth means our actions must be fearless, Justin.
Fearless.
Do not let them manipulate you.
Do not let anyone shame you.
Do not let fear engulf you.

Walk into the light.

Whatever consequences come,
the Lord will give you the grace to face them.
Your family is in His hands.

Stop running, Justin.
It’s time to expose the truth — all of it.
Only that will bring you freedom, healing, and the ability to move forward.

1. But first: You must repent.

Take responsibility for your actions —
for your part in each situation,
for your reactions to every clash,
every attack.

You need to bravely, clearly look at yourself —
your life, your past mistakes, your choices —
and repent for your part in them.

Then, ask forgiveness from those you’ve hurt.
That is justice. That is love.
That is being meek and humble — like your Master.

2. Next, forgive.

Forgive everyone who has hurt you —
not for their sake, but in the name of Jesus Christ. Be specific about what you are forgiving them for.

Say:
"In the name of Jesus, I forgive...for..."
"In the name of Jesus, I forgive...for..."

And Justin — include yourself in that list.
Be specific. Name everything you need to forgive yourself for.

3. Then, renounce everything you no longer want in your life.

Say:
"In the name of Jesus, I renounce..."
— impurity, drugs, ambition, pride,  loneliness, greed, pride, anger, rage, vanity, hatred, lust, fear of jail, fear of being alone…etc

Renounce it all.
Kick it out of your life in Jesus’ name.

4. Then break the power of the lie.
All the lies that hound your mind and heart.

Say:
"In the name of Jesus Christ, I break the power of the lie that..."
Fill in the blank. Name every lie that’s ever been spoken over your life — every lie the enemy has whispered, every lie that echoes in your heart.

5. Renounce them. Break them. In Jesus’ name.

And Justin — break every spiritual tie.
Break the ties with Selena Gomez. It is time.
Break ties with anyone you’ve had a sexual or deeply physical connection with.
Break ties with anyone who has practiced witchcraft, tarot, psychics — anyone who has done spiritual harm.

Say:
"In the name of Jesus, I break all spiritual ties, curses, hexes, and spells placed over my life."

Do it with faith, Justin. In the name of Jesus.

6. Now, take authority.

Say:
"In the name of Jesus Christ, and by the authority given to me as a Christian, I command all these things I have renounced to leave me now and go to Jesus Christ to do with them as He wills."

7. Then stand firm in your freedom.
Thank God.

8.Finally, ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with the opposite of all that you renounced:

Faith, love, fortitude, peace, purity...
Let the Holy Spirit flood your heart.

Now, Justin — you are free. Stay in the Light.

Thanks be to God for our Lord Jesus Christ.
For freedom He has set you free.

Peaceful Parenting: Gotta Give it to God

Talking about Christianity lately has become almost taboo. Many parents would rather have their children believe in nothing than give them guidance and teach them about religion. It may be because they do not have faith themselves, or simply because they are full of doubts. Sometimes maybe they would rather “wash their hands” of the whole matter than have their kids complain to them later in life about the faith they were taught.

            So, children grow up with no spiritual guidance. All they hear in school and the media is: “All religions are right.” “We need to be inclusive.” “We cannot offend others by sharing our beliefs!” And so on.

But this is not the right approach because it suggests there is no need for us to pick one! Some people think all religions are right, but they should at least realize that all the religions do not have the fullness of the truth. The fact that some believe all religions are right does not mean that we should stay lukewarm and not go deeply into our Christian faith. We need to be on fire, full of love for God. If we are not, in the long run we will have a void and feel a deep emptiness within us.

            Someone once said, “If we don’t teach them, someone else will.” When children and adolescents grow up with no spiritual guidance, it is almost guaranteed that they will lose their path. We must teach what is pleasing to God. We need to be the light of the world, just as Jesus asked us to be. We need to teach obedience and self-control; after all, Christ calls us to obedience. Just as there are laws that rule the universe and the world, so there are laws that rule us¾laws for which we are accountable to our God and to our neighbor. The Bible reminds us: “So then each of us shall give an account of himself to God.” (Romans 14:12)

Why do you think there are so many problems today with children and teenagers? Why do you think there are problems such as school shootings, gang violence and teenage pregnancy? Why should we be surprised at how easy it is for children to pull a trigger if we have never taught them that there are just some things in life that are absolutely wrong? What stops a child who has never been taught the way to live a good life? What stops a child who has not learned any boundaries and is not afraid of anything? What stops a child who has never been taught that there are consequences to all our actions? Christianity is our only hope because it teaches the truth. We cannot underestimate the danger of not teaching what is right and what is wrong and, most important, what pleases God.

            We must not be indifferent to our Christian religion. Our religion contains the story of our salvation. Our religion is us acting on God’s gift to us. Our religion is our compass to Christ, and Christ is our way to heaven. Through our religion, we learn about God’s love; we learn to trust Him and respect Him. We open our hearts to Him when we learn how Jesus Christ came to this world and died for our sins on the cross. We understand that He rose from the dead, and so today we can truly rejoice and sing a song that says, “I am saved. I have been rescued by the arms of Jesus.” Thinking about God’s gift of everlasting life to us transforms our lives. Knowing that He loved us first and not because we deserved it or because of any merit of ours but simply because He is love itself and we are precious to Him this makes all the difference. This amazing truth is enough to make us people of joy, people of love, people of truth, people of obedience, people who belong to Christ. So vital a truth should not be hidden, suppressed or kept for later. We must investigate it, study it, share it and make it part of our life.

So many people become complacent, living a life that is empty. They feel this emptiness, so they try to fill it with many things, only to find out that they still feel this void inside. Until we soothe our spirit with God’s goodness, until we fulfill our spiritual need by finding God’s saving love, we will not be able to find true happiness.

            Many people go to a psychologist, putting all their faith in the services of a professional caregiver. And the psychologist does his or her best, trying to find a psychological cause for the problem. The doctor finds a logical reason and prescribes a medicine. But if the soul is not healed, the medicine will give only temporary relief, a temporary fix. We must go to the root of the problem. If we want to permanently find happiness, joy and peace, we must first be embraced by God’s healing love!

Wisdom to contemplate:

“‘Everything is lawful for me,’ but not everything is beneficial. ‘Everything is lawful for me,’ but I will not let myself be dominated by anything.” (1 Corinthians 6:12).

“But you, man of God, avoid all this. Instead, pursue righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. Compete well for the faith. Lay hold of eternal life, to which you were called when you made the noble confession in the presence of many witnesses. (1 Timothy 6:11-12)



“Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.” (John 6:47)



“Tell them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, ready to share, thus accumulating as treasure a good foundation for the future, so as to win the life that is true life.” (1 Timothy 6:18-19)
