The Healed Head Wound
Mickiel:
I sure know about that darkness. Being exposed to it is a raging storm, and a deceitful one. An interesting question; " How great is the darkness."
arion:
Head wound.
Here is how I see it. When I came to Christ [conscious decision to follow him, altar call, confirmation...whatever the church you were in describes salvation] that beast within received a deadly wound...or so I thought. For a time we seem to be making a lot of progress in the Christian life. Some of the past sins seem to regress, I seem to have a new life, I tend to be more loving, kind and understanding, I really think I'm making a lot of headway into this Christian life. The flesh can accomplish a lot of things....but it's still flesh. Flesh can't change the real problems of course as those are spiritual.
At some point in my walk I am sucked back into the world's system and that definitely includes the church system where now serving God means going to church, tithing, becoming involved in ministry of one kind or the other. And over a period of time I fall away from my 'first' love or as Ray put it our primary love which is supposed to be Christ. In time, all of those suppressed sins which I thought were done away with come back with a vengeance and I fall away back into the world.
The 'deadly' wound has been healed and the beast is as strong again as ever and I stand totally defeated.
Rev 13:3[7] And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast..... And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
With Paul I can commiserate;
Rom 7:18-25 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

I want to answer this question of How great is this darkness because I am well acquainted with it
also. It was so deceiving and real to me that I tried to convince my grown children to commit murder suicide because the alternative was worse. Alternative being all the terror I was forced
( persuaded) to believe. It led to a brokenness I had never experienced before which also led me to knowing God. Before this happened I had never read scripture or gone to church. I had never heard the term ( being dragged to Him ) until I was led to BT. I knew nothing. I am learning all
about Babylon and it's false doctrines from reading all of the experience here on this forum and of course Mr. L Ray Smith. Thank God for him. Thank God for Jesus. THank God for everything.
I experienced the tossing of the waves, the raging storm.
Tossed--- basanizo) torture.....torment
Jesus commanded the decipiles to take the ship to the other shore.
Commanded....compelled...(anankazo) constrained either by threat, entreaty, force or persuasion.
Does this mean I was cast into the lake of fire, ( Jesus) by force. I hope so. I am sincerely
seeking answers from my brothers and sisters.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. I have had many strange, frightening and also wonderful eye opening experiences these past three years and it has become a daily
ocurrance to learn something new, just like you said Largeli, you read with new eyes the same
sentence but with a different meaning than you had before. i love all the little miracles but I am always aware of what Our Father is capable of so I remember to love not the world, be obedient
and thank God for everything. Peace to all of you. Pamela
PS.. I hope I did not offend anyone with my graphic statement about my experience but it is the truth. I apologize if I have.

Greetings,
I think you gave a graphic example of how great the darkness is, to tell your children to commit murder suicide , the magnet that the darkness is has a pull of its own. I think it can be as strong as dragging, the drag taken from the Greek " Helkuo" has two directions. The brokenness digs deep into our conscious memory, a memory we will not soon forget. I often wonder just how the suffering will benefit us in the eternal kingdom of God; you know, just what is God getting from it? And what we are gaining from it? Because since God has done this, I seriously doubt if it could have been done another way?
