..wauw.
You just integrated two major topics in one - the devil and suffering..


For more than twenty years, I ve been battered by these..vile things; and it is one long way of learning.
It takes a long time before you realize, that actually something else is inside you, and telling and showing you things - a wide range of thoughts, varying from negative joy till outspoken vile and terribly shameful thougts - mainly directed to Him.

After that, when you realize that you can t get it out yourself, you go into the cirkus of asking different kinds of &#039;believers &#039; with different kinds of &#039;methods &#039;.
..but once you realize, that &#039;It &#039; can &#039;see &#039; already if such a believer truely knows Him - or just &#039;believes in his OWN faith - and like a razorblade opens any armor of that believer in front of you,
you start to withdraw in yourself -
or better, in yourself, towards Him.

- years later,
by His Grace,
He can come to you PERSONALLY,
- and just speak one word, to &#039;it&#039;,
not shouting ( like all the éxorcists &#039; think they have to,
but with such intrensic authority, that is immesureable,
- and &#039;it &#039; obeys, before He ended the words

- not one &#039;it &#039;; several,
and different &#039;categories &#039;.



I tell this, because your topic above is true. The devil won t attack an empty vessel.
- but I feel, what you describe, are the attacks to those who seriously search to be like He wishes so much, we&#039;d be.
- with other words: what you describe, is the shadow of the devil, and the means he uses, trying to obstruct His&#039;people from coming to the point of their &#039;regenerated, Spiritfilled life..


- once REACHED, he will undoubtely be no shadow no more, but, because of the new eyesight, be as real as He will be

if you ask me, but He is bigger anyway - yes, ofcourse, but still the devil is in my eyes hundred times more big than ME -
and the only thing, I m worried about, are cracks in my armor
..because the slightest will be enough
Even He supersedes in power with a faktor 1000


-I m sorry.

Now comes in the suffering;

the real reason of suffering is, appereantly, and as I understood it, to free the soul from my &#039;Me &#039;. 
What I d like to call &#039;me &#039; is just a mixup of situation, personal record of mistakes or joys, some charactersides I inherited, and the result of a good lunch this afternoon.

- with other words: I have no clue, who I am.
I think I know, but I don&#039;t.

..He knows, though.
just I don&#039;t.


with suffering, with the blocking of the capabilities of the &#039;me &#039;, it is His goal to get the soul ALONE with Him.
..He does not hate the soul, but hates the self-sufficient and proud &#039;Me &#039;.

and the &#039;me &#039;will NEVER surrender.
..only after long, hard periods of suffering - it doesn&#039;t matter WHAT kind of suffering; 
but be sure that He knows the exact kind and time for it, to can weaken your soul from your &#039;me &#039;

once, - and it is the most hardest part ever to learn - the soul cannot, with help of the &#039;me &#039; , defend herself no longer,
and realizes, it HAS no own power
to virtually nothing,
- but to believe, that He HAS -

slowly, He will give back your.. &#039;faculties &#039; to your soul,
and every faculty will be His&#039;,
and even on His time He choose which faculty He uses:
and &#039;you &#039; only have to repeat what He just told your soul



I feel strongly,
that only when He speaks to your soul,
you can speak those words to others;
and there will be fruit -

because &#039;my &#039; words only reach another&#039;s mind,
but His&#039; another&#039;s heart

		<description>Oooo. Dan I believe God directed me to this story about Hezekiah a few weeks back when you were posting about &#039;ahem&#039; cough Lakeland. ;-)
I have been meditating on the life of Hezekiah  &amp; in particular the verse where God leaves him for a time to see what is in his heart.... remind us of anyone.. .Job... I used it a little in a message about repentance &amp; seeking God&#039;s heart &amp; will for our lives...I&#039;m still developing it....
This is a great post &amp; one we here are all too familiar with at the moment. 
A friend gave me the novel &#039;Veritas&#039; (about the spiritual battle) for some light reading yesterday, well, it&#039;s no amazing theological work, but it got me attention &amp; I&#039;ve been praying harder ever since.
Thanks</description>

		<description>akaGaGa,

Jesus begins his public ministry by reading about His mission to alleviate suffering:
&lt;blockquote&gt;And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written, &quot;The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord&#039;s favor.&quot; And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. And he began to say to them, &quot;Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.&quot; 
—Luke 4:17-21
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Countless healings, countless exorcisms, countless people freed from sin, countless lives changed from sorrowful to joyful...if that&#039;s not the alleviation from suffering, I don&#039;t know what is. Christ&#039;s entire public ministry was the alleviation of suffering. Consider also this passage:
&lt;blockquote&gt;
The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 
—1 John 3:8b
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
The Devil brings suffering. Christ destroys the Enemy&#039;s work, again alleviating suffering.</description>
