The Veil (4) Wounds

A few weeks ago, I read a book called The Veil by Blake Healy. Blake Healy sees the wounds that many people carry. As I understand it, these do not exist in the spiritual realms. We carry them on our souls, in our mind and our memory.

When I looked at Chuck in the spirit I saw cuts and scars along his face. They came in different lengths and depths each time I saw him.

Not all wounds are the same of course. Some fade away within hours, others heal into scars that never fully leave, and still others are not allowed to heal, festering into rotten gashes that corrupt muscle and bone. How these wounds affect you is, fortunately and unfortunately, entirely up to you. I’ve met people who have let one idle word pull them into a dark pit of forgiveness, bitterness, and self-pity. While others turn a past full of abuse and shame into a crown into a crown of glory by giving it over to the one who died to heal every hurt.

Wounds that go untended skew our view those around us and ourselves. While part of the strategy of the demonic is to deceive us into believing lies about ourselves, the other part is trying to get us to believe those lies about others.
Demons have no authority over you unless you give it to them. A demonic entity has no right to act in your life without expressed agreement from you.

It is our fears, grudges, and wounds that let demons in; and it is our fears, grudges, and wounds that make it impossible for them to level.

Lies are the only power that demons have, and lies are only powerful if you believe them.

When demonic lies start mixing with worries or fear. It reinforces the enemy’s access.

Fear is the expectation of attack or pain, meaning you believe whatever you are afraid of has the capacity to do you harm. That belief is faith that darkness has power over you. It is a disservice the authority God has given to you to be afraid of anything demonic.
