pride gives permission for demonic influence to do business with us--humility slams the door. we must recognize pride--this rise in our core--to avoid the pending chaos; repentance invites the desired stability of the Holy Spirit. Evil is (for the most part) unfeeling. It lacks sorrow when someone suffers and joy when there is happiness. But an evil person is more than emotionally detached; he simply will not allow himself to enter the heart of his victim as a person. The victim is an object – an entity to be controlled or destroyed- and not a living, breathing being who feels hurt, fear, sorrow, and shame. In that regard, evil sees the other as nothing more than a service to itself. Evil finds its nourishment in the ability to soullessly eschew relational and emotional entanglements. It is as if the Power of Darkness offers the person freedom from human emotion, including the ability to harm others without guilt or fear, if he merely gives his soul to evil. An evil person, regularly and masterfully, portrays his motives and behavior as innocent. Others just do not understand. He is deceitfully gifted in making the victim of his abuse feel like the perpetrator of the harm. Bold Love 2 Tim. 3:4, 5--writing of the last days: They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act as if they are religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. You must stay away from people like that. God never intended that we have a distant or undecipherable understanding of His Holy Spirit. in fact, Jesus regulates that the Holy Spirit would simply “take what is mine and reveal it to you” (John 16:15). receiving the Spirit’s ministry was never meant to be disastrous or spooky. Take what I have known And break it all apart For You my God, are greater still. https://m.youtube/watch?v=Vf2YJAG84_8
