Fear Not Friday | Pursue Darkness

On the question of fear, ask yourself: Am I pursuing darkness or light?

Does anyone ever really try to pursue darkness? Maybe, but the question is do you?

Our sexuality is so deeply intertwined with and expressive of our gender, our heart, our yearning for pleasure and for love-it is core to our being. When harm is done here, it is done in the depths of our existence, and our enemy seizes the opportunity to access dark strongholds within us. Those places of oppression tend to be among the deepest forms of oppression people experience, because evil has accessed wounding done to core parts of our soul. Our hope is that as those strongholds are broken, we can experience a healing and freedom otherwise impossible apart from God banishing the darkness and reclaiming His own.

From the article, Sexual Abuse and the Nature of Evil by Dr. Dan Allender: “I have come to believe that the most significant portions of a story of abuse are guarded not only by our self but also by foul spirits that threaten, mock, confuse, and shut down our internal world whenever we get too close to shame and heartache. Are they in us, outside of us, around us? Are they demons? Fallen angels? Speculation is not my goal-only discernment and engagement are.”

This is such an important piece of all childhood sexual crimes. “ Because evil has accessed wounding done to core parts of our soul. “ We all know this to be true. No one said, “goodness was in my childhood sexual abuse.” We all know it was dark and evil.

Join me on January 22, 2025, for a candid discussion on The Pedophile Huntress podcast, where we will be discussing this in detail.

The article continues, “Evil’s primary way of operating is in darkness and secrecy, subtly using its cunning to reach its ultimate goal: ruining the glory of God. It will expend no more energy against a person, marriage, family, institution, or community than it needs to achieve its goal. If a person can be seduced by hours of television, sabotaged through a depression, or lulled into self-sufficiency through money, a degree, or a set of convictions that limit curiosity, then evil will likely focus more attention on those who are more dangerous to its kingdom.”
