When oppression can rubble us…
Our cubs know what a rubbled nation looks like when they watch the NEWS of bombings and air-strikes happening in some nations. Even a little baby cub will tell us what a military war-weapon like a loaded missile can do to a village or town. The aftermath is terrible. Bloodshed on one side, wounds and hurt-feelings on another; instant want and need on one side, sudden poverty of living on another; confusion and wrath on one side, sadness from loss of lives and livelihood on another; indeed, this list can continue long enough to exhaust one’s emotions, is it not?
The oppression of evil through those in allegiance, is no different from such a rubbling. Our lives can be shattered in an instant when one who is filled with evil’s satanic spirits have entered into our homes or lives. And for some reason, they never leave, as they hold on to their parasitic tendencies in order to deplete another so as to live…
When we look at rebuilding lives in such a situation, mere works of the normal WILL NEVER DO. It is not just some one-off-conflict or a bunch-of-battles, it is an every-moment-war. It is not about fighting human-factors, it is all about becoming a target of the dark-world of evil-dom. It may not have anything to do with earthly military war weapons, but it will have everything to do with the spiritual warfare weapons. Indeed, it very basically represents at the core, a personal war, between what the mind dictates and what the soul vindicates… resulting with either loads of lessons, mega understanding, leaps in wisdom and mighty inner-strength or very simply a heap of burnt ashes – of the remains of our mortal form.
So then how can the oppressed be saved from remaining rubbled?
As always it is The Truth that SETS FREE much and many. Accepting the status as “being oppressed” or “IN oppression” is by itself a major self-awakening. Indeed, oppression comes from the wrong, discipline comes from what is right. It will be fatal for the oppressed IF the oppressor is confused with, whether he or she or they – are coming from evil’s forces or not. God may seem like an oppressor when he is disciplining us, so also our parents and teachers, but the outcome is his goal of our transformation, our pruning. However, the aims of the oppressor are those of destruction, of wanting to see something or someone totally disfigured and destroyed. Basically, an oppressor will never work for our good but will do everything possible for our obliteration…
Rising up with the awakening of being oppressed, especially after a thorough heartfelt reconciliation will open-up the phase of RESTORATION, as in to set-right all the basics that can be rectified immediately, so as to bring about a situation of “as much as before” of what was right, leaving out everything that went wrong. For eg when a person has been rubbled because of a heart-ache, when a marriage has been called-off or revoked, when the love of one’s life walks away for another, when our cubs throw us out of our own household, etc., then the sorrow that oppresses us, all those against us who torment us, the situation that may seem to have turned into our grave, all of these when reconciled with, will lead to an awakening that will help accept what is, as is, and then help clear the rubble that had set-in… Hence restoration is a phase that involves maybe paying-up pending bills, clearing some long-pending muck in one’s work-place or home, even setting right again one’s garden if there was one… Such a clean-up operation when done in prayer, can yield greater wholesome healing in the long run. Nope! Not saying at all that the healing is done, but yes, this is a place where the first-aid is given, where healing is set to begin…
It is after the restoration that REBUILDING can begin, when another intense, intricate, thorough, passionately holy and humbly-surrendered reconciliation of all that was and that which will hopefully get to be, can open, for the no-longer oppressed, human on earth.
