#"SPIRITUAL" PTSD...
"Mobile" Web.md defines "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder" (PTSD), or what was once called "shell shock" or "battle fatigue syndrome", as a serious condition that can develop after a person has experienced or witnessed a traumatic or terrifying event, in which serious physical harm occurred or "was threatened".
PTSD is a lasting consequence of traumatic ordeals that cause intense fear, helplessness, or horror, such as a sexual or physical assault, the unexpected death of a loved one, an accident, war, or natural disaster. "Families of victims" can also develop PTSD, as can emergency personnel and rescue workers.
Most people who experience a "traumatic event" will have reactions that may include: shock, anger, nervousness, fear, and even guilt.
These reactions are common; and for most people, they go away over time. For a person with PTSD, however, these feelings continue and even increase, becoming so strong that "they keep the person from living a normal life". People with PTSD have symptoms for longer than one month and cannot function as well as before the event occurred.
PTSD is a obviously a serious disorder, that has symptoms that range from the psychological to the physical, and spiritual...
A few days ago, I had an overwhelming peace consume my soul, as The Lord walked me through "HIS process for me", which entailed (interestingly enough), untold physical loss, spiritual warfare, and mental anguish and unbearable pain!
"HIS process for me" does NOT mean HE authored or intended these things to occur.. BUT, in allowing them, I've gained both a "divine perspective (or knowledge of HIM) and a "life capacity" (or competency to manage the difficult or the unknown), which makes me extremely dangerous to the forces of darkness!
Uncompromising in the face of death, is the "same spirit" that "raised Christ from the dead"!
In the past years, many of God's people have and are still suffering with "spiritual" PTSD!
What is "spiritual" PTSD?
It is the "well-worn soul" and the "broken spirit" that misreads or misunderstands - God's language of love, while you endure the "darkest" test and trials that are seemingly beyond your capacity, and communicates "the end of the road"...You think!
The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy. But, HE has come to give life, and THAT more abundantly! If we honestly believe in the Redemptive work of Christ, we can NOT own any "culture of death" that agrees with ANY lie or contrary circumstance, because GOD, is NOT - "a man"!
For almost three years, in no uncertain terms, I wanted to "die"! My Job-like battles, storms and loss came into my life "like a flood", but I could NOT imagine "God allowing" so much to come into "Little Walter's" life...
What I didn't know, and could not see, is - how ALL the various trials and trouble, had a direct correlation with the "keys" that I had been given, to bring "other people" into deliverance, healing and restoration; but, I had to go through it, myself!
Now, a "Refreshing Wind" is bringing a beautiful landscape of blossoming relationships and inexpressible joy that I really could NOT see in the shell-shocked existence I had for almost three years!
TODAY, I extend my voice through this blog to the thousands that will read it... "GOD, is NOT a man that HE should lie. Nor, the son of man that HE should 'repent'. What HE has said, HE will do. And, it will SURELY come to pass!"
