The 9:00 hour represents my ninth year of ministry at Cornerstone--the year that I am currently in. I will mark nine years on July 23. As a young boy I was molested which has contributed to many unhealthy choices throughout my life. These choices have in the past brought great shame to me. I have been reluctant to let others see into my heart. The fear is that if people really know me, then they will reject me. The man on the right--the father figure is the "fake" persona that I have created for myself--"Pastor Dave". The boy, who is rather shadowy and ghost-like is the boy that I am, that has never been allowed to really live. He is hidden, he is overlooked, and he is sacrificed. The demon(s) has been confronted for the past few years in a way never before attempted. Much healing has been coming into my life. I believe that I am approaching a time when once and for all this demon will be exercised from my house (my life). The firing of the gun simply represents the ineffective attempts by Pastor Dave to exorcise the demon. The exorcism will only be effective when the real me casts it out. John 3:16 is a scripture of promise. God will save me! My head hurt when I awoke and Tina reminded me that we wear the helmet of salvation. Waging war in the areas of deliverance and salvation will take place in the mind hence the need for a helmet. I have been saved...I am being saved...I will be saved!Dave Sampleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763885971864022696noreply@blogger.com
