I experienced a hostile takeover (of a hobby organization )that was insanely organized and extremely motivated.( not enough profit or social status to warrant the extreme lengths to control the organization) In the midst of that I encountered someone so malevolent that I recognized the concept of spiritual evil for the first time in my life. I gave my life to Christ when I realized there must be something that balanced what I had witnessed and encountered. I prayed the sinners prayer but on a deeper level I begged please be good please be real and He is both. His presence removed my terror and set my life on a path seeking peace and love and joy instead of what the world said was valuable. The love he showed me made very clear that his children are the greatest of all treasures. Love is a force greater than any evil.No matter how horrific the enemy God is more powerful and his intense Love insures he absolutely has and will step in and when he does Evil is ALWAYS defeated. That knowledge gave me the courage to compare behavior and seek answers to the puzzling often bizarre behaviors surrounding the individuals behind the takeover. I realized it was a pattern of behavior not just in the situation I experienced. That led me through many rabbit holes and eventually to the movement and then here. This little corner more than anywhere seems to be a place of hope and comfort where that which likes to hide in the dark can get drug out and examined. I believe with all I am that what we fight is a spiritual battle and the behavior is the symptom of the disease. The disease is corruption of what was created. Level after level macro to micro. Small organization to countries. The source is I believe the same although even those who serve it may believe differently. There is either love of the creator and or the creation( not all who fight for good believe in the creator)or a desire to twist it to another agenda. I have another fight every day but this place has given me tools for that fight. I do most of my fighting on my knees or in one on one conversations but I fight with a sincere heart and I am grateful to have found a place where I can learn and share ( we all need triage on a battlefield ) and hopefully be prepared to be a source for those in need and for those truly fighting the good
