Cutting (self mutilation)
by John Crable
This dilemma is a huge problem for today's teens! While visiting Yahoo's Answers pages I came across
thousands of posts on this one single problem! This problem is not new, it is ancient! While most would deem this psychotic in nature, it really stems from something much deeper! In a passage in the Book of Mark
and the fifth chapter we come to the man of the tombs. Jesus was going to free him from what we now understand as demonic oppression!
Let us take a brief look at his condition before Christ meets him!
And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. (Mark 5:5)(Notice: Of any number of ways the bible could have described this man, God chose to tell us this man cut himself with stones as it was a condition of his torment and affliction!)
And when Jesus showed up, the man met him:
And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, (Mark 5:2)
And Jesus said to him:
For he said unto him, Come out of the man, [thou] unclean spirit.
And he asked him, What [is] thy name? And he answered, saying, My name [is] Legion: for we are many. (Mark 5:8-9)
After Jesus cast out the demon the man was free and wanted to follow Christ:
Jesus said to him:
Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.
(Mark 5:19)
Now the reason for posting this is because I have referred a lot of individuals who need help to this website, if cutting is now or has ever been a problem for you I encourage you to look for the cause of it in a different area than you might have addressed in your past!
http://www.MinisteringDeliverance.com is a website that specifically deals with these issues and it has a Nationwide referral system for people who have this ongoing issue of` (cutting)! Deliverance Ministry is specifically designed to address the ongoing battle we face in this world with oppression from the spirits that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God! While this is certainly something that many people would be skeptical about trying! Nevertheless it yields results! While doctors and specialists will
sedate and counsel you, we believe they never really deal with the core issue. While doctors and counseling can be a good thing when intervention is needed they are still at a loss to define the root cause of this illness. We can label it anything we desire but it will not make it go away ,as is extremely evident with it permeating today's youth!
