The Connection Between Childhood Sexual Crimes and the Nature of Evil

This was an ask from a former guest and viewer. "Evil delights in sexual abuse because the return on investment is maximized. It takes but seconds to abuse, but the consequences can ruin the glory of a person for a lifetime."I discuss the battle for our heart's devotion between God and Satan. Most of us know there is something working against us -- we don't need to be convinced but what does it look like and how do I walk free."Evil hates what God reveals in and through the creation of humanity, especially with regard to gender and sexuality. Nothing brings evil greater delight or power than to foul our joy in being a man or a woman through sexual harm or gender confusion on the one hand or dogmatism on the other." Excerpts from Sexual Abuse and the Nature of Evil by Dan Allender author of The Wounded Heart.Our sexuality is so deeply intertwined with and expressive of our gender, our heart, our yearning for pleasure and for love—it is core to our being. When harm is done here, it is done in the depths of our existence, and our enemy seizes the opportunity to access dark strongholds within us.  @WildatHeartOfficial ​
