Doorway to Darkness, Doorway to Light Ruth Ann McCormick

This is what we must grasp; if we are wounded and damaged by trauma in our soul- we will be continually harassed and hindered in the Spirit. Causing us to be unstable in our ways, and thus preventing His ways which are higher than ours to become a manifested reality in our own lives. We cannot be fruitful and productive or even reproductive, if we are living in a barren land. Where there is barrenness there is no fruitfulness or life- there is only death and signs of drought and lack. A barren land is a representation as well of someone that is in a place of poverty, or that has it within their own depths. 3 John 1:2 "Beloved, I pray that all may be in good health and prosper, just as your soul prospers." Post Trauma Spirit Soul Disorder is just that; it causes disorder in your soul, affects and possibly even will open you up for a wounded spirit. The trauma is strategic to your soul, wounding you in your depths- causing you to become lame and even cloaked with shame. If you are wounded in your soul, the soul will begin to speak louder to you at times than the voice of the Spirit. Imagine as well a House that is out of order, the plumbing don't work, electricity not flowing and supplying current throughout the house, so that everything operates properly; supplying the demand. Maybe the foundation is cracked, the structure leaning, holes in the floor and or walls. The House is virtually out of order, unlivable circumstances- and yet this is someone's home and they live there. Perhaps they have no other choice but to live in a house that should be condemned. Our beings are the Temple of the Holy Spirit as well as the embodiment of who we are and where we live. We too, often are living in houses that should be condemned. Not to mention the fact that we are asking the Holy Spirit to reside within our broken down house as well. When in actuality we are a House out of order because trauma has wounded our soul and overcome our Spirit. In this condition we tend to be led more by and operate more in the flesh- our soul, carnal nature, more than the Spirit. So truly we are in so many ways a House out of order.
