(This is Day 5 in a write 31 days series. Click here for the title page )
Mary’s husband came home announcing that he got promotion at
work. This should make her happy and proud, but instead she only thinks of
herself and how it means more time alone with kids. Maybe she can enjoy some
perks like spending more on groceries…cause that’s so exciting… maybe she’ll
get her nails done someday when the children are civil enough to be home alone
together. Her sense of discontentedness grows, and she reminisces back to when
there were no children and her life in marketing was so fun and free…
Hmm, …something
new and freeing.
Dear Uncle Savant,
I had my work cut out for me with Mary today. She was awake early enough time to have a cup of coffee and read that blasted book of our
Enemy. I tried my best to draw her attention and distract her with the piled up
laundry, breakfast to make or even the noise of the garbage truck outside to no
avail.
She kept pushing off my attempts to frustrate or cause
dissatisfaction.
She just kept praying… and you know how hard it is to
influence an assignment who focus’ their brain on speaking with the Enemy.
I promise I will try harder to make sure that the Sword of
the Spirit stays sheathed.
Her husband had announced that he received a promotion and I
saw my golden opportunity to swing through with discouragement over his impending
absence and her inevitable time alone. I also added in some reminiscing of her
single life without kids and clouded her memory causing her to forget that she
was lonely and longed for a family. Instead I heightened everything she could
do without kids and elevated in her mind how important they were to her
happiness.
I must go, she’s sitting those insipid children down to read
“His” book again.

Dear Sepitus,
Words cannot express my anger over your stupid mistakes with
Mary.
You simply are not understanding how to twist and reform her mind.
It’s not through external experiences and influences only,
they are merely secondary to the innate values, thought processes and coping
skills. Her foundational beliefs for dealing with life have to be attacked and shaken.
It will cause her to be open to alternative thinking.
There are so many wonderfully twisted ideas and methods of
coping that we have made commonplace in this world. Do not be so shallow with
your attack on her. At some point, if it hasn’t already happened, she will pray
and seek help from our Enemy to get her through the external trials you keep
presenting her with.
Don’t you understand? They are smart enough to see that when
a series of bad things keep happening that it might be an attack from us. You have
to be more insidious than that, did you miss that day in training? She has to
believe that it’s from her own head, that she’s becoming smarter, enlightened,
tolerant of new things, better at understanding people and changing right
alongside everyone else, staying current.
This is not a simple assignment with a non-convert. These
three women actually know the Enemy, speak to Him and consider themselves “in
His family” as He likes to say. Our job is to kill their joy, steal
understanding of their identity, and destroy their ability to have a testimony.
Do better!
Uncle Savant
