Ego, especially wounded ego, trusts in itself that it is righteous, while despising… glaring down its nose… at others. Ego, especially wounded ego, actually thinks that it impresses God, pleases God. Ego, especially wounded ego, actually thinks that it can impress God, please God. It is loveless… void of the revelation of Our Father’s True Image & Likeness, as He is only seen in, and by, and through, and because of The Lamb; and causes everyone possessed by it to perish, decay into a morbid, self-righteous, self-absorbed, self-worshiping, pretentious, condescending, arrogant narcissist.
Wounded ego is like a wounded animal… separated, defensive, protective, licking its own wounds, aggressive toward potential help… as a fearful, angry, isolated, dying island. No wonder The Book of His Appearing from Within Us signifies a Beast, “…rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.”
This is that self-righteous spirit of mind, or attitude of heart, being harbored by people, within themselves; and at its root, a completely corrupt, perverse image of Our Heavenly Father, projected into the heart by the dead letter of some “law of scripture”! Babylon, the harlot christian church, together with This Present Evil World live (*really… merely, meagerly exist) in bondage to the fear of their own misinterpretations of their so-called “holy books”.
This renders them blind, oblivious, completely ignorant of the reality that we are the pleasure of the Lord… the joy… that was, and is, set before Him always; and how it pleased the Lord to crush Him, to bring us forth from the outward man, by including us all within Himself (in His resurrection) as His own, firstborn sons unto Our Father. It pleases the Lord that, in Him, all fullness dwells within the One who inhabits and abides within us, forever; through agency of His own death and resurrection!…
