I am trying to find out more about Darfur. Strangely enough..ER has been really really rough for me to watch for the past 2 weeks. Yes, it's a TV show, but it's as if I can feel the demonic strongholds there seeping through the television. I can feel it. Something so dark. It has been keeping me up at night, and I spend my time thinking about my own freedom and my faith. How fortunate am I to live in a place that offers safety from rebels weilding guns and raping women with bayonettes? I have been asking myself if I were called on by God to go there, could I? Would I? Would I be able to have faith in my God in the midst of such...horror. What words can describe what is going on?
I have heard about areas in which tribal leaders have made blood covenants with satan. It effects the land as well as the people...I wonder if that has happened there. Shiver.
Even with the media displaying EVERY crime and atrocity on our TVs, how can one become desensitized to evil of this magnitude?
I found this story that attempts to explain what exactly has happened, but it's still a little bit confusing to me...
