Inviting Jesus into our Horror

The Horror of Abuse

I recently discovered an extremely healing prayer method, touching areas I didn’t know existed and areas I thought could not be made well. It is enormously simple, consisting of just one question. I only have to ask, “Jesus, what door of my heart are you knocking on?” And, of course, he is knocking at the door of my heart. Revelation 3:20 says:

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with me. WEB

Now that I know to ask that question, I ask it frequently. And Jesus answers, opening doors to past traumas, grudges, insecurities, and difficult memories. And I always let him in. Each time, I discover he is a God of order and healing. He rearranges these rooms, tossing out what doesn’t belong and bringing in new things. My heart is becoming a much more comfortable place to live as he renews it and makes it clean.

The Horror Room

But I want to share one particular room. I can’t be too specific, but I can say that this is for all those who have suffered a grievous wrong at the hands of another. One day in prayer, I invited him to knock on any door that might be closed to him within my heart. I can still see the door in my mind. It was broken down with rusted hinges and a doorknob made of iron. Jesus stood at this door, and I permitted him to open it. He did more than that. He took the door off and cast it away.

The inside looked like a scene from a horror movie. The walls were barren, the floor was dirty, and the windows were cracked and streaked with mud. In the room, with his back to me, sat the person who caused untold harm to my daughters and myself. He sat in a wheelchair, obviously decrepit, with blankets wrapped around him. The overwhelming emotion I felt was horror. This was a horror chamber in my heart.

I recognized the feeling as different from anger. Forgiveness is a journey, and I had already surrendered my wrath. Forgiveness of extreme wickedness is complicated, but this wasn’t about forgiveness. I was surprised by that. I think most Christians know that forgiveness is a part of the Calvary Road. This room wasn’t about needing to forgive. It was about the horror of the deeds done in the past.

The Oxford Dictionary defines horror as an intense feeling of fear, shock, or disgust. I felt all three, looking at that person who had rented a room in my heart. Some things should never happen to anyone; they leave such pain behind when they do. So much of that pain-filled that little ragged room.

But Jesus. I permitted him to do whatever he wanted to with that room. Suddenly I see him outside of the room, outside of my heart. He is pulling out the entire structure of horror like a black thorn out of me. I felt a release and such a relief. But what I knew in my spirit in that moment surprised me.

No More Hell

When someone sins against us, we can get infected, for lack of a better word, by their own personal hells. But Jesus conquered hell and death on the cross. He can deliver us from those deposits of trauma others sometimes cause in our lives. We don’t have to carry those burdens anymore.

I know from experience that I am not alone in struggling with horror. Those who have been in war, victims of terrible crimes, and those like myself who have suffered abuse carry those thorns buried deep in their hearts and minds. Jesus himself came face to face with the horror of hell and emerged victorious so that we, too, can face our hellish encounters. Jesus isn’t afraid of any hell. Nor is he shocked or disgusted by any room in our hearts. The power of his love can renew even the most sorrowful, angry, or horrified heart.

    This prayer method beautifully demonstrates how trauma healing works – opening closed doors to our hearts. I’ve seen similar breakthrough approaches in behavioral psychology. Just as SuperPH creates safe spaces for entertainment, spiritual healing requires creating safe internal spaces. The “horror room” metaphor perfectly illustrates how confronting our deepest wounds with compassion leads to genuine restoration.

    How my best friend lied against me because she wants my husband to herself.

    Please be careful about some persons you call your friend.

    I got married to my sweet high school boyfriend. We were living in peace and enjoying our life. We have two kids together. Everything was going well for us. My husband is not always around because he works in another city.

    My husband came back home and started acting funny. His behavior changed toward me and the kids. I was trying to know what’s happening. He never gave me attention. Some days later my husband asked me to take myself out of the house saying he is not interested in our marriage anymore. I tried to talk to him so he could tell me where I went wrong but all was in vain. his behavior and character toward us went out of control.

    I had no other choice than to leave the house with the kids. This made my heart bleed anytime I think about it because this is a man I loved with all my heart. I cried and my mind got worried for a good five months. My cousin who had a similar issue like mine told me to contact DR DAWN, telling me that DR DAWN will save my marriage.

    When I contacted him, I told him how everything happened. DR DAWN found out that my best friend that was behind everything that is going on in my marriage. He said, my friend did an evil spell so my husband will turn his back on me and the kids, and also told him negative things, and they were having affair together.

    So DR DAWN did what he knows how to do best and said that my husband will come begging. But all thanks to DR DAWN my husband came begging me for forgiveness saying he doesn’t know what came over him. because DR DAWN has told me everything that happened it was easy to forgive him. We’re living together as one big family now.

    If you want back your Ex-partner DR DAWN is the right man to contact. His WhatsApp:: +2349046229159

  18. Finding out about infidelity is a terrible discovery that can destroy a relationship’s foundation of trust. People frequently use social media platforms to engage in covert behavior in a world where technology is a part of our lives on a daily basis. Have you ever had that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach, suspecting that something wasn’t quite right in your relationship? Well, that’s exactly how I felt when I started to notice subtle changes in my wife’s behavior. Little did I know that these signs would lead me on a journey of discovery through the depths of social media platforms. Thankfully, with the help of the latest tech tools like SEFTYHUB I was able to uncover a shocking truth that had been hidden from me for far too long. Trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship, and when that trust begins to erode, it can be a painful experience. I couldn’t help but feel a nagging doubt in the back of my mind, a gut feeling that something wasn’t right. While I desperately wanted to dismiss these thoughts and trust my partner, I couldn’t shake the growing suspicion. One of the first signs that something was amiss was the change in my wife’s behavior. She became more secretive with her phone, guarding it as if it held the secrets to the universe. Our once open and honest communication became strained, and she seemed to distance herself emotionally. These changes left me wondering what was really going on behind the scenes.
