Wickedness disguised as Mental Illness

Isaiah 5:20 (NLT)

"What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter."

We have become so accustomed to explaining away evil that we have started calling wickedness by softer names. Mental illness is real  it deserves compassion, treatment, and truth, not stigma. But not everything dark that happens in a human heart is a diagnosis. Some of it is simply wickedness, and wickedness does not arrive overnight.

Nobody wakes up in the morning and decides, in an instant, to take the lives of their  three innocent children without a demonic influence present. A murder of this kind; one that is planned, carried out, and covered up — requires something that was already there, cultivated in secret, hidden for a season before it ever showed its face.

1 Kings 3:16-28

Two women came before Solomon, both claiming the same living child as their own. One was telling the truth. One was not. Solomon did not resolve it by assuming both women were honest, and he did not resolve it by assuming both were lying. He asked God for wisdom to see what was real and what was counterfeit — because a real mother's love and a false claim can stand in the same room, sound almost the same, and only wisdom can tell them apart.

That is exactly the tension we are living in now.

Ephesians 6:12 (KJV)

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

What happened to  three children — the case, the trial, everything surrounding it — carries the fingerprints of demonic influence. This has the weight of an assignment from the enemy written all over it.

We need wisdom and understanding now more than ever. We need eyes that truly see and ears that truly hear — not just the surface of what is being reported, but what is actually moving behind it.

This is not only a courtroom matter. This is spiritual wickedness in high places.

Lord, my prayer is for the supporters of this woman — the ones who have rallied around her while showing no apparent regard for the lives of the three children who were lost. I pray their eyes be opened to see the truth, and to see it in righteousness.

In Honor of Cora, Dawson, and Callan Clancy ; you are now in a safe and loving home, surrounded by never-ending love, surrounded by angels and elders. And held by an Everlasting Father.
