This is Mary's state. She is demonized, tormented, and no one can help her. She is in total isolation because there is no one who will cling to her or hold on to her. She is a "tower"of her own making. .
When the Lord grabbed me, I had the world by the tail and was doing great. Inwardly, however, I was isolated, even though I was surrounded by lots of friends. I never felt or knew the love of God. That was I; that was Mary. .
Mary had an encounter in her heart when she met Jesus. Jesus delivered her from seven demons, and she was for the first time in her life free. Oh, how wonderful it is when we first experience that freedom when God releases us from our burdens and our yokes. There is nothing like it. There is nothing like it when you experience that unconditional love for the first time and knowing that He will never leave you or forsake you, more importantly, you did not have to prostitute yourself for it. Until this experience occurs, all that you will know is the isolation of your tower until Jesus unlocks the door and bids you to leave and come and follow Him. This is what Mary experienced. She was completely consumed with emptiness and in bondage until Jesus set her completely free. What did she do next? Hopefully, what we would feel compelled to do, she followed Him. When people get truly saved, they follow and become disciples. Mary walked away from her lifestyle, became a disciple of Christ Jesus and ministered to Him of her substance. In other words, she gives her Lord everything she has, not only her body and her heart; but all of her finances to support the Gospel. She did not care how it looked to be with a group of women (groupies) following a group of guys! They walked around from town to town and ministered to the needs of these fisherman type men. They preached the Gospel, the good news, the glad tidings or as defined: "the good glad merry news that makes men shout and leap for joy".
