I forgave the perpetrators a long time ago. I am afraid this mind over matter idea causes great harm to people like me with cPTSD. The autonomic nervous system and vagus nerve need to be restored and that does not come with 'walking away'. It needs specific treatment that has nothing to do...

Sister, I am not suffering from aging - that problem I have found, is mainly due to the unhealthy western diet and the pills taken to alleviate the symptoms, as I have eaten an organic whole food diet for 42 years. No, my illness is due to childhood trauma, mercury poisoning and Lyme Disease...

But you say that the devil brings it up in the mind so a mind problem. My experience has been that the damage caused to me was buried deep despite baptism of the Spirit with the fruit. Not fruits. I was too young for fight or flight. I was in freeze. Anxiety can also be caused by problems...

Brother I was 10 months old when the abuse started in full swing, having been admitted to hospital after mercury poisoning from medications. I was sent back home to take on a scapegoating role in a narcissistic family, then on to two abusive marriages. You do not recognize abuse when it has...

@dev553344 You are missing an important condition, that is to say complex post traumatic stress 'disorder' (I prefer injury) which is very common and causes injury to the brain and nervous system which can be healed by various means and is talked about in Bessel Van Der Kolk's book The Body...

Sister, we are not far apart in our beliefs. However, the timing is an issue. If anyone had told me that I had received the Holy Spirit when I first believed, and was convinced reading scripture that I had indeed been saved, plus the church told me so, I would have argued to the death! What we...

@GTW27 As well as prayer, it might be of interest to know that a Christian has this site: https://www.chrisbeatcancer.com/ He is also on Facebook. Chris had stage 4 colon cancer and used the methods he explains especially diet to cure himself. I know he is probably older than you but I am...

Just to add that I am providing opposing views and do not endorse the ones I have provided. They are for information only as in the Walking With Giants site.. Those using the argument that the early church taught the unsaved version that was Paul an unbeliever, are taking things entirely out of...

@Lizbeth @marks @GodsGrace @MatthewG Romans 7. In returning to Romans 7, the correct interpretation of which is vital for one wishing to understand the doctrine this thread is about, and which is found in the early church writings as Theosis and much later in the west as entire...

It is what is left when the error is taken away and what is left does not contradict scripture (but not proof texting). It happens when you can discern the voice of God when you have reached that stage of spiritual growth of which I have spoken of on other threads.

I agree absolutely, that we must bring everything we hear from God directly, under the direction of scripture. It is always secondary for me to me to take early teachings into consideration. It becomes a problem though when people speak from their denominational understanding of texts...

I agree that there is a danger of eastern mysticism spilling over into Christian mysticism, which is nothing but being sensitive to hearing the voice of God, obeying what He says, and becoming more deeply intimate with Him. This is simplicity itself, much more than studying biblical doctrine...

To be set aside, is a part of it. but in the OT, items, a type and shadow of His people, were not only set aside, but cleansed.

I have had this happen often. Once I interpreted the obstacles as the devil wanting to stop me doing something which I thought was God's will, and it made me more determined, but I was fooled and saw it was in fact the enemy wanting me to be in a harmful situation. But we can be assured that...

Okay I will pray for you.

Yes of course not. See in the eyes of the spirit.

Why are you leaving @MatthewG ?

@MatthewG Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Matt 5:8 So if we are not operating from a pure heart, this scripture says, we will be blind in our sins. Here are some more verses: 2 Corinthians 7:1 ESV Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from...

Thank you MatthewG. I agree, we will never be perfect in the flesh, but we are commanded to be in the Spirit instead. What does a 'pure heart' mean to you? Please everyone keep on topic thanks. Johann has been removed for high-jacking the thread.
