Is it the thorn in my side?

[amigo de christo]

Yes, I think the Lord does take your struggles that way.


PS - You also should not feel bad if you have an analytic personality. I got one too. God gave you it for a reason!

You sure about all this .
HE whose mind is stayed upon the LORD has peace .
IN fact IT IS our anaylical always THINKING minds that will and do steal our peace .
FOR the love of GOD and all that is HOLY
we must now return to the simple reading of the bible f or ourselves .
OUR flesh is contrary , AND we darn sure do not want to worry and entertain it .
Time for child like faith IN JESUS . THUS IN HIS WORDS .
Too many have sat under wise and highly intellectual men and have much wisdom
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS , ITS THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD , NOT GOD .
This i do not say to condemn anyone . Rather to get us back into THE BIBLE
and let us learn THEM words REAL GOOD .

I have posted before on my brain wiring...struggling with ocd, anxiety, etc

Why not stand on God's promises of deliverance so the Holy Spirit can rewire your brain teaching you how to walk in the mind of Christ instead?

This sacralization of the imminent, directly confronts the culture of disposability and the commodification of image, suggesting that every act performed in the flesh, carries a weight of glory or a profanation of the sacred. For, you are no longer owner of yourself, but have been bought at a price, that transcends any metric of monetary value. The semantic weight of the expression, you were bought at a price, evokes the logic of emancipation in the ancient world, where an individual’s freedom was guaranteed by the transfer of ownership to a new authority. In Paul’s case, the transition from the domain of chaos, to the domain of Jesus Christ, this perception annihilates the modern notion of absolute autonomy, revealing that true freedom does not reside in the capacity to act according to one’s own desire, but in the deliberate submission to an order that restores the original dignity of being. The glorification of God in the body, is not an appeal to punitive aestheticism, but an invitation to harmony between the visible and the invisible, where physical functionality becomes a reflection of the cosmic order.

Charles Spurgeon, the Prince of Preachers

Sadly he taught tenets of calvinism so he was a heretic so of course he was unable to receive God's promises of deliverance and he lived in depression

I am curious if you think this is the thorn in the side that Paul talked about that will help make my testimony?

No, Paul learned how to receive deliverance from the Lord and got rid of the thorn which was a messenger sent by satan to attempt to stop Paul from being effective in ministry. God did not call Paul to go out and minister the Gospel and then turn around and sick the devil on Paul as carnal minded religious tradition has taught that they got from the devil.

Having an analytic personality does not cause one to be depressed, have ocd, anxiety, etc

Nothing like an AI word salad that would make Kamala Harris blush with envy wonder how put together so many meaningless words that say nothing
