Your mind is the battlefield, and if you don't fight the lies you came to believe about yourself in your suffering - if they reign unchallenged - God will let you keep them. Yes, He is that respectful of your free will. Your mind is the battlefield, and if you don't fight, the lies win. You will never have peace. Your body cannot heal in a mental soup of distorted thinking, in a disease-ridden cockroach nest of lies. If you think God has abandoned you, He is not Lord of your mind; the enemy is. The truth is: Jesus bore all your abandonment on the Cross and says, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Why are we so deaf to the truth of God's love for us? Because we do not know and believe (live from) God’s Word. In commenting on the deaf man's healing, the Church Fathers say that listening to and speaking evil makes one deaf and mute; a deaf person cannot hear the words of God nor open his mouth to speak them. But let us not assume “evil” is merely some form of malice or occult practice, although they’re certainly evil. Rather, Jesus told the Pharisees in John 8 that their root evil was lies, and that the “father of lies” had captured their minds. Throughout the Old and New Testaments we learn that “evil” is ultimately a “heart of unbelief.” As long as we cannot or will not, whether out of ignorance or laziness, hear or speak God’s word of truth into our lives and live from it in faith, we remain tyrannized by lies and a lack of belief in God’s love. The lies we come to believe about ourselves often take root early in our development. “The purification of our hearts has to do with paternal and maternal images,” (CCC 2779). It is these accusations that we probe with the Holy Spirit in the “mind” part of our pop quizzes: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind…” Satan is called the accuser of the brethren who accuses them day and night (Rev 12:10). Accusations and lies are the enemy’s primary tool against us. When we listen to his accusations and lies, we live in agreement with him. God forbid! Rewiring the brain out of distorted thought patterns (lies) takes time, but here's the most effective, scientifically proven cognitive technique for anxiety and fear, depression, insomnia, anorexia, PTSD, OCD, perfectionism - a whole nest of cockroaches that scavenges and breeds from lies in the mind. This is how to love the Lord your God with all your mind. Thank you with all my heart to my newest Friend of the Show, Marguerite E for loving and lifting me!
