Hello HistoryPrincess,

You are absolutely perfect! God has wired you according to His plan and purpose for you! You are loved and accepted in Him.

Your mind is high functioning and suppresses information from your heart. It’s okay but, it helps to understand why you process information the way you do. 😍

Our minds receive information from our physical 5 senses. If the information cannot be seen, smelt, tasted, heard or touched then our minds reject it and say it does not exist. Totally logical - nothing wrong with this. We need our minds to connect us with our physical surroundings.

However, our hearts have the ability to seek and find information from a different realm - the spiritual realm. We have 5 spiritual senses that are the same as the physical - smell, taste, touch, sight and hearing.

When you hear thoughts in your head you are using your spiritual ears. Remember Yeshua/Jesus would say, “he that has an ear, hear what the Spirit is saying.”

Dreams and visions are spiritual eyesight.

You have all 5 spiritual senses - everyone does. We oftentimes are just never taught about them yet, they exist.

After we are born again of God’s Holy Spirit and water, we can connect with God in the Heavenly Realm - this is the sweet fellowship place where we are seated with Christ in heavenly places.

No worries if you don’t understand- God will teach you! He loves you! .

You

This is just mysticism with Jesus tacked on. This is not biblical at all.

The scriptures make no distinction between the head and heart, often the two are used in parallel or interchangeably. Saying thoughts are spiritual and that we hear in our heads with spiritual ears is not in the Bible. This is modern eastern mysticism. It does not originate in the scriptures.

Anyone, even terrible people, can say God spoke to them. Once again, I can't prove any of this.

Correct! Our mind can NEVER prove anything spiritual because it relies ONLY on the physical 5 senses.

God's Holy Spirit speaks to our heart - the "spirit of man" is the "heart of man." The Bible tells us the Holy Spirit is The Spirit of Truth. Our minds receive what it thinks is true, our hearts receive what it knows is true.

Again, the mind relies fully on our physical 5 senses

Our heart relies on both physical 5 senses AND spiritual 5 senses. Our hearts can seek and find God and Truth.

Be encouraged and understand, you have a beautiful mind! Just start seeking God and Truth with ALL your heart......... You will find Him and understand incredible knowledge of God and His love for you!

Yeshua/Jesus is God, our Savior! There is no other. When you seek God, seek Yeshua/Jesus as your Lord, Savior, Redeemer, and soon coming King! :love:(y)

What about when Jesus says he came to give sight to those who cannot see and to make blind those who can?

Hello GHClarkII,

I understand how it can be mistakenly thought of as mysticism with Jesus tacked on but, it is not mysticism. I would never promote mysticism. I do promote loving God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) with all our heart, mind, body, soul and strength.

Mysticism can only take a person as high as the Spiritual Realm and NO FURTHER. There's a MUCH HIGHER REALM........The Heavenly Realm. :love:

People mistakenly lump the Spiritual and Heavenly realms together as one. But, they are not. Ephesians 6 mentions spiritual principalities in high places. These high places are places of authority in the Spiritual Realm.

Ephesians 6:11-13 King James Version (KJV)
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 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.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

As Christians, we're seated with Christ Jesus in heavenly places - these are places of authority in the Heavenly Realm.

Ephesians 1:3 King James Version (KJV)
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Ephesians 2:6 King James Version (KJV)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

Ephesians 3 King James Version (KJV)
3 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,

4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

A life and heart surrendered to Yeshua/Jesus as Lord, Savior, Redeemer, and King, born again with Spirit and Water, filled and indwelt with the Holy Spirit, enlightened with understanding of God's Word - the scriptures from the Holy Bible, on Fire with God's Love.......... seated with Christ Jesus in Heavenly Places. :love:(y)

Understanding the physical, spiritual and heavenly realms and how our heart and mind are to interact in a relationship with God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit).........

Hebrews 5:14 King James Version (KJV)
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

We function in the physical realm with our 5 physical senses. We need to learn how to function in the spiritual realm with our 5 spiritual senses, to do this we need God's Word (Yeshua/Jesus) and God's Holy Spirit leading, guiding, counseling and teaching us the whole way!

God is transforming us with His Word and Spirit! :love:(y)

Our spirit is born again;
our soul is restored; and
our body is redeemed.

Pursuing God with ALL our heart, mind, body, soul and strength! Yes, we still mess up sometimes but, eventually we're no longer crawling, we're barely walking, then walking, then walking faster, jogging, then running, lastly unstoppable, steadfastly consumed with God and abiding with Him! :love:(y)

Excellent, History Princess!

You're recognizing that Jesus was talking about their spiritual eyesight - ability to see, know and understand the things of God from the Heavenly Realm. :love:(y)

Yeshua/Jesus would often tell a parable and then say, "he that has an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying."

Mark 4:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 And he (Yeshua/Jesus) said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Revelation 2:7 King James Version (KJV)
7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;

Hello everyone. What I'm about to say may sound weird to some people, but I don't care.

I'm a Christian, but I live with a lot of fear. I sometimes feel as though I'm afraid of everything, and my faith isn't even a place I can go to for comfort.

I was raised in a loving Christian family and have been a Christian for 8 years, but I'm also on the spectrum and this greatly influences how I think. I think very black and white with very little room for gray, and I think it's because of that that I'm often fearful.
