Jesus Heals Damaged People

Your thoughts change your brain. Are you psychologically damaged? Where can you find help? Jesus was and still is the healer, therapist and guide.

Our experiences shape our thoughts. Traumatised concentration camp survivors are permanently changed people. A wife and mother can never think like a virgin again. She can't.

Your experiences and thoughts also change the biology and architecture of your brain.
Scientists have dissected the brains of deceased people.

Bilingual people had more complex neuronal structures.

Learning changes the brain, either positively or negatively. That's why sexual abuse and pornography addiction are very dangerous.

Torture and brainwashing can permanently change the victim's way of thinking and also damage their brain.

Corrupting and cruel experiences can wreak havoc on your mind and brain, but there is an almighty good God who can restore your soul and brain.

Mary Magdalene was a holy woman. God chose her to be the first witness of the resurrected Jesus Christ.

We also read that she had a traumatic and perhaps shameful past.

When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons.
Mk 16:9 NIV

We don't know how Mary was demonised. Was she psychotic? Was she a witch? Was she a prostitute? Was she sexually abused? We do not know.

No matter how she was corrupted, her mind was mentally poisoned. Her brain was not functioning properly. She needed forgiveness and cleansing, but also healing.

Through God's word, we can learn to think very differently.

The Bible is pure and holy. God's word is the heavenly light. Light casts out darkness.

God's word is also a holy water bath that cleanses our defiled souls.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,
Eph 5:25–26 NIV

When God's Holy Spirit has cleansed your soul, God wants to help you to think in a completely new way, so that your world of thoughts becomes better every day.

The devil does not give up. He keeps trying to lead you astray with evil thoughts, but when you have given your life to Jesus, God wants to encourage you with good and beautiful thoughts.
