BLESSED BY COMPARTMENTALIZING YOUR THOUGHTS

My Dear Precious Child, Lately you have learned many things from your friend who had a stroke which produced dementia. After 73 years of marriage she has lying imaginations from the stroke that accuse her husband of what is considered marital sin; yet when you meet with her to pray and study My words, she only speaks for a few minutes about her husband's imaginary indiscretions, asking to pray about it. Remarkably, when the two of you pray intercessory prayers in the Holy Spirit and begin to concentrate on the wisdom of My words, her thoughts switch from the area of the brain that accuses her husband of indiscretions to the area of her brain that is hungry to hear My words and allow My Holy Spirit to enlarge her knowledge of My loving personality and kindness toward all people. (John 15:7-10) Her thoughts and her speech change completely from matters about her husband, which to her are emotionally painful and obsessive, to spiritual matters which are thrilling to her, even to the emotional place of blessing her with normal thoughts and attitudes as long as your mutual conversation is about Me and My magnificent love for her. Her thoughts, attitudes, speech and actions remain influenced by the area of her brain that appears normal as long as the lesson you are teaching to her glorifies Me and My Power. She becomes the same friend that she was before the stroke. You have been amazed that My Holy Spirit has given to her the instructions to forgive her husband because any vengeance on her part will affect her spiritual growth negatively. She has forgiven him from her heart, professing that it's a long process because recurring thoughts of his imagined affair invade her mind regularly. Rather then her retreating from her husband, like she did at first as a result of the accusing thoughts, she reaches out to him in love where previously she rejected him and sabotaged the unity that they have had for 73 years. (Romans 12:19-21) You have learned first hand that it is possible to switch from one compartment of your brain to another compartment which takes authority over the damaged part that is obsessing about something. Your friend told you that she has learned to cast down the imaginations that exalt themselves against the Love of God and the power of My Holy Spirit. When the accusations appear again in her thoughts, she casts them down again and switches to praying in the Holy Spirit and praising Me. (II Corinthians 10:5) Because the temptations of the devil were meant to entice her to stay in the part of her brain where lying imaginations are stored, she has cheated the devil by using My words and her praises to Me to chase the devil's thoughts away. She willingly switches to another compartment in her brain where forgiveness and love are resident when the two of you pray and keep My words at the forefront of her mind. Eventually the demon who is accusing her husband in her mind has to leave her because she recognizes by the gift of discerning of spirits that if she continues to resist the thoughts, then the demon gives up and leaves her. (James 4:7) That truth has caused her to continue to be a delightful friend with whom to share My words. You observe how My words take precedence over the accusatory words of the demons in her mind. Because of the power produced by her praying and keeping her thoughts compartmentalized in the part of her brain where My good thoughts prevail, your times together have allowed truths to be revealed and hidden mysteries to be uncovered for both of you and My Holy Spirit wins over evil. (I John 2:24) Your Father of Mighty Mysteries
