Pensamiento apestoso: Pensamientos negativos

por Toni Weisz/Pensamiento apestoso

Escrituras: 2 Corintios 10:3-5 y filipenses 4:8-9

El pensamiento apestoso se refiere a los pensamientos negativos que nos atormentan especialmente cuando estamos DETENER (hinfeliz, Aenojado, lsolo o tenojado) this causes us to have a distorted view of God, self, pensamiento negativo, justificación, miedo, y ansiedad. Abordaremos cada uno de estos temas para que podamos discernir entre las mentiras que hemos creído a lo largo de los años y reemplazarlas con la verdad de Dios.. Nuestro objetivo es equiparte para que puedas tener la victoria en estas áreas..

2 Corintios 10:3-5 NKJV
“Porque aunque andemos en la carne, no hacemos la guerra según la carne. Porque las armas de nuestra guerra no son carnales sino poderosas en Dios para derribar fortalezas., derribando argumentos y toda altivez que se levanta sobre el conocimiento de Dios, llevando cautivo todo pensamiento a la obediencia a Cristo”.

filipenses 4:8-9 NKJV
"Finalmente, hermanos todo lo que es verdad, cualquier cosa que sea honesta, cualquier cosa que sea justa, cualquier cosa que sea pura, cualquier cosa que sea hermosa, cualquier cosa que sea de buen informe, si hay alguna virtud y si hay algo digno de alabanza, medita en estas cosas. Las cosas que aprendiste y recibiste., y oyó y vio en mí, estos lo hacen, y el Dios de paz estará con nosotros”.

Todos conocemos a una persona que puede aspirar todo el aire de una habitación porque cada palabra que sale de su boca es negativa.. ¿Alguna vez has experimentado eso antes?? It is emotionally draining to be in the company of a negative person for a long period of time before we too are dragged down into the pit with them. ¿Estás plagado de pensamientos negativos??

The enemy is continually trying to trip us up because his goal is to get us to focus on the negative things instead of all the things we should be thankful for. ¿Tienes una lista de agradecimiento?? Si no lo haces, te sugiero que hagas uno hoy, y escribe todas las cosas por las que estás agradecido. Cuando sientes que te viene un pensamiento negativo, simplemente saca tu lista y recuérdate eso Dios todavía está en el trono y tiene el control y está al tanto de todo lo que sucede en el mundo.. Él usa todo para Su propósito y planes en todas nuestras vidas.. We must remember God is good all the time and He is love; ese es su carácter. el nunca cambia. el es el mismo ayer, hoy, and forever.

El campo de batalla es realmente la mente.. that is where spiritual warfare starts, and that’s where we have a choice to take it on or not. Ahora mismo, there is hatred and ethnic cleansing in certain parts of the world, wars and devastation due to earthquakes, fires, mud slides. METROany are fearful, in despair, and feeling hopeless. But as believers, we need to be seeking the Lord even more now so we have His perspective on this. ¿En qué te estás concentrando ahora?? ¿Se siente en paz y esperanzado o deprimido y desesperado??

Tengo una lista de verdades bíblicas que leo todas las mañanas para recordarme que soy adoptado y amado por Dios.. Así me pongo mi armadura para protegerme de los dardos de fuego del enemigo.

quien soy en cristo, para combatir el rechazo

Soy digno.
soy amado.
Soy aceptado.
soy adoptado.
Tengo confianza y soy competente..
soy un niño de Dios.
Tengo el Espíritu Santo dentro de mí..
Soy victorioso en Cristo.
I am forgiven of all my sins and cleansed from all my unrighteousness.
tengo un hogar en el cielo.
Nothing can separate me from the love of God in Christ Jesus, my Lord.
soy valorado por dios.
Soy su precioso hijo.
no temeré ningún mal!

When I read this every morning, it protects my mind and my heart from the lies and negative thoughts that the enemy wants me to focus on. When I don’t read my list on a daily basis, Soy vulnerable a los dispositivos del enemigo.; Soy impaciente, cruel, self-righteous, judgmental, y fácilmente frustrado.

Caballero, You are showing me that today, in fact, Debo hacer tiempo contigo cada mañana; tu eres mi prioridad. Reading Your Word daily is food for my soul. Praying is a time for me to hear from You and to talk to You. Journaling is a time when I go even deeper with You, seeking Your wisdom and wanting so much to hear from You to lead and guide me in my life and in all I do because I want my life to be pleasing to You, and I want You to be glorified through it. Gracias, Caballero, por recordarme y convencerme de eso hoy.

padre en el cielo, I pray for each woman reading this blog. I pray they will seek You with their whole heart. Show them how much You love them in a very real and tangible way. Protect them from the lies and negative thoughts of the enemy, and help them to focus on the things that are true, honesto, justo, puro, hermoso, y de buen informe. Renueva sus mentes diariamente mientras leen Tu Palabra.. Sánalos y venda sus heridas como sólo Tú puedes, for You only are their Mighty Counselor and Great Physician. Encuéntralos donde están y guíalos con tu diestra justa.. Forgive all of their sins and heal them, Caballero. Gracias por tu amor, merced, gracia, y compasión sobre ellos. Oramos esto en el poderoso nombre de Jesús.. Amén.

Pensamiento apestoso: Mi visión distorsionada de Dios

Pensamiento apestoso: Mi visión distorsionada de Dios

Pensamiento apestoso: Mi visión distorsionada de Dios

por Toni Weisz/Pensamiento apestoso

Escrituras: Proverbios 23:7a, Romanos 2:4d, 1 Corintios 6:20, John 3:16, 8:44, 1 John 4:8, y Jeremías 29:11

Stinking Thinking se refiere a los pensamientos negativos que nos atormentan., especialmente cuando estamos DETENER (hinfeliz, Aenojado, lsolo o tenojado) o tener pensamientos como una visión distorsionada de Dios y de uno mismo, pensamiento negativo, justificación, miedo, y ansiedad. Abordaremos cada uno de estos temas para que podamos discernir entre las mentiras que hemos creído a lo largo de los años y reemplazarlas con la verdad de Dios.. Nuestro objetivo es equiparte para que puedas tener la victoria en estas áreas..

Primero, La Palabra de Dios dice en Proverbios 23:7a, "Porque como él piensa en su corazón, también él ". Lo que pensamos de nosotros mismos dicta cómo nos vemos a nosotros mismos, Dios, y otros, y cómo respondemos a las cosas. Si nos vemos como hijos de Dios, amado, apreciado y adoptado en la familia de Dios, veremos que somos realmente especiales, apartado por Dios para buenas obras. Tendremos una visión más positiva del mundo. Si sentimos que no somos dignos de ser amados debido a nuestros pecados pasados, y no una persona de valor, nos sentiremos deprimidos, solitario, y sin esperanza. ¿Puedes ver que lo que pensamos determina cómo nos sentimos??

Mi primera visión distorsionada de Dios comenzó cuando era un niño muy pequeño de alrededor de seis o siete años.. Vi a Dios como un Dios enojado que era inaccesible.. Me dijeron cuando era niño que si hacía algo mal, Dios me castigaría, Estaba constantemente esperando que el martillo cayera sobre mi cabeza cada vez que hacía algo mal.. La iglesia a la que asistí era vieja y tenía hermosas ventanas de vidrieras, pero por dentro estaba oscuro, frío, y la gente hablaba en latín. No vi el amor de Dios ahí. Todo lo que vi fueron reglas estrictas y castigos severos por desobedecer.. Vi a estudiantes golpearlos con reglas regularmente.. Esto me mantuvo escondido de nuevo, como lo hice en casa, cuando mi padre estaba teniendo uno de sus arrebatos de ira.

Es la bondad de Dios la que lleva al arrepentimiento (Árbitro. Romanos 2:4d). Un método para modificar la conducta es mediante el miedo al juicio.; el otro es a través del amor. Dios quiere que le obedezcamos por amor y no por miedo. Si amas a alguien y él te ama, quieres pasar tiempo con esta persona, pero cuando piensas que alguien es una persona dura, No es alguien con quien te sientas seguro y cómodo.. Ves la diferencia? Dios es amor, y su gracia es inmerecida. Por lo que Jesús hizo por nosotros en la cruz, lo menos que podemos hacer es servirle y obedecer su palabra. Nos compraron con un precio (Árbitro. 1 Corintios 6:20); La preciosa sangre de Jesús pagó la pena por nuestros pecados y los pecados del mundo entero.

No vi el amor de Dios evidente en mi antigua iglesia.. No fue hasta que fui 34, cuando asistí a una pequeña iglesia bautista en Nueva Jersey, que escuché el evangelio por primera vez. El edificio era muy sencillo., sin vidrieras. Había una cruz en el frente donde estaba el predicador y un piano.. Pero una cosa que sí vi mostrada fue el amor de Dios que estas personas tenían.. Eso es lo que me atrajo a Jesús. Fue la predicación de la Palabra de Dios a través de la Biblia y el amor de Dios en las palabras y acciones y en los rostros de las personas que asistieron a esa pequeña iglesia..

John 3:16 "Porque Dios amaba el mundo que le dio a su Hijo unigénito ..." Él nos amó tanto que dio a su Hijo para morir por ti y por mí.; esa es una imagen de amor sacrificado. Gracias, Jesús, por morir voluntariamente en la cruz por nosotros, Sé que es tu amor por el mundo lo que te mantuvo en esa cruz.

Creo que el enemigo está trabajando duro para distorsionar nuestra visión de Dios., para hacernos dudar de que Él realmente nos ama y se preocupa por nosotros. Mira a Eva en el jardín., la serpiente (Satán), el engañador y padre de la mentira, tratando de plantar semillas de duda en la mente de Eva sobre si se puede confiar en la Palabra de Dios. Me imagino que ella estaba pensando, “Dios me está ocultando algo bueno. Él realmente no me ama porque si lo hiciera, Me daría todo lo que quiero ". Adam y Eva no sabían qué era lo mejor para ellos, y es lo mismo con nosotros; Tampoco sabemos qué es lo mejor para nosotros.. Dios nos dijo que no tuviéramos relaciones sexuales antes del matrimonio.. ¿Estaba ocultándonos?? No, En realidad Él nos estaba protegiendo., especialmente aquellos de nosotros que abortaríamos a nuestros bebés. Estaba tratando de protegernos a nosotros y a nuestros bebés de la muerte física., y emocional, mental, y tormento espiritual y esclavitud al malvado.

Me di cuenta que era por amor que Dios no quería que tuviera relaciones sexuales fuera del matrimonio., porque quería protegerme. Si tan solo hubiera confiado en Dios y lo invitara a mi proceso de toma de decisiones y creyera que él me proporcionaría a mi bebé y a mí., Entonces tal vez hubiera tenido el coraje de elegir la vida para mi bebé.. En cambio, Mi visión distorsionada de Dios me hizo temer acercarme a él con mis necesidades, que era el plan del enemigo. Si el enemigo puede hacernos entrar en pánico y no buscar la sabiduría de Dios, disposición, y proteccion, entonces ha ganado la batalla.

Para ustedes preciosos que fueron abusados, abandonado, y rechazado por la familia, guardianes, y amigos, aquellos que se suponía que debían protegerte y proporcionarte,Dios vio y le rompió el corazón. Este temor profundo asociado con las figuras de autoridad nos hace dudar de que Dios es un buen Padre que nos ama. Asociamos las características de estos individuos a Dios.. Creemos que debe ser abusivo y nos rechazará y nos abandonará también. Esa es una mentira del malvado. Dios es amor. El amor es su personaje. Nunca experimentaremos el amor perfecto excepto a través de Jesús, Dios el Padre, y el Espíritu Santo. El malvado quería que creamos estas mentiras sobre Dios para poder destruir nuestras vidas. Y lo hizo, por muchos años, Pero entonces Dios!!! Dios tenía un plan diferente para nuestras vidas, Uno que es bueno darnos una esperanza y un futuro.

Preguntas para tomar en serio:

  1. ¿Cuáles fueron sus puntos de vista distorsionados de Dios cuando era niño?, adolescente, y adulto joven? ¿Cómo era él??
  2. ¿Cómo lo ves ahora??
  3. Cómo podemos orar por ti?

Rezo que este tema haya sido útil para que veas cómo el maligno a través de su engaño y mentiras no queríamos que conociéramos a Dios.. Pero Dios con su gran amor y misericordia hacia nosotros, perseguido y nos atrajo a sí mismo. Es un refugio para los oprimidos. Se une al corazón roto y cura todas nuestras heridas.

John 16:33, John 14:27, and 2nd Timothy 1:7

Cuando era una niña pequeña, I feared so much in my life, especially in my home where I should have felt safe. I can remember fear always being with me. At a very young age, while laying in my crib my older brother would come in and silently hover over my face, to frighten me. For years he tormented me in so many ways, including sexual molestation when I was an adolescent but no one came to my rescue. My parents were mostly present but unaware; they were not able to care for us individually since there were so many of us; I had 14 brothers & sisters. They were busy working, training us to do household chores, taking care of the home and keeping us afloat. My mom was not a communicator and didn’t engage in individual conversation with us. And my father was a very angry man who took his frustration out on us kids, so in fear I hid from him when he came home from work. But that was not always an option.

A lo largo de los años, I learned that if others saw my fear, they would take advantage of and sometimes prey on me. Eventually I learned to mask my fear with a false persona of self-confidence to prevent anyone from getting too close and hurting me emotionally. I worked really hard to provide for myself and created a perception that I could overcome any threat that came into my life; I was convinced, I could protect myself. This worked as long as I was able to control my environment. But that is not reality. We know there are many situations we can’t control, including our relationships with others!

Into my early teens my life spiraled out of control with promiscuity, broken relationships, drug and alcohol abuse until I came to the point that I lost what sliver of hope I had and felt an overwhelming sense of despair. Fear ruled my thoughts and no matter how hard I tried to bury it; it was always present in my heart. I continued on this destructive path, trying to bury the pain, until one day I found myself pregnant and this situation stopped me in my tracks! I feared that my lifestyle would be exposed, I was ashamed and feared what others would think of me. I was single, in my 20’s and didn’t really know the father, so I had an abortion. That is when I found myself unable to cope with my decisions, especially the one that took the life of my child. This choice brought me to a point of extreme crisis. I couldn’t move past this decision which was always in my thoughts and defined who I had become.

During the time span of my disfunction, from the age of 14, I can remember followers of Jesus telling me about Him, but I was afraid of getting involved in what I thought was the rigid religion I grew up in that had nothing to offer me except judgement. For 11 years Jesus sought me out and one day, ironically, 9 months after my abortion, He opened my eyes to see His truth and, on that day, I asked forgiveness for all my sins and invited Him to be my Lord and Savior. As I began to walk with Him and explore the bible, I read that He would care for me and that I could exchange my fear for faith in Him, and in His promises!

As a new Christian, just learning about the ways of God and who I was in Him, I continued to operate out of fear. But over time, I came to understand that fear and faith cannot co-exist. One will always negate the other. This was a life changing truth for me!

For the past two or so weeks we’ve been listening to the world and experts tell us to, “Be afraid, fear for our health, the health of our family members, the economy, losing our jobs, not having enough to sustain us, to avoid all social contact, that things are going to get much worse, that there is a silent killer among us!"

The government entities have closed down the parks, escuelas, restaurants, businesses and more. The stock market is plummeting and the world is reacting in panic, wondering what the future holds for them and their children. Many are selfishly hoarding goods in the event they have to be quarantined. There is uncertainty all around us. While I’m very aware of what’s happening and that we have good cause to experience this fear and concern, I want to share 2 perspectives that I hope will help us put things into perspective.

And I heard Satan Say, “I will cause anxiety, fear and panic. I will shut down business, escuelas, places of worship, and sports events. I will cause economic turmoil. I will isolate them so I can more easily attack and cause great fear, so they will lose all hope.”

Luego, Jesus said: “I will bring together neighbors, restore the family unit, I will bring dinner back to the kitchen table, I will help people slow down and appreciate what really matters. I will teach my children to rest and rely upon me and not the world, their money, or possessions. I will provide for all their needs.”

What are you fearful of?

How do you respond when you cannot control your environment?

The Lord has given us His Word to show us how we can be encouraged through difficult times and not to react in fear.

We read in John 16:33, “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you; not as the world gives do, I give to you. let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”

2 Tim 1:7, “For God gave us not a spirit of fear, but of power and love and self-control.”

MY Wall—My Prison (Part Two)

MY Wall—My Prison (Part Two)

Mi muro, mi prisión (Part Two)

When Is it Safe to Let the Wall Down?

In Part 1, Mi muro, mi prisión, we talked about the walls we built around ourselves as children to protect us from others and how these walls became our prisons. We found ourselves cut off from everyone, alone and tormented by the enemy. So how do we start taking the walls down and feeling safe to share what we have been hiding all these years?

Primero, a relationship with God is extremely important. To have this relationship, the Bible says we must be born again. We become born again or saved when we ask God to forgive our sins through confession (Romanos 10:9) and repentance, which means turning away from our sins and turning to God (Lucas 5:32). We must also believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God who died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day (1 Corintios 15:3–4, Romanos 10:13). We then receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, The Spirit of Truth. He gives us the power to understand Scripture (John 14:17), convicts us of sin (John 16:8), and is our comforter, constant companion, and friend (John 14:16). It is through the power of the Holy Spirit that God connects with us in a deep and intimate way, making us a family.

My life changed dramatically when I finally received the love of God in my heart. I knew Jesus loved me, but I didn’t feel loved. I still believed the lies that I was unworthy to be loved by God, or anyone else for that matter, because of all my sins, especially my abortion. When the truth finally penetrated my heart, I was forever changed. I realized I was a child of God who was adopted into His family. He would never leave me nor forsake me. I was His, and I was bought by His precious blood on the cross for my sins. I am loved by God just the way I am. I am so grateful for this truth.

Second, I believe being in a Christ-centered community is critical for our healing. In this community, the Word of God is used along with the power of the Holy Spirit. Prayer and recovery tools are also used in this loving environment, creating a safe place to share.

I believe abortion breaks the very soul of a women into a million pieces. Those pieces, created by the trauma of having an abortion, can only be picked up and put back together by Jesus. We were designed by God to love, protect, and nurture our children; we did the opposite. This group is a safe place to share our hearts and our hurts without judgment or condemnation.

Por último, it is okay to still be protected from people who are unsafe emotionally and/or physically. God does not want His daughters abused. As God heals you and you become more confident, He will lead you to start sharing with those with whom you feel safe. This group is a good place to start sharing within a safe and loving community to build your confidence.

Healthy boundaries are necessary to keep us safe so we can have more fulfilling and meaningful relationships with others. On the other hand, holding on to secrets is not a good way to have deep and meaningful relationships. When you feel safe to do so, share your secrets so you can be set free, giving the enemy nothing to hold against you.

Preguntas

  1. Are you ready to let your wall down to let God in so you can receive the love and the help you need?
  2. Who are you praying about sharing your past with? Do you have a healthy relationship with this person? It’s okay to keep yourself protected, but do not allow the enemy to isolate you or put you back into the prison.

Mi muro, mi prisión (Part One)

Génesis 1:27, Génesis 2:7, John 8:44, and Luke 15:10

When I look back on my past and try to put all the pieces together, I remember being a very young child, hiding from my father’s anger. He was unpredictable, and I was frightened by him. En el momento, my mother was also struggling. En 23 años, she had rheumatoid arthritis and a husband who was a rageaholic. She would become extremely frustrated and take it out on us kids. It was an extremely difficult time for our family. It was at this point that I began building a wall to protect myself from getting hurt by others. I became very quiet and isolated. It was a way for me to stay out of trouble and the only way I knew how to control my unpredictable environment. Little did I know, this wall would become impenetrable, and I would become a prisoner of it.

Alone and isolated: This was exactly where the enemy wanted me to be so he could torment me and hold me captive, destroying my life. The devil hates anything that God has created, especially humans. He hates humans because we are made in the image of God (Génesis 1:27) and have living souls that connect with God on a deep level (Génesis 2:7). The devil wants humans to bow down and worship him instead of God. How does he accomplish this? He does this by isolating us and lying to us, like he did with me. I built a huge wall around myself, a wall that I did not know would ultimately become my prison cell. He was a murderer from the beginning, as well as a deceiver, liar, and the father of lies (John 8:44). It’s no wonder that he was behind the first sin when Adam and Eve fell in the garden, and also the first murder between their children, Cain and Abel. He is alive and well today in the abortion industry, convincing women that abortion is their only choice.

When I lived behind my wall, I could not receive the love I desperately needed because I was cut off from the rest of the world. When we isolate ourselves, the enemy attacks us the most. We have no one to turn to for love, fellowship, or help. We are alone, tormented by our thoughts and the lies of the enemy. I have learned from experience that when I feel like isolating myself and putting my wall up, I need to do the opposite. So I reach out to someone and ask for help. That’s how I protect myself from the fiery darts of the enemy. I pray this was helpful for you.

All hope is not lost. God performed a miracle on my behalf, and He can on yours too. He pursued and wooed this broken, solitario, and tormented woman. He made me feel safe enough to slowly peek out of the window of my prison cell to hear about the beauty of the Lord and see Him working in my husband’s life. I so desperately wanted to feel loved and connected with another person in a deep and meaningful way. I have heard it said that God created us with a God-shaped hole in each of our hearts. We try to fill this hole with the things of this world, yet only He can fill it.

What I really needed was a Savior: someone who would love me, pursue me, sacrifice His life for me, and tell me I was worth the cost. I was waiting for my prince to come and rescue me, and He did. His name is Jesus, my Savior, my friend, and my Lord. He rescued me from the clutches of the enemy, and I am forever in His debt. I will serve Him all the days of my life, and I will be with Him forever in glory when I pass from this life to the next.

Preguntas

  1. Have you put up a wall to protect yourself?
  2. Are you still hiding behind that wall?
  3. Are you ready to give God a try and lower your wall, so that He can heal you and love you?
  4. Have you asked Jesus to forgive your sins?Do you believe that He is the sinless, Son of God who died on the cross for your sins, rose from the dead on the third day, and is now sitting at the right hand of the Father in Heaven? If you have not, then today is the day of salvation. The angels rejoice over one sinner that repents (Lucas 15:10).

Please let us know how we can help you on your healing journey.

Eres amado,
Toni
