You have no idea the relief Ive felt after reading your post. For 2 days I couldnt sleep. I felt so much confusion! I asked Jesus to please help me be free.

What confused me was that I myself suffered from OCD and had antipsychotics prescribed. In a Dr. Leafs video she says thats not a disease and that medicines dont help. Now dont get me wrong, only Jesus can heal us from all demonic opression, but for me, I REALLY needed them. Its not the same to have bad thoughts that to have a mother who did witchcraft and gave a legal right for the enemy to attack me the way he did!

Now. My other point. If non christians read any of her books… why would you look up for Jesus? And whats the point of knowing so much scripture (Ok, I agree it increases our faith) if we dont ask for forgiveness of our sins?!?!!?!?!?!?!!? Jesus healed me completely in a matter of hours. I dont need 63 days to free myself of a “toxic” thought. What I NEEDED was JESUS AND TO ASK FOR FORGIVENESS OF MY SINS and to live holy. What about not fornicating? Why dont they speak about this topic in most churches anymore?????

I am not so sure you and Caroline Leaf know the Gospel of salvation. I am not even sure whether you know the real Jesus Christ of the Bible. There are many, as you should know, false Christs (2 Corinthians 11:4). Your and Caroline Leaf’s Jesus says:

“Howbeit when it, the Science of knowledge is come, it (science) will guide you into all truth: for it (science) shall not speak of itself; but whatsoever it (science) shall reveal, that shall it (science) speak: and it (science) will shew you things to come.” (John 16:13).

Science cannot possibly reveal or explain spiritual truths, and as you may know, the Bible is not a scientific book. It was written to reveal to mankind spiritual truths. The Holy Spirit alone, whom Jesus sent, can reveal spiritual truths and things to come.

To say that God is sharing things (spiritual truths) with her through science is an infamous lie. How do I know? Well, read this.

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by (through) the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by (through) his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;” (Hebrew 1:1-2)

NO! saith Steve Peasey, God is still speaking through a woman and her scientific breakthroughs and she loves Him dearly. If she loves Him so much, she would never have claimed that science has superseded Christ’s supremacy. In the KJV Bible, the heading to the book of Hebrews is “The Supremacy of God’s Son.”

Dear Pienaar

Tell me something,

Q1. Why are you reading this book about reprogramming your brain?
Q2. If you are looking for healing why are you not reading the bible instead that gives you EXACT instructions?
Q3. How did you land up on this website reading our article on Neuroplasticity?

You said “now deal with the effect of sin through the Holy Spirit so you can be healed.”

I am confused as to what she/you are saying here, are you saying it’s the Holy Spirit that heals you from sin? Was it Jesus Christ who was crucified, died, buried and resurrected so that all who come to him may be saved/healed or was it the Holy Spirit who hung on the cross for you sins?
When you sin, you ASK Jesus Christ for forgiveness, you don’t go to the Holy Spirit and tell Him you are sorry. You go to Jesus Christ.
Show me one verse in the bible please where the Holy Spirit is the one who heals us?

Well as we clearly all know (or should) God Jesus and the Holy Spirit make up the Trinity. They are all ONE. So to infer that the Holy Spirit or God Himself didn’t hang on that cross is to infer that God lied in His Words. Now whose walking dangerous ground ? “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God and that Word became flesh and blood and dwelt among us” God isn’t confined to your perception of time or space. “Before Abraham was,,, I AM !” Yes you have a clever little blog here denouncing years and years and years of scientific research on the brain and the mind. You clearly have masters degrees in such fields to even be opening your mouth against such things. Reminds me of atheists that attack the bible when they’ve never even lifted a finger to examine it for themselves. There is something wrong with someone that wants to attack someone that is trying to help christians learn more about themselves and find ways to connect better with God. I’ve never once heard Caroline Leaf water down the concept of sin or Christs forgiveness or His work on the cross or His purposes period. She’s loved God all her life and God is sharing things with her thru science. Clearly you feel God is incapable of doing so therefore your the one that is minimalizing Him. You have an awful lot of judgement towards such people that much is clear. Perhaps that is an area of your own life you should consider looking into. You know… why do you go on about the speck in your brothers eye, get the plank out of your own ?? Ya….

Truth.

Please see my comment I wrote in response to Watchmen.

Watchmen

In the 4th addition of her book “Healing Begins with the Sanctification of the Heart” MK Strydom uses the words “repent” and “repentance” 387 times. However, she has an unbiblical view of repentance. On page 38 she says, “Repentance is the condition for healing. The original Greek word for repentance means changing your thinking.” When Paul wrote to Timothy who suffered from some kind of chronic stomach disease, he did not say, “Repent because the healing of your stomach begins with the sanctification of your heart.” He said, “Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.” (1 Timothy 5:23). Timothy already had a sanctified heart (life), thoroughly covered by the blood of Jesus and yet he suffered from several infirmities. This alone debunks MK Strydom’s book hands down.

When Jesus and his disciples came upon a blind man, they asked him, “Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?” His answer was concise and to the point, “Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.” (John 9:1-3). Why did they ask Him such a silly question? Well, at that stage they were still influenced by Jewish Pharisaic thinking that sickness was caused by sin. Isn’t that what MK Strydom teaches? The only difference is that she calls it toxic thinking which needs to be changed positively so that your heart may be sanctified for your healing. Jesus did not mean that the blind man and his parents never sinned. He simply meant that sin did not cause his infirmity of blindness. The word “divine” means “godly” and to live godly does not necessarily mean that your health should be divine (constantly free of maladies). I have already proved it in the example I mentioned above in the life of Timothy. Divine health (to be constantly free from infirmities) suggests that your mind should be constantly free from toxic (bad or sinful) thoughts. Is that possible? Well, if it was, it would mean that the person who lives in divine health must be sinless because a single toxic thought may hamper your divine health. That is why MK Strydom had to write this disclaimer. She knows it is impossible to live in divine health.

I am not responsible for your disease, and neither am I responsible for your healing. All that I can do is to serve you by sowing seeds of knowledge in your heart; it is God Who gives the healing. The fruit of this teaching will come forth out of an intimate love relationship with God the Father, based on the application of these insights.

[Thomas says: If you listen carefully, you will hear God saying to you: “I will only heal you and grant you divine health if and when you allow the seeds of knowledge Dr MK Strydom sows in her book to enter your heart. That’s the bottom-line. Anything less than this won’t move my hand to heal you. I do not honour partial obedience, only 100% obedience will move my hand.”]

She continues to write:

Accordingly, there is no guarantee that any person will be healed, or that any disease will be prevented, by my teachings. I cannot heal a fly with a headache by myself.

[Thomas says: Of course she cannot heal a fly of its headache, and neither does she need to because flies don’t get sick. Why? Well because they cannot sin and, therefore, cannot produced toxic thoughts.]

She continues:

Accordingly, there is no guarantee that any person will be healed, or that any disease will be prevented, by my teachings. I cannot heal a fly with a headache by myself.And it really doesn’t depend on me or God; it depends on you. Not everyone who starts applying the principles in this book will necessarily get well, usually because they do not fully apply them to their lives. God does not honour partial obedience.

It reminds one of what Jesus said about the Pharisees:

Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. (Matthew 23:1-4)

On page 121 she writes:

“Keeping our thoughts in line with God’s Word and bringing every thought captive is a lifetime battle. As Joyce Meyer says, the mind is the battlefield on which we fight. Satan wages war in the realm of our thoughts because he knows that if he controls our thoughts, he controls us, our health and our destinies. Therefore as we live our lives and pursue our destinies, there will be times of fighting the good fight of faith, as we struggle against negative and toxic thoughts in our minds and hearts. If we win enough battles, we will win the war. Part of fighting the good fight of faith is recognizing the strategies of the devil and how he tries to build negative strongholds in our minds.”

Indeed, our minds are a battlefield, but I cannot understand why she dares to use a heretic like Joyce Meyer who believes that Jesus paid for our sins in hell and not on the cross and that she is not a sinner any longer. I’ll tell you why; Because they have the same unbiblical mindset which is wholly contrary to what the Bible teaches. Strydom refers to divine health 49 times in her book.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. (1 Jn 1:8-10).

And then John continues:

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (1 Jn 2:1-2).

What Joyce Meyer really says, is that she no longer needs the blood of Jesus and no longer needs to enter the holy of holies in heaven where our High Priest and Advocate sits to represent us to his Father (Hebrews 10:19-22). Why? Well, because she’s no longer a sinner. Joyce Meyer’s claim that she stopped sinning when she realized that she no longer was a sinner, is a slap in the face of the Holy Spirit who Jesus sent to convict us of sin whenever we do sin. MK Strydom is definitely NOT keeping her thoughts in line with the Word of God and neither are you. She would never have mentioned Joyce Meyer in her book as a prime example of a sanctified heart and divine healing if she knew what heresies Meyer teaches. I suspect she knows but in disobedience to God’s Word praises Meyer as a sanctified Christian.

I suggest that you learn what it means to be a Berean because if you had you would have known these things I quoted from Scripture. The choice is yours. Either you start obeying God and his word and stop listening to MK Strydom or stubbornly keep on reading her books and listening to her heresies. If the latter is your choice I must say to you, “Get thee behind me, Satan.”

By the way, if you’re wearing glasses you are definitely not living in divine health. So, get rid of that nasty little toxic thought in your mind so that you may live in divine health without those nasty little glasses.

Please you need to be very careful at what you are implying by your words: 1 Corinthians 2:13 We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words TAUGHT BY THE SPIRIT, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. 14The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.…
Yes, Jesus died for us on the cross but He, the Father and Holy Spirit is ONE!! The Holy spirit is the heart of God, the heart of Jesus!!! That is why all scriptures are given by The Holy Spirit Himself and why Jesus tells you let no man teach you for the Holy Spirit is the only teacher John 14:26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you. So when it comes to healing yes Jesus died on the cross for my sins, but the Holy Spirit is the one who reminds you what Jesus taught you. That is why Paul says the the Holy Spirit will teach you nothing if its not from Jesus Himself. The book of Dr MK Strydom specific and I am not speaking about quotes that you have taken from “If we have wired bad thoughts in, we can wire them out by Dr Caroline Leaf, Dr MK Strydom spesifically shows us how sin manifets in our bodies, its not changing our brains, its about changing our words and thoughts, what Jesus means when He says take every thought captive! To bind the strong man, who is the strong man, its the thought that I have come to believe who and what I am, that I am not loved by Jesus, that I am not worthy of His love and abundance in life, not in a prosperity way, in a choosing life through obedience. As Jesus says what do you choose, blessing or curse, Leviticus. Its about realizing that I am placing my thought of anger and bitterness as a much higher right in my life and justification as why I may feel this way and how it manifests in my body, why because its sin. But by understanding the anger, as Paul says how the law of sin and death uses God’s own law against us to sin and how my though of anger and bitterness originated, how it has no place in my life, how Jesus came to pay through His blood and the cross for it, I can repent and by the Word of God replace that thought and take it captive. In other words, I feel unworthy and have a low self esteem, now I repent for allowing that thought to ponder in my life, to manifest through depression or an addiction, and replace it with the Word of God that whenever that thought comes to mind I can say No, its a lie, because the word of Jesus says about me the following: But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. – 1 Peter 2:9 So I am not brain wiring myself, I am taking every thought captive by Him alone!! And through this comes the renewing of my mind and the breakthrough in my healing, why because I did what the Holy Spirit teaches me in His word, but now with her book I have an example of how to do it and that is all she is teaching. Please you need to be very careful of what you are saying without proper knowledge of what is being taught in the books. Our spirit, soul and body is all of importance to God, otherwise it our bodies was just something that meant nothing why did God Himself bury Moses body? Our souls needs to be cleansed as well as our spirits and the body manifest only what is going on in the soul, our wrong way of allowing thoughts to keep us in sin and not completing the work that Jesus already came to do by His cross alone. Deborah it is God’s will to heal you, read every scripture about an illness, and all was healed!!! There is not a person in the bible who came to ask God for healing who was not healed as even Paul himself tells us about his thorn in his flesh. Paul’s thorn in his flesh was not an illness And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure 2 Corinthians 12:7-9. Even the disciples asked Jesus why they could not do certain things and Jesus answered them, because of your unbelief so lets all gou back to Him first and ask for His mercy and increasing our beliefs and helping us in our ways of thinking and asking Him to show us the root of all of this and He will, why because He loves us, all of us.
