PTSD Posing as Truth, Satan's Disguise
Posing as Truth, Satan's Disguise; that's what PTSD is. One man can see the same exact things in the same foxhole, and yet he does not suffer from PTSD, while the other, right next to him, seeing the same things, kills himself because of PTSD. Unbroken the book, not the movie that falls short of the truth, tells the story of Louis, "Louie" Zamperini, a man who was tortured, and for many years suffered from PTSD. Louie turns to alcohol to try and numb the pain, but nothing can take away the horrors of what he saw, what people did to him. Until Jesus came in and set him free. The day Louie gave into Christ, Jesus set him free. Free from unforgiveness, pain, memories, and instantly from all effects of PTSD. No more nightmares, no more PTSD, overnight. Jesus set him free. No more of satan's lies, Jesus set Louie free, and Jesus can set you free.
Satan is the father of lies, but Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Two men each build a house, one on sand, the other on the Rock. When the storms came, the memories, the attacks, the rains descended, the floods arose of terror, the man who did not listen the Jesus, his house fell, and great was it's fall. The other man did listen and obey what Jesus said, he built his life on the Rock, on Christ. The same rains came, the same storms of life, but his house stood, because he stood on Christ Jesus, the Rock. You too can stand on Christ, and believe what He says is true. Or you can believe the sands of time can heal you, but they never will, only Christ. He alone is truth, and He alone can set you free.
Love covers the multitude of sins that people will, and have, put on you. Love forgives, and yes, forgets, even as Jesus will remember your sins no more. Love takes into account no wrong. (1 Corinthians 13) Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you. (Matthew 7) Forgive, love, know Jesus has all of this, Jesus died for all our sins, so don't let them effect you any more. They are all lies, satan's lies to keep you in his evil grasp, of pain, torture, nightmares and misery. Jesus takes all that away. It's what He died for, our sins. Unforgiveness is a sin. The evil you saw, the evil they did to you, was their sin. Unforgiveness is your sin. They can, and need to be forgiven, but so do you. Their sin opened the door for you to sin, for you to let the devil in, and through that process, you have opened the door to your enemy, who only comes to kill, steal and destroy, he is the father of lies, and the truth is, Jesus set you free.
Only listening to Jesus, only building your life in Him can set you free. He is the only way. Pray, "Lord forgive me, I have sinned and fallen short of Your glory. Please forgive me of all my sins. I believe You died and rose again. By faith, through grace, I receive You now. Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus name, Amen."
Let His Word renew your mind, through the washing of the water of His Word. In Jesus name, Amen.

Love, that's it.
There was one original don't. "Adam, Eve, don't eat this fruit, or you will die." Seriously, you will die. Then, because they didn't do the 1 don't, God added 10 more don'ts, Thou shall not's they were called, "No killing, stealing, coveting..." Then Jesus came and filled all the don'ts and added two do's: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself.
To do or not to do, that is the question. But we can do this because He also gave us of His Spirit, to teach us in all things and bring back to remembrance all that He said. We're covered, we're ready, and through Christ who strengthens us, we are able . So, let's do.
