Strengthening the mind
Beliefs -
These pages on the mind would not have an end if we did not have the Holy Scripture. The Holy Scriptures provide an infinite depth of answers based upon your experiences and situation.
Unlike the flesh, that responds favourably, or badly, regardless of whether you are
a Christian, or not -
The mind has depths that most of the time we do not tap into.
The healing of the Christian mind may require some untangling of the beliefs, prejudices, fears and habits that we cling to.
As part of the cleansing process for me, I have to get rid of the dead weight that I have given other names to, in order to justify them in me.

My world is going to be a better place for me to live in. Suitable for the saint that I am.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves
of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that

faith. For the sake of the joy that lay before him he endured the cross, despising
its shame, and has taken his seat at the right of the throne of God. Consider how
he endured such opposition from sinners, in order that you may not grow weary and
lose heart. In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point
of shedding blood. Heb 12:1-
