  12. This all sounds very final, very stuck

  15. John 8: 31-32 31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Free from what?

  16. The Black Hole Feeling Thought Action Consequence The enemy can enter at “Thought” or “Feeling”

  17. The Black Hole Feeling Thought The Holy Spirit alone can free us from this freefall Action Consequence

  18. How Do I Rewind? Feeling Thought The feeling is based on a thought. What is that thought? Is it true? What does this feeling say about reality? What is true?

  19. Isn’t this just psychology? Why is the Rewind specifically spiritual? The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:14

  20. The tools necessary to escape the Black Hole are: • Knowledge of truth …Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

  21. The tools necessary to escape the Black Hole are: • Knowledge of truth • Spiritual discernment • The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.

  22. Transformation is Spiritual Transformation like this, the ability to escape the Black Hole comes from a new life The verse that follows the Eph. 2:1-3 is this: But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. Ephesians 2:4-5
