How much Deception is in me.

I when to see the movie "90 minutes in Heaven, I wept through most of it to the amazement of my friends. I thought that my crying was because I related so much to the main role, invoking the memory of what I endured some 50 plus year from my Mother and all the pain and rejection of my life. I thought that my crying was lofty and spiritual.

I went to the PA (Physian's Assitant) that oversees my Psycho-Thropic medicine and she said the I might had not cried had I was taking my pills like I should. I didn't believe her at first, but as I began mulling over what she said, I began believing her which lead me to ponder how much deception do I have. I began thinking how much does Satan have of me (strongholds, deceptions, worldliness, and more is in me

And what is wrong with crying those tears during the movie? They probably stopped when the movie was over.

And they might not even need analyzing. Sometimes we just feel like crying and come from a place deep inside that needs to let those feelings out. God gave us tear ducts just for this purpose.

Thank you for your kindness, Joidevivre.

My emotions were sliced and died and I don't wish to experience that again, it took 2 - 3 days for my emotions to heal.

I am going to get back on my pills.

beta blocking pills?

Sadly, the movie is not at all true! I'm sorry you were feeling so blue, and the story is a riveting one. Just remember, it is fiction, or the work of someone who believed what he wrote, but it was still not true.

"Did Don Piper really go to Heaven? Theologian and author Dr. John MacArthur says, “Scripture definitively says that people do not go to heaven and come back: ‘Who has ascended to heaven and come down?’ (Proverbs 30:4). Answer: ‘No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man’ (John 3:13, emphasis added). All the accounts of heaven in Scripture are VISIONS, not journeys taken by dead people. And even visions of heaven are very, very rare in Scripture. You can count them all on one hand.”Four biblical authors had visions of heaven—not near-death experiences. Isaiah and Ezekiel (Old Testament prophets) and Paul and John (New Testament apostles) all had such visions. Two other biblical figures—Micaiah and Stephen—got glimpses of heaven, but what they saw is merely mentioned, not described (2 Chronicles 18:18; Acts 7:55).
Only three of these men later wrote about what they saw—and the details they gave were comparatively sparse (Isaiah 6:1–4; Ezekiel 1, 10; Revelation 4–6). All of them focused properly on God’s glory. They also mentioned their own fear and shame in the presence of such glory. They had nothing to say about the mundane features that are so prominent in modern tales about heaven (things like picnics, games, juvenile attractions, familiar faces, odd conversations, and so on). Paul gave no actual description of heaven but simply said what he saw would be unlawful to utter. In short, the biblical descriptions of heaven could hardly be any more different from today’s fanciful stories about heaven.
Lazarus of Bethany fell ill and died, and his body lay decaying in a tomb for four days until Jesus raised him (John 11:17). A whole chapter in John’s Gospel is devoted to the story of how Jesus brought him back from the dead. But there’s not a hint or a whisper anywhere in Scripture about what happened to Lazarus’s soul in that four-day interim. The same thing is true of every person in Scripture who was ever brought back from the dead, beginning with the widow’s son whom Elijah raised in 1 Kings 17:17–24 and culminating with Eutychus, who was healed by Paulin Acts 20:9–12. Not one biblical person ever gave any recorded account of his or her postmortem experience in the realm of departed souls.
The New Testament adds much to our understanding of heaven (and hell), but we are still not permitted to add our own subjective ideas and experience-based conclusions to what God has specifically revealed through His inerrant Word. Indeed, we are forbidden in all spiritual matters to go beyond what is written (1 Corinthians 4:6).
Those who demand to know more than Scripture tells us about heaven are sinning: “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever” (Deuteronomy 29:29). The limits of our curiosity are thus established by the boundary of biblical revelation. …What God has revealed in Scripture is the only legitimate place to get a clear understanding of the heavenly kingdom. God’s written Word does in fact give us a remarkably full and clear picture of heaven and the spiritual realm. But the Bible still leaves many questions unanswered.
We need to accept the boundaries God Himself has put on what He has revealed."

Thanks, but Lexapro and Wellbutrin works like a charm for me.

I believe he did. We can argue the point, but why did Jesus and Peter, pray for the dead then, like Dorcus, the lady who made Payer Shaws.

Excuse any error, I am running on 1 1/2 cup of coffee and I just got up.

Hi passing-through

There is nothing wrong at crying at a movie. I haven't seen the one you mention
but films, books etc can touch something within us at times.

God created our emotions, sometimes we don't know why we are crying we just
find ourselves doing it. It might be memories which resurface, it might be a hurt which
needs dealing with, it might be due to gratitude or happiness etc.

Pray about it and ask God to show you the reason when the time is right, ask him
for help where there is a need for healing etc.

I'm no doctor or PA, but I know that things can take hold and root themselves in our
lives and need to be up rooted and dealt with. Sometimes emotions can be a sign
that something needs dealing with.

Again I am no expert and maybe it will need expert help, but remember to seek God's help also.
He is the expert over the experts.

By the way certain meds can dumb down emotions, certain ones can heighten them, that
doesn't necessarily mean the emotions didn't exist in the first place. It just means that we get better
at hiding them and closing off from them or that meds make people numb.

I can't begin to imagine what you may have gone though during your life, but I know from
my own experiences (I was brought up in foster care) that there was certain things I have had to
deal with in my life. God in his kindness led me to deal with them when I was ready to face them.


God bless

Thanks very much, Teacup, for that well thought out message to me. )

It was be good to talk with the Lord Jesus face to face and for him to tell me, Ronnie, these things you have (good stuff), BUT these things in you I hate.

Hi, I think if you were to talk with Jesus face to face he would tell you that you
are his precious precious child and to rest in him and to give it all to him.

God bless


Psalm 91:1-16 NKJV
[1] He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under
the shadow of the Almighty. [2] I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge
and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust." [3] Surely He shall deliver
you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence.

[4] He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall
take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. [5] You shall not
be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

[6] Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that
lays waste at noonday. [7] A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand
at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. [8] Only with your eyes shall
you look, And see the reward of the wicked. [9] Because you have made the
LORD, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place,

[10] No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; [11] For He
shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. [12] In their
hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. [13] You shall
tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample
underfoot. [14] "Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name. [15] He shall call upon Me,
and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.
[16] With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation."

From the colony I give you my heart-felt thanks, Miri. ☺️
