Q & A

Why might God not be removing thoughts about a specific man from your mind?

God may not be removing these thoughts because He might want you to be with this man one day, or because you're not letting go of this man even though it may not be God's will for you to be with him.

How does Scripture relate our thoughts and what we see with our eyes?

Scripture directly links our thoughts with what we see. For example, Jesus stated in Matthew 5:28-29 that looking at someone with lustful intent is akin to committing adultery in the heart. This implies that seeing this man in your life could be fueling the thoughts you have about him.

What does Matthew 6:22-23 say about the eye and its impact on the body?

Matthew 6:22-23 states that the eye is the lamp of the body. If the eye is healthy, the whole body is full of light, but if it is bad, the whole body is full of darkness. This suggests that what you focus on with your eyes can deeply affect your inner thoughts and state of being.

Why might the anticipation of a relationship with this man be keeping him in your thoughts?

The anticipation of the possibility of a relationship with this man can be powerful and addictive, much like the excitement of gambling. The unexpected joys and hopes of interaction with this man can create a strong mental attachment.

What did Jesus mean by 'where your treasure is, there your heart will be also' in Matthew 6:21?

This verse means that what you value and focus on is where your heart and attention will be. If you're thinking a lot about this man, it may be because you're finding joy in the idea of him rather than in God, leading to an imbalance in your life.

How can hidden bonds with this man be affecting your thoughts?

You may still be thinking about this man because of a hidden bond, such as a trauma bond, chemical bond, or emotional soul tie, that you created through shared experiences, emotional rush, or past relationships with him.

What are some possible ways to break hidden bonds with this man?

Praying for God’s help to reveal and break any hidden bonds, such as trauma bonds or emotional ties, can be a step towards freeing yourself from these persistent thoughts.

Why might God allow you to continue thinking about this man due to unfinished business?

God may be allowing these thoughts because there is unfinished business between you and this man that needs to be resolved, such as unresolved conflict or the need for mutual apologies and closure.

What does the script suggest you do if you feel unresolved conflict with this man?

The script suggests that you may need to address any unresolved conflict with this man, possibly by apologizing or working through the issues, to achieve closure and move on in a healthier way.

How can you discern whether God is telling you to wait or move on from this man?

Discerning whether God wants you to wait or move on involves prayer, reflection, and possibly seeking counsel through spiritual guidance, as this is a complex question that requires understanding God’s will for your life.
