I have finally finished my first assignment for the module Abnormal Behaviour. It was amazing at how the human mind works and also how terrible it could be when it is not functioning as it should be. This is what intrigue me in Psychology, the art and science of the human mind, thoughts and behaviour.
 “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” Rom 12:2 (NASB)
 “For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.” Rom 8:5 (NASB)
“We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God , and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.” 2 Cor 10:5 (NASB)
The human brain is the most complex organ in the whole human body. It is where our body functions, emotions and reactions to situation originates. It is where our “heart and mind” meet. Many of our attitudes towards lives and God begin here. Spiritual warfares begin first in the mind. This is the most battled area concerning a believer. Our actions are determined by our thoughts.
Have you wonder why the offensive equipment, the sword, in the whole Armour of God is the actually the Word of God? I believe that as spiritual warfare takes palce in our mind, the only thing that can helps us to dispel all the lies, deceptions, worldly views etc is the Word of God. As Jesus said “Sanctify them with Your truth, Your word is truth.”After years of corrupted thinkings and distorted believes, only the Word of God can once again set it back to its original intent and state as it spells out the original intent of human behaviour.
Now having the priviledge to work with adults with intellectual diabilities, it has opened my eyes to see how deceitful and how destructive our human mind can be. With the little dysfucntion they have in their brain, it caused them not to function effectively in their daily living and also not able to respond to truth easily (yes, i am not joking, they can be egocentric, manupilative and shrewd). For us, being considered as “normal” and having a “normal” brain functioning and development, have we diligently take every thought captives and sanctify it with the Word of God so that we can live out our purpose in this world?
