“Trust in YHWH with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5–6

Let’s be honest, sometimes trust feels like walking into a battlefield blindfolded. It feels raw and dangerous, and everything in us is screaming don’t do it.

Some survivors put up walls so thick that they never reach a place where they allow themselves to trust anyone again and if they’re totally honest, that includes Yeshua. Others fall on the opposite end of the spectrum, trusting anyone who offers them attention, because the isolation and loneliness have become unbearable. The void feels so painful that we start to fill it with anything we can grasp even if we know it’s not good for us. I’ve done both at different times in my life.

The occult doesn’t really care which end of the spectrum we land on. They use both to their advantage to keep us trapped and controlled. If we trust no one, we remain isolated and disconnected from the healing Yahweh designed to come through relationship. If we trust everyone, we become vulnerable to the wrong people and end up back under occult control often without even realizing it has happened.

But Yeshua offers another way, a middle ground of discernment and wisdom. Survivors of SRA and mind control do not have the luxury of picking friends because they are fun to be around or have some favorite things in common. They can’t safely go to a doctor, therapist or church just because they come highly recommended. It is critical for survivors to ask Yeshua to give them discernment and to clearly show them who is safe and who is not.

SRA and mind control programming survivors must come to the realization that even if they don’t remember, they have been programmed to not trust anyone who offers them help. They need to pray and ask the true Yeshua to reveal this truth to them so that they can know that they know that they know they can’t trust themselves to be the judge of who is safe until they are much farther along in their healing. This is why it is so important to spend time every day working on building trust with the true Yeshua.

Learning to trust is learning to break programming. It can feel impossible because the fear that someone will get hurt or even die is very real. But when you make the choice to trust the true Yeshua then you start to see that He is much more powerful than the occult. That’s a key that the occult doesn’t want you to know.

Yeshua teaches us to live life based on the wisdom of His word. It’s a trust rooted in His character and guided by His Spirit. He invites us to measure every connection by the fruit of their life, and with prayer and discernment. The church teaches that we know if someone is good by their fruit. But for survivors, that is not enough. Many people in the occult have been trained for years and are experts at showing up to be whoever you need them to be. They can be kind, soft spoken, and so very helpful in your time of need, and still be sent by the occult to get you to go back. Always, always, always pray for wisdom and discernment.

You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? (Matthew 7:16).

Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him (James 1:5).

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2).

As you begin to partner with Him in your healing, He’ll teach you what His peace feels like. He won’t demand access or force you to do anything. He will speak the truth with love, but you get to make the choice to trust Him or not. As you create a habit of prayer, you will learn to recognize His voice. That’s what partnership with Yeshua feels like.

“Trust in YHWH with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.” — Proverbs 3:5

You don’t have to get it perfect. You just have to stay connected. Ask Him every day to reveal truth to you and to remove anyone that is not safe from your life. A word of caution: Only ask Him if you mean it because He will do it and it will not always feel good or look like what we want it to look like. He removed a therapist and a church from my life because I did not know they were cult loyal, and I was always praying, “not my will, but Yours be done”. I was devastated, but it was for my good. Count the cost and decide if you are willing to give up anything required to be free.

For many survivors, trust is one of the hardest things to rebuild. The word itself will stir fear, anger, or even grief. So, when Yeshua whispers, “Trust Me,” your heart might want to respond, “I’ve heard that before.”

That’s okay. He understands. Tell Him how you feel, how scary it is to trust again. Talk to Him about the anger that comes up and the alarm bells going off inside alerting you to Him being dangerous. Yeshua doesn’t demand instant trust; He invites you into relationship. He knows that trust must be earned, rebuilt, and proven over time. He knows that they program survivors to not trust Him or anyone connected to Him. He knows the scenarios they set up and the assignments parts inside have to keep you from ever praying, reading the Bible, or trusting Him.

He also knows when parts inside your system are being deceived and scared and may want to trust Him but are terrified of getting hurt. Teach them to give their fear to Yeshua and trust Him. Ask Him to help you trust who He has sent to help and to distrust those who will harm you or lead you astray. Ask Him to help your parts not be afraid so that they can trust Yeshua rather than trusting the cult and its fear-based punishment and control. Most parts trust the threats of the cult over Yeshua or those who want to help, and all the parts inside have their own opinions on who is safe. It’s too hard for a survivor to sort it out on their own, they need to hand that job over to Yeshua.

Many survivors met the fake Jesus as a very small child. A simplified example is when a child is drugged and abused then someone dressed up like Jesus comes in the room. The child is told to pray to Jesus to save them and when they do everything gets worse. Some of them are abused by the fake Jesus and others watch him be abused and rendered powerless. Then the child is told to call on a high-ranking demon to make the horrendous trauma stop. They are so desperate, they will do anything to make the pain stop so they invite the demonic in to help them. When they do that, the abuse stops in the moment confusing the child even more. The child will be so traumatized that the part of them that does everyday life won’t remember that ever happened. They won’t know that they have given demons access to torture and lie to them for years to come.

Later in life they will struggle with believing that Yahweh loves them or that they could ever be saved. Anger at God will often come up when they try to pray or they may feel triggered by reading the Bible. It’s very frustrating to the survivor trying to break all the programming that goes into making sure a survivor never trusts the true Yeshua. It takes time, consistency, and the courage to do it afraid.

When betrayal runs deep, we often live in survival mode constantly scanning for danger, analyzing motives, preparing for disappointment. But when you start walking with Yeshua, He can help you with the hypervigilance. Over time, your nervous system begins to recognize peace instead of danger when He draws near. You start to understand that His correction isn’t punishment like the cult does, it’s pruning to help you grow and heal (John 15:2).

Each small act of surrender, each time you choose to lean on His understanding instead of your own, it plants a seed of faith that will grow into confidence and deeper trust in Him. This is also how we start to learn how much He loves us and become able to receive His love.

One of the hardest parts of healing is letting Yahweh use other people in our journey. Survivors of SRA and mind control programming have learned to survive by staying hidden, independent, and in control. Opening up feels unsafe because people have so often proven untrustworthy.

Yahweh will send trustworthy people into our life if we ask Him. Not perfect people, but ones whose fruit reflects their relationship with Him. When He confirms to you that someone is safe and He wants you to work with them, write it down. Keep a record of why and how you know they are safe so that when something difficult arises in the relationship, you don’t have to let being triggered cause you to run in fear.

Those He sends to walk beside us will not pressure, control, or manipulate. They will honor our boundaries and point us back to Yeshua instead of themselves. But they won’t always tell us what we want to hear. Sometimes, being told no or that we are not ready yet is the safest thing for them to do. We have to learn to trust Yeshua so that we can take everything that comes up on this healing journey back to Him for confirmation. This is really important because it can help you identify if someone is a handler.

Learning to trust is also hard because you are breaking generational strongholds of fear and control.

The blessing in the battle isn’t that it’s easy. It’s that Yeshua fights with you. He knows when you want to give up, and He strengthens you instead. He knows the parts of you that are still scared, and He offers them comfort. You are not failing because trust feels hard. You are walking out what most people never have the courage to face.

Part of helping our parts get free is modeling trust for them. They are watching to see if you use wisdom and discernment in who you allow close. They might not understand it in those terms, but that is what they are doing every time they scan the room to see if you are putting them in danger. Your parts will need to be able to trust Yeshua when the time comes for them to face that they were manipulated into being cult loyal, and that life, love, and belonging are nothing like what they were taught. In time, your trust in Him becomes their bridge to freedom.
