THE SCHIZOPHRENICS (EDITED AND CORRECTED)

 THE SCHIZOPHRENICS (EDITED AND CORRECTED) His bad relationship with women had led him to drugs, because of the drugs he had begun to hear voices, and the voices were transforming his life into a hell that was getting worse day by day, an imminent tragedy was foreseen in the personal apocalypse in Mateo's life. Like a satanic raid besieging an unprotected city, the raid was the voices, the city, his mind, which the voices craved. And the lack of protection was his spiritual chaos. They gave him orders all the time or told him what he was about to do to boast: "See how we dominate you? Good boy" He often had to do things dysfunctionally just for the pleasure of disobeying because by doing so the voice became more real, powerful, arrogant, sardonic, intelligent. Many dreams plagued him repeatedly. He saw a man who looked like a horse, almost like a centaur, but not quite. He also saw himself between white walls. He saw rivers of crystal-clear water. He saw things passing by, as if watching a movie: landscapes, cities, buildings, terminals, ports, and he also saw a succession of men's faces looking at him silently. That particular dream filled him with peace. But while awake, he felt like his life was slipping away. He sensed he had to make a brilliant, unexpected move or perish. But what was the move? Time was running out. He had a group of friends he rarely saw; he was like the satellite member of the group. But ever since he confessed to them that he heard voices and attributed it to drugs, they were incoherent, avoiding him, fearful of contagion, but never giving up cannabis. He worked as a mailman and studied piano, much to the chagrin of his teacher, who no longer knew how to convince him to give up because of his lack of talent. Lately, he had a very bad relationship with his mother. His father had died when he was a child, and she had divorced her second husband. However, the relationship had worsened drastically in recent months. All in all, for Mateo, she seemed to have a different personality, to the point where he often felt he didn't recognize her, which led him to look over and over again at old photos of her. He didn't understand why she did this, but this was the reason: he didn't recognize her. Hateful, violent, indiscreet, and scandalous, she fought with someone in the streets every day; he even found her unhygienic. But what bothered him most was that he also found her a sex addict, since now she was making sexual advances toward him. His blunt rejection filled her with hatred, making her look for excuses to vent her anger on Mateo. And besides this, there were many unfinished business from the past. Like when she took him to a nun for his social inadequacy at age 13, and after laying on his hands, she said to him in front of her: "Your parents are the cause of all your ills." She remained silent and impassive, and they never clarified the matter. What caught her attention the most was saying "your parents," knowing he was dead. But there was an event that began to blossom in Mateo's mind, which at first he thought was a dream. He saw himself waking up in his room and a nurse was giving him an injection. His mother looked at him from the doorway, smiling ironically, and he fell back asleep. As the image returned again and again, one day he said, "That was real, it was on that Sunday afternoon..." and he angrily rebuked his mother, "What were they giving me? Who was that woman?" She pretended, with very little talent, not to know what he was talking about and hypocritically diagnosed him with schizophrenia and asked him to see her urgently. "Because they become violent and dangerous with their hallucinations," she added: "I think you're ready for Jerusalem." That was the name of a legendary psychiatric hospital in a nearby town, where people with mental illness and behavioral disorders were admitted, and it was a common slang term in the province whenever someone went off the rails, humorously.She pointed out “Jerusalem.” Mateo thought the comment was exaggerated, but it was the least of her surprises. He simply replied: “The dead man laughs at the man who has been beheaded.” and retreated to his room. He couldn’t even escape his hell with television or the internet; his attention deficit was so severe that he couldn’t watch movies. But when he tried to watch the movie “Gataca,” his head made a “click,” and it wasn’t because of a global analysis of the plot, but because of a specific scene, when she asks him: “What? Are you the son of God?” “That’s the reason for all my conflicts,” he said, staring into space. A succession of clicks occurred in his head. At that moment, he began an internal journey, reconciling himself with God and with Jesus. He bought a Bible and began to read and pray and pray without ceasing. In a park where he found a beautiful shrine to Jesus, he said: “Since I am a failure on earth, I will be a success in heaven. Goodbye world, I consecrate myself to God.” And then he saw in his head that centaur but his features no longer seemed like a horse but a lamb, it was the Divine Lamb! It was the King of Kings!, Jesus of Nazareth who told him: For having opened the doors wide open now I can protect you from everything that was prepared for you ... you are the last ... "With eyes full of tears he opened the Bible at random 3 times and read: "Whoever answers me, we will go to my Father and make our home in him" which he was already feeling with great joy in his heart, then he read: "A thousand will fall at your right hand, ten thousand at your left and they will not touch you" and finally: "Go to the nations and make disciples of me." "Understood. "Let's get to work, there's no time to waste!" he exclaimed. He already knew what to do: preach, work for God full-time. He was already decided to abandon his job and his studies. Due to bad experiences both in the Catholic and Protestant churches, he wouldn't be religious; he would be a kind of free monk living at God's mercy. Leaving home was his golden dream, and with God in his heart, the weight of his mediocre life was transformed into pure light. He returned home late at night, after a long walk-meditation. It seemed strange to him that his mother had left dinner ready on the table, which was very unusual: chicken with potatoes, still steaming hot. Hungry, he devoured it in a second, and when there was nothing left, he said: "From now on, I must bless the food every day." That would be one of the thousands of new habits he had to acquire in his new state. Because his body, his mind, his soul were in a truly new and more elevated state. And this was even reflected in his appearance; a new light was in his eyes. Which transformed everything he observed. The once dark and gloomy world now seemed like a warm, bright, and welcoming place. But when he tried to stand up, he felt dizzy, his eyes were stiff and sluggish, his legs didn't respond, everything went blank in his mind, and he collapsed deeply unconscious on the floor. Meanwhile, his mother and the nurse watched from behind, smiling almost with laughter, imitating him as he fell. Confirming that they had indeed overdosed... "Blessed are those who wait for him" is the most revealing phrase in the Bible, Jesus said in his mind when he tried to wake up, traveling in the ambulance in a straitjacket headed for Jerusalem. Upon seeing him, the nurses gave him another dose of the powerful sleeping pill. To put him back to sleep, he saw Jesus radiant, magnanimous, omnipotent, glorious, standing over the entire planet Earth. A planet of which only a few, very few, have truly known Him, but can there be reproaches if this is how it is written that it should be? Naturally, the good must be scarce, and the extraordinary even more so. And there are the called and the chosen. "Who will stand until He comes?" God himself asks of the exhaustive purification that Jesus must subject the aspirants to in order to be worthy of the kingdom. And despite how demanding it is, mercy is greater because Matthew had been a great sinner all his life. But no one innocent and pure can enter the kingdom, except redeemed, so that he may love much, for how much he was forgiven, that "he made us weak to show us his mercy" so that the spirit of humility always reigns in the proselyte, that there was already a haughty rebel and much havoc he caused. As soon as he opened his eyes, Matthew recognized the whiteness of his room; it was that of one of his repeated dreams. Much later, he would understand that these dreams would be like his guideposts throughout his long pilgrimage that was about to begin. Disconcerted but full of faith, Matthew prayed deeply for truth, justice, and liberation from his unjust situation, demanding the fulfillment of Jesus' words in the park, but also those of the entire Bible, requesting a liberation as miraculous as that of Peter and John in prison or the spectacular salvation of Psalm 18. And yes, it was something like that. There was a brief but powerful earthquake in heavenly for the definitive reign of God on Earth, to which I will legislate, that it seemed good to Him to hide His truth from the wise and rich to give it to the least of the world so that they may be first in His heart. Because God always chooses the least and weakest so that all the glory may be for Him as it should be. And by the luck of that nature, make you, forgotten and marginalized, participants of His grace, of His good pleasure, dominion and power. Because God reduces the proud and elevates the humble repentant. Tell everyone that there is only salvation in the God of Israel: Yahweh but “to those who believed in Him, He gave the power to become children of God” I said through John then believe because faith in My Name is a saving vibration. Because my name Jesus means Yahweh saves. HALLELUJAH!” The voice of Jesus echoed throughout the enormous hospital. Doctors, nurses, and security agents were paralyzed, literally unable to move, for they were all part of the same satanic enterprise, as complicit as the nurse, and they knew perfectly well who the freed ones were, for they were some of its evil voices. They had worked on them all their lives for their never-awakening, perdition, and final destruction, far from God for the sins they induced. Devils who, wanting to break their minds, were the ones who broke their minds, along with their hearts and their damned hope of a triumph that meant the complete destruction of humanity. And when they were already celebrating the satanic triumph of their work and about to deliver the final blow and extinguish that light forever, the imminent and saving radiance of Jesus rescued them and removed them from the infamous guillotine of the Antichrist. Among all the faces, Mateo spotted one who appeared to be a doctor and was identical to his father, whom he only knew from photographs, and indeed He was, and none other than the director of that Satanic Hospital, a quasi-concentration camp for potential savers. And by the grace of Jesus, they were now truly saved. There were a total of 12 patients who escaped from the building freely, silent without celebration, but all with the same light in their eyes. And a mark on their foreheads that only angels and demons saw, as well as the humans who were part of the devil's enterprise. Sealing their overprotection and untouchability. For the glory of God Yahweh. PRAISED. END "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." Luke 24:47 = Isaiah 2 = Micah 4 And in the last days the mountain of the Lord's house will be prepared in the top of the mountains, and will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will flow to it. And many peoples will go and say, 'Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. FOR OUT OF ZION WILL GO OUT THE LAW AND THE WORD OF THE LORD FROM JERUSALEM. Revelation 21:2-27 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more, neither will there be mourning nor crying nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away. For consider your calling, brothers. Not many were wise according to the human senses, not many were mighty, not many were of noble birth, But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God chose the weak things of the world to shame the things that are strong. 28 God chose the base things of the world and the despised things, even the things that are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 so that no flesh should boast in his presence. 1 Corinthians 1:1-2
