Amen I was delivered and set free from anxiety attacks through the strength of Our Lord JESUS CHRIST through His Powerful Word!!!! You are not alone!!! He will never leave you or forsake you!!! He cares for you!!
can you share what was like Jesus brought out anxiety attacks when medication could not work
Amen! Praise Jesus! HE is our healer!
Anxiety is often symptoms of a real hormonal balance or improper functioning of the endocrine and nervous systems. It is not worry or stress, though that may happen.
Anxiety often grows out of an improperly functioning body and your mind becomes concerned, like it should, when the body is under duress.
Anxiety attacks can be triggered subconsciously, and because of the improperly functioning nervous and endocrine systems, it unleashes a fight or flight response. This idea that you can control these kind of attacks are generally wrong.
Anxiety is not a sin. It is a real medical condition. This idea that it is you worrying needlessly is simply wrong. Though there may be anxiety like that, the broad brush is wrong.
By the way when God tells us not to worry, what law is being broken given that sin is the transgression of the law?
Yes I was also, I suffered from morning depression and anxiety it was horrible from a past relationship I developed it. I just starting reading up on delivery of these diseases, So one day I just started to fast and pray and reading gods word. It didn’t happen over night but I started noticing changes with In my mental state in the mornings and just started declaring gods word over my situation. God is so good when we fully let go of our burdens.
@@donnamb7901 Amén that’s right!!!
In 2019 I went through daily panic attacks, every single day. It was so overwhelming, that car rides leaving home to work or go to the store would send extreme fear and dread to my very core. Every time I felt that I had to pee my pants because how scared I was. Then I heard the song "burn the ships," and the story of his wife flushing the pills. Not trusting in them, but trusting in Jesus Christ. I felt so encouraged. It was peace that I'm not all alone or the only one having panic attacks and fear. What I did every morning and night was read psalm 23 and psalm 91. I spoke God word over me 2Timothy 1:7 - For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." God walk with me through my darkness, and brough light, peace, and calm only that Jesus Christ can give. Thank you for this story. It reminds me when God brought me out of darkness, into light.
Amen sister Jesus is always the answer 🙏🙏
Thanks for sharing! Burn the ships has had a profound effect on me also! God bless you! Stay connected to Jesus and God's people!
Thank you for sharing &God bless you.
When I read this my heart skipped. When I was 10 years old I awoke one night and started having panic attacks for no apparent reason. I couldn't sleep or eat I was so possessed by this fear. My mom had told me years ago that God had given her a verse for me 2 Timothy 1:7. She hung it in a frame above my bed. I repeated the words over and over and over again as well as the same Psalms you mentioned when, as a little girl and even now, I was experiencing darkness. Thank you for sharing and letting me know I'm not alone sister in Christ ❤️
Reading what you went through, move my heart too. We think we are going through this battle all alone, that we're alone in this fight. It amazing how God does not leave us alone, and if we try to believe Jesus can help us, Jesus help in a mighty way. Reminds me how scripture says "for God is an ever present help in our problems." God help our daily problems, comfort us with his words, send peace, and an answer to fear. Till this day I still read the same sciptures. It soften my heart because reminds how God showed up for me. Also what you and I went through is in Ephesians 6:12, it important to put on the armour of God Ephesians 6:11-18. It is a daily mental war and we have to seek Jesus for victioury and peace. He is the Prince of Peace, and "He who the son [Jesus Christ] set free, is free indeed."
Finally talking about getting mental health care in Christianity, prayer is not always enough
Yes, glad to hear this. Sometimes he answers our prayers with a good therapist or other physical and mental health support!
GOD is more than enough❤😊
Joy 100% agree with you
Yes. People need tools and support. That is how God made us.
"Getting mental health care?" Who gave her the drugs? Doctors. When they stopped working, who upped the dose? Doctor's. Who got her off? She did. The night she called her husband and said come home now.
All I see is that big drug pharma and doctor's created an addict problem in her, on top of her initial health needs. They layered an unnecessary battle onto her. Doctor's do say addiction isn't a choice. Yes it is a choice. She took her power back the day she made a choice to get off legal drugs. I totally support her healing process. But realize that doctor's chose to induce a legal drug habit in her. Drug pharma kills 300,000 people every year in USA. It is a multi billion dollar business. I'm thankful she wasn't one of them.
Call it what it is.
I need prayer, I have a similar situation like Courtney but without pills.
I’ll be praying for you 🙏🏼❤️ @Damaris B.
@@lovely-xg5ep Thankyou very much, blessings from Romania
@#Strong&Courageous God bless you, thankyou!
Praying for you.
prayers
I really appreciate this Courtney!! I have often felt like I must have a lack of faith because I have suffered with anxiety so long. It is easy to feel ashamed.
Same here 😌❤️
My daughters and I have a lot of anxiety due to verbal and emotional abuse by my husband. One daughter has suffered panic attacks and one has unreasonable fear of social interaction. My husband needs deliverance from his desire to control and manipulate every situation and relationship. He carries a lot of fear of death and sickness. We need deliverance from his control and the fear of his outbursts. Please pray for us.
Lots of love and prayers for you and your family Stand strong God is by you every step of the way and He will never leave you our forsake you He hears us when we pray. ❤️🙏🏼
I am praying for you and your family💜
🙏♥️
Praying for you, your daughters and your husband. May all of you experience deliverance from all the hurts and pain inflicted on you and receive Jesus’ pure, steadfast love and peace. ♥️
This was me since 2013 but God literally took away my anxiety overnight! I'm claiming victory for anyone else who needs to be delivered because it is possible. Many people will tell you that it is a lifelong disease but refuse to believe that because he can turn it around for you in an instant if you ask and believe!
Jesus healed me
I don't miss it. I pray others are healed in the name of Jesus 🙏♥️
i agree. i was cured of social anxiety disorder.
I receive that ♥️
Amen
Amen...I received this
I also have anxiety ptsd depresja is awful please pray for me for me every Day is hell
Today was a day where my husband has an explosive argument with all the personal things I'm dealing with my family and mother struggling with illness. it was so overwhelming and while I am researching things online I listened to Dawn by Rebecca St James I came across Courtney's testimony after watching it with the ending prayer I know that I am not alone with anxiety and fear but most of all Christ is with me in every way. If you are able please thank her for me & God bless!
I have postpartum PTSD currently. The Burn the Ships song has been instrumental in my process of healing and growing. I am praying that one day I will look back on this time and praise God for His deliverance and see Him in a whole new beautiful way.
panic and anxiety here, bipolar disorder, it never goes away, I have to give it to God
❤️
Jesus can heal you. Anxiety attacks happen a lot of times when we try to figure everything out and trying to handle it. But we have to, bit by bit, give our worries and concerns to Jesus. He loves us.
I needed to hear this. With the pandemic and all the stress and motherhood...I have been going through a lot and I tend to bottle up everything. I have hope that God will hear my cry. Thankyou.
Perla, don't allow yourself to think that you are alone. I struggle with this lie every day. I'm not alone, and neither are you! Hang in there.
I still struggle. I run to God through it. It is scary at times. I believe for my deliverance. I'm so happy that Jesus meets us right where we are. Thank you all for your stories and encouraging testimonies of how God delivered you
Amen! We're glad that this story has inspired you. God is aware of our situation and He is able to bring breakthrough in our lives. }
SO proud of how they dealt with this real issue!
I love your videos! May God bless you abundantly and may your ministry yield a hundred fold return.
It's always good to hear good testimonies of what the Lord has done to help people in their difficult situations . God bless.
Good to heard that, I'm not alone, but I'm so tired of this. Sometimes I feel so empty. God is my strength, but many times i don't know how to handle this. Thanks for the messages.
No matter what you are never alone God is with you in Psalm 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. 2 Corithians 12:9
But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
I had Menier Syndrome too but in the name of Jesus I was healed. Of course my lifestyle change too .I cook my own food,healthy y natural ,do exercise and ,trust in God.
I went to inpatient therapy for anxiety and depression and suicidal ideations from 10 years of emotional abuse. Family rejection. Been 5 weeks. Then had to go off my meds a week ago. I think Im ok then the tears flood and wont stop. When will it end?? Im praying so much
Dawn, I'm putting you on my prayer list. I encourage you to ask some Christian friends to surround you with prayer during this difficult time. I would also look for a friend you can call when it's especially hard, so they can pray with you over the phone. You need believers to walk through this with you. I'm praying for you.
I'm also putting you on my prayer list. You are not alone. Dawn, you will overcome this in Jesus' name. You will grow stronger than look back one day and see how far you have come. God is right here with you Dawn
Praying for you 🙏
Prayed. Thank you. I have been so fearful and at night I feel like screaming and crying. I just want to die.
God is with you Angeline
You are not alone. You are going to defeat with all these episodes in your life. God is able to heal you from all those situations. I pray for you.
I hope you are doing well. There was a time where I too wanted to die. I was suicidal.
In fact, I realized later on that I had a demon of depression and anxiety in me.
God however delivered me. I felt so free.
I believe through fasting and praying God can deliver you from any demon. Also, reading the word of God is important.
May God bless you and free you.
Angeline you are loved. Abba loves you. Accept His love. You don't have to do anything to earn it. I am praying for a joy and peace in you like never before!
Angeline, the Lord Jesus loves you! He has counted the very strands of hair on your head. Your Name is written in His Palm. He knows you by name! You are His! May His joy be your strength. May you overcome in your trials, in Jesus's Name!
I understand exactly how you feel!! Fear and anxiety is scary!
Sometimes situations in life don’t make sense, but God hears you and He has a plan, even when we don’t see it.
Yes Lord remove anxiety stress
This really spoke to me and reminds me that I can be free in Christ. I’ve struggled for years with different things I keep to myself. I want to be transformed in Christ.
Amen🙏🙏🙏 Give it all to God. He loves you❤
I get the anxiety too. It’s been getting worse with the pandemic. Sometimes I feel so scared that I am going to die because I am having panic attacks. I just feel like we are going downhill as a nation and are headed for God’s judgement. I am scared of dying. I am 22 and I know Jesus, but I am so afraid that I will not experience the normal milestones of life because 2020 may be the end times. That makes me feel so anxious. Not knowing what will happen day after day, natural disasters everywhere, riots, it’s just non-stop.
I just have to pray.
Don't be afraid, God is with you and will never leave you!
Give your fear to God, and I pray that you may know His peace in your life. He protects you,
yes the world is getting darker but Jesus is our Light, let us fix our eyes on Him.
We don't know how the future will look like, but as His beloved children we can hold fast to His promises and that we have
a bright future in Him. God bless you!!!
God healed me from panic attacks and I’m so grateful. Also grateful for what He’s doing in the lives of others as well. God is so faithful!
AMEN! ..... Keep the ... FAITH STRONG! God's way .... is the only WAY! ... 💥💫💥
Prayed. This really spoke to me this morning. Not really coping with all this doom that is surrounding our world. Can't stand the masks and I miss church, fellowship and praise. Thank you for sharing. God bless 700 and all at king and country.
She is the wife of one of the men from kings and country😮 unbelievable
She Is Married To Luke
Yes she is she so beautiful
I was having anxiety attack all day and I just really need to watch this. Thank you for this!
I have struggled with anxiety attacks for years; since I was a teenager and I am 70 years old now. These attacks are horrible. As a Christian, I have prayed, used medications, Christian Counseling, exercise, etc. I haven't completely put the anxiety attacks in my past, but I know the Lord is with me when I have one. Some times I feel like I am dying and I will go into a room and isolate. My insides shake. I haven't put these attacks in my past, but without God, I know I wouldn't be here. This is the first time I have ever shared any of this with any one other than God, my Husband, and Counselors.
I went through depression from losing my mom june 2 2019 sunday morning at 200 clock she is with jesus Christ now thank god for everything he has done for me and my mom
Raven I’m sure your Mom is your guardian angel
I need this deliverance. ❤️
You're not alone Courtney. I gave that kind of call to my husband so he could take me to the ER. I had a plan and everything. My PTSD was thru the roof and was having High anxiety and ended up in a mental ward for a week while I get on medication to help me. I'm still on medication and therapy but it's helping. The lord is leading me to a more healthy way and healing me. The lord was with me there and it made a huge difference.
I am just starting to accept that I suffer from real anxiety and it's been hard. It's not rational, and sometimes I feel as though I can't control myself from overeacting all the time.
Thank you for the prayer! It helped me realize I am not alone. God is always by my side!♥️
Thank you Lord for loving us and for not giving up on us and for caring so much for us. I needed to hear this!!
I had depression and anxiety for over forty years, I had spent weeks, years in a sea of despair. I had been on various medications over the year. I finally accepted my Lord God and asked for His forgiveness through His Son Christ Jesus. It was the verse in the second letter of Paul to Timothy 1:7 “ for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power and love and a sound mind “ , that was my lightbulb moment realising that the adversary was the cause of my mind of fear. I never took another tablet. I have such peace my life has been transformed. If I could give anyone advice I would say to pray often to the Father and read His word every day, and don’t just read the words, actually live your life by them; be a doer. God Bless you.
So, this is the story behind Burn the Ships song. Interesting...
Yes, I went to two of their concerts and luke told us this story
Love it!
Yes
Yes! It's my favorite video of them
I keep praying my anxity is taking over my life, it wont stop.i beg godot take it, I cant breath
Prayed for you Hayley! Try listening to beautiful sacred music each day. I have a playlist you can use. Take care!
God is a Great Deliverer. After years of panic attacks and anxiety, God took them all away 2 years ago! He will definitely do the same for you when you trust him.🙌
DEAR COURTNEY AND LUKE JUST PRAYING FOR YOU GUYS I JUST LOSS MY HUSBEND LAST YEAR AND HAVING MY DOG WITH HER SUGREY ITS WAS SO BAD GOD IS HEALING YOU GUYS GOD BLESS YOU
I just absolutely love Courtney & Luke...they are such an inspiration to me and my screwed up life.....I’d be honored some day if I could meet these 2.....Amen🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for the prayer against anxiety. I have always been there for others and now I need to be lifted up in 🙏🏾. Also had a sudden death in the family which possibly triggered the anxiety on top of what seems like an insurmountable work load that’s job-related
I am praying for you Beth💜
Tara Bogar Thanks so much. I feel much stronger even though i’m under immense workload. I can feel that the more I just simply trust God every day and not try to figure things out too much, my burdens are lifting.
Tara Bogar Thanks for your support in prayer Tara. I pray that God’s surrounds you with his provision and peace
I had depression and anxiety+insecurity and more

I Love her Honest Testimony of what God brought her through
Her story brought me to tears
God is so Amazing,& good to us
God is Always with us whether we know it or not
Gods Got This 🙌🙌
Just Beautiful testimony, Hope does not disappoint when we are in Christ.
I prayed that prayer. Thank you. I work in mental health...it's draining, frustrating & it causes me to experience anxiety and panic attacks. I dread going there most days & can't enjoy my day off because of the dread of returning to "What now?" I take anxiety meds every once in a while but I try not to do it consistently. My mom takes them as well. Please pray for her also. She's not dependent on them, however she takes more than I. She's also a Believer & Follower of Christ. Thank you again and GOD bless you all. 🙏🏼☝🏽👤💯
Gr8lyblzd&highlyfavored nothing wrong with anxiety medication and being a believer
@@annomaly751 Thanks. I know but I've never been a fan of medication. Even as a child of 3 or 4 years old if you can believe that. I just don't want to become dependent on them. IDK, I guess I'm just weird about it. 😏
I love you ♥️guys so much! Thank you for your music I was living in the past and now I don't have to anymore.
Thank you for sharing your story!!
Amen! Jesus helped me through my anxiety and I am so much stronger now because of it. I know it may be hard to see, but God is with you through every storm and you may not understand now, but one day you’ll realize how he’s working in you. Keep fighting, you have a purpose and you are so loved! 😁

i prayed with you🙏🙏🙏
Courtney, God bless you for sharing this. I am such a huge fK&C fan, and it all started with my hearing Luke talking about the reason behind this song Burn the Ships, and watching and listening to it. I actually was in the midst of one of my most debilitating panic attacks when I listened to that song. Ever since that experience, I have felt the power of God in my anxiety, helping me try to control it. For the first time ever, I have sought counseling and am working with my mental demons. I am so grateful to YOU for sharing this in your words, thank you thank you thank you. You have touched me deeply, personally, to know that I am not alone and that my favorite band in the world has experience with real life situations especially mental health. I admire you, I am following you on social media, and I love your sweet family, oh that cute little baby girl!! Love, Hope, and Blessings❤️
Jesus Christ can take illnesses away. Christ is powerful , trust in the Lord. Fix our eyes upon the Lord, Jesus is the way the way ,the truth and the life. Praying for Luke and Courtney, Jesus will never leave you nor forsake you. I deal with bipolar disorder since I was 15 , I put my faith in God
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻💕
Thank you God for helping her 💝
Amen 🙌🏼
God is greater than our fears

Incredible story
She is a miracle!
Thank you so much for this and thank you to Courtney for sharing her story. I have dealt with such severe anxiety the past few years but I'm grateful for the strength and insight I've received from others and from God himself. Truly we are never alone, even when we feel like we are, Christ is always there 💜
wonderful currently in the process of writing a book on this it’s specifically for women as so many women suffer with this a lot of women loose their identity during pregnancy due to as she said trauma, hormones and feeling overwhelmed.
Amen
It's so amazing...
Thank You Jesus, for Your incredible grace and Love for Us, I praise You From the Brazil :D
Oh yes I used to feel that way too but now I’m doing a lot better. Myself fete that way.
Last year I was diagnosed with Lumiers disease after having strep throat. I was told the same thing as Courtney. A 1 in a million. I was in the hospital for 5 days after it caused a blood clot in my brain which caused a seizure. What are the chances that one of the wives of my favorite band dealt with something so similar. I am recovering still, struggling with anxiety from it, but I know that God is in control and I am here for a reason! Praise the Lord! His mercies are new every morning.
Hi, Abigail! Thank you for sharing your journey and your incredible strength. It's truly remarkable how even in the midst of challenges like Lumiers disease and the aftermath you faced, you continue to hold on to your faith in God. Your resilience is inspiring! Our prayer is that you would keep your unwavering trust in God's plan, for He is indeed in control, guiding us through each step. (Isaiah 41:10) Your praise and gratitude are a testament to the God of hope and His new mercies that greet us every day. May your recovery be steady, and your anxiety find peace. (Jeremiah 30:17) You're an inspiration, and your story resonates with the strength that comes from God. Stay blessed and encouraged by His promises. }
I need a book on this. I prayed w 700 club for my anxiety attacks lots of times over years. Now my doctor has me on these addictive pills every four hours
I prayed with you and i need more 🙏 prays
May we always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people (Ephesians 6:18), @kellyhuffman5082.

Thank you for this post THANKS alotand I needed it to
We are always afraid to share about anxiety attacks. But when we are surrounded by true Godly people we are loved unconditionally and we will make it through our struggle through God and the people we love.❤️
