Mental illness and suicide are two of the most painful and confusing realities in our broken world. Both carry stigmas that only add to the pain, heartache and loss. But, God is there to help, heal and release hope. Most people don’t know but there are examples of mental illness and even suicide in the Bible. In this talk Pastor Les Beauchamp addresses the painful realities and gives a clear pathway to hope and healing.

Sometimes He does. In 1997, I lived on the corner unit of the 22nd floor of a high rise apartment building. I was about to take a running leap across my living room to take a flying leap over my balcony. The phone rang. I was going to ignore it and jump anyway, but something about the sound of it drove me up a wall, so I answered it. The ringing was a hundred times more grating to my ears than normal.
It was a friend of mine, a truly devout, born again Christian who said God told her to drop everything and call me right NOW. She had an incredible relationship with God. She said that God asked her to stop me, whatever it was I was doing at that moment; please stop and consider the trauma left behind for my loved ones to deal with.
😮
I became born again very soon after, and filled that God-sized hole in my heart, and never again felt that horrible pain and lost emptiness of suicidal ideation.
That is amazing. Thank you for sharing that.
I am starting to lose my faith because of severe depression.
Ditto
Same
Please do not lose faith friend. God is always there with you even if you may not feel it. The devil will think he's winning by driving you into depression. You must prove that filthy snake wrong. Jesus will always answer. Just call out to Him. You can do this my friend ❤
Please pray for me. I am losing the battle, and I cannot see God anymore. I thought I belonged to Jesus, but my faith has been tested in years - decades - of depression that medication does not help. I am close to ending it as my cries have gone unanswered and I feel abandoned by God. I cannot handle the mental and emotional torment another day.
I totally understand. Just brcause i cant feel or understand Hos love at times i know its true. Yhe pressure to feel and understand is more pressure. He sees, he cares and nothing is forever
Hi Bethany 👋, I am hoping 🙂 you are a bit better now. God bless you 🙏 ❤ 🙌. I do experience depression myself, I know how horrible it 😞 can be. In the past year I had and still have so many thoughts , not the good ones! I pray 🙏 for you 🙏 to be well. Give me a sign please. Thanks.
@@xxgamerxxilean8738 Thank you, I am still holding on. Thank you for your prayers; I will pray for you, as well. 🌹
@@bethanysaxton7351 Hi Bethany, I sent you a message, to see how you are doing. I hope you're well. 😇🤗😇
Hello 👋 dear Bethany, I hope you're well. Just wanted to check you are OK 👍, please my friend write ✍ 🙏 to let me know everything is fine 🙂. Thanks
I'm so tired. Every breath I take hurts. I feel so alone.
Many are v tired. Get a good support system. Online, offline. Eat nutritious, get exercise and a calming hobby. I’ve had this 40 years and support was key! God bless you
@@Tracey..Hcoming back here. Been having good days, then suddenly bam, ocd flared up and couldn't get a good night's sleep and started carastrophizing again. It's so exhausting.
I feel you 🙏
Please talk to your loved ones and get a good doctor ❤️🙏🏼
It will get better don't give up
It’s so hard. But with EVERY ounce of energy we have left, we must ask Jesus for help. Us commenting here is proof that we are NOT alone. Help right now in this moment, Jesus. We all need you. Like.. now.
@@juliacoburn7455 Jesus is the son of God who has always existed. He died and was raised, his presence is with every Christian.
@@juliacoburn7455 1 corinthians1:18 The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.
John 3:16.For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
Seek God with a sincere heart to see if he is real, I dare you to. Christianty is not about boring religion, its a personal relationship with our creator, its what we were created for.
Take your medications...please.
Still relevant for me in 2021
@@juliacoburn7455 why do you criticize those who hold these beliefs to be true and help their mental health issues? Does it harm you personally in any way? You don’t believe it? Fine. That’s on you, but it’s not your place to judge and ridicule someone else’s belief system if it brings them genuine hope. You are a vile person. You miserable and like to bring people down with you. Misery loves company.
I have struggled with depression for 30 years, sadly it cost me my job and forced disability on me, I tried everything over the decades, medication, counseling ect. I’m now suffering from lung issues and other health problems. I have Prayed so much for Peace and Happiness. Lord it’s so hard on me as well as my wonderful wife. I’ve missed out on so much life
I’m sorry to hear you’ve been struggling so much but I do understand because I’ve felt the same way.
I have no idea why God felt compelled to create a world like this. It makes no sense.
Samson took his own life. 22 veterans, and 117 others DAILY kill themselves.
Everyone is so quick to say that you “can be healed.” Of course we can be healed. However, God doesn’t choose to heal everyone and he certainly has not chosen to heal me. (and obviously thousands and millions of other people too.)
So what is the point of all the suffering we are being forced to endure?
And don’t tell me I’m going to get a reward for it later. No I would simply rather cease to exist altogether than have to go through a life like this and wait an entire lifetime to be loved by the one and only being who truly loves me, but is more like a phantom than real to me, since I cannot see, hear, or feel him.
Christian ministry for mental illness traumatized me more. Tossing meds, full of demons, alters...I now advocate for others like myself who get derailed by warped, extra biblical deliverance baloney. Oh there's demons, but most mi people have childhood trauma which changes thoughts and brain chemistry. I was just told I was a disobedience sinner. I have bpd from horrible childhood trauma. THANK God Jesus understands becuz most his ppl dont.
I'm so sorry you have experienced that
You are so right. Childhood trauma is one of the main causes of emotional and mental health challenges.
My favorite one was, "JUST REPENT, BRO!" How the hell do you repent having grown up ths product of gang violence and alcoholism?
@@RisenPhoenix68 I did. 14 years of a ravaging opioid addiction and I quit cold Turkey one day 9 years ago with no therapies
@@CSAccetura Good for you. Your case is the exception, not the rule.
Please pray for me my mind is full of negative thoughts can't fight depression it's overwhelming.
Our Ability to Trust God and Trust Others Can Be Shaped By:
Our childhood upbringing
Our perception of God as a friend, provider, and Father
Our ability to safely rely on our parents
Our history with previous relationships/friendships
Past betrayals/deceptions
Now I’m dealing w religious ocd type thing. Constant thoughts I lost salvation. Mental illness is terrible
Me right there
some people dont have a clue what the inner turmoil is like
@@4dmoragainstbut God does
You can't lose salvation, it is an ETERNAL GIFT from GOD. If you believe in Jesus Christ which means His death on the cross, burial and resurrection for our sins, you are sealed with the Holy Spirit forever, born again of spirit.
@@christian5051 I hope so
I am really struggling. Really want to leave this earth painlessly and go to heaven.
God please help me. Im in trouble.
I've had depression for 56 yrs. I can't count the number of Christian's, that seem to be sooo ignorant of those that have a chemical imbalance and severe depression. Their advice just future insults those Christians that are suffering, If I didn't have my meds, I don't believe I would be here!! I suffer from suicidal thoughts. Everytime I put out a Jesus tract somewhere, Satan majorly attacks me!! The attacks have me in a place of, I can't handle anymore attacks!! Since I came to God in Jesus Christ, I have had every and any relationships with family members, my adult children, to be
broken, destroyed. I feel like I've suffered more rejection, and disrespect, than I can describe. This video, is finally, something more validating, than I can remember receiving in a long time. Praise God He helped me find it. 🙏😪😔
Christians and worldly ppl are all dumb. That's why I just sit around all day, jerk off and collect disability.
I don't think the chemical imbalance theory holds up..
I think its psychological maladaptations to life that CAUSE the imbalances..
So is the chemical imbalance the cause or effect?... Its say its the effect of psychological maladaptations to the stages of life
I have schizoaffective disorder. Praise God I’m not my illness, but a son and an heir and a friend with Jesus! Thank you Lord Jesus for my crazy life. Thank you Lord Jesus that you can be Glorified because you’ve helped me to be compliant with showing me how to practice self care by taking the meds you have created. I don’t have to be hospitalized today. I feel so free even with my mental illness. Amen.
I hope you are doing well, and continue to heal and get better
I had Bipolar 14 years. Tried every known class of Pscyh medication consistently. Spent 2 years of my life in involuntary mental inpatient facilities. Mental Illness is the fruit of sin. Adam and Eve got it when they ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil... Divided Mind, Knowledge of Good with Evil mixed in. Jesus Christ bled from his brow, sweating blood and wearing a crown of thorns to heal all mental illness. He died and was buried and raised from the Dead by the Holy Spirit on the 3rd day and was taken back up bodily into Heaven. So that whoever calls upon His Name will be saved. And the Helmet of the Hope of Salvation He gives is the Protection for the Healing of the Mind corrupted by SIn.
Me to
Wonderful !!
Wow! This cleared up a lot of thoughts and feelings i've been dealing with for a while. I needed to hear this. Thank you so much for the clarifications and many blessings to you and your assembly.
I can't even count the amount of times that spirit of suicidal ideation has come for my soul, it's a horrible and horrific desperation that i cannot describe... it's an abyss that is completely void of love, hope, faith, and light. It's what i imagine purgatory feels like. God bless anyone whom deals with mental illness ad substance abuse issues. Y'all have my support, and remember Jesus has you, let Him in your entire heart, soul, mind, and body.
God bless, and remain hopeful. Never lose faith.
Thank you for this, I've been feeling like giving up for two years now, the stress of keeping up with bills, being in a relationship that I feel lonely & uncared for in, the depression is a lot to bear, i feel incomplete & exhausted, I keep saying when Im dead it will be over in my head, then sometimes I have even told myself this is God preparing me for hell, this helped me a lot, I was in tears almost all the way through it, but it helped a lot, I know the Lord can heal me & I surrender to him
I feel like I’m losing my battle. I think about dying everyday.. the only reason I’m still breathing is because I have a child.. I know ppl and the world will not love him the way that his mother will. I’m all he has and I want to give so bad.. I’m tired I don’t feel anything anymore, my faith has dried up, and I can’t see anything in my future.
dont surrender.every christian is with you.
I’m listening with tears. I struggle with anxiety and i take meds and I do feel embarrassed but listening to this msg makes me see things different . TY
Being depressed is NOT the same as suffering from clinical depression...
This too shall pass doesn't work
@@bplatonova it doesn't, my friend. I wish it did....
@@jasonedenfield7189 I've been praying for years, did a water fast and prayed for 21 days...nothing
I was delivered from clinical depression. I lived most of my life with it. 3 years without it, no meds. Living a surrendered life. I didn't even know I could be delivered of this. Doctors don't understand. There is nothing God cannot do. It took me desperate on my knees though begging God to help me and open my eyes.
Clinical depression is a whole nother monster!!
That is the answer in a nutshell: We are complex beings in a broken, and I will add "fallen" world.
The answer is: because people don't take the Bible literally enough, especially the part in which Jesus cast out spirits in order to set people free from their torment. There are spirits of mental illness tormenting people, and many don't know this, unfortunately. Here's an example of a deliverance prayer for mental illness: ua-cam.com/video/sz9ZQWRBdbE/v-deo.html
@@AI-ch3if Thanks.😁
I live in loneliness even when im around people , even church , i have begged GOD for help for years, i don’t blame Him or other people i have alot of self hate to the point of i don’t want to be around other people , i just want peace and to feel Joy again
I know is not easy but don't give up. Keep pushing forward and trust God for deliverance. 🙏
Isolation can become addicting yet it's not good for man to be alone.
Ppl are to blame. Blame then instead of urself. God could've helped n didn't. Fuck him. Give up on God and go live ur life. Give up on ppl to. But don't give up on u. Never ever do that.
I have bipolar depression and anxiety and there's no way that I could be off medications I have ruined so many relationships with people off of medication
There’s no words
A lot of Christian church teaching tends to make it worse. (Pray more etc)
I pray a lot all day I love God it’s not the problem. I’m serious okay it’s not lack of the Word or lack of time with God.
People assume that. They are wrong. Most of the people I know that self harm or hear voices, trust me, they are praying and reading the bible more then anyone!!!
A lot of friends I lost to suicide stayed up all night every night praying and seeking God. They were at every conference.
The best healing I have found is just finding family in the church. People you can trust and don’t judge you.
It’s messed up though
And very very sad
God is good. He will make it right oneday even if it is eternity
I think its because we are not giving our talents. Read the bible about the guys who recieved talents. I am going to try to be in a choir at church. See if this might help u. Or join a prayer group. Or usher or show your talent in church. Leys do this toghether. I will show u if it stopped me thunking of suicide
Crypto Teddy Bear little1 it’s so hard. But with EVERY ounce of energy we have left, we must ask Jesus for help. One day at a time. Us speaking and commenting is proof that we are NOT ALONE.
You wrote this 9 months ago, hope you are getting victory.. God bless
Yes true church sometimes make it worst. Doctors advice is not to pray for too long hours bcos sometimes our mind can become exhausted. Our mind need calmness.
Amen amen and amen. Thank you Lord Jesus for your saving grace. Thank you for never leaving me. I pray even though my mind is weak that you will give me strength to go on and the courage to overcome and trust in you. Thank you Heavenly Father for this message. I woke up this morning crying and feeling down, feeling a distance from God. I started searching for prayers for mental health and found this. Thank you Jesus for giving me this message and thank you God for this church and this pastor. I pray that God enriches all who see this and gives them strength.
Sometimes he does perhaps. Suicide survivor here. If you find yourselves there, just know it's the world and not God hating you.
Awesome sermon and changed my perspective on the use of medication for mental illness. I am a born again believer in Jesus Christ and have been suffering from severe panic attacks and depression and have struggled with using medication. I've been on antidepressants since childhood and recently had to change medication but have asked God to lift this disorder from me. The Lord has given me the gift of wisdom from a Psychiatrist through medication and I never really realized it until hearing this sermon that this could be his means of healing. I've struggled with the idea of medication for the past couple of years. This sermon has changed my perspective on that now!
No guilt.without meds where would we be.
So true!
Not all church pastor allow to take medicine. According to them mental illness are caused by devil. Only christians but other religion allow to take medication. Not all sicknesses are caused by devil.
I hear you and feel you. Amen
I really enjoyed this thank you. Needed to hear these good things, these important truths. 🙂
I needed to hear this. Thank you
The God of the bible DOES heal mental illness and he delivers from any bondage of the enemy ( suicide in this case ) and he is the ONLY way to freedom. Let God be true and EVERY man a liar! .
He does heal.
It really hurts as someone who’s struggled with serious mental health issues due to childhood abuse I’ve heard all of the 3 Ds from my own family I’ve even believed it about myself and tried to pray out the demons and don’t take the mental health drugs I’ve been prescribed . I questioned why God would let me be abused when I was a child so innocent and pure in his love. Unconditional love and the whole truth is what I needed. I love my mother but now that I have my own children I don’t allow her in our lives, but she also struggles with mental health issues and drug addiction for many years and she continues to emotionally abuse me and other people in her life. It hurts to see that she is in pain and that’s why she hurts other people but I don’t think that I have to be in her life and expose my child to that, but my family also tries to guilt trip me about that decision. I forgive her for the past but I don’t want to move forward with her in life.
Bless you and your mother. You both have mental health problem. I love you when you say you love your mother
Because god is bs and not real
Otherwise innocent kids wouldn’t suffer
I am so grateful for your wisdom around Gods word. I am deep in the part of life of not feeling worthy. I want my daughter to watch this...I want everyone to watch this..Gods peace. Trust the instruments, wonderful. The insights around healing and medications as I live this. Thank you.
Thank you for talking about what most pastors never talk about. The mental health stigma in the church is really strong.
What the fcuk do you have to be depressed about?.. You are a normie!
I’ve had SMI for 40 years! God saved me 22 years ago, healed of addiction! But not SMI. Once Jesus spoke to me and said, “ do not worry, you will not have a happy life, but your real life begins when you die.” I’m closer to that hope. I wish I didn’t have SMI, but I get moments of his peace. But man, what a HARD LONG TREACHEROUS SAD ROAD
So unfair! And especially when we are meant to enjoy this experience. I’m so sorry you had to come to this realisation and I pray that God makes a huge turn around for you for the rest of your days here 🙏💚✨
@@3rinityivysage292 thank you so much!
@@Tracey..H you’re welcome 💚 thank you for letting me know I’m not alone xx
@@3rinityivysage292you’re not alone. There’s 10000s of us! Just like a person has chronic health issues, we have mind issues. I think God really has a special grace for us. ❤❤
Such questions is what led me away from church. I wasn't the devil, it wasn't because I was unworthy, it was because it was damaging to my mental health. People always told me "God doesn't give anyone more than they can take". Then I look at the suicide statistics.
I have no idea where that saying came from, but sometimes I struggle to believe it as well.
I love this. I needed this
My head 100% agrees but part of my head is crying.
Thank you for this message i am a believer in jesus and live with depression each day and have never shared my feelings with anybody because of fear of what people would think of me but i know all that matters is what GOD thinks of me
In the Bible, Jesus set the example for deliverance: that is, casting out tormenting or oppressing spirits. There is a spirit of depression. Here, listen to this deliverance prayer: ua-cam.com/video/2truBuqJzfQ/v-deo.html If you start yawning, coughing, burping, or feel a tightness in your chest or throat (or any unusual reaction), that means the spirit is coming out. If you have no reactions, then try getting closer to Jesus, repent of any known sins, and try again. God bless!
God loves you and he can take this from you. Do not be ashamed or dismayed. He works all things together for your good.
@@LizaLavolta "He could take this from you." That's like telling a quadriplegic, "God could make you walk.". God could make a pink elephant fly out of your butt, too.
Hey,How's it going?
Most people doesn't understand people with depression and anxiety. Sadly, one of them are priest.
That is why many commit suicide
I have bipolar and it has been really hard. I need prayer. -John

THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "is a great last age (age of the word) that He will save man so accept the new and last work by done the Lord Jesus Christ"
"The Millennial Kingdom has Come" . ... (Everyone on Earth will celebrate the Word of God. God will use words that will conquer the universe. The descent of New Jerusalem from heaven is the coming of the words of God that will live with man, that will guide every action of man, and all of his whole will-inner thoughts. His words will be on earth for a thousand years, and they will reveal all His works, and complete all His works on earth, after this period mankind will come to their end.)
Almighty God said
GOD'S WORDS will SPREAD in UNNUMBERED HOMES, THESE WILL BE KNOWN by EVERYONE, and THIS IS the ONLY WAY His WORK will SPREAD in the UNIVERSE. ☀️
THAT MEANS, IF GOD'S WORK IS TO BE SPREADED THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE, THEN HIS WORDS MUST BE SPREADED. ☀️
In the day of God's glory, God's words will show their power and authority. Every one of His words from time immemorial until now will be fulfilled and come true. IN THIS WAY, GLORY WILL BE GONE--TO GOD ON EARTH---WHICH MEANS, HIS WORDS WILL RULE ON EARTH. 🙏
All the wicked will be punished by the words of God in the mouth of God, all the good will be blessed by the words in His mouth, and all will be established and completed by the words in His mouth.
Nor will He show any signs or wonders; everything will be fulfilled by His words, and His words will bring forth truths.💐
EVERYONE on EARTH will CELEBRATE the WORD of GOD, be it OLD or CHILDREN, MEN, WOMEN, OLD, or CHILDREN, ALL PEOPLE WILL SUBJECT to the WORDS of GOD. The words of God will appear as flesh, and will appear vivid and lifelike to the people of the earth. THIS IS THE MEANING OF THE WORD BECOMING FLESH. GOD CAME TO EARTH MAINLY TO FULFILL THAT TRUTH "the Word became flesh," which means, HE CAME SO HIS WORDS WOULD COME IN THE FLESH (not like in the time of Moses in the Old Testament, when God spoke directly from heaven). 🙏
After that, EVERY ONE OF HIS WORDS WILL BE FULFILLED IN THE AGE OF THE MILLENNIUM KINGDOM, they will become reality visible to human eyes, and people will see them with their own eyes without the slightest difference. This is the highest meaning of God's incarnation.
WHICH MEANS, the WORK of the SPIRIT is FULFILLED THROUGH the FLESH, and THROUGH WORDS.
THIS IS THE REAL MEANING OF "the Word became flesh" and "the manifestation of the Word in flesh."
ONLY GOD CAN SPEAK the WILL of the SPIRIT, and ONLY GOD in the FLESH CAN SPEAK on BEHALF of the SPIRIT; the WORDS of GOD are MADE PLAIN in the FLESH of GOD, and EVERYTHING is GUIDED BY IT. ⚘️🌹
No one is not covered, they all exist within its scope. Only from these utterances can people understand; those who cannot understand this are dreaming if they think they will understand these words they think they will understand these words in heaven.
Such is the authority manifested in the flesh of God: that makes all believe. EVEN the MOST RESPECTED EXPERTS and RELIGIOUS PASTORS CANNOT UTTER these WORDS.
They must believe the word, and no one can make a new beginning. GOD will USE WORDS that WILL CONQUER the UNIVERSE. He WILL DO this NOT with His FLESH, but with UTTERANCES from the MOUTH of GOD who BECAME FLESH to CONQUER ALL PEOPLE in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE; ONLY this is the WORD MADE FLESH, and this ONLY is the APPEARANCE of the WORD in the FLESH. 🙏
Perhaps, to people, it seems that God has not done everything completely----but GOD must FIRST SPEAK His WORDS so that PEOPLE can FULLY BELIEVE, and for them to be COMPLETELY IMPRESSED.
In the absurd, people shout and wait; at the word of God, they are silent. God will certainly achieve this truth, because this is God's long-term plan: fulfilling the truth of the coming of the Word to earth.
In FACT, there is NO NEED for Me to EXPLAIN---the COMING of the MILLENNIUM KINGDOM on EARTH is the COMING of GOD'S WORDS on EARTH. 🙏
The DESCENT of the NEW JERUSALEM from HEAVEN is the COMING of the WORDS of GOD that will LIVE with MAN, that WILL GUIDE EVERY ACTION of MAN, and ALL of HIS WHOLE WILL--INNER THOUGHTS. ☀️🙏
THIS is ALSO the TRUTH that GOD is REALIZING, and the WONDERFUL SIGHT of the MILLENNIAL KINGDOM. ☀️
THIS IS GOD'S PLAN:
His WORDS will be on EARTH for a THOUSAND YEARS, and they will REVEAL ALL His WORKS, and COMPLETE ALL His WORKS on EARTH, AFTER this PERIOD MANKIND will COME to their END. 🙏

@@jonashassel5404 feel cut off and had depression but I got tricked back into sins and world things in great deception and circle. I was not this way. I grieve the HOLY GHOST not meaning to or ASK my dad for help...
I am in a slow torturous brain damaging descent into insanity because of the med i took for sleep. I fully expect to be completetely psuchotic and pray i go home before then
What medication was it?
Yes medication also has led me there. Zoloft, Prozac, Lexapro, Seroquel, and many others I was made to take by doctors and family. People think these awful meds will heal you. No they don't, instead they cause brain damage. I cant sleep, I wake up in full terror every 20 minutes, I already am experiencing psychosis and its unbearable. I cant understand why God allows it.
A well done sermon on this very controversial topic. But I would like to add something that I felt was missing. Mental illness is sometimes a symptom of other diseases or changes going on in the body. Many years ago I ended up in the ER (I did not try to commit suicide, and didn't even think about suicide, but I felt very strongly that I could not make it through another day). I was diagnosed with major depression. My psychiatrist told me that my depression came from hormonal changes, and that when some women enter into menopause, they also end up with depression (sometimes it's permanent and sometimes it can go away eventually). I was not even menopausal at the time, but one month later I stopped menstruating and became menopausal. Sadly, I'm one of the ones where it is permanent but the Lord has helped me to manage it all these years, maybe so I can inform people about it, which I do when I get the opportunity. Also depression is a symptom of a number of illnesses, including fibromyalgia, which I also have been diagnosed with. Also my cells are inflamed, and those cells are in my brain as well. Also a young woman from our church had her thyroid removed because of cancer. A few years later she had a baby and became severely depressed. Her doctor adjusted her thyroid medication, which had altered due to the pregnancy, and her depression vanished. So there are other causes to depression that I never see mentioned on topics about mental illness.
It is also genetic.
Bc religious bigots think they know everything and don't respect science...
is something imposible for Jesus? even if it is genetic. even if its not demons. Jesus can cure it all.
Thank you for your insight. The brain is a complex organ, and it can be subject to organic imbalance just like the pancreas, the heart, or the liver. It can be influenced by other body systems like the digestive, neurological, and endocrine/hormone systems, just as you described in your examples. As little as we understand about the brain, there are likely a large percentage of people with chronic mental-illness whose cure hasn't even been discovered yet.
Church people, like Job's friends, are sometimes quick to give trite, simplistic answers to the mentally ill and to belittle their faith. "Health and Wealth" and "Name It and Claim It" people can be the worst. Undoubtedly there are mentally-ill believers who have suicided themselves because of such false doctrine and terrible counsel.
Reading gods word and praying and meditation with god has helped me get through my depression still very hard please don't give up our god is faithful
Thank you for this. I’ve recently had a months long flare up of seasonal affective disorder. I also have classic anxiety and depression. Not only those, but I also have episodes that can be called C-PTSD. Interestingly, the worst hit after taking part in a charismatic church service that overstimulated me. I realized there is no shame in increasing my meds. They are a means of healing. Without them I would be in very bad shape.
Maybe you're better off in a high church type of formal liturgy that is always calm and more calming. Catholic Mass is nice that way and there are liturgies very similar to that on the protestant side as well. As for me, a Christian is a Christian and let us love another, and strive to be united even w/ our doctrinal differences.
I know what you went threw . And sorry to hear it. I pray that more meds help you. And that you find peice. In Jesus name., 🙏
I'm commenting this to show God even in my doubt and fear. I'm trying to have faith.
Dear Lord,
Please help those who are considering suicide!
If we just understand that if we loved one another, we would be so much happier. But why did God make people egoistic, selfish, and greedy? John Lennon said 'all we need is love'.
God didn't make them like that though, the devil did or they did themselves
I hope he helps us all. Jesus please heal us.
I think the devil or demons triggered me to get rid of most of my precious possessions and I am now deeply traumatised and even suicidal
Mental illness and depression are iffy topics for me. Often I question whether or not the mentally ill or even the depressed ever had a chance. Some people go through things that are so painful that it's impossible for the human mind not to break. I have to at least entertain the notion some people never had chance. Some were born to normal families but they mind was so ravaged by mental illness they were unfeeling, sadistic monsters without a conscience as in the case of many serial killers and mental asylum patients. It's not unlike how diseases such as rabies makes animals dangerously violent and unpredictable. People can even suffer from depression when they have absolutely nothing to be depressed about after hereditarily inheriting the disease from their parents. In the end, I try my best to trust his perfect judgement. He's nothing if not fair and honest.
what you just described is why the idea of Hell to me does not make sense. So many people are who they are because of bad genes or a bad environment.
Yes to suffer so much in this world to be given more punishment for being ill doesn’t seem too fair to be honest
I can honestly say, all the lost sense I felt vanished like a vapour as soon as I began studying his holy Word everyday. If you are slipping, when you feel it, open up Scripture. If you are in Scripture everyday on any measure, it seems to block those horrible lies that are just more of Satan's handiwork.
I want u all to get better and happy
Me too
Same but...
Saying it isn't exactly helping
I surrender all the pain, the darkness, the grief and the self judgement.
I am ready to have it all transmuted to joy, comfort, bliss, miracles,
magic, beauty, happiness, and strength, and aliveness...
Magic is demonic. You don’t want that.
THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "is a great last age (age of the word) that He will save man so accept the new and last work by done the Lord Jesus Christ"
"The Millennial Kingdom has Come" . ... (Everyone on Earth will celebrate the Word of God. God will use words that will conquer the universe. The descent of New Jerusalem from heaven is the coming of the words of God that will live with man, that will guide every action of man, and all of his whole will-inner thoughts. His words will be on earth for a thousand years, and they will reveal all His works, and complete all His works on earth, after this period mankind will come to their end.)
Almighty God said
GOD'S WORDS will SPREAD in UNNUMBERED HOMES, THESE WILL BE KNOWN by EVERYONE, and THIS IS the ONLY WAY His WORK will SPREAD in the UNIVERSE. ☀️
THAT MEANS, IF GOD'S WORK IS TO BE SPREADED THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE, THEN HIS WORDS MUST BE SPREADED. ☀️
In the day of God's glory, God's words will show their power and authority. Every one of His words from time immemorial until now will be fulfilled and come true. IN THIS WAY, GLORY WILL BE GONE--TO GOD ON EARTH---WHICH MEANS, HIS WORDS WILL RULE ON EARTH. 🙏
All the wicked will be punished by the words of God in the mouth of God, all the good will be blessed by the words in His mouth, and all will be established and completed by the words in His mouth.
Nor will He show any signs or wonders; everything will be fulfilled by His words, and His words will bring forth truths.💐
EVERYONE on EARTH will CELEBRATE the WORD of GOD, be it OLD or CHILDREN, MEN, WOMEN, OLD, or CHILDREN, ALL PEOPLE WILL SUBJECT to the WORDS of GOD. The words of God will appear as flesh, and will appear vivid and lifelike to the people of the earth. THIS IS THE MEANING OF THE WORD BECOMING FLESH. GOD CAME TO EARTH MAINLY TO FULFILL THAT TRUTH "the Word became flesh," which means, HE CAME SO HIS WORDS WOULD COME IN THE FLESH (not like in the time of Moses in the Old Testament, when God spoke directly from heaven). 🙏
After that, EVERY ONE OF HIS WORDS WILL BE FULFILLED IN THE AGE OF THE MILLENNIUM KINGDOM, they will become reality visible to human eyes, and people will see them with their own eyes without the slightest difference. This is the highest meaning of God's incarnation.
WHICH MEANS, the WORK of the SPIRIT is FULFILLED THROUGH the FLESH, and THROUGH WORDS.
THIS IS THE REAL MEANING OF "the Word became flesh" and "the manifestation of the Word in flesh."
ONLY GOD CAN SPEAK the WILL of the SPIRIT, and ONLY GOD in the FLESH CAN SPEAK on BEHALF of the SPIRIT; the WORDS of GOD are MADE PLAIN in the FLESH of GOD, and EVERYTHING is GUIDED BY IT. ⚘️🌹
No one is not covered, they all exist within its scope. Only from these utterances can people understand; those who cannot understand this are dreaming if they think they will understand these words they think they will understand these words in heaven.
Such is the authority manifested in the flesh of God: that makes all believe. EVEN the MOST RESPECTED EXPERTS and RELIGIOUS PASTORS CANNOT UTTER these WORDS.
They must believe the word, and no one can make a new beginning. GOD will USE WORDS that WILL CONQUER the UNIVERSE. He WILL DO this NOT with His FLESH, but with UTTERANCES from the MOUTH of GOD who BECAME FLESH to CONQUER ALL PEOPLE in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE; ONLY this is the WORD MADE FLESH, and this ONLY is the APPEARANCE of the WORD in the FLESH. 🙏
Perhaps, to people, it seems that God has not done everything completely----but GOD must FIRST SPEAK His WORDS so that PEOPLE can FULLY BELIEVE, and for them to be COMPLETELY IMPRESSED.
In the absurd, people shout and wait; at the word of God, they are silent. God will certainly achieve this truth, because this is God's long-term plan: fulfilling the truth of the coming of the Word to earth.
In FACT, there is NO NEED for Me to EXPLAIN---the COMING of the MILLENNIUM KINGDOM on EARTH is the COMING of GOD'S WORDS on EARTH. 🙏
The DESCENT of the NEW JERUSALEM from HEAVEN is the COMING of the WORDS of GOD that will LIVE with MAN, that WILL GUIDE EVERY ACTION of MAN, and ALL of HIS WHOLE WILL--INNER THOUGHTS. ☀️🙏
THIS is ALSO the TRUTH that GOD is REALIZING, and the WONDERFUL SIGHT of the MILLENNIAL KINGDOM. ☀️
THIS IS GOD'S PLAN:
His WORDS will be on EARTH for a THOUSAND YEARS, and they will REVEAL ALL His WORKS, and COMPLETE ALL His WORKS on EARTH, AFTER this PERIOD MANKIND will COME to their END. 🙏

Hit me so hard where I've had thoughts and came close to suicide, by driving my car and hitting a wall. I don't have the power to do it. I'm too scared to die. I fear a lot of things though.
31:08 "I want my life my way without God. That is what sends you to hell" Very good words.
Thank you for this sermon. Any local church I've been to never understood bi-polor. My Dad (passed away) sister and son are bi-polor. My problem is chronic pain. Local churches I've been to don't understand that either, or care. If I wasn't 67, and could go back, I would have ministerd to people in pain.
I hate antipsychotic pills
I just feel guilty because God blessed me with a good job right out of college but turns out the job makes me miserable and brings out the worst in me. It’s helped me grow and has brought me closer to him but I am severely depressed. I feel horrible for not loving the gift he has gave me and it makes me feel even worse. Has this happened to anyone else?
Yes! Staying in a toxic environment or forcing yourself to be somewhere that depresses you only makes it worse.
I feel like he’s kind of contradicting himself here a little, at first he said that if you’re a true Christian you don’t need medications , just surrender your whole self to God, then he says God uses different means like medications to cure people. I think he should say that God uses different means to cure different people, some people get healed by just letting go and letting God trusting their whole life in Jesus. Some of us tho GOD I guess want to test our faith, like he did some characters of the Bible that even thought about suicide. The point is don’t give up! He never puts us through something we can’t handle. Stay firm in our faith, I strongly believe that HE has a purpose for everything and that’s where our hope should come from.
Many Christians are unaware of the blessings and freeing power of deliverance, which Jesus Himself taught and did in the Bible. Watch an example of a deliverance prayer for mental illness: ua-cam.com/video/sz9ZQWRBdbE/v-deo.html If you experience coughing, yawning, burping, or any kind of physical reaction, that means spirits are leaving. God bless! :)
If he doesn't put us through anything we cant handle then how come there are so many fucked up people in the world?
@@katerinaballerina9788 he doesn't put us through anything. We put ourselves through it, others put us through it etc. Our ignorance of His will is a biggie. I'm not suggesting depression is anyone's fault. I not even speaking on depression or any illness. I'm speaking about any hardship brought our way by "Natural " means. God doesn't do that. He may allow certain things for whatever reason. But he doesn't do anything to anyone.
I guess gods grace isn't over me since I'm this sick? And not getting well
Dear one, Jesus says to keep our mind on heavenly things. Some ppl are in wheelchairs from birth. Jesus said, “ in this WORLD you will have trial and tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
If I had SMI for 43 years, you can endure. Support is the best thing I did for my illness. Bipolar. Sometimes acceptance brings peace. God bless you❤
Thank you for this. I will be reading my bible more to get to finally know Christ.
Could someone post a link to the sermon series about HEALING that he referenced in this talk? I looked for it on this church's YT page, but couldn't find it. Thanks!
I want to go from here. Praying for my departure. I cant take it.
36 yrs of mental torment still going on ,getting worse. Plz pray thay i leave in a few days and meet god amen.
Are you still here?
I wish this church was in my area it's hard for me to reach out and this is a wonderful pastor and church
Hi Jan! We have an online community that we would love you to join! It is for those who are not within driving distance of our campuses. lifegate.church/theloop
Please pray for me. This depressive episode has been a year + 1/2. It’s so incredibly painful to stay alive. It’s not that I hate myself or have nothing to live for … it’s the pain. I’ve begged God to come. I’ve asked for Jesus to give me a sign of hope. Nothing! Silence! Why would he make me this way to only suffer. I don’t know how much longer I’m gonna make it. I’m getting treatment, been to hospital, talk therapy, nothing is working. Please pray for me🙏🏼
Have virtually the same experience as you 😢 it’s hard to have faith when you’re constantly met with silence, nothingness I’m at the point of contemplating leaving for good and sod everything!
Hi, I am sorry for your pain! I have been there and it got better. Don't give up hope! If possible I would recommend you to live in a Monastery for some time, probably Orthodox. Share the daily schedule, visit every Service, little bit of work, probably confession ... Take care!
Believe and Receive. Do not believe satans lies. You are strong, capable and worthy. Believe That. In Jesus' name I pray for you to see the Truth without doubt. Amen.
Hey I could use one of those prayer still.
Chronically ill and get worse with each dr, suffering so bad all around can't take meds to get relief not ok this has wrecked me mentally as well as abuse and betrayal and gaslighting from spouse who left me sick family and drs I don't know how to connect to God like this struggling with faith and belief now
🙏🙌praise be to god for this sermon!! god bless you pastor!! I've suffered with panick disorder, meds, tremors, dread and stomach issues for years feeling guilty for being sick, feeling dread because I felt like I sinned greatly and that's why I'm sick, and yes hearing from others that my faith is not strong enough. a horrible struggle. you've brought such comfort and meaning with this sermon. may god our father bless you, your family and your ministry. I have peace now..🙏thank you jesus!!
I’m a new Christian and I thought I would get to a point in my journey where I could get past my childhood but it keeps coming back... full force and crippling. Why am I still like this? Does it ever stop or is this journey just a never ending cycle of hurting... then finding God for a little bit and then falling down that hole again.
P++
Famida it only stops if your heart stops. I met a christian teenager she has the same problems I have. We could have gone and help others with the same problem but no she gave the same BS line nothing is worth taking your life for. Lol we could have gotten enough people in a big group to make suicide assistance legal down here in Florida. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you that god only does for the ones he favors if you want to keep fighting more power to you, as for me im done and im sorry that I went to god for help to begin with.
@@mattjacobson3616i don't blame u matt. You're right.
Thank you so much for sharing with me this video.
All illnesses (emotional, mental, physical) will be cured, as promised in Isaiah 33:24:
"And no resident will say: “I am sick.” The people dwelling in the land will be pardoned for their error."
And in Isaiah 35:5 and 6:
"At that time the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped. At that time the lame will leap like the deer, and the tongue of the speechless will shout for joy."
But, there are much more good things to come... Think about it!
Because it's your choice, I understand the pain
God is faithful!! He comforts us when we cry out to him. He will not give us what we can’t handle, but what we don’t WANT to handle. It may be the darkest time of our life, but that’s when we are to lean on Him, let His light guide us, and never cease. I’ve had suicidal thoughts many times in the last 6 months. I even had those thoughts this very morning. But by the Lord’s grace, I will continue to trust and have faith in His finished work on the cross. My God is almighty, and never shall the enemy gain victory over Him. (In fact, the enemy has already lost.)
I can rest in assurance that one day, maybe not too far from now, all things will be made right by Him, and true Justice will prevail over all evil that ever was, is, and will ever be. In this we have something to look forward to, in this we can look out at a fallen and dying world that’s too sick and broken to know they’re sick and broken; and still find peace, joy, and love to praise him for.
He has clothed us, sheltered us, and fed and watered us our whole lives. We owe it all to him, and we have nothing to give Him but our love, praise, and obedience. And even then, we still have nothing to give Him, as He is the giver of life. All creation was made by Him. We owe GOD our everything!
So today, I choose to praise him in the midst of my sorrows, I choose to love him through all of my pain, I choose to obey him as though there’s no tomorrow, and I will abide in him as long as it’s called “today”.
God watches and waits, then does nothing. Kids still suffer and die, as do innocent adults and animals. Life is a bloodbath. Still god does nothing - he doesn't heal, either physically, emotionally or in any other way. I've yet to see even a semblance of healing by God. He's either incapable or he doesn't have any desire to heal. His words are a set-up to continuing disappointment. He Doesn't heal and he never has. Sad, but true
Only the chosen ones are healed. Rest of us are like trash to him.
I sin but I don’t know if GOD FORGIVE me I have schizophrenia my mom have it but I don’t think of suicidal
Jesus cured my mental issues more than once in my life. Faith and prayer work. Jesus helped me more than any man or doctor could. Praise the Lord. God is good and the ultimate healer! Like others have mentioned you need to seek the help of the Lord and praise him.
Can you elaborate? How did God heal you?
@@celestin777 Depression
Regular meds are fine. Pain meds are fine. But taking antidepressants and antipsychotic just makes it worse when the effect wears off. Same with sleeping pills. Its just... scary.
I can't make the demons that are tormenting me over my childhood stop. please advise me on how I make them stop so I can move on from 35 years ago.
I am desperate and at the end of what I can handle.
Jesus Saves Not okay.
I'm tired. I have tried for forty years to overcome.
I can't think of a single person who would not be better off without me.
Jesus Saves Well to make a long story short.. I was repeatedly raped and abandoned as a six-ten year old.
when I was 12..I was so messed up that they sent me away. I lived in a state run mental hospital for 21 months.
That place was a pit of evil vipers having complete control over us children.
My mind fractured.
many years ago I was diagnosed with multiple personalities. that occurred because my young mind could not handle what was happening.
It has ultimately allowed me to destroy my own life by looking over my shoulder constantly and never knowing trust.
My wife.. she needs a capable man and I haven't been that for a long time.
I have no path forward.
Burt Gummer read “the power of now” by Eckhart Tolle , it’s an amazing book , it speaks truth 100%. I understand your pain even tho i haven’t gone through so much like you in life , my anxiety has being so intense that i also felt like I didn’t want to live anymore but I’ve had spiritual experiences and I believe in God 100% there were some things that I still didn’t understand and I didn’t understand why if had all my faith in Jesus willing to do anything for him to take this anxiety away and when I say anxiety I mean like I couldn’t live/breath anymore I knew the devil wanted me to be weak and give up I always trusted God even tho there were days I felt like he didn’t listen or even had doubts, now I understand, we are NOT our minds! Read that book I told you by eckhart tolle it will change the way you see things but NEVER stop believing and trusting in our lord Jesus Christ is with us in our hearts specially the ones that suffer.
Burt look up Nelson Schuman deliverance on youtube and go through the prayers he is at the head of Restored to Freedom ministry he deals with people who have spirits that come into peoples lives from sexual abuse, trama etc. he has had great success. Hope you see this.

Some things I don't hear mentioned here (or did I miss it?). If you have ever been involved in the occult eg been to a fortune teller, séances, ouija board, read your horoscope. I suffered from years of depression starting from my teens when I got involved with this stuff.
Also forgive every single person who has hurt you. If mental illness is caused by demons, they will stay if we don't forgive. Sexual sin is another route (even just in our thoughts) when we confess sin, the demons no longer have any ground, they have to leave. This has been my experience. Ask the Lord to search your heart, I was surprised what was in my heart. I felt so awful, so depressed, so tormented, so unhappy I didn't recognize I had bitterness and unforgiveness.
Do you feel better now
@@robertsmyth4238 Yes, I immediately experienced a change after confessing my sin and bitterness. However sometimes demons will automatically leave, sometimes they have to be told to leave by someone who is praying with you.
@@deborahtruthwillsetyoufree4217 i took drugs before which caused me great anxiety this anxiety calmed but never eased but then depression and suicidal thoughts also developed afterwards as well as unwanted sexual thoughts. I turned to god at the peak of the suicidal and intrusive thoughts but I only pray a little. I was put on antidepressants 8 months ago and I’m still on them but I do still pray every night. I’ve got worse recently and I’m struggling. Is there any special prayers I should practice and should I fast? I want to get closer to god but my mind is full of doubt. Thanks for replying to me wishing you all the best
@@robertsmyth4238 Robert, I'm sorry to hear about what you are going through I can totally relate. When you say you turned to God, are you born again (this is very important). Jesus said the thief (satan) comes to steal, kill and destroy but I have come that you might have life and life more abundantly. When we have asked Christ into our life we belong to him and we have the holy spirit dwelling in us.. We are also given authority over demons, they are subject to the name of Jesus. I too have suffered severe depression and suicidal thoughts. I used to tell the demons to leave over and over again (in the name of Jesus) but the depression didn't lift until I started speaking out scripture. You see the devil filled my mind with condemnation (telling me I could not be forgiven because I had sinned too much) He would put evil thoughts in my mind then accuse me of being a bad person. It's very important to read your Bible everyday (start in the book of John) and write down all the scriptures that tell you what Jesus did for you on the cross. Satan takes advantage of our lack of knowledge of who we are in Christ. Once you realise that you are a much loved child of God, that Jesus has given you abundant life and made you more than a conqueror... you will then have the understanding and boldness to stand against spiritual attacks. I will post some scriptures for you in my next post.
@@robertsmyth4238 read Ephesians 6:10-17.
13 Therefore put on the full armor of God,so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place(we have right standing with God through Christ) , 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith,with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.17 Take the helmet of salvation (dont allow the devil to put lying thoughts into your mind) and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
If you are getting sexual thoughts, make sure you have confessed all sexual sin (even sexual fantasy as this also is sin).
Will post more tomorrow, got church in the morning)
Battling that same urge after the loss of my wife. In reality she should still be here but between My work insurance and the broken medical system in this country she wound up in hospice and decided she was too tired to keep fighting and asked hospice to help her let go. She was sick for 3 years and for those 3 years I was pretty much her nurse 24/7. I am wore out physically exhausted down to the very last cell in my body. I just want to go home. I don't want to talk to anybody I don't want medication I just want to go home. Yet after everything I have been through none of it is God's fault. God did not let me down human beings let me down. This life is not the ending it is only the beginning. There is so much more waiting for us out there, Life goes way beyond this rock that we're standing on. My advice would be don't misplace your blame It's human beings that have let you down not your Lord and Savior. Since my wife passed all the people that I thought were our friends have let me down, The only ones there for me now are my God and my dogs.
So my question is if you are mentally stable with bipolar / schitzsophrantic and take your life is there Mercy for forgiveness. My son committed suicide and I don't k ow if he talked to God and asked for forgiveness for what he was about to do. I worry of him being in Hell or if God took him. Signed very heartbroken mother.
yes there is Mercy for The mentally ill. Only lord Knows what your son was going thru when he committed Suicide But i know in my heart That Gods Mercy is Greater than all of OUR SINS. I hope your Son asked for forgiveness but i know that since God Foresees the Future and it showed that your son would accept God in his Life even tho he ended his life...then I could say with confidence he Resting with The Lord.
Hugs ❤
We are many
I'm sorry to hear about your loss and pain that you're going through. You can still Pray the Divine Mercy chaplet for your son, surrender him to God.
Rip❤
What series please !?!?!? I just found you and never heard you before but I want to hear that iseries
Well it's simple. Because it's not a flaw in the design it's a flaw in our environment. Neglect the kindest child and watch him them grow up with a toxic attachment style, anxiety and depression...is that God's fault? Or how about the abused woman or man, is it God's or the abuser's fault? The human mind is delicate and when given love and affection it can grow to its fullest potential. Of course I speaking on behalf of depression and $uicide. Just say hi and how are you it can save someone's life.
I'm a Christian and I think of suicide sometimes. That's just my reality
Hello I totally understand these issues as well: I have been dealing with depression and rage (saying a lot of awful things) towards God and Jesus, for not delivering me from emotional and mental problems. I don't understand either why we are left like this, but someday it has to be done away with as Gods word says it will be. I know that he loves us, even though we go through these things. As Jesus stated. "In this world you will have problems and trials," but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world!" To everyone here. DON"T GIVE UP!!!!
I really understand been there
What if you've tried fellowship, groups, meds, therapy and everything and none of it seems to work?
Travelling cats your not alone
Hugs
Sometimes we need ask the Lord if there is anyone that we need to forgive. I was really struggling with depression, confusion and torment, I felt I couldn't take another day of it. I asked the Lord, 'what is wrong with me' straight away the Lord showed me that I had bitterness in my heart. I was so negative, I was irritated with people, I found fault with everyone (that was the symptoms of bitterness) I asked the Lord to forgive me and remove the bitterness. That night in the middle of the night I let out a huge scream, it woke up my husband, both my sons came running into my room. That was a demon leaving, the spirit of bitterness. I felt so much better in the morning. I wasn't completely healed and have had to go back in my past and forgive people who have hurt me, this has made a difference. I have also had to repent of listening to satans lies, we must agree with God's word not the devil's lies. I am definitely on the road to complete healing.
Then you need to try what Jesus himself taught us to do in the Bible: deliverance, or casting out evil spirits. Listen to this deliverance prayer: ua-cam.com/video/sz9ZQWRBdbE/v-deo.html If you have any sort of physical reaction, like coughing, tightening of the throat, yawning, that means that spirits of mental illness are emerging. If you don't, then trying getting closer to Jesus and repent of any known sin. Then try again. God bless! :)
A I with all due respect those symptoms you mentioned doesn’t mean those are demonic manifestations cuz you can have a heart issues or thyroid issues... because I get tightness of the throat because of my hypothyroidism so I was confused why you would list those things. Also some people yawn because of certain sleeping disorders or medications
Organic food and what kind of exercise you could do. Sunlight . Gratitude. Prayers in thanks, sorry and ask God for a miracle. The nature God made and the wonderful people who love you and the wonders of the world including the architecture where you live, airplanes, and amazing scientists. Live in peace with you as a child of God
So you're denying that Jesus would heal mental illness in these latter days ? Is there anything He cannot or will not heal ? NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CHRIST.
"... rejectable,... ashamed,... afraid, you feel like you're not worth even living and you're not even as valuable as the breath that you breathe in"
As I lay in bed, this is incredibly accurate. I'm grateful for my husband and my daughter and most days I try my best to keep moving because God has blessed me and been so gracious. But these feelings and these thoughts accumulate and I just collapse eventually. And I'm in bed and can't move. And the guilt is overwhelming. I take the fact that I don't kill myself in these moments as a clear sign that God must still love me… even if He feels far. It's been years and years dealing with this but never has it been as frightening as when I became a mother and a wife. Somehow the fact that I can't hide this weakness makes me so afraid my family won't love me and will leave me. But I have faith that in the end I will be with my Saviour. And I just pray that you all will hold on and know you're not alone. I know it's hard. Beyond hard. But "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
Why hasnt GOd healed me?
I feel the same I'm sat on a mental health ward as we speak I think the same
mike Red rider I’m in and out of hosp too.
I am at church all the time. I adore God He’s my everything but I’m not healed either.

@@conniefahey6469 thanks I keep praying and hope for change
Genesis Ackermann so what about when you been doing that for 3 years? Are you serious?
Do you tell people in wheelchairs to repent and fast more.
Trust me someone who is mentally ill and tormented when they know Jesus they are constantly praying fasting repenting reading the word probably more then most.

Not sure that this video is really helpful for depression and suicidal thoughts.

Just said one for you brother. I hope your life has gotten easier these past 2 years since your comment
What to do when you're struggling with unbelief and doubts due to how severe your situation is now, dealing with complex PTSD trauma daily triggers can't get out of situation I'm in, chronic illness and suffering can't take meds medical trauma betrayal trauma PTSD induced by health issues and abuse, no safety, no support, nervous system is wrecked, not ok mentally physically spiritually, so sick, feel d word inside and spirit is crushed don't know how to trust God brain feels damaged at this point from all I've been and go thru, can't find help
Our Ability to Trust God and Trust Others Can Be Shaped By:
Our childhood upbringing
Our perception of God as a friend, provider, and Father
Our ability to safely rely on our parents
Our history with previous relationships/friendships
Past betrayals/deceptions
In certain instances God sends a person or angel to stop a suicide just at the right moment. Even without the person ever knowing they were sent. Especially when you have a big purpose and a lot of Earthly missions let to complete.
I wish I could say I have a good relationship with God but I don't. I find myself inconsistent during very rough times in my life, even if I maintained faith through adversity up to that boiling point. I've repented before and even grew up as a Christian but I've honestly just had it. I've kinda accepted if I did take my life, I would go to hell. Im not sending any messages to anyone nor do I want to just repent before that moment just before taking my life. I feel like that'd be...wrong and wanted reassurance that I won't suffer more than I am beyond death. I feel like sooner or later, it just may happen and I gotta accept the consequences for it. I just can't do this anymore.
Hello, we are sorry to hear you are feeling this way... Would you be willing to discuss it further if we got you connected with someone on our staff?
Hey brother, freshly 22 and in a very similar boat. Much love to you brotha and I am proud to be sharing this earth with you, another strong person with the will to fight through these struggles which in my opinion can be worse than physical aliment sometimes. Stay strong brother don’t give up and the rewards will be bountiful. I wish I could properly explain the emotions your comment made me feel. Because it seems I think very similarly to you in some ways. You have a good heart brother please stay strong. If you have nothing else you have your strength and will to fight for a better tomorrow. Imagine the thanks you will give to yourself after coming out the other side. It can be that way for us both brother so please stay strong and I will do my best to do the same through these times which for me have been the worst in my life so far, mental pain wise.
The Bible says so long as we truly want a relationship with god and truly are trying, his and our lord and savior Jesus Christs arms will be open wide waiting for us. God bless you brother and much love from this stranger here.
Accept Christ's FREE gift. You don't have to be OK to be saved. It's grace.
I am Bipolar disorder II is that really a demon????? It comes and Goes. I am on always on Meds when the Episodes Kicks in
From my experience, bipolar is not a demon. You can try deliverance but from my study and living it, it’s a disease. Remember you are a child of God, joint heir, chosen before the foundation of the earth. What helped me was support, exercise, nutrition and LOVE
Which series does he mean?
This series is called "God Hangups"
Did you ever think that it was god that made people ill in the first place? Why give god the credit but none of the blame?
@W 9797 True, but it doesn't answer the question.
Because there is no blame he does it because of how much he loves us and if you haven't quite come to an understanding of that perhaps I could recommend some theological sermons
@@sylentavngr5267 Not sure I understand. He gives us mental illness because he loves us?
oh sweetie I wish I had the answer to that.But I am sure he knows what he's doing
