I appreciate your openness and honesty about your life. My father also had paranoid schizophrenia. I have battled depression for 21 years. Love and prayers, brother. 💜🙏
Yes!, it's good you shared this.🙂 Only good can come from knowing you better. I'm sure we all have aspects of ourselves we don't love for others to know about. At the end of the day, no matter what we struggle with, we are Saints and we'll soon be free of the baggage. 💖
@@davidbenjamininchrist lol. Good memory. Oh, my gosh, I hope I didn't sound rude! It's what I'm known for..decor. The first thing I do when entering a hotel room is straighten lampshades, adjust lighting, etc.. All in good humor.
Brother, I think we can all relate to what you are saying. Thank you for your transparency as always. I think that the enemy wants us to be as busy as possible all of the time so that we are not resting in God's grace and spending time with Him. The key is to strike the proper balance by the leading of the Holy Spirit :) love you brother :)
Brother Gregg and Brother David: AMEN and AMEN! Truly, it is the battlefield of the mind! YES, RESTING in Christ and striking the proper balance by the leading of the Holy Spirit is truly the key! God bless you both richly! In Jesus, Susan and Bill
Love your honesty brother. I still cringe and recoil at my mental and emotional problems. Probably because they cause so much chaos and confusion and I don't fully understand there origin or even how to treat them. At least you are aware of yours and can actually laught at them. I think mine are more blatantly negative, destructive and confounding but nevertheless I can relate to you. I found out my bioligical mother has severe mental illness also. Thanks for sharing these things. It helps knowing that I'm not the only christian who struggles with similar things.
Brother I know exactly what you mean the enemy will magnify a situation. I’ve had serious anxiety issues also and used to have to be on xanux. I still struggle with it today. His grace is sufficient AMEN 🙌🙌🙌
Yes, you did right in sharing this brother. 30 seconds in and Im hit by a "oh so im not alone in this?" I can relate to the paranoia more than I want to, the hypersensitivity, causing the fear of certain problems occuring to actually occur.. maan. I cant shake this obsessive self awareness which, seemingly stifles every effort. You put to words much of what I struggle/live with, and haven't really come to grips with. This was good. In need of prayers of Peace of mind. God bless you
My dad had this. I didnt find out he had this until recently (11 years after his death) I stopped being around him when I was 7 and he hid it well back than. He didnt start really showing others he had it until the end of his life. My mom has had depression my whole life which affected me in many ways...than my daughter was killed and all of a sudden I was diagnoised with full blown anxiety that turned into social anxiety as well. My grandmother struggled with paranoia...I guess you can say we all a little throwed off and thats okay. 😂😂😂 Your awsome Brother! My fiance is always talking about me ...he says dang, Amanda!!! When you get something in your head your just wide open on it and dont see anything else (that was his response when I started my walk with Jesus and been wide open ever sense😂😂😂
Aww...it's ok Brother David. What is important is that you are aware of it and you are dealing with it by trusting the Lord while going about the Father's business. The Lord will bless you in whatever situation you are in because you are leaning, trusting and receiving from Christ our SOURCE. What pours out from your life experiences, multitudes are being fed like the miracle of the 5 loaves and 2 fish. Your messages are being multiplied whether you know it or not. I pray when you reach the point of exhaustion that the Lord will lift you up unto Himself and hold you close to His bosom and comfort you. You have been a BLESSING in my life with your Bible studies, your music and just keeping it real on who you really are and what you have been through and what you are going through in your present life. It is because of Christ that we can TRULY say WE LOVE YOU and THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO.❤ Thank you for sharing. May the PEACE OF GOD, HIS BLESSED ASSURANCE BE WITH YOU. Amen. 🙌🏼
Thanks brother, I can relate. Your honesty is as refreshing as your teaching on Grace. I am frequently praying for the peace that passes understanding ... and reminding myself that the Lord is my Shepard, I shall not want. The way the Kingdom of Heaven works is an upside down paradox in comparison to this world. I'm praying for you and the family of God's Grace. And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 2 Corth 12:9
The mind is a fascinating thing isn't it. I'm in a down atm it's lasted for many months. Thanks for sharing, it's good to know others have their weird periods too. God Bless
Just realizing and being aware of these cycles you go through is half the battle😁😁 I may do a video explaining my 44 year walk through bipolar illness.
When you mentioned starting Genesis the other day, I thought to myself you must be the Energizer Bunny! I will desperately miss Pastor So-and-So while he's on hiatus, but you've given us a lot of fun material already. OR...maybe you could start a super secret Pastor So-and-So channel...lol. All funny business aside, you are helping the Body of Christ more than you realize. I have gained new perspective on many topics from your teachings. It is obvious to me the Holy Spirit has given you this gift! Take care! Hope we'll just be gathered together before too much longer :)

I remember you were one of the first people to comment on my channel and you comemented about my lampshade being crooked

nope i thought it was a great way to personalize things :)

Gregg Jackson yes Amen brother! This is so true bro Gregg!

Oh Mr. David, Pancake can relate! Sometimes I think someone is sneaking into my cage and eating all my food then I remember I hid it all 😂😂😂😂
Pancake! I tell you every day that nobody is stealing your food! It's all under your bedding where you put it! 😂

I like how honest you are. Glad you shared it because it truly shows where we are weak HE is strong ❤️
