I hope you find
encouragement listening to this. Share it with others whom you would like to
bless.
There is an epidemic in the Body of Christ when it comes to emotional and mental illness.
Do you love the Lord wholeheartedly, but you also have this issue?
There is hope. It may feel like you are without hope, but the enemy is a liar.
It is important to recognize
that prayer changes things. The Gospel impacts every
area of our lives. God can—and does at
times—supernaturally heal every kind of illness. He worked supernaturally in
my life. Yet, God often chooses to
do so through prayer, study, Christian fellowship, and medical intervention. I am not telling anyone to
stop their medication, but medicine is not the answer to everything. We live in an over medicated
world.
We need to treat sin and character
problems like sin and character problems—and illnesses like illness. It’s so important to know, no matter how desperate the despair, there is hope, and please do not give up.
Make sure you have a good
support system. If you don't have a support system, contact
me. You can contact me, even if you have a support system. barbara@womenatthewell8.com
Do you have a believing family
member who suffers from mental illness?
Educate yourself on the
specific problem and/or illness Learn some of the signs and symptoms. Please be sensitive to the
holy Spirit. Just because you can’t
understand it, does not mean it’s not real. Ask for a double dose of
patience. We know that when we ask
for patience, that usually means God moves things in a way that we must practice
patience - more trials. Our Lord is faithful to
heal, but it takes compassion and understanding. Ask the Lord to give you
understanding. And most of all, pray with him or her.
