HAUNTED BY MENTAL ILLNESS? IF IT IS NOT GHOSTS AND DEMONS, IT FEELS THAT EVEN TINY CHEMICAL IMBALANCES STORM IN YOU OR YOUR LOVED ONES MIND TO TRY TO KILL THEM OR OTHERS.
I know the feeling, from the inside as a former victim and former patient.
Here are some basic questions that I answer about myself and my own schizophrenia. I am a Christian, so my answers may relate to Christians more, but all are welcome to learn and benefit from my video.
Questions that I answer in the video:
1) Do you have schizophrenia?
2) What is it like?
3) What was one of your most embarrassing moments during an episode?
4) Do you take medication?
5) Are you AGAINST taking medication?
6) Do you see a psychiatrist?
7) Are you AGAINST psychiatrists
8) Do you believe you are possessed (possession)?
9) Do you believe in exorcisms?
Do you also struggle or know someone who struggles with schizophrenia? Share with me by commenting below.
Do you have questions or would like me to make a video on a certain topic, also let me know in the comments below.

Thank you so much for uploading this video. It helps so much for someone who's struggling with the same things as you. I was looking up "Christian with schizophrenia" (because I myself hear voices and they put me in so much fear about my salvation even though I love the Lord with all my heart). I found your videos and they lift me up that I'm not alone with this. God bless you

@@jenniferpinks8929 I've had many prayers for deliverance but I don't trust this charismatic way of exorcism, because demons are not to be played with and many times that person ended up worse than when they entered.

Most deliverance ministers don't have the level of faith and experience to handle schizophrenia. And yes, a bad or weak deliverance minister can make things A LOT worse. Same also can be said about some bad side effects of antipsychotics and medicines. I would recommend a deliverance minister that can take all the financial risks of paying for all the medical bills, hospital stays, and therapies of the patient they are trying to deliver in Jesus name. If you are lucky to find such a loving person that does deliverance, that risk taking means they can back up their words with experience and power. IT MUST NEVER FAIL. Otherwise, its safer to seek God in prayer and learn from other christian schizophrenics how to do mental first aid and cope and plan therapies and manage medicines along with prayers, fasting, and other spiritual remedies.

Hi Yasmin! I want you to know that if you believe that Jesus Christ died as payment for your sins, you have asked God to forgive you, and you believe that Jesus Christ will and has forgiven you, You ARE a Christian. The Bible says in John 3:16 For God so loved the World that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever (that includes you) believeth in Him (Jesus) should not perish but have everlasting life. If you believe in and put your faith in Jesus, you are a Christian and that will never change. Many Christians struggle with health issues and mental/emotional issues every day. These things happen to Christians too. I think you are brave to be so open. I can't explain why things happen the way they do, but this I know, that God loves you, chose you before the world began to be his Child forever. Your name is written in The Lambs book of life. Jesus holds you in his hand, and he will never let you go for any reason. It is my belief that God has a very special purpose for you because people who go through great struggles in this life, God usually has big plans for. Never forget that God is fighting for you. I am praying for you. May the God of all Mercy and Grace bless you, your family, and your ministry.

This video should be seen by many Christians! If you allow me and feel comfortable, I’d like to repost this video with portuguese subtitles. Schizophrenia is extremely stigmatized in the Christian community. There’s so much judgment and people saying that schizophrenics are possessed by the devil and they can’t reach out to Jesus. It’s honestly so sad. We live in a fallen world and mental illnesses exist! I’m glad you are firm with Jesus! Hope that you can live your life to the fullest and that u can continue helping others that experience the same condition as you. God bless you!!

Thank you so much Anthony, as a Christian and former mental health nurse, your video was excellent, you are honest & balanced, unfortunately medication is necessary in most cases I know, but the other things you do also matter, it is when people rely on medication alone that they become worse I believe or never progress. Also re “deliverance” I want to offer a biblical distinction to the issue, born again Christians, cannot be possessed, because they are the home (temple) of the Spirit, having said that, they can be troubled by the enemy via the “fiery darts” and when this condition is chronic, for whatever reason, it’s really disturbing and can be confused with possession. Of course, your voices really, disordered thoughts, may entirely be the organic mental illness which satan takes advantage of, here is where medication is appropriate. Please correct me if you think I am wrong, I will keep on listening to your experiences to learn more. I have a dear friend who I believe is showing signs of schizophrenia and I will get him to watch your videos at the appropriate time. “The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.”’ Numbers 6:24-26

Your message was highly appreciated. I word things differently to different audiences if I can, but for a video on RU-vid, I have to cater to the generic audience, so my terminology like "possesion" may not convey what I actually mean to thr christian audience. I know a Christian cannot be possessed.i agree with you on this. Feel free to share more. I welcome it.

Thank you so much for sharing with us. You are very brave to be so open. It sounds to me like you are working very hard and I'm very proud of you. God loves you and I can tell you something the Bible says, That you are beautifully and wonderfully made. I am praying for you and I know that God has a good plan for your life. If you are trusting in Jesus Christ for your salvation, you can not be possessed because the Spirit of God is inside you. I believe that you have a medical condition and that you are handling things very well. May God bless you and your family through Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Mary Ellen

Thank you for sharing. I have a family member with schizophrenia, but she refuses the meds. She hides from the police like her life depends on it, and reports hearing the worst "voices" (which she 100% believes are real). She says she's not Christian anymore, and she "plots" things that make no sense, like getting her "friends" cremated (while they are alive). I hardly know how to pray for her. I really wish people didn't think schizophrenia is a "doomed" diagnosis. You sound so accepting of the dx and it gives me some hope that she'll get medicated. One day.

@@rdiaol3448 She was strangled and beaten by a boyfriend (with BPD/psychosis; they met in a ward a few years ago) but she lived. The state is holding the boy without bail, but they need her to testify or he could go free. She intends to ignore the subpoena because she's scared of courts and police. I feel bad for them both (neither of them have their "wits"), but Church friends advised us (family members) to "let the chips fall where they may", and perhaps she'll be involuntarily committed. That sounds like an awful thing to hope for, but she doesn't have the ability to testify (likely to become psychotic in court; poor memory of the boyfriend after merely 2 months, or even why she was in the hospital). (The two of them destroyed the rental they were sharing, so our brother and dad is trying to fix it; most unfortunately, her puppy lost a leg during the "altercation". I hate to think of how that happened.) The courts don't seem to understand a thing about mental illnesses. Very sad.

We’ve got DID and let me tell you it’s sorta not a great combo to have this and also religion, like, God helped a lot, but at the same time it causes a lot of conflicting beliefs and such that makes us panic every so often, or distrust one another. It’s rough because some of us are very devout and the other will think it’s aliens or other and freak out the devout ones for blasphemy reasons, and we don’t know the state of our soul and salvation, like if some believe and others don’t then what? Do we all get doomed or just those ones? How would we know if a demon hides in here? It’s very difficult

Please pray for the devil to be removed from me forever. I keep getting attacks from the devil and keep hearing ‘roar, gr, muhaha’ in my mind. I prayed on a prayer website and they prayed for my illness away to be given away to the devil and now I don’t know how to remove the devil from me. Please pray that the devil is gone from me forever and removed/never comes back. It would mean the world to me if it is gone forever.

@AnthonyThomasLim
@AnthonyThomasLim 2 года назад
I have considered deliverance. I have had several sessions with different people experienced in the subject. I have improved a lot from the sessions. But for some reason, until recently, God didn't take all of it away. Kinda feels like Paul's thorn in the flesh moment. I have learned a lot of patience and compassion for people who don't get a quick fix from schizophrenia. It didn't always come quick for me. But I still hope and believe.

@@AnthonyThomasLim Deliverance isn't always miraculous in that it's once and done, many times it is a process depending on your condition. Also deliverance is pointless if you are going to continue and sin. You have to be ready to repent and surrender to God or they'll just return and bring friends.I know this is going to sound weird but its actually a blessing in disguise that you can see demons. Demons brought me to christianity, they are the only reason i got saved myself and i will see heaven. I was an atheist before I got attacked by demons. When i was 17 i seen and experience all kinds of demonic activities and it made me desperate for a savior. By the grace of God i had a thought, " If demons are real doesnt that mean God is real? One can't exist without the other" The fact i seen demons changed my eternal destiny! Now i pray that just because you haven't received your deliverance yet, you aren't losing faith that one day it will happen for you. Faith is what moves the hand of God. Most, if not all of the miracles in the bible happened because radical faith! Our very salvation it's self is depends on our faith. The only way you can get to heaven is if you believe in someone you have never seen before. John 20:29 "29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” We have to be like Jacob who wrestled with God for his blessings. Jacob said to God, " i won't go unless you bless me" Then God blessed him. I have a couple of resources to deliverance. Let me know if you wanna give it another shot?

Anthony, I really want to thank you for putting your experience out on RU-vid. Have you ever heard of Kat Kerr (you'll know who she is by the pink hair)? She is a self proclaimed prophet who has made statments that God visits her in her home all the time (visually) can laugh, yell about things, and she claims she has been taken up to Heaven thousands of time (part of the Heaven is made of jello, cows drive tractors, etc). She has multiple videos on RU-vid where she shares this experience of Heaven and how God talks to her. I would really appreciate your opinion about what she has to say and if maybe she could be suffering from Schizophrenia but is not diagnosed.
@AnthonyThomasLim
@AnthonyThomasLim 2 года назад
Hi, thanks for sharing. About Kat, I can't judge her negatively, because her visions and experiences are between her and God. If she has hurt people with lies or is in error, God will eventually correct her. I pray for her everyday, and that's helpful for her to be more accurate in her visions. Personally, I have to check with God myself about EVERYTHING other people say and even the things I HEAR AND SEE. Funny thing about schizophrenia, you second guess everything which can be helpful when dealing with falsehoods and deception. I personally have a scriptural way to check a spiritual word or vision. It is what the prophet Ezekial in the Bible experienced (Ezekial 3:26). If I hear God speaking I am unmuted, if it's not from God I am temporarily muted supernaturally. (Moses 4:11 also says God is in ultimate control of supernatural muteness). I have checked some of Kat's messages with that. She has some things that are true so she's not totally crazy.
