I always wondered if my mental illness was also a spiritual attack. I was diagnosed with Schizoaffective bipolar type, and experienced similar symptoms as you mentioned. I wanted to share my testimony that Jesus healed me from my mental illness. I now have 3 years with no symptoms or medication 🙏🏼
Amen. The Lord led me to the Carnivore diet & that's how I've finally been healing. All fruits, veg & grains give me bipolar symptoms. We've been lied to our entire lives about fat & cholesterol. The system is Satanic & setup to keep us sick & dependent on meds for life. Doctors are indoctrinated. Look up Homestead How & Healing Humanity. God Bless. 🙏🏽
This is my 3rd attempt to comment this... RU-vid deletes my comments all the time due to censorship. Amen 🙏🏽 The Lord led me to Carnivore diet for healing. Fruit, veg & grains give me bipolar symptoms. We've been lied to our entire lives about fat & cholesterol. Doctors are indoctrinated to keep people return customers & on medications (pharmakeia), not getting to the root cause. It's a sick care industry. They barely get any training on nutrition. Research about the Carnivore diet. Dr. Chaffee, Dr. Berry, Dr. Shawn Baker, Dr. Kiltz, Homestead How & Healing Humanity all have great info on it. God Bless.
@CreateCompassionCC You are so right about the many ways He works. He healed me, too. He healed my body in 2019 and has been helping me fix my mind ever since. For anyone waiting for their miracle, these are the things I've learned: Sometimes His solutions don't happen all at once, and that can make them hard to see. Sometimes, He needs us to play a part in our own miracle, so if you're not getting an answer, you might need to learn to listen better. It had felt like He hadn't even heard me for many years, but finally, my miracle came! Never give up! He can restore you, no matter how dark your situation, no matter how little you have left. 🙏
My name is Melanie I'm from South Africa and I just wanted to encourage you to stay close to the Father and remember that the enemy is already defeated. You are amazing and courageous!!!
I was diagnosed with cptsd , borderline personality and bipolar it’s super hard right now . I’m not even sure myself what’s mental or warfare but I think the enemy makes what we have worse when we are under attack . I’m having mold changes several times a day from sad to hopeful to angry . I just can’t wait to be with Jesus . The two worse things for me is the hyper vigilance and feelings of rejection .
Just remember that it’s okay to feel our emotions and even feel like we just want to be with Jesus while knowing that He wants us here for now 🩷 reading the Bible helped me take every thought captive and learn which thoughts are true and which aren’t. Praying for you 🙏
@@CreateCompassionCC thank you sister yes reading the Bible helps me focus more on the Lord vs what I’m going through or feeling . Thank you for talking about your diagnoses it helped me not feel so alone as a Christian many believers do not share stuff like this .
I have been through all this. If you drink alcohol quit it don't consume it at all. When u wake up in the morning say your morning prayers and read your Bible. Then keep yourself busy with the things u have to do for the day.
Our father in heaven help this lady to discern what is happening help her to complete this trial and do not let her give up. All things are spiritual and though we suffer we will reign and we fight not against flesh but against spiritual wickedness in high places even in our own high places in the mind and heart can be hard to understand but show her love help her feel your peace and love
You suffering is absolutely helping me. I have never related to something so much. I'm bipolar also, and in a season of what feels like never-ending attacks. Thank you for making this!
This is my prayer, for wisdom and discernment. I don’t know if the depression is refinement and I’m to just endure or if it’s mental, chemical or hormonal and if His mercy is in medication. God bless you sis! Thank you for your humility and transparency!
I hope you're doing better now. I have schizophrenia, where I hear voices, it feels like spiritual warfare because its religious in nature. Hang in there!
What a wonderful video, it takes a lot to express what you have. Thanks 🙏 I just wish churches and pastors understood this stuff. Being around other people that expect me to be like them is draining. I can’t even find a home group that I can fit into, but by Gods grace and Love, being in God’s word everyday is like being wrapped in a warm blanket.
This is a rough one for me. I feel pushed to give up, so often. Once it's past, it feels obvious that it was spiritual warfare, but at the time it just feels dark. I'm sorry all of you are going through this, too. 🙏
I am so grateful that I found this video today. I know that I'm struggling with mental health aswell as spiritual warfare. But the worst part of all this that makes me feel extremely discouraged & hopeless, is when people say that we are the reason for our own spiritual warfare. And I'm thinking to myself, all I've been trying to get through each day just trying to survive, however that looks like. I don't know a perfect way to survive, without doing things that would possibly open doors to the enemy. It just all feels so debilitating.😭💔🙏
People who say we cause spiritual warfare as Christians often aren’t close enough to Jesus to realize that the enemy attacks what he’s afraid of. I learned after this video that the true warfare was the confusion. I thought nothing could help me but that was a lie from the enemy. The truth was that I was taking too low a dose of medication which ended up healing my insomnia. My bipolar mania, a health condition, was the cause of my insomnia and the enemy made me feel like the situation was too spiritual for doctors to fix it. I’ve made an updated video on this as well. I prayed for you & I hope you find rest soon. Confusion is from the enemy, clarity and purpose are from God. 🩷
I get the same confusion, asking is this warfare or my mental health. The one thing that helps sister i find is doing what your flesh hates to do, especially when depression seems to have taken over....is to praise, sing in the spirit Yes its hard to begin with but i find after 15 minutes or so the spirit overwhelms the flesh and i start to feel more hopeful and positive. I dont think it matters if its spiritual or mental, i think praise can turn our situations around. I know this can be really hard, and i say that as a 49 yo who has battled mental illness as far back as i can remember but it feels to me to be a real weapon for our battles sister. I just found your channel today, Todays been a struggle but theres comfort in knowing others struggle also.
Thank you for sharing. You have a beautiful spirit. I completely understand as I have been a believer since childhood and had treatment resistant depression for over 30 years, 2 time cancer survivor, many health and pain conditions. All of it makes me afraid that God is just disgusted with me and He won’t accept me. But, I don’t give up and I hang onto hope and my love for Jesus. I pray for your healing and that the Lord ministers to you in a powerful way. Bless you
I’ve been going through a deep depression since January. I want to be pulled out of it badly, and I’m starting to be, but very slowly. This is one of the worst depressions I’ve been in in a while. And ofc sadly no matter what I feel depressed but there will be months where it’s just unbearable. I keep praying to win this battle / warfare and to be pulled out of this depression. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this and I really hope you also receive all of the blessings God is giving you or preparing for you❤️ Thank You for sharing this with us! We’ve got this💪🏼🙏🏼
I KNOW! I hear you! I've been there ant the struggle is real. But God will not let this time go to waste!! You will be redeemed from this- if not in this life, my hope is for myself too that in the life after we will have no pain nor tears!!! God bless Sister! Greetings from Estonia. 🙏❤
Thank you for sharing. I got BPD and i lied to my therapist to get an all clean on the second opinion. Now my mom can finally "sleep well". God is always listening. I know. He is here always with us. But i feel inclined to grabb alcohol, to do SH and pray to not wake up again. As soon as i feel better and get through the tough time, i feel so happy and like he is closer then ever. I try to remember those moments when He feels so far away. Also, God is love. We exist because He loves us. And He will not let us go through things He thinks we cannot handle it. I offer it to Him. All my suffering. May it save many souls and bring people and myself closer to Him. ❤❤❤May God bless you, ❤❤❤ Love, your BPD Catholic sister in Christ
God is love yes!! 1 John is my favorite book in the entire Bible. We do exist because God loves us and it is our purpose (in the most simplified term) to love Him back 🩷🩷 said a prayer for you 🩷 I don’t drink alcohol at all anymore it made me feel so depressed
Thank u so much for ur video! U really hit the nail on the head whn u said tht even tho u pray to our Holy Lord every day, it feels as if He's not listening. Every single day, I pray tht our Father will help me overcome my road rage, my cussing, & my horrible anxiety. I'm a born agn believer!! I KNOW within my soul that He's always with us and tht He never dishes out more than we can handle. I'm trying to teach myself, along with praying, of course, to TRUST in the Lord. This is where we have to blindly trust the faith He's blessed us with. He knws wht He's doing. We r part of the chosen elect. He holds us in His hand. Even if we fall, He will STILL b holding us. The enemy loves to use our chemical imbalances against us. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! May God bless u and ur family. 🙏 ✝️🙏✝️
Sister, I understand how you feel. I've had to wrestle with discerning the spiritual from the natural, sleep, anxiety, depression, etc. Your transparency is commendable and as you continue to walk in the light you will be rewarded! Pray in faith and thank him and you will receive. Worship is like a battery that will give you life, recharging you. As you declare who God is and promises the enemy is being fought. Praise and thanksgiving will give peace. Put on the garment of praise against the spirit of heaviness, I know it can feel very hard to do these things when battling these emotional issues but you can start off doing it in a "religious" or robotic way but when you just do it from the heart like a child almost "psyching yourself out" and delighting yourself in the Lord in a relational way your faith will be able to increase where the feeling you desire will come upon you. It's like jogging, then you get confident to run, then you may end up tapping into the runner's high where endorphins are released and its like your body is on autopilot. Remember you can even ask God for a heart to do these things and He will grant it since it's in His will. If it's spiritual (or if you don't know but want to know) you can also take authority over any unclean spirits that may be causing your troubles (i.e. spirit of fear, heaviness, addiction, etc) since Christ has given us it as believers. He loves you, hears you, and has His eye upon you. Never cease to remember that our hope is eternal, living, and immeasurable, not only for the life to come but now! "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" 1 Peter 1:3 Hope this encourages you and any other brother or sister in Christ watching this ❤🔥
Hi, I like your comment. Where I missed it in the past was in believing that if healing didn’t happen immediately it was not going to happen. I’ve learned from experience that I have to keep resisting and rejecting every thought, feeling or desire that is contrary to God’s Word in the name of Jesus and NEVER STOP. I believe that we are in a spiritual (mental) war that is gradual and difficult rather than quick and easy.
@@Keyfer62 amen it’s a ongoing battle which for me has been difficult to come to grips with but the good thing is we’ve been given the word and the Holy Spirit to help us through and one day the battle will be over and glory that’ll be revealed in us will be way more than the suffering we faced in this life
I really need this right now, thank you for the brave honesty. I'm 'trans' female to male, Jesus delivered me with the truth of who I am, a daughter in Christ. I still look male cos I had a hysterectomy and mastectomy at such a young age so testosterone hormones will take some time to reverse mentally and physically... I tried cold turkey and it was hell and the LORD really spoke to me then about self judgement and regret... Fast forward a few yrs, was 'diagnosed' with BPD with psychotic symptoms (was news to me) and now currently going thru private diagnosis for ADHD as a female adult who looks like a man... I believe it the docs focused more on my mental health back then I may have been saved the pain of all this torment. All this to say I was searching for videos on 1 Corinthians 7:17-24 cos felt like Jesus really spoke to me tonight when listening audibly to my bible... And this video popped up!!! Thank u for listening and thank u for sharing. Please pray for me. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Love you all.
it's really hard.. and even though we know He is with us and that He is carrying us through, it still doesn't make it easier.. I feel like I have no joy and even if I do it is short and fleeting.. But "the joy of the Lord is my strength" Nehemiah 8:10, and I shall continue to praise Him and give Him thanks...
🤍🕊️🙏🥹 continue to pray 🤲 let go and let God! We have to go through certain tribulations. Don’t let it harden your heart and lead with love. I’m sorry this is occurring. I know it too well. Be mindful and conscious as to why these things are occurring. When you’re waking up at that time, pray and let God lead you to what scripture he wants to direct you to. There’s a lot going on globally. Have faith and stay strong sister. 🕊️🤍🙏
Girl, this is what I feel like I’ve never even been diagnosed with bipolar. I’ve only been diagnosed with OCD some dude like 10 years ago that I had BPD.
If you’re willing and able, I suggest going to a psychiatrist to find out if you have it or not. Understanding my disorder has led me to a lot of healing! 🩷 God had led me to healing in natural ways (meds, anxiety management, prayer) but I needed to understand what I was going through first. Prayers to you 💕
Yup, sweetheart I can really understand what you’re experiencing. I’d really like to talk to you about this problem. Yeah, the feeling of spacing out is very difficult to handle. Shoot I wanna connect with you strongly. I’m listening to your every word. 👍🙏💝anyone who doesn’t grasp this DO NOT criticize the person.
Earlier this year I went through sexual assault and have been battling mental illness, trauma, spiritual warfare, a sense of shattered identity. I seriously feel like I don't know who I am anymore and am constantly talking to God and fighting this darkness even though it's hard and overwhelming. Your video found me and shined some light in my life. I sincerely hope that your doing better and wish you the best in life. Also to anybody in the comments section going through you own battles I wish you all nothing but the best in life, may you all find happiness, may God always be with you, and may you all continue to fight for the light no matter what life brings.
I said a prayer for your healing 🩷 I’m so sorry you went through that. No words can express my sadness for you. All I can say is take as much time as you need to process everything & find healing. I am doing better now and have gratefully found the time to rest from what I was going through in this video. Sending love 🩷
@@CreateCompassionCC Thank you so much, and I’m truly glad to hear that you’re doing better. Don’t stop spreading light and God’s word, what you do is truly admirable. And thank you so much for praying for me I’m sincerely grateful. May God bless you always.☺️✝️🩷
I know how your feel because I wake up all the time after dreams and I have a lot of them. May God bless you for having the courage to share your message
Do not give up, you can do it! GOD LOVES YOU AND WANTS THE BEST FOR YOU! HE HAS WONDERFUL PLANS FOR YOU! PRAY TO GOD AND GIVE HIM YOUR BURDENS! HE CARES FOR YOU!!!
JESUS CHRIST PLEASE 🙏 HELP THIS YOUNG LADY OUT OF THIS MENTAL DISEASE THAT ATTACKS HER TOTAL LIFE & BODY AND BRAIN EVERYTHING THAT SHE’S DESPERATELY CALLING YOU FOR! I CAN RELATE WITH/TO HER! ♥️SENDING YOU MY LOVE & GOD’S L♥️VE TOO! This is my prayer for you sweetheart. Wish I had your name & could call out to you. 🤝I’M HOLDING YOUR HAND! Not literally but figuratively!
God bless you. Thank you for sharing, that is so brave and kind of you to do it so you can also help others. It is so important for us to be open and share these things we are going through so they can be brought into the LIGHT! The kingdom of darkness is trembling when we do this, come on girl. You got this!!
Thank you! This entire channel is basically a documentation of my faith journey & slow healing process with mental illness (and Jesus!). I’m doing much better now mentally but I attribute that to God. I am on the right meds now too 🩷
The rape of my soul is ceaseless and impossible to run from, it goes with me everywhere. I am trapped in hell Aching and dying for Bryan and the illusions he provided. I could weep and wail forever and ever for how much I ache for him and miss the fantasy we shared.
I do feel the same as you ,you feel its hell. Your therapy and meds are not working wright I have Mental illness to ,when i am not on med i dont even fonction right,but when i am on meds i don t feel joy It very hard to have joyb,i do need to pray a lot i need to be more with God and have a relationship with him Thanks my sister in Christ i agree i love what you sayed Amen
I later learned that it was lack of medication that was causing the insomnia. However, it was spiritual warfare that convinced me I was helpless, that only God could heal me (when in fact I needed to be better medicated for my mental illness). Sending love to you! There are seasons for joy and seasons where we go through hardship. God wants us to feel what we need to feel. There is no requirement in the Bible that says we have to always be happy. We can simultaneously possess the joy of Christ and not be emotionally joyful. That joy doesn’t always override our emotions. Your lack of happiness/joy doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with your relationship with Christ. Even Jesus suffered and wasn’t happy 24/7. Sometimes we need to share in the sufferings of Christ. The Bible often talks about that as well. 🩷
Hello beautiful soul. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Much appreciated. I'm so happy that you are a soldier of the Almighty God. Please know that he will see you through because of the faith you have in Him. One thing I can tell you that deliver me from serious spiritual attacks is, incorporating the word of God in my prays. He said in Isaiah 43:26 Put me in remembrance. Psalms 91 and 35 has really touched my soul and by constantly staying in these scriptures He gave me deliverance. Please remember His word is our sword. Hebrews 4:12 'For the word of God is quick, and powerful and sharper than any two edged sword........" Healing is here for you in Christ Jesus. "He has given you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy : and nothing shall by any means hurt you " Luke 10:19. Keep declaring and decreeing the Word of God over your life and watch God move in your life.
Girl.. you are like sooooo brave for doing this I’ve been where you were at the time you filmed this video. Severe lack of sleep (2 to 3 hours every 2 days), anxiety at an extreme level, depression, hopelessness, intrusive thoughts, paranoid beliefs, being diagnosed first with acute psychosis, schizophrenia, borderline disorder, then bipolar disorder.. and facing all that I thought that Jesus gave up on me… and still nowadays, I can’t help but thinking that he doesn’t look at me no more. I know it is a sin, but I am in such despair rn 😔 I would never have had the strength to talk to strangers on the internet the way you did. It kinda helped seeing that some others have been through similar paths, thank you so much 🩷 bless you 🩷
Feeling despair is not a sin. So many people express it in the Bible. 🩷 I said a prayer for you & I know how hard it is to lose sleep like that. I later learned that I needed more of my antipsychotic medication to help me. Turns out it bipolar mania the whole time. Sending love 🩷
It does seem everyone is going through something now a days different since the pandemic but remember to thank the Lord through it all he is our helper, im glad to know im not the only one struggling, but it will be okay
I pray you have been well 🙏🏾 im going through this currently. When I wake up in the night I start reading the Bible until I get tired and am able to get more rest. I pray for your continued healing 🩷
The term "Cosmos" in The Divine Principle refers to the reality where we are living, which has an invisible spiritual dimension and a visible material universe, altogether. So it's not one or the other, it is both things: spiritual warfare and mental illness are like the two sides of the same coin. The two aspects interrelate and feed each other, so maybe we can wisely use different tools to overcome this battle, knowing that the material world is the result and the world of spirit is the cause. Surely, there is still a lot we can learn in the field of mental health and the interaction between the spiritual and the physical dimensions. To me, this turmoil of mental health issues and the prevalence of war and conflict in a world with many real threats on the global level, is a sign that The Tribulation announced in Revelation is already here, as Dr Young Oon Kim explained in her book "The Divine Principle and its Application."
This is what I was wondering if I’m honest. My life path seems to be a spiritual one and I’ve had to deal with something like this and without access to a lot of resources. I got through it pretty quickly because I was so disciplined by keeping my body healthy; that worked to help balance my mental and emotional instability. It honestly felt like a power dynamic using energy and was really uncomfortable. One night I was going to bed and I woke up in the middle of the night with pain in my heart and then flashes of an evil man laughing. It was quite scary but I always kept myself ‘big’ in the face of all that. Speak with good in your heart and powerfully and it’ll be disturbing enough for whatever evil comes through.
Hey read psalm 51, 91,23 Isaiah 41:10 , 1 Peter 5:7 1 Peter 5:8 stay in prayer and be intimate with God through Jesus allow the word to comfort and guide you his word is true
And here’s encouragement if your struggling with anything else beside that ❤ For those with anxiety, paranoia or experiencing a panic attack or traumatic experience or mental health The key to being mentally strong is to realize that our strength does not come from within us, it comes from God. “The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my strength in whom I will trust…” (Ps. 18:2). No matter what happens, put your faith in God and trust that He will take care of you. #mentalhealth Matthew 11:28 New International Version 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Isaiah 41:10 New International Version 10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 (NIV) I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Proverbs 3:5-6 New International Version 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.[a] Isaiah 43:18-19 New International Version (NIV) “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. 1 Peter 5:7 New International Version 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Philippians 4:19 King James Version 19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 New International Version 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 1 Peter 5:6-7: Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. John 14:27: Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 2 Timothy 1:7: For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. Psalm 55:22: Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved. Hebrews 13:6: So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” Joshua 1:9: Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Matthew 6:34: “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. You are not alone Child you are not alone God is always there and forgives you when you come to true repentance if he don’t remember it no more neither should you✨ he will help you move on and even forget , keep praying and remember make God your refuge because he is your safe place he is a refuge to those who trust in him I love you but Jesus loves you more
Im struggling too but i can't cry like you can im feeling frozen instead and cut off from real feelings but i do get lots of fear. Overwhelmed this morning with fear havent even gotten out of bed its almost noon. Please pray for me im stressed and unsure of how to deal with this for so long
I'm sorry u feel and going through what you are , it will be okay, have you spoke to a doc ? Maybe get some med for anxiety ? As as well , I take antianxiety med to help some , you are not a bad person if you take a med to help you either , take one day at a time , so many are stressed out anxiety and so on , you are not alone , try to do one thing a day if you can , and keep praying, and know it will be okay chin up , start thanking God , I hope this helps you today ,
I’ll pray for you 🩷 I used to struggle in the morning as well. I felt paralyzed with anxiety. I’m sorry you’re going through this right now. Be gentle with yourself and go at a pace that works for you. I know my medication helped me a lot when I was going through this.
I’ve had bipolar ADD and ASC and along with this has been extreme tired episodes, and weight gain, which is the worst thing for me that makes me really depressed. I have a friend who always says is spiritual warfare. I know that can happen, but I know the difference I don’t know the spiritual stuff not working and like my meds aren’t workingand I keep going on and off, and I asked the Lord to heal me
You might need to try different medication. I was on one for years that I thought was helping but really wasn’t. Tell your dr that you want something that doesn’t cause weight gain. Sometimes labeling things as spiritual warfare means we don’t seek out the health options we need. Keep praying & God will lead you into the right treatment 🩷
Sometimes, the Lord will use different believers from around the world and they will start going through things without understanding specifically why? It is because they need to intercede and pray for your brothers and sisters in the faith, because they are going through it. Other times, it is Satan hitting you where it hurts the most, because he doesn't fight fair and knows all of your weaknesses. He goes for the low-blows and hits you relentlessly with his flaming arrows of pervasive thoughts. Reading your bible, praying and spending time with God is important during these times. The most important thing to do during these times is surrender. Casting all your cares on the Lord. Forgiving people and yourself is also important, if you haven't already, be sure to do so. It helps. To say the least. God bless and may peace be with you.
Thank you for your message 🩷 I actually learned since creating this video that it was both mental illness AND spiritual warfare causing my struggles. I talk about it in a few of my recent videos. It’s insane to see how much has happened spiritually since I made this video. God bless you too!
What do you do with Christians who tell you to just rejoice in the Lord, be grateful, and stop being so self-centered while you're trying to find connections with healthy people by being honest about your pain?
One of the things I’ve talked about a lot on this channel, specifically in videos in the last 6 months, is that we’re not expected by God to always be happy. Even Jesus suffered and the Bible says we are to share in the sufferings of Christ, we will have trouble in this world, and we must be aim to be like Jesus. I think the verse that talks about always rejoicing is often misinterpreted. It talks about a state of being, not an emotional state (I’ve prayed on this a ton and the Spirit has guided me into this wisdom). We can have a heart that is always grateful/rejoicing but still feel upset, angry, depressed sometimes, etc. because they’re not mutually exclusive. Sadness can exist even when we’re grateful. I also learned this from experience, being so very grateful to have Jesus and His love while also suffering very harshly. The posture of our hearts can be joyful and full of gratitude while we still experience a full range of emotions (which God designed us to have). God wants authenticity, He doesn’t expect us to “perform” and always be happy. When we feel sad, He wants us to question why and ask Him how our emotions relate to His sufferings. We will never truly know God if we don’t go through hard seasons, and knowing Jesus personally is the greatest gift. In the book of Job, Job never doubts God’s goodness or will but seeks to understand why he’s experiencing such pain. In the process, he expresses his brokenness by cutting himself with a piece of pottery and lamenting over being born (I do not condone self harm at all but I think this is a good example of raw suffering). I think a lot of churches tell people that their faith in God can become a solution to all their problems because they want to bring people in and showcase the goodness of God. Yet, when their church members start to go through hardships, they fall away because the false gospel that “only good things will happen with God” is proved incorrect. God is not a genie. He is Love. He promises us HIS good, pleasing, and perfect will, not OUR will. And He promises an eternity in His love through Jesus. Until then, we live in an imperfect world where the enemy, sin, and death all exist. Like I’ve said in a video before, God doesn’t always heal us, but He gives us the strength to endure. 🩷🩷
Hey I am also Bipolar and a devote Christian. I have rare manic episodes but when the agitation arrives it interferes with my ability to bond with professionals: traffic stops etc. Fortunately I realize the secret to my success is giving myself self-direction so I am founding a company.
Telling the story of my life, Sister. Have just read John 9- the story of the blind man & John 11- the story of Lazarus. There’s a lot more to my story, but basically I’m still praying for a miracle in my life. Matthew 8:7, Jer 30:17, Jer 29:11, Pro 3:5-6, Psalm 91-92, Phil 4:13, Matthew 19:26, Romans 8:28. Sending love, prayers & blessings your way. ❤️💕🙏🙏🤗🤗
I found healing from this later on by taking more of my medication 🩷 knowing God is perfect allows me to be follow Him knowing that, as long as I stay obedient and keep building my relationship with Him, I’ll have the best life I can have. Of course, this world isn’t perfect so I will still suffer in God’s best will for me. God is perfect love and that has healed me so much. I hardly fear anything anymore which has helped greatly with anxiety. Perfect love drives out fear! Following a God who is perfect and knowing that perfection = love is so reassuring. I would never want to follow a God who doesn’t perfectly love us. His love ensures that, if we follow Him, it’ll all be for a good purpose. Not sure if I explained that the right way but I will say that knowing He’s perfect has helped me, not hurt me. 🩷🩷
I keep going back to Luke 18 and the parable of the persistent widow, but it's all I have to cling to sometimes and I definitely get the feelings of exhaustion. It feels like I'm exhausted with everything sometimes, but the more I read the Bible and recite God's word & promises over my life the easier things get.
I just watched this video and think about what a person blessed by God you are. Every time you start to feel like you are being spiritually attacked, talk to Jesus and he will always listen to you and be by your side, so the enemy will go away. Every time I start to have negative thoughts, I start singing praises to Jesus and talking to him and everything improves very quickly. The night before you go to sleep, ask your guardian angels to protect you and have a peaceful night's sleep blessed by God and imagine thinking about yourself with Jesus and God and everything will get better, I guarantee you.
@@CreateCompassionCC How interesting, you go to a store and buy a new car. Everything is working fine, but in order for it to run you need to put fuel in it. If the fuel is not of good quality, the car will start to malfunction and eventually stop working. That's how our bodies are, we are born perfect, everything works properly, but if we don't eat the right foods, we will start to get sick (for example, processed foods, cow's milk because of the lactose, sugar, fast food, soft drinks, etc., these become poison in our bodies and our bodies start to become inflamed, which is why we gain weight) and not only that, they generate psychological and psychiatric problems. After I stopped eating all these things, I never had any problems again. Advice: Exercise every day (in your room) and eat chocolate as always. Don't forget that God uses people to send us messages. Soon I want to see a video of you very happy and smiling....see you
Hey sister, I know this is an older video. I am in the same situation. How are you know? Prayers, keep hanging onto the Lord. I quit Benzo pills 3 years ago, I didn't sleep sometimes for 5-6 nights in a row (not even a moment). I have never had a diagnosis. I am fighting bitterness. Praise God just keep praying.
@@CreateCompassionCC amen, I stopped benzo médication 3 years ago and I’ve been in non stop warfare. I know the Lord has been holding onto me. I’m tired. Thank you for your obedience and channel.
Yes! He helped me navigate through a few years of very severe depression and debilitating anxiety/panic attacks. And hang on friend! God has a good plan for you 🙏
The demon has been defeated,, it’s not the struggles because you think demons are around you it’s the fight to overcome in your mind that he is there still.. Jesus I brake that cycle of fear and confusion because the enemy is not having hold in your mind anymore…. Start rejoicing and thanking God that he’s in the battle for you ,, as you think you feel the enemies attach , having faith and loving Jesus say thankyou Lord you fighting my battles,, thankyou Lord you the only that’s understanding and loving me…. In Jesus precious name.❤
My obsessive thoughts are really different and difficult to live with. It's like my mind takes what's suppose to be natural and enjoyable and makes them .negative and bad. My current thought is the toughest thought I've ever dealt with. My thought is that I don't really hear what people are saying when they are talking to me. It's like I hear them , but my mind creates this discord, and I hear them, but my mind makes me not want to believe it. There havs been many variations of this too. This makes me not want to talk to anyone, or fear when people talk to me. Idk what to do. I don't know why God is allowing this?
I said a prayer for you 🩷 I’m sorry you’re going through this. Honestly while I was going through this struggle, I was too tired to pay attention in any conversation and when I started sleeping again things got better. I also learned to not be hard on myself during this time as well. For most of the season, I couldn’t function very well but I forced myself to work, drive, & exercise, and I wish I had let myself rest more. Be gentle with yourself if you’re struggling with obsessive thoughts. Think “I’m doing my best” instead of ruminating. The Bible says “take every thought captive” but it takes time and we have to be kind to ourselves because kindness is love is God 🩷
@@CreateCompassionCC Thank you for praying for me. I've actually been dealing with this for 15 years, and my mind always throws the same tactics at me Everytime in just new ways. It's like my mind is the enemy. It's weird I know. Like this all started in PA when I was living with my Mom. There was a lot of negative energy in the household cause of the abuse I endured from My Mom's husband. All of sudden one day, I started to feel my pulse beating and obsessing over that, then it went to me obsessing about me not being able to breathe naturally, then it just continued to developed more and more. I feel like I haven't really dealt with this, so that could be why I'm still going through it. Idk what are your thoughts on this?
@@polerity I’m not a doctor but this kind of sounds like OCD. I know some people create “mind rules” that they feel like they have to obey. It gets hard when your mind constantly needs to follow these rules that have no real meaning or benefit. I definitely suggest seeing a therapist if you can. It’s typically treatable with the right tactics as far as I know. A friend of mine once shared that OCD felt like this so that’s where I’m getting my info from. I also used to volunteer with NAMI but I do not have OCD. OCD can start at any age and I think it makes sense that it could be developed under stressful circumstances. It’s a very real mental illness that I think has been trivialized over the years. If this sounds like what you’re experiencing seek help for sure & see if you can connect with others who have a similar struggle as they may provide more help than I did. 🩷 again, not a diagnosis but that’s just what it sounds like to me!
@@polerity also look up anxiety attacks vs. panic attacks. I watched a video recently where she described (I can’t remember which type of attack) it as being aware of your heart rate and breathing and then it escalating because you can literally feel yourself getting more upset and then it often turns into a full attack. Again I suggest seeing a therapist. Sometimes God needs us to seek medical treatment because modern medicine and therapy are blessings from God. Its okay if you can’t help yourself because often someone else can 🩷
Have you asked the Holy Spirit to reveal what scriptures to read and/or listen to? Have you prayed the Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) and/or Psalm 91 over yourself? Also too come against the spirit of Amalek that comes against women, children, and the elderly when they are weak. Remember Jesus and The Holy Spirit are always interceding for you. Scripture states, The Lord fights for you as you remain calm. Exodus 14:14. You are chosen, holy, and dearly loved. The Lord does not cause pain without something to be born. (Paraphrased Isaiah 66:9). Keep thanking and praising His through the tribulations. Blessings to you always in Jesus name. Amen. 🌻🌻🌻
You're not helpless, when jesus healed people he healed them on their faith not his own they had to believe and remember when the unbeleiver s had to leave the room for jesus to do the healing THAT is how powerful faith and belief truly is. 🙏
I am doing so much better 🩷 ty! Turns out the warfare was convincing me I was medically helpless. However, it was taking a higher dose of my medication that helped me sleep again. 🩷
Have you gone through deliverance before? Breaking legal ground that the devil has in our lives and souls through our very dna is always a good place to start. I work with a ministry in NJ, we pray for those who need help. Obviously, never ever pay for this, just believers helping believers. We need someone to take authority over these legal grounds over the person. I completely believe this. We so many times need someone who knows their authority in Christ to pray against all.
I don’t know what that is but I’m grateful that this season has already passed 🩷 it’s always hard when you know you have authority in Christ and are loved unconditionally yet you still go through hard seasons. Such is living in an imperfect world I suppose. One day we will all be free in God’s heavenly kingdom 🩷🩷 but I know for now, all suffering has purpose as Jesus so wonderfully and painfully showed us on the cross. 🙏
Girl I am gonna work my magic. You're going through a lot, but there is a cause. The medications may be a crutch, but personally they've never helped. What has helped is figuring out the root cause. So think deeply and realize deep down where the cause is.
I learned that it was the enemy convincing me I was helpless but taking more of my medication actually healed the insomnia. I’ve been sleeping much better since 🥰
@@CreateCompassionCC Yeah I found meds helped me fall asleep too. I was more talking about the racing thoughts etc. during the day if you have them. You will get better. I am going to commit myself to heal you through RU-vid!
The Lord convicts he does not condem that condem comes from satan , and having a relationship with Jesus Christ, not man made religion whom does condem has conditioning people of lies , its in the bible , The lord wants us to return to him
It was actually bipolar mania causing the sleeplessness! Must have been a mixed cycle. The enemy convinced me I was beyond help but my medication ended up helping me a lot. 🩷
A hug 🫂 to you dont worry just go n meet sprituial people l help i feel the same way but u can come out dont worry i m suffering from depression from 20 yrs without knowing be with people it l help
