No, you don’t get it. The old self smoked more THC than anyone without any anxiety at all. This wasn’t merely anxiety, this involved WORLD-ENDING anxiety and restlessness before any effects of THC could be felt, at just a few hits.
Pastor John is obviously someone who has really applied his whole being to understand and apply God's word first to himself, then sharing that truth with others. and that is why -for me -he is always worth a listen!
I have an anxiety disorder that cripples me with unrealistic fears such as losing gravity and falling into space, or being sucked away from where I'm standing. These anxieties follow me into my dreams too.
Hi this sounds really scary but I want to help you with scripture. I encourage you to preach the scriptures and the promises of God in the scriptures - to yourself. Believe what the scriptures say, more than your own heart and mind. Thank you for sharing this and I hope that God heals you!
No don't trust in your feelings because they could be bias, come form the evil one and God doesn't normally cause anxiety for direction because He says fear for nothing and don't be anxious, cast all your cares on God because He cares for you. And also not lean on your own understanding. Seek the Lords guidance by prayer and seek His guidance in the word though prayer.
God allows things but He doesn't necessarily guide us through sinful attitude because Scripture also says God does not tempt us. We also pray "lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil."
Please pray for me i deal with anxiety all day everyday at work and around certain people I deal with on a day to day I just don't understand it i feel out of place
Da Bishop that's not from God! I've been there!!!! I'm working so I can't explain but keep crying out to Jesus he will deliver you! I have been delivered from so much anxiety and torment! Love you
Da Bishop Brother I'm right there in the spiritual trenches with you man. I really struggle and am tormented everyday with anxiety (especially social anxiety) please believe me when I say that what you're going through is not some unique torment just for you because you backslidden too many times(for example) or you've taken Gods grace and mercy for granted. I'm just making examples of some of the thoughts that torment my mind and drain the the peace and joy out of my life, we're NOT gonna give up bro, keep praying and talking to Jesus and reading His Word. You probably won't believe it now but you're gonna be ok man,. You're in my prayers bro.
Definitely, was met by this q&a. I could understand the question. The Lord has made all of us with different temperaments, and anxiousness is common for people in the most simplest of situations. We could think “since I am made like this (easily anxious) therefore I should walk away from that which makes me nervous. “ The Lord definitely understands our struggles and cares yet He still calls us and desires us to walk in a better way. But it will come with maturity. Not over night but with time. He is wise in His working, strong in His ability to bring it about, and caring in the way He stands beside us in trial and falling alike.
Take it from personal experience, sometimes a strong-willed ignorant child can only be stopped and reason with only by the anxieties of their spirit! 🙏😣✝️
He has done it to me to drive me away from my many failings. Anxious & Anxiety are two different things. Anxiety is now know to be a disease, often hereditary.
It's so funny Pastor John, I felt compelled to skydive I was so afraid of all of life before being reborn. After I learned I can control what i do with those random attacks from Lucifer's army. It was like a celebration or initiation lol. dee in LA
1 John 4:18-19 New International Version 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 19 We love because he first loved us. I’ve listening to Mark de Jesus RU-vid channel, it’s been helping me a lot regarding these topics like anxiety, depression, OCD. I’d totally recommend.
how i understood the question was: i’d the bible doesn’t say something is sinful, but i feel anxiety about it, does that mean it is sin? basically the meat sacrificed to idols issue
Hi pastor John at the meoment out Ives are really going through a major and scary way and I know I'm am operating out of fear and not faith and I don't like myself and the attitude of my heart, we are just about to lose our home and my biggest insecurity is being made homeless again. God and jesus are the most important parts of my line but I am freaking out as we thought we were hearing god to stop what we were doing and to give of ourselves and time to the church. However we are about to move and we still don't know where to. We don't have much money for rent although I still have a job - we believe that God wants my husband to work for th church and I am100% behind him but my faith is at an all time low as we wait for n affordable property to call home. I know this might sound silly but my inscutites all come to the forefront and my faith gets weker every day that passes. Please give me some of your thoughts. My faith should not be this low
I agree with Pastor John’s parachute analogy. I have thought the exact thing, I too would only jump out of plane, to do do my part in protecting our country. Any other reason seems foolish to me.
But skydiving is not as dangerous as it is perceived to be. Driving is more dangerous statistically, so is it more foolish to go for a leisurely drive than to go skydiving?
The LORD GODFATHER in Christ Knows what is Good for HIS Children in Christ in Whatever Circumstances in Lifes Here in this World.HE LOVES the World and HE Knows what is Good to HIS LOVE, which is the World.Be Merciful,as HE is MERCIFUL.HE can not Judge HIS LOVE Mercilessly Everlastingly.it is the Works of the Serpent Devil and the Wicked that made Them to Suffer,... There is No need for GOD the CREATOR to Let Them to Suffer.the Reason Why there is death, even the Second Death which is the End of all Suffering.Satan and His Devil Children will Suffer if They don't die to Death.so also the Flesh will Suffer if They don't Die to Death.
