It's so funny that I was hanging with my friend yesterday and I asked her if she could meet Jesus face to face for 10 minutes, what would she ask him and I answered first. I said I was going to ask him if he ever felt sad or depressed and if these emotions I feel all the time are validated because I'm only human in the end. No matter how much I pray sometimes I still wake up and feel like sh*t and the sadness devours me. I feel so comfortable that even the greatest people in the bible felt this way because some christians make it seem like you shouldn't make mistakes and you should be perfect. But now I know it's through Christ we are made perfect.
@@JacobCoyne A lot of great points in the video, but i think it's important for us as the Church to get that "weak-strong" verse correct. That one that we've been quoting for so long is actually misquoted from Paul talking to the People in 1 Corinthians 4:10. "We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute." The weak-strong verse that we really need to get ahold of is from 2 Corinthians 12:10 "For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong." This comes right after the verse with God's instruction "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." I have to be honest though... I've been struggling to believe that for myself, even though I know what the Word says. 😬
I needed to here this. I’m sitting here in tears wondering if I’m ever gonna actually feel better ever again. I know God loves me and I have my moments but generally I’m so depressed most of the time. We just moved to a new town me and my husband went to a great church and moved and still feel like we haven’t found our church home. We walked in a church a month ago and got love bombed right away then after it seemed that well we aren’t new and shiny anymore. The church feels like a business and I’m grieved over this and tired of not saying anything about it. I would love to fellowship and feel loved and supported. I’d love to give back the same. I’m just so depressed that I can barely muster enough energy to get basic stuff done. Thank you for this video. The word of faith church really affected me at first glad I didn’t stay long. But unfortunately it has affected the mind of a lot of believers. They get out their Joyce Meyer material and try to convince others this is sound doctrine or even helpful for another saint. I really want to see depressed, broken saints feel supported and loved and cared for. We’ve gotta do better. I know I need to. This video encouraged me a lot. Thank you for saying what needs to be said. I know that Hod is truly. Loving and merciful and sooo patient. He is sustaining and peaceful. I also realize He wants me to feel connected to others and share and confess my pain to others to feel heard and loved by others. God bless you all and I hope and pray you are feeling the love from the Father and feeling supported always🙏🏽💖
i needed this i have Anxiety and Panic Attacks that i take meds for they do help butt sometimes it's not good enough thank you for making this video God bless you Jacob
I struggle with bad depression. When I read the Bible or listen to the word it really helps. However when I slip up the depression kicks in. Medicine can help but it's short term. Edibles have helped but it just makes me tired and have headaches :(
My greatest happiness in life comes from following Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. So I’m keeping faith in him. As a single mother things tend to be difficult on me. My husband passed years ago so I’m alone. I’m overwhelmed because both of my children are autistic and non verbal. I’m struggling trying to support them and myself. I lost my job as a social worker at Forsyth because I declined the vaccine. I declined because of my pre existing health condition lupus and heart disease. I was denied my medical/religious exemption. I wish I could go back to the hospital but the mandate is still in place for hospitals that participate in Medicare and Medicaid. I’m waitressing and I’m so thankful to be working again, but I’m not making nearly enough to make ends meet. I’m so discouraged and ready to give up because I receive so much hate for sharing my testimony. But God gives me strength to keep me going. I’m so tired of struggling trying to pay bills. Every month is a struggle, to not end up on the streets. It’s embarrassing and overwhelming! But God doesn’t gives us anything we can’t handle! I have faith God will provide. He HAS THIS FAR. WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! I BELIEVE!
thanks for this. I struggle with suicidal thoughts and feeling never good enough and have a low self esteem. Ive tried deliverance, therapy, zoom calls, youtube videos, prayer but nothing has helped. I am seeing a doctor and will be writing to share this journey that is so hard. I feel so alone and in my head all the time but God is with me.
Love it, Jacob☀️Thanks for sharing this and your story 🌿. This was actually the most beautiful and genuine thing I saw on social media today, it really lifted my soul. Like someone knows and cares at once... I have stress issues out of my control, sometimes very hard to handle... Thanks Jesus and thank you Jacob once again💓bless anyone reading:)
I read the description below the video, I completely agree with the point you made that it all can feel shameful. No one talks about this stuff. Most of the time, people can make it seem like it’s your fault, they may mean for it to come out that way though. I dealt with the most violent self hate and anxiety, and I hated myself because I hated myself… The Lord had removed the blinders and revealed to me that shame was such a stronghold. I’m now completely free, no more depression or anxiety😤 Now… I need to actually watch the video😂
I started playing videogames at 11 and forced myself inside for 2 years and at 13, I told myself that im tired of crying and getting angry over a dumb game and stopped playing. Around December 2023, my mom told me that there was a church opening up near us and at first I didn't want to go but then I decided why not. I celebrated New Years with those church members and that was actually the first time I felt at peace but as soon as 2024 started I've been dealing with a bunch of issues. Low confidence, and depression. I feel that the Devil has been trying to put me down but I've talked to my family and my mom plans on telling our church what I'm going through and I plan on telling my church friends what I'm going through. I ask of prayers for me..
I can speak from experience that God takes away your fears more and more when you rely on him. I'm still at the beginning, but things have gotten a lot better. We should not rely on others, but on God alone. Many godly men have had to speak alone and endure the worst. They had no one to help but God alone. David was in many difficult situations. He was persecuted by Saul.
I have instrusive thoughts about harming my parents...sometimes they leave and I ignore it I been keeping it inside suffering but I only told my therapist about these thoughts but this just started...my mom is a huge believer and always pray over me but I can't ever tell her whats really wrong with me...I hate having these thoughts because I would never do these things, i'm keeping my faith sometimes I just want to give up but i'm trying to keep my faith, thanks for this video appreciate it.
Your thoughts do not define you. I say this when I get those thoughts. Then the voice of the Lord comes to mind…He speaks to me in Isaiah 41:10. He commands us to not be afraid or be dismayed bc He is with you. Whenever you get those thoughts, I recommend reading the Word of God and you will see how it goes away. Also, be surrounded with people you love and doing just hanging out with them. The Lord will heal you! ❤
I struggle everyday with depression and anxiety. I'm on medication and am seeing a therapist. It's still hard and truthfully? Im hanging on by a thread. I've been so lonely lately. I'm losing friendships more than I'm gaining them and life just sucks right now. But thank you for this video... it's given me a little bit of hope.
Jacob, I will pray in faith that this comment reaches you somehow. God is inside of you and I know that you can heal me of my debilitating chronic illness I’ve had for 7+ years. I am near to the point of death. I do not have the strength or the money to fly out to meet you in person. If death is Gods will let it be done but God said he would heal me and he’s just waiting on me to have faith. I have faith, and you are his hands. Pray over me and I will be healed
Lord please help me im dealing with anxiety and depression im bed written i need your help lord i have these intrusive thoughts in my head im scared of life scared to get my teeth pulled im scared to live life please Lord help me i pray in almighty Jesus name please lord im a good person i need your help desperately i believe in you i trust and have faith in you amen 🙏🏽
I didn't try everything. I didn't want to try everything. I also went into studies and started in the health field and wanted to be a mental health professional/nurse/Natural therapist. And I crashed because I couldn't last with the passion to "help" people. But keep seeing conflicting issues and with my relationship with God. Needed Jesus to deal with my heart but I also freaked out what God was revealing in our hearts. And the struggle with a rebellious spirit etc.
Hi Jacob! The real challenge I faced is when people in the church tend to be judgemental. They associate everything with spiritual. They condemn taking medication. Only a person underwent divorce will understand what is it like going through divorce. But unfortunately Church is too HOLY, where Christians finds comfort for these things in outside world. It's too much stigmatized.
I had horrendous depression (from 1 to 10 it was a 200) and got cured thanks to a Chinese doctor and a Colombian doctor. It seems that non-American doctors are way ahead of American doctors. These two saw depression as a whole-body illness. The Chinese one showed me that five foods I was eating were behind my depression. I got rid of them and was depression-free. The Colombian told me that I had bad gut bacteria that had to be killed with antibiotics. I refused to take antibiotics because they screw up the good bacteria in your gut, but a very bad infection forced me to do so. The Colombian was right. After the antibiotics I could eat whetever I wanted and I haven't had depresison since.
@@strwbry11 Milk, egg, turkey, sunflower seeds, green beans. The eggs also gave me severe asthma attacks,. The sunflower seeds also gave me severe, unlocalized back pains.
All I want in my life is God's forgiveness upon, I Know I have failed him multiple times but I am trying my best, my parents are on the verge of getting a divorce, and I have lost all my money due to gambling but I try to make up for it, I don't go to church often cause of private reasons but I promise God that if he forgives me and do what I ask from him I will become a new person 🙏🏾
The Holy Spirit keeping making me alive and struggling to live even when I'm in tough time good thing Jesus loves me he keep me away from suicidal thoughts because I have schizo affective disorder that my mother struggling to buy my expensive medicine even though we are poor Jesus ask me to become a Fisher of men to become a pastor but I don't have the courage to do it because I am a very shy person what shall I do?
God bless you, we Always need have God in our hearts, God is everything, the truth in life which is in the Orthodox christianity religion only btw. The orthodox version of Christianity is the original and true form of christianity that Jesus taught us when he came to earth, and you can feel God’s grace through the holy sacraments in this church after baptism , repentance-confession and holy communion in the orthodox christian church, something that completely changes your life and turns you into a happier person with a meaningful life and also saves you by strengthening your bond with God. I suggest you get baptised at an orthodox church near you, receive the holy spirit and live a spiritual life through the church’s sacraments like confession to the priest and holy communion and may God Bless you!
This is not encouraging at all. What about those who cannot afford therapy? What about those who have no friends and have reached out to several churches for help and told them what they are going though and still get no support or help?????
OCD Is The Worst Thing Anyone Could Ever Experience. Please pray for me Harm OCD To live Me In the Mighty Name Of Jesus. Love your Twitter By The Way Blessings To You and Everyone. Hope I get to meet you one Day. This is The word Of God To me and All battling all sorts of problems In This World.🙏🏼🤍
