  1. Please Pray for my S-I-L Travis. He is been battling with anxiety for a very long time .
    I keep Praying for him daily.I know our God will heal him soon.
    Thanking you in advance for your Prayers 🙏🙏
    Tangerine from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺.🙏🌺💙

  2. When i suffered from horrible anxiety for over a year, I seen a lot of Christians on line claim it was because of " unrepented secret sin" or proof of a person unsaved which caused worse anxiety and religious scrupalacity, or religious OCD.
    People are dying physically from suicide and spiritualy , walking away from God thinking they arent even saved,no longer having any hope, all because some in the church want to play experts, doctors, and beat others over the head with absolute garbage and lies, doing the devils work for Him.

  3. Need prayers for bipolar, fibromyalgia pain for 35 years and childhood trauma. Thank you for your sermon series on mental health! Bless you for knowing.

  4. So I have major mental health issues. I suffer from sever anxiety, stress, depression, insecurity, a constant sense of doom, and so on.

    I have started to learn recently if I keep my eye one God and in his word then I feel at peace. I also have a new quote.

    "Hope can be found in the darkest times if one only remembers God."

    I sort of hijacked it from Harry potter but I think it's true. I think I'm gone get it tattoo on my arm to remember that my hope is in God and ad long as I have that I can get through anything because I have him.

  5. Thank you for sharing your personal experience to comfort and teach those who can relate 🥰😇 I appreciate you and your messages! God Bless, my brother in Christ.

  6. Life groups are once a week meetings. No support. I have never seen that anywhere. People click off and if you're not the cool kid. Life groups are extended high school. That's why people don't go.

  7. One suggestion I find it very difficult to find the message series from one message. Can you make them into playlists so that I can easily go through the whole series in order. Ty

  8. I'm so grateful God has brought me to this teaching, again!
    My mind has been so exhausted.
    Still seeking and praying for a church, that's not afraid to speak the truth in love, even if it hurts.
    God Bless Your Journey Together

  9. I really believe everything that he just said, if you have not gone through this, you do not know what other people are going through. I was a victim of this awful mental deficiency in my mind and I also feel that after 30 years I finally overcame it with my Lord Jesus Christ that gave me the strength and the power to move forward.

  10. I don't think that King David, prophet Jeremiah and Elijah were suffering from mental health. These men were facing real challenges from their enemies and that was why they behave that way. Yes we can face worries, fear, doubts and anxiety, but God will deliver us from them all. I was deliver from these things by seeking God through prayer.

  11. sir your sermon and words were lovely and your honesty as i can relate to what you say and i put my trust in jesus and god our father to heal me. regards from northern ireland friend
