I was molested at 8, my dad died at 12, and by 14 I was smoking weed. This led me to take prescription pills and psychedelics. Now im diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and I did some CRAZY things because of mental illness. Im not at all ashamed of taking medicine. Ive seen my brain without it! Praise God for his redemption in my life
Amen
You will be ok. God gave as medicine. Pray to Jezus. BPD will let go of your Holly spirit. Trust and behave healthy. ❤
I’m a nurse practitioner and I believe that mental illness is real. I believe that you can take medication until you build up faith and be healed. I also know that whom God sets free is free INDEED! You don’t encounter God and remain the same, never! He is not a man that he should lie. It’s ok not to be ok. It’s ok to get help. But I pray God delivers you soon because if he heals your mind, you will never need any pill anymore. God bless you and your family.
Yes, sister nurse practitioner! So true 🙌🏽
I've found myself in the same exact position right now with a zannex I feel stuck
@@garrettjohnson499 I just walked with someone through coming off a benzo. That drug really effected his faith almost robbed his life. The episodes I saw him go through in withdrawal were so demonic. He is now 30 days off and doing really good for the first time in 30 years.
Amen!
ABSOLUTELY THE TRUTH Daniel 🇬🇧
“Jesus don’t judge me, man” low key broke down crying right there 😭 it’s like a breath of fresh air to know that you’re not the only one.. this is one of my favorite testimonies! Very powerful! Thank you both for your work in the Kingdom, I’ll be praying. Keep it coming with the testimonies! 🙏🏽
Thank you brother for your encouragement and vulnerability as well. You will be in my prayers.
Lord Jesus don't judge him because he's saved. It's important that we don't let the unsaved go around thinking the same thing. The unsaved need to come to Jesus with saving faith, and then they can say the same thing. Although we must all give an account to Him, we who are saved have passed from death to life.
When I was at my lowest and thinking about suicide, I read a book by Daniel Amen about ADD, ADHD I figured out from the book which pills I should take. I went to my nurse practioner and told him to give me an ADD test (which he did), I told him what drugs I wanted to try based on what I learned from the book. He decided the dose and prescribed them. It worked! I took the pills for about 3 years. Then I missed an appointment and couldn't get my prescription. At that point I decided to make up my mind not to agree with depression but to take every thought captive (2 Corinthians 10:5,6) don't agree with every thought that runs through your head. I needed help to get me out of a bad situation, but at the right time I was able to overcome by practicing having the mind of Christ.
Also, about judging others for medicating for mental illness, read Romans 14. It's talking about judging for food, but it applies here also.
Peace.
very true, espec. the part about not judging someones foods or medicine
"Hanging out with the Lord with no agenda" hallelujah that's Jesus my brother, my best friend!!!! I love it 😭 us feelers are feeling this as we intercede
I take a pill too. I'm also on fire for the LORD and KNOW that my deliverance is coming soon..
Amen Brother 👊🙏🙌
me too,
Amen 🙏🏻
@Tony Pino :: Brother, "...THERE IS THEREFORE NOW NO CONDEMNATION FOR ANY MAN WHO IS IN CHRIST JESUS..." Are YOU hidden in Christ, Brother? Yes, I believe you are! Our Jesus NEVER, EVERRRR FAILS ...always rem'ber that.
For all of you guys that were on a pill I was on many too one was invega for bipolar. I got freed from it. I had demons of mental illness in me. Was addicted to drugs, manic mood swings, depressed, suicidal, anxiety, rage, you name it. Once I got delivered from these demons I grew all the fruits of the spirit never did drugs and all my mental health was healed. Thank you Jesus. Jesus delivered many people with a demon of mental illness in the gospels of the New Testament. Not all mental illness is demonic but a good amount is. Say this prayer God break any generational curses in my life if there is any in Jesus name. Should everyone should stop taking medicine no. Fast and praying is important because some demons won’t leave without fasting and praying.
My husband is having major mental issues which landed him in jail recently. Please be praying for him. They are trying to find a diagnosis. I’m praying for a supernatural healing but I’m also praying for God to help him through the right medications.
Abba, please heal Katie’s husband completely in body and mind. Guide the doctors to help him and may you restore this man to Yourself. Bring peace and comfort to this home. In Yeshua’s name I pray, Amen.
Praise the Lord for your life brother. My husband had panic attach and he thought that he was having a heart attach. Even though he is not a Christian yet that experience help me to get very close to the Lord. It was amazing see the Lord bringing people to our rescue. He had the medicine for a while and now he do not need anymore. The Lord is faithful!!!
Same experience in church culture ministry!!! I felt like This morning Holy Spirit said to me. “I’m leaving the church building to where all that’s left is systems of religion. Individuals will feel like they are in my will because they bought into the system. I am calling the church “ ecclesia “ to mass repentance for loving their religious culture over me!!!”
Bro my heart is literally trembling right now!!!
AMEN!!
Amen 🙏🏽 ❤
Psalm 118:17----- I shall live and not die, and declare the works of the Lord.
I love you bro. Thank you for your testimony. Jesus delivered me from adderall, anti depressants, and panic attacks. Fasting/prayer really helps bro.
Everyone's journey is different. His testimony is amazing
He probably fasted and prayed brother! The thorn in his flesh is different than ours, I have my own thorns as a former pastor
@@Willie23D “Probably” does not mean that he did. He should if he hasn’t. I’m just saying. God bless!
Jesus said certain demons won’t go out without fasting and prayer.
“[But this kind of demon does not go out except by prayer and fasting.]””
Matthew 17:21
Jesus delivered many people who had a mental illness or physical illness in the gospels of the New Testament. I was actually delivered from demonic spirits of mental illnesses such as extreme rage, manic mood swings, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and drug addiction. Once I was delivered I had was freed from all of that and became fruitful. I have all the fruits of the spirit now. I’m not on any medication. I don’t crave drugs. I’m not angry, not going in mood swings, happy, full of joy, not depressed, self control, patience, no raging and many more improvements. Yes not all of it is demonic. We shouldn’t demonize everything but many of this is a root of demonization. We should also not put all of our faith into the DSM-5 because it was not inspired by the Holy Spirit but it does have many good truths in it. The ultimate truth is the Holy Bible. Everything else should come secondary.
“But God has selected [for His purpose] the foolish things of the world to shame the wise [revealing their ignorance], and God has selected [for His purpose] the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong [revealing their frailty].”
1 Corinthians 1:27
How did you fast? I don’t want to take my anxiety and depression pills. I want to be able to experience something like this and look for god
I'm happy for this. No one is exempt. Doesn't matter if you have a title or not. Thank you for the testimony of God working power. Amen
Thank you so much for your testimony! I have been beating myself up because Im not healed as I was judged for meds and felt Jesus was ashamed of me for taking medicine. This was actually an answer to my prayers, like a weight is lifted off me.
I could cry because this what I have been dealing with and prayed to the Lord about.
YES! Thank you for this! I've had those same thoughts of not wanting to take anxiety/depression medicine. God has recently been opening my heart up about taking medicine.
AMEN PRAISE GOD FOR YOUR HEALING 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
So thankful for this testimony... his vulnerability has helped many people... I know it has helped me!
Wow! This video just pop-up at the right time! Praise the Lord!
God is a spirit but he is not the only spirit. That’s why being in leadership is a great responsibility. I pray for him in Jesus name
Thank you for being transparent and honest! Praying and believing God for your healing and healing in this world 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I’m so grateful for this man’s testimony! I myself am in ministry and from time to time- depression presents itself and I have to fight.. it’s not easy to admit it because it seems that people do judge you or try to put a quick bandaid on it and it doesn’t work! I thank God for your naked truth.
I pray for deliverance for this pastor and the chains and bonds to be broken over his generation.. praise God for this testimony
in jesus name Amen!✋❤❤
It takes great courage to be this transparent. This will be a blessing to many.
Yep! Pastors and those in ministry have the same exact struggles as everyone else. Thank you for being so transparent!
Yes they are the same as we are. I use to think that they were so perfect and holy and nothing was hard for them and that there lives were perfect, but its really not, they struggle just lime any other human. They just need alot of prayer because being pastors over a church is not easy, they need built up and lifted up.❤
Some of God's mightiest people have had their ups and downs, and have been in messy circumstances. Besides Jesus Himself, I don't think anyone's faith has been perfect, 100% of the time. I applaud this pastor for being real and I can tell he has a real, genuine relationship with the Lord. We should all learn as believers to show compassion towards one another instead of making blanket statements that can be detrimental to the body of Christ. We can learn from the book of Job and NOT be like Job's friends.
Jesus came to me when I was emotional and on depression. I became amazed. you get that energy when we realize that lord JESUS is with us.
@@blackinpublic4193 amen
Amen.
AMEM AMEN AMEN & AMEN
Thank you for your testimony and thank you Lord Jesus for doctors, medicine, and mental health professionals who help your children through you Lord Jesus.
God loves us we gotta be honest before God
May The Lord bless you for transparency. This will free many that are dealing with condemnation and shame while dealing with mental conditions. It can make a person disqualify themselves...but that's a lie. In Christ there is NO condemnation. He calls us, qualifies and justifies us.
Proverbs 22:2
The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.
So glad someone with faith is talking about this :) definitely an issue that doesn’t get any attention
Amen Brother, I'm right with you I take meds everyday cause I have bad anxiety. I'm hoping with the help of the lord I will be cured. No one should come at you because you need to take medicine. 🙏 I love your testimony ❤️ Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for watching and sharing Melinda!
I've been dealing with anxiety & depression my whole life. & I've asked The Lord God Jesus Christ, to take that anxiety & depression away from me.
& one day He told me Joe, I can take that anxiety & depression away from you. But if I do you'll never seek me again. Not all anxiety & depression is a bad thing. God Allows such things because it also helps us to keep seeking Him.
Look at Paul he had thorn in his side what was that thorn God's Word doesn't say but what did God say to Paul "MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR THEE." Amen.
So never think anxiety & depression is a bad thing it's not. Give God the Glory for what He gives you to keep you seeking Him. Amen.
Great, great word brother. It's so true Joe, even King David said "Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word” Psalm 119:67 What a revelation that the Lord takes our suffering when turned to Him, to strengthen us in the Faith and bring relief and deliverance from all of our Fears and so much more. By it our stubborn and resistant flesh is being forced to turn to Him in our desperation, and there, it's at His feet where we find Him waiting to comfort and help us to press on to know Him, and His all-sustaining Grace. And if I remember right ' ) Paul said
"and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ." You articulated this so much better than I was able. So thank you Lord and thank you Joe for sharing this! He does indeed work ALL things together for our Good. Bless you dear brother, this really ministered to me tonight. ; ) Maranatha!!
I respectfully disagree.
I struggled with crippling anxiety and developed agoraphobia. Many told me I had to accept that God made me that way. But the Bible says to not be anxious. So I told myself that the Bible has no contradictions. How can God say to not be anxious but yet I’m anxious.
I then found the verse that says “ do not be afraid of sudden fear” panic attacks are sudden fear. I then told myself but I don’t have to be afraid of it.
I then found out through someone who was able to heal from anxiety ( they’re not Christian) they told me that the trick is to be okay with the anxiety and to not be afraid of it. Takes a lot of practice.
I then saw huge results. I was able to finally get out of bed and leave my home.
If I had chosen to accept that I was made to be that anxious I would not be where I am today. I still struggle with anxiety but it has been better than before. I’m still hopeful as well.
I also read doctor Caroline leaf and shaan kassam on TH-cam which helped a lot.
I hope I don’t offend you or discourage you.I’ll be honest and say I hate mental disorders. I pray that healing comes your way ❤️❤️
You're right, there's no shame in taking a pill, pastor
So true about the screen time.
I’m a flawed and broken Christian and I take a pill. I hope our Heavenly Father heals me one day, but for now, it makes me a better man of God.
I applaud you for making yourself so vulnerable to help others. Your testimony is powerful. I pray that God will gradually deliver you while you take your pill.
🙏😭praise god!! excellent testimony!! im a believer thats been struggling with anxiety and panic attacks for years. thank you brother , god bless you!!
God Bless you for your truth! The truth will set a lot of Christians, “feelers” like me, FREE! I have been diagnosed with anxiety and depression. I haven’t taken medicine for about 4-5 years, although I’d previously taken medicine for 20 years. Some days I do feel torture but I press on and sometimes I do wish the lord would just heal me or just take me, but plead he keep me filled and alive for my family, but I feel so exhausted sometimes. You took the words out of my mouth, sometimes I just need something that takes the edge off me. I just wanted so much to not take them is all. I’ve been okay for the most part but some days I feel like I take it out on people close to me and feel like I’m failing them and God. Im going to try medicine again or consider it. I just don’t want some of the side effects too, but this gives me a place of peace I needed as a sister in Christ. I love your heart. I exercise now to fight it too,
I suffer from depression and anxiety and love God too. I have witnessed a person who couldn’t believe that I take anti anxiety pills and antidepressants even tho I believe so strongly in God. I told Him the same thing you did. Thank you for being a mouthpiece for God’s understanding and confirmation.
I'm on a pill too, my man. And I have the generational curse of family suicide as well. BUT NO MORE. I'm with you. It's so important to so many people that you spoke up. So many people who won't comment are thanking you. An uncountable number of people need to hear this. You gave me strength today and you've helped so many heal by telling your story. You've helped so many people by taking and saying that you take a pill.
It’s okay to speak to those generational curses in your bloodline and tell them they have to go. They are there because someone gave them permission and it takes one person to break and take back that permission. Speak life and come against the hopelessness, depression, fear, and lies that’s been going on in the bloodline.
@@chosenray1 Thank you! I know this sounds silly, but I honestly don't know how to speak life to it.
Amen... God bless you
🙏🌈🙌
I smoked weed for 10 years. Took zoloft on and off for 5 years. My son was in the hospital for 28 days and I didn't have time to do anything. My son died, and God delivered me from both 🙏🏽 Be encouraged people.
I am a feeler as well , and I've dealt with depression all my life.
I promise this is my personal story as we speak. I'm not on medication but the conversation has arisen. I needed to hear this so bad. Many Faith communities beat you down for lack of faith if you are going through real mental illness. God bless you brother!
Thank God for your honesty. Its not easy to admit that you are on medication. Like you say, people are very judgemental. But who cares! Our only worry is the judgement of Our Lord. Theres nothing wrong with taking medicine if we need it. I thank God that you are an inspiration to us all. May Our Lord bless you abundantly as you are a blessing to the people around you.
I don't claim to be anything special but I do have a gift that our Papa give to His children. My message to Chris: you're still in a spiritual battle. Have no fear because Jesus fights for us. I see you're wanting to understand and seeking answers to every events and situations from what you've seen, heard and dealt with. I tell you my Brother, some things of this world and the spiritual world is not for us to understand, you will only see it through Jesus's eyes. It is NOT to our understanding so please do NOT focus on that. With your mind and heart focus on the word of God and Jesus alone. Your answers will be there. Leave everything else to God because it will hinder your walk with God. Chris you're the beginning of this battle, I pray you will have an amazing break through. No more pills, no more guilt and shame because it ends now in Jesus name. AMEN. May God's grace continue to be with you and all of your journey. Stay focus and separate your flesh from your spirit, take care my friend.

how do you not focus on ur heart and mind what are we supposed to be 24/7 all day thinking about Jesus? what exactly do you mean by this
@@imwastingmytimeonthis677 I can't help but think of anything else to focus on. If you mean physically no, we obviously come and go and all have to go about our day but I couldn't imagine not focusing on Jesus for almost all day and I mean like listening to Christian music because there is all types now of Christian music that is made so well and not corny at all, every genre has a Christ version that motivates you and exites you or relaxes you, and then good Christian movies, documentaries, shows, testimonies on TH-cam, other amazing Christian videos you can find that are informative, educational, entertaining and even kid ones, lots of children ones actually, and sermons. It doesnt mean what you're thinking. You just have all you do be for God's glory and guard your gates:ears and eyes and mouth from anything that could hurt you spiritually and/or physically and it should not ever always be a forced or feel burdensome thing, you fall so in love that you'll be focused almost all your awake hours on Him and so if you watch something funny or entertaining that let's say is like a funny fail video on TH-cam or something funny someone shows you, it doesnt mean to just mute that out and stare at rhe wall and just only think of Jesus, it can't be something religious, a tradition, a forced thing. It becomes natural and so amazing, you will have to go about your life doing lots of different talks with people and errands to run and things to do but He becomes the center of all we do and you'll not have to or try to but will just be always focused on Him and full of His peace and joy that you can't be focused on other things. I mean this all with love and don't want to sound rude at all. I love you my sibling in Christ. You can email me anytime, if you ever needed anything like prayer, advice or someone to talk to. I'll always be here and hope you have a beautiful and blessed day.
That "sozo" stuff he mentioned is borderline new age! I'll never forget the time a person from sozo laid hands on me and wow my spirit rebuked it! I immediately took it to the cross and that following day God answered and confirmed why what is in me rejected that stuff..... It's mind blowing to see how the new age is slowly creeping into the church.
Is not generational curse, is LEARN BEHAVIOR, but definitely we need more conversations that educates us the body of Christ.
Thank you pastor. Compassion fatigue is real. Pray for your pastors and teachers!
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9
I’m right with u…. Deleting it all for the glory of God! 🤗 big hugs!!
I know all to well about depression and anxiety and all disorders that attack. By the grace of God he is helping, at the same time it's all trying to come back. Harder and stronger than ever... a lot of it is coming from me being a parent. That is extremely difficult for me in many ways. Trying my best to NOT be like how my dad was when he was alive. When i was younger.... its very sad he got way better at the time kinda before he passed away. When i felt he was supposed to have done that when i was younger. But he changed and he was 100 times better.. thank God!!!!🙏🏾😁
Blessings to you all 🙏😊 powerful testimony! You are correct about social media! It has a HUGE effect on our mental health! I also decided to detach myself from social media and you wont believe how much it helps! May God heal you emotionally, mentally, physically and most importantly spiritually in the name of Jesus! 🙏🙂
I COMMEND U MAN OF GOD! SO MANY CHRISTIANS ARE SERVING RELIGION VERSUS HAVING A TRUE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. ITS A SHAME, THAT MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD HAVE TO PRETEND THEY HAVE IT ALTOGETHER, VERSUS BEING ABLE TO SAY I LOVE GOD BUT I SOMETIMES STRUGGLE. I SOMETIMES FALL SHORT. I SOMETIMES BATTLE OR SIMPLY I SOMETIMES DONT GET IT RIGHT. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO GIVE US THE HEARTS OF HIM, AND MAY WE LOVE AND HAVE COMPASSION FOR ONE ANOTHER RATHER THAN JUDGE AND CONDEMN. IN JESUS NAME
Beautifully said! I pray that he receives full healing in the name of Jesus!!! 🙌🏽
Amen!!
Amen!
Thank you for sharing this. I think you had a really well balanced and thought out perspective. I also love that you mentioned that pointing a finger doesn't help, but having a relationship and walking alongside someone does. What an amazing point.
I was 29 when my husband left me with 3 small children. I went into deep depression and was trying to raise kids, work and just function. Not sure why but I also felt shame in seeking help. Interestingly, God sent someone, I think he was an angel, I only seen him twice. Once when I brought my children to a little park. I was staring at nothing while the children played. He talked to me about my problems. It was some weeks later, I took the day off of work and went to the beach. As I lay in the sun, I cried for a long time and was thinking all I had to do was keep walking into the ocean to end it all. Of course I couldn't leave three small children with no one as my husband wasn't interested in even seeing his own children. As I was walking back to my car, the same man was sitting on a bench and asked me to sit down. He told me how much God loved me and how blessed I was. There were people going through things much worse. That was the last time I saw him. Eventually my mother went through a time of fasting and prayer for me and I was healed of the depression. It is a shame that we suffer when there is help out there.
An absolute Angel that man was. Your testimony will heal others. Well done Mama👏🏽❤️
I want to hug you! Thank You 😊
Habakkuk dealt with this in the bible. He was angry because the people in the church were becoming like the world. We are living in the last days so be aware of these same behaviors!
It’s important we don’t judge each other’s journey. What works for someone else may not work for you! What resonates with me is what you said about compassion, and medication. Thank you for sharing! 🙌🏻
I feel so much better. I felt like I was much less because I have anxiety and I take a pill. God brought me across your testimony to understand what I'm going threw. My phone is a distraction from my anxiety but instead of picking up my phone im going to pray. Thank You Jesus!!!!!
Your humility is inspiring, pastor! 💕
mad respect bro team jesus wins
Pastor thanks for sharing your experience Jesus is the Great Healer He will touch and heal your mind I know that you'll still bring more into the kingdom God bless your spirit
Thank you for sharing. We all need to take a break from social media, it’s an addiction the enemy uses to distract us in every form of way. I declare healing over your mind in Jesus Name.
Bro, thank you for this! I’ve watched it 3x’s
Yo! Chris P!!!!
Amen.. This is something I've dealt with since 15.. I know my break through is coming so soon.. Thank you God.. Thank you Jesus... I believe... I believe... 🙏
PUT ALL YOU TRUST AND ALL YOUR HOPE,…………IN OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST,……….OUR LORD,……. AMEN
''God didn't create you to be numb from pain, he has given us victory over pain,he's given as victor over wounds'' may God bless you abundantly❤
Thanks so much for your obedience to the Holy Spirit. This might have not been easy to share especially in a Christian context. You have encouraged thousands.
I was on the way to a clinic to get medicine years ago, and The Lord said inside me 3 times, "All you need is me, all you need is me, all you need is me." I said I know, but I've got to do something.
I went into a 21 day nervous breakdown, where I thought I was starving myself, but The Lord had me fasting. At the end of the fast,The Lord snapped His fingers and said,"You won!" He cast all those demons out of me that told me I didn't want to live all those years.
My daughter was almost a year old, she is 27 now and I have never thought it since.
Isaiah 9:6,FOR UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN, UNTO US A SON IS GIVEN, AND THE GOVERNMENT SHALL BE UPON HIS SHOULDERS, AND HIS NAME SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL, COUNCILOR, THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, THE PRINCE OF PEACE.
🙌🕊🙌🕊🙌🕊🙌🕊🙌🕊🙌🕊🙌
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤AMEN!!!
I appreciate your testimony. As someone who also suffers with mental illness (PTSD), I rebuked my psychiatric doctors harshly and I have refused medication. Your testimony caused me to reconsider my stance.
I seen your first testimony... was Awesome. At least you know the Holy Ghost, you felt God in the Spirit. I wear a mask EVERY SUNDAY, don't go out my apartment the whole week and put it back on on Sunday for those church folks. And I'm afraid to die because I know I'm going to hell. I believe in God, but I'm tired of playing church.
Thank you for your testimony pastor. God bless you always
I agree with him but I have insomnia issues if someone taking mental meds lays hands on me and prays
GOD USES MEDICINE!! YES!! TAKE THE MEDICINE TO LIVE! Jesus will give you abundant life! Jesus will heal you. You can overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony!
You can love Jesus and be depressed. But God can and will heal you.
I agree 100% with him. Persons need to understand that everyone has troubles and tribulations.
AMEN!
Exactly what you described is what’s been happening to me. I’ll keep praying for everyone
I'm watching this with my 3year old son and he asked me "mommy is that Santa?"
He's better than santa. He's the real deal.
Cute
It can happen to anyone as we grow in Faith . The Sabbath true Peace will keep us 💖 Blessings to all much Love
Bro I can relate to you. I developed anxiety after I was stressed at work. One day I had vertigo while sitting in the car waiting for the stop light and I developed fear after that. Long story short, the doctor gave me antivert medicine but I realized that there is something more behind the panic attack. I knew I need to figure out the real problem rather than patching it.
The Bible says that we don’t struggle with flesh and blood but spiritual forces.
God spoke to me in multiple ways. He convicted me of the strongholds and bondages i have in my life, although i was already a christian. With His power and my willingness, I humbled myself and kneel down and surrender all ungodliness in my life including pride, excessive phone gaming and internet, watching sensual shows, and things that satisfy the flesh. Every single thing. Those are idols. All God need was for me to hand over them to Him so He can break the chain. EVERY stronghold has a demon spirit attached, that spirit has a legal right with our soul either to torture us here or afterlife. With the grace of God, He broke those bondages.
Of course temptation is still around but my Spirit is now stronger than my flesh, that is the power of the Holy Spirit. He who is in us is stronger than the world, and He defeated the world already to set us free.
I’ll tell you honestly, you are right, that phone and social media is bad…because is indeed the devil’s playground. It’s not called Apple for no reason, you can’t resist but to eat it. Be in the world and the world will love you as their own. I left the world (world wide web) already and i have PEACE that Jesus promised, that in Him there is peace. I guarantee you that it will set u free from depression, if you draw closer to Jesus and leave the world. Jesus said if you love the world then automatically, no matter how u defend ur faith, u hate Him. No one can serve two masters. God bless u bro.
Amen 🙏 i am a witness to his testimony . Glory to God forever ☝️
For me I tried everything brother as long as you’re trying you’ll feel good about yourself and we’ll find the right solution. Ultimately I went to my brothers and sisters in the Lord. Let them in on everything that was happening then I went to For me I tried everything brother as long as you’re trying you’ll feel good about yourself and we’ll find the right solution. Ultimately I went to my brothers and sisters in the Lord. Let them in on everything that was happening then I went toDeliverance ministry, inner healing, counseling, therapy, and visit a psychiatrist.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, really needed to hear this
Man this really helped me.
Total healing for you in Jesus name 🙏
Amen.
This is so powerful and will minister to so many people like me. Thank you for your truth, which shined an undeniable truth of Christ: he loves you depsite all our flaws and shortcomings!
Amen Brother.! I don't Judge you, but bless you and will agree with you for your breakthrough
This is so good. Thank you for sharing. We live on the Earth BUT are not of the Earth. We have power and authority hear on the Earth. But we can still battle sickness. Some of us get our healing here and others in heaven. Either way we are healed by His Stripes.
Amen! thank you for watching Jane!
I have constantly felt guilty over not "trusting god" in healing me with my ssd and seeking treatment. At some point I would stop looking at a cochlear and wearing my hearing aid cause I felt shameful. Tysm for this message.
He's such a beautiful person! You don't realise how much pastors do take on, caring for everyone else. So who cares for them, there is only so much a person can take on 🤍
Thank you so much for your raw testimony. Very touching and I’m a revivalist in heart also’ God bless you brother!
Thank you for watching Kim
God continue to bless & protect u pastor Christopher! 🙏🏾 I’ve been extremely extremely touched & blessed by this testimony! 🙌🏾 My favorite testimony so far, THANK U DELAFE TESTIMONIES for what u are doing, u guys have really touched people’s lives that I’ve shared your testimonies with, especially mine.
Indeed we need this transparency in church & more compassion instead of gossip & judgment.
Thank you so much for your support ! May God bless you too!
Beautiful testimony!!! The church is disillusioned to believe that medication isn't necessary. My mother's family(she had 6 siblings)was a believing family. I loved my mother. She was diagnosed as diabetic in 1996 at 50 years old.She never took care of herself. The diabetes damaged her kidneys. She was advised to get dialysis. She refused.She wanted to be healed.She developed kidney failure,several mini strokes and she had a rare blood cancer. She died in 2018. I wrote this because we have to understand that healing doesn't come the way we want it to. That has to stop. The Most High will heal you the way that he wants to heal you.It's not always an instantaneous healing. Take your prescribed medications.
After watching these it made me realize I’m a walking testimony
Amen & Wow. Thank you Pastor for being honest bc that's what all of us need. I feel there's soo much in our lives & we trying to overcome it by ourselves. But God brings ppl like u to help us. God Bless You & I'll pray for u. Keep me in ur prayers🙏
Thank you for sharing! How can we reach u if we do not have social media. Ive been logged off all social media going on a year but i really believe God put this video on my youtube newsfeed for a reason because ive been struggling with my mental health n have been battling with depression, anxiety ect. Ur testimony is my testimony n i would love to see more of what God is doing in your life. If there is any other outlets to reach you beside social media such as a website please let me know. God bless you and everything you're doing
Catholicism is the fullness of the truth. Christ is really present in the Eucharist and most people think it's symbolic. And it's not. He's actually there.
Thank you for being brave and talking about this very important subject! I needed to hear your testimony! I've always been super cautious about taking any medication and still am. I'm no longer youthful and have a serious brain injury, so there are some medications that I have to take. Like you, I go through times where I try to see if I'm healed yet and don't take them, but still need them. I know God will heal me in His time. Thank you for reminding me that I don't have to be ashamed.
Wow praise God for his perfect timing !
After I believe in Jesus I healed from depression and other things
My God God awesome God 🙏
Thanks God 🙏
I love and identify with this testimony. Thank you for sharing it
