In the USA there is a 35% increase due to anxiety and/or depression. My message to YOU today is to break the stigma. Think about it: What is the difference between being treated for diabetes or thyroid or heart conditions … or for mental health conditions? What is the difference in having a prescription (Rx) for mental health problems and for physical problems? We will discuss these issues in this teaching. Our GOAL is YOUR complete DELIVERANCE, HEALING and FUTURE HEALTH. ________________________________________ HEALING AND MENTAL HEALTH WHAT IS MENTAL AWARENESS Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act … and helps determine how we: Handle stress; Relate to others; and, Make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. Over the course of your life, if you experience mental health problems, your thinking, mood, and behavior could be affected. Many factors contribute to mental health conditions, including: Biological factors, such as genes or brain chemistry; Life experiences, such as abuse; or Family history of mental health problems. I know a Christian brother―a Church leader―who was suffering from a severe case of depression and went to another ministry leader for counseling. The advice he received was this: “Man up and pray more!” Now this MAY be good advice in some cases BUT not for this brother who needed serious mental help. He needed to see a seasoned psychologist OR a psychiatrist. There are several examples in the Holy Bible of God's People who were being attacked with mental issues (either from personal danger [threats] or demonic attacks or both). Elijah the Prophet was overcome with fear (1 Kings Chapter 18). Rabbi Shaul (the Apostle Paul) “despaired of life itself.” (1 Corinthians 1:8) However, notice that both of these men—Elijah and Paul—listened to God, and received HELP and DIRECTION when they obeyed God. I have a friend who was a Director of an international Christian organization whose daughter was in a very serious auto accident. As a result of the accident she suffered a brain injury. Her husband divorced her because of this condition (she had been a Sunday School teacher previously). She was so badly afflicted that she was placed in the worst cell by herself in the mental institution due to demonic possession. One day while going to visit his daughter my friend was stopped at a traffic light. Even though he was very sad thinking about his daughter and the change that had taken place in her life, he decided—while waiting for the traffic light to change—to start praising God in faith for her healing. When my friend arrived at the mental hospital his daughter was totally delivered and in her right mind for first time in months. It was such a MIRACLE that the hospital made her stay a few more days to make sure it was REAL. Below are several teachings I have done in recent years dealing with certain types of mental conditions and HOW TO BE HEALED.

Many times a person may take medicine(s) to alleviate problems while they are believing God for healing. If you find yourself in this situation just pray over the medicine and thank God for using it while you are waiting and believing the LORD―YHWH RAPHA―for your healing. In my book Health and Healing: Complete Guide to Wholeness I share in the first two (2) paragraphs of the Introduction the following: “In the 39th year of King Asa's rule, he was diseased in his feet until his disease was very critical. Yet, in his disease, he did not seek the Lord, but went to the physicians for help. He died two years later. [2 Chronicles 16:11-13] There is nothing wrong with going to physicians or seeking medical help or advice. But what we should do is seek the LORD first to see ...
