Voice of the trumpet

Actually, Genevieve Nnaji is right about the link between spirituality and mental health. A very good example is King Saul. King Saul had serious mental health issues, and those issues had spiritual causes. We see this in 1 Samuel 16:14:

“Now the Spirit of the LORD had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD tormented him.”

We also see that Saul only had relief when an anointed man, in the person of David ministered to him. We see this in 1 Samuel 16:23:

“Whenever the spirit from God came on Saul, David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him.”

Also, in the New Testament, we see that a man in the region of the Gerasenes had serious mental health issues, to the point where he had to be chained. We see this in Mark 5:4-5.

However, after having an encounter with Christ, Scripture said “they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his RIGHT MIND”-Mark 5:15.

The use of the word ‘mind’ in Mark 5:15, shows that this was a mental health issue.

Romans 1:28 is very clear that many mental health challenges are caused when people depart from God. That verse reads:

“As they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind.”

That was precisely the case with Saul. It was also the case with King Nebuchadnezzar, who was driven mad by God when he tried to put himself in the pace of God. We see this in Daniel 4:16:

“Let his mind be changed from that of a man and let him be given the mind of an animal.”

Again, we see the word ‘mind’.

From the foregoing, it is very clear that from a Scriptural perspective, the more you depart from God, the more deprived your mind is, and by extension, your mental health declines.

God is like the Source of our mental Internet. The closer you are to the WiFi, the stronger your device (mind). The farther you are from the WiFi, the weaker your device.

You might be very rich, and still have mental health issues because you chose not to retain a knowledge of God. We see this in Mark 8:36:

“What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”.

Scripture often uses the words soul and mind interchangeably.

And the solution, as Genevieve said, is to draw near to God. When we draw near to God, Philippians 4:7 applies to us. That verse says:

“The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your MINDS in Christ.”

We see that word again-mind.

So, you can choose not to believe in Scripture. But if you do choose to believe in Scripture, then you must accept that it is God Who gives us the Spirit of:

“Love, and of a sound MIND.”-2 Timothy 1:7.

The only place where people get married and live happily ever after is in a fairy tale/Disney movies. Marriage is beautiful between 2 people that love God more than themselves. But even so, It is still hard work. Now Imagine 2 people who have come to the end of the "butterfly love stage"of marriage and both of them don't love God nor submit to God's way of life.....that is when marriage become Hell on earth.

Christians, do not marry someone because of the butterfly stage of love...that stage will come to an end approximately 2 years after marriage....then you will face the heat.

# if you don't love Christ more than your Husband or wife....it will fail

# Failure is when: cheating enter, lying enter, beating enter, abusive words enter and mother in law takes over!!

marriage books before you marry

# infact, we need a marriage school to wake up this young generation from their fairytale imagination of what they think marraige is....

I AM WRITING THIS LETTER TO THOSE WHO ARE GENUINELY BORN AGAIN, BUT THEY ARE STRUGGLING WITH SOME SECRET SINS... BECAUSE, I WAS THERE!

There is something glorious about your future God will show you, you will not need your pastor to keep preaching holiness message to you daily...

When you see a girl singing in the choir, yet, from the choir, she keeps s*xual appointments, check that girl, she has not seen anything yet about her future...

When you see a young boy who dresses to church, to seduce those small girls to bed and his mates will be clapping for him, check that boy, he has a spiritual eye problem...

He hasn't seen anything about his future yet...
If you do it again and again and again, God will forgive you again and again and again...

But, while He is busy forgiving you, angels are busy searching for some one else heaven will use to replace you ...

What separates men before God is not how long they can pray or how much scriptures they know...

The value God places on people is not determined by the position they occupy in the church...
But how much they can bear for His Name sake...

Some times, He allows your salary to be delayed, to know if you will start stealing in your office...

Sometimes, He allows some lose ladies to start suggesting s*x with you, to know if you have grown...

But unfortunately, you still fall again ....
Yes, He will forgive....
But, you will still remain in the same class in the school of glory...

Decision separates men...
There is an OIL that comes with separation...
The weight of a man is buried in the decisions he makes when no one is watching him ...

Many times, God allows you to be lonely so that you can be holy...

Forget this public revival messages all of us are preaching...
Many are still behind in the school of glory...

Not because they chose to, but because they still don't want to pay the price of separation...

If it takes a man to be married to be responsible, we will not have many married irresponsible men scattered all over the place who are renting houses for their girlfriends, while their wives are still at home....

When a man is due for marriage, he should get married...

But don't tell me to get married because you want me to escape fornication...
Marriage is not an escape route into a responsible life...

What you cannot control when you are single has the power to control you even when you are married ...

No matter how beautiful your wife will be, you will still see other beautiful ladies....
Teach me how to die to flesh sir...
Teach me that I can live alone in a house alone and yet, I will not think rubbish thoughts...

Joseph was not married before he ran away naked from Portiphar's wife bedroom ...
It was not a marital ring on his finger that made him refuse that gesture....

But because he knew the future God has planned for Him will be messed up by a single decision....

God wants to raise a generation of young boys and girls that will love God where no one is seeing them ...

God wants to raise a breed that doesn't appear holy only when they see their parents or their pastors...

This holiness by dressing is sending people from choir seats to hell fire...
They are dying in secret sins, yet, they have none to cry to, because, once they confess, they will be stigmatized...

Consequently, we are raising a generation that is speaking in tongues on their way to hell...

Sister, singing in choir doesn't confer value on men before God, but decision...
Stop attaching your spiritual growth on night vigils where you go and flog enemies ...

God is waiting for you when no one is there...
If you can succeed there, you will be a commander of the supernatural...

The greatest tool against the end time church is the adulteration of the message of grace...
They teach you that God will forgive...
But they will not teach you that God will not promote you to another class...

No matter how you love your child, you will not give him your car key to use when you know he has not perfected his driving...

As long as that child is finding it hard to drive perfectly, he will keep trekking to school...

There is someone reading this posts now, heaven is saying that you are due for manifestation, but you have not made a decision yet...

You are still afraid of hunger....
You don't want to starve....
You are ashamed of what people will say when you stop sleeping with men for money to pay bills...

They have even told you that there is no young person like you that doesn't have s*xual partners...
That human beings were wired by God to fall and rise again...

Several times, you have made moves to delete all those phone numbers that connect you to your vomits...
But you have been afraid of the days of loneliness...

You don't want to miss those cuddles...
You don't know if you can ever look into his eyes and tell him: "No more s*x"...

Even if he accepts, you are afraid that you might never cope...

Sister, don't let weekend or**sm rob you of eternal value...

Your enemy is no more that witch in the village....

But any man that is making you comfortable in a place of rebellion with God ...

Don't be in church singing in the choir and God will go to the nearest hotel and catch a pr******te, wash her, clean her and fill her with His power...

I know you have been trying to make amends ...
You have answered altar calls several times, yet, you still fall back, even more deeper ...

Some of us were there not too long ago...
Singing in choir, leading in powerful prayer sections, yet, battling with addictions...

Worse of all we were afraid to tell anyone...
Because, people around would never have understood how much we were trying to be better ...

We bought different anointing oil, from different men of God, yet, we were not free...
We even afflicted ourselves with fastings...
Yet, nothing changed ...

Until we encountered the Word of God.....
When Jesus said that " We are made clean by the Words that I speak unto you..."

We began to read and study the Bible...
Like Job, we began to esteem God's Word above our necessary food...

Gradually, addictions began to lose its grip...
God began to change our appetites...
Until today, the darkness is past, the true Light now shineth ...

Brother, I want to recommend you to the Word of God....
The Word of God will settle that lust issue...
Don't go and rush into marriage if you are not ready, because you want to avoid temptation...

The spirit of lust does not respect wedding ring...

Especially now that our sisters who are still in Babylon even prefer having it with married men ...

There are still single guys who are serving God in spirit and in truth...
5 chapters of the bible every day and 1 hour prayers or more...

You will see that your mind will stop going to those thoughts ...
Jesus did not say it is easy...
But He said that with God all things are possible ...

Your heart is beating faster now as you are reading this...
You are wondering if you will ever get free from the things you are struggling with...

Friend, that God that did it for us, He will show up on your case...

Receive grace to feast on the Word from now....
In Jesus Name...please teach the young ones in your church and God bless you.

Pls share 2 save someone

Shalom!!!

DON’T BE SILENCED BY PEOPLE WHO DON’T KNOW YOUR STORY..!!!

“The crowd told him to be quiet; but Bartimaeus shouted even more loudly” – Mark 10:46-52

As Bartimaeus called to Jesus, the crowd, including Jesus’ disciples, tried to stop him. They thought he was disturbing Jesus on his journey. But, the Scriptures say, “he shouted even louder”.

Bartimaeus shut his ears from discouraging words. To make it in life we need at times to be deaf to the crowd and focus on our goal.

It was easy for people to silence Bartimaeus because they didn’t know what it means to be blind. What it means to stay by the road side. What it means to beg.

My dear friend, don’t let people who are not in your situation silence you. You are the one who knows the challenges you are going through. You are the one who knows your problem.

GO GO AND CRY MORE LOUDER TO JESUS,,
1.Don’t be silenced by those who have both parents and don’t know what it means to be an orphan.

2. Don’t be silenced by those who still have their spouses and don’t know what it means to be a widow/widower or to be divorced.

3. Don’t be silenced by those who don’t know what it means to be a single mother.

4. Don’t be silenced by those who have faithful husbands/wives and don’t know what it means to be cheated on.

5. Don’t be silenced by those who have children, and don’t know the pains of barrenness.

6. Don’t be silenced by those who have obedient children and don’t know how it feels to have rebellious kids …

7. Don't be silenced by those who have jobs and don't know the pain of being jobless...

8. Don't be silenced by those who were given houses by their parents and don't know the pain of paying rent or lacking rent...

are the one in the painful situation. You know it better, cry out loud today to Jesus till he stops and calls out for you.
