Therapy can help, but only God can heal

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tMkrtMdMYE&t=498">8:18</a> "If you live within this world of self, the therapeutic world, where you're always thinking about how to get the states of the self remedied, you are missing what you were made for, and that is God- the seeing of God in His glory and His majesty." Paraphrased: "If you're constantly thinking about yourself and how to 'fix' yourself and what's wrong with you and how to get to xyz and pity yourself for not being who or where you think you should be, then you're missing the point. That's not what you were made for. You were made for God. You were made for seeing God in His glory and His majesty. You were made to focus on HIM, not on yourself. Life is not about you, it's about <b>Him</b> "

This was such a confirmation of what the Holy Spirit has put on my heart and revealed to me. We really need to fix our eyes on how BIG our God truly is. In doing so, it will put A LOT into perspective for us. It will remind us of how much we truly need Him in order to be fulfilled. <br>Therapy/Counseling is much more effective when it points you to Jesus rather than self-healing and all that it entails.

@ <b>Katlego Molokoe</b> So true! Man who is in the image of God is far to complex to be dealt with via these trite theories and practices. It takes Jesus who got up from the grave to resurrect a man from the dead state he is in, and allow that man to be able to get up out of the dead things we encounter as humans, by that same resurrection power residing in us through the Holy Spirit. Psychology is wholly inadequate to address this.<br>🇨🇦

Praise GOD for this fabulous message! 🙌🏻<br><br>Pastor John's message perfectly describes what I witnessed come to life for over 20 years. It manifested itself more and more with each passing year until it prompted me to close my therapy practice in order to get a new direction from GOD.<br><br>The majority of people that came through my doors were mandated to do so. Although I did not proselytize during their sessions, I brought them to the foot of the Cross every opportunity GOD gave to me. By GOD's Grace, I understood a number of years earlier that I would never be able to offer people true hope without pointing them to CHRIST.<br><br>Although this "methodology" was against the Adult Probation Department's policy, I obeyed ABBA nonetheless. The HOLY SPIRIT convicted me of my role in people's lives, ABBA guided me, and I exposited what He prescribed.<br><br>JESUS CHRIST demonstrates the following realities daily to all who believe in Him.<br>There is no true way:<br>to heal,<br>have faith,<br>be encouraged,<br>demonstrate courage,<br>or<br>experience peace<br>apart from Him.<br><br>I will continue praying for those in psychology-based professions, asking GOD to open their eyes and ears to this reality; the reality being that apart from CHRIST, we can do nothing!<br>🛐 🙏🏻 ✝️<br>Shalom! (Peace!) ✌🏻
