Thanks so much for the encouragement, and it's always very refreshing to finally hear something other than how it's all my fault and i deserve whatever happens to me, even if it's mostly true. But still why do so many people feel the need or desire to belittle others right in the midst of all the crap they are going through??

Anyway as far as all this unexplained dream phenomena, i am beginning to think that God or the Holy Spirit does at times intervene in our dreams much more than we realize, even if it may seem like some random person saying something, we still need to pay attention and i believe if any one thing or message is from God then HE will always help us to remember it. And since you mentioned mental health, i was diagnosed with  severe depression due to a chemical imbalance when i was about 15 and was taking some very strong anti-depressant meds for it which seemed to do the job. Not sure if that would still be of any significance now but just thought i would mention it?

I agree we do need to listen.    Most nights I sleep with earbuds on listening to different things from my phone.  I find that I get more deep realm sleep doing so.  Restful relaxing type of sleep music is the best.    I have to use earbuds for it keeps my wife awake.  LoL       It also helps with covering the noise of the C-pap machine.

 When they say "chemical imbalance" it means they don't really know. LoL. They don't can't measure your chemicals so they don't know. First chemical they try to adjust is serotonin.

The anti depression meds may have played a part in your case but you cant do anything about it now. 

 

Actually i realize that now, but was just too young at the time and believed whatever the doctors or "shrinks" told me. But now i pretty much know the reason for my own depression, which i truly believe was more subconscious than anything else, and not only feeling sorry for myself but for everyone else who was suffering like i was, and not wanting to accept the fact i could do nothing at all to help myself or anyone else going through the same thing i was. And I think i was just starting to realize than even if i could do something about it that it would never amount to much, since HE is the one allowing it and there is only so much we can do because it's really all part of His so-called "plan"...or however you want to say it?? THAT is how i would define true "depression", period.

Well said. I think that is 100% true and it's an excellent reminder to me. I get frustrated at things that I can't control and I often get depressed about the state of the world or at the low moral standards of society or at the plight of sick and disabled people. But as you said, God is in control, He has a plan and we don't fully understand it so we have to trust in our Lord.

I believe the evil one is behind mental illness. Satan tries to make us depressed, fearful, anxious. Actually, almost every emotion comes from Satan apart from love and acting from those other emotions often results in sin.

But thanks for sharing your testimony and thoughts, I really enjoyed your insights

I believe dreams tell us a story from personal feelings and emotions and future prospectives.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
