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.

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

I take a pill too. I'm also on fire for the LORD and KNOW that my deliverance is coming soon..

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 love you bro. Thank you for your testimony. Jesus delivered me from adderall, anti depressants, and panic attacks. Fasting/prayer really helps bro.

“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! 🙏🏽

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.

I could cry because this what I have been dealing with and prayed to the Lord about.

I pray for deliverance for this pastor and the chains and bonds to be broken over his generation.. praise God for this testimony

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.

Yep! Pastors and those in ministry have the same exact struggles as everyone else. Thank you for being so transparent!

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.

"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'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.

''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❤

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.

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!!!

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.

Beautifully said! I pray that he receives full healing in the name of Jesus!!! 🙌🏽

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!!!!!

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!!!

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.

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! 🙌🏻

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.

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

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.

Your humility is inspiring, pastor! 💕

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... 🙏

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,

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.

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.

I agree 100% with him. Persons need to understand that everyone has troubles and tribulations.

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.

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

Exactly what you described is what’s been happening to me. I’ll keep praying for everyone

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.

So thankful for this testimony... his vulnerability has helped many people... I know it has helped me!

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.

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.

Total healing for you in Jesus name 🙏

Thank you for your testimony pastor. God bless you always

Thank you for being transparent and honest! Praying and believing God for your healing and healing in this world 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

AMEN PRAISE GOD FOR YOUR HEALING 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

PUT ALL YOU TRUST AND ALL YOUR HOPE,…………IN OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST,……….OUR LORD,……. AMEN

It can happen to anyone as we grow in Faith . The Sabbath true Peace will keep us 💖 Blessings to all much Love

‘Protect each other’s nakedness’ I love this he said.

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.

I feel you brother. I am going through this same season right now. I was full of anxiety, depression and had considered ending it all. I always carried a fear of being knocked down. Then Lord then revealed to me as he has shown us himself the Lamb will get knocked down but gets back up a lion with fire in his eyes. With that he lead me to my saving Grace, a celebrate recovery group. What a blessing. A little over a month ago I just completed the celebrate recovery step study and gave my testimony in front of the whole church on Mother’s Day. The lord gives us all our victories in different ways as he let Lazarus die before his healing came. We will overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony Thank you for sharing your testimony brother. I could feel your faith and passion for the lord through it.

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.

Wow! This video just pop-up at the right time! Praise the Lord!

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.

People need to hear more about mental illness so thank you

Thank you for sharing about your experience. There are so many of us who need to hear this! Amen!

The testimony hit home for me. While I’m not on medication, I can relate to the childhood experiences he mentioned and having anxiety and depressive episodes as an adult. Even after becoming saved, I still struggle with these areas. Getting disconnected from social media is also the best thing you can do sometimes, especially when you’re on your walk with God. Loved this testimony!!!

Thank You soooooo much. Heard it now the second time as it blessed me so much. Jesus You are my friend and Church is a place where I find open ears and hearts. Blessings from Austria, Pastor Peter

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!

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 takes great courage to be this transparent. This will be a blessing to many.

Amen Brother.! I don't Judge you, but bless you and will agree with you for your breakthrough

After I believe in Jesus I healed from depression and other things My God God awesome God 🙏 Thanks God 🙏

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, really needed to hear this

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.

Thank you so much for your raw testimony. Very touching and I’m a revivalist in heart also’ God bless you brother!

As long as Jesus your shepherd and you go wherever He wants you to go, it’s all good. ❤ Jesus, our King I pray to you, be our protector, be our guide, shine your light onto our hearts. 🙏

Psalm 118:17----- I shall live and not die, and declare the works of the Lord.

I felt miserable and guilty for taking pills, the truth is I can't stand the pain and all this storm, one day I decided to quit because I was afraid of addiction but the doctor told me to be humble and accept the help, I have told God that it shows that without him I cannot walk alone, without him I am in misery, I keep praying for healing, for 23 years changing in this agony, I had a period that I felt relieved but I relapsed due to divorce and things, thank you for sharing your testimony, I feel much compassion for all of us who are struggling with this. I love you, may God give us strength and let us not lose faith as many have lost it. I pray for those who have left, the truth is that no one wants to commit suicide just to get out of that brutal suffering.

After watching these it made me realize I’m a walking testimony

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.

I suffer from extreme anxiety... To anyone reading this I respectfully ask that you would please say a prayer for me. Much love to all of you ❤

Thank u for yr testamony Pastor. U are speaking life and setting many free by yr transparency.

Love you Pastor Chris. We are always on your team.

Yes find real friends that won't judge you and will sit with you and have compassion for you, and will cry with you and pray with you. This man is the real deal.

I'm so glad he is putting this topic of depression and anxiety out there. I was diagnosed with clinical depression/anxiety as a teen. I'm 49 years old still dealing with it. I've been baptized and filled with the holy ghost over 20 years ago. Even though I've heard God audibly speak to me and had tangible experiences with God, I live with depression symptoms because of a diagnosed disorder. GOD HELPS ME WORK THROUGH IT BUT HAS YET COMPLETELY TOOK IT AWAY. I'm so sick of Christians not understanding and thinking I dont have enough faith, ect🙄🙄 I believe in living holy and not even trying to holy has took this away from me. I'm at the conclusion that God allows suffering and some things God will not take away and he will walk through it with us as it's our own cross to bare🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Thank you for your testimony. There's nothing wrong with taking medicine .

Fantastic!

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.

God will heal you Chris Remember you’ve been disturbing the enemies camp God will fight you

This is exactly what I prayed for ! My daughter is in pain anxiety and we are praying over her to get answers ! Thank you 🙏

What a great testimony Loved and admire this young pastor Many blessings ❤

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.

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.

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.

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🙏

Bless you for your honest heartfelt testimony!

Praise God. I broke down crying. Thank you so much for sharing your testimony.

Love this man. I’m in the middle of that battle right now. I hit a wall 4 weeks ago and I’ve been in recovery mode. I’m so glad I got to see this

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.

This testimony spoke to me even though it has been up for 1 year! Thank you for sharing this and for being so transparent

I can only imagine the level at which the earthly body and mind are drained and exhausted when the Lord uses you at the magnitude that you have been used. You can have the strongest faith on this planet, but earthly suffering exists and sometimes medicine is necessary. God bless you💕🙏🏻

Brother, that was bold and Truth!!! During quarantine I was abused by my second husband who lead me to believe he was a man of God! I am now finding healing. Mentally I feel so lost. Your testimony left me .....wowed!!!

Amen to you for speaking truth and keep taking the pill cause I believe with you that you will be healed may shame leave you in the name of Jesus cause you are a son of the most high God

I too am a pastor on medication, praying for revival and healing over others. I’m also asking for a powerful breakthrough in my emotions.

From a young girl I grew up not free, going through lots of panic attacks, depression, stress and not sleeping ... have found God but still need help

This man’s comments are amazing and spot on! I Have NEVER heard this put so well in all my life until today. He said what needed to be said. 100% with you, Pastor!

I'm watching this with my 3year old son and he asked me "mommy is that Santa?"

Thanks for sharing your testimony, I am a missionary pastor, unfortunately over the past year I began to struggle with depression and mental illness, I had to take my pride away and get help! I definitely believe in God’s healing 💯 but at the same time I am now on medication.

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

I was literally just praying to God about this exact thing and I was just like wondering am I in the wrong for taking these drugs and I was going to abruptly try to stop taking them all and after hearing your testimony you have helped me a lot! Thank you for your honesty, because those that judge you are ignorant and they don't understand, but the people who have been going through things like this feeling the same way, feeling guilt for taking medication, you have helped heal massive group of people who have been hurting. ❤️

No, you don't understand - how much I needed to hear your testimony
