Thanks for watching! I hope this video brings comfort to anyone who's suffering. God always has a purpose for it, even if we can't understand it at the time.
1 Peter 1:6-7
6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith-of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire-may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
Psalm 71:15
I will tell everyone about your righteousness. All day long I will proclaim your saving power, though I am not skilled with words.

I have suffered with schizophrenia for 10 years now…. I’m a believer too… I have been through hell.. but dealing with this illness is the hardest thing I have ever gone through… I am sorry about your momma… I’m sure she loved you more than herself… but symptoms of this mess makes us distant from even the ones we love the most in the whole world…. I’m so glad you can see the good in the suffering… that’s a true gift… one to hold onto forever… if you don’t mind… please say a prayer for me… I am really struggling right now… and I could use prayers from someone who understands… my name is Sierra…. Thank you for being obedient and sharing… ❤

Precious Sierra, keep holding onto Jesus!! Pray on His Holy Spirit to encourage you…You are chosen by God…if He can choose Job (Job 1:8) He has chosen you too. Isn’t that wonderful that He picked you bc He knew you’d be the right person that would hold onto Him in the midst of these trials. I encourage you to read the book of Job it paints the picture of sorrow and lament with an ending for future hope 😊 We don’t understand why things happen but we can rest assure that it’s bc His ways and thoughts are greater than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9) may His name be blessed!!

My mom is a saint and has taken such good care of him throughout his life. he told her one day out of the blue, while she was struggling with God, asking Him why her son had to suffer like this Terry looked her in the eye and said "mom, there's going to be a special place in heaven for people like me."

Schizophrenia is horrible. I know that a lot of people with the condition have to have medication. I was able to recover by ignoring the hallucinations and delusions. I simply refused to believe they are real. My daughter says it’s not possible to do that. She seems to be doing well on Abilify. I retired after working for 30 years at a high security airport. I never took medication never had therapy and I no longer fear having a relapse. I was a Christian the first time I had psychosis at about 21 years old. I knew there was something wrong with me but I didn’t know what it was. I did know that I had to find out what was wrong with me and recover. In order to do that, I had to trust my own delusional mind more than that of the doctors. I realized that the hallucinations were like entities that tended to drift off into the background whenever I was really focused like whenever I had an argument or something like that. That’s what gave me the idea of ignoring and not believing in those “entities” since that’s what caused them to withdraw. I had to change all my habits of thought. Every time I was triggered to think of some delusion of grandeur or otherwise, I had to rethink everything. I had to not believe what I believed. I had to stop doing miracles and telepathy. It worked! The hallucinations gradually became less and less. After several years, I became more confident that I would never have a relapse again. I actually retired from a 30 year career! I am surprised now how disinterested the medical profession is about my complete recovery. It’s almost like they want you to remain ill so they can lord it over you. They seem to be happier that way. They seem terrified to speak with me and that’s not a delusion. They avoid me like the plague! I don’t necessarily blame them since I probably understand schizophrenia better than they do. I want to help others with schizophrenia and the doctors don’t seem to even care about a possible cure.

Thank you for sharing your testimony!

I surprised her with the visit.We found a beautiful stone that said,In God's Care.Her name was Nellie,and she was also buried with HER mother,also named Nellie who died when she was only a 1 year old baby!It was the time of the Spanish flu epidemic.My mother cried such beautiful,bittersweet tears at her mother and grandmother's grave to finally get this closure.My mother trusted Jesus the day I got baptized,and is the kindest soul I know. I pray that when she takes her last breath in this world that she is greeted by Jesus,her mother,her grandmother, and her son Michael.Jesus is the way,the truth,and the life! No man comes to the Father,but through Him!✝️💞

I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia in my mid 30s after the death of my father. Since the loss of my mother my strength has grown in developing a way of applying the teaching of Christ. That is through promoting life and safeguarding all that are vulnerable which includes animals, plants, people, earth, water and light. Recently a priest publicly denounced me as a sinner. She is no Christian. There are many fakes who carry a Bible but cannot read or write or comprehend the joy of life. I witnessed the birth of a litter of pups and I'm beholding to the sanctity of life.

​@oneman4412 Thank you brother. You see, I'm a well trained First Aider who came across a 40 year old disabled man who was high on crack and I brought him down from the drug using first aid. The next day I was labelled a paedophile and was forced out by a drug gang . I ended up placed in a safe house by the police. After attempts to take my own life I got rehoused and travelled to Belgium to try getting euthanasia since then I'm living day to day with my dog and take it for runs across fields and through woodland each day. I talk to my dead father and pray for release and unity. The female priest agreed with the drug gang that I was a paedophile and would go to hell. I realise now that she was a false teacher and very narcissistic using bigotry from the Bible to further her condemnation of first aid. It is my understanding that Christ was killed for practicing this skill? God bless the meek and hope that you do not suffer these slings and your priest can find some compassion?

I just got to this thread on 6/13/24. Hope you are still with us; please continue studying the Word of God. If you feel overwhelmed and tired of what is bothering you, use statements like "I bind you in the name of Jesus of Nazareth", "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ." Also, sanctify a small amount of olive oil with prayer and fasting (or have someone who is a servant of the Lord prepare it for you.) Then apply like a drop on door frames and windows, to set your place apart. Say: "Lord, be with me. This house belongs to you." (Say your own prayer to the Heavenly Father.) Scripture from Luke 17, "Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.” >> Matthew 18:18: "Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

Hi, Stacy. I just found your channel a day or two ago, and had just watched a couple of your Bible videos and found this one about your testimony. My heart just breaks thinking about your Mom and how much she suffered from her illness, and how much you suffered as a result, too. I can only imagine how difficult it was to bare your heart and soul to tell us your story, but you told it in such a beautiful way, and it was so worth it to hear how things turned out and how your Mom, your son, and you were all brought into God’s love. ☺️ I am incredibly proud of your Mom for having such faith in spite of what she was going through, and incredibly proud of you for pursuing your journey into faith and wholeness. I’m also super happy that your Mom is with Jesus, and that you and your family will all be together with her in Heaven one day! God bless you and your family! 😇💙🙏✝️ Meline

I'm so sorry. I'm glad you found some comfort in this. Just know the Lord is with you always, even in your darkest times, He won't leave you. He understands the pain you're going through, but He also knows things that we don't. He sees the whole big picture, where we just see what's right in front of us. He sacrificed His son to save us, and He knows pain like no other. Everything will be made right in the end. We all will be whole and healed of all afflictions. Stay strong sis, and know you are so loved! Anyone reading this comment, please say a prayer for Breanna!

Thank you soooooo much ...God be praised....my mother suffered so in much the same way...and I had an alcoholic father also who went through WW II and he saw much in the war that he couldn't talk about, but we finally talked years later after he and I took a drive while my mom slept at my family's home here in California with my husband and three children . Both my mom and dad went forward to receive Jesus at a Billy Graham Crusades later even though we all went to church from the time my twin brother and I were about three years old. Our mom was in and out of hospital for many treatments and which included terrible shock treatments. We were born in 1943... but many trials still look in my mind if I let them... I had to learn to read the Bible for myself, also and in 1976 I became born again and God has been working on me. Much love to you and your family....thank you , again for sharing🎉❤😊

Amazing story, God and I have had a long road together as well. I was angry as well at stuff I didn’t understand, and later by reading the Bible, I found so much of it was from my own consequence. Never ever take what his son Jesus did for us on the cross for granted is all I can say because when it no longer seems possible to our human minds, he starts to make a way. You are a strong woman and your Mom is smiling down on you.

Matthew 9:22 “Take heart, daughter, your faith has made you well.” I can imagine Jesus telling your mom this because it sounds like no matter what her state of mind or physical health, she still had her faith deep down in her heart.

There is only one place of safety, one place of salvation, the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ that paid the full penalty for all our sins. Jesus loves you and wants you to spend eternity in heaven with Him. But that cannot happen unless you are born again. So first admit that you are a sinful creature, like we all are. Then believe that Jesus is who He says He is: fully God and fully man. He came to earth and lived a perfect, sinless life. He shed His blood on the cross to pay the penalty for all your sins, past, present and future sins. For the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from ALL unrighteousness, no matter what you have done! He died, was buried, and rose again on the third day. All you have to do is believe that. Believe it by putting one hundred percent of your faith and trust in Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross, without adding in any of your own good works or being good. Because that won’t save you! It has nothing to do with belonging to any church or practicing any religion. The moment you believe is like a personal encounter in your heart between you and God himself where you tell Him you believe, and that you receive Christ Jesus the Lord, and where you call on His name. For the Scripture says: All who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. The moment you believe you are born again, you are saved. You receive the Holy Spirit who will indwell you forever. Because salvation is eternal you can never lose it. So I hope you believed because the alternative would be to endure eternity in hell, paying for your sins. And nobody wants that. That is, if you should choose not to believe what Jesus Christ did for you on the cross when He died to pay for all your sins. What does the Scripture say? John 3 3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 36He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. Romans 10 9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

@thewaythetruthandthelife3602 Жыл бұрын
BELIEVE LIKE A CHILD Is it perhaps your desire to enter the kingdom of heaven? Do you wish you had certainty about it? Here is what the Lord Jesus had to say about it: "Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein." Luke 18:17. What did Jesus mean by these words? Notice that Jesus said, "receive" the kingdom; He did not say "work for" or "earn" the kingdom. How then can we be sure to receive the kingdom of God as a little child and truly enter therein? To know what Jesus meant we have to understand how a little child receives, since this is what Jesus requires of anyone who wishes to enter the kingdom of God. Have you ever noticed how a little child receives things, let's say from his parents or grandparents? Think about it for a while. By observation we know that little children receive without any inclination that they ought to EARN or DESERVE what is given to them. It does not occur to them that they should first become worthy or deserving. It is clear that little children always receive in humility and without reservations. Little children truly know how to receive a gift. They display an absence of pride and self-sufficiency; they simply receive without works and without merit. They do not feel that they first have to earn or deserve what is given to them. They do not measure themselves by their own performance and try to judge whether they should be considered worthy of the gift. They do not think to bring the question of their own merits or goodness into the equation. This, dear friend, is the simple point that Jesus was making. He is saying that this is the way that we need to receive the greatest gift that anyone can ever receive -- the gift of eternal life in His kingdom. The reason we need to receive it as a little child is because, try as we may, we can never earn or deserve it through our own merits, goodness or performance. God Almighty is holy and righteous and cannot look upon sin; His standard is perfection. Even if we have failed only once in our lifetime to fulfill even the smallest commandment in the law of God, we fall short of that perfection. The Bible states that: "All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). We all have failed to keep God's moral law, the 10 commandments perfectly; we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God. We can never change our imperfection and make ourselves acceptable to God by trying to be good. Isaiah 64:6 says: "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." God is holy and righteous and therefore has to punish sin. The Bible also reveals that God is love and does not want anyone to be damned to an eternity in hell. So the Creator Himself chose to become flesh and to pay the penalty for our sin, which is death. John 3:16-18 states: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." By simply trusting wholeheartedly in the finished work of Jesus, who lived a perfect and sinless life and died for our sin on the cross, and by receiving this free gift of the forgiveness of sin and eternal life by His grace, anyone, regardless of what terrible sins they may have committed, can be be born again by the Spirit of God and receive the gift of eternal life. This is how good God is: He was willing to take the punishment for our sin upon Himself. He is unlike anything that we will ever encounter in this dark world that has been marred by man's rebellion and sin and Satan's subsequent evil dominion. God created mankind with a free will to choose for themselves what they will and will not believe, and what they will and will not receive. He will never force His love and gifts on anyone. He will never force anyone to have a relationship with Him. In His mercy and love He offers it but still allows everyone to choose to receive it, or not to receive it. The Bible says that God is love. He is a God of mercy and grace. Mercy means that we do not get the judgment, condemnation and punishment that we deserve. Grace means that we get all the good from God that we do not deserve. God is both -- He is both merciful and gracious. Our human pride is what leads us to think that we somehow have to earn or deserve God's favour and gifts through our own performance, good conduct and meritorious deeds. But that is deception. We tend to reason that we first have to become 'good enough' before God would forgive us and accept us and allow us entrance into His kingdom. We don't realise that God requires perfection. So we focus on ourselves instead of on what Jesus has done for us through His perfect, finished work on the cross and the complete payment He has made for all our sins, past, present and future, through His blood sacrifice. To receive what Jesus did for us requires humility and faith, both of which is found in abundance in a little child. Thinking that we ought to merit the things of God will actually prevent us from receiving them, for it is contrary to the way a little child receives. It CANNOT be earned by us. It was earned on our behalf by what Jesus Christ has done for us and we just have to receive it as a gift. If indeed we could earn it then it would mean that we would have opportunity to boast in ourselves. Yet, our imperfect performance can never satisfy God's standard of perfection. The only way that we can receive eternal life in the kingdom of God is to receive it from Him as a free gift. It is not available to us in any other way. We can never earn the things of God. The Bible makes it very clear: "For the wages of sin is death; but the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23) "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God: not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). Having said all this we can see how our human pride can be a major hindrance to our receiving from Him, not only the free gift of eternal life and the complete forgiveness of our sins that would secure our entrance into the kingdom of God through being born again, but everything else that we need and that He has provided for us by His grace in Christ; things like healing, provision and blessing. God is truly a good, good God. But we can only receive from Him if we are willing to receive as a little child. My earnest prayer is that you do. It is impossible to have any boldness in our relationship with God apart from total dependence on what Jesus did for us. Only those of us who are righteous by faith in Jesus have boldness, having received His righteousness as a free gift. Only His perfect work on the cross saves us from God's righteous judgement on our sin. Just believe that Jesus died for your sins, was buried and rose again from the dead on the third day and God will impute the righteousness of Christ to you and make you a new creature in Christ. He that promised is faithful. P.s. Titus 3:4-7 "But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." Romans 10:9-11,13 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Amen. Kindly share this message.

Thank you for sharing your truth. I have to tell you - you did a wonderful job at it! You say your "not good at" ..but you ARE. Your truth poured out like water, which is what it's meant to do. God brought you through it to bring you to do it :). You are an amazing woman and you need to know that. God has great plans, big or small it does not matter. Each thing you do, each time you speak your truth in whatever situation it brings you closer to who He wants you to be. Personally, I believe your mom can see you and hear you just as God can. She's in Heaven watching over you and she hears you and knows your heart. She knows and understands things now that she's healed that she couldn't know in her condition while here. She loves you & she knows you love her. Just as God knew you loved Him when you "turned away" He never loves us less. Keep on shining!

This is beautiful thank you!! I can't wait to see my mom as she is now. I'm so filled with joy for her. She endured so much, but always kept the faith. It will be the most amazing reunion when I get there!

Hi Stacy. Just discovered your channel & so far, I'm loving it. Thank you so much for sharing. I know this was hard to do. I'm coming back to Christ myself after drifting away. And you're 100% right. You're mom is doing just fine now, hun. And you'll be ok, too. Hugs.

Wow! What a powerful testimony! I’m weeping alongside you. My dad was an alcoholic and my sister was addicted to PCP so I can relate to some of this. As a teacher, I wonder why no adults intervened but you give me encouragement to continue to pray for our kids- not just the ones at home but the ones in the schools and stores…. When I think of things I regret, I list kind things I said and did too and I remind myself that I’m forgiven.

I'm sorry to hear about your struggles as well! I've often wondered about my teachers. I was a quiet kid for the most part. I didn't act out and a lot of us kids were in pretty rough situations. I lived in a bad area full of drugs and absent parents. I'm sure the teachers were overwhelmed. I'm sure my mom did enough praying to make up for it!

Thank you for sharing. Jesus is the lover of our souls, and what a powerful love story you share with him. It takes courage to be vulnerable. It takes courage to allow God to use you. Thank you for your courage. It has surely blessed me, and I know God will use your story to bless others as well.

Stacy - What a blessing! What a story of redemption! God can take anything, absolutely anything to reach His children. The Lord spoke so mightily through you and by obeying his urging to share your testimony, it will bless many. I believe that your Mom knows what the Lord has done in your life and I'm sure she's so happy and thankful. Thank you again for sharing your testimony and your love of God's word. I have been so convicted lately to read more of GOD's WORD! You have inspired me! Thank you! Stacey

I'm so glad!! I thought I knew God, but boy, there was so much more to learn, and still learn! I'm amazed daily at His love and grace, and His forgiveness! I hate the things I've done, but I know He forgives me. He refused to let me go, even when I tried running away. Everything my mom and I went through was for His glory! All the suffering will be worth it in the end!

I watch most of your book talks.Thanks for sharing your story. Both of my parents had mental illness and spent time in hospitals. That's how they met. My dad had paranoid schizophrenia. My mother had a severe nervous breakdown as a teenager because her step dad abused her horribly since she was a tiny girl, with psychological and verbal abuse, and then my mother experienced sexual abuse by a family member, and later was physically abused by her first husband. She never fully recovered and stayed on meds for the rest of her life. My mother later became a genuine believer. I met my dad when I was in my 20s shortly before he died. I didn't see the worst side of his schizophrenia since he was never around. I remember feeling broken by my mom having a mental relapse when I was in high school. Very difficult. Some of the things you spoke about regarding the difficulties with your mom is what I felt. I remember praying for God to take her rather than her ruin her life. Eventually God answered prayer, she was able to marry a long time friend and he thankfully took good care of her. She died younger than she should have because she couldn't stop smoking cigarettes. I still miss her.

Oh wow, I'm sorry to hear this! My mom was also molested as a child, so that definitely played into her delusions. I'm really glad that your mom became a believer and found someone that was good to her. I still miss my mom too. I have moments where I think to call her to tell her something, like my about my son graduating. Then I remember she's not here and I get sad. I'm looking forward to being with her again though!

What a wonderful testimony. Thank you for sharing your story. I, also, lived a tough, young life and, although I never lost my belief in God, I thought he hated me (for decades...we are close in age). I came to Christianity at 43 (six years ago) and was baptized. And, yes, the hard times were worth it for that.
