HOOP EN GENESING VIR DIEGENE WAT MET ANGS SUKKEL

HOOP EN GENESING VIR DIEGENE WAT MET ANGS SUKKEL

Angs is vir die verstand wat pyn vir die liggaam is – dit is ‘n teken dat iets verkeerd is.

As jy iewers in jou liggaam pyn ervaar, is jou eerste gedagte nie: “Ek het ‘n pynversteuring en daarom het ek pynmedikasie nodig nie.” Nee, jou eerste gedagte is: “Wat is fout?”

Pyn veroorsaak dat ‘n mens die oorsaak van die pyn evalueer – is dit ‘n doring, ‘n gaatjie in my tand, ‘n blaas, ‘n breuk, ‘n verstuiting, ‘n skaafplek, ‘n kramp, ‘n hartaanval of iets anders? Pyn is ontwerp om ons aanduiding te gee wanneer iets nie funksioneer soos dit moet nie, sodat ons die probleem vinnig kan aanspreek, die veroorsakende bron kan verwyder en meer ernstige beserings kan voorkom. En wanneer die oorsaak van die pyn aangespreek word en genesing plaasvind, verdwyn die pyn.

Angs dien dieselfde doel. Dit waarsku ons dat iets verkeerd is sodat ons die onderliggende probleem kan aanspreek, beserings kan verminder en genesing kan ervaar. En net soos pyn ‘n byna oneindige aantal oorsake kan hê, geld dit vir angs ook. Oorsake van angs kan fisiologies wees – soos hipertireose; verhoudingsgebaseer – ‘n egskeiding of verbrokkeling; eksistensieel – die dood van ‘n geliefde; sielkundig – negatiewe denkpatrone, soos valse oortuigings van “Ek is nie goed nie; niemand sal my ooit liefhê nie;” emosionele – disfunksionele verhoudings; geestelik – onopgeloste skuldgevoelens en skaamte of versuim om God te vertrou met die onbekende (toekoms, uitkomste, ens.); omstandighede – toekomstige straf of objektiewe dreigemente; gekondisioneerde reaksies – aangeleerde reaksies van vorige angswekkende ervarings en onopgeloste trauma.

Angs, soos pyn, waarsku ons nie net dat iets verkeerd is nie, maar dit motiveer ons ook om op te tree, om iets te doen om die angs op te los. Met fisiese pyn is die mees algemene aanvanklike reaksie om die oorsaak te identifiseer en op te los, maar met angs neem mense dikwels ‘n ander pad. In plaas daarvan om vas te staan, die angs te verdra en te probeer om die bron daarvan te identifiseer en op te los, soek mense veels te dikwels slegs simptoomverligting – deur medikasie, alkohol, dagga, dwelms, trooskos, vermaak, plesiersoeke van verskillende soorte, opwindinge soeke, oordra van die angs op ander, vertroosting in die arms van ander, ontkenning en verdraaiing, oordrewe versigtigheid, godsdienstigheid, die strewe na beheer (veral oor ander), reëlhouding, en meer.

Die keuse om angs weg te medikeer in plaas daarvan om die kernoorsaak daarvan op te los, is aansienlik vererger deur die besigheidswêreld van medisyne (gesondheidsorg as ‘n winsgewende bedryf) en die invloed van groot farmaseutiese produkte, wat gelei het tot ‘n verwronge filosofie dat sielkundige, verhoudings-, geestelike en bestaans kwessies effektief met ‘n pil behandel kan word. Dit het ‘n generasie mense geskep wat op dwelms is om simptome van angs te bestuur eerder as om die angs te herken as ‘n aanpasbare sein wat bedoel is om hulle te motiveer om die onderliggende oorsaak aan te spreek en op te los, en sodoende nie net die probleem te genees nie, maar ook geestelike en emosionele hanteringsvaardighede op te doen, om volwasse te word en te ontwikkel deur verskeie lewensprobleme te oorkom en op te los.

Die Bybel leer,

Al kry ons nou baie swaar, vat dit glad nie ons blydskap weg nie. Allesbehalwe. Ons weet mos dat swaarkry ons vorm en slyp om nog meer op God te vertrou. En wanneer ons onverskrokke op God vertrou, help dit ons om ’n sterk Christelike karakter te vorm. En ’n sterk Christelike karakter maak dat ons deur dik en dun glo dat God se nuwe wêreld op ons wag (Romeine 5:3, 4 DB’06).

Miljoene probeer nie net die oorsaak van hul angs vermy nie, maar veels te veel gesondheidspraktisyns is opgelei deur ‘n misleide mediese onderrigstelsel – nie net mislei deur die winsgewende motief nie, maar ook deur die goddelose evolusionêre filosofie wat die betekenis van die meeste dinge verkeerd interpreteer, die bestaan van God ontken en sodoende mense afsny van geestelike en Bybelse oplossings, wat die angs vergroot en mense met die valse oortuiging laat dat die enigste opsie farmaseuties is – om mense wat met angs sukkel met ‘n versteuring te diagnoseer en dan ‘n medikasie voor te skryf om die simptoom van angs te behandel eerder as om die oorsaak van die angs te identifiseer en te verstaan en op te los.

Met ander woorde, moderne medisyne leer gesondheidsorgpraktisyns om angs as ‘n versteuring op sigself te sien eerder as ‘n simptoom van iets anders.

Maar dit sal wees soos om ‘n longontstekingpasiënt met koors, hoes en kouekoors te behandel met aspirien, ‘n hoesonderdrukker en ‘n kombers sonder om ooit die infeksie te behandel. Of dit sou wees soos om iemand met ‘n gat in die tand met pynmedisyne te behandel, maar nooit die holte te vul nie.

Ja, wanneer mense fisiese pyn het, is daar ‘n regverdige gebruik van pynmedikasie. Ons kan dankbaar wees dat die tandarts Novocain gebruik terwyl hy die holte vul! Maar as die tandarts slegs medisyne gegee het om die pyn te verlig, sou die ingryping meer skade aanrig deur te verhoed dat die pasiënt besef dat ‘n patologiese proses besig is om te versprei en sodoende die identifisering en oplossing van die oorsaak vertraag.

Net so, met angs, is daar baie kere wanneer medikasie nodig is om die angs genoeg te verminder sodat die pasiënt die oorsaak kan identifiseer en aanspreek. Maar as ons die simptoom van angs as die siekte bestempel, en in plaas daarvan om die oorsaak daarvan aan te spreek, probeer ons slegs die simptoom verlig (deur alkohol, dagga, kos, plesier, farmaseutiese produkte, ens.), terwyl die patologie wat die angs veroorsaak, vererger, en eerder as om te help, dra ons by tot die disfunksie en verergering van die algehele verloop.

Die benadering tot angs wat slegs poog om die simptome te verlig, belemmer ontwikkeling, volwassenheid van karakter, outonomie en selfvoorsiening. Mense leer nie hoe om die uitdagings van die lewe die hoof te bied nie, en in plaas daarvan om die geestelike en emosionele krag, vaardigheid en vermoë te besit om vas te staan, deur die emosies te werk, die oorsaak te identifiseer en aanpasbare, intelligente, redelike en effektiewe besluite te neem, soek hulle “veilige ruimtes” waar hulle die gevoelens kan vermy en voorgee dat hulle gesond is.

Ware genesing vereis dat ons die werklikheid hanteer – dit wat waar is, wat werklik gebeur; dus, as ons mense met angs wil help, moet ons verder gaan as net die simptoom en die oorsaak probeer identifiseer en dit dan uit te skakel. Dit is wat ons by Honey Lake Clinic doen.

Honey Lake Clinic is ‘n holistiese residensiële behandelingsentrum waarin ons mense help om die onderliggende oorsake van hul angs te identifiseer en op te los. Ons behandel die hele persoon, verstand, liggaam en gees, met bewese, werklikheidsgebaseerde ingrypings wat mense help om herstel tot welstand te ervaar – om in harmonie te wees met die wette van gesondheid, die protokolle waarop die lewe gebou is om te bestaan en te funksioneer

So as jy of iemand vir wie jy lief is, sukkel met onophoudelike angs wat met die lewe inmeng en gesondheid ondermyn, as jy gesukkel het om oplossings te vind wat genesing bring, en jy wil ‘n intensiewe, Christus-gesentreerde holistiese behandelingsprogram hê, oorweeg Honey Lake Clinic as ‘n terapeutiese opsie.

Die volgende keer as jy angs ervaar, tree terug en vra: “Wat is die oorsaak? Waarteen probeer die angs my waarsku? Wat is die probleem wat ek moet aanspreek om die angs te laat verdwyn?” Is dit fisies, sielkundig, verhoudingsgebaseer, geestelik of omstandigheidsgebaseer? En soek dan God, sy wysheid, metodes en beginsels, en volg ‘n pad wat ontwerp is om die oorsaak op te los, nie net die simptoom te verlig nie.

Testimony 58

I have been watching your videos in The Power of Love seminar and I must say these have liberated me and have improved my relationship with the Lord. I am no longer terrified of him as I was before following your teachings.

Thando N., South Africa

 

Testimony 17

The blessings of clarity and understanding you and your class inspire me to take from the word of God have impressed upon me so greatly the true, loving character of our Creator. I have found amazing freedom and joy through building a stronger, more intentional relationship with Him. What is new is that this is now a relationship built on love, reverence and respect rather than fear and obligation, and as such my eyes have been slammed OPEN as I am continually impressed by the manifestations of God’s true character in His provisions for fallen man.

T.E.H., Salt Lake City, UT, USA

 

Testimony 28

I have been following your Bible study class for about a year now. I must say I am impressed with how your ministry has grown. I took it upon myself to listen to all your lesson podcasts from the past and they have both enriched me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I have learnt a lot from this class. I have also noticed how the class has grown in spiritual strength. One of the things that benefited me is that now I am not afraid of God. I use to be, but now it has melted away. The second thing is that you helped me to have a real life relationship with God. Now He is my friend that was always there and I love having him with me all the time. Thirdly, because of this class, it inspired me to take over and lead a class. I have called it “Let Us Reason Together,” adapting your inquisitive style and creating a class of free thinkers.

T. Banda, Malawi, Africa

 

Testimony 33

I was invited over a friend’s house to see the “God and Your Brain” seminar today. I became [a christian] 36 years ago at the age of 19, but have struggled with the concept of God taking His ‘pound of flesh’ out on His Son to be appeased. Wow. Your seminar has been an incredible revelation and breath of reason and fresh air! I have your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” and it is SO eye opening. Finally, after 36 years enlightenment has come! Praise the Good Lord! What can I say, but that the Real Gospel is truly “Good News!” Thank you for your efforts in giving the Gospel a clear sound!

Paul C.,  Springfield, MA, USA

 

Testimony 12

I have been really blessed reading your response to the various questions on your site.

K.C., OH, USA

 

Testimony 52

Your unique way in spreading the truth is what we all need today. Most of us don’t recognize the contamination coming from all the lies and selfishness in the world. Because of our fear of death, we forgot how to live. Lies left and right. I was losing hope and faith, because of so many ideas that are always contradicting each other – so many questions answered by other, more complicated, questions – until I found your channel on YouTube.

You did not just give me answers, you also taught me how to answer new questions that arise in my mind. Now I see things differently. I see God’s mercy, grace, and Love everywhere, in spite of all the chaos that we all have done as humans. I don’t fear death anymore. Accepting the Truth and Love about God is truly a genuine Freedom from all the confusions, sufferings, selfishness, pain, and death.

I just wanted to say, thank you, sooooo much for revealing the real Remedy for our infected life. I have a new hope and now see the world in a different perspective!

Wheinny P., University Place, WA, USA

 

Testimony 64

I’ve been reading the bible and walking with Jesus since I was around 16. I’m 42 now. I’ve mostly been alone in my walk although I went to several churches in different denominations. For the past 3 years God has been showing me His character of agape. It’s been a blessing and changed how I view God and my walk with Jesus. About a year ago I came across the power of love and the principles of design law. These teachings changed how I read scripture and have been such a beautiful blessing. I’m very excited and grateful for these truths. We share these truths of agape, design law and the reality of the principles of the two trees in the garden of Eden with people on Facebook and YouTube. People all over are learning to trust God and His agape design law which makes life possible. Thank you for everything you shared with me. May God continue to bless your ministry and lives.

Bradley M., Hinsdale, NY, USA

 

Testimony 32

The message [of Come And Reason Ministries is] for all Christians (and those who may become Christians) and not just Adventists or any other group. It is difficult to imagine why any [anyone] with intellectual and spiritual honesty could find fault with the way you explained the healing substitution concepts and the truth about God’s character, though I know some will reject and criticize. On behalf of those in our group near Tacoma, WA, thank you and your staff for all of the hard work and for sharing the Gospel in this manner. God’s message of healing love will be carried to the whole world and then Jesus will come – He promised it.

Terry U., Tacoma, WA, USA

 

Testimony 71

When I was 9 years old, I remember setting at our devotional table with a hunger and thirst for God that wanted more, deeper, BETTER. I can remember literally crying and pounding on the table, “I know these teachers didn’t mean to give us error. They taught what THEY had been TAUGHT, but didn’t ANYBODY READ THE BOOK?!?!?” It mattered to me then. It mattered to me as a teenager. It matters now as I teach bible classes. It didn’t have to be so hard as I watched so many give up and lay God’s great plan and gift of salvation aside as being “impossible.” Then, a friend sent me a link to Come And Reason’s website. I grew excited. YES! FINALLY! Then another friend told me to stay away, saying her son had just broken up with a girl because she was involved with Come And Reason and that “Tim Jennings preaches a false gospel.” But, AFTER many years of developing an authentic and, dare I say FUN relationship with Jesus, through the Holy Spirit I see this message has been around a LONG time, since the apostle Paul, Ellen White, Graham Maxwell, Ray Foucher, and yourself (though I admit, you’ve made me back up, rewind and replay the clips, and get out my well-worn Bible on a few things.) I’m so thankful I have found LIGHT during these DARK days. I am not alone.

Testimony 18

The Healing the Mind DVD set tarted me on a journey that has changed my relationship with our loving God more significantly than any other study, and brought me to your book and Bible study podcasts, which I now listen to daily, thanks to the availability of archived content on your site and on iTunes.

I have been sharing Come And Reason Ministries Bible study lessons with several folk. You have such a beautiful view of the plan of salvation. If we had this message preached when I was young, my generation would still all be in church.

H. R., New Zealand

We really appreciate your views on the judgment and they make good sense considering our free choice.

Testimony 25

I just want to say thank you so much for your conversations via YouTube. I regularly tune in to your lectures, “Let’s Talk” sessions, and many others. Through these I’ve found greater depth and meaning to God’s word. Thanks for all that you do and please continue. I’m currently working in the middle of Silicon Valley at Stanford University. I feel like God really has me in the right place right now and I’m sensing that your teachings might be part of it.

B. F., Silicon Valley, CA, USA

 

Testimony 68

Your message of design law vs imperial law is so uplifting and makes so much sense- it is a game changer for me. The fact that Jesus’s death is not a big payment by an angry God is , quite frankly, a relief.

Laura G., London, Ontario, Canada

 

Testimony 41

I have been blessed by your ministry. I have experienced personally, and deeply resonate with, the God of love and the beautiful picture of God’s character that you present. I have seen your seminar series on YouTube, read ‘The Journal of the Watcher’ book, used your mobile app, and also listen/study the bible study lesson with you each week. I concur with many of the thoughts and perspectives that you share. I understand your conclusions on natural laws vs imposed law and the legal/penal substitution (incorrect diagnosis). This makes perfect sense to me.

Bless you for all you do.

Melissa L.
