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 38

Since November 2015, when I started studying Gods word from this God Is Love point of view, my life has been transformed. My troubled marriage of 15 years has been healed and my husband and I are truly happy for the first time in 15 years. Now When I read the word of God I understand it so much better and I can’t help but see Gods love radiating through the pages to humanity. Gods word is living and active and I am blessed beyond measure to be having this amazing experience. God has given me a beautiful understanding of Jn 3:16 that amazes me more and more each day. Thank you again for your ministry.

Helen D., London, England

 

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.

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 5

We listen to your bible studies lessons in our class in Montana. You actually were the main reason I decided to get a laptop, so I can go to your site and listen, read, learn, and print the class notes. I am so grateful to learn the correct view of God and his character. Now, to just have others have an interest in knowing, so I can share it with them. Good thoughts your way.

R. N., MT, USA

 

Testimony 9

I really enjoy with you the view of a gracious God. Thank you for sharing the work you are allowing the Lord to do in you.

L., Queensland, Australia

 

Testimony 36

Thank you and may God continue to bless you as you share with others the intricacies of how we are all “fearfully and wonderfully made”. I must share that you have opened a whole new world to me, and I have found tremendous healing through what you have shared in two of your books, “Could It Be This Simple?” and “The God Shaped Brain.” I praise God for what you shared, what I have learned, and how I have grown and healed! My prayer is that My Precious Jesus will be seen by others in the way I live, act, talk, etc. and they may be encouraged to know He is truly a GREAT God of LOVE, desiring that no one should perish! God Bless you in your continued endeavors to present Him as He really is!

Testimony 67

I was introduced to Come And Reason by a friend of my mother-in-law, who gave me several CD’s of Dr. Jennings. The clarity of the message and recognition that God’s is a God of love was so clear, advancing beyond Dr. Maxwell’s message. However, grappled with Maxwell saying God used emergency measures for the fallen world. Now after several years of being a regular listener of the Come And Reasoning bible study class and attending Jennings’ meetings in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, things are becoming clearer for me. Design law versus imposed law has added so much to my personal understanding of theology. This message has really impacted my work in counseling so many people miserable because they are searching for and trusting human governments to create order and peace or believing in a God who says love Me or I will kill you. I am grateful that I have an alternative view to offer my clients that makes sense. I teach a bible study class on a semi-regular basis and I value the materials that Come And Reason so freely offers to aid me in presenting this vital message. Thank you for continuing to provide advancement in our very limited understanding of a Infinite God that is rational and believable.

Dr. Roger D, Arlington, TX, USA

 

Testimony 63

I’ve been very blessed by “The God Shaped Brain” and this ministry, through video and podcast, over the last few years. It’s truly opened up my eyes more to the truth about God and the importance of that truth in the present world. The message is so inviting, freeing and enlightening and MORE people need to know about it. I believe it is the last message that can truly, not only prepare a people for salvation and translation, but vindicate the character of God.

Michael V., Yonkers, NY, USA

 

Testimony 70

I have been watching you for many years and have learned to love God with all my heart. I was raised by a loving Christian mother that had been lied to about who God really was, so our religious upbringing was hell fire and damnation. As soon as I was old enough and moved out, I not only left the church, I ran as fast as I could to get away from it. Sad to say, it wasn’t until the past couple of years that I learned and understand who my Father really is and how much He loves me. I understand God’s Design Laws (which make sense) and when I’m teaching my church Bible study class, I’m able to really put to use the things I’ve been learning and Holy Spirit is leading. Thank you for introducing me to my Father of true, pure love. Everyday with Him is new and exciting. One thing that breaks my heart is that I didn’t know Him sooner. God Bless you and your ministry!

Judy Phelps, Reno, NV, USA

Testimony 39

[This ministry is the] biggest blessing I have ever received! Your DVDs and lessons could not have come at a better time in my life. I have experienced in the past year many difficulties that, if it wasn’t for this wonderful view of God that I have discovered through this ministry, I would not have been able to respond in love and forgiveness. My heart is being transformed everyday by the Calvary-looking God you teach. Hallelujah!! I have tears in my eyes as I write, because my life has taken a complete turn from where I was heading.

I am from Central America. Most of my family is scattered in different parts of the world and all have the same view of God that I had growing up; a distant, exacting, and ready-to-punish-us-with-tragedy type of God. So, I have been translating lessons for my family and, to my surprise, they have also been sharing them with others! I can already see the difference. My brother has often said, “Thank you for sharing, I have never heard it this way!” My other family members are taking an amazing turn from a message of “repent or burn” towards a loving God, pleading to us that we won’t reject him because he loves us eternally.

Bless you for all you do.

Sofia S., Ashfield, MA, USA

 

Testimony 26

Your teachings about our heavenly Father have changed my life. Thank you sooooooo very very much! I know He’s doing some serious healing in my heart and life and I look forward to each new day to learn something new about Him and to just hear you speak about Him. Thank you, forever.

Nancy S.

 

Testimony 57

You have helped make sense of thirty two years of confusion. The material you freely provide reorganized so much of my life into such a beautiful pattern that has always been hinted at from within, but misguided with my training and what I was experiencing externally. My filipno parents, who were converted from Catholicism to SDA, were sincere and did their best to raise me the right way and I have deep respect for them. However, being immigrants and not understanding the language made for a difficult transition as I was growing up, which also applied to my spiritual growth as I learned the patterns of religion. I have been listening to as many bible study classes and reading blog posts as my time in a work truck will allow, searching for the practical applications of where spirituality and reality meet, and I thank you for helping me find that. You have helped me reach a point in which I can truly say that I love God, that I believe He loves me, and, like David, I delight in His law. God bless.

Emmanuel V., Calgary, AB Canada

Testimony 76

Warm greetings from Tanzania! I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team at Come And Reason Ministries for the amazing work you do. Your teachings have opened my eyes to deep biblical truths and how to live them out in real life. I started following the ministry back in 2018, and ever since, my walk with God has grown so much stronger. I’ve found freedom from fear-based faith and now live with more peace and trust in Him. I’ve also been sharing what I’ve learned, especially through Bible School discussions. Your lessons are so insightful and well-explained that I try not to miss a single one. May God continue to bless the work you’re doing.
Elisha M., Tanzania, Africa

Testimony 20

I just wanted to personally thank you for your teachings and insight into scripture. I came across your website via my cousin who suggested I look into “Healing the Mind” information. My youngest daughter has been struggling over the last couple of years and it all came to a head this spring. When I started listening to the “Healing the Mind” lectures my own life began to be transformed. I began sharing with all my daughters the concepts you laid out so clearly. I ordered your book and soaked it up. I just want to say “Thank You!” My walk with the Lord has been refreshed and renewed. Your obedience to the Lord is a blessing to so many.

R. K., Anderson, SC, USA

 

Testimony 49

I came into the church at 21, but that is as far as it went. I was so confused about what love is. I couldn’t find it in the bible, because I am not a person that can read between the lines. I have no logic. I have read many, many books; trying to figure out the crux of the matter. They were helpful, but something was still missing. I have become very frustrated to the point of crying out to God, “Where can I go?”  I needed some basics.

I found two books, written by Timothy Jennings, MD, to be very helpful. God showed me that I had lived my whole life in fear. I didn’t even see it. Now, I do. God is so good.  I discovered the “The Remedy”  Dr. Jennings new book, “The God-Shaped Heart!” Oh, I was so excited, I purchased them right away.

I can get rid of most of my books, because “The Remedy” brings the Love of God out so clearly, even I can’t miss it. Now, I want to sit and read my Bible. Wow, what a revelation! It is just simply Awesome! I am so grateful to Jehovah Almighty for hearing my prayer for more understanding! I am so encouraged!

Jackie S.
