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 69

After reading your book, ‘Could It Be This Simple,’ someone was explaining Christianity in a way that made sense to me for the first time in my life. One morning, I simply prayed “I’m sorry and I love you.” As soon as I silently said that, I could literally feel God’s presence and light flood down on me from above and fill me up with love and joy. I sat there crying my eyes out, because I was so overpowered with this feeling of love and joy. It was just so incredible. I hope that more people can read this book and get a blessing from it. It’s really amazing.

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.

I got the book “Could It Be This Simple?” a few months ago and the reading was wonderful and I was fascinated. I lent the book to a friend at work. She is having a difficult time and the book is helping her to find Jesus and I found this very exciting. She has asked me questions and I can see her life changing.

Testimony 51

I Love This Ministry!!!!!!! I see first hand how this message is desperately needed, how erroneous beliefs about God and His Character negatively affect humanity at every level. I thank God for your ministry, as I was searching on my own and was discovering some of your same beliefs and was blown away when I found your ministry. I know you hear it all the time, but it is truly life changing. May God continue to reveal His Will to you and Bless you!

Testimony 59

I’m a native Ghanan, but am currently in France for my master’s degree. Prior to this, during my final years at undergraduate studies in Ghana, I was introduced to your ministry and I’ve been immensely blessed by what you share, especially about the Design and Imposed Laws. God richly bless you for that.

One of the first things I did when I arrived in France was to buy all four of your books. They not only helped me, but those I shared them with. I shared the message with an atheist student and I marveled at how God worked mightily in his life. Today this person shares the Love of God with others and debunks theories of who God is not. I want to share what you present in your “Heavenly Sanctuary and Investigative Judgment” pamphlet, because the message brought rest to my soul and I live today as a healthy person.

God bless you so much and your ministry.

Testimony 31

It was very touching to hear the testimony of your class share how viewing God’s true character has changed their lives. My feelings are the same – there is so much freedom in knowing that God LOVES me – regardless of my… just, REGARDLESS! I’m still blown away by the true gospel, the fact that God is not ready to strike us when we fail. He is not arbitrary. He simply loves us and warns of the natural consequences because He can’t stand to see us suffer. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS GOD!!!

Testimony 61

I grew up in a prominent protestant church and had what I like to call religious anxiety. I’ve always had questions about God and Salvation that no one could seem to answer.  I didn’t know how to find resolution. During 2020, at the height of my anxiety, I fell to my knees and begged God to show me truth and light and to give me the hope that I’ve been longing for. Days later, I stumbled upon your online videos and it was like a veil was lifted and EVERYTHING made sense! For the first time in my almost 39 years of life, my religious/spiritual anxiety has lessened. I feel a sense of freedom and peace I’ve NEVER had before… and it’s all because my view of God has changed. Thank you!

Testimony 66

I am incredibly grateful for the transformative impact you’ve had on my life, and words cannot fully express my appreciation. Over the years, I have been an avid listener and follower of C&R and extend my heartfelt thanks for creating the C&R mobile app. It has allowed me to immerse myself in your lessons repeatedly, enabling me to grasp the profound significance about the Character of God, Design Law, the protocols for life, the reasons behind the current chaos, and Christ’s mission to restore everything. They have deeply touched me. Having studied with various churches, I came away with the perception that God is no different from the deities of ancient Greek or Roman mythology—demanding sacrifices and taking pleasure in bloodshed. Thanks to your transformative teachings, I have experienced a profound awakening to the true nature of God and the immense power of His love. It is truly a remarkable and liberating sensation to finally grasp the truth and embrace the empowering nature of God’s laws. My self-perception has become brighter and more infused with love. My journey of growth continues on a daily basis.

Testimony 65

I have been tuning into your weekly study classes for a while now and wanted express my appreciation for the teachings that ha been a huge blessing in opening up the true message of the word. Viewing scripture under an imposed law theory always, without fail, raised more questions, concerns, and conflicting scripture interpretations that were discouraging at the very least. Looking at scripture through the design law lens has brought more truth to light for me personally and an understanding of our Heavenly Father that places Him “above all others,” where I am now more than thrilled to witness and serve Him.  I “stumbled” across this ministry a year or so ago and would only watch a few minutes at a time. But the more I listened and the longer I paid attention, the more my spiritual eyes were opened to the ever present truths of scripture. The comprehension of the great controversy and it’s origin by the lies perpetrated and perpetuated throughout the Bible on the attack of God’s character and government is truly priceless. Keep up the Good Work! Your servanthood is desperately needed in such a time as this!

Testimony 46

Over the past couple of years God has been expanding my view of Himself and His character. Along my approximately 40-year journey, I have often had questions, but was hesitant to voice these and step outside the traditionally accepted thinking, for fear of admitting that I may in fact be eternally lost. In the recesses of my thinking has been the thought – if one blindly accepts (which is widely regarded as “real faith”) and does not question, is this really ‘truth?’ I often find it challenging to grapple with very theological ‘speak,’ but Dr. Jennings has a real gift of explaining spiritual concepts with clear practical examples. The weekly discussions are growing my Christian experience and slowly changing my view of how to live as a child of God in today’s complex world. Finally the whole Old Testament sanctuary teaching moved in my mind from fantasy to reality!

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!
