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 53

I was so blessed by a friend who gave me your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” while I was sitting in church asking God to please help me learn more about Him and help me not to be so confused and scared. That was about 2 years ago. Your books have helped me to love God even more. I’m not confused or scared anymore! I have listened to all of your bible study classes and feel like I know the wonderful people that attend every week. Thank you for all that you’re doing in spreading the true message about God and His law of love. God bless you and your whole class.

Elssy P., Modesto, CA, USA

 

Testimony 3

My husband is a pastor and I listen to your lesson almost every week. Thank you for helping me in my study life and to help me love the “real” God more.

C. F., NC, USA

 

Testimony 4

I’m a youth leader in South Africa. We as a youth group are currently using a lot of the material on the Come and Reason site. Since we’ve started using the material, our youth group has grown.

R. V. N., South Africa

 

Testimony 43

Two years ago I stumbled upon your book, “Could It Be This Simple,” and then found “The God-Shaped Brain” videos on YouTube, your bible study class, and the ‘Come And Reason’ mobile app. I shared your book with a friend and after nine months of showing love, patience, and kindness this person has been changed by the love of God, too. The same love that healed me, I now express to other women in tangible ways, such as to a Baptist woman with high anxiety and childhood trauma. She was extremely happy and relieved when I shared about the so-called “judgment of God” and burning in hell. She had no desire to serve a God that was so harsh. I have repeated the phrase dozens of times to her. “What we believe has power over us, but we have power over what we believe…”

This message that you are sharing has changed my life. I will continue to serve other women and bring this message of God’s healing love to their lives by sharing your books, YouTube videos, and The Remedy Bible app. Keep up the good work. Don’t be discouraged. God is doing a mighty work in and through this ministry!

Jill L., Midwest, 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.

 

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 47

I can’t even begin to thank you and your ministry enough for introducing me to the Truth about a loving and merciful God! I have my daughter and her in-laws to thank for sharing with me “The God-Shaped Brain” as well as your website. I listen to the Bible study class lessons on my daily walk. May God continue to bless your thirst-quenching ministry!

Liz H., Port Angeles, WA, USA

 

 

Testimony 37

Hearing Dr. Jennings’ presentations in person came at a pivotal moment in my spiritual journey that began about nine months ago, when the fault lines inherent in my belief system began to crack under questions that most reasonable people end up asking about God and His nature. These were questions I couldn’t find answers to, and they shook my faith. I was unable let it go any longer and be satisfied. My Christian experience became distant. I was afraid; the fear in me rose like thorns, pushing me away from Jesus. And then someone heard my questions and introduced me to this ministry, and my life has totally changed.

I can tell you that this new, “present truth” message is far grander and life-changing than when I shifted from being an agnostic and then a nominal Christian. It has radically altered my worldview, because it reveals a God that makes sense. It is a revolution. I believe that Dr. Jennings’ message is the final message that must go to the world. If any message could be called “righteousness by faith,” as abused as that term is by the right and the left, this is that message, because Jennings’ biblical message identifies a God who is different, whose character isn’t an impossible contradiction.

I walk this path now without fear. I see people differently, and the Holy Spirit burns in my heart. Many call Dr. Jennings’ message false and compromising, but it isn’t false, because I’ve seen the fruits within my mind and body. It is not compromising, because in this message is the only road to holiness that makes any sense. No longer do I behold a pagan god who is always angry and suspicious. Instead, I behold a God who is freeing and loving, always working for our good, and giving me every reason to love my enemy even to my own death, just as Jesus pleads with us. God is good.

Anthony L., CA, USA

 

Testimony 24

I wanted to thank you very much for presenting your understanding of God. I’ve always been troubled by this question: Why did Jesus have to die? Since my conversion I understood that The Father & Jesus are one, I did not have issues with that. But was there not any other way to save us than for Jesus to die? I guess I actually had a question about God – if He is so wise, how come He did not find another way? I did not see the real ‘beauty’  in the cross. Only when you explained the picture in the medical context, Jesus providing medicine for my selfishness, have I started to finally ‘see the light’. Thank you so much. Your seminar, “Healing the Mind,” are absolutely marvelous & have shared them with my family and many other people, including colleagues at work. Thanks, thanks, thanks. May God bless you abundantly in your ministry.

M. W., Australia

 

Testimony 35

I am so pleased with the response your message is receiving at my church from the middle-aged to the young adults. I have given out 100 copies of the first two seminars and there are more request every week. One of my [class members] came to me after viewing the series, grateful and impressed with how easy the message was retained. He had been a Seventh-day Adventist in fear all his life, and felt like the scales were removed from his eyes after viewing the seminars. I am so impressed by the change I see in members who have received this message, we are in one accord. However, I am sadden by the negative response of the older people. I am verbally attacked anytime I talk about imposed laws, but I believe my mission is to enlightened everyone I can. I watch your Bible Study Class on YouTube every Friday night and I feel like I am apart of the class. All of you are in one accord and I am so blessed to have found you. I pray that all of you continue to spread this message and I am committed to doing my part.

Clara S., Westfield, MA, 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 62

I would like to express my thanks to the C&R team for creating a platform from which people can learn to trust in God and grow. My life is a witness to the effectiveness of this ministry. Without believing the truth about God as you have shown, I don’t know what my life would be like. I had given up on God helping me with certain sins – it was all useless. Given that the scripture is clear and God is so good, how could I have betrayed him so many times? I was a yo-yo christian; spinning up and down. My faith and enthusiasm was driven by discoveries/threats that prophecy is about to be fulfilled. But when I watched your “Healing the Mind” seminar, it was like a light finally went on. I could see God had no plan to hurt me, the danger came from sin, and that He is working to protect me and strengthen me. Thank you for allowing God to use you. The message God gave C&R saved my life!

Antony N. – Hobart, Australia

 

Testimony 60

Just watched watched lesson 10 in the 1st quarter 2021 bible study classs on Isaiah. I want to thank you for your intellectual spirituality; it’s not an oxymoron! From the point of view of a teacher I also enjoy seeing how much personal pleasure you clearly take in not just tasting, but feasting on God’s word – it reminds me of Jeremiah not being able to hold it in! It makes me smile that your cup is so full and overflowing that you make it to Tuesday’s lesson (on a good day). It just goes to show the richness of God’s Word.

God bless the Come and Reason Team from our church here in Great Britain.

Andrew H., Great Britain

 

Testimony 73

I have been truly blessed by your blogs and other resources. They have helped me to see things in a much brighter light and to reason things out better. Thank you so much for your ministry. Whenever I have the opportunity I pass along your material to my friends.

R. Noseworthy, Newfoundland, Canada
