Health and Healing Dealing with Trauma and Addictions
Hello, welcome to the podcast of health and healing in the areas of addiction and abuse, with Michael. My passion and interest started with becoming aware that many of us have childhood traumas that we carry into our adult lives, but we didn't have them addressed or never acknowledged that we had an addiction or a mental illness. Some of the abuses, we suffered were slight or verbal that we just wrote off, other abuses were kept in secret for many years. Now we want to expose those lie-based beliefs, through tools and partnering with the Holy Spirit to help us heal those traumas and Illnesses to become whole. Hurt people hurt people, so we must seek ways to heal so that we can assist others in their healing processes. Disclaimer: * I am not a doctor or professional therapist. However, I am licensed and an ordained Minister, who's interest was piqued as it related to my personal journey and struggles with addictions and abuses that found their way into every aspect of my life unknowingly. God knows I'm a work in progress. Come along as we heal together.
Health and Healing Dealing with Trauma and Addictions
Don’t believe the lies of Satan.
2 Thessalonians 2:9–12
The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sort of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason, God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
Satan’s first move was to entice the women to doubt God’s Word, and his strategy was to ask by means of the snake, “Has God really said?” (Gen. 3:1). People have been falling for this deception ever since. When they hear one of God’s clear commands, they rationalize that it’s not really what He meant, or it doesn’t apply in their case. When temptation comes, don’t believe Satan’s lies! Sin always has repercussions. Satan is constantly seeking to fill our minds with destructive thoughts—whether fear, worry, insecurity, anxiety, temptation, envy, and others.
It’s too easy for him to manipulate his way into your mind. We've allowed lies to command others to accept our lie and life simply because we don’t think it’s a lie.
You can live your life and lie and accept lies, but can you leave me out of it? We all have to stand before the judgement seat of God. (I believe) I can extend grace to you (without judgement), for you to do you, can you extend the same grace to me, to do me?
Anxiety can trigger depression and other behavioral physical and mental health issues. It is especially hard if you are dealing with other personal, work, relationship, or family-related issues. It is okay to ask for help.
