I just thought about deliverance ministry. Does anyone know if one I can get involved in? Why do we go to church to just check it off our box list. Aren't we supposed to be ministering to each other. The world says there is no God, there are no demons. We all are dealing with stuff daily we aren't aware of. Thank u for all of the messages I am really meditating on them. Trying to listen to good worship music. One thing I remember is my grandpa. He had diabetes and struggled with depression. I know medication can help chemicals in our brains. He also hallucinationed alot. He was on 17 pills a day that doctors put him on. He lost 100 lbs and got off his diabetes medication which added years to his life, but I always known him to be depressed to the point he never smiled and always hung his head low. I remember him telling me about an experience he had so I felt I could relate, but I hated how he never smiled or laughed and felt bad for him. He was a Christian. Maybe it has something to do with it. I don't know. I just know it's a battle we all are facing. I'm exhausted. I know that I did not have this issue because of a lack of sleep. I have this issue therefore I have a lack of sleep. I slept like a baby and was well rested then last night I don't know what happened I just could not sleep. I didn't even get 10 min. I know that is not good. Sleep is important for mental health. anywho just trying to figure things out and be more aware of things. I never listened to the band or song incubus. I didn't even know what it meant. So the fact I heard unchristians always talking about it around me makes me wonder what the world happened. So I'm trying to find healing and some sort of deliverance ministry. There should be one for every church. If anyone knows of any you tube or anything that is biblically sound please let me know. My nervous system also needs to heal. A lot of my problems are nuerological. This is kind of a mystery to doctors.

I listened to two songs yesterday. "Mighty Warrior" by Bruna Olmeda and "Authority ( in the name of Jesus) by Stars go Dim. I slept like a baby. I woke up with" mighty warrior" in my mind.
There you go ! Glad to hear that .
I live with my parents. They are always in a bad mood and the dog barking its always loud in the house.
Can you get out and walk the dog or does someone else walk the dog ? It could help everyone's mood :Shining: .
My parents don't listen. I listen to them.
Communication issues , have you sat down and tried to resolve them talking with both of them ?
My mom gets annoyed if I talk to her and my dad has hearing problems.
Why do you think your mom get annoyed ?

Can you dad get hearing aids ? I am about your dad's age I surmise and I got hearing aids , it helped , and tell him you would like for him hear you again and you miss be able to communicate with him .
I get digestive issues and inflammation.
There are many supplements and things to try on both of these important issues , what have you tried ? I have had problems with both myself so maybe I can help you .
Please please please continue to pray for me. THANK you for prayers. It is much appreciated!!! ♡ thanks
Yes !

You need a prayer group, and you need people your age and an adult to ask questions, a mentor. A deliverance ministry is a gift of God and required skill and training, The gift is the Healing and laying on of hands. Everyone does not have this gift. But a prayer group of people your age, that meet relational balance is what you need. And the prayer of a righteous person avails much. James 5:16 - Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

That song "Mighty Warrior" has been playing in my head. I believe it's the only thing keeping my head above the waters. " elevated is my head above my enemies crown the King of glory." I also pray for the singer that she is not attacked by the enemy for singing that song. That everytime she sings it God protect her.

Hey Kayla, I'm so glad that you mentioned that you slept like a baby. I read that you had a seizure a few yrs ago and also spine surgery.. digestive issues- that last one is so very common these days thanks to a few reasons- the foods we eat for one.
A clean diet- free of chemicals and limiting grains and dairy- and herbal remedies and water kefir is a great way to go. Your system needs time to heal. There is a lot damage done to our digestive system and gut.

I'm wondering about the seizure- was that just once? What was the cause according to the doc? Are you medicated for prevention of seizures now?
Spinal nerve surgery- how did that go? Was it successful or do you still have pain? Any meds for that now?

I'm sorry to hear about your grandpop's depression. It is also in my family but they are not Christians.- They are all very medicated. I have found that when I focus on the Lord- that I am never depressed. Circumstances in life can be depressing if we try to face them alone. But we don't have to face anything alone. Doing so is a sure way to be down. I see all things as a learning time.
Knowing that this life will have tribulations should help us. There are some false teachers that will tell you that as Christians our problems of this life will go away and prosperity comes.
No. Truth is, as you know- we do suffer and we learn to be content and grateful for what we have. But depression as caused by a chemical imbalance has never ever been proven scientifically. Some people my hate hearing that but it's true nonetheless. Pharma is a drug seller and telling people that sells drugs. Those drugs cause other issues. And the circle goes of drug and another drug to counter effects of the first one and so on. I'm not saying that some people may need those- most do not.
For MOST people-Spending time in prayer and with other believers, physical activity, life with purpose, eating and sleeping well, sunshine or vit D supps in winter, all are good for well being. I was also raised in a family that wasn't happy. It doesn't have to be that way for you when you are old enough to be on your own. Our lives are what we make them. You may have some behaviors and ways of thinking that you've learned from your family that you will need to change... but you can do it! I have. Pray about that too.
I'm still praying for you, Kayla.
