Gods truth that Jesus bore all sin and sickness upon Himself. If we water down the work of the cross and the authority we have over the powers of darkness we deny Jesus in His fulness. I prayed once that God would answer this question for me as to "chemical imbalances" of the mind as it to me a conforming of the world veiw to beleive that its just that and that medication is the only resource available to give any kind of a somewhat distorted normal life. I had a God appointed meeting with whom i found out to be a leading lecturing psychiatrist of the university of sydney here in australia. Wow i thought, thank you Jesus, we spoke about "mental illnesses" and i boldly proclaimed it was all demonic oppression in one form or another and that the chemical imbalance was the fruit of the root. Then she looked at me in a bewildered way, i thought oh oh, and proceeded to tell me that if she could only lecture that from the lectern at the university. Herself not being a beleiver was important in itself during this meeting as it gave the oppurtunity to share the good news of the gospel with her that Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever. The Dr recieived Christ that day.
End of the chat she paid me $100 for the hour. lol God is good, all the time.
If we beleive that medical science is the answer you get what you beleive. Ive seen many people delivered from ""mental illness"... Just believe in the fullness of Christ and His minisrty, which by the way was 80% healing and delivering people. The mandate Jesus brought is
Isa 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
Isa 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
Isa 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
Isa 61:4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
Same spirit that lives in us, not i who lives but Christ who lives in me,,,
Lord I believe , help me with my unbelief, we all need to pray this daily
