I almost attempted suicide because I thought that being a christian and following christ meant I had to give up all sin and be literally sinless and I couldnt figure out why it was nearly impossible for me to do it. God gave me the revelation that saved my life. planning to write a book of my experience. God Bless!

[@NoraHeartfix]

Can u tell more about the revelation u got:)?

[@thecrew777]

The only way a Christian can be sinless is once we are glorified. We still sin, after we are saved. The difference - this is vital - is that when you sin as a Christian, it bothers you. Before you were a Christian you hardly noticed when you sin. I'd also like to add: being suicidal is not a "sin" as much as it's a sign of extreme hopelessness. And of course, most of us have heard that "no Christian should be hopeless". Okay, we're not talking about not believing in Christ hopelessness, we're talking about extreme depression hopelessness. Those are two different things. It CAN be organic, meaning you were born with that particular problem. Just like being born without hearing or sight (deaf or blind). That is not a sin, is it? It's good to seek help, and unfortunately, secular therapy is still more helpful by far than Christians or pastors, etc. mostly because Christians think that physical illness isn't your fault, but somehow mental illness is. So go avail yourself of the help that is available: secular therapists. And pray that some Christian would start talking about this as not a "sin" but an illness as much as any other illness. Who would say getting Covid, for instance, is a "sin"? That would be ridiculous. It's just as ridiculous to claim that a mental illness such as depression with or without suicidal thoughts is a "sin".

[@heyitslia4]

there's a song that has been helpful for Christians who struggle with this. It's called The Last Night by Skillet. If you listen to the words, it's very powerful and Christian based.

[@glacia15]

@@NoraHeartfix hi sorry such a late reply. I discovered that the whole Christian perfectionist movement was not a biblical doctrine and in fact it borders on cultish behaviors and Christianity is not a cult it's a faith based religion and not works based. As humans we are not sinless in our flesh but will one day we will be free from all sin

[@livingunashamed4869]

Good video, I made a vid on this recently. You never know what God will allow you to struggle with. No matter how long or what season we're in we should still be thankful and glorify Him. Just because you struggle doesn't mean your faith isn't strong enough.

[@DailyDisciple]

I just want to say thank you so much for this video. I really needed to hear this because I struggle with anxiety so much and every day is a battle. I've always felt like I am a failure as a christian because of it but I'm not. God is working in my life and everyone else who does struggle. So thank you for being honest. God bless. 🙏

Most days I'm fine but my bad days can be very bad.

[@rhyegabrielse4688]

Thank you for this Isaac. There are so many videos online that try to give you this magic “pill” to heal you of mental illnesses like Anxiety and Depression, and they can be great and helpful, but they sometimes miss the mark on what people like I need to console us. To pat us on the back, to embrace us. This video is exactly what that is. Thank you Isaac, again, for allowing God to speak through you and to use you for His glory. This video helped me in more ways than you know. 💕

I just found your channel early in the morning when I was feeling so anxious and like God was mad at me... I watched your Rhett and link video and I felt like you were talking to me at the end. I too have crippling anxiety, I always think I’m going to hell, that I’ll never please God, that my faith isn’t true, I’m doing something wrong, etc. I really think God spoke to me through you, I cried!!!! Thank you for what you do, and having the courage to speak up. Thank you. God is working in you.

You are not crazy, you have been hurt by others and it’s not your fault. Someday God will make everything right and He will be there to comfort you because He loves you. Please never forget that you are His child because of Jesus Christ and that He will send the Holy Spirit to help you when you need Him.

I feel guilty and scared because I cannot do the things God commands. I get depression and miss church, I use entertainment for distraction, many Christian’s told me my illness was ALL DEMONS and that I became mentally I’ll because of my prior substance abuse sin. The Bible says we’re to be perfect and I’m not perfect. I messed up my walk early, but it seems Jesus didn’t forsake me, because sometimes I feel His presence. I really wish Christian’s wouldn’t demonize SMI and call medicine sorcery. I’ve been through it all! I really need His love and not condemnation or performance otientated faith

[@oofydoom]

[@chronicghosts]

ty for this.. i take medication for extreme OCD and often worry i’m somehow sinning or disappointing God because of it

[@chrisfieramosca]

Same here man

[@thecrew777]

It is NO more a sin to take a medication for a diagnosed mental health problem than it is to take an aspirin for a headache, or have the doctor give you a heavy pain reliever in the hospital after surgery. Please, read that again - as many times as you need to. Just be honest - brutally honest - with the doctor and that way the doctor can treat the real issue.

[@Kittensforchrist]

My Pastor said my meds are sorcery and to repent and stop taking stuff. I get it but geez idk I hate this predicament

[@laurawilson5666]

Thank you for addressing this. I've struggled with this and still do especally when I get "triggered" by something or someone. I would love to be able to share more about this with you.

[@lemogradient7526]

As a Christian who's struggling with anxiety as well, this is really helpful for me...it's like a friend who's talking me through my feelings and thoughts right now. I have trouble pinpointing what I feel, and I don't exactly know how to word out what I'm thinking and feeling most of the time...and it's really difficult navigating my thoughts while still being discerning as to where the boundary lies when I'm being too much already. My anxiety spikes here and there, sometimes I don't know why it spikes, or sometimes I get triggered by the simplest of things, and I just feel really overdramatic and overbearing... I believe God meets me at those times, although it's difficult to hold unto those moments, but amidst the unstable things in my life, He has been the only constant thing holding me intact, comforting me and sitting with me through it. I constantly long for Heaven...living is tiring sometimes but I know the Lord is able to give rest to those who are weary, and so I walk forward still, holding unto that hope.

[@jordyn_shorts]

I feel so tired of everything. I'm having doubts about God that I don't want there. I'm pretty sure it's turning into unbelief atp. I feel like my heart is hardening. I don't feel like praying, worshipping, or reading the bible. I have so many questions about so many things regarding Christianity that no one wants to answer. Of course, for obvious reasons I'm not going to talk about my personal life, but im going through some things that just seem too hard to get over. I feel like there's no hope left. I have all these visions of what I want. Peace, happiness, love, friends, etc my mind feels stuck. I know where I want to go but my mind says no. I'm a minor, so even if I wanted to get help, I just don't feel like opening up to anyone. No one gets it. I don't want to die, but I'm also tired of living like this. It's a constant battle in my mind.

It was weird. When I was on medication I found it way easier to follow the Lord and trust in him and be his disciple. Well now, living without my medication I’m living in a constant state of fear. It’s crazy how someone can go from trusting God one minute to not at all the next

[@ashleyboyd669]

One day I hope God can work on me enough that I can openly speak out about how hard it is being a Christian with borderline personality disorder. It’s a beautiful thing because u learn to cling to God so much harder as u want to recover. But the persecutory intrusive thoughts u get with this. And delusions u may not even realize are delusions sometimes. The black and white thinking. Idealizing certain people and splitting when something wrong happens. Even splitting on God. I want to one day share this too

[@aliciapenn1859]

I have a friend who struggles with bipolar disorder, I started to learn about it because I wanted to be there for her. I know she knows about God but I’m not sure where she stands in her relationship with him. I can talk to other people about God but I don’t know how to bring up God to her. I don’t won’t her to get mad at me because I do. But I do feel like everything you have experienced she probably has to.

[@johnloftin2461]

The realest piece of my life as a mentally ill ex christian is just how uninterested the church really is in regards to mental illness. It's why Pastors say only careful short comments about the subject. I honestly can't imagine any of my former Pastors who were actually interested in what was happening with me. My church watched me lose everything in life and they simply weren't interested. Over 30 years in the church dealing with OCD and comorbidities. The only thing i discovered about church and god is something I knew as a child, neither is interested in me. Don't tell me god went to the trouble of dying for me, but is perfectly cool to let me simmer my whole life in doubt and confusion. It's just nonsense. The church is NOT the friend of the mentally ill and never has been. We've been here as long as religon has and religon never liked people like me. People like me (OCD) in the church were said to have the "Doubting" disease back in monastery days. Doubt is never highly regarded in Scripture or church. I think the church needs to stop and reevaluate what it is doing.

[@juliafernandez4633]

Thank you for your videos. I'm a Christian that battles with high anxiety is great to know we are not alone. We manage different levels of anxiety that some people have never experienced that's the reason they don't understand. Only God knows and that's enough.

I struggle with my insecurity of my lisp. I want to sing openly about my love for God at church, I want to go karaoke-ing with other Christians, I want to say my Lord and Savior's name right, I want to street preach to the world, I want to meet strangers out and about and share to them the Gospel. But I can't because of my fear. If this could just go away, I could meet Christian friends, I can go to Church and fellowship with my brothers and sisters, I can truly sing from the bottom of my heart, I can be who I know God wants me to be. And even more so, this is grieving me so much because I know that I'm not fully trusting in the Lord BUT I REALLY WANT TO.

Hey man idk if anyone is still gonna comment on this video. I have always had anger issues which appears to be a result of my ADHD. I freaked out today by expressing anger in a road rage incident. I repented your God and cried but I need help. Please pray for me and I wanna pray for anyone else because I can’t control myself which is why I’m seeking medical help

[@thecrew777]

You are courageous. I'm very glad you are. This is, unfortunately something that Christians routinely dismiss, or say that "you don't trust God?!" as though your particular struggle is something you are controlling somehow. Not true. If someone breaks a leg, most Christians will be fine with encouraging that person to go see a doctor and wear a cast until the break heals. But hey, if you have a mental illness, that's "your fault". Prosperity gospel has nothing to offer except to make those preaching it rich and "powerful". No one gets actually HEALED of even a broken leg from "prosperity" so-called Gospel. If you want answers to what GOD thinks (not humans) read the Bible. Really. I did it for myself because I got tired of hearing other people's OPINIONS about God and the Bible. I wanted to know for myself. God is more merciful, patient and caring than any pastor, preacher or priest ever told me - when I read the Bible I found that out. Hang in there. There is actually still far more compassion and help in secular psychology - STILL - than most churches, even well meaning ones. But I agree with this video: take it to God, for He cares for you!

You're so beautiful. Christians should sustain the ability to lead the way out of mental illness.

Our weapons are not carnal but mighty in the pulling down of strongholds.
