Keep Saying " I'm The Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus " 50 times a day if necessary even in the midst of your addiction, anxiety, depression & call or text everybody you know & what's going on in your life ! Keep Saying " I Have The Mind Of Christ "

[@lmr1300]

I lived with anxiety all my life. It started when I was 6 years old. I quit high school cuz of panic attacks. This was in the 70's. It was kind of new back then. At least I never heard anyone talk about it. I found the Lord in late 70's. God helped me get over it. But, I still fought it for years. Thank you so much for this! You can fight and win over this! It's just a matter of knowing who we are in Jesus!!!

I need Jesus every day

Anxiety is of the devil but God works ALL things out for good to those who love Him. So God can even use anxiety as a tool to push us into the arms of Christ.

[@mahleta.1209]

Amen! I believe it now, and I still fight to believe it every single day. I had DEBILITATING Anxiety and I Struggle With Deep Dark Depression but I’ve grown to realize that as Satan loses more territory in my mind, the more he’s gonna try to get it back😂 Praise the Lord for the Victory and for bringing me through!!!!! The way you win is by your intimacy with God, You know, L O V E ❤ 😘🥰😍 ( Aka knowing the Gospel on a personal level because you LET Him reveal it to you in your greatest pain, trauma, and lie you most believe; which makes you believe all the other lies you believe about God and about yourself Because IT’S ALL Connected. It all circles back to that one lie, which is ultimately tied back to the lie we believed in Eden.

How are you feeling today?

[@r1w1h1]

I have had anxiety since 25 years old. Probably all my life but I didn’t know what It was. Than I started to drinking and ended up in drug rehab bc or it. I am still suffering from it daily. I have had days where I do not know it I can make it. Like I am going to have to leave work and can not bc I have to work. No one knows how it is. Since I have found JESUS CHRIST I’m better but still have panic attacks. Did today: face red, could not breathe and blood pressure goes up and I feel like I’m going to die. Thanks to GOD above I’m better and have been able to pray and quote scriptures and I have been able to overcome. It is a lie from Satan. I pray GOD m’s will be done In all our lives! I love all of you in the name of JESUS CHRIST! Amen

[@karenbernhardt5269]

It is so refreshing to hear a pastor talk about the reality of trauma through mental illness. I live in Christchurch New Zealand who runs a trauma survival group called Women at the Well. I am sharing these talks with them so they here someone other than me be ultra real at church. Bless you.

[@ashleyanthony6436]

Definitely so hard I am one to hide it

[@ms_dandelion]

I'd like to do the same here in SA. Could you please assist me as to where to START?

I've been going though anxiety and depression for years with a lot of people passing away in my life ,having problems in our home, with family members being disrespectful to my husband and myself, this lesson today is wonderful in helping me.

Do n I 🎉judge him j❤just by g. C TV

[@jacquelinemcgowan8164]

Bless your heart Shawn for being so honest, no condemnation from God and quite honestly I have been saved 32years and needed to hear this today, been around some good teaching but we need answers to the issues we all know they are there, but very few people are honest enough and wise enough and truthful enough to admit they need God, so we keep going around the same old mountain, till we are so exhausted we either give up or walk away and never finish the race strong because the teaching is just not there. So thank you very much once again.

[@joleencox5900]

I've been battling anxiety, depression and recently started having suicidal thpughts. Its been this way for 7 years and im so tired. Im a single mom of a special needs little girl that has been diagnosed as terminal, I care for her 24/7 by myself because all help had to stop due to Covid-19. I know I've gotten so much worse over the last 3 yrs, I have panic attacks daily and feel like im losing my mind and any signs of hope. I dont know how to stop this. I rededicated my life to God 3 yrs ago and joined Elevation Church online and Pastor Furtick lead me to Life Church as well. I dont know how to fight this, I dont know where to start. Please pray for me

[@romans1229]

Joleen, please don’t give up! Many of us are holding on to God with both hands! I’m trusting God with you that you’ll have a breakthrough soon. I’m believing for the same. It’s not hopeless!!! Find a Counselor at a Church to talk to. Be encouraged, we’ll make it in Jesus Name🙏🏾

[@TPnotmyown]

Praying for you 🙏 Start using deep breathing techniques and it’s going to be bearable right away. Also, look up Mark Dejesus’ channel, and it will change your life. Don’t give up, you are not alone! ❤

[@jarredsison2529]

Lord help me and i need You 😢

[@Jeweler46]

Unfortunately, at 63, I still suffer from depression and anxiety that started at a very young age. 😢 Ive been on antidepressant medication for years, but to no avail. Many times its so bad, I cant even get out of bed. 😢 I have been so scared at times, that I reached out to family just for someone to talk too, but my Sister slammed the door in my face as did other family members. My doctor told me, its called tough love and to figure it out on my own. I've never reached out again, as the embarrassment, the rejection that I felt was so painful. I do, however; have a strong relationship with Jesus who I love so much. I do all I can to live according to His word, help others, and pray consistently. I just found Pastor Shawn's video's today, which I Thank Jesus for. God Bless you Pastor Shawn ❤

[@TinaMack-g5k]

amen brother 😊 ❤ I go through the same thing since I to was a child 🧒 but I found God and he hears me he restored me God say give me all your worries that means everything and say no weapon formed against you sell not prosper and bye he's stripes I am healed in Jesus name amen bye 👋

[@carolwright9336]

Yes some people can be so mean when you reached out for their help the just push you away

[@praiseonpiano]

Your book was life-changing and helped me after battling depression and anxiety for 19 years. I have always felt like a failure as a Christian for having these battles. Thank you Pastor Shawn for opening my eyes to how to have victory over depression and anxiety.

[@chrystelduarte8676]

Thank you for this Pastor. I’m currently going through it… panic attacks, anxiety.. all of it. I have everything I need and more. But this ongoing battle in my mind is debilitating and holding me back. It’s putting a damper on my marriage and on my life. But this gave me strength to keep fighting. To keep looking forward to the point where this is no longer a problem. I believe in a better tomorrow and I will fight. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you.

[@melamorgan3433]

My anxiety depression and ptsd got so bad I had no strength to get up. I just wanted quiet no having to make any decisions. I broke down called my doctor and they sent help. I was blessed at that moment because I believed in God so suicide was not in my thoughts. While in the hospital I had a conversation with my pastor and because I felt so not worthy I felt hopeless. Hopelessness because if I truly believe in God why could I just not let go and let God take over. The message God gave me thru her was its ok I can hold you while you heal. It was not a question if I Loved God and believed it was do I love myself enough that I feel I deserve his Love. It was alot counseling sections and prayer not only mine but from others. Today I still struggle but not on that level. I know to make sure I reach out and not feel ashamed. So I still need prayer and alot has to do with my empathy for others that create a burden so deep on my heart. The balance is hard but he is everyday showing me ways to balance and not feel guilty.

[@kimacker8594]

Thank you Shawn for sharing this with us. There are so many people dealing with anxiety and depression. We have to look to the Holy Spirit for true help and guidance!

[@Sam-wy4um]

Third time I've watched this message, it's a nice reminder that even those whom have walked in Christ's presence for such a long period can go through this.

[@cindyioannidis7552]

I've had panic and anxiety for 26 years and still live with it everyday even with my faith in God 🙏😥

[@juanhernandez2907]

Me too.. since I was 15, I’m now 49

[@kimberlyallisonneddo8-2018]

Me too. Anxiety has had control of my life since I was 17… I am 47. I get lucky and have a few small glimpses of who I am without anxiety a couple times a year, but it always comes back to let me know who is in control. It does make me qx my faith because why am I so consumed with fear, but I continue to pray and look for guidance from God.

[@Joannacorona81]

Same.. I’ve had anxiety since I was 20 till now I am 43.. I have faith but I lose it because nothing changes, my husband is a cheater and he has been mentally and verbally abusing me for many years now.. he is a manipulative person a narcissist so I always look like the bad one..

[@saraquintanilla-hopkins2061]

Thank you, Jesus, thank you, Jesus. He has freed me from my depression and anxiety. Seeks His face, seek His strength, seek His love, and He will deliver you from the enemy.

I haven't isolated for 18 years after my husband passed. I lost everything I had panic attacks anxiety attacks every attack you can think of I haven't.

I am so tired of being alone by myself but then I realize I'm not by myself God is with me. I take it day-by-day thinking I'll wake up one day and all these anxieties will become that I won't have to worry about him anymore

Thank you Pastor Shawn for being so open and so real...this is the testimony we need from Pastors...I deal with anxiety and as a Christian, you feel that if you constantly have fear, worry, anxiety, etc...then you must not trust in God. So you feel guilty. But hearing testimony like this has actually helped me heal bc I can own it, talk about it, pray about it and heal. Thank you God!!! Thank you Pastor Shawn!!
