I'm new on this path of jesus. I just wanted to thank you. I now realise jesus has been with me all my life but being human I've chosen many ways to not let him truly in my life.

Psychology is definitely a good tool, just like eating healthy, exercising, reading educational books and things like that. But without Jesus Christ, there are no heart changes. Jesus is the great physician. There are good things to learn from all areas of life. The most important one is Jesus Christ! Thats the one that can save your soul!! Thanks for this video! ❤

Leaving a homosexual lifestyle and coming to Jesus, I decided to see a Christian counsellor as I knew the secular ones wouldn't get it nor encourage me to leave that lifestyle. The sessions have been so different from past secular psychologists/ counsellors. We spend our time bringing God into everything, praying and using his word. I'm all for Christian counselling when necessary. We don't need to dwell on the past, but forgive and move forward in God's strength . Isaiah 43:18-20 18 “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. 💖✝️🙏

I had a psychologist ask me if I'd ever seen apparations before I could work around radiation in a nuclear plant, my answer to him was the day Jesus laid hands on myself baptising myself in the Holy Spirit; he smiled and approved myself for the work! I felt the witness, he had it also.

[@anapadilla7133]

100% agree. I’ve been doing therapy for years, trying to find out the root cause. Like what you were saying, I was stuck! When I heard the true gospel, is when I experienced freedom. Trusting God over my thoughts, my ways. Trusting that God is transforming me, I don’t have to do anything to earn His grace. It’s a continual renewing of the mind, I pray for strength to stay diligent and remain in His truth. I’m decided to repent (change my mind) and BELIEVE in Jesus Christ and what He says and did for me, no my feelings. This has given me so much freedom and stop living in a roller coaster of emotions. 🙏

[@monicathrasher3561]

💯 I was living the Christian life in my own strength. I went to church every Sunday, read my Bible, participated in Bible Studies, etc, yet I was still struggling with the effects of narcissistic abuse, C-PTSD, Bipolar, SI, anxiety and depression BUT once I understood who I was IN Christ and let that take root, head knowledge shifted to heart belief! Then I was healed! Off ALL mental health meds over 4 years now and walking in freedom, living from His indwelling Spirit in me.

Amazing! Every thing you said is 100% truth. I've lived it (terrible childhood, nightmares, sleep paralysis, depression, anxiety and tried to commit suicide twice, on 7 different medications everyday and tried 7 different counselors/therapists/and psychologists to help and i felt worse! Always reliving the past) and then, after a journey of trying to learn how to forgive (bc they say forgiveness will help but i didn't know how and no one could give me the answer) then one night, God opened my eyes. He just showed up and bam my life, mindset, desires, everything changed! Praise the Lord! And what you said about forgiveness, is so so true! I saw myself and God's grace and i cried for months until i finally let go of feeling unworthy and moved onto grace for others and the joy, oh the joy! I love Jesus! He saves!!!

[@teresammerriman1883]

I was a Christian for 32 years (reading my Bible and praying daily) until I realised I needed the help of a Christian counsellor. Yes, under the guidance of God who used the skills of that professional, I came out the other side and was transformed. If someone has to keep redigging their past in therapy, id change therapists. We all need a little help along the way sometimes but just make sure they are bible based Christians. One good book i read by Chtistian psychologists and Counsellors was 'Boundaries' by Henry Cloud and John Townsend.

I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder. This was “my” disorder. I was at the store having a major panic attack. I rushed home crying my eyes out. I grabbed my Bible I said, “Speak to me Lord!” I never read the Bible this way. I opened the Bible to this scripture. ◄ Isaiah 28:16 ► So this is what the Sovereign LORD says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic. I wasn’t putting my trust in the Lord to help me overcome this. I’m much better I have good strong Christian friends for support. Conquering anxiety begins with trusting God completely not partly but completely.

[@nancybaumgartner6774]

Tell ya what - I am a Christian and a therapist and agree that some therapeutic approaches aren’t helpful , but helping people identify and challenge/process faulty beliefs and distortions - truth - is very beneficial. I work with people who have been religiously abused on a regular basis . Religious abuse is quite the stumbling block for many people .

[@jaybo5767]

In essence I agree with you and indeed God is everything. At the moment I am not even feeling worthy of God's love. I hope to get through all of this so I can fully love God, be transformed and love myself. Thanks Matt, and if anyone on here can spare some time to say a little prayer for me I'd be so grateful. I hope God blesses you all and thank you! ✝️💞

I'm so glad you made this video. God can do more to heal a person's mind than a Christian Psychologist.

[@Blubes23]

Thank you! I have just came to this excact conclusion. A few years back i went to a pshycology class with a person who where twice the age of me. We both had struggled with the same mental disorder (eating disorder) but i had already went to a pshychiatric for this three years. She however had already went there 20 years in and out and im like: what are you doing? If your still there it doesen’t help. So i quit mine i went better. I made a promise- which is what made healthy again. I would actually go as far as to say i don’t believe in many of the mental health diseases anymore. Alot of it is pure ego and pure selfishness. Yes you may struggle with things but most of the people in these kinda struggle does not to any type of self accountability- instead they use their human diagnosis for excuses in shitty and abusive relationship. My human dad is schizofrenic, and I think this is not only a diagnosis but theres avtually evil entities driving him. My father is not a bad man but he is a menace to deal with when he’s in a schizo episode. This is not him. But he doesen’t tak accountability either for his behaviour- and that is him. But he doesen’t know what to do or how to- like many others because people are thought to only care for themselves in pshycology. Todays pshycology is giving into peoples narcisissm instead of actually helping. Personally find pshycology interesting and all that, but lots of things in teaching and treating is wrong. Pshycology makes people sicker.

[@NaomiSims-w5g]

@Blubes23 My mom had schizophrenia & I was accused of being the evil child that meant her harm all my life. It only became worse as she aged. God had to do a major work in me, because I didn't understand growing up, & half my life was spent hating her & asking God, "WHY?" & thinking God hated me. I tortured myself, listening & obsessing on those thoughts & reliving my mother's accusations in my mind. BUT, He's so patient, good, & kind, & brought me out of that bondage. I am so thankful! All praise & glory is HIS!

I have learned with my psychologist to work on my emotions bc I had trouble to handle my emotions, i didn’t know how to work through them bc of my add and chronic illness. And it was a blessing to learn to feel them and to be okay with them. It even was helping me a lot with my faith bc I now can ‘handle’ my grief. Of course I bring my emotions by God but if I didn’t learn to work through them, then I wasn’t on this place I’m now. And I see a lot of Christian’s that can’t handle their emotions and bc of that a lot of misconceptions about what is just normal emotion or misconceptions about chronic illness. Suppressing them can make you sick. Sometimes you just have to learn something. But definitely to do this all together with God.

[@princesslillifee7622]

Do you know what the Ministry of reconciliation means? It takes two for the process of reconciliation. God made the first step: He reconciled himself to the world. He would never reconcile himself to sin. So what did He do? Christ paid the price for the sins of the whole world. That was the necessary atonement, directly followed by God forgiving the world all trespasses. Today, sin is not imputed to anyone, ALL sin was put on Christ, buried with him. When Christ rose again, all sin stayed in his grave and is not ever to be re-imputed to anyone in this dispensation of Grace. That's our good news of today the Gospel of our salvation: the work was finished on the cross, once and for all. Now sin is put out of the way between God and man. Hallelujah 🙏🙏🙏 Now it's your turn: be ye reconciled to God. Believe that all your sins were forgiven by God when Christ paid the price for every single sin. This is salvation today: believe, your sins were completely forgiven on the cross when you were His enemy,as the sins of the whole world were paid and forgiven there. Believing that, trusting in Christ alone is what saves you today. In this very moment, Christ's righteousness is imputed in your account, by His spirit you are baptized into Christ, sealed with the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption, eternal life and all spiritual blessings are yours, you are a new creature, a member of the church, the Body of Christ, your Destination is heavenly places. Paul, our only apostle,did not say one single word in all his 13 epistles how to get your sins forgiven. Because salvation is to believe they already are. This is our ministry, Ambassadors for Christ, ministers of reconciliation. Share the good news that God has forgiven all the worlds sin and is not imputing them, today is the day of salvation! Grace and peace 🙏 ❤️ Check out also "truthtime Radio", it is very edifying ❤️

[@juliatamalo7916]

Thank you for the insightful explanation, Matt. Totally agree. The psychology for myself is a tool to understand what had happened and not by all means to let myself stay in the past.

Have a wonderful day and God bless you 🙏🏻🎉

[@nancybaumgartner6774]

@@AlbertWolfe-p9vanxiety can be caused by a variety things : vitamin / mineral deficiencies, stealth infections , hormonal imbalance , severe abuse, food allergies , etc… Try telling someone whose abusive parent used to bury them alive in a real coffin ( with pvc run into it for air) as a “punishment” to not “censor” God by needing help with the anxiety. Better still , the “worship team” singing grandpa whose hands were in the air during the service and down his granddaughters pants at night - tell that granddaughter to not “censor” God when she needs help with anxiety . I am therapist and have been in the field for 40 years and a Christian for 45 years . God uses counselors and sometimes people benefit from medication . I think it’s overly prescribed , but it’s definitely not “censoring” God . We cannot censor God , anyway.

[@mama-cita]

I've never thought of it that way. Very good point. The point about how Jesus sets us free is good enough for a video, but then you gave practical wisdom about how when we keep focusing on the trauma we are telling ourselves that we are still stuck. To take that a step further the Bible tells us to think about good things. Story time: When I was in highschool I had horrible social anxiety. I prayed for so long for God to heal me from it. I'm 37 and I can say that my social anxiety is 90% better than when I was in high school. It just took time to be away from all the things that kept reminding me of my anxiety. Now I can say I genuinely like people. I'm interested in others and I can start up conversations now. We can't all expect a miracle every time we pray to be set free, but practically Stop Thinking About Your Problems. Beautifully said sir! Thank you

I used to strongly believe this. I've struggled with depression and extreme anxiety for most of my life. Psychology (and medication) have not helped me at all, but meditating on scripture made lasting changes. Unfortunately I got thrown off track during the pandemic. The modern church is quite nervous about making any kind of claim against psychology and I've found it hard to find the courage on my own to get back on track.

Holy Spirit transforms us. I worked with psychologists and they helped me initially, but then I was like is this it? It helped some, but it made some things worse.

And that is where I was truly transformed, and I realised searching for God is the best problem solving technique that exists.

Speaking from personal experience as someone who spent 20 years on countless psychiatric drugs and 25 years in therapy/counseling only to end up far worse than when I started, actually very near to death for 3+ years in withdrawal… The power of our Almighty God has completely transformed me from the inside out, in less than a year with Him. It is a lifelong process of course but truly He is the only way. If you ever doubt the ability of God to change and heal, just remember that He spoke the entire universe and all life into existence with nothing but the power of His voice!!! And if you want Him to change you, simply being willing is the best place to start in my experience.

I recently stopped going to therapy because of fincancial difficulties, and I became very distraught at that prospect... but then something dawned upon me: You might have experienced this. You're in your appointment and you seem to be making breakthroughs, talking things out, getting a better perspective. Your appointment ends and you feel GREAT like you can tackle anything. Most of the time, you feel this way all day... BUT then you wake up the next day and realize "Oh crap. All of my problems are still here. Nothing's changed", and suddenly you feel more terrible than you felt before. It's like a drug, and you become addicted to it because you keep thinking "Just one more session and I'll be able to get over the thing I need to get over to level up my life." but that day never comes. It just keeps building you up briefly in your mind and then comes crashing down around you when you're faced with anything real. Is that just me or is that a common experience?

Now that's all well and good if society is highly functional (an ideal society maybe), but we live in a highly DYSfunctional society. So... what do you do with someone who is at the end of themselves and can no longer function with the dysfunction they're asked to function with? It has to be a good bit of deep psychological manipulation. Some clever tricks of the mind. This might be unrelated, but it might not be. My therapist's office was across the street from a Masonic lodge... and also, Freemasons are really into stage magic. Hmmm. Food for thought.

Psychology is kind of like the good person test. It reveals our need but can't fix us. We are broken, whether it happened through our own will or someone else's. Knowing the good Physician, Jesus, is the cure.

Heart transformation, NOT behavior modification!

[@crystalclear6864]

Yes i find some psycho analysis just makes us selfish . Its all about ‘me’ and often at the cost of those around us. Tho anyone in trauma and suicidal please talk to someone. Hopefully one who shows you Gods way that truly is freeing and u r loved

God, doesn't ''try" to transform us, He does it. We, don't "try" to accept His Gift, we just do it. Trying, just sets one up for failure, doing , on the other hand accomplished the task at hand!

Matt, it appears we have the same type of Pastor, and I have very similar beliefs as you. Once you are born again the past has actually passed away. As Romans 12 says transformed by the power of God not some psychologist tell a Christian it is something in the past. The past has gone.

[@lionoffireraw]

Amen. I have another video I’m planning now called, “God doesn’t want to fix you.” I’m glad this truth resonates with you! Matt 🙏

True forgiveness is asking God to not lay your persecutors offense (against you) to their charge. What Jesus prayed: "Father forgive them; for they know not what they do." Luke 33:34 KJV

Hi

[@TheAutisticApologist]

I see a therapist, but not to "psychoanalyze" my "past traumas" or any of that sort of nonsense. I know my past, and I also know I can't change what's past so there's no sense dwelling on it. I'm autistic and attention deficit though, and I mostly see a therapist to help me work through problems that my executive dysfunction can't let me see the solution to on my own and to see things from different perspectives I can't see on my own, and to help me find workarounds to some of my limitations. And in that sense it's been an invaluable tool. But that's all it is, a tool. I don't expect it to "fix" me in any way.

I asked the Lord to teach me about psychology as He knows it to be. He answered with,” THE SEDUCTION OF CHRISTIANITY “ . I went to the Bible bookstore ( I rarely ever went to any book store) and it was a book by Dave Hunt. It is all about psychology. Get the book.

[@paulasheppard9719]

Avoid psychology. Find a biblical counselor instead. Their job is to point you to Christ through the Word, to help you move forward, and to not have you be their client for life. They want you to move past the need for any counseling because what you really need is in the Word and some good godly mentors to talk with.

I think forgiveness is on the cross. Jesus never retaliated but still suffered the pain of what was done to him by them and all of us. We to have been wronged but we will be scarred and the way to forgiveness is to not retaliate and most of all to not dwell on what they did that is called resentment, you keep bringing it up and re-feel the pain so the best thing to do is cast is away from your mind and walk with the damage trusting in Christ. As they say, time does heal and the more distance you have in letting go, the better you will feel. Lesson is to know who you can trust and who to stay away from. Cut out all the negative people in your life, no exceptions but use wisdom, sometimes you could be getting a correction that needs to be heard.

Yes psychiatrists make a lot presumptions about peoples motives misdiagnosis malicious sudpicion no fun.some though is help full like stopping uncontrollable thoughts.o nly found a believers page on this one too.almost totaly gone now..

[@allenmorgan4309]

When you use the term "to be set free" what does that mean specifically. To say be set free or that you are stuck are broad generalizations. I'm not enslaved to anything or am I in therapy so what's it to be set free?
