What the bible has to say regarding mental health and the battle for the mind

By Pastor David Purse (What the bible has to say regarding mental health and the battle for the mind)
Welcome to Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle. As the Senior Pastor of the Whitewell Church I want to personally invite you to join with us on Sundays as we remember the Lord’s death on Sunday Mornings, and as we aim to reach out to our community with the good news of the Gospel message on Sunday Evenings.
I would like this church to be known throughout this country as a place where everyone, no matter what their background is, can hear the message of the Lord Jesus Christ. I want this to be a place where people come to know the Lord Jesus as their Saviour, learn to love Him, and learn how to live a fulfilled life that is pleasing to Him.
To all who are spiritually weary and seek rest
To all who mourn & long for comfort
To all who struggle and desire victory
To all who sin and need a saviour
To all who are strangers and want fellowship
To all who hunger and thirst after righteousness
And to whoever will come
This church opens wide its doors, and offers its welcome in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Maybe you have never visited the Tabernacle, or maybe you haven’t been here for a long time. Why not join with us this Sunday as we worship the Lord Jesus Christ.
David Purse
Senior Pastor, Metropolitan Tabernacle Belfast

Thank you pastor for great word from God, I have suffered from clinical depression all my life; but if it was't for the loving kindness of Jesus Christ, he keep me above water and hold my hand when I go through my black times. In other word's Jesus Christ his the best tranquilizer that money cannot give you.

ALONE IN THE DESERT Tragically, many ministers today preach lifeless sermons. Their messages neither convict of sin nor answer the deep cries of the heart. This is absolutely criminal. Empty philosophies spouted in a time of great hunger will only cause greater sorrow in hearers. John the Baptist taught, "He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled" (John 3:29). The literal Greek meaning translates, "The friend of the bridegroom, who abides and continues with him." John the Baptist was telling his disciples, "I've heard the bridegroom's voice and it has become my greatest joy. Its sound fulfills my soul. How was I able to hear His voice? By standing near Him, listening to Him speak His heart." You may wonder: How did John learn the sound of Jesus' voice? As far as we know, the two had only one face-to-face encounter, at Christ's baptism. And that was a very brief exchange, consisting of only a few words. John learned to hear the Lord's voice just as Jesus did: alone in the desert. This man had isolated himself in the wilderness from a very early age. He would not allow himself any pleasures of this world, including tasty foods, a soft bed or even comfortable clothes. He had no teachers, no mentors, no books. During those years alone, John fellowshipped with the Lord. And all that time, he was being taught by the Spirit to hear God's still, small voice. Yes, Christ spoke to John even before He came in the flesh. John learned everything he knew by being in continual communion with the Lord. That's how he received the message of repentance, recognized the coming of the Lamb, perceived his own need to decrease while the Messiah increased. John learned all these things from the Lord. And the sound of God's voice was his joy. If we give ourselves to this kind of daily communion, the Lord will be faithful to direct our lives, even down to detailed instructions. Hope this Help you God Bless
