12 Mental illness is spiritual 1. Ultimate cause of mental illness 2. Impact of mental illness on your spiritual life 3. Ultimate cure for mental illness 4. Your biggest problem
13 1 As he [Jesus] went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? 3 Neither this man nor his parents sinned, said Jesus, but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. (John 9:1-3)
14 Depression, regardless of the cause, is a time to answer the deepest and most important of all questions: Whom will I trust? Whom will I worship? (Welch)
15
16 17 I pray that you, being rooted and established in [God s] love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. 20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Eph 3:14-21)
17 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart (Heb 12:1-3)
18
19 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives (Gen 50:20)
20 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[i] have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. (Rom 8:28-30)
21 1 Peter 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 5 who through faith are shielded by God s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
22 7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls. (1 Pet 1:3-9)
23 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. (Romans 5:1-4)
24
25 I know the suffering and pain which sickness involves. I admit the misery and wretchedness which it often brings. But I cannot regard it as completely evil (J.C. Ryle)
26 Happy are they who can say, when they are ill, This is my Father s doing. It must be well. (J.C. Ryle)
27
28 How to help someone with a mental illness 1. Observe and listen - physical, emotional, routine changes - negative thinking - anger and avoidance 2. Ask - I ve noticed that are you ok? 3. Love - time, patience, speak the truth, encourage help - prayer, bible, church
29 Our father in heaven, hallowed be YOUR name, YOUR kingdom come, YOUR will be done, on earth as it is in heaven, give us today our daily bread and forgive us our sin, as we forgive those who sin against us, lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and forever, Amen
30 Revelation 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, [a] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, Look! God s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death [b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed
31 5 He who was seated on the throne said, I am making everything new! Then he said, Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true. 6 He said to me: It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. (Revelation 21:1-7)
32 Psalm 4 Psalm 7 Ps 12 Ps 13 Ps 16 Ps 18 Ps 31 Ps 37 Ps 42
33 I heard the voice of Jesus say I heard the voice of Jesus say, Come unto me and rest. Lay down, O weary one, lay down, your head upon my breast. I came to Jesus as I was, weary, worn and sad. And I found in him a resting-place, and he has made me glad. I heard the voice of Jesus say, Behold, I freely give, the living water, thirsty one, stoop down and drink and live I came to Jesus and I drank of that life-giving stream. My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in him. I heard the voice of Jesus say, I am this dark world s light. Look unto me, thy morn shall rise, and all your days be bright. I came to Jesus and I found in him my star, my sun. And in that light of life I ll walk Till travelling days are done.
