Many of us have made friends with fear. We have become so used to our state of anxiety despite many warnings in scripture that we should not remain in that state. Sadly, many people are not aware that they have an anxiety problem. Chronic anxiety is not good for your body. Accurate diagnosis will result in accurate solutions. Isn’t it interesting how we are comfortable being labelled with various chronic illness like high blood pressure but when it comes to mental health issues like anxiety disorders people reject it like it means they are “mad”. Unfortunately, it ends up going untreated and many people around us are negatively impacted. Imagine how your life would have been different if your cheeky aunt or grandmother had actually been diagnosed and medicated for bi-polar. Some of you might be thinking this topic is not relevant to you, but the reality is that you are your brother’s keeper and mental health issues are so prevalent we cannot ignore them. We need to know how to minister to people in these situations, and we also need to know how to respond appropriately to them and not from a place of victimstance.

Romans 8:11 – “The Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you...” This is one of the most powerful revelations for a believe to fully embrace. God is manifest within you too. 1 Corinthians 6:19 – “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit...” Paul emphasises identity in a lot of his narratives. It’s one thing to be something it’s another thing to really know and believe you are that thing. John 14:17 – “...He lives with you and will be in you.” Who is being spoken of here? Look at the full scripture, John 14:17 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[a] in you. And then here is the icing on the cake to top it all off, Galatians 2:20 – “It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me...” The big game changer when you get saved is that the Holy Spirit comes and regenerates your spirit. He is the Seals and assurance in believers. Ephesians 1:13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit. This is part of the salvation package. It is not for a chosen few.
