Has God ever healed you emotionally?
819131
I think the trick is letting Him.  I mean, we're so quick to hang onto guilt about stuff, that we can't believe that we can ever be forgiven, be healed of our emotional hurts.  I say, the next time anyone asks Him for help, imagine Him saying, "Thou art healed."  Then BELIEVE it.  You'll be surprised how fast your tears dry up.  Even if you don't want to believe it, do...for about 30 seconds....then 30 seconds more...then 30 seconds more.  See if you're not up and smiling and dancing after that...In some ways, it is the power of suggestion.  But isn't that what God is--the "suggestion" that you are healed just by asking Him to make it so?

Ofcourse!! I believe God could do anything. With GOd everything is possible. You ask me how do i know? trust me i know God will never ever want to see you hurt, although there are times where you may feel things are on top of ur head and ur world is upside down, and you wonder why God isnt doing anything about it? i believe hes waiting for the right time to fix our mess, because he sees if he fixes it wont be good for you later on. Im not very good with explaining but i hope you get what i mean. God bless you and help you with ur friendship.\n(i myself is losing a preciouse friend of mine...but i know God will help me through.)

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. This is my part testimony. There is far too much to tell it all... it needs a book! \n\nMy first meeting with God was aged eight, I met Him inside a coma lasting months. I awoke, because the ambulance transferring me from one hospital to another, hit a bump in the road. I didn't want to be here, I just wanted to go back to the place I'd just left. \n\nA place, that was like no other place I've ever known before or since. Where love, and peace and joy, is so complete and pure, it affords us all the answers to all the questions, that you never knew you'd asked. It makes everything about us whole, and there is no feeling like it. Nothing in this life can ever match it. \n\nIt is the most non-judgemental love, forgiving and accepting, enveloping and safe, and without anybody telling me, I 'knew', I just 'knew', this was heaven, and I was in the arms of my Father, God. \n\nYet no one ever spoken in my home of God. Because, as I would learn much later, my dad was a serious atheist and mum was excommunicated from the Catholic Church, for marrying out. Religious believe, was a serious no go area in our home. \n\nI already had a happy disposition as a child, despite being bullied at home by older siblings. But, that first meeting with God (of many more since) would ensure, not only that I kept my optimistic and trusting nature, throughout many more varied and serious personal trials to come, it would afford me Faith... that would last forever. \n\nYou see, though the 'place' visually faded from my mind's eye, though the physical world intervened again and hurt me often, God allowed me to keep the 'vivid memory of the feelings' I had on the instant I awoke. In effect, He afforded me, the 'memory of the reality', which is, far more real to me, than anything in this sphere to this day. \n\nIt did and does, still afford me the personal knowledge and certainty of God's existence, of His love for me, of His constant protection, of an invisible shield, that stays around me forever. And I have never doubted since, though believe me, there is a power that tests me, to try and make me doubt, always trying to destroy my faith. But it never will. Though it never misses a trick. \n\nI am no one special. This shield is also yours to share. \n\nMy second experience of meeting God came through meeting Jesus, at age thirteen years. I was to discover exactly what the trilogy meant at a very young age. It was when I was asked by a friend to take her place teaching under fives at Sunday School one day, because she was away. \n\nI had never been to sunday School, let alone understood what the heck it meant. But I went in and did what she had said to do, read the nativity story to them from the bible, then let them draw a picture, then gave them stick on stars. \n\nBut I was troubled, I didn't think I was qualified to do what I was doing, I felt a burden of responsibilty for the children's hearts, what if I had done it wrong. \n\nI went home and pulled out the Bible that I'd never really read before (free school edition, supplied to all of us by the Gov back then) because, my Catholic Bible argued too much with C of E version when we had to do RE in class and read aloud. The teacher got fed up and was unable to answer my myriad questions about the differences. And, not least, I could not, would not, reconcile an angry old testament God, to the loving God I'd met. I was a rebel. \n\nSo, I stared at thirteen to read the story of the birth of Jesus, and I got caught inside His entire life, then through the whole of the New Testament, I couldn't put it down. \n\nIn between, when I had reached the crucifixion, I was on my knees in tears, wanting to be there, wanting to prevent it, angry, hurting, because this wonderful man had done such wonderful things and loved, even inhis dying, he forgave. \n\nAnd this man suited my heart, he felt as I felt about everyone,

Yes, this is how it feels. I am right now managing a sore throat and a congested nose. Yet, would all these come to heal without God? No, we are all punished for our actions,thoughts,and words. Are not we all evil in a way? We have all somehow harmed a creature... by stepping on it or eating it. God is not punishing us as bad as the bad. The truly evil are the ones with no love for anything. Those are the ones who are suffering. Even though I am not Christian, did Jesus not suffer? He did it for us. Does God not suffer?... seeing our pain and misery. Yet, throguh this darkness a light shines through. God is beautiful as anything. He is helping us. God sees misery in our hearts and shines light through. Think for a moment...How had God helped you?

Yes, many times.  One instance, my grandmother, a devout Christian prayed for a man that was scheduled to get his leg removed in just a few days.  When he went back to get it done, it was no sign of the disease.  She also was diagnosed with diabetes and took medication for a while, she prayed and said she was healed.  It is the first time I had ever known my Pop to question her, but my aunt and Pop insisted she go to the dr. for tests.  There was no diabetes.  Our church regularly had "healing meetings".  Everyone laid hands on the sick one.  Lots of people were healed, this was not publicised, nor exhorted to everyone. It was taken for granted that He could and would.  God was continually praised for our blessings.  Faith healings do work.  I have witnessed so many miracles, simply from being with faithful, humble people that knew God is the ultimate healer. His miracles are still everywhere today.  Ask in faith and you shall receive.  The meek and humble will inherit the Kingdom of God.

Yes.  I was in a...situation, where I was very suddenly, and I mean suddenly in great danger.  Danger so brutally terrible, that I had no time to think and very well could have died a terrible death and there was nothing I could do to prevent it.  I didn't consider myself a very religious person, but when the time came, I instinctively asked for Jesus to help me.  When I say instinctively, I mean it was like a reflex reaction.  Automatic, and natural.  Help was delivered.  I know many folks won't believe me, and that's ok.  It's an honest answer.  He's there, here, everywhere.  It's a great comfort to me.  It's changed my life, as you can imagine.

I have been on both sides of this issue. I was raised to believe, but rationally I could not except the idea that God was the judgmental insecure fruitcake my religion portrayed him as.\n\nSo I stopped believing.  Then this happened to me.\n\nSeveral years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away. \n\nWhile driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.\n\nThree days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to. \n\nI feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.\nDuring the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible. \n\nI can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.\n\n I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings. \n\nYour brother don

absolutely prayer changed everything for me on several occasions.  There have been times when I couldn't find a solution to a problem on my own and by praying about it I found the solution.  I have felt so sinful and then prayed to the God of my understanding and found redemption and forgiveness.  I can feel anxious about something and pray about it and find relief.

Being saved does not erase our pain or promise us freedom from pain in the future... it saves us from our sins. Our relationship with God can truly help us heal through prayer, but He does expect us to do all we can for ourselves, and in your case, that would be some major therapy.\n\nGod does not hate you, He loves you and when you are unjustly hurt, He is hurt as well. He has given us a way to be with Him one day, and until that time, we have free will and are subject to the free will of others. He does not stop all the people who do evil  now, but instead is waiting for judgment day. Why would he do that?\n\nWell, consider this... If He were declare to all the earth, "At noon tomorrow, I will destroy anyone who has done evil (anyone who has sinned)"... who would be left at 12:01? I wouldn't, you wouldn't, none of us would. Also, would it really be fair of Him to destroy all the people who have not found Him, but might have had they had more time?\n\nI know what you are going through and what you have gone through is horrible. But remember that He does love you, and He does care. One day, your fight will be over, and because you knew His truth and were saved, you will see that the seventy (give or take) years you spent here will be repaid with an ETERNITY of perfect happiness. Get as close to Him as you can. Talk to Him about what you go through. Ask Him to heal you, to let your therapy be exactly what you need, and have faith that it will be. God bless you, sweetheart.

Agreed with the 2 people before me. He never fails. I was in a low point in my life and I heard the word and how much he loved me when I was so unlovable. Anything I could do wrong I did in the sight of others But the Lord overlooked all my faults and failures and loved me. When I think about the extremes God went through just so that I could be here on earth. He created everything for you and me.God is a permanent solution to your problem, everyone will always fall short.I couldn't face myself in the mirror even though I am beautiful on the outside complements could not pull me up out of the pit of depression and then that's when I found a relationship with Jesus and he will touch your heart and give you peace and inner beauty and with the love that he has for you will help you face another day.

Yes, and its happened without my asking for it several times--the sensation of having left my body, observing myself and surroundings from a different perspective (like from above, or to the side) and then when my conscious mind took over with a thought like "Wait, this can't be happening" I'd be abruptly brought back with a jolt.\n \nIn meditation its occurred several times, especially if you've constructed it in such a way that you're open to it. One particular intense time was during a specialized meditation I've done only once, "Calling Back the Soul"--when you send your astral body to collect/invite back all the pieces and remnants of your soul that may still be "stuck" in emotionally charged locales. That was a very powerful and intense experience--I was travelling to a lot of places--but I did feel more complete afterwards.\n\nI also met a Medical Intuitive/Lakota Elder who has the gift (burden? privilege?) of doing it as part of her healing work. She was asked to find out if someone's brother had survived the tsunami in Thailand, so she projected herself in search of him and not only "found" him alive, but was able to accurately describe his surroundings at the time of her journey. She relayed it to the sister, and the very next day the sister received confirmation that he was alive and...you guessed it....in the location that the medical intuitive had described.\n\nSo its not just for personal experience, it is a gift that can be cultivated to help others as well.\n\nnamaste.

I don't know of any christian councellors.  But I do know from experience when I'm in a place like that when I'm sad and broken, the best thing that I can do is to cry out to God.  I go lye down and listen to praise and worship music, I cry and pray.  Gods presence always comes, and he speaks to me.  He fills me with Joy and Hope. He's the only councellor I need. He is always faithful.  I encourage you to do this, even if your flesh resists... that's even more reason to pray.

At one point in my life I was really depressed. i'm talking clinical depression here, the kind you get when the chemicals in your brain get mixed up. i was a Christian at this point, but had been drifting away from God.\nanyway, i was standing by my window one day. at this point i was closer to committing suicide then i had ever been, and was contemplating the action right then. as i stood there, i suddenly felt this overwhelming prescence.\ni can't really describe what happened next, (it's too personal) but God came to me. i spent some time in prayer, just pouring out my heart. when i left my room, i felt like a completely different person. everything literally looked brighter.\n5 years later, i'm still following the Lord and couldn't be happier. i really believe that God saved my life that day, both spiritually and physically.

i would love to answer but before i do, there are people that have, and if  the 5 year termination process hasn't ended the report or crime of which someone was abused is still secret and needs to be kept withen the family or group of whom the crime has effected. but yes, and i never saw him after he attacked me. I changed schools and i actually found streangth through god. \n\nyes i do get hurt and i still get into trouble, and bad things occur, but god makes it so much easier. he always let's you come back to him. he forgives you and you don't have to cut yourself or crash planes into world united buildings in order to get gods forgivness. \n\nanyway i've been healed because i came to christ. if i ever meet my attacker i will forgive him, but ig he hurt me or anyone else i would instantly take him to the cops.

Read "Power of a Praying Woman" by Stormie Omartian. Prayer is very powerful. It helped me tremendously.\n\nOnly God can heal your wounds.

Yes.  There is a verse in the book of Job "the Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord".  I know that alot of people will laugh at me for saying this....but I had a cat that I loved and owned for 17 years.  I had to put her to sleep and I was hysterical, I was truly heartbroken.  I was sobbing with a broken heart, I missed her so much.  The Lord brought this verse before me, and right in the middle of my sobbing I said it out loud, and I meant it.  Blessed, blessed be the name of the Lord who gives and who takes away!  I was healed in that moment of the pain and the sorrow.  What was left was sweetness and the love that dear animal gave me for so many years.\n\nWhen in our pain we call out His name and exalt Him...oh, what His power can do.
