Though we cannot read hearts, we all have this insidious tendency based upon limited information to judge people as to what drives them internally and then jump to oftentimes the worst conclusions possible. In a nutshell, we draw an opinion about the intent of a person’s heart (oftentimes without ever even speaking to the individual) and then act upon that opinion as if our assumptions are infallible.

ONLY GOD CAN DELIVER

. You are right to instruct people not to rely on psychiatry when they are unable to cope with this world. I have been a registered nurse in a large psychiatric hospital for the past sixteen years, and I have not seen anyone cured through psychiatry.

. The vast array of medical doctors and psychiatrists, psychologists, activity therapists, and nurses have yet to cure a person’s fear of this world. I can testify that this system does not work. For the past sixteen years I have watched as the same people are recycled back to the psychiatric wards – I have seen for too many years the revolving-door syndrome in mental health care.

. Any why? Why are the same people recommitted year after year?

. Because the system does not work. They give the person seeking psychiatric help psychotopic medications to dull their sense of fear. Then they are put in group/individual therapy sessions to convince them that their fears are unfounded. When they are sufficiently brainwashed, they’re released to cope with the real world. In a few months, the superficial whitewash is eroded and they are readmitted for additional help.

. I am grateful that the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to this great humanistic lie. The Word is so true in II Timothy 1:7: “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

. It is apparent that psychology is not of God because when anyone attempts to introduce spiritual concepts – like the Bible or that a person’s problem is sin – they are chastised.

. God cannot be spoken about in the devil’s warehouse of souls. In the psychiatric wards, God resides in the chapel on Sunday morning for an hour and cannot be discussed after that time period. No Bible study classes, no religious discussions, no discussions of pride or of the need for repenting of sins – only talk of self-love and self-esteem.

. The mental health community denies that its system of treatment is failing by displacing the problem: “He just got sick again. Mental illness is a disease of the mind.” Now I know the truth: It’s from the devil.
