Mark 5:1-19
The scripture passage above shows us that mental health is a long standing issue with humanity.
We see Jesus healing people with mental health and disabilities in scripture.
The state of people's mental health is a big issue in today's world.
Mental health is a big issue because it affects how we relate with one another, it affects our self worth, our confidence, our self self esteem, and our perspective on life's issues.
These are areas that God cares about concerning us. This is why the issue of mental health is one that God cares about when it comes to humanity.
In our text passage Jesus healed an uncontrollable lunatic.
Jesus has power over mental health issues.
Jesus heals disabilities too. We see him heal a bent woman (disabled).
Luke 13:11-13
Disabilities undermine our dignity.
Disabilities are not limited to our physical bodies alone, we have spiritual disabilities too.
Whatever form of disability an individual has, we see from the scriptures that unclean or evil spirits can be behind them.
The state of our mental health touches on every area of our lives, it will affect our life's assignment and destiny positively or negatively.
Our mental health can determine our fulfillment and our decision making in life.
Your mental health is a crucial part of the state of your soul and the Bible says a lot about the soul.
Mental health issues is a form of disability, and disabilities undermine destiny and dignity.
Our prosperity which is our all round well being is determined by the state of our soul.
3 John 2
There are many things that impact on our mental health in this world- the pull and the pressures of life.
Our ability to cope with the pressures of life and balance our responsibilities will have a lot to do with the health of our mind.
The enemy of our souls is interested in our mental health.
The enemy targets people's minds, he knows if he has got the mind he has caught the life.
Your accepting or rejecting the gospel has a lot to do with your mind, your mental health.
Satan blinds the minds of people so that the light of the gospel should not shine into their minds.
