My testimony, how God used Schizophrenia to bring Salvation!

Thanks for watching! I hope this video brings comfort to anyone who's suffering. God always has a purpose for it, even if we can't understand it at the time.

1 Peter 1:6-7

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.
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.

Psalm 71:15
I will tell everyone about your righteousness. All day long I will proclaim your saving power, though I am not skilled with words.

I have suffered with schizophrenia for 10 years now…. I’m a believer too… I have been through hell.. but dealing with this illness is the hardest thing I have ever gone through… I am sorry about your momma… I’m sure she loved you more than herself… but symptoms of this mess makes us distant from even the ones we love the most in the whole world…. I’m so glad you can see the good in the suffering… that’s a true gift… one to hold onto forever… if you don’t mind… please say a prayer for me… I am really struggling right now… and I could use prayers from someone who understands… my name is Sierra…. Thank you for being obedient and sharing… ❤

This is making me cry so hard. My son was diagnosed with schizophrenia a few years ago and is now almost 22. It's so hard but I love him so much. Please pray God heals my whole family.

There is no doubt that the bible has
healing power, when I had my 1st
psychotic break, Jesus word came
alive in my spirit and did a healing
work in my life

Praise God ❤
Blessings be upon you,
I have been set free from schizoid affected bi polar and heroin addiction. I was on heavy medication for decades including monthly injection. I had no withdrawals from medication and take no tablets today.
Jesus christ can free you from anything if you believe in him.
He saved a hopeless case like me.
God bless you all on your journey ❤❤❤

I suffer from schizophrenia I0 years, I have a drug induced psychosis ..the worst of worst
Because I hallucinate all the time and my nerves hurt alot.. when my psychosis began years ago I was very confused because I hallucinated all the time and saw alot of colors and pattern keildoscop visions..
I mean I still have it but The Lord helps me and strengthens me everyday because I couldnt even look people in the eye, I couldn’t even walk without having hallucinations ..I was even afraid to go upstairs ..was a nightmare..and my hope is Christ he is the one who makes the impossible possible! I will forever give him my life.

I battle with skitophrenia and sometimes it's tough with wanting to get healed 😔 when my grandpa prayed for me with his hand on my head I had a change in consciousness and I slowly got better with my meds but I still have this mental illness. I've been battling demons who torment me and I'll I want is peace. I know God is with me but it's a very tough battle. I know he's real I just don't understand why I had to go through all this suffering. Thanks for your story it's heartwarming to know how much you loved your Mom.

I have schizophrenia, I hear voices trying to sway my beliefs about reality. Sometimes they say things like "God loves you" other times they tell me "you're not a christian." Theres alot of things they say other than that, but I won't go into that. It can be quite a struggle. I pray all of you suffering from this condition find peace, I've spent so much time hearing voices, but there is peace on the horizon for all those that believe in Jesus! God bless you all!

Schizophrenia is horrible. I know that a lot of people with the condition have to have medication. I was able to recover by ignoring the hallucinations and delusions. I simply refused to believe they are real. My daughter says it’s not possible to do that. She seems to be doing well on Abilify. I retired after working for 30 years at a high security airport. I never took medication never had therapy and I no longer fear having a relapse.

I was a Christian the first time I had psychosis at about 21 years old. I knew there was something wrong with me but I didn’t know what it was. I did know that I had to find out what was wrong with me and recover. In order to do that, I had to trust my own delusional mind more than that of the doctors.

I realized that the hallucinations were like entities that tended to drift off into the background whenever I was really focused like whenever I had an argument or something like that. That’s what gave me the idea of ignoring and not believing in those “entities” since that’s what caused them to withdraw.

I had to change all my habits of thought. Every time I was triggered to think of some delusion of grandeur or otherwise, I had to rethink everything. I had to not believe what I believed. I had to stop doing miracles and telepathy.

It worked! The hallucinations gradually became less and less. After several years, I became more confident that I would never have a relapse again. I actually retired from a 30 year career!

I am surprised now how disinterested the medical profession is about my complete recovery. It’s almost like they want you to remain ill so they can lord it over you. They seem to be happier that way. They seem terrified to speak with me and that’s not a delusion. They avoid me like the plague! I don’t necessarily blame them since I probably understand schizophrenia better than they do. I want to help others with schizophrenia and the doctors don’t seem to even care about a possible cure.

Thank you for sharing. I can relate so much to your story. my brother has paranoid schizophrenia and he is 52. My mom is a saint and has taken such good care of him throughout his life. he told her one day out of the blue, while she was struggling with God, asking Him why her son had to suffer like this Terry looked her in the eye and said "mom, there's going to be a special place in heaven for people like me."

I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia in my mid 30s after the death of my father. Since the loss of my mother my strength has grown in developing a way of applying the teaching of Christ. That is through promoting life and safeguarding all that are vulnerable which includes animals, plants, people, earth, water and light. Recently a priest publicly denounced me as a sinner. She is no Christian. There are many fakes who carry a Bible but cannot read or write or comprehend the joy of life. I witnessed the birth of a litter of pups and I'm beholding to the sanctity of life.

My mom suffered from severe mental health issues but had a childlike faith in God. I, like you, believe I will see her when I'm in heaven. I will get to know her for who she truly is

[cinthiareyes]

I’m in tears, I was exhausted wanting to go to sleep but the Lord used you to ignite my heart get out of bed and seek the Lord with all my heart in soul. I have been praying for my brother who also was diagnosed with schizophrenia and has been suffering since I could remember. His name is Jaime Alvarado if the Lord placed him in your heart please pray for him. Thank you for sharing your testimony, God bless you.

I had a schizophrenic dad. We could not really stay with my dad, so my mum had to leave, my dad's younger sister stayed with us and our dad. Then one fine day my mum came to pick us up. We had the best years from then on. To this day I always look out for young children, make sure they are sheltered. I prayed for my dad always, until he died. I started to send Bible verses to my dad on his birthdays and Christmas for the last few years of his life.

Thank you sister for your testimony. One thing I learned from Pastor Stephen Darby is the mental illness some are oppressed and some are losses. One is not invited while the other was invited in. I pray for anyone who is going through mental illness May you receive Jesus, and fine HIS peace and Healing. For through the stripes we are healed, we are freed.

[jaedynvela]

The Lord in His full, the Father, Son, and Spirit, loves you. He cares about your story, your family, your healing, and your forgiveness. I’m not sure if you talked about it, but God does care about your voice even when you feel He doesn’t want to hear it. He cares about your pain and guilt, and you are forgiven when you bring it to Him. May He bring you peace until you can be fully with Him and your mother <3

[timdebolt]

Wow ! Stacy, what a testimony. What a tough testimony. I'm so sorry you had to go through the things you did growing up. I feel for you. I have a daughter who I raised by myself when her mother and my wife was diagnosed with paranoia schizophrenia. I remember telling her as she grew up around this that you love your mother but you hate her disease.. We lost her mother and my soul mate a couple of years ago, and we know she's in heaven. She was a good Christian woman. She knew her bible. Now the sickness is gone she is happy in heaven with the Lord !!

[maryannturton]

Thank you for sharing your testimony! My mother was an only child, and her mother went into a mental facility in the 1940's.She went in there in her late 20's and died at the young age of 33.We never knew her exact cause of death, but are fairly certain she received shock treatment as well as a labotomy, which was the barbaric practice if the day.I have always felt so sad for my mom, that she lost her mom so young.My mother has never even known where her mother is buried, and she is now 85 years old.I felt strongly to search records, and found my mother's, mother's grave! I surprised her with the visit.We found a beautiful stone that said, In God's Care.Her name was Nellie, and she was also buried with HER mother, also named Nellie who died when she was only a 1 year old baby!It was the time of the Spanish flu epidemic.My mother cried such beautiful, bittersweet tears at her mother and grandmother's grave to finally get this closure.My mother trusted Jesus the day I got baptized, and is the kindest soul I know. I pray that when she takes her last breath in this world that she is greeted by Jesus, her mother, her grandmother, and her son Michael.Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life! No man comes to the Father, but through Him!✝️💞

I’ve been suffering from schizophrenia since 2023, and have been hospitalized 4 times since. I thank God for your testimony because I too had a mother who was constantly ill. And I blamed my mother for a lot of the hardship I had in life as a child as well. I pray blessings on you and your family.

[rachelsalex]

I feel for you my dear.
You went through so much. Without you experiencing the Father in your childhood, It's no telling how much of a different path you'd be on.

[Lina-imcd]

Thank you, I feel your testimony. Grew up myself with a schizophrenic mom and I really really know what you have been through.
