How the Lord Used Truth and Action to Deliver Me From Depression

The Roots of My Depression: A Personal Testimony by Mischelle Sandowich

In this testimony of my personal recovery from depression, I will make no claims to have all the answers for depression. There are many factors that can lead a person down the road of hopelessness and despair. Sleeplessness, pain, drugs, prescription medications, life’s circumstances, monthly cycles, poor diet, alcohol, wrong thinking, and many other factors can contribute to depression.

If you have ever found yourself lying on the couch as though a heavy rock had trapped you there, with a sink load of dishes, a house cluttered with several days of paper, clothes, books, and other stuff, and the certainty that you could do nothing about any of it, then you have experienced depression.

Why Am I Sick? Reason #3: Judgment Against Sin

Would God Really Use Sickness as Judgment?

Some people are sick or suffer because of God’s judgment against their sin. This can be an indirect judgment in the form of general discipline, or a direct judgment for a specific sin. First let’s discuss the issue of discipline.

Church Discipline

God has ordained an order of discipline within the church in order to bring repentance to men or women who have fallen into sin. The purpose for this judgment is Continue reading “Why Am I Sick? Reason #3: Judgment Against Sin”

Introduction: Why Am I Sick? 7 Biblical Reasons

Why Am I Sick?

Why me? Why am I sick? Why?

We have all heard this question asked, or even asked it at some point in our life.

The Bible says in Psalms 84:11, “For the Lord God is a sun and a shield; The Lord gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.”

If God withholds “no good thing” from those who walk uprightly, then it is understandable to ask, “Why do I have this sickness or chronic condition?”

To gain an understanding as to why we get sick, why we contract a disease, or why our bodies do not function properly, we need to Continue reading “Introduction: Why Am I Sick? 7 Biblical Reasons”

Is There No God In America?

Authoritative Answers About Health: Part One, Section A

Theme Verse: I Corinthians 3:19a: For the wisdom of men is foolishness before God.

The practice of putting trust in others besides God is not new; it has been occurring since the beginning of time. There are many examples in the Scriptures, and when it happens, God is not pleased. But how does this relate to health?

Let us explore the story of Ahaziah, a man with an illness, and see how God responds to him when he does not go to the Word of God to seek answers to his health condition. Continue reading “Is There No God In America?”

Reason #7: To Bring Glory To God

Do All Things To The Glory of God

And finally, the 7th reason we should seek God’s Word concerning our health: to bring Him glory.

The Bible clearly teaches that in everything we do, we are to bring glory to God. I Corinthians 10:31 says this, “Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”

We also know from I Corinthians 6:19 that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?”

And what is to be our response? Continue reading “Reason #7: To Bring Glory To God”

Warning! This may take you out of your comfort zone.

We need to have biblical answers to our health so that we can protect our life, if need be.

Reason #4: We Can Develop a Greater Trust in God’s Word

Does God Know More Than Your Doctor?

God has given us everything necessary for life and godliness through the knowledge of His Son, Jesus Christ (II Peter 1:3). Jesus Christ was the living testimony of God. The Bible is our testimony of Jesus. If we need to find out anything pertaining to life and godliness, we need to go to His Word!

As we grow in our trust of God’s Word regarding health and we begin to apply His principles, we will see the positive results, and our faith in an amazing God who is an awesome designer will grow.

Your Body…More Complex Than a Rocket Engine

The Importance of the Designer

During the 80’s and 90’s, for approximately 15 years, my husband worked as a propulsion engineer for a company called Rocketdyne. Many of the engineers who worked at Rocketdyne were responsible for designing the liquid rocket engines used in the manned and unmanned space program under contract from NASA. These motors were very complex pieces of machinery that had to operate just as they were designed. If there was the slightest uncertainty or anomaly, it was promptly investigated to determine Continue reading “Your Body…More Complex Than a Rocket Engine”
