I have a tremendous concern for the people of God and their mental state of mind. I am a firm believer of the Word of God, knowing that His promises are unquestionably true and His unlimited Power will heal, deliver and set free from sin, as well as circumstances of life.rnWe live in a natural world with real life situations that we confront daily. Either we have been victims of circumstances, or we were the perpetrators that caused them, affecting us as well as others.rnI personally have observed and experienced firsthand that life leaves many individuals damaged and confused, ever-harboring desolation and hopelessness.rnWe have been taught to pray, hold on, and believe God until Shiloh comes; yet, our natural side still has the deep longing just to talk to someone, one who will listen without judgment or condemnation. In conjunction, we feel, believe and teach that the people of God need a practical way of releasing emotions or impulses, which is counseling.rnThe Bible instructs us in the book of (I Corinthians 15:46) “Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.” As natural beings and not supernatural, we have circumstances in life, that, even though we are taught to pray and believe God, we have a natural reaction to involve a natural source which is man.rnThis does not mean that we turn away from the Word of God which is our first source of survival and guidance. Counseling, along with a truthful representation from the Word of God, will bring positive results. Jesus was a teacher as well as a counselor when He dwelt on earth. Individuals being counseled Aligns with The Bible (Psalm 33:11) “The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations” Progress via counseling will not condemn an individual to hell neither will it excommunicate one from the body of Christ. It does not mean faith in God no longer exists.rnGod has given us intellect to explore, imagine, and desire different fields of interest. We then educate ourselves using this knowledge to help others. Subsequently, we become resourceful in our spheres of expertise. Accordingly, we become useful in the practical, everyday situations in our trades and professions, as well as in the church.rnCounseling and guidance, through the Word of God, results in healing of the mind, healing of the Spirit, deliverance of the Soul, peace and victory in our day to day lives.rnIntense spiritual and practical counseling, results in a higher quality of life, balance of consciousness, and irrefutable achievement.
