Hello, welcome to my blog. My name is Tony Rowland. What I write about today revolves around the relationship between faith and Mental Health. This subject matter is the kind of topic that must be squarely hit between the bull’s eye in Jesus Christ or defeat and rejection is all that’s left. Why? For faith and Mental Health have the ability to be at odds with one another. This is if your faith is shaped through the naturalistic faculties bend. Can you understand. Have you heard people in the church that claim, “We walk by faith and not by sight and faith without works is dead?” Most in the Faith-based church have no clue how those two lines of text are worked and understood supernaturally inwardly and divinely inside of the human body. 2 Corinthians Chapter 5:7 and James Chapter 2:14.
In fact, the work most Christians in the church talk about aren't the same works spoken about in 2 Corinthians Chapter 12. Do you remember how faith is defined in Hebrew Chapter 11:1 in the KJV?
“Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
Now, for mental health people, this line of reasoning is a really dicey and thorny condition to be in when you may have mental health issues that are combined with your spiritual ones. For the two can be closely related. The Lord, Jesus Christ was so unwavering with me of writing about this subject matter. Why? The nuances and distinctions between someone dealing with actually a spiritual issue as opposed to them being fully blown insane are razor thin. And just because some of their set of symptoms fit the description in the psychologist medical manual, does not mean they are all delusional. Although, when viewed through spiritual eyes of some of these people, they are actually having another issue, repeatedly, but they are unable to articulate it to the psychiatrists.
Guess what. Some of them are filled with the Holy Ghost that have been admitted to the psychiatric ward because someone has deemed them dangerous to themselves and others, because they are having spiritual assaults and attacks by the evil one. Again, this is such a dicey and red-hot issue read for a lot of people because not all that are committed to the Psych-ward are filled with the baptisms of the Holy Ghost that are being assaulted.
In the trilogy of books in The Fallout series, I delve deeply into Psych-wards issue cases, and that everyone committed to them are not crazy or mentally insane. I use the examples of several Hollywood based movies to kind of give a broader view of what these kinds of people are really dealing with. Two movies that I delve into, one is called Mirrors and another Stigmata.
Actually, I have written about several more movies about mental health people and their true issues. Although, in both of these movies, the main characters are deeply spiritual people. But when viewed through the lenses of the psych and medical community they saw them as both having epilepsy and deep mental case issues according to their psychiatric and medical manuals.
Anna Esseker played by Mary B Peil, and Frankie Paige played by Patricia Arquette were actually extremely devout and virtuous people in the movie. In both movies the medical establishment could not get any kind of handle on either of these women’s causes. The problem was that they were not dealing with a psychological or one hundred percent medical one alone.
In The Fallout series of my books, you will be stunned in truth with what these two people’s real circumstances were. And nothing could help them but one kind of person.
