Self help in light of God's word.

This is a warning, I know the author I am trying to adress is going through issues and I am praying for those issues- but they have significant influence and false teaching needs to be called out.

. God did not use Carl Jung- Carl Jung was an occultist, mystic and he is in hell, he has rejected Christ.

. Christians are not to refuse genuine medication- prayer is of course essential but don't ever think you are guaranteed physical healing through prayer, that is pure 'word of faith' false teaching.

. "Love yourself, self acceptance, self love" these concepts are not found in God's word, they are Western self help jargon.

. "You're not broken"- you absolutely are and so am I, we are all broken due to original sin. The answer is the Gospel of Christ.

. A reminder- God is a Thrice Holy Triune God, sovereign over the universe and infinitely Holy and infinitely glorious, He is not a cosmic therapist.

We have all walked in this stage of trying to blend the world with Christ, myself included, please come to reject this ideology, join a Gospel church and may God the Holy Spirit convict you.

Amen! But He has been the best therapy to my soul? Better than any psychiatrist or therapist? Leaning on Him, resting in Him, trusting in Him, following Him, remedied my soul!! When I was lost and broken and afraid He lead me to still waters, He taught me dine with him in the pressence of my enemies, and delivered me from them!! He is so much more than we could ever give Him credit for!!
