Day 12 Mental Health Awareness

From Recovery to Freedom


Hey folks!! Hope you are having a good day in Jesus. Today is day 12 for my writing challenge and the letter "M." So I picked Mental health awareness. I want to write on my own issue and awareness of this hot topic. 

I have had several mental breakdowns since my early 20's In 2002 after going through the mental health center they gave me a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. I had it really bad folks! I was very paranoid and have hallucinations and hearing voices in my mind and audible voices as well.  In my point of desperation when I could bare it no more I had to go inpatient on many occasions.

God has done a work of restoration in my mind. The enemy wants to steal it. He has wrecked havoc in my mind! But Jesus has down a good work.

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7

In 2018, I published a book of  my testimony and blog writings. It has not been a best seller but a book to make people aware of someone who has suffered mentally and how God has intervened.

I hope you have a good day.  My book is at Amazon. The title is From "Recovery to Freedom."

This is my third book published since 2018!!!   The first two books were published by publishers that I know. The third book was written and published by me! I am so excited to bring to you, "Your Abiding Presence" poetry written and self-published by me of course.  I designed the cover and everything without much help. That means I did all the work myself... Thank you, Lana Scoggins, for coaching me at first and then allowing me to go to work with it!! I am so overwhelmed with God's grace and peace; this is a very difficult process being a self-publisher through KDP.   But God did it!!! Please if you feel led, order a copy of my second and third books here is s a link to them both. IF you do order a book, please rate me and leave a review on Amazon. It would be very much appreciated! Here is my author page that you can subscribe to for future books: https://www.amazon.com/author/richardthicks60 https://a.co/d/ew6j3TP To order Your Abiding Presence https://a.co/...

It’s not that Complicated

  There is nothing complicated about hell…in fact it is very easy to get there.    I can assure you it’s not one big party with lots of rock music and sex.  Who would want to actually feel hells torment without any grace, mercy or relief. I do not know about you but I do not wish to go there If you intend to take the easy street then by all means be prepared for continual weeping and gnashing of teeth and the torment of eternal fiery punishment. Hell is not a complicated choice!!  Who would want to go there?  I would never desire to go there willingly.   Jesus came to this earth he hung on that cross as a human being   He was God in the flesh. There is not  a whole lot of preaching these days about going hell…we need to hear more fiery sermons from pulpits on Sunday mornings!!! Unrepentant sinners.will all go to hell.  It’s high time we repented of all our sins, and ask God to forgive you of all sin. Sin is sin and Jesus desires us to be...

Unexpected Testimony

A True shepherd of his flock will go looking for those who have wondered away from the fold....and will bring him back in his arms.    Jesus is the truest shepherd I know... The pastor of the true church of GOD should "shepherd" his congregation who are the sheep.  Why are not more pastors checking on those who walk away from the church? Recently i was talking to a friend who has left his church....He has been going through a tough time but just now getting back on his spiritual feet.  He texted the pastors of that church with no response from any of the church leadership!! Folks, I just do NOT think that is the right approach, no matter how bad or bruised that person is or was at the time they left....Pastors and churches will be held accountable. I have been going to churches up here in Heber Springs Arkansas for almost two years. My brother has no problem going out of his way taking me to church, but you would think the people in the church were going to lose...
