What DEFYING MENTAL ILLNESS believe and recognize
- We believe others can have the same story of defying the odds of the disease too.
- We recognize and applaud the efforts of medical professionals who seek to help those suffering with this terrible disease. We are pro-medicine believing that doctors and their team are primarily on the same side as God which is to heal.
- We recognize and applaud other organisations and charities all over the world who have done great and tremendous work in fighting mental illness.
- We believe in the power of God to heal completely. We also advocate that those challenged with mental illness continue to take on their medical responsibilities and medical care whilst on their journey of faith in defying the odds of the disease.
- We believe literally that no one SHALL SAY I AM SICK (Isaiah 33:24) and BY HIS STRIPES YOU WERE HEALED (1 Peter 2:24). We therefore believe we can take God at His Word and put a full stop to mental illness and its devastating effects.
- We believe that we can shape our experience according to God’s Word instead of shaping God’s Words to our experiences.
- We believe whilst coping with the disease and prolonging life through management of the disease is good, the best is a life of freedom from sickness.
- We recognize that everyone has a different story, a different experience and that everyone’s journey is individual. Some take longer than others and DEFYING MENTAL ILLNESS respects that.
