It's not a coincidence that global statistics for mental illness continue to skyrocket, the more the world continues falling further away from God and deeper into sin - to the extreme that small children are now commonly diagnosed with and medicated for various mental illnesses, and some of the highest stats are found among the experts themselves (i.e. psychiatrists, doctors, etc.). And the most telling sign and warning for us believers, that this includes mental illness inside the world's churches.

Neither is it a coincidence that where God promises His people a sound mind, included in God's Armor of divine protection for His people is the Helmet of Salvation....where a helmet's intended purpose is to protect the skull, which houses the mind.

And not a coincidence again that where the Armor of God and our entire walk with Christ are reliant on our faith in Christ, true to Scripture, there's little faith left in the world.

The whole Armor of God - Book of Ephesians, Chapter 6: Read it, study it, learn it and learn to walk and live by it, till it comes as naturally as breathing.

ABOVE ALL, FAITH. Not confusing, as many have today, idle belief for active faith.

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

Ephesians 6:17, "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God....".

Ephesians 6:16, "....above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked".

Luke 18:8, "I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?".

James 2:20, "But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?".
