Listen to your heavenly counselor.

The first Bible believing Church I ever attended was a Spanish church. Which was the first church I attended when I committed my walk with Christ. I was attracted to that church because they had jam sessions for musicians. So I went one night and I saw something special there which was Jesus. That night I went and never stopped going to church. That night, there were four brothers there playing music. As I kept going I became good friends with them, and for some reason they were very interested in my life, and there started a journey for five years while I was in that church, that I was to be there disciple. I learned so much from these mature Christian brothers, that still, until today, I hold and practice many of the Biblical principles they taught me. There I learned also and practice until this day, this verse. Proverbs 11:14 Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety. Oh how important this is and was for me. Pride is a killer. If you are prideful and think you have it all together, are better than the person next to you and even Jesus. Then you probably will not experience the many extreme blessings from practicing this proverb. Of course the counsel you will want to receive will be, from mature Bible believing Christians. And if you are a man, it will be best to get this counsel from another man and the same holds true for a woman to get counsel from another woman. Need I say more. Now when getting counsel, you don't have to do what the counsel says, what you have to do is what Jesus says, what the Bible says. If the counsel is maybe ones opinion or hunch that is not Biblical, that is not the best counsel to hear and do. But if it's Biblical, you can be sure it will work. I think this holds true for everyone especially for Christians and the mentally ill. From my experience some of us, and I am not saying all of us, can maybe fall into depression, manias, delusions, and many other types of emotional ups and downs to say the least.. where our thinking is impaired. We must have multiple mature Christian counselors to help us. Remember God created the world and the universe, He created us too, So we must trust Him in guiding, counseling, teaching, even healing us, with our doctors guidance in taking your medicine. Jesus Lives !
