The only thing &quot;preventing&quot; them from suffering it is the psychologist&#39;s prescribed &quot;methods&quot;. And should the &quot;methods&quot; fail, I supposed the psychiatrist will start looking for scapegoats instead of admitting to doctoral failure.<\/p>\n<p>Besides biblical remedy in Romans 5:6, 8, 10, where we must admit that we were without strength, sinners and enemies of God,<\/p>\n<p>Jesus has called His children to be wise as serpents. (Mat 10:6)<\/p>\n<p>Peter urged believers to grow in KNOWLEDGE of Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:5-8, 2 Peter 3:18)<\/p>\n<p>Being a Christian should make one wiser, not dumber. However, I&#39;m sad to see many churches today focus so much on Numbers, Quantity, Numbers, that they treat quality for granted, presuming that God will provide the quality, since they are &quot;saved&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>This is why you see many Christians being used, taken advantage of, or close shut from non-believers, not able to shine the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ. Yes, all will face suffering, but those who do well in God&#39;s favor know what suffering lies ahead and are prepared for it.<\/p>\n<p>We must face the truth, no hide from it. For the truth shall set us free.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[@more@]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many psychologists find ways to hide, suppress or replace emotional trauma in &quot;patients&quot;.
