But, allow me.

My dear sister who was baptized in our church family in the mighty name of Jesus has a remarkable testimony. She was out with another sister at a restaurant. When they left they both walked to their vehicle to drive home. Two men were on a spree of strongarm hold ups that night and happened to come across the two sisters walking to their car. The men waited for them to unlock their vehicle and proceed to rob them at gun point. The men told the sisters to hand over everything, and while that was being done the one sister had a 38.cal held to her chest. I personally don't believe the men wanted to shoot her, but in all their fearful emotion the gun went off point blank dead in her chest. She said as the weapon went off she looked into his face and said "God bless you in Jesus name." The men ran off, leaving the sister bleeding with a gun shot wound. Rushed to the hospital and in the emergency room. The doctors streamed into her room, because they couldn't believe that one, she was alive, and two, she was so pleasantly peaceful. She told the church family she felt like a celebrity. Because of all the attention from the hospital staff.

That was Saturday night, Sunday morning I received the phone call from the elder of the church, informing me what happened that the sister was shot. I waited on the phone for the inevitable. Yet, the elder told me she was on her way to church. Needless to say I was not only blown away, but was elated to hear such a testimony of Christ. She was moving slow that morning, and you could see her pain. But it was eclipsed by the power and glory of Jesus Christ in her face.

She understands the effects that shootings have on the youth in Broward and Dade. Our young Hispanics know youth who have never recovered. Yet, she understands the difference between her and anyone else isn't some mental discipline, or human toughness. She fully understands the power of Jesus name, the power of the Holy Ghost working through her as the bullet knocked her back, the power of Christ which summoned her to tell her attacker "God bless you in JESUS name!

Bro, believe me, that was no dig, no jab, but a special moment of just one person who has overcome because of Jesus name. Not of themselves.

Hence my question was posed the way it was posted.

Listen silent pondering isn't a bad thing, but Apostolic worship in Jesus name, can take a bullet and make it a testimony.

Re: Prophetic word by Bro Arcovio "no election"

How come its only been since Vietnam that vets have "PTSD" that requires all this therapy and avoidance of triggers and so forth?

Speaking of which, my dad was a Nam combat vet. Point man, tunnel rat, volunteer for a recon company, in I Corps in 67-68, A Shau Valley, Kham Duc, even went to Laos (off the record, of course). Had 17 confirmed KIAs, one by hand-to-hand with a knife (turned out to be a 15-16 yr old girl doing her part for Uncle Ho). Plus a dozen or so unconfirmed kills. Held several close friends as they died, entrails blown out, brains leaking out the back of their head, etc. Infantry, it's what's for dinner in the Meatgrinder.

He was nuts, plain and simple. Wound up drinking almoat a gallon of vodka a day for YEARS. Never missed a day of work, though, until he died at home one weekend and failed to show up Monday morning. Borderline psychotic, full blown "flash backs", the whole nine yards. Classic "crazy Vietnam veteran."

And I know for a fact he'd slap anybody silly who was talking about "I got PTSD, man, I got triggers."

We have since the 60s inculcated a victim mentality in people. Vets are told you got a mental disorder (my dad would have laughed and said "well, NO KIDDING, duuuuh"). They are told they need meds and "safe spaces" instead of being taught how to actually "deal with it".

I watched first hand how combat vets "deal with it", and it ain't by whining about how tuff it is. Might take a couple bottles of whiskey to work through it but it takes two vets, one on one, talking through things. Lot cheaper than a lifetime of psychiatric hogwash. And that's not even counting on the power of God! In which case, no liquor needed.

Good grief.

Re: Prophetic word by Bro Arcovio "no election"

Educate yourselves on PTSD.

Not everyone suffers from it.

It takes less trauma for some to get it than others.

It has more to do with brain chemistry, not emotion.

It is an actual biochemical change in the brain. It's actually a physical injury.

God heals some and not others.

Those who aren't healed can often feel the only way out is suicide.

To mock this is dangerous.

To compare people only demonstrates a lack of understanding what PTSD is.

Many soldiers in WWII and prior had it too. It was known as shell shock and battle fatigue.
