26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
During her marathon of interviews, Lola said, “I wasn't reminding myself of God’s truth and filling my mind in anxious moments with God instead of believing these lies that aren’t from God.”
She also reflected on the self-doubt she experienced during her time in New York City. “I’d wake up with all these anxious thoughts like, ‘What does this person think of me?’ or 'What if I said something wrong in that interview?'”
“When I feel really anxious, I start to feel really bad physically. I will feel dizzy, lightheaded, nauseous, just all of these really bad feelings,” she added. “And then I start to freak myself out, that there’s actually something physically wrong with me.”
This occurred during this incident in New York. The article goes on to say that Lola said...
... “It was so scary because it was like everything felt like it was going in phases. It was like I couldn’t remember what I said five seconds ago.”In that conversation, she relates this: “Basically, what we did is we went through every single lie I was believing in that moment and I repented against the lie and I came out of agreement with what the enemy was telling me,” The article says, "During that conversation, Lola said she and her sisters in Christ then replaced 'every lie I was believing with Scripture.'" She added:
After going into her sister’s room at the hotel, Lola began playing worship music on the television. “I actually convinced myself I died. I literally was like I felt so out of body, I felt so disconnected from where I was. I literally was like, ‘oh my gosh, did I die.’”
Lola then called her “sisters in Christ” and began to feel "the presence of God" and the "peace of Jesus.”
“There was a moment where the peace of God literally [...] washed over my mind. It felt like Jesus put His hand on me and instantly, every single feeling I felt was gone. It left. It literally was gone instantly. The second I start speaking Scripture over myself, the second I start replacing every single lie from the enemy with God’s truth, the power of God that I experienced was unexplainable.”
Lola shared these comments on her podcast. She comes from a show-business family and is a relatively new Christian...the Christian Post article reports:
Lola Sheen, the daughter of famous actors Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards, recently revealed how she drew closer to Jesus Christ during a "very bad panic attack."
The 19-year-old first began sharing her newfound Christian faith on Instagram in January when she posted a clip of her baptism and a follow-up post detailing how her embrace of Christianity made her life “worth living.”
The Christian community has certainly been calling attention to the arena of mental health. Because, when we accepted Jesus as our Savior, He has given us a new heart, a new life. And, that includes the capacity to develop of sense of soundmindedness, according to 2nd Timothy chapter 1. It's that stability of our minds that helps us to counter fear that the enemy would bring against us and to reject the anxiety that seems to be so prevalent.
In an age that is conducive to producing panic, even to the extent of people being manipulated to act in a certain way, we can choose the way of Christ, which is a way of peace and security. But, we cannot effectively find that security in the world's answers - we must turn to the Scriptures and the abiding presence of God so that we reject fear and panic and accept God's faithfulness and His peace.
