I am 30 years old. I was brought up Catholic and always believed in
Jesus, but I definitely was a Christian out of habit.
Since my early 20s I had generalized anxiety, with
occassional panic attacks. This also had related
depression. I was prescribed various Anti-Depressant and
Anti-Anxiety medication because of this. I did not
like the idea of having to take medication every day,
but it seemed to be the only way. Since the summer of
1999 I took varying daily doses of Effexor XR
(150mg) and rarely Klonopin (1mg). Effexor
is known to cause severe withdrawal symtoms. I
stopped taking the medication at the end of 2001.
This was not a pleasant experience, horrible withdrawal
symptoms and the anxiety came back seemingly stronger
than ever. I had to go back to taking it again after
about 6 weeks. I felt like a failure.
I still wanted to be free of this medication. During
the following spring I searched for a solution.
During the month of May, I found to the teachings of Bruno
Groening , a German spiritual healer from the 1950s,
by chance through the internet. I did not know that God
still works healing miracles today, but through the teachings
and healing testimonies I started to believe.
I started to pray/meditate daily and opened myself up to the grace of God. I asked God to take away the illness and fill me with health.
I started to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit in my body, a
truly wonderfully, divine experience. My trust in God became
the most important focus in my life. Towards the end of the summer,
I had a couple periods of cleansing where I had headaches
and feeling ill for a few days. I stopped
taking all medication in early September 2002. I
experienced minimal withdrawal effects. The difference between my previous
attempt and this one was nothing short of amazing. I feel better now
than I felt when taking the 'happy' medication. It has now been 6 months.
I am now fully convinced that God actively works in our lives today,
where I was always taught that praying and worship was only to achieve a
place in heaven. Bruno's teachings have led me to Christ. I have now
accepted Christ into my heart and have a new, positive view on life.
I have started to go to church again, to thank God for everything good in
my life. I now have many questions on how
to proceed, but I know that I have begun a wonderful journey.
Thanks, Patrick
