I Simply Want the Pain to Stop
We all have pain and we want the pain to stop, but the pain is telling us something. What if we could identify the pain and stop the suicide slide?
It’s pain and we want it to stop.
It could be physical pain from body ailments, but it could also be pain coming from traumas past and present. Grief, loss, anger, loneliness, the daily stress load of life that causes us to slump. It’s pain.
Recently I learned something about pain.
For the past year, I’ve had a sore back. I would take panadol at night to help me sleep. I also went to a physiotherapist and did exercises. All of which helped a little, but not completely.

The Five Best Practices to Restore the Soul

The practices of your week and day may drain your life, but what practices restore your soul? ‘Oh, that’s so good for the soul’ Sometimes I hear people say that. Sometimes I say it myself.

A Place to Restore your Mental Health

Life and activity can drain our mental health, but there are places to restore. Take notice and soak in them. There is a place I want to go to. The gardens are beautiful.

Six Qualities of People that Restore the Soul

Life can give you a battering at times, but there are some people that seem to be able to come alongside and help you restore. I didn’t need advice or problem solving.

What Restores the Soul: The Three ‘P’s’

I’ve Had More than Enough of Being Held in Contempt
zhlédnutí 13Před měsícem
Ive had more than enough of being held in contempt, but when I know divine approval, I can rise again. It was like they were at the bottom of the pecking order and being held there. People had contempt for them. The word ‘contempt’ is one we don’t often use. To be ‘held in contempt’, in a general sense, simply means that a person is despised or strongly disapproved of. I was recently sent this ...
Five Reasons Why They Will Never Change

When the stress gets too much
zhlédnutí 8Před měsícem
Many years ago I was taught a model called the Stress-Vulnerability model developed by Dr. Ian Falloon. The little video below goes through the basic principles of it, but one of the key teachings I took from it was that if you put the body under too much stress, then the body will express signs of unwellness. It could be high blood pressure, stomach ulcers, migraines, etc but for us, with an i...
There is No Rejection in God
zhlédnutí 13Před 2 měsíci
The cold wind of rejection can bite deep, but we are not alone. God knows rejection and can give us perspective and a new home of acceptance. I don’t think there is such a cold wind as the wind of rejection. I don’t want you in my life. You’re not welcome here. Go away. I’ve seen someone, who I thought was a friend, turn their whole body to look another way to avoid any form of connection. Reje...

Beautiful Barry!
Thanks Joyce
It’s true, the people described in the Bible, and their story of trials and hardship, have parallel experiences as we do today. Jesus meets them where they are. Jesus Christ is hope and new life for me. I hope I can be a blessing to others as He has been for me. Wonderful story.
Thanks. Yes, its so encouraging to know others have 'been there, done that, got the T-shirt' of experiences we are having in the now. Jesus meets us where we are at. Not where we hope to be.
I definitely have #4, maybe #1, but struggle with the rest. I also struggle with knowing what someone needs from me. I too often end up in long term situations where the person just seems to want to be miserable, so of course I start to FASS with serious pressure. I'm not sure if I have these people in my life, but I would love to have these qualities.
Good comments here Jill. I could write a few posts out of these. I think its important to realise that their life is not your responsibility. Victims will want you to take responsibility, but you have to pushing it back to them. Their response is their responsibility. Well done
Good advice as I need to make sure I take time for the practices that help me. I have also struggled so much with the people part. I keep filling my life with people who need me, so when I need restoration I have to unplug completely.
Good points Jill. Yes, being intentional about self care, taking time to fill ones own cup. I think the 'people part' is the hardest area. Being open to recieve (previous video/ post) is a surrendering - vulnerable position. What would it be like to have some one come and self sacrifically give life into you? (Rhetorical question - i.e. you dont have to answer here on CZcams 😊)
Hope you feel better soon Barry
Classic school story
So you had a teacher like that too?
No one hit my desk but Mr B was distantly elderly from an 8 years old and prone to sharp anger
Very good Barry.

This is one of the very best challenges I've ever come across. I immediately saw the seriousness of having a grab bag. Thank You I'll probably have to watch this video several times in order to write down everything you've said, but that's ok. Again! Thank You. (For Caring) God Bless
Thanks Philip, its all in the blog post. Its also a bag to use everyday as such, not just in emergencies
Hypnotism might work and a more correct appraisal of whether or not they face an assault as most of us know that though the feeling is there that there could be an assault on or a covert danger coming from the person interacting with you by invite or not ! otherwise silence is a darned good defense. There is no god. If you start hearing voices please see a doctor before you start to suffer from the darker side of "the voice" Doctors are very used to this kind of distress and it doesn't mean you are a loony just that some chemicals in the brain have reacted to your basic anxiety state.
Thanks again Barry. The height of the rose petals impresses me almost as much as your happiness in its company
Yes, its a beautiful rose
Hi pastor praise the lord
As I grapple with life and faith, I am again studying Job and I'm at the question of "what does to curse God mean?" This was very insightful and helpful, thank you!
Thanks Marama. Ive been doing a series on Job. If you want to read more of the series then go to turningthepage.co.nz/tag/job/ Job is a fascinating study of pain, suffering and how is with us in the mystery of it all
I am grateful for your content and your ministry. God bless you for your faithfulness and your willingness to serve and share the messages laid on your heart. 🙏
Thank you for sharing Marisa.

I’m listening to podcasts after you thought you might stop videos. Such great encouragement thank you
I really enjoy your messages, and positive new perspective. I'm going to do your 60 day prayer. :)
Thanks Holly, let me know how it goes
Thank you for sharing, I was actually wondering how you do it! Well you do a very good job, thank you. :)
I'm so glad you decided to do more on youtube, i pray it's more positive for you. You seem so kind:)
Job is actually very straight forward. We suffer bc God is letting Satan torment us to test our loyalty to Him. Also, we are mere humans so we have no right to ask why we suffer.
Your speech here on CZcams can only be described as patronizing at best. Like seeing a drowning man in the water and waving to him from a distance as you pass by on your luxury liner shouting "God loves you, friend."
Hello Barry.Nice to hear from you.Hope family is fine.Yes will agree when I look up at the stars I dn t feel a comfort? Because the stars are (balls of Gas made up of helium Nitrogen etc.I have been doing a deep research in the Stars this past month.(what is interesting though ab the stars is the same elements that are in the human body.So I find that interesting.I am not convinced though that is humans when they die.I am doing more research on this subject.yes when I look up at the stars (I feel there must be a higher power than humans when we study the Universe.+I think most of us have some form of mental breakdown times in our life (if not treated can lead to schitzphrenia and other mental disorders.(They must be treated I feel by (Councillors Therapy groups and so on.if they are not they lead to dispair suicide.i find if a person has no resources to therapy Sitting with a friend? Could even be off the internet? (Though caution to who we speak to on the internet.(Still many good people to share our thghts of feelings with still on internet.(Though caution should be exercised especially if a person has a mental illness.(Direct them to a Go? Because they have a wide range of sources to help a person battling with mental illness.(Alot of people are suffering Grief/loss and dn t realise it.Again to direct them to their GP. I suffer from Grief/loss but what helps me is Nature.And bonding with a animal .I have 2 budgies 🐦🐦 Kiwi and blui and these 2 little birds helped me alot.plus I love animals (I go and see the swans? When I look at a Swan they draw me to a higher power? Out there.Swans are beautiful created birds.Such beauty about a Swan and these make me thk there must be a higher intelligence because swans as a example like all sorts of birds animals etc are not invented??🤔 But created so I found that was very interesting.If I find out anymore ab my research into the stars will let you know.(My research shows stars and humans are made up of the same elements.And I found that very interesting to know.(so makes you wonder🤔 although not convinced yet that they are humans when they die go there in the sky (Need to do more research on this issues.(Well Barry and mother tk of yourselfs till next time.Fr Faith🙂 Kiwi and blui 🐦🐦 (my budgies) Happy New Year 🙂🐦🐦
Appreciated this message Barry! Important words spoken to our hearts. Thank you.

When you've lost everything in life you suddenly discover that there's nothing left to fear, because it's all happened.
So true. What have you got to lose if you've lost everything?
Interesting.Thats the way I feel about prayers and being answered.Yes that is what I have BN bright up to believe.Go in your bedroom shut the door and pray (and I have done this) too.Maybe God has answered and we dn t realise it.Not so sure yet need more time when praying in secret to a heavenly father.Only time will tell.🐦🐦🐦
Hi it's nice to see you in person.hope your family is well.We are all human made up of the same flesh and blood.So I feel all are valued.However I have always BN bright up to believe the bible us God's Word.But my faith is in jeopardy because I did a study on William Tynedale.Who was the first person to translate the bible into English called as known today as the Christian Bible.And was burnt at the stake by the Catholic church for heresies.before the bible was translated into English (the language at that time was thk Latin and anyone caught reading the bible was also burnt it hung.So the Question is this who is right with God.Because the Catholic church's were here first.The bible being translated into English has only been around a few hundreds years.(they call the Christian Bible (King James version? And now many other translation being printed over the years.My question is this.(If Jesus walked the earth 2.000 yes ago.Why has the bible BN only around for a few hundred years and only since William Ty edale.(It would be good to hear your thghts on this subject.(Regarding William Tyndale.what has rocked my faith is I was shocked to find the Christian Bible was translated into English just a few hundred year ago.So there seems to be a big gap.From a period of Jesus walking the earth 2.000 years ago to just a few years ago of the Bible only being translated in to English.Hope I am making sense bec I am very concerned about this.(Maybe you can do a CZcams video on this subject in the future.Sametime wishing you Barry and family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2023.🙂🐦🐦🐦 (My 3 budgies Kiwi blui Snowy) bye for now Barry tk be safe.

I grew up with there always being a barometer in my father's house as well...good metaphor to ponder these days. I wish it was only the weather affecting us. I could deal with that, but it is the political & cultural 'atmospheric pressure' that just keeps dropping... extremely stormy. "Show me the way wherein I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul." Psalm 143:8b
Thanks Ellen
Spaffords one and only son died in 1880, not 1870/71. There is no evidence that the Spaffords were going to england to help with D. L. Moodys campains. Rather as the name of the Ship "Ville du Havre" suggests they were going to France (the ville dilu Havre serviced the NY, brest Havre root) then continental europe generaly as a second Honeymoon. Spafford himself or more likely P. P. Bliss the composer, made the change from Know to say. My personal theory is, because it beguin as a poem, something to be read on a page, the change reflects that it was to be sang or Spoken as a hymm, hence "Say". In anycase I would be carefull before accusing P. P. Bliss of encouraging Stoicisim.
Thanks for that Kurt.
I'm so glad that I stumbled upon this channel, you truly deserve more views and recognition! Those videos really are a gem.
Thanks. What did you like?
Love the illustration about the hard clay. Having worked with clay and a potter's wheel in college, I know that hard clay is resolved by adding more water, pounding, slicing and lot's of rolling to make it pliable. Maybe God uses a similar method(through hardships) to soften our hearts making us useful for His plans! Years of loneliness has certainly caused me to grow more in love with God as He told me that He was sufficient. Something that I did not comprehend in my 20's and 30's.
Thanks Debbie. Yes, and God never abandons his handiwork
Merry Christmas Barry
Thanks Debbie, hope you had a nice one
Oh, you have picked up on the curve too! I don't think you need to strive to break out of it though. That's egodeath, which is just a death that you can break out of. I think the curve is to be delved into, you will come out the other side anyways. If you go into the curve, instead of fighting it, then you can forget yourself so completely that you achieve the same goal. Go with the flow, so to say. I have no idea if anything I just said is coherent to anyone but myself, alas.
Fascinating! I've always been intimidated by roses...I understand the joy of your victory but just through other plants. Thank you for knowing what to do to bring it to its full, glorious beauty and for encouraging me to trust Elohim with the pruning & wire brushing (ouch!) necessary for His glory. I
Thanks Ellen.
Life is short and people matter more than things. 🙏🏼
Listened on Podbean but had to come here to like it for you, Barry, for me, for algorithms!!! Thanking God for the gift of YOU, encouraging and building up my aching brokenness!!
Hey buddy hope you’re doing ok brother.. I just subbbbeddd ya 😂💓💕💕💕💕🌏🧞♂️💭💭💭 “ Only Life Knows Itself “
Hey Barry, I follow you elsewhere. I found this by searching for info on Larry Crabb's book "Real Church." I attended his School of Spiritual Direction at Glen Eyrie in April 2006 and it has impacted my spiritual growth and counseling practice. WellsCounseling.com
Hi David, great to hear from you. Good to hear my podcast was picked up in this way via your search. I went to SSD back in the early 2000's at Glen Eyrie also. It was a wonderful experience. Grace and Peace
Thanks! I like your style. You have a great approach. I don't know how I fell into your messages, but it's appropriate. I am returning home tonight, after a comic book class, where the teacher made a derogatory slur about me, that was scathingly undermining. I don't speak her language, but I felt that I needed to inquire, and inquire, I did. Oh my, her slur was so awful, culturally revealing about her prejudices. I dealt with it, by reflecting to her, her voice, which is that she was expressing that her perception, was that i was a person to whom was not to be trusted. I allowed myself, to be with the emotional intensity, of asking for consciousness, of prejudice . Bring consciousness, to prejudice. Allow for light, allow for the prejudice, to participate in an exchange, that is not emotionally charged, but curious. I find it fascinating, how language, and words, are lies. Intent, and spirit, are what matter. Thank you
Thanks Suzanne. Glad you found my content helpful. If you would like more then come over to my website turningthepage.info/
As you may know, there's a heroine epidemic in the United States, that is clearly being under-acknowledged. This message is so controversial that there are forces, that would impede the actual recovery of our society. It's just interesting to hear the ancient premises of what it was like, for even the building of Israel to achieve. Truth, is not always welcomed.
very good!
thank you barry for sharing your video it's certainly helped and encouraged us to work on moving forward without looking way too forward in the future and facing the reality of opposition in our lives :) blessings
Thanks Jimmy, always appreciate your comments
Great, Barry! I never looked at it that way. Awesome and many thanks for sending this video.
Thanks Kay, hope you had a great day
Great to hear from you Barry, well, see you actually! I think you're right, there's a mass of people suffering with mental and emotional health issues and modern technology is the best way to connect. I for one appreciate your writings - they are practical and make a lot of sense. And it's not too much to ask people to support you and pay a little for the support you provide. After all, writing good content takes time and as the saying goes, time is money. It's time you could be out there earning an income in another way. So bless you for your generosity and I hope more people respond.
