Faith, Hindering Spirits and Taking Your Power Back

Episode Overview

Faith requires action; relying on God includes taking practical steps rather than waiting passively.
Maintaining a relationship with the Holy Ghost brings peace and comfort during intense adversity.
Setting boundaries and backup plans helps protect against disappointment and emotional burnout.
Trusting God above people reduces the damage caused by broken promises and manipulative behaviour.
Working on fruits of the Spirit such as patience and self-control leaves less room for judgement of others.

“You can have all the faith in the world, but if you don’t do anything about it, it’s not going to come to pass.”

How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? This teaching session with Dr Theresa M Bell leans hard into that question through a faith-filled look at hindering spirits, double-mindedness, and the Holy Ghost. Drawing from James 1, Dr Bell talks candidly about living with restrictions, feeling ambushed by life, and yet choosing peace through a relationship with the Spirit of God.

She jokes about needing her glasses and traffic frustrations, but pairs the humour with serious truth: "Faith without works is dead" keeps coming up as a central theme. Blindly saying "I’m just trusting God" while ignoring practical steps—like dealing with landlords, court notices, or bills—is shown as a dangerous form of spiritual passivity. The teaching will resonate with anyone facing addiction, anxiety, or constant setbacks.

Dr Bell speaks openly about disappointment, being a single mum, financial pressure, and people who "play mind games" or enjoy seeing others let down. She stresses the need to keep a measure of control, set backup plans, and avoid putting total trust in people who repeatedly fail to show up. You’ll also hear her unpack what it means to be double-minded: praying on one side while worrying and leaning on your own understanding on the other.

She links this to emotional burnout and the risk of a spiritual "nervous breakdown" if you don’t put practical supports in place. The Holy Ghost is described as comforter, peace, and inner fire, helping people stand firm amid jealousy, gossip, and sabotaging behaviour. Along the way, Dr Bell highlights patience, wisdom, self-care, and the danger of idolising others, even loved ones.

For anyone in recovery who’s tired of feeling spiritually stuck and emotionally drained, this episode offers straight-talking, faith-based guidance on reclaiming choice, honouring God, and protecting your heart. Ready to rethink how you trust God and take action at the same time?
