Overcoming Depression

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13).

Depression robs us of all that God wants for us. It is a destructive feeling that can multiply itself until it consumes our every thought. Depression feeds on negative thinking and may not stop until it overwhelms us causing us to feel all is hopeless. Depression will rob us of our feelings of self-worth, our ability to love and be loved, self-respect. I believe it can most importantly rob us of our very faith in God! “Satan get behind me!” Jesus proclaimed. For sure depression is a weapon of the evil one and he tries to use it on us all the time.
You can overcome depression. Fill your mind with the things of God – read and study your Bible every single day. You will gain confidence and inner peace by learning how God thinks, His will and His ways. In (Isaiah 26:3) read; “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is kept on You, because he trusts You.”
Each day spend time with God in prayer acknowledging who He is and what He does for you and your life. Take all your concerns, worries and doubts to Him. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you where you may have sin that you may not be aware of. Confess all sin, pray for God’s protection over your life and deliver you from your depression. God will deliver you. “Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them” (Mark 11:24).
Make an appointment with your pastor and share with him or her what is bringing you down, they can help you. Remember, you are a special person! Your feelings count. You deserve to be happy and secure and God will see you through your problems no matter what! I am believing the “Son” is getting ready to shine in your life! Like Christ, I too love you and pray His best for you. May His Spirit lift you way up this day.

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...

A Promise is a Promise

When you were a child did your parents ever promise to take you somewhere special for your birthday? Maybe they promised you could stay up late with them the night of your birthday? You never doubted their promises did you? I mean, a promise is a promise. If they told you they were going to do something you just knew it was going to happen! I remember how excited I was when my parents promised me something and they gave it to me!  I’ll never forget how I trusted them. Neither can I forget the promises God has made and kept for me in my lifetime. He has always been faithful to deliver what He has promised to me. Sometimes the evil one tries to convince me God hasn’t delivered though. He tries to convince me God changes His mind. Its times like this that I will to remain strong. I read what God says and declare how great my God is! Just because we don’t see His fulfillment according to our understanding at that particular time does not mean He hasn’t done it or isn’t going to do ...
