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...

By His Authority

God has given His authority. God’s plan for authority has been given to His people: authority in the church (1 Peter 5:1-2) which says, “shepherd the flock of God which is among you;” authority in the home (Colossians 3:18-25,) “Wives submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord, as is fitting in the Lord;” authority in your workplace (Ephesians 6:5-9) “Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters…; and authority in civil government (Romans    13:1-7) “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God….” Authority as planned by God seems awkward and unfitting in today’s societies – not that His plan is inappropriate, certainly this is not true. It is more that people have deviated from God’s plan to what seems more suited to their personal lives for whatever reasons they justify. It is it any wonder we have dysfunctional families, government and na...

God never changes who He is

The popular cry of the people here in America today is for “change.” Yet in some parts of the world there are those who use all means, including terrorism to resist it. There are some people who are determined to leave ancient traditions, and often times, corruptible governments just as they are, and have been for hundreds of thousands of years. Many of these nations do not recognize God. God is always the same; today, tomorrow, and forever. He never changes; this knowledge about Him enables us to have total reliability in Him. His character is as follows: God is omnipotent . All power is His, and nothing is beyond His control. He enforces His perfect will. He is unstoppable by any force in heaven or on earth! God is omnipresent. He is everywhere imaginable and unimaginable all at the same time! No person or place is beyond His presence. Space and time are before Him always. He determines everything for all places and all persons. God is omniscient. All that is happening to all ...
