đFREEDOM from DEPRESSION
One of Satanâs deadliest tools is depression. Sometimes it is the result of a chemical imbalance which requires professional care, however all too often it is caused by a spiritual issue. If the devil can keep you in the darkness and gloom, it is easier for him to control your emotions, making you feel alone, isolated, and hopeless. When you are depressed, your thoughts are distorted and not to be trusted. You tell yourself that no one loves you, youâre ugly, disgusting, and worthless. But that's exactly what the devil wants you to feel and think. It is part of his evil plan to steal not only your joy, but your power to resist him. Satan is quite clever and doesnât throw everything at you all at once. First, he hits you with disappointment, lets that simmer until it turns into discouragement, which then boils into full-fledged depression. The longer you remain in this depressive state, the deeper you sink into the darkness, further and further away from God. And just like that, the devil wins! But God wants to give you joy, peace, and hope. He tells us in John 10:10, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." The only way to win the battle over depression is to win the war over your feelings. To do this requires Godâs strength. Stay in His Holy Word, listening to His still, small voice saying, âHang on to Me - Iâve got you! You are my child, and I love you with an everlasting love. You are My creation. You are beautiful and wonderfully made. You can come out of the darkness, for with My strength . . . all things are possible.â Take back control of your feelings by claiming Philippians 4:13, âI can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.â At the very first onset of disappointment, before it develops into anything more, follow Godâs advice in James 4:7, âSubmit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.â Donât allow depression to rule your life. Send the devil packing by giving God the power to shine His light within you - forcing all darkness to disappear. Text: Psalm 30:11, Psalm 40:2, Matthew 11:28-30, Psalm 23:4
