“A merry heart doeth good like medicine : but a broken spirit drieth the bones”. – Prov. 17:22(KJV)
Depression means a feeling of utter hopelessness, a state of despondency and self-disgust. It results in Loss of perspective which can lead to idealization of self- inflicted injury or suicide. The author and designer of depression is Satan. Depression chokes the brain! It robs the mind (Luke 8:14). It blinds the mind! (2 Corinthians 4:4). It is a very destructive weapon of the enemy. It is a destroyer that makes victim of men. It must be fought!
Depression enters the mind to block it from the light of the glorious gospel. It chokes the Word and makes the mind unproductive.
When you are depressed, your access to God’s presence is blocked (Psalm 100.1-5) as the only way to enter God presence is through thanksgiving and praise. These are absent in a depressed mind. Depression disconnects you from God and by so doing destroy your harvest. If the devil can plant depression in you then he has spoilt your day and has set in motion the derailing of your destiny. Depression is the worst enemy of your destiny. Depression brings a man under a curse (Deut. 28:47-48), by eroding your joy and at the same time frustrating your thanksgiving to God.
Depression cuts of your joy and retards your flight to your high places. Satan brings cares, worries and anxieties to cause you to be depressed and thereby making the word of God to be meaningless and unimportant to you.
Depression can be contagious so avoid a depressed person. Depression can destroy your health (Proverbs 17:22). This is Satan’s heart desire towards you.
The moment you subscribe to depression, things that should be walking begins to fail.
Depression can rupture your destiny and terminate your life prematurely. So beware!
Prayer: Dear LORD help me to constantly operate in love and joy
