Scripture: Isaiah 61 v 1- 3; Psalm 149 v 6 - 9; James 4 v
7.
Depression is always a spiritual attack. No matter how
many years you take anti-depressant pills, when you stop the medication the
depression returns. Depression has been
described in Isaiah as "heaviness" and people have said that its when
everything negative lands on top of you at once and a sense of hopeless defeat
envelops you in this miserable black cloud of despair. It becomes a complete
malfunction at times. Depression is one of the leading reasons for suicicidal
tendencies.
In Isaiah God sends the garment of praise for the SPIRIT
of heaviness. He is telling us that this
is a spiritual problem that needs a spiritual solution. He knows that when you praise Him He is on
the scene to bind the rulers of darkness who bring depression on people. Psalm
149 v 6-9. So if you suffer bouts of depression put on some good Gospel praise
songs and sing along even if that is the last thing you want to do. Praising
God brings the cavalry that will destroy the spirit of heaviness.
The root of depression is in the occult realm. This realm
is filled with things like glassy-glassy or ouija board; fortune tellers; astrology;
astral projection; spiritualism; martial arts; Zen; Feng Shui; heavy metal
music; rap music; witchcraft; drugs; cults; Freemaonry; Dungeons and Dragons
role playing games etc. There are evil spirits that control each of these
activities that have a severe influence over vulnerable people.
If you open the door to the occult - you open Pandora's
Box for real. You invite these spirits to invade your life. You usually have no
idea about any
of this "harmless fun" having a negative effect
on your life. Unless you have been taught in Church about
spiritual warfare you remain ignorant about the dangers you expose yourself and
your family to.
The big baddie is called the Kundalini or Ki. Also known
as Prana or The Force. He specialises in sexual perversions; drug addiction;
manic depression; spinal injury; occult power and death. Those spirits to whom
you submit yourself they are your lord. If Jesus is your Lord and Saviour you
have a way of escape. If not, not.
The way out of this mess is to first confess all occult
(and any other) sin to the Lord Jesus Christ and utterly reject it. Burn books,
objects, and clothing connected to the occult and witchcraft. When you have
submitted to God in this way you must then RESIST Satan. Actively reject and
refuse to let him and his demons manipulate you. Declare aloud that the Blood
of Jesus has set you free then start praising God and the depression WILL flee.
