TOPIC : HEALING FOR THE DEPRESSED

TEXT: DEUTERONOMY 31:8 "The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged".


Depression can be expressed in various ways depending on the trigger. Depression could be a feeling of hopelessness, frustration, anxiety, loss of interest, tiredness/loss of energy. In our generation there are so many factors that can lead to depression like drug abuse, traumatic events, low self esteem etc. It is important to realize that Jesus Christ is the cure for depression. He knows that situation/circumstances would arise that would make us afraid or discouraged, that is why He says " I will go before you and will be with you, I will never forsake you." The love that Jesus Christ has for us can not be quantified. The knowledge and power of this love should make us hopeful without despair or discouragement.

when we come to the understanding that Jesus Christ should be the reason for our existence every other thing becomes minute. Psalm 9:9 says "The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble". So when you feel oppressed or troubled run to Him. His grace is sufficient for you.

In life there are so many experiences that can weigh you down, just hang on and hold on to Jesus. He will never disappoint you.

Remember life without Christ is  full of crisis.


STAY BLESSED.

Speak Blessing Over Your Family

Psalm 5:12 For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield. What do you believe and say to your loved ones every day? For orthodox Jews, on Friday evenings in their homes, the father lays his hands on his children and pronounces God’s blessings over them. No wonder Jewish children grow up to be winners in the fight of life! They become some of the world’s greatest inventors, bankers, musicians and entertainers. Although a minority race, the Jews have produced the most number of Nobel Prize winners. I believe that it is because they bless their children in the same way the patriarchs of the Old Testament did. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob released God’s blessings upon their children by laying hands on them and speaking forth the blessings. (Genesis 27:27–29, 38–40; 48:14–16) In the New Testament, the apostles pronounced blessings over the churches they were preaching to. To the church in Philippi, Paul declare

4 More Ways to Receive a Fresh Anointing In addition to spending personal time with God, here are 4 more things to consider as you seek a fresh anointing from God for your life and ministry: 1. A Fresh Encounter with God Through His Word ‘And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.’ (2 Cor 3:18) The Greek word translated ‘contemplate’ in this verse, means to look into a mirror. [3] In context, Paul is saying that we don’t have a blinded understanding—we have the fullness of the Gospel that reveals Jesus. It is on God’s heart that you encounter Him in the Bible, catching a fresh revelation of Who He is and see mirrored there who you are in the process of becoming. When you do, you experience transformation, you encounter God and you receive a fresh touch from Him. 2 . Make Room for More ‘In a large house there are articles not only of gol
