17.Unto You, O my Strength, I will sing praises; for God is my Defense, my Fortress, and High Tower, the God Who shows me mercy and steadfast love.
Psalm 59:17
Speak the Word
This I think is the most important weapon we have against depression. Below is a list of healing verses. I suggest that you read them aloud. Try to memorize a couple of them. "Hide His word in your heart" it will give you strength and courage to fight on. Ephesians 6:17 delcares "...and take the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. This is part of the armor of God which we'll look at a little later on this page. I can't stress enough how important God's
Word is. His Word gives us power to be set free from depression.
Praise Him!!
Surprised? You really shouldn't be. I know this from years of experience one of the first things that really fights depression and fear is to praise God. The fact is God dwells, lives, and abides in the praises of His people.
Is this new to you? Well I'll give you a crash course in praising God. Open your mouth and simply say "Thank you Jesus!", "I praise You God!" "I thank you God for every blessing in my life"! Say it out loud. Nothing lifts the spirit like praising God. No matter how depressed you are praise Him!!! Try it for me. What have you to lose? Everything to gain!!
Yes the battle is already won. It was won two thousand years ago when Jesus died on the cross of Calvary. That's a fact. It sure seems sometimes that we're fighting the war of our life. It get's so dark and stormy on this sea of life. I've felt that I was going down to the depths of a deep, deep, sea to drown. But no, we hold on and somehow we keep afloat. That's no way to live though. Let's get our feet on the Solid Rock, Christ Jesus.
