Another elephant picture, showing a perfect example of a bully and how very fragile we become when we are depressed. It feeds on our strength, no mercy! Little butterfly can’t fly anymore, her life is disrupted, no liberty, no freedom to even leave the seesaw. The atmosphere around looks so beautiful, perfect for a butterfly to fly but ……
Have you ever been little butterfly? I have. You feel as though you’re carrying the whole world on your shoulders. You want to overpower and overcome but somehow even the will to, Is eaten away. What happens when the little butterfly can’t fly? She wants to die.
My friend, the devil’s plan is to eat away all that you’re passionate about, dim your light, the things that make you feel alive, so that in the end, you take a rope and hang yourself. Depression is a death trap. Every single moment of it is a step towards the grave. That is why l want you to understand that depression is not the “testing of your faith” it is “demonic oppression”. A BULLY MUST BE CONFRONTED, that’s what we’re doing here. Confronting Satan!
Go back to the picture, do you realise that the butterfly has a chance to fly away? She doesn’t have to sit there and take all that pain. See, the devil wants you to forget about your gifts, talents, your passions because when you take that from a person, you have taken their will to be or do anything. He does that not by cutting off your wings, he can’t because Gods gifts to us are irrevocable, he simply whispers to you daily, “You’re a just worm” until a butterfly in the physical becomes a worm in the spiritual realm because as a man thinks so is he. What makes for a person to live as the opposite sex is that they think they are exactly that, so in actions they become what they think as opposed to who they truly are by God’s original creation plan. Thoughts! Very powerful!
Depression is a bully. It doesn’t care for your pretty face or muscular arms. You will cry at 50 as much as you cried at birth. You will beg yourself to be strong, sometimes add more hours of sleep, refuse to leave your room, cut off people because the devil is not playing with you, he is an enemy, he is aggressive, he wants your life! It’s not the fact that you’re broke or went through hardship, there’s a snake in the grass, hiding behind what may be “life experiences” using them as a door to finish you off. Approximately 280 million people in the world have depression. More than 700 000 people die due to suicide every year. THE DEVIL IS A LIAR!!!!!!
”Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.“
1 Peter 5:8 NIV
”Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.“ Philippians 4:8 NIV
Is it true that you’re ugly? No. Don’t think about it. Is it lovely to always think about drinking poison? No. So don’t think about it. Is it admirable to keep pondering about how much you lack compared to others? No! So refuse to allow your mind to be the playground of the devil. Your mind is not a home for demons to play seesaw. We will be looking at the causes of depression, quite a sensitive topic, I pray for the grace to write by the wisdom of God so that when we’re done with this particular topic, there is freedom INDEED!
You’re such a special person! Did you know? You can fly. You can overcome. You can feel alive again. You , my darling, have God on your side ! You’re the beloved of GOD! This is not to make you emotional , this is TRUTH! ❤️
”Gaze upon him, join your life with his, and joy will come. Your faces will glisten with glory. You’ll never wear that shame-face again.“
Psalms 34:5 TPT
