The spirit of depression [1]

Welcome to the Monday blog! May you be helped by Holy Spirit in all you do this week! Congratulations on your testimonies in advance!

Sooooo… l found this picture on  Pinterest as l was just browsing for cute outfits. I was like whoa!! This explains depression so perfectly. The weight of the spirit behind it is so heavy like the elephant and the mind is the bubble, so fragile. Depression is a spirit more than it is, a medical issue. Infact, life is spiritual. Anything you see in the natural has its origin in the spirit. This is why a pill can help you “manage” it but you may still not be “free” from it. It is because freedom doesn’t exist in the world of Satan.

Medicine seeks to address what’s INSIDE the mind but it’s what’s SITTING ON the mind that’s the problem. I hope you can see the difference. You can come inside the house but you can also decide you sit on-top which is the roof. If I’m too heavy I can break the roof and shatter the house. Depression is like that. Only ever comes into the mind either consented by the person or it growing to the point where the mind crashes. You find that a person is okay one minute and the next they wanna die. It is a spirit that comes UPON the mind. The spirit grows from eating your mind. Big today, bigger tomorrow. Let’s read about Saul.. He became subject to fits of intense mental agony, under which his reasoning gave way, and temporary insanity, depression, accompanied by outbreaks of violence, came on. He became unfit to lead…( 1Sam16 )

There are people who are out of their minds because dominion was given to a spirit . Did you know you can hand over your mind to spirits? That’s what we do even when we yield to Holy Spirit. We do so by “thinking patterns”. So this means, you can give permission or deny access to the spirit of depression. YOU have the power. YOU have the ability. YOU are the one who decides how the game is played.

That’s why you cannot be a careless thinker, there’s an elephant coming for your mind but wherever the Spirit of the Lord is there’s freedom. I need you to learn to say NO! No to the thoughts! Remember , thoughts are destroyed by words. Open your mouth and say it, “I reject that thought of suicide ! No! I will not allow that elephant to sit on my brain! I refuse it” watch that elephant run away!!! What you don’t reject you accept. And some of us are here because we accepted. Accepted depression or accepted the mind of Christ. It’s battle . If you lose it, you lose a chance to have a fruitful life. Hear what God says , 

”“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”“
