Thank you brother sharing so many good truths with me. i agree knowing Jesus is awesome when depressed. His loving truth has made me stronger than my depressive bouts can bring to bear. No one is as good as Jesus in helping those fight the darkness.
i was rather disappointed at first that Jesus wouldn't heal my depressive illness, but i have learned to appreciate His work in my life down the dumps.
In my weakness He is strongest and that is all that counts. For i don't want myself in my weakness for eternity but i know in Him i'm not weak at all but very strong.
Thanking Jesus for His good life, His word is sure coming true.
Isaiah 65:17-25
“See, I will create
new heavens and a new earth.
The former things will not be remembered,
nor will they come to mind.
But be glad and rejoice forever
in what I will create,
for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight
and its people a joy.
I will rejoice over Jerusalem
and take delight in my people;
the sound of weeping and of crying
will be heard in it no more.
“Never again will there be in it
an infant who lives but a few days,
or an old man who does not live out his years;
the one who dies at a hundred
will be thought a mere child;
the one who fails to reach a hundred
will be considered accursed.
They will build houses and dwell in them;
they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
No longer will they build houses and others live in them,
or plant and others eat.
For as the days of a tree,
so will be the days of my people;
my chosen ones will long enjoy
the work of their hands.
They will not labor in vain,
nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune;
for they will be a people blessed by the Lord,
they and their descendants with them.
Before they call I will answer;
while they are still speaking I will hear.
The wolf and the lamb will feed together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox,
and dust will be the serpent’s food.
They will neither harm nor destroy
on all my holy mountain,”
says the Lord.
Beloved one, I was once depressed and Christ rescued me. I was once who were depressed so much that I can’t lift a prayer to God and sing to Christ but since then I perceived He worked in me and strengthen me in my prayer life and grant me His strength to praise His name.
Beloved one, this I perceive that Satan, our Adversary like us to perceive ourselves that we lack this and that but God has been always loving us, that God supplies through Christ, always more than enough. So we should believe that God supplies us this and that.
Much time, we didn’t perceive God supplies because we have not committed ourselves to do what He told us to do. This I perceive God equipped us as we gave ourselves to the works of God. Not that we are equipped before we gave ourselves to the works of God.
So beloved one, held fast to the words that Christ have spoken and the words that the Holy Spirit have spoken through His holy apostles and prophets — when we stand in this ground, we stand in the heart of our Lord Jesus Christ — we stand in His steadfast love — we stand steadfast in the faith. Believe beloved one, that we are standing in the presence of God — we are standing in the presence of the Spirit of His word. For we heard John the Bapatist testified:
For He whom God has sent utters the words of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure. -John 3:34
Since Christ whom God has sent utters the words of God, for He ( God the Father ) gives the Spirit without measure.
So as we whom Christ has sent utters the words of God, for He ( Christ ) gives the Spirit without measure.
So beloved one, we whom Christ loved,
Christ gives us the Spirit without measure.
So beloved one, indeed, God supplies His Spirit to strengthen us without measure.
This is affirmation that we heard:
that according to the riches of his glory He ( God the Father )
may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, -Ephesians 3:16
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith'that you, being rooted and grounded in love, -Ephesians 3:17
So beloved one, perceive God supplies in His holy words in the Holy Scriptures.
For where is God ? Are not God in His Holy words that He has spoken ? For where God’s presence that strengthen ? Is He presence not in His Holy words that He has spoken ?
beloved one, perceive God’s abundant supplies of His goodness and His wonderful works that He has spoken. For that our Lord have said, that will stand.
So beloved one, finally stand strengthen in the Lord.
To God be glory and thanksgiving through Christ Jesus. Amen.
