share: how hs Jesus helped u thru depression??

He is the liferaft I cling to, and He is my hope for today and tomorrow.

I'm alive .. I guess without him I would be dead.

I would be a wanderer on street controled by demons without His salvation and passion. But now I am living in His Image,although not well enough.

anyway, I am also an Asian.GB.

Shalom -Salam(Hello). I am a Messianic (Judaism) Christian. I was born in Beijing China and now live there ,and my nationality is China. My ancestors were immigrants from West Asia to China in Ancient time, so I have a complex blood lineage of Chinese and West Asian (Abrahamic race by the meaning of flesh).My grandfather was a local leader of Islam, but my father only believes scientism. I like to learn Eastern and Western wisdom, I think I am quite tolerant to different background. My faith approaches Oriental Christianity. The most exciting thing is that Adonai Yeshua (Lord Jesus) has saved me from serious condemnation! For a long time I have fallen into Depression, but also I am struggling with it. Now I work for the handicapped in my community for the government, I am also a mental handicapped. Baruch Haba B'Shem Adonai!( Blessed is He[Yeshua] that cometh in the name of the Lord), my Great Savior ,Healer and Rabbi(Teacher).

Blessings from Beijing, China
Yusuph

He hasn't. Not at all. He has left me to twist in the wind.

I also feel not well now, but it is not the final result,right?

Jesus saved me from my depression. He did it through The Word. Clinging to the truths of The Bible instead of believing the lies of my depression, He set me free in His loving truth. Without Jesus I would be dead by now I figure.


Zion Descending

At first I heard Dad say,
"Son let us make tracks,
its near getting dark now,
the chosen are all asleep,
now would be best,
as darkness reigns its peak,
for arrogance has him blinded,
to what is really going on."


I saw the sunlight darkened,
the moon turn to blood,
and the stars falling from Heaven.
I felt everything shaking in its boots.
I heard about wars and rumours of wars.
I experienced famine and drought,
grand scale living in wantonness,
rulers making a living out of sin,
Satan's forces installed everywhere,
loveless forces ruling untruthfully.


I heard my inner world crying out in her dying pain,
"What is going on?
The Father is leaving us without the Son,
this can only evil mean."
I heard the angels blow the trumpets!
"Woe to the inhabitants of this soul!"

I heard the agonising cries,
coming from underneath the altar,
the dead in God's love, longingly,
awaiting newness of life!
"Yes, oh Lord, pour out their blood as they did ours!"

I heard the thunders rolling throughout my being,
"Let evil brood fear The Truth of God almighty!
Let judgement begin in The House of God!"

I knew judgement had already began,
when I beheld those massive hails stones,
tumbling down on the heads of the wicked.
I watched my enemies flee in terror!
Scorpion stings burning wrong,
horse hooves kicking up dirt,
truthfulness uncovering shame,
honesty baring nakedness,
the dung of the earth warring,
lies sores causing agony,
pestilence threatening,
as grasshoppers devoured,
my enemies food and good life!

It was fascinating to see,
how weak those are...,
.....so strong in lies!

Yes, honest!
Loving truth is like that!
The freedom to be,
true to yourself,
both in good and bad,
in His love to be.

Oh the release of faith!
Heart rendering awe!
Shouts of glorious praise!
Jumping joy - pure ecstasy!
Glorying in God almighty,
my life's tormentors died,
perishing one after the other.

Seeing Jesus on His white horse,
a blazing sword coming out of His mouth,
His all conquering loving truth
my inner world of being to reap.
Casting dead what is so good to have gone,
raising alive that which I had lost,
bringing new life at each dawn,
His kingdom ruling my world of being,
His presence bringing rest and peace.

Time and again He comes past like this,
(terrorising the wicked agonising their mates demise,)
as all His wheels turn into place.
The Word alive in heavenly love.
Costly gifts descending from above.
beholding the temple of the most high,
the truth of His love Himself my Zion.

Yes it is, I wrote that poem out of thankfulness having seen the book of Revelation come true in my heart. I realised that the Bible is a spiritual book talking about spiritual things and that depression, although it is a physical illness, causes spiritual affliction.

The Living Word is awesome

Oh my! The list may be too long! He's helped me so much.

He taught me how to hope when I'd lost hope.

He put the right people in my life to convince this girl, who's never even taken an advil, that a tiny dose of medication might help, and He gave me the courage to try it. I never would have done that without Him. It turns out that because of some things that happened early in life, my depression was chemically based and all I needed was a little half dose of medication to bring me back into the land of the living. It was a big deal for me because I'm nature girl and I wanted everything to be natural. But unnatural circumstances created the imbalance, and all the clean eating and supplements could not get me all the way. I think He also gave me the zealousness for nutrition and exercise, and this is why I only need a tiny dose and have never had a single side effect.

He led me to WONDERFUL teachings that have helped me so much to know Him better and to know who He made me to be, and now I'm beginning to live it! Here are some of my favorites. I highly encourage you to watch and listen, and I want to especially encourage you to try Dr. Caroline Leaf's program. I've been using it for the last few months, and Jesus has been using it to make me so that I can truly walk in new life, really live like the new creation He made me to be. Old things, some quite nasty old things, have passed away. I want that for you. So I'm listing the Caroling Leaf links first and then some other helpful ones, as well:

Just a few of the wonderful things He's done for me! Thank you, Lord!

The Lord must have helped me though I don't see his footprints because I am still alive though my life has lost all meaning and I can only think about how He may take me out of this life every day.

Knowing how much Jesus Christ loves me, enough to die for me and my Salvation, has helped me love myself when I feel like I don't deserve love or listen to too many negative thoughts.

I don't feel as if i'm "cured" of depression, but the Lord is like my daily medication. I see the scriptures teaching us that this world is not our home and when i finally accepted that fact then i was able to cope and find peace. I learned to stop worrying and stop allowing fears and emotions to rule my life. I put my life and soul in Gods hands and i tell Him that He is faithful, and i find peace in that way of thinking. I stay away from negative quarrels as much as possible, i try to humble myself in all situations too, this took a little practice and time, i'm sure i have more growing to do but i have finally found my way. I learned everything from scripture, the Word is a lamp for my feet. All i can say is this, put your hope in heaven instead of this world, put your soul in Gods hands and know that He is faithful. Praise the Lord, i was a complete mess but he showed me how to walk.

I don't think he has yet. Luckily, mine isn't as severe as others so I should be thankful for that.
