Biblical and other support for those Hurting badly!

i love this sermon by Jeff vines and also testify that a God quake is essential to begin a new life in Him and with Him.

Shaken But Not Defeated

Thank you for that bite.

i so had to learn to do just that in my life, to share my longings with Christ and let His Spirit of truth shape it into my life but to also share my sighing with Him and find true comfort from His loving truth living within me.

His truth is not just something to believe in, as i had been taught by religion, but needs to be real and actual, as Scripture teaches. What good is a god who doesn't not come to your aid when you are hurting within? Such a god is but a lie and not the true God of The Bible. For me it has been a hard lesson learned.

So glad i brought myself in my longings to Him to be purified and in my sighing found Him to be of the greatest support and comfort. For in His truth He is present 24/7 never do i need to miss out on Him once i find His truth alive within my faith. Even deepest depression has me safe in Him now.

John 5:24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life."

Those who have lost their good life to bad life can find a lot of loving support through the word of God. Where God address the wicked in control of our bad life and sustains and resurrects our good life in the battle against our bad life. Faith in God's love is essential for then it becomes quickly clear who the enemy and who the friends are.

Isaiah 57
The righteous perish,
and no one takes it to heart;
the devout are taken away,
and no one understands
that the righteous are taken away
to be spared from evil.
Those who walk uprightly
enter into peace;
they find rest as they lie in death.


“But you—come here, you children of a sorceress,
you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!
Who are you mocking?
At whom do you sneer
and stick out your tongue?
Are you not a brood of rebels,
the offspring of liars?
You burn with lust among the oaks
and under every spreading tree;
you sacrifice your children in the ravines
and under the overhanging crags.
The idols among the smooth stones of the ravines are your portion;
indeed, they are your lot.
Yes, to them you have poured out drink offerings
and offered grain offerings.
In view of all this, should I relent?
You have made your bed on a high and lofty hill;
there you went up to offer your sacrifices.
Behind your doors and your doorposts
you have put your pagan symbols.
Forsaking me, you uncovered your bed,
you climbed into it and opened it wide;
you made a pact with those whose beds you love,
and you looked with lust on their naked bodies.
You went to Molek with olive oil
and increased your perfumes.
You sent your ambassadors far away;
you descended to the very realm of the dead!
You wearied yourself by such going about,
but you would not say, ‘It is hopeless.’
You found renewal of your strength,
and so you did not faint.


“Whom have you so dreaded and feared
that you have not been true to me,
and have neither remembered me
nor taken this to heart?
Is it not because I have long been silent
that you do not fear me?
I will expose your righteousness and your works,
and they will not benefit you.
When you cry out for help,
let your collection of idols save you!
The wind will carry all of them off,
a mere breath will blow them away.
But whoever takes refuge in me
will inherit the land
and possess my holy mountain.”


And it will be said:

“Build up, build up, prepare the road!
Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people.”
For this is what the high and exalted One says—
he who lives forever, whose name is holy:
“I live in a high and holy place,
but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly
and to revive the heart of the contrite.
I will not accuse them forever,
nor will I always be angry,
for then they would faint away because of me—
the very people I have created.
I was enraged by their sinful greed;
I punished them, and hid my face in anger,
yet they kept on in their willful ways.
I have seen their ways, but I will heal them;
I will guide them and restore comfort to Israel’s mourners,
creating praise on their lips.
Peace, peace, to those far and near,”
says the Lord. “And I will heal them.”
But the wicked are like the tossing sea,
which cannot rest,
whose waves cast up mire and mud.
“There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”

One thing i love about salvation and that is that the old win is better than the new. i never understood this until i started to see that the resurrection happens first of all within. How often when i died to sin did Jesus resurrect in my life from before such sin had entered my life? Each time again, sometimes quickly in succession, sometimes months apart, but slowly and surely Jesus brought me back to life in my true self. The very self i had lost to all my lies believing depression lying to me. Shocking how the offspring of lies kill us in our good life, so often we don't even realised we have been lied to, yet the poison of the lie bites deep into our soul.

So good to see how Jesus reversed that in my life and how He brought back the old out of the new amazing how He does that, we surely have an amazing saviour in our Jesus Christ.

i love how God has so much regard for who we truly are. So often when we are stuck in lies we see no way out, but to die to self is the way out. To refuse to go sinning but stick to the rule of love instead. Some times i could do it more often than not i could not and needed help along the way. Let untrue self become true self instead through the blood of Christ.

The great prostitute killed of most of my true self, unfaithful love living within me drinks the blood of all the saints Scripture reveals, this is why dying to sin is so important. When we see that have existence in wrong then we deny ourselves the right to stay there and move to Christ instead, even if that means crucifixion of our big I. Its best to let Christ do this, by surrendering ourselves in our sinful times to Him and His rule of love. When we see how low we fall sinning it is not so hard to be humble and to hear the Lord more clearly therefore.

Love is the way. To love and serve love is the way out of the pit depression puts us in.

It took me awhile to understand what scripture said about the wicked. It was my focus that was wrong i thought the wicked where those people the wicked within me said bad things about, including myself. When we think of people as wicked then we think of those people who have turned completely evil not our unbelieving and therefore lost neighbour but those people who do really evil things. People become wicked because the wicked growing in their hearts spread their wickedness through everything these people do. The wicked are spirits gone wrong, who dwell in peoples hearts because of the lies they believe about God, themselves and others.

It took Jesus some time to change my mind about the wicked but i was shocked to the core when i discovered their lair within me and Jesus revealed to me how much pain and suffering their tongues/presence had brought my way.

Depressed people know the wicked really well. Those gossipers and accusers in our minds who use worldly thinking and reasoning to torture us from within. Those depressed thoughts they smite on us to grill us from within with our past sins for example.

Oh the joy when Jesus showed/predicted to me the down fall of the wicked and my freedom from their prisons. Isaiah 61

Honest my struggling and depressed brothers and sisters, when you run God's truths past your depressed self talk then it wont take long before the wicked will become highly visible hiding in your own heart. They hide behind all those untruths we have been taught in our lost world and string us to their way of reasoning as to hold us into their grasp. They are the powers of the air Scripture goes on about in Ephesians 6.

Now please don't get me wrong. The wicked hurt and oppress those with depression but they are usually not the cause of depression, even though they can really make depression a lot worse and our suffering much deeper than it ought to be. The wicked got into us because of the lies we believe about God, ourselves and our neighbour. This is why Scripture is essential to get us out of the traps satan's lies have sprung on us.

My depression became finally manageable when Jesus destroyed the loveless tongues of the wicked out of my heart and mind and replaced them with His messengers of truth and love.

True it took many years to complete that job, but Jesus works untiringly on my heart and mind with His loving truth destroying the works of the wicked and setting me free from their powers. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom that cannot be destroyed. So happy Jesus is building my actively into the new. All the prophecies of Scripture have and are becoming true right within my own little world of being.

i truly hate the wicked and what they do. The wicked are utterly evil and have hell as their destination which is a very good thing in my books.

One of my most favourite poem is the one i wrote the day Jesus revealed them living within me. The last part of the poem is a prophecy come true but wasn't yet at the time i wrote it. Life is great without the wicked harassing me all the time.

A shape poem.

A personal relationship with the living word within me is what made me able to cope with my depressive spells. Even though depression keeps pestering me it can't keep me down in the pit any more. i'm so thankful to God for that. For years i languished in the pit below, without faith, love or hope seeking to finish it all. Yet now Jesus took me out of the dungeons below and placed me on level ground.

Sure i'm still not well enough to go out into the world as normal again but even though my sick bed hasn't been taken from me. The love of Jesus has surely been added to my inner world of being. It has become second nature now for me to let the living word defend me against my accusers. His voice of loving truth living within me will always keep me safe from the wicked.

In the mean time a loving heart has little problem letting go of those things that tie us down to misery and holding on to those things that assists us fighting our misery. Jesus is so good to have onboard, so good to have His ability available to me when i need it.

The secret overcoming depression? Love it to death turning all the negatives into positives through God's Loving Word living within us believers. Faith in His love sure pays off. Try it depressed brother or sister, try to put your faith in His loving truth even for a few moments and your reality will already begin to lift. The moment we have faith in His love we will receive hope again. Hope for better is a powerful weapon in the hands of those who learn to have faith in God's loving truth.

All those cast down i plead with you to try out faith in God's love as your weapon against the wicked masking your life sour. God's loving truth speaks much truer than the tongue of the wicked torturing your mind day and night.

God's love is available to all those hurting the wicked, be of very good courage.

Revelation 3:20-22
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

Psalms 56
Be merciful to me, my God,
for my enemies are in hot pursuit;
all day long they press their attack.
My adversaries pursue me all day long;
in their pride many are attacking me.


When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
In God, whose word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?


All day long they twist my words;
all their schemes are for my ruin.
They conspire, they lurk,
they watch my steps,
hoping to take my life.
Because of their wickedness do not let them escape;
in your anger, God, bring the nations down.


Record my misery;
list my tears on your scroll—
are they not in your record?
Then my enemies will turn back
when I call for help.
By this I will know that God is for me.


In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can man do to me?


I am under vows to you, my God;
I will present my thank offerings to you.
For you have delivered me from death
and my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.

Sin Begets Sin.
Often we see people sin
and we have forgotten
we ourselves need grace
letting go of God's love.

So easy to see those sinners
Away with those evildoers
So glad that our Lord Jesus
will send them all to hell.

It is just so easy to do
Judging them to hell
only takes a few moments
of our precious time.

Not realising that the judgement
we use will be used upon us
in equal measure
On the day we breathe our last.

i suppose i would like to point out that suffering has been the main force behind my sanctification. The deeper i suffered the more i learned about the value of life in Christ. It is literally awesome how the Holy Spirit can work in a suffering heart that is open to Him.

i have learned patience, long suffering, endurance to have an optimistic spirit over against the negative spirit of depression. i have learned to love to unlovable and regard the lowly with new admiration.

Everything in God's word becomes so more relevant and appropriate. The battle against sin bringing the suffering to a peak also brings the Spirit of God's love and mercy to those depths. And i have learned to understand that God's love, working in a bad place, will begin to transform the bad place into a good place.

This is why i would like to encourage all my suffering brothers and sisters. To tell them that underneath their suffering they can find the Son of God holding them up and keeping them in life. Jesus has the ability to get you out of your pit. Faith in His love is the very first move we need to make. The good thing is we can ask for faith from God from Heaven, as faith is a gift of God and He gifts all those who ask.

We may take comfort in His word when our hearts condemn us that God wants everybody to be saved and none to perish. Indeed understanding God's loving mind is essential to be able to keep our faith in God's love when we are rock bottom.

i hope and pray that you find Jesus carrying you rock bottom and that you will learn to have faith in His love and His goodness so that He can gift you with His good life and save your life from the pit.

Peace.

Revelation 21:5-7
He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.

Noxot said:

That phrase "rock bottom" sure is funny cause of the relation it has to the house built on the rock vs the house built on sand or the one built on dirt.

Click to expand...

Good observation brother. i build my house on sand and went down rock bottom where i found Christ to build on and have been able to cope ever since. He truly is a Rock in my life. He is my Refuge in time of distress. He is my hope in times of despair. He's got my future and my past in His hands. Sometimes i can't wait to be with Him in Heaven but i know He is sufficient to have Him dwell in my heart.

i'll share you a poem i wrote 3 1/2 years after i had my Jesus revelation rock bottom.

Forsaking The Pit.
As I climb over the rim, I clearly see,
Involuntary I shudder the sight in me,
Down without a bottom the pit below,
Yes this fiery hole within me on show!

Hear voices of darkness pressing hard on must.
Those 'speaking guilt, shame, unbelief, and distrust,
All together pushing, yes, pressing me deep,
Resisting my climb to the top so steep.

See those guilty feelings still tug my feet,
I can feel flames searing, my toes they meet!
Electrifying my soul, no mercy on show.
Why ever did I take this hell-hole in tow?

Above me the Light, Jesus, the Truth so high!
How long before I will meet up with Him in the sky?
He knows I will come after Him without a doubt,
As true nourishing goodness He is all about.

My bloodied fingers scraped by rock,
For how many years did they mock?
Those hard places within my very being,
Those fiery stones of my own seeing!

I climbed after the Light right above me,
The only truth that truly leaves me be,
Never will I stop seeking after The Light.
As Jesus Christ is my very soul's delight!

Soon the 'resting place' of my enemy,
Bottomless pit shall forever be!
For the ones without Love or Grace.
Those who with their lies made this place.

The corona virus has turned the world upside down. People are freaking big time as our securities and freedoms are stripped away. Amazing what one little bug can do! How little prepared are we humans to face calamity? Chaos all all around us.

Still nothing happens by chance. God has allowed this great evil to attack us because of our sins. In the past 50 years we have literally murdered hundreds of millions of unborn babies. Almost all countries are involved. The rich oppress the poor. Slavery is popular once more. Most of us are slaves to debt, the rich made very sure of that. we have allowed all kind of sins, scriptures clearly identifies, run rampant in our lives. Sin causes death. The death of nature but also the death of the nations!

In the end it will be interesting to find out what is behind this virus, because it is clear to me that things don't add up. This has not happened by chance. Are they secretly trying to get rid of the old and infirm? To lower the cost of living? Or is China waging an attack on the world for dominance in world politics and commerce? Or is it an attack from the deep state to begin the termination of 6.5 billion people? Or is it merely God punishing us for our sins sending plaque and pestilence to punish us for our sins? Whatever it is we know our Heavenly Father is in control and works everything for good to those who love Him. This is a great comfort we may hold on to.

How are you coping brothers and sisters? Do you find Jesus to be a rock of refuge in your life at the moment or are you like the rest running scared. i know how hard life is when we run scared. i know how anxiety eats away our defences and leaves us open to attack. i know how restless sleep is when we suffer from anxiety. How we wear down from exhaustion in the end. Anxiety has been one of the hardest symptoms of my illness to battle.

Luckily i am anxiety free this year so far. If this would have happened last year things would have been a lot worse, for anxiety pestered me for many months, and last March was the worst months.

i would like to encourage everybody to put their trust in God. To accept the worst might happen and to give glory to His name for the peace and rest that He works in our hearts when we do that. Each time anxiety fires away in my mind i bring it to Jesus and let His loving truth deal with it. i adise you to do the same.

Peace.

The Living Word Saves
Meeting Jesus down in my deepest Pit
brought an end to all my inner pain
For lovingly The Word made me fit
to have my Good Life back again.

First The Farmer pulled up my weeds
digging up the dirt and rocks within me
then lovingly sowing His Good Seeds
in time harvesting me most abundantly!

Yes The Word's Voice in Spirit of Love
The Living Word brought me under His care
His love dwelling within me from up above
His everlasting Good Life with me to share.

So please do from your pit walk away
also farming His Good Life in your soul
finding New Life in God's Truth today
The LIVING WORD your constant goal.

i think that being open to Jesus working in us is really important. We are so sacred to be defenseless, often we have all kind of barriers up to keep people out of our personal space. Many of us are scared stiff to be exposed. We fear The Light. I know I did!

It is so foolish to walk around thinking like that! Closed doors means Jesus can't come in either nor the stranger who is within your gates. We have to live open lives. Not that such a life is unguarded, the opposite is true. The Word, the truth in which we walk, has us blameless in God's sight.

Not just because we are covered by the blood of Christ but because the blood of Christ rose us from the dead righteous people. People who truly love God and neighbour in word and deed.

Does this mean we have to do this and that all the time? Slavishly run after the affairs of our Church or otherwise compelled to do good works?

No not really. Not like that. Serving God is not a burden because He has us doing those things we love doing. Like proclaiming His love over the nations. Repentance of sins and the freedom that He brings into our lives. It is hard not to witness when given the opportunity because of the sheer happiness that lives in our lives.

Of course we have to watch out not throwing our pearl before the swines, but let this never be an excuse to treat the other unkindly. Speaking the truth in love is what the Gospel teaches us to do. Hard lessons learned well because we love to do His will.

Honest when i was younger serving Jesus was a real burden but nowadays loving Him is my delight. i love Him more than my own life. He saved me from my sins and set me free in His Kingdom. Not after i die, but now already. That is what you get with The Truth, He is Eternal so the present, past and future are all rolled into One. And i can get what i always craved after. To have The Lord Jesus truly ruling my heart from within, as was written in God's Word. True to be instead of untrue.

Always true to be in Him. What awesome love He bestows on me. His children to bear in my heart. Written to be on the scroll of life, everyday a bit more. What an awesome book the bible is. Completely spiritual He works His ways into our lives through His loving truth.

In all of my heart i have to find Him as my Lord and Saviour. To be born again happens daily in my life and that is a really good thing for the human heart is something we need to be saved from time and again. i have Jesus as my Saviour what more can i want?

He gathers me into His Stores and rejoices over each self in me which comes to Him for aid. He is faithful and true. i can cycle through twenty selves in one day with my bi-polar moods but He has me all covered, whatever my mood might be.

Each time i see within myself that i'm not reigning with Christ i know i have to die to the spirituality that has me captive. To die to the unclean spirituality, be it parts of self having life in unbelief, doubt, lust, envy, greed, dishonesty, selfishness, perversion, arrogance, pride, hate, rebellion, rage, ungratefulness or shame, regrets, guilt, hopelessness, despair, sadness and fear.

For i know if i die to my self in sin, if i refuse to remain who i am, repent of my sins and turn around God's way, then the unclean spirituality is replaced with good spirituality. Spirituality that flows from God's Spirit. Such as love, kindness, gentleness, self control, long suffering, endurance, joy, thankfulness comes to life in its stead. While bad spirituality goes to hell!

This is how it works. Where within ourselves we have died to sin, we, after a short struggling for authenticity sake, are taken up into Heaven by Jesus and sit beside Christ ruling over life in such self, even if it was only our own, while we are walking down here on this earth. An amazing reality where the things of Heaven are clear to us, and the Bible gave birth within us, when it proclaims that we have the mind of God.

Truths Jesus teaches us are always true and make complete sense. i love living in His Kingdom. It makes me humble and very thankful for my battle with the enemy has been gigantic and at first i was always on the losing end.

Now He has made me so strong that i can fight of my depressive moods with His loving truth. i still get depressed but it has no longer a bad influence on me but rather it produces good life by the bucket loads. That is why i love Jesus. For He truly is who He says He is.

i know i will battle with sin until Jesus comes but i know that with Jesus even sin has to produce good life, this way and God has everything restored to the design He originally made and our lives in sin still dies along the way as it ought to.

All Glory to His Name.

Are you suicidal brother or sister? Do you have this strong need to die because your misery is so deep? Have you called out to God and He didn't answer you? Are you falling down that bottomless pit, hurting hell and not knowing how to go on like this?

Many of us have been there. Often much more than once. Some us here have made suicide attempts, while others have had it all planned out laying ready for when they would muster enough courage to go on with it.

It is dark where we are then, isn't it? So very dark and lonely. A most awful place. Our Golgotha to be

The good news is you can be saved from where you are, you don't need to commit suicide or plan one any longer, you can get actively involved in getting rid of the urge to die. Honest there is a way out, even if depression last all your life because of illness, Jesus can get good life out of it, instead of you reaping bad life all the time. i swear to God this is true!

It has to do with dying to our misery instead of dying to our loved ones. Remember when Jesus said those who give up their lives for Me will find it and those who keep hold of their lives shall loose it? Honest if you struggle with suicidal notions you need to hear what Jesus can do in your life of misery and how He can restore you to good mental health.

14 years ago i was still deep in my pit. i suffer from schizo affective disorder and my moods are mainly depressive. At the time i had been depressed for 7 years straight. Deepest deep. Medications didn't work. The doctors were baffled. Every moment was torture. Years ago already i had lost contact with Jesus because i couldn't feel His presence in my heart any longer, like when i was manic, just darkness and silence.

Oh how i had cried out to Him for help and mercy but i received nothing just more depression, day in day out. i hated waking up. i would awake in a dread to face the day. i couldn't look any one in the eye, i felt so very bad about myself, i hated my life with a passion.

i had begged my wife and children to allow me to commit suicide, but they wouldn't let me and told me that they would suffer my demise. Still, unbeknown to them i had prepared my plans. i reasoned at the time that they would be better of without me, i would be better of without me, God would be better of without me, everybody would be better of without me. These feelings would attack me 24/7. That is why i had my death all planned out. It was a real struggle not to do it.

Then one night, while i couldn't sleep, i was psychotic and hallucinating badly. i had my bible laying open on my lap but i couldn't read anything for my mind was in turmoil, i was completely manically depressed, as our illness, much more rightly, used to be called.

Then in my heart i became aware of Jesus' presence. When i sensed Him i raged at Him! All my frustration and my anger at Him not coming to my aid during these long years of suffering. Yet amazingly all my words fell on deaf ears. As i was unleashing my rage Jesus showed me the truth. What you sow you shall harvest He told me while He showed me how i had been heeding my depressive thoughts for years and had my life in the misery of despair, hopelessness, bitterness, sadness, anxiety and all the other lies dwelling in my heart and mind.

Jesus showed me how i had called out after a cruel god without grace and love on sinners such as me, and not to Him who loves me and died for my sins. He showed me how me praying to this abomination that brought me my desolation had increased my depression 10,000 fold because he wasn't true god i had been praying to an untrue god. A god without grace or love to fill the heart with. Indeed he was the dragon accuser dwelling in my guilty conscience.

And there i was stunned by the words and images of my Saviour i looked down on my lap to where the bible lay unread but open.

Galatians 6:7 "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."

Oh the shock when i read those words. My vision of Jesus speaking from out of my heart had been true. Instantly i saw the two witnesses needed to confirm the truth and seal what i had heard.

This is all happening to me changed my mind and i began to sow good things into my life on a daily basis. Actively loving and praying for hurting people and fighting the lies of my depressive mind with the truth of God's word.

i began so small. Most of my inner reality told me that i was crazy believing my hallucinations and that Jesus didn't love me or had forgiven me my sins and that believing that was dumb to the extreme, for look how depressed i was?

Honest i was attacked like never before by those thoughts and feelings that had brought me my misery for all these years. It was like if my eyes had been opened and i understood the wicked from a completely different perspective than being my fallen neighbour. The wicked who had me captive with their lies knew i had a depressive illness. They knew that they had overcome me and almost got me to agree with them that death would be the best solution. They went to town trying to make me loose my renewed faith in Jesus. (Yet God's word exposed them all over the years.)

Oh doubt and unbelief tortured me during these days. It was terrible how i was persecuted for my faith in Jesus from within myself. It made me understand that the wicked of the air were not just outside of me but the lies i believed about God, myself and my neighbour had come alive within me and brought me my misery.

So i kept sowing the good seed. God's word and promises i made my own. When i read the bible i read it past my heart always seeking to see what love for God and neighbour would say about it. Oh how wonderful that i grew love for God and neighbour back inside of my heart, for it was there that the Spirit of God dwelt within me. The more i read Scripture past my heart the more the Spirit of God told me about my salvation in Him.

So yes it took about 3 1/2 years for me to overcome my suicidal depression from that first appearance of Jesus in my heart and another 3 1/2 years before i had completely learned to build my reality into God's loving truth. For that is how we attain His eternal life, in His loving truth to be.

So long story short, i learned this lesson 14 years ago and still daily apply it my reality. i'm hardly ever in my pit any more. i have learned to fight my depression and to stay on top. The presence of The Lord i enjoy every day for He is always with me no matter how depressed i get.

As a matter of fact in my deepest suffering self, where once i longed to die my misery, now i have learned to pray for others during my worst depressive spells. It has amazed me how much passion there can live in a hurting heart. Passion for good. Longing after His well being. Praying for those hurting down there in their pit devoid of any good thing. Those poor hurting ones who don't know Him to call out to. Honest they are my closest times with Jesus Christ now, for i have been given new life within, and Jesus put my life upside down, and pulled it inside out, back into true shape again. The very life i sowed with His loving truth in my heart for all these years is now my daily reality even though i still struggle with depression on an almost daily basis.

So please don't heed doubt or unbelief though i'm sure you will have heard them by now. Denying you salvation telling you God doesn't love you unconditionally and undyingly. Yet believe you me, He surely does love us depressed people, sinful and all, and He can truly help us become stronger than manic depression can throw our way. i will always love Him for that.

Please be of very good courage. Jesus will save the hurting you in all your divide self, but destroy those living in you who are hurting you even now.

Peace.

Revelation 21:1-8
Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”


He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

Have you ever wondered why God wants us to be truthful? Have you ever pondered on what happens when we tell a lie?

The truth is satan is the father of the lie so when we tell a lie then we harbour 'offspring from satan' in our hearts, or the wicked. Isaiah 57:3-4.

“But you—come here, you children of a sorceress,
you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!
Who are you mocking?
At whom do you sneer
and stick out your tongue?
Are you not a brood of rebels,
the offspring of liars?

(Only ever lie to protect (good) life, for then you will inherit the promised land as reward. Joshua 2:1-14)

Often times people think that satan is outside of their hearts and doesn't know what we think or feel, but the sad truth is that satan is inside of our hearts through the lies we ourselves sprouted as well as those lies we have believed from the world around us.

This is how we recognise the wicked within.

Proverbs 6:16:19
There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

Now the brood of satan is our heart ache in real life for they are lovers of themselves, and speak lies 24/7 and make us feel emotions that are inhuman and always wrong.

Psalm 58:3 "Even from birth the wicked go astray; from the womb they are wayward, spreading lies."

This untrue but yet real spirituality is mixed up with our truthful God given spirit and brings us our bad life. i have learned to understand that the wicked live within us and that they bring us our bad life and lying thoughts and feelings galore, stuffing our good life up, burning it up, imprisoning it, enslaving it, oppressing it, and killing it.

Psalm 11:9 "For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart."

The more we heed lying tongues within our heart and mind the worse our daily life is with regards to sin and its misery. It is here that we have to fight our biggest battles. It is here that we want Christ to be King. It is here that we so need to keep a close eye on, instead of our fallen neighbours. It are the true Gossipers and bringers of bad life of this world.

Psalm 7:9
Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure— you, the righteous God who probes minds and hearts.

As you can see The bible has much to say about the wicked. Rarely is a person 100 percent wicked but the wicked are always 100 percent wicked, nothing redeemable can be found with them.

It were the wicked in my heart, untrue life killing my true life and leaving me in disarray and greatest suffering. i had raised them all within myself speaking lies and believing lies about God, myself and my neighbour. Oh how they oppressed me with their evil intend and their wicked ways! i fought against those evil ones all my life a believer in God. Truly they have been the goats within me that Jesus freed me from on the Day of His visitation. i was divided within myself from myself because i learned to lie, from even a young age.

The good news is that Jesus has overcome the wicked and if you let Him into your heart then He will begin to fight the wicked and do away with them freeing you from their ensnarement. The good news is we can be saved from evil ways. Jesus can shift the wicked right out of us like He shifts the wheat from the chaff.

He has set me free from so many sins that they are far too many to count. Life in His righteousness is mint. i love Him with my life for it. He is such a true Saviour.

He speaks with me every day about His goodness and His love over me and all. He is the best King anyone could ever serve under. Indeed He gives me reign beside Him over my life. Life with Jesus is so much better than life with the wicked ever was. Now even depression cannot rob me away from Him.

Can you see how the truth of Jesus does away with the truth of the wicked lying? That is the real tell tale sign that God is true and that His loving truth can really set us free from their oppressive ways. Even if you have been badly overcome. i was! Yet He set me free in His love and brought me my lost good life back and so much more. More than i could ever tell or share on pixels.

So if you are overcome by bad life please go to Jesus and hand Him all your bad life and ask for His good life back in return. Honest if you let God's loving truth go to work inside your fallen heart Jesus will restore you and give you a place among His Saints.

Psalm 97:10 "Let those who love the Lord hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked."

The wicked go to hell and all their works as well. If the wicked cling to you then when their time for burning comes they will burn you as well. It can be very hard to feel God's love in your heart when you have not taken care of love in your heart and constantly let the wicked lying trample all over Him. Always remember that in your battles with the wicked - let Jesus wash away your shortcomings and sins with His blood - time and again - until in all your divided heart you can praise the Lord as one without the wicked being there stuffing everything up.

Psalm 86:11-13
"Teach me your way, Lord,
that I may rely on your faithfulness;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name.
I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart;
I will glorify your name forever.
For great is your love toward me;
you have delivered me from the depths,
from the realm of the dead."

Love for God and love for neighbour doesn't heed the wicked but only dines on His loving truth to sustain them and bring them true good life.

Psalm 141:4 "Do not let my heart be drawn to what is evil so that I take part in wicked deeds along with those who are evildoers; do not let me eat their delicacies."

Be please be of good courage. For with Jesus you can overcome the wicked. It is about amassing truthful love in our hearts. The more love for God and neighbour dwells in our hearts, the more God dwells in us and the wicked perish along the way.

John 14:23 "Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them."

So if you suffer at the cruel hands of the wicked and your life is hell then know that you can be saved from this existence by dying to it and coming to life in the new life with Jesus as King of the heart instead of letting the lies of the wicked rule your life misery.

Isaiah 65:17-19
“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."

Peace.
