Hopeless Depression

[Reynaldo Hernandez]

Yes since the fall of man in the garden with adam, satan has access to our minds so he throws all types of blasphemes inside it.
It is up to us to cast down the imaginations that exalt itself against the knowledge of Christ. ( 2 corinthians 10:5 )
The way we cast them down is speaking against them in the name of JESUS.
It's basically a mild OCD that your experiencing.

I know your not a psychologist, but what does OCD have to do with thoughts like this.

 

[Lightsway]

What I am suggesting is with understanding its easier to know
And knowing makes understanding.

If there is a particular question which could help clarify something in the bible if I can help I will.

In the mean time I will speak , as I understand the question which provides the answer may not be present.

The stories which are written are living .
Down to the end times and tribulation and revelation.

 

[Reynaldo Hernandez]

could you elaborate on the OCD please?

sorry that last question was intended for someone else. Another one of your stories would be helpful

When being inside the living stories , many such unusual things come into our lives .

For instance I know of things which are facts. They may be spoken as metaphors of the world through spirit before my eyes. As is spirits way.

This understanding means letting go of the literal thinking , as parables they appear .

The interpretation is light , that is how a child sees.

That is how the bible can reveal to a child's eyes what is hidden.

As god loves his children , the meek , the innocent .

Instead of the corruption which may lead to a kind of blindness , or a vision which does not become illuminated.

It is easy to let go . we all have to let go. We all cannot expect to know everything we see even .

Sometimes we see too much and cannot understand and other times we think we understand and cannot see.

So letting go allows space for something else .

You could call that waiting faith , perhaps you could call it by another name even.

If you listen with your heart you may hear regardless.

Believe me when I say , I have to release what I think I know , as it otherwise would become very cumbersome.

God has asked of me a lot , and together we have done great things.

I can explain to you what I know however if you ask .

Perhaps I too will need to speak in parables as it come to me.

Some things have come to pass already .

You may believe me , so much of the bible is absolutely the truth for me to have any question of the rest of its legitimacy to come.

It has been a timeline.

To think that the works carried out have been by men alone is not conceivable.

To say you feel hopeless - where having faith god exists are two separate things.

One is a feeling turned on yourself of a heavy burden for not being sure , and thats fine to not be sure yet attaching to this a personal burden is creating a reflection .

You can also realise this reflection is stymied in your eyes , as not allowing the greater picture to enter.

Its merely standing in the way of thus complete temple being built inside you for your eyes to realise.

In the book of revelation you can see that some do works to restore what was lost from the gardens time .

Remember in this way , christ is gods son .
Made in his image.

It is a fact beyond this world heaven exists in its restored state.

It is a fact , the abominations have been given living waters to drink which now destroys the thing which is not.

It is a fact the book of those who are of the lamb since the beginning those first fruits are accounted for.

It is also a fact , the sorcerers abominations have been faced with and destroyed by the entirity the alpha and the omega.

It is also a fact , neither you nor I could possibly know all of gods plan , yet are humble servants of our part.

The 144000 number of the lamb , and that of the Mayan calendar being the end of the age one in the same.

Christ always said he was coming at the end of the age.

Shine your spirit for us reynaldo,

If you ask how I will tell you what I know.

There is a book called the popul voh and although it is poetic and probably heretic , they also warn of one called don christoval coming within its story.

Considering it to be written with traditional names , how strange to contain such a name also.

As they too are withing times living story as an abomination destroyed by the lord.

You speak very deep my friend.

This is demonic attack as others have said. We are told to submit unto God and resist the devil and he will flee (James 4:7).

I seldom dislike anything you contribute Alex, Hello, nice to see you about the business of truth.

I would have at one point considered it offensive to say someone needed to have an evil spirit cast out of him. But I've come to know that isn't always going to be the case. the severity of my struggles of the mind and heart didn't want to give though part of both wanted to.

Prayer, fasting, confessing and patience brought breakthrough though, and God gave that sense of open-arming the prodigal-son. But that was a very long haul. It might not have payed off if I was an abuser, or criminally obsessive with something, I would have to get before the elders and have that bastardizing demon cast out. That too should never be thought offensive but also an effective act of resistance, Hallelujah!

 

[Lightsway]

Once upon a time there was a child who grew into a man .

As a child the boy was vibrant and alive , innocent even .
He tried to live a good life and this was his commitment .

He seemed answers from beyond himself , always asking those he thought knew better.

He would listen and try to emulate and speak as they did , yet something was always a mismatch .

Somehow he knew inside himself something better , and what he was being offered was never the same.

One day as a young man knowing he had lived a good life he decided to speak with a spiritual teacher he thought knew better.

The spiritual teacher lied and asked him to bend to His judgement above his own . Yet the boy knew something was wrong with what was happening , although he wanted to be saved by the one he thought knew better so he kept quiet waiting for the teachers magic to cure him .

After this meeting there was no way he could reconcile what he knew inside with what he had witnessed with the teacher.

The teacher was arrogant , self assured and a liar !

With a fire that knew better which over come the young man , he set out to prove the liars wrong .

They had awakened a lion.

The young man stepped onto the path with assurance as now the fire which was awakened was in his hands .
Within his hearts knowing this fire was seeking the way , and as sure as the heart was he awakened from his slumber which had beset his path to that point.
As he waited for another to speak it , in his own doing now a fire had been born.

 

[Lightsway]

One day the young man dreamed as a lion , often times since the lions would appear .

He would need to learn to not be afraid of the lion , which now belonged to him .
He would reach out his hand , and feel its fierceness .
He learned to not be afraid of the fierceness and to feel it and respect it.

 

[Lightsway]

As he had now found fire within his heart his vision moved past that gaurd , which held him .

His assurance lay in his heart , his guardian the truth , never a lie to become a guard a jailer again.

Now where does he look for it ?

It has always come straight through through the front door , never the back .
The truth is uncompromising.
To find it we should discern the same.

Hi Rock!
Thank you for your compliment. I understand the reason some might be offended. I don't believe a born again believer can be possessed by demons, but we sure can be oppressed by them! I did not use the term, "cast out", since that implies possession. Instead, I used the term James used: "resist".

When the disciples could not cast out the demon they came to Jesus who said they could not because of their unbelief. Howbeit, this kind does not come out without prayer and fasting. Jesus was not referring to the demon, but the unbelief. Unbelief is a demonic foothold. Prayer and fasting is a form of self denial that can destroy unbelief. The prayer should be the confession of what God says, whereas the fasting is the subjugating of the body to the will of God.

Thank God the Lord gives us grace for the process of sanctification and discipleship. If he gives us grace then we also must give each other grace as well. I would not condemn anyone in Christ for their current state, but sometimes giving direction out of their state might be considered offensive. But as the proverbs says:

Pro_9:8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

Pro_25:12 As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

Anyone who accepts the salvation of Christ is already a wise ear.

Ah-yes, this one passed me by with a resounding agreement, Thank you for clarifying!!

As he had now found fire within his heart his vision moved past that gaurd , which held him .

Now where does he look for it ?

It has always come straight through through the front door , never the back .
The truth is uncompromising.
To find it we should discern the same.

The stories are never what we would expect and this one is no different.

The young man was shown marvels on his journey he saw high and low with his sight .

He was taught things , and shown how to right many things in the world.

He saw that people had lost faith , some spoke others words still with their strength .

He tried his best to help as many as he could back to the way and so he did.

Sometimes he found those less strong than his heart and tried to lift them up.

He did the great works in small things ,
And did as god asked of him always keeping true to the bible.

Many people had lost faith over time ,
And many could not understand what the scrolls said.

So he took them all , by force to face their doings as was shown to him by god to do.

The who asked for help he lifted up , those who did not want truth he destroyed with the word.

It is for nobody to understand not even he , why he had to do as he did.

It is between him and god.

No body can judge him for doing gods will , as the pain he felt , and the remedy he provided judges them by their own face.

Amen.

I know you're not a psychologist, but what does OCD have to with a thought like this

It's called OCD with intrusive thoughts or Scrupulosity.

[Kelly McArthur]

Thank you for your words of encouragement. I'm going to vent for a bit because I'm pretty anxious and depressed for awhile. I'm afraid that I'm not going to be able to sleep. I have group projects for college and I can't seem to get the motivation to do anything at the moment. You're words are awesome, but man this thought is really getting to me. There are times where I have full perspective and everything is OK and I don't believe this thought but once anxiety and depression take over it all comes back. I try to pray but I keep getting the thought, what if he's not there and you're hopeless. It terrifies me because I can't see an end to this. Im sorry, I don't mean to go on and on about this but it helps to talk to someone.
What time is it in Australia by the way. It's 1:43am here in Texas. We are about to have a time change here in 16 mins. It will be 1:00am again.

Just wanted to say if not for Jesus Christ there is no way any of us are going to make it out of here alive, hope you've asked him into your heart and mind know he brings all our thoughts into captivity when we ask it's given, so you're not alone, he's with you and the Holy Spirit is with you as well, she's wisdom and your comforter and teacher and she loves you. My guess is like most of us, you're probably not breathing in properly during these episodes, silly how we forget. Learn to do this on purpose nice and slowly, take your time, easy to forget to breathe in and good to remember. Check out breathing exercises through youtube.

Stay away from sugar and caffeine, find Beethoven or Chopin (my fav) and listen to the piano music. All suggestions.

Cut off the persistent thought on purpose, just do it, lay the axe to the root with no regrets knowing our Lord Jesus does not work with guilt and shame, this is not coming from him, it's most likely the ego thinking you should do better and know more, don't worry, you can do all your self correctly with Jesus, acknowledge him in all your ways and he'll direct you're path.

Try this for a change; put your hand out in front of you & find where the energy is coming from and say in the name of Jesus, stop. No drama and no obsessiveness, everything in moderation.

Remember you are what you eat and a nice glass of milk at night or a herbal tea all help the body relax, you'd like the magnesium check it all out and know these suggestions are for you to do the ground work and see what works best.

Get up early and don't stay up late, routine is always good; shower, brush teeth, floss, all good for your body and mind and check out some omega 3s and magnesium yourself, online and read and see what's good for you; we all need to take care of the mind & body we're in. I'm a mother and I care.

Take a look at some cooking video's, Gordon Ramsey's pretty good, they're as so many just think of any food you'd like to eat and see how it's prepared, it's really not as hard as you might think and you never know, you might like it. Add to your life don't worry about taking anything away, sooner or later the not so good just drops off. Keep up the studies, looking forward to hearing the great marks you'll be getting and comments! A big thumbs up to you!

What Kindness you have shown in this post.God bless you!

 

[Blood Bought 1953]

Hi Simon, I did a bit better today. I felt a little bit of hope. I had a couple of hours where I didn't feel utterly tormented. It almost felt like I was finally coming out of this. Then bam right back into it. Thank you so much for reaching out. Talking about this really helps. I know this is a silly thought, It feels so real real anxiety and depression are ever present. I'm from Texas USA. I'm currently just on my phone and I don't cook

I still pray for you every day.....God will get you through this valley. He got me through mine

 

[AlexDTX]

he's with you and the Holy Spirit is with you as well, she's wisdom and your comforter and teacher and she loves you.

Nowhere in the Bible is the Holy Spirit called a "she". He is always referred to in the masculine.

Wisdom teaches you to know where you came from. Research the Monolithic cornerstone with Jesus Christ who is the Light of the world; know the wisdom that comes from above is also below.
