It can like a lightbulb turned on in a darkened room when I discovered that I can truly be free from depression, anger, worry, and fear by simply telling my self the truth - the truth based on the Word.
I did not realize that I was making myself depressed, worried and fearful by the thoughts I allowed to play and loop like a broken record in my mind. Thoughts like: I can't do anything right and I just can't take life. It is just too hard. It is not worth it. My spouse doesn't treat me right and it is unbearable. I discovered that by allowing the "untruth" to play and replay in my mind until I believed then led me to act and react as if they were true.
According to the Word of God, nothing is unbearable. Nothing is too hard. When I stop the negative, hurtfull and "untrue" statement from playing over and over in my mind and when the those thoughts came replace them with what God says instead, I saw true breakthrough. I did not want to kill myself anymore.
I began to see my life and those around me through the eyes of Jesus. Valuable and loveable.
2Co 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;
2Co 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
