Bible Question: Greetings Heisthe1, In reading your answer to Iamahearer I was wondering what you meant when you said that "depression does not come from God? prayon |
Bible Answer: Greetings to you in the precious name of Jesus. Your question says you're a wise person, because out all of the context of my answer to Iamahearer, you want to know what I mean by, "depression does not come from God? I looked up the word "depression" in the dictionary (1) Sadness or gloominess; low spirits (2) Form of psychosis (any severe form of mental disorder), often "characterized" by despondency (loss of heart, courage, or hope; discouragement; dejection, gloominess and inactivity! Now lets see what God has to say in his WORD, in Job 4:5 But trouble comes to you, and you are "discouraged" it strikes you, and you are dismayed. Do you see that word up above, discour agement? Do you agree that in someway it might be refering to depression? Psalms 22:1,2 you can look it up, but I'll use the first part of verse 1 (and not to my benefit), it says, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Do you hear dejection? That's one of the words that describes depression, and I hope I can get your agreement on that? My belief is that satan has twisted, distorted, turned upside down, confused, misguided, led astray, etc. every word and works of God! Disease does not come from God. The opposite of Faith is fear, so where does fear come from? Opposite of Love is hate and one more, the opposite of Life is what? You got it! Do you think God created death? So let me conclude with this, because this is not a five minute discussion, we can carry this on much longer, and I'm a little short on time right now, Galatians 5:22 "But the fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, kindness, goodness, fithfulness, gentleness and self control Against such things there is no law. This is refering to opposite of our sin nature, but I don't see any mention of "depression" in there, how about you? Since are battle is spiritual, and you know we are not battling God (I hope not)we are battling the attacks of the devil. He throws sickness, diseases, poverty, hopelessness, etc and since Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and took back the keys of life and death, and Jesus gave back to us the authority to "Dominate" over all the attacks of the enemy (devil). We are to exercise our AUTHORITY and cast him down, bind him up. Sickness and diseases have no place on the Saints of God! I pray that I answered your question, because "that is what I mean". Give me some feed back as to your question also. May the peace of God move IN your life in a mighty way and may he guide you and surround YOU in HIS Love. He Is The 1 |
