#1 Way to beat depression!

12/29/2021

0 Comments

 
David knew depression.

PSA 116:3  The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
 
He also knew how to overcome it.

Ever sit down and hold a conversation with yourself?
David did many times,
Here are a few.

Psa_116:7  Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
Psa 116:8  For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
Psa_116:9  I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

 
David would Command himself.
Here he commands himself to rest!
Command your thoughts and actions. He tells himself "Rest"!  He knows God has dealt bountifully in the past and will also in the predicament he is in now!

Then he prophesies his future in verse 9

Psa_116:9  I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

The Hebrew word for before is paniym, paw-neem, means face! I will walk with Gods face on my life!


The best way to beat  depression, is to, in spite of circumstances, command yourself.
Rise up on the inside and command yourself to do what you do not feel like doing.

David does this again!
David tells David!
bless God and don't forget His benefits!

Psa 103:1  A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Psa 103:2  Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Psa 103:3  Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Psa 103:4  Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
Psa 103:5  Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Speak out this Psalm!
Stop letting your feelings whip you like a defeated pup.
Get to the Word of God.
Command yourself! I WILL...........bless the Lord. I WILL not forget His benefits!


David has a dicussion with himself.
In a dark place.



Psa 42:5  Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

He asks himself!
Why are you cast down?
Why are you disquieted?(disturbed)
Commands himself!
Hope in God!
I WILL praise Him!

Don't not let your flesh or feelings win the argument!
Then your dark sad days will be over forever!
Command yourself out loud!
Say it!
I will not be cast down!
I will not be disquieted! (disturbed)
I will trust God.
I will hope in Him!
I will remember His benefits
I will praise Him!
I will rest!


Lastly,

1Sa 30:6  And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.

Encouraged himself in the LORD his God.

Don't wait for someone else to encourage you.
That bus may never come!
 
1.Find the promises.
2.Personalize them. (Speak them out-loud like David!)
3.Encourage yourself.


As you do, The very atmosphere will change! Your life will be transformed!
The Word of God is a seed (Mark 4)
It will produce!
Read Psalms 103

Better than Gold!!!

12/24/2021

The value you set on the Word of God determines the measure that you get out of it.

Mark 4:24  And He said to them, Be careful what you are hearing. The measure [of thought and study] you give [to the truth you hear] will be the measure [of virtue and knowledge] that comes back to you--and more [besides] will be given to you who hear.  (Amplified Bible)
 


You can measure the value you put on something  by how much attention, desire, craving, thought, study, seeking, pursuing,ect you put to it!

If you treat  Gods Word like a common book and you will get little or nothing out of it.

Treat it like gold, and your life will be transformed!!

It is YOUR Choice!


Why are we wasting our attention, desire, craving, thought, study, seeking, pursuing, ect. on things that don't satisfy, or only give temporal fulfillment?

Isa 55:2  Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.


One Word from God created the universe!

One Word from God to you will transform your life!!!

Isa 55:3  Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

Today!
Treat the Word as GOLD!


It is FREE, but not without cost!
The cost is you time!!


Isa 55:1  Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Gold!

Pro 8:10  Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
Pro 8:11  For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.


Just some Benefits(you will find many as you search)!

Pro 8:17  I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
Pro 8:18  Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
Pro 8:19  My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
Pro 8:20  I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
Pro 8:21  That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
 
If you get hold of the Word, the Word will get hold of you!


Pray like David!

Psa 27:11  Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you!

Joh 14:26  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Super Charged Prayers

12/22/2021

The Apostle Paul who wrote 2/3rds of the New Testament and turned the world upside down(or should I say right-side up) knew how to pray! The good news for us is many of his prayers are recorded!

They are the will of God!


And
We can pray them also!
As you pray them you are assured you are praying the perfect will of God, and He will answer them!



1Jn 5:14  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 
1Jn 5:15  And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.



Example:
Colossians_1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

You can personalize it by making it your prayer for yourself, your family, co workers, something like this:

Father I ask that you would fill me to overflow with the knowledge of your perfect will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding!
In Jesus Name amen!

Simple but powerful!

You can do the same with the next verse!


(Colossians 1:10)  That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;


As you do you can have confidence God will begin to fulfill you request because His Word will not return void!

Little Foxes

The Power of Little


(Song of Solomon 2:15) Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: ...
Its little things that destroy bring destruction to a house,

A small leak in a roof can bring on severe and expensive damage.

A small termite.

A frayed wire.

Dont let a little strife, lust, fear, unforgiveness begin to wear away at your spiritual house .

Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you


However, a little worship, prayer, time with God, time in His Word. Will bring transformation to your life (house).


1Co 3:12  (12-13) The quality of materials used by anyone building on this foundation will soon be made apparent, whether it has been built with gold, silver, and costly stones, or wood, hay, and straw. Their work will soon become evident, for the Day will make it clear, because it will be revealed by blazing fire! And the fire will test and prove the workmanship of each builder.


In this Day and Hour we can not neglect the small things.


No compromise.
No excuses.
No Blaming others.


Get into the Word, Get in Fellowship with the Father through Jesus Christ.
