Depression and Discouragement.

Depression and Discouragement; send them to hell.

As a car is one car made up of many parts, so to is the church; many people, one church. God sees His church as established by Jesus and made up of all of us. An interesting point is; it’s not that Jesus went up to Heaven, but that God came down to Jesus. He does that for each one of us; comes down to turn us to the Divine just as He did for Jesus.

Jesus is the pattern we’re to follow. He loved, prayed, worshipped, committed and submitted to all people. He unites all in spite of our differences. We’re to do the same. Jesus didn’t come to change the culture, but to heal and overcome death; death of relationships, death of poverty, death due illness and the list goes on, finishing ultimately in eternal life. 

We worship movie stars, pop stars and sport stars while at the same time we ignore the homeless, the poor, the sick and the needy. These people are just as important in God’s eyes, more so even as the humble are made mighty, while the mighty fall.

If you feel inadequate, you’re not alone. God sees your faithfulness and that means more to him than any other sacrifice. Just as Jesus was nothing in the eyes of some, He was exalted before all. There is no hierarchy in God’s eyes. Every one is equal. The rich are no more valuable to God than the poor.

If you seek Him first, you will find Him and if you find Him, tell people about Him. Let Him speak through you and you will touch a heart. For if you seek Him, all things change. Don’t look at circumstances, look at the Light. No doubt. No fear. No trepidation. He saves. He heals. He lifts out of the sinking seas.

Keep your eyes on Jesus. Receive your miracle. Stop talking, thinking, worrying about your issue and keep your focus on the Light, on the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Have confidence in Him. Stop being weak and double-minded in your faith. Think upon the Lord continually. Don’t for a minute think your problem is unsolvable, unfixable, unhealable.

Depression and discouragement destroy faith. Send them back to the pit of hell from whence they came. And do it again tomorrow and the next day if you have to. Do it until they leave.
