Defeating DepressionSample

         Have you ever had a sore that scabbed over rather quickly, but it was still sore underneath? Every time you bumped it, it hurt because it was not really healed underneath? Did you become more conscious of that area of your body? Did you make an extra effort to be more careful to avoid bumping the area? Did you become intentional? So it is with our hurts, our habitual negative words, or negative actions. 

       We must make an extra conscious effort to change our thinking and thus our speaking and actions. You must be intentional about overcoming depression. No one can change it for you. You are on your own to simply STOP saying and DOING the things you have been saying and doing. You are on your own to stop thinking the way you have been thinking. You will need to make a conscious effort to continue to spend more time in prayer, more time in the Word, and more time reading and speaking positive confessions so that your Word consciousness and positive thinking consciousness become second nature to you. 

        Keep up the good work. You are on your way to freedom. It’s your time, so stay with the plan. Literally. Allow the Lord to keep his promises to you. Keep believing. Keep confessing. Keep praying. Keep being positive. And if you run into a negative speaking, negative thinking person, KEEP RUNNING.
