Depression: How I Deal With It
Вставка

- I was outside working around my property today, and thought I’d share with you all how I deal or battle with my depression. I sure hope it blesses someone. I love you, and most importantly, Yahweh loves you.
Amen brother. I think that depression is a natural burden for those who care deeply and are highly intuitive. That sensitivity is a natural pendulum swing from the positive side. Let's also remember that the Messiah Himself was a man well acquainted with sorrow - not a happy clappy type.
But this is not the time for us to feel at ease and peaceful and happy, right. If we can find moments like those in this life - HalleluYah. But the true time for that is soon to be. So perhaps we get often depressed because we know deep down that we are far away from our home, and we don't see justice, mercy, equity, peace and safety but the opposite...
Nevertheless, messages like this one helps soothe those who suffer with this heaviness like a good balm! So may the Most High bless you for your kind words, and may He bring our home soon!
Love & Shalom
Thank you for your input on this subject. Sums up the thoughts I have clearly. May Yah bless you!
What a beautiful message. I agree with helping other being true medicine. I started cooking and feeding homeless out of my RV traveling all over the country. And it has been the most wonderful time of my life. Homeless people are some of the most wonderful people humble greatful thankful people I have ever met. Thank you for your honesty. Beautiful message.
Thank you. Since I lost my land and moved to an apartment , I don't get out much and I was used to being outdoors every day. I used to work at a park before I became disabled. Now I sit inside alone and it's very depressing. I should find something to do.
Amein! Truly, when I am feeling down trodden in my spirit, looking for people to help or serve is key! Taking my eyes off of myself and my problems and seeking the needs of others really puts things in perspective!
Praise YAHWEH He gives us an antidote for depression 💛
Beautiful message indeed.. There is a great children's book, called "it could always be worse" a Yiddish folktale. And indeed taking the focus off of self & help someone in need is good medicine. Such great advice. We all know someone in need. There is an old saying that goes, "The Creator gave us two ears and one mouth which means we are to listen twice as much as we speak." ❤ Thank you for your message. Shalom.
I struggle deeply with depression. I have for various reasons over the years. It can be crippling. I really appreciate this episode.
A couple friends recommended for a decade for me to take St. John's Wort the herbal mood lifter that lifts your serotonin levels in your brain. I finally listen to them after 10 years and just take one a day and it cut my depression and anxiety down 90%! When I was stuck in a rut of depression, a neighbor gave me two DVDs of Joel Osteen. One was titled letting go of the past and the other was titled expecting the best for the future. I had to play those multiple times a day to get off the couch and start to live again. After losing three relatives in a year and a half including my mother. It started renewing my thinking and giving me hope and expectation for a brighter future. That was probably 20 years ago. God is good! Yahweh is good!
What a great testimony brother! I take St. John’s Wort everyday. 🙂
You definitely helped me by sharing this. Made me be more okay with the way I am. Thank you brother. Glory to Yah for using you like he does.
Brother, we help people most when we are vulnerable. It's also one of the bravest things we can do and it can make such a big kingdom difference. Thank you. Praying for all of you tonight who suffer from depression
Thank you for this message, brother. This is not something typically addressed by ministries, and it is important. I see a lot of good people suffering from depression and anxiety, even those firm in the faith walk. We all have ailments at the end of the day and some days get hard, like you said. May Yah heal and comfort those who are suffering. Continue to fight the good fight.
This was a very humble and honest message. It seems like it's always healthier to focus on the needs of others than our self. Good reminder.
Shalom, shalom, thank you Preacher. Blessings to you all.
This really touched me and confirmed some things. I can sympathize and empathize. YHWH Bless
Simple & profound wisdom. Thank you, brother Matthew.
You’re a beautiful guy in His Kingdom Matthew, Thank you for sharing 😍
This message was such a blessing to me!! Your authenticity is a true gift from Yahweh 🙏🙏
Thanks for sharing brother Matthew! Love you
I’m listening to your Torah interview with Sean Griffin and thought I’d sub to your channel. Thank you for this video, as I struggle with depression
One of your most important messages. Thank you brother Matthew. Shalom!
I sure have missed seeing you brother. Hope all is well. I love you…
@@emjmnc I miss seeing y’all as well brother. I have been listening in on the phone though. Brother Jerry preached a good one. I love you brother
Thank you so much brother.
Thank you for sharing this part of your walk. 🙏🕊
Great video my friend. Keep em coming.

Thank you Brother Matthew, I too struggle with depression and this helped
Thanks for sharing
Brother Matt...Yes...agree and have similar issues. Thank you again and love to our 🌹.
No one has arrived yet...why it's a journey for each one and knowing that far Greater than us has overcome death is our Great Hope.
Hey brother do you have any root canals? I know that's weird to ask but it is relevant to this topic. They are linked to mental health issues.
No, no root canals here 😃
Shalom my dear brother Matthew 🙏💞🙏 Thank you for sharing your messages with us. Living on this earth can get hard. At times I get depressed, and the same thing happens to me too. Outside does help 😊👍
ty u bro much love to you and the family of YAWA
I find that a tight grasp on perspective can be a good remedy for depression. I've suffered from depression through drug use in my earlier years, and find that being able to latch onto perspective to my current situation helps to forget about the problems I may be facing or could be facing.
You know, I don't know if I would call what I face most days, these days, as depression...perhaps deep sadness or numbness, or even loneliness and sometimes all at the same time plus other things. I know this is event driven, it wasn't my normal until December 2021 when my youngest son died. December 24, it was 930 in the morning and I watched my 20 year old son pass away in his sleep... There hasn't been a day since that I haven't cried...and my wife is the same. Maybe it is depression, I just hate labels I guess. I know how I feel or don't feel as the case may be. I agree with you, doing something does help. Not that it makes the feeling go away but it's not the focus that it was while i'm busy. It takes effort some days and some days it doesn't. Often they (the feelings and thoughts and pain) ambush me. I'll hear something, or see something or even smell something. Sometimes I forget for a moment and I'll go to ask him a question...like, what do you want from the store. Anyway, thank you for this I'll try some of the things you mentioned. Yah bless brother, and may He fill you with His peace and love always. -Chris
I struggled with depression for most of my life, but it was because I insisted on comparing myself to others and worrying about their perception of me(especially concerning women). Since dedicating myself to YHVH, the depression is all but nonexistent. It also helps that I'd discovered that I'm not meant for romantic relationships of any kind. I have no desire to do so, and I don't miss them in the slightest. The clarity that it provides is an incredible gift.
Thank you so much for talking about depression. I’ve suffered a great deal and really get affected to the point where my walk suffers. There are times I’ve felt so alone and truly believed im not saved because I’ve thought Christians don’t suffer from this.And my joy is gone so I can’t be filled with the spirit. I am a carpenter but no quite a few trades and helping people truly helps sometimes I ask people if they need anything fixed and offered to do it for free and I think it may put people off as they find that suspicious.Thank you for the tips because just going out sometimes it’s very difficult and as I said because it affects my walk. Has anyone got any ideas how I can approach someone to help them because they would rather call someone to fix something and be heavily charged and that is something I don’t want to happen. As I said any tips on how to approach people and put across a message that is sincere. I would really appreciate it thank you
Fishing cures depression, and then donate the spoils to your friends and family.
Depression is also a spirit and it has to be cast out! Even believers can be oppressed by unclean spirits.
Brother Matthew I'm a long time listener. Brother, seems to me you may of thrown the baby out with the bath water when you came to Torah. I ask that you pray for more knowledge on the unclean spirits. Yah shows insight when we ask him. I've had over 47 years experience in Deliverance and Yah is still setting the oppressed free.
Love you Brother
Nope not same as broken leg, it’s Demonic. Period.
Depression(spirit of Heaviness) is a demon, can be cast out in Yeshua's name.
No it's not, it's just part of being a human in a fallen world. If depression is a literal "spirit" ("of heaviness", then joy is literally oil, and praise is an actual garment.
@@anonymom_ sister ive had it cast out of me and ive cast it out of others. I urge you to reconsider and search this matter out
Maybe it depends what they are speaking of. I asked God for healing or else i wouldn't follow him, he healed mine.. I wanted to kill myself though. Maybe some people call themselves depressed when in fact they are just bogged down and overwhelmed with life . That would be different.🤷🏼♀️
I completely agree with you brother! I to had it cast out of me as well! All negative feelings are evil spirits, depression, suicidal thoughts, etc! May Yehueh bless you and your family!! In Yehshua’s name!❤️✨
Is the reason you believe depression is a demon because the passage you're quoting from says "spirit"? The reason it says, "spirit of heaviness" is because sometimes our spirit becomes heavy (depressed). It's not speaking of a foreign spirit, it's talking about the human spirit. It's natural for things to weigh heavily upon us. Depression is natural. That's not to say it can't cross over into an illness. Depression, the illness, can actually run in families (like mine), just like other illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, etc. Just like these other bodily illnesses are not demons, neither is depression; it is a bodily illness too (the brain is a part of the body). Illnesses can be healed miraculously, no doubt, if Yah wills it. So, if you have been spontaneously healed of the illness of depression, Praise Yah! If you have felt depressed, and suddenly had your spirit feel lighter, Praise Yah. There's no reason to believe demons are involved. It's just part of being human.
I doubt you'll see this, brother Matthew, but all my life I've struggled with depression and anxiety, mainly due to bullying and weight issues. I have a husband but he doesn't believe in depression, says it's God triggering a guilty conscience for sins. I pray for help, but it seems the Devil answers instead. My only avenues of relief come from the Bible and the church, but also from the secret sin of m-sturbation. At first, it was to memories of my husband and me from happier times, but somehow I wound up on a gore website and I was immediately addicted, so now I relieve my stress by m-bating to cartel execution videos. Shootings, mutilations, burnings. There was one called Ghost Rider that was so awful that I cried for hours after I was finished abusing myself. I can't explain it, but the shocking violence excites me and causes my anxieties and self-loathing to go away...at least for a few moments. Then, it's back to the endless loop of pain and disgust.
My husband found out and said that I'm possessed, but I know it's not true. I love God and my church, but I also love the feeling of relief I get from doing that to that sick stuff. Am I lost? Do I need to just tell God to give up on me and call it a day? I don't even know what to do and sometimes I don't even know if I care anymore. God bless you, brother!
