My depression was predominately spiritual in natural. No medication would touch it unless it was something just to sedate me and put me to sleep but, then I had to wake up and the suicidal thoughts hounded me constantly. Jesus Christ set me free! Praise be to God!
this information, i need to hear. thank God for this brother, God has given him the gift of wisdom, knowledge, and teaching. . i am suffering from depression, Gods Word, gives me so much hope. thank you for posting this!
Abuse also causes depression. Having lived with a dr jekyl/Mr Hyde who claimed to be a Christian man. He said he needed to do away with me me in order to do God's will. You do t think this could mess a person up! Every case of depression is individual! It helps to show compassion!
+Miracle Inprogress I think you meant by God's Holy Spirit. And his teachings as in Dr. Anderson. No capital H necessary. It belongs to Christ Jesus. Him to Whom all credit is actually due.
Well Lindy, keep praying to God and Jesus Christ, pray to God to lead you to the right church and people and if you can buy the book the Bondage Breaker by Neil T Anderson the same person.
Edward, Thank you for that encouragement. Depression: In that hole of darkness there is such vulnerability for being **self** deceived. King David "talked" to his own soul and reminded himself of the victory: Hope in God ...not in self. Have a great day, Bro.
Neil certainly knows all about recognizing it and dealing with it. The comments regarding suicide that Tolstoy said...just amazing. Talk about harrassment! The fact that Tolstoy had no negative circumstances in business or family: Very interesting. I surmise that he was such a threat to satan that demons were always picking at him. Perhaps he had no knowledge even similar to what Neil has. Today our brains are "impacted" with too much info. We must carve out time to just think, be in awe with dogs, cats, flowers, blue sky. Must go. Be blessed, Bro
This was pretty helpful. So it is my temperament. That's why since I was a baby I would cry at sad parts of the story on tv. And I would feel great concern for the whole world at times. Which is why I now isolate, so I don't worry about the whole world. Plus, my concern is not just to protect myself, but others as well. I know for sure, my problem is mainly a battle over my mind. I feel oppressed spiritually, not just depressed. And medication was not enough, tried for two years. Christian counselling helped. My body is pretty healthy, good family genes. My paternal granpda passed away in his 90's. His wife is almost 100. My other grandparents are almost 90. And when people emphasized my body and brain. I would feel super upset. I know it's about my heart and soul/spirit and my mind. Not only my brain and body. But definitely, I need help from Dr. Anderson or someone who lives near me who can help as he does. I've tried for long with some help, but I found it lacking. And definitely can't do it on my own, tried and tried and tried. I've tried prayer deliverances, prayer healings rooms, etc. They help for a bit. But there is stuff missing. This was after a time of feeling better thanks to reading Steps To Freedom In Christ, Bondage Breaker and Victory Over Darkness. It helped a lot from 2002 onwards. But then issues arose that led to me getting more depressed. Unforgiveness. Couldn't break free from my personal issue, Cyclothymia (emotional disorder), and the spiritual oppression. Plus, codependancy and burn out overload. Which is funny. Supposedly I got into serving in ministries because it should help to do good for others. But then codependancy was the problem. How easy it was to become the fixer, enabler, and overdoing. Not knowing when to say no. Making sure to keep that time for self care. Had wonderful breaks of closeness to God's Presence that kept reminding me. Other ways His Holy Spirit helped me. Though I was loosing my ability to concentrate or absorb God's Word. I had to repeat, repeat, repeat. Few wonderful breaks thanks to God. Sometimes I got so discouraged I forgot to keep trying. I used to struggle since 11 years of age with suicidal thoughts. Never actually attempted. Then I had a special healing moment via the Holy Spirit in the midst of my suicidal thoughts. Satan wanted to steal, kill and destroy me. God wanted me to live, and my spirit agreed with His Spirit. Since then, I still have them. At times I even planned ways to end my life. But God keeps reminding me. I am His child. He created me for a good purpose. He is the reason, I have a reason, to be here. His Love Endures Forever. So depression times, and normal times, and high energy times. I've been so depressed this past two months. The videos I've been finding on Dr. Anderson speaking have helped me so much. So glad to be reminded that my hope and security are in Christ. And even thought I have a hard time facing pain or difficult circumstances. I will get better. Just a matter of time. I pray for a divine appointment to meet the christians who can help me truly walk more freer in Christ, like I was at different past seasons of my life, but yet better, as my character grows steadfast on Jesus.
Daniels Graceful ??? =================================== Anyways. I finally found a Facilitator/Encourager via FIC Canada. She mentioned a Prayer Partner. So I am encouraged, I will be meeting them this coming week. The first one they told me to contact was not a good fit. So I encourage anyone who needs help to always keep trying to find the people who can. Sometimes, like going to a doctor. You need to keep searching for the people who can help.
My dear Elsa...Gods love does endure and He is always faithful...you do have a reason to be here, you have a purpose, your creation was not just random. It breaks my heart to read your post as I am feeling much as you are....but God is good my dear and if you look back on your life and remember how many Red Sea's He has parted for you, I do pray that alone will continue to give you hope for total deliverance by by the Father who loves you so very much.....You will be remembered in my sincere prayers. In Gods Love. Evie Miller. ( an English Lady Living in the USA).
+Mark Miller Dear Evie, Thank you so much for praying for me. At times I do remember, the past times God has been doing awesome and amazing grace things in my past experiences. Times of healing, times of encouragement, times of just holding on to Christ, because my spirit can only groan and the Holy Spirit can pray for me. I pray earnestly that: God continues to bless you abundantly as you keep in step with His Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus and His Word. In Christ, E. (A Korean Lady, Born in Argentina, now Living in Canada^^* So fluent in english, some spanish, broken korean. LOL~)
You can get his book and do the prayers w a friend or counselor or church volunteer. Also try Prayers That Heal the Heart by Mark Virkler. Very sweet and gentle.
depression can be caused by a lot of things, hypothyroid, hormone issues, grief process, don't overlook physical causes. It can also be very poor nutrition and lack of proper vitamins. It is so wrong for people to judge others who are depressed, it is a real illness. Unless you have been there do not assume you know what's going on. And Job in the Bible of course was depressed. Loss also causes depression. Why can't church people get real about this issue. Compassion is needed. Why not befriend the person! Say, can I help you with grocery shopping, how about a visit, how about you g to the doctor with them! People, compassion is needed!!!!!!!!!!!! Do unto others as you would have them do to you. What would you need if you were depressed?
I agree I have depression autism and anxiety and since I'm high function g autistic..people tend to expect me to normalize myself to be like christ. I wonder if alot of the time I'd this is all.my fault and I just have spiritual . isseus. Yea some of what I go through is spiritual but it's best to get to know the person's experiences.
Lorna Wynn Our son has Aspergers, he is 17, and I would like to know what advice you might share, in general, but especially with making friends. Our son does a lot with our daughter, who is 19, and they get along very well, she has been very influential and helpful. I appreciate anything you might share, God bless you!
Dina Try to teach him gratitude. Having a grateful spirit transforms behaviour, I know this because I have had a son who never learned it and who’s mental health has suffered because of it . I hope all goes well.
Watch the whole thing before commenting Espif you are not familiar with the speaker. I have liked some comments here and ignore some for my reason of encouragement and not judging. Have a free opened mind and interest when you watch and listen. Learn the good and analyse which is not. You are not in a clinic but this is an opportunity to knowledge of which you are of interest or not. Depression is not the only thing for me compared to what I went through and what doctors might diagnosed me with without the Truth.. Yet I seek and part of it is keep open mind. Please do not judge, do not criticize so quickly. instead ask questions if you do not understand.
Does anyone know if Neil still does the seminars? My story is much like the man who was depressed & lived in the basement. Could really use his help. Thank you.
I am biopolar if I don't take ability I can't sleep or eat properly on ability I have stability but not cured I'm tired all the time off midcation my sleep is scary bad dreams it's like there's explosions in my head when I'm sleeping i think these are bad thoughts that scare me
+KatherinVII That it's only for christians you mean? Well, when you see the word Ministries in the name, it should have been obvious. Not everyone is an atheist or agnostic.
KatherinVII You never explained why you find it misleading. So I am assuming you are not christian. So to you it would feel misleading to hear a christian message about overcoming depression. If you wanted that but not with Christ.
Elisa K. Oh, ok. No that's not what I meant. It just seems not enough about Jesus or how to over come depression and too much self promoting and anecdotal examples. Which provides for good listening, just not a whole lot of substance in relation to the title.
Oh hello! Have you tried Depzap Total Depression Domination (Have a quick look on google, cant remember the place now)? Ive heard some super things about it and my cooworker managed to get rid of depression quickly.

Jesus + prayer = cure from depression
Abuse also causes depression. Having lived with a dr jekyl/Mr Hyde who claimed to be a Christian man. He said he needed to do away with me me in order to do God's will. You do t think this could mess a person up! Every case of depression is individual! It helps to show compassion!
I see commentsike this,so distort
God's grace is good !! I was healed by His teachings and His Spirit too. Like this one.
+Miracle Inprogress
I think you meant by God's Holy Spirit. And his teachings as in Dr. Anderson. No capital H necessary. It belongs to Christ Jesus. Him to Whom all credit is actually due.
Well, capital H is meant to indicate it's no mere human I'm talking about, don't you do it that way ? GBU !
It sounded like you were using it for Dr. Anderson. Just wanted to clarify.
By the way, no idea what GBU means. No need to get mad at me.
twas a lil ambiguous indeed
Miracle Inprogress Okey dokey^^*
Another great sermon from Neil T Anderson.
Still overcoming? Me too?

Dear Evie,
Thank you so much for praying for me.

Times of healing, times of encouragement, times of just holding

can pray for me.
I pray earnestly that:
God continues to bless you abundantly as you keep in step with
His Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus and His Word.

Get his book. Go through the prayers w a church volunteer or friend or counselor. God bless.
There is very little is this speech which applies to the title. This speech should be retitled as it is very misleading.

That it's only for christians you mean? Well, when you see the word Ministries in the name, it should have been obvious. Not everyone is an atheist or agnostic.

You never explained why you find it misleading. So I am assuming you are not christian.
So to you it would feel misleading to hear a christian message about overcoming depression.
If you wanted that but not with Christ.
Elisa K. Oh, ok. No that's not what I meant. It just seems not enough about Jesus or how to over come depression and too much self promoting and anecdotal examples. Which provides for good listening, just not a whole lot of substance in relation to the title.

You have more than five senses. Some estimate as many as 27

I'm glad I did not buy the book because by the speech that I just listened to really did not get to the point of how to overcome depression
