Holiday Depression

Hello Family – I just wanted to share one of my daily devotionals.  With this being the holiday season, the depression attacks come more often…but keep in mind that we celebrate the birth/ death/ resurrection of Jesus Christ 365 days per year, and we should be a giving people all year long – so we don’t get caught up into the holiday stress that the world creates.  My true friends know that this is how I live year round.  So have a blessed week…

December 20th - God Calling devotional:

Fight fear as you would fight a plague.  Fight it in My name…Fear, even the smallest fear, is the hacking at the cords of Love that bind you to Me.

However small the impression, in time those cords will wear thin, and then one disappointment, or shock, and they snap.  But for the little fears the cords of Love would have held.

Fight fear.

Depression is a state of fear.  Fight that too.  Fight.  Fight.  Depression is the impression left by fear.  Fight and conquer, and oh! for Love of Me, for the sake of My tender, never-failing Love of you, fight and love and win.

My bible promise for today:  Psalm 64:1 “Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.”

My thoughts:  thank You Lord for continually exposing the plans/tricks of the enemy…

Be ready for battle...

I just wanted to share a text with my friends and loved ones that will help us be ready for facing all that is going on in the world today...have a blessed day.

Ephesians 6 (Message Bible)

A Fight to the Finish

 ^10-12And that about wraps it up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we'll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels.
 ^13-18Be prepared. You're up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it's all over but the shouting you'll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You'll need them throughout your life. God's Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other's spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out.
