The enemy is warring night and day against humanity in an effort to derail as many of GOD's creation as possible. Depression is one of the most devastating tools he uses. If he can pollute ones mind with thoughts of despair and defeat, then he is on target to destroy!
Ephesians 6:12 (KJV) says
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
But, the Apostle Paul knew how to defeat the enemy. Paul wrote in
Philippians 4:8 (KJV) these encouraging words. "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
It is almost impossible to think on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report and be down in the dumps! The enemy loses when GOD is praised! I choose to PRAISE the ONE WHO is worthy! Hebrews 13:15 says "By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name."
