Lately more Christians than not have been fighting a hard battle against weariness, depression and feeling beat down. With everything that is going on in our world, this should be no surprise.
Today Ray Bergman, Tom Bixler and I discuss our experiences with these emotions and talk about them from a Biblical point of view. We also offer solutions we have tried and found helpful.
We hope if you are going through any of these things that you will find help and hope in this podcast.
Below, some excellent quotes by Ray Bergman and Tom Bixler from this podcast that I feel are well worth repeating.
Quotes by Tom Bixler:
Tom’s Email: tej.bixler@gmail.com
Why bother? This is despair talking. Depression ushers in despair. This is not of the Lord.
Our decrees disrupt evil spiritual strongholds. They tear through them like when ripping apart a woven fabric. They cause damage on the dark side.
Depression and weariness almost always work in tandem.
Discouragement is actually of demonic origin.
Quotes by Ray Bergman:
Ray’s Blog: http://innocenceredeemed.blog
What He (the Lord) means by this is, spend less time worrying and more time praying. More time doing His will.
If we are worrying more than we are spending time with Him, it is the opposite of what He wants from us. These can also lead to sin and temptation.
Be that shining light for someone else. Think of all the times you went through and how the Lord saw you through it. If you are fortunate enough not to be going through something and see someone else who is, be a testimony to them of the Lord’s strength and mercy. He has blessed you, now go bless them!
So much depression could be alleviated by simply being doers of the Word.
