But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole
need not a physician, but they that are sick. |

CHRISTIAN DEPRESSION COUNSELING
CHRISTIAN DEPRESSION HELP
If you suffer from depression, chances are, you
have probably learned all about government funded research about
depression that shows such things as chemical changes that take place
in the brain which causes some kind of imbalance contributing to the
condition.
You may have found that many doctors believe that
medication is the answer to managing depression and you may have
discovered that psychiatrists feel mental therapy is the best way to
keep depression under control, and who knows what else is out there.
You probably also know that depression is many times a symptom of a
different problem, and in order to get rid of your depression, you
have to find a solution to your problem.
If you’re familiar with Depression you know that
it is an overwhelming feeling of sadness and confusion and that it sometimes causes fatigue, mood
swings, crying, physical reactions, and lots of other things.
You probably also know that there are different levels of depression.
Some people are bipolar, which is a trendy psychological term for being
manic-depressive, or experiencing severe depression sometimes, yet
other times experiencing a very elevated mood or enthusiastic outlook
on life.
There is mild depression, where you can still
function quite normally, but you are by no means happy and there is also
severe depression which causes some people to become immobilized, where
they can’t even get up out of bed because they are so physically
drained by their emotions.
This Christian Depression study takes a look at a Christian approach,
not a clinical approach to dealing with depression. I tell you the TRUTH ... Jesus is the most awesome healer there is.
REAL CHRISTIAN DEPRESSION COUNSELING
BIBLICAL CHRISTIAN DEPRESSION HELP
What is Christian Depression and how does one overcome Christian Depression? Now ... We are not gonna talk a lot about the causes of depression itself in this study.
The intent of this study isn’t to give you a lot
of reasons or excuses as to why you experience depression, or analyze you in
any way, because only God truly knows why you are depressed.
The Bible is quite clear on the origin of Christian depression ...
|
Proverbs 12:25
Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a
good word makes it glad. (NKJV) |
How quickly you
recover from this state of mind and heart is all up to you, because that’s a choice
only you can make.
That’s right ... it’s a choice.
As long as you hold
on to the idea that something, or someone else can cure your
depression, you may be holding yourself back from ridding yourself of
this awful condition. Some types of Depression are nothing more than a bad habit, and
nobody can break a habit for anyone else ... You have to break a habit
of your own free will or it will continue to control
you.
And you CAN with God.
|
Matthew 19:26
With men this is impossible; but with God all things are
possible. |
I would like to encourage you not to allow depression
to be
some kind of big terrible ugly monster that is impossible to destroy.
It is not.
Christian Depression Counseling truth ... All you have to do is take hold of God’s Hand, and ask Him
for His strength in helping you to conquer this obstacle that is
preventing you from serving Him as effectively as you possibly can.
You are very important to Him, and to prove it, He led you here to
guide you in solving this menacing problem.
He loves you and He wants
you to be happy so ... Let’s get started with obtaining and maintaining peace from Christian Depression.
|
Psalms 37:4
Delight thyself also in the LORD: and He shall give
thee the desires of thine heart. |
What we will be talking about in this
study are some different methods you can use to get rid of depression
and keep it from returning. As with ANY kind of medication,
these methods won’t work unless you actually practice them.
This is medication for the SOUL.
One of the best ways to combat depression is with
music.
CHRISTIAN DEPRESSION COUNSELING FROM THE BIBLE
CHRISTIAN DEPRESSION HELP AND HOPE
MUSIC SOOTHES THE SOUL
I know, I know ... Sounds too easy.
But, you know very well music has the
ability to uplift your spirit at times.
But, is this BIBLICALLY Sound?
Absolutely !!!
When king Saul had an evil spirit within,
anguishing him, David played the harp for him and Saul was
refreshed and well.
In TRUTH ...
The evil spirit left him.
|
1 Samuel 16:23
And it came to pass, when the evil
spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played
with his hand: so Saul was
refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him. |
So, does that mean that evil spirits cause
depression?
They can.
Bad spirits don’t like
anything that is the opposite of their intent, so they’ll find it
uncomfortable in a joyful and holy environment ...
And they will leave.
The effects of music are usually immediate Christian Depression help.
You don’t have to wait 20 minutes
like you do with aspirin, or days like you do with antibiotics.
Turn
it on, and let the healing begin.
IT'S ABOUT TIME
Another way to overcome depression is to occupy your time.
Do you have too much time on your
hands? Idle hands are the devil’s workshop.
|
Ecclesiastes 10:18
By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and
through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through. |
If you have nothing to do, spend some time with the
Holy Spirit, read some of our Christian studies, read the Bible. Avoid
idle time. Buy a Bible crossword puzzle book. Plant a garden. Paint a
picture. Clean a closet. There are plenty of things that will keep
your mind occupied and off your problems.
It will occupy your time as well as fill
you with Christian values.
You will be so busy you will not have time
to to worry anymore.
That’s one big problem with
depression, isn’t it ... Worrying about yourself?
You’re not this...
You’re too that...
You wish this...
You want that...
You can’t this...
You worry about that...
Know how to fix that?
Become a servant for the Lord.
HOW TO OVERCOME CHRISTIAN DEPRESSION WITH HOPE
BROTHER'S KEEPER
Another way to overcome depression ...
Help SOMEBODY ELSE who has a problem.
One sure way to forget your own
problem is to help someone else with theirs. Do some volunteer work.
Go to a convalescent home and read to someone. Give a few of your
spare hours to the soup kitchen in your city and help the homeless.
Just picture Jesus smiling down on you when you do something like
that?
|
Matthew 25:40
Whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do it for me. |
CHRISTIAN DEPRESSION COUNSELING ADVICE
CHRISTIAN DEPRESSION HELP FOR YOU
If you were doing something for Jesus, wouldn’t it make you feel better than being depressed? When you know you’re making a difference for others, you feel like your life really counts for something, and it automatically lifts your spirits, then your uplifted spirit spreads to God’s people. Plus you can even have your own sins removed while saving a soul.
|
James 5:20
Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner
from the error of his way shall save a soul from
death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. |
What could be better?
The Lord wants
you to become involved with His people, that’s what church is,
Christians communing with one another. You help someone, and someone
else helps you, and we all support one another.
Replace things that make you feel bad (like too much
thinking) with things that make you feel good (do more doing).
Stop
thinking, start doing!
If you don’t allow yourself idle time to think
about how depressed you are, then that’s a pretty good solution to a
huge part of the problem isn’t it? Take away any opportunity for
depression to sneak into your thoughts. Stop thinking about yourself,
and start doing things for others.
Replace, repair, rejoice!
Ask God
to help you.
|
Jeremiah 33:3
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee
great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
|
Well, yeah ... But if YOU don’t worry about all
those things that you feel need worrying about in your life, who’s gonna?
The answer is ...
GOD
Only, He’s not gonna worry about them, He’s gonna
take care of them.
Is anything impossible for Him?
|
Matthew 19:26
With men this is impossible; but with God all things are
possible. |
Depression is a choice to listen to lies that the
devil tempts you with.
|
John 8:44
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of
your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the
beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there
is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he
speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
|
CHRISTIAN DEPRESSION COUNSELING
CHRISTIAN DEPRESSION HELP
Believing these lies affects your spirit. However ... No matter how long you have listened to the whispered lies. You can change your spirit. Just like something has con-vinced you that you’re depressed or sad or that you have a problem ... YOU can change it by believing that you are NOT sad and depressed and burdened. Believe to receive.
|
Matthew 21:22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer,
believing, ye shall receive. |
The magic is in the belief.
If you believe you’re
depressed, how can you be joyous?
If you tell your spirit that you’re
sad, it has no choice but to listen to you because you control your
spirit.
|
Proverbs 15:13
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by
sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. |
Our spirit reacts to our thoughts so you need to control your
thoughts. The Bible tells to maintain Good thoughts.
|
Philippians 4:8
Whatever is true, honest, just, pure,
lovely, good ...
think on these things. |
That is one of the best Christian Depression Counseling tidbits in the Bible. THINK GOOD THOUGHTS. It also makes sense that changing from sad to happy
would be an easier transition than from happy to sad, because
happiness is a more readily accepted emotion than sadness ... for anyone
... unless you simply don’t want to be happy.
That sounds foolish at first ... Why would anyone want
to be sad?
Well, for one thing ... Attention.
Ouch!
I know that can hurt those who know down
deep they do act depressed at times for attention.
However ... The truth can either
hurt, or set you free.
Depends on the mind and heart of the
recipient.
Depression is something that you can say good-bye to
this very moment if you choose to.
You won’t suffer any kind of
withdrawal from giving up this bad habit right this very second.
It’s
not like giving up chocolate or cigarettes ... You won’t crave a spell
of depression if you haven’t had any for a few hours or a few days.
There is no healing time required, like with other habits that leave
you fragile and vulnerable while you are rehabilitating from them.
It doesn’t cost a
thing to give it up, and there is only one possible thing that you
could possibly miss about choosing to be free from depression ... And
that thing is attention.
GENUINE CHRISTIAN DEPRESSION COUNSELING
CHRISTIAN DEPRESSION HELP BLESSING
Now, it’s a good thing that you are reading this
alone right now, because sometimes when we discover things for
ourselves, we find them easier to accept.
For instance:
Let’s say you
confide in your mother about your depression. She knows you inside and out,
so she identifies the problem quite easily and says with a half
annoyed look on her face and a stern yet loving voice ...
Snap out of it!
Grow up, you’re just feeling sorry for yourself!
Immediately you feel
defensive, on top of your sensitive emotional state at that time, and you deny it
to yourself, and to her, insisting that there is good reason for you
to be depressed.
Way, way down deep inside, so far deep that you don’t
even know it yourself at times, you know she’s
right, but your PRIDE won’t let you admit it, because, well, you’d
look stupid, and none of us ever want to look stupid.
It’s embarrassing, humiliating, and degrading.
So, our pride locks up
the truth where we can’t find it, and things get worse and worse and
worse, until you feel like you need medication, or counseling, or
pity, or all of the above.
Whew, what a mess.
By the way, who do you
think is orchestrating all this pride and stubbornness and denial,
anyway?
It’s not you.
It’s just poor choices made by listening
to whispers from the enemy of your soul.
remember?
|
John 8:44
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of
your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the
beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there
is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he
speaketh of his own:
for he is a liar, and the father of it.
|
When we hear and adhere to the enemy of our soul's
whispers ... We become his puppet.
Destroying our own life and the lives of
those around us.
Now, look at this Christian Depression from another angle.
Let’s say you
never told your mother about your depression. You discover for
YOURSELF (maybe right now) that you’re just feeling sorry for
yourself, you face the fact that you have indeed wanted some attention
and you tell yourself the truth about it.
You feel no need to defend
yourself against ... yourself ... or anyone else. Your pride has been
protected because you discovered the root of the problem
all on your own, instead of being told by someone else.
Now, instead
of the truth hurting, the truth has set you free!
You may even boast
about it.
Hey, Mom, It’s a wonderful day isn’t it? I was feeling quite
depressed for a while and realized how childish and selfish it was, so
I decided to control my own thoughts by giving the steering wheel over
to God instead of letting anything else
control them, and now I feel like my old self again!
(By the way,
don’t forget to thank God for His hand in your discovery!)
|
Psalms 35:9
And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall
rejoice in His salvation. |
CHRISTIAN DEPRESSION COUNSELING SUMMARY
CHRISTIAN DEPRESSION HELP CONCLUSION
You do want to be happy, you’ve just been swindled
by lies that made you believe that you should be depressed.
Remember
this, lean on Jesus.
He’s your Savior, and He wants to help.
He wants you to know the TRUTH.
|
John 8:32
And ye shall
know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. |
If you’ve identified that you have a problem with
depression, these are just a few Christian Depression Counseling suggestions of how to manage it.
Remember at the beginning of this Christian Depression help study when I said depression is many
times a symptom of another problem and you have to find the root? There are more ways to conquer the
problem of depression and whatever may be causing it, and there’s a
very promising chance that you can rid your life of depression once
and for all.
It is time for the joy and peace you
seek to be restored in your life.
|
Psalms 118:24
This is the
day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. |
