DEPRESSION

What does it mean to really be depressed? Well the word is defined as low in spirits and dejected. This definition says nothing about the mental or the psyche of the human brain so this disease, this problem, this attack or this contagious thing has to be greater than what the human mind can understand. We have to attack this problem on a more spiritual level. We surely don’t become depressed when our physical is in a happy state but how does our physical become happy or depressed you are asking? It starts with improper or proper care of the spiritual. As we develop physically our spiritual is growing also, we develop relationships in the natural and spiritual ties in the spiritual realm. Romans 2:17 speaks' of a relationship with God. God is not a physical character that we can touch; he can reveal himself to us in the physical although he is a spirit. Depression becomes a problem when the spiritual ties that are upon us are not in good relationship with God or when our own spirit is not in good relationship with God. The heaviness that is felt from within is our spirit-man crying out for the affection that is missing in ones life. What is missing is the relationship with God. This does not mean you personally don’t have that relationship; it could be that a spiritual tie, relationship in which you have encountered through life is the heaviness pulling on you. You may need to be an intercessor for this person, the one who steps in the gap on their behalf in the spiritual. You may even need to let some things go and quit holding on to some relationships or spiritual ties. Ask God to release you from the state of depression you are feeling. In the physical you must surround yourself with positive people who have an upbeat spirit who are filled with joy, a person who is in good relationship with God or one who can be an intercessor on your behalf. Depression is simply a spiritual sickness that we must over come. It’s time to drop the baggage, drop the bad relationships, and rid yourself of the improper relationship.
