Depression or Demons?

Sometimes depression in the form of: mental fatigue, exhaustion or terrible negative thoughts about others or myself come to me. The Bible says that Satan and the demons are responsible for some of them, God also can test us and St. Paul says that our own lusts can lead us astray. So sometimes our sins, catastrophes and bad attitudes are beyond our control and sometimes they are within our control. No matter what the cause, we are urged to take our thoughts into captivity, argue our case to God like Job did, & cast the demons out. Resist the devil and he will flee. God has given us everything to succeed in life, but he also has given some thorny problems to keep us humble. I'd rather be depressed and make it to Heaven than be cured, handsome and successful in this life just to end up in Hell. We must claim the victory over depression, finances, relationships and spiritual defeats, because that is the battle a Christian must fight. Others fight the flab, so others can lust after them or they will be popular. That's not God's Kingdom that's Satan's. Some exercise to win a gold, silver or bronze medal, but that is not a reward from God's Kingdom but Man's. So who do you want to suffer the pains of disciplining your body, mind and emotions for the World or Jesus Christ? You will suffer, one way or another so, suffer for God and enjoy his New Kingdom, where you will lay down your cross, once & for all. 9/22/10, http://EmotionalMentalMindHealth.YolaSite.com
