All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

Being stalked by satan.

For almost six years, I have woken each morning and kicked that devil back under the bed. He has hit at me more times than I can count. Seems like the closer I get to God, the harder satan comes after me. I went last week and my Dr. changed my medication for Major depression and Im praying it will work. But in the last three months, it seems like my world has fallen apart. I have been put on meds for a rapid heart rate, more meds for mini panic attacks, undergone numerous testing for other health issues, and tomorrow have to have a colonoscopy and endoscopy. Unreal. Since the devil can't get my mind, he seems to be going after my body. I am staying in His word and praying everyday, but somewhere over the last few weeks, my joy has been sucked out of me and I know it is satan. I have practically yelled out to anyone who will listen the wonderful way that God came back into my life and Healed my mind and heart and I sing the Lords praises for delivering me from the depths of depression and despair, but I feel like the devil is trying to take away my testimony by dragging me back into the mentally unstable pit. Pleae pray with me for immediate recovery so that I may continue to use my story to others about the healing power of God. I realize we all go through trials and tribulations and I believe that in the end, God brings us through them and they make us even stronger desicples for God. but I have a feeling of deep misery, doom and despair and I do NOT want to lose this battle and ever go back to that place where I was. Thank you all my brothers and sisters in Christ for any encouraging thoughts or prayers!!

Dear ASF,

Satan is a like a roaring lion, but we aren't intimidated. Whatever happens to a Christian is allowed by God to test, strengthen or to make us cling tighter to our Daddy. We know that physical & mental illness happens to everyone, regardless of religion or relationship to God that shouldn't surprise us. We know that this world is cursed & full of suffering, sorrow & disease and that makes us long for the day when Jesus Christ will set up his Kingdom on earth. Your witness is still solid as long as you realize that angels & demons are fighting for your soul & Jesus has you & your soul protected & spoken for. You are on the winning side & I hope many will join you & all faithful Christians.

I know that some days are harder than others when it comes to those cracks of depression but I have learned that when we give the enemy even a very small foothold he will stick his whole leg in there until he takes over. I pray in the Spirit immediately when I feel depression coming on. I also pray that my anger at the devil for stealing 50 years of my life before receiving Jesus does not stick with me for long either because that is another way he steals joy. Well, too bad, he can't have it GLORY,GLORY,GLORY TO GOD!!! THANKYOU HEAVENLY FATHER! :) :D

I just wanted to update a little. I have continued my therapy sessions and am trying to learn to cope better with depression, anxiety and stress. We all have it...mine is just bad enought to be classified as disorders. Seems my PTSD is trying to edge its way back into the present as well. But I appreciate all of your prayers. I have been praying and studying Gods word. I love music and so many songs and artist touch my soul. I was going through YouTube and ran across a gospel group I had not heard of before. The Crabbs...they are an awesome family singing praises to God. I listened to this one song, "Through the Fire" and have repeatedly watched this video daily. My spirits are beginning to be lifted, My heart and soul feel more at ease and I am so amazed at the passion and message of this song. I recommend that anyone going through any difficulty in life look up this vidoe and spend four minutes of their time and I promise you will be blessed. Keep the prayers coming, I have a long way to go, but thank you to my sweet Jesus, Im getting there!! God Bless you all!!!
