DEFEATING DEPRESSION

THIS IS A MESSAGE I WANT TO SHARE WITH ALL OF YOU, THAT I GOT FROM  PASTOR JOHN HA GEE MINISTRIES. GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT OF POWER AND LOVE AND A SOUND MIND": SO WHAT ARE WE WORRIED ABOUT ? SOME OF US WORRY ABOUT JUST  EVERYTHING. I DON'T LIKE BEING AROUND PEOPLE WHO ARE ALWAYS TALKING AND BELIEVING EVERYTHING THAT THEY HEAR THAT IS NEGATIVE. STAY AWAY FROM PEOPLE LIKE THAT WHO WILL EVENTUALLY CONTAMINATE YOUR FAITH. SOMEONE MAY ASK , SISTER GLADYS WHAT DOES THAT MEAN , MY FAITH IS CONTAMINATED? GLAD YOU ASKED, WHEN ANYTHING BECOMES CONTAMINATED , THERE IS AN OUTSIDE INGREDIENT THAT IS ADDED TO THE ORIGINAL PRODUCT, USUALLY SOMETHING THAT IS BAD, OR SOMETHING THAT WILL CHANGE THE PRODUCT  TOO MUCH FROM THE ORIGINAL ONE. IN THIS CASE ITS THE WORD OF GOD THAT PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO CHANGE  FOR THEIR ON BENEFIT, BUT NO MATTER HOW HARD WE TRY WE CANT CHANGE GOD'S WORD. THE WORD OF GOD WAS HERE IN THE BEGINNING, AND IT WILL BE HERE FOREVER. SO WE NEED TO ACCEPT WHAT IT SAYS. THAT'S WHY SO MANY PEOPLE ARE DEPRESSED, BECAUSE THEY WANT TO CHANG THINGS TO FIT THEIR THINKING, AND WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK -OUT THEY ARE UN HAPPY. THE LORD WANTS US TO ",CAST ALL OUR CARES ON HIM, FOR HE CARES FOR US". JESUS SAID TO , "BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING, BUT IN EVERYTHING BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION, WITH THANKSGIVING, LET YOUR REQUEST BE MADE KNOWN TO GOD; AND THE PEACE OF GOD, WHICH SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING, WILL GUARD YOUR HEART AND MIND THROUGH CHRIST JESUS."(Phil.4:6-7) JESUS ALSO  SAID HE WOULD NOT ALLOW US TO GO THROUGH MORE THAN WE ARE ABLE TO BEAR, HE WILL EVEN GIVE US A WAY OF EX CAPE, BUT WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT, BECAUSE WE ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO FIND THE SALUTATIONS FOR OURSELVES,WE BECOME, OVER-BURDENED, DEPRESSED, UPSET, FRUSTRATED WHEN WE CANT FIX IT, WE WOULD HAVE THAT PEACE THAT THE WORLD CANT GIVE US IF WE GO TO GOD IN PRAYER FIRST, BUT MOST OF US IS STILL TRYING TO FIX EVERYTHING, INSTEAD OF GIVING IT TO JESUS, LET HIM FIX IT. THEN WE CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT, KNOWING THAT ITS IN THE MASTER BUILDER'S HANDS. THIS IS OUR MESSAGE FOR ALL OF US TODAY. TRY JESUS, FOR HE IS ALRIGHT. EACH OF US HAS TO HAVE OUR OWN RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM' AMEN, "SEEK THE LORD WHILE HE MAYBE FOUND, AND CALL UPON HIM WHILE HE IS NEAR."        GOD BLESS, SISTER GLADYS
