Status Updates From Spiritual Depression: Its C...

“So if you and I find ourselves affected by this condition (spiritual depression), there is only one thing to do, it is to go to Him. If you sell the Lord Jesus Christ and find Him there is no need to worry about your happiness and joy. He is our joy and our happiness, even as He is our peace. He is life, He is everything.”

“There is only one way to get rid of self, and that is that you should become so absorbed in someone (Jesus) or something else that you have no time to think about yourself.”

“Why believe the devil instead of believing God? Ride up and realize the truth about yourself, that all your past has gone, and you are now one with Christ, all your sins have been blotted out once and for ever. O let us remember that it is sin to doubt God’s word, it is sin to allow the past, which God has dealt with, to rob us of our joy and our usefulness in the present and in the future.”

“The essence of this matter is to understand that this self of ours, the other man within us, has got to be handled. Do not listen to him; turn on him; speak to him; condemn him; upbraid him; exhort him; encourage him; remind him of what you know, instead of listening placidly to him and allowing him to drag you down and depress you.”
