Overcoming Hopelessness
In this world we are going to face negative circumstances and inevitable losses. Suffering is part of our sanctification. But persevering through trials will lead to joy in the Lord.
The Problem of Helplessness
Helplessness is a primary symptom of depression, and often it is learned. But helplessness can be overcome when we turn to the Lord!
Casting Our Anxieties on Christ
Christ has invited you to cast your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you. This means that you have to humble yourself by surrendering your ways and submitting to His ways. The following steps will help you overcome anxiety.
Anxiety & Knowing God's Ways
Human wisdom, strength and riches cannot comprehend, accomplish or buy the peace that comes from being rightly related to God. Peace comes when we live in harmony with the God-created rhythms of life.
“Plan A” Living
To overcome anxiety, we need to acquire a singleness of vision and purpose. The question is whether we are going to live our way or God’s way.
Double-Minded Thinking
Worrying doesn’t accomplish anything and won’t prevent something from happening. The mind that is focused on Christ is anxious-free.
What To Do with Satan's Accusations
Satan can render us virtually inoperative if he can deceive us into believing his lies, accusing us of being of little value to God or others. The good news is that we don't have to listen to Satan's accusations! Satan is not your judge; he is merely your accuser.
God's Protection
God’s protection from demonic attack is not something you can take for granted. This protection is conditional on your willingness to respond to God’s provision.
Depression and the Bible
Anxiety and depression affects millions of people in the United States (and the world) annually. But did you know that many people in the Bible lived with depression as well?
Do Not Be Deceived
It's critical to teach your children the reality of the spiritual world and equip them to defeat Satan's attempts to seduce them with his lies. In doing so, you are paving a way for them to walk freely into adulthood as a confident child of God.
Is the devil real?
A very real devil is intent on spoiling your life. But be assured that in Christ you have the authority to defeat Satan's schemes.
Mental Illness: A Battle for Your Mind
God knows the thoughts and intentions of our hearts. Mental illness is a distorted concept of God and a distorted concept of who we are.
Reclaim Surrendered Ground
To surrender a place from which our enemy can work in our lives to oppress us is giving him the grounds to control a specific aspect of our lives. This place is surrendered ground because it rightfully belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ, our Redeemer.
Blind Spots
Have you considered the present reality of the spiritual realm that is active around you at every moment? We need to be aware of this truth—not in fear it.
The Enemies of Our Sanctification
The power of sin is most evident when we seriously challenge it. If you aren’t encountering any opposition, you aren’t growing.
He's Always There
Many Christians are filled with confusion that their daily walk isn’t quite what it should be—leading to feelings unfulfillment and discouraging thoughts of self-doubt . Let’s take a look at this example of one Lost Sheep who found her ultimate freedom in Christ.
Counterfeit Christianity
More people have their palms and tea leaves read or pay attention to astrological write-ups rather than read the Bible. The only One who can perfectly know the future is the One who has the necessary attributes to bring it about.
Praying with Perseverance
Prayer doesn’t precede a greater work; it is our greater work. Be persistent in prayer until you sense the peace of God.
