The Spirit of Heaviness..

Hello 👋 😁 & Welcome!

The Lord has impressed upon my heart a word in Season for those who are battling depression. May the Holy Spirit reach down and pull you out of your pit as he brings total restoration inside your life.

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.“ – Matthew 11:28-30

We are instructed from the word of God to put on that garment of praise. When we feel the Spirit of heaviness, pray in the Holy Spirit for understanding and magnify the Lord for He is worthy to be praised.

Isaiah 61:1-4

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.”

Depression is a tactic of the enemy and it’s important to recognize it as such. Once you do that, you can apply God’s Word in commanding this spirit to leave.

A few scripture references to build up your most Holy faith as you stand on God’s word by making it applicable inside your life. 🌱
