The word "depression" comes from the Latin word depressio, which means oppression, despondency or apathy; Psychopathologically it is a mood disorder that can be transient or permanent. According to scientific studies on the origin of depression, genetic and psychosocial factors influence; however, its etiology has not been fully defined.
Currently this disease is very common and nowadays for a mental health professional it is easier to diagnose this problem, because if we look at the statistics, the cases of patients with depression increase every day, mainly due to the economic situation , political and social of the nations, adding to this the dysfunctions that are experienced within families, where most of the parents are absent and the children are being trained by third parties or in the worst case they live in what is known as the cement jungle "la calle".
I am very saddened by the fact that a person due to certain problems that triggers an emotional crisis (a normal situation that every person at any time of life goes through) is immediately labeled as "depressive" once they consult the health professional, and The saddest thing is that people allow that label to remain as a seal on their lives, as a brand they never want to erase; Of course, in some cases it is easier to adhere to this stamp of depression because it is a way to justify the mistakes that are made and to argue the stagnation to which they are usually subjected when they lose the sense of responsibility they have as existing beings .
I know many cases in which people attribute to depression the fact of not working, of not assuming their responsibilities and the roles that correspond to them, lose hope and stop dreaming, assume a condition of disability that only exists in their minds ; in other cases, they are all the time trying to get people to submit to their lifestyle, to the mistreatment and manipulation they exert on those they love the most and do not realize that with their attitude all they do is to unleash and perpetuate in the home is problematic, which in not all cases is a disease but a conformist and nullifying lifestyle, a curse. It is as if once you put the label you will also draw a line that says "forbidden to continue", it is a limit that prevents people from continuing with their goals and their lives, then their purpose changes, they devote themselves to embitter their lives and over there right to embitter the lives of the people who are around.
The intent of this article is not to undermine the work of health professionals, let alone deny the problem of depression; however, it is important to find the difference between being sick and being labeled with an illness or situation; In addition, it is necessary to find effective solutions that completely eliminate this lifestyle that many of today are assuming, that more than a lifestyle, it is a strength that Satan has established in society to prevent people from achieving their goals. and especially the freedom from their oppressions; and how to understand it, only God can give us the revelation and that freedom that we need so much. Do not allow then that there is room for reasoning in this case, because otherwise you will not understand what I am trying to explain, the reason is a hindrance to the faith and the supernatural power of God. "He who is not spiritual does not accept the things that are of the Spirit of God, because for him they are nonsense. And he can not understand them either, because they are things that have to be judged spiritually. " 1 Corinthians 2:14 (God Speaks Today)
If we return to the definition of depression, we see that scientifically it is defined as "oppression" and that is precisely what the enemy does through his principalities and powers (demons), oppress people with thoughts, emotions, feelings and negative situations to to tear them down and discourage them, to limit them.
"Practice self-control and stay alert. His enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. " 1 Peter 5: 8 (New International Version).
The enemy only comes to steal, kill and destroy; but Jesus has come that we may have life and have it in abundance and in all aspects of our life, not only in the economic area. (John 10:10) We are not going to assume now, that the devil has the fault then and not the depression or the problem he is going through. Let's not be so easy please. The idea is that we really have the discernment that we need to free ourselves from the bonds that have prevented us from achieving victory in our lives during all this time. That is, we already know that the enemy is working against us all the time, but we are the ones who allow our lives to be troubled by their tricks and lies. Friends, just as God exists, there are demons. Satan has allies working for Him, so that they can fulfill the task of oppressing any child of God who wants to stand up and take on his role as liberated, saved, victorious and triumphant, the preferred labels of God and which he wanted us to wear in the beginning. our heart.
The enemy oppresses our bodies and our mind with diseases and negative thoughts, finances with ruin and scarcity, the family with abuse and lack of love, society with violence and corruption, joy and the desire to get ahead with discouragement and depression, etc.
When we will understand that our struggle is not against flesh, but against principalities and powers, the enemy has built fortresses in this world precisely to destroy the human being because it is his main objective, he hates us and will always try to prevent us from being happy. "Because our struggle is not against human beings, but against powers, against authorities, against powers that dominate this world of darkness, against evil spiritual forces in the celestial regions. Therefore put on the whole armor of God, so that when the bad day arrives you can resist to the end with firmness ". Ephesians 6: 12-13 (New International Version).
The solution of all our problems and our diseases is not in man and much less in his inventions, no matter how scientific it is, it is obviously important to access these resources because God himself has given us the privilege of using them for our benefit; However, first of all we must first look for the main resource, the one that will reveal to us the answers and solutions we need so that the situation we are going through, impossible as it may seem, may change. That resource is the presence of God, it is the medicine or the most effective means that can exist. It is through Him that our problems begin to be solved and the best thing is that the labels He places on us are always full of hope and blessing, not of curse and stagnation.
Prayer, meditation on the word of God, the company of people full of their love, perseverance and perseverance, praise and adoration, are the most forceful weapons to overcome the oppressions of the enemy, are the most effective medicines to heal our diseases. To understand that we are not alone, that Jesus is real and alive will give us freedom forever from everything that at the moment has become an oppression.
"He certainly bore our diseases and endured our pains, but we consider him wounded, beaten by God and humiliated." Isaiah 53: 4 (New International Version).
Jesus did not die in vain, He gave His life for us on the cross and there all our needs, illnesses and anguish were nailed; believe it, aprópiate of his word, of his promises, they are life, they are alive and they are fulfilled in your life once you believe them, because for science there are limitations and according to her incurable diseases, for God there are no limits, for Him everything is possible Because He is Supernatural, only in Christ Jesus do we have freedom and healing.
"He forgives all your sins and heals all your ailments; He rescues your life from the grave and covers you with love and compassion; He fills your life with good things and rejuvenates you like eagles. " Psalm 103: 3-5 (New International Version).
The Lord is greater than any disease or difficulty, He did not give us a limited life and wants us to fully enjoy it, it is your decision to receive their promises of hope and blessing or the labels of curse and despair that the enemy wants to place you.
Start to value your life, look around how many beautiful things God created for you to enjoy, but remember: "It's not about having a lot to enjoy but enjoying everything you have."
"Tell your depression, illness or problem ... out in the name of Jesus, I decide to believe Him, I decide to receive the label of the son of God, I decide to receive it in my heart so that it is He who from this moment take control of my situation".
In everything you are more than conqueror if you cling to Jesus Christ, the decision of how you want to live is yours, as a label for the rest of your life or as liberated and filled with the love of God, it is your decision!
