Victory Over Depression Begins With The Truth ~ Jesus!

~ “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32

~ Bob George
“Well, Matthew, you know, again, you’re down to that simple truth that if the premise is off, your findings are going to be off. Sure. My sister recently was put into the hospital, she was admitted into the hospital with pneumonia. She didn’t have pneumonia. And so what they the medications they gave her messed her up, she had something far more severe than pneumonia. They’ve discovered cancer. And so the issue is but somebody diagnose pneumonia and then the treatment was off why the premise was off. And so it’s the same thing. We come from a premise that number one, all feelings come from thought. We were designed that way by God. Now, a lot of times when you first expressed this to people, it is so obvious, but it is it’s life changing to grab a hold of that all of your thoughts come pray, excuse me, your feelings are designed by God to predictably to respond to whatever we’re thinking. We can sit in our home and start thinking about scary things that have happened to us in the past and sit there and experience fear. We can go to a movie knowing full well we’re in a safe place. We’re sitting in a theater and a nice seat eating their popcorn. But we begin to view with their eye gaze scary sights, and here’s scary sounds and our ears. And our emotions don’t know whether we’re sitting in the theater or whether we’re in the shower was psycho, they just don’t know. And so they’re predictably responding to whatever they’re looking at and hearing. Were designed that way. Nothing unusual about that. That’s the way God made us. If I jumped out in the middle of the night and said Boo to you and you experience what you would experience fear, and then probably after that anger and want to punch me in the nose. But where does the fear and the anger come from what you’re thinking. And so when we come down to realize that what the Bible says As a man thinks in his heart so is he has a man thinks in his heart He’s gonna feel as a man thinks in his heart and feels he’s gonna act volitionally and carry out what he’s thinking feeling. And so depression is a syndrome. It’s not a clinical depression, it isn’t clinical at all it’s thinking that has first of all started with either a false premise that misplaced dependency. Basically, a misplaced dependency starts many, many things you have these dependencies that we depend upon you depend upon money instead of God. You depend upon trying to gain popularity at the crowd instead of acceptance with Jesus. So there’s misplaced dependencies, that we have unrealistic expectations, everybody should like me, well, if everybody like Jesus, why they’re gonna like you and me. The world owes me a living. All of those kinds of things are total misplaced dependencies. And so that’s where it starts. And then when we have the insults and the injuries and rejections that we received from the world, we respond to those. And basically, it’s in the spirit of, of, of disappointment. And what degree of disappointment is in direct proportion, not to the offense, but in direct proportion to the misplaced dependency and the unrealistic expectation, which are attitudes of the heart. And so what you have to do with a person is depressed, the same thing that happened to you is to go back, and to get your mind renewed, on what truth? Where are you going to find truth, Reader’s Digest, study Freud, Blanch, Skinner, all of the Guru’s of psychological thought, none of them agree with each other. In psychology classes that I took in college, the question I’d ask is, which one of these guys are right? None of them, you just kind of take your pick? Well, that’s a real science. And so. So it comes Matthew, as you have stated from thinking, truth and letting truth set you free. And of course, Jesus said, When the truth sets you free, you’ll be free indeed. So ultimately, it’s getting people into a relationship with Christ so that their identity is in being a child of God, rather than being schizophrenic, manic depressive.”
