Depressed?

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] Matthew 11:28

But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness, Galatians 5:22

There seems to be an awful lot of people that I know who are depressed; these are people with good jobs, wealth, health, good marriages, and people who have great families. Relax! If you are feeling depressed you are not alone at all. It doesn’t mean that you aren’t saved or that you have sinned. It also doesn't mean that our Father has forsaken you. Actually what you’re feeling is our Father at work within you. You heard me right, it is our Father at work within you. It has to be Him, because our Father never leaves us or forsakes us and greater is He that is us than he that is in this world, 1 John 4:4. What so many are feeling is our Father causing them to hate the things of this world. He is growing in us a spirit that will bring us completely out of what the Book of Revelation calls Babylon, which is the worlds corrupt system. You have to hate something to truly come out of it and never look back! This is what this feeling of depression is causing us to do. There is no peace in worldliness and most of us depend and trust in the world. 

I then heard another voice from heaven saying, Come out from her, my people, so that you may not share in her sins, neither participate in her plagues. Revelation 18:4

I truly believe that the depression that is being felt by so many is actually our Father changing our attitudes towards this world. I do not believe that we are in the end times quit yet, which is the last 3 1/2 years of this earth. But I do believe that we are being prepared to usher in the end times. To do this we have to totally be separated from worldliness. We have to come out from relying on money, food, pensions, insurance, doctors, medicines, and clothes for survival. Our Father is allowing us to actually get depressed when we think of these earthly things, whether we have them or not.

Our Father is taking us to the exact same place that Jesus was when He was here on the earth as a man. We are being groomed by the Holy Spirit to supply food when we have no food, Matthew 24:44-45. To give when we have nothing to give. To take us to this place of miraculous service, our Father has to cause us to hate the world and all that it has. So the depression that so many are feeling is actually leading them to lose all faith and trust in the world. This is a good thing. Because it will lead us to placing all of our trust and hope in our Father and then we can truly serve those who are in the world.
