"Having done all. . . Stand."
Ephesians 6:17-18
A Christian who stays in depresssion is a contradiction of terms.
God said, "I have come to give you life, and give it to you abundantly."
If we believe the Word of God, then we ought to be able to come through our
depression and live a victorious life. I've been trying to give you
counsel fromthe Word of God, and now I'd like to end this series with the

Word, the Holy Spirit is the Word. Everything in the Bible is God's Word to us.
The second word means, "For Specific Occasions." Certain things that
come out of the Word of God minister to our needs on special occasions. Are
you facing fear? You can quote from God's Word, "For God has not given
us a spirit ...
