WWW: Tell us a little bit of how The Power of
His Presence has sustained you during the
dark valleys in your life when you felt you
weren’t “Enough”?
AD: Since I was a little girl I suffered with
headaches and depression. Often times you
could not tell as I usually had a smile on my
face. I believe The Power of HIS presence
came in the form of family. I was blessed
with a Great Grandmother, Grandma and
mother who loved Jesus. I also had a couple
of aunts who would take my sister and me to
church when things at home were
dark. That's probably how the passion for
prayer
started.
WWW: As you know it is possible for depression to strike any one of us at any
given time during our life. What would you tell a sister who is battling with
depression?
AD: I would say that is the biggest lie in HELL. Isaiah 41:13 says, “For I am the
Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not
fear; I will help you.” You see depression is more than tears; depression is
the voices in your head, the shame you feel, the sense of failure, suicidal
thoughts, etc. Depression never comes alone; it always brings its “cousins”
with them; “Death” and “Thief”. However, nothing can stand against
God’s promises. When we are in a dark place that is the perfect time to
believe by FAITH, because it is in that moment when you call out to Jesus
Christ that He will move all HEAVEN for you.
Depression wants to make home in the body of Christ. Some of us have
lived with this dark blanket over us for too long. Sister, you gotta tell
depression, “In the name of Jesus, you must go”. Read Bible Scriptures out
loud and declare HE is in you, with you and for you. Tell someone that you
are depressed and ask for help. Get that Army activated and as they
stand in agreement in the name of Jesus, your world will change. Do not
fear but instead hold on to His hand – YOU ARE ENOUGH!
