I know we are in the end times and all of these things will come to pass. However, I think I am still stuck in the “depression” stage and can’t get myself to acceptance. I don’t understand why I was born in this place and time if there is nothing we can do to stop this.

I’ve FELT in a similar place from time to time.
However, I think there’s Biblical grounds for understanding that many of the great saints of the past would have loved to have been born in this ULTIMATE GRADUATION ERA when all things are brought to a GRAND FINALE.
I don’t think it’s a sentence for bad behavior. I believe WE HAVE BEEN BORN FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS TO DO GREAT EXPLOITS FOR THE KING . . . and to receive rewards accordingly.
TO THE OVERCOMER THE CROWN ETC.
And we can only do so IN HIS STRENGTH, POWER, SPIRIT, BLOOD, WORD.
Which is a great message HE REALLY wants all Creation to “GET.”
I just know HE DOES ALL THINGS WELL.
I know He has to fix me and conform me to His image as I can’t do that myself.
I just know that He seeks good things for me and has good things in store for me as I choose Him and His ways.
I just know that neither death nor life nor things seen nor unseen nor principalities nor powers nor anything can separate me from HIS LOVE, His steadfast care etc.
I just know that the sufferings of this life are unworthy to be compared to the glories of the next.
I just know that our attitude is to be like the 200 lb canary toward the kitty . . .
HERE KITTY, KITTY, KITTY!
I know that when the enemy comes in like a flood, God WILL RAISE UP A STANDARD AGAINST HIM.
I know that God has many more surprises in store for the enemy than the enemy has in store for Believers.
I know that God really CAN AND REALLY DOES work all thing together for good to those who Love Him and are called according to His purposes etc.
Given that we ARE on the winning side . . . and that OUR DADDY IS GOD ALMIGHTY . . . we NEED NOT fear, nor feel down.
Getting there is not always as easy as falling off a log for some of us with less than ideal backgrounds.
However, we can immerse ourselves in His Word and worship music and focus on HIM.
He will keep all of us in HIS perfect PEACE when we stay focused on HIM.
We are engaged in a spiritual battle and God will prevail. Our job is to revere God and eschew evil, and having done all you can, to stand. And look up, our salvation is nigh.
Do you know Christ as your Savior?
My suggestion, for those experiencing depression regarding the looming challenges, is to read
THE FINAL QUEST
by Rick Joyner,
which is available online at
http://99.198.110.36/FQ-Protestant/TFQ-en.html
You may get to the link for the Joyner book, (BTW, it’s a free online version), by going to
and scrolling down past links for Baptized by Blazing Fire, 23 Minutes in Hell, Join the Media Army, and Heaven is So Real, to the next section, THE FINAL QUEST and THE CALL both by Rick Joyner.
I offer this to you because it has served me well as a framework by which I may view the stage Creation is in currently, how believers fit in, and WHAT EACH BELIEVER CAN DO to not only survive but to thrive and to bear good fruit during this season; The Final Quest has been the MOST helpful source for me as I face the gross darkness and the difficulties that are imminent.
Note, at the site, there are also mp3 versions available.
