Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

One time I read an article about a fellow who was attacking one of the renowned men of God in this country for saying that depression is demonic. The fellow couldn’t figure out that depression is a demonic thing. Well, that’s ignorance gone to sea.

Depression is demonic. That’s what the Bible teaches. Psychology will say depression is an emotional problem; scripture calls it the “spirit of heaviness”. Isaiah 61:3 says, To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;...... The NIV translation calls it “the spirit of despair”.

So while Psychology is saying depression is an emotional thing, scripture says, it is a spirit. You have to believe what the scripture is saying than what Psychology or any professor tells you.

The first sign that Jesus gave concerning those who believe in his name is “cast out devils”. There is a reason for that. It is simply because most people’s problems are caused by demons. If you don’t know that then you are very ignorant of the scriptures. There are more demons in this world than there are human beings. This is not to scare you but to make you aware that you are engaged in a spiritual warfare, whether you believe it or not.

During the earthly ministry of Jesus, He casted out so many devils. One time when He casted a devil out from someone the fellow was able to speak and hear. This tells you that it was the demon that was hindering the fellow from speaking and hearing. Medical science will tell it is an ear and speaking problem. But the scripture says, it is a devil.

Get to know the word of God. Get wild against the enemy. When things happen, don’t look at them from the natural perspective, for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal; we wrestle not against flesh and blood. The good news is that you have more authority and power than satan. Take your authority in Christ today and deal with that devil causing problems in your life.
