Hi Everyone!
gmik:
Welcome Andrevan,
I loved reading your post. I will be praying for your wife as I have had clinical depression. God's light has a way of dragging you out of the "grayness".
God Blessyou both. Enjoy the fellowship here.

Welcome to the forum my friend. The freedom that God has so graciously given us from that fear and has revealed to us His love for all is wonderful.
I too was always depressed and ever trying to please Him all by myself and the failure at that attempt. I always saw God as angry with me if I stepped out of christiandom line and that was absolutely horrorable.
Thank God he has brought you to us all here.
Thank you very much for sharing your testimony with us.
love to you and your family,
bobby(bob)

Hi Andrevan
....as I read your post that your wife's faith was suffering, I felt joy because for me that means God is dragging her out of Mystery Babylon...TO HIS SPIRIT OF TRUTH AND LOVE.
I believe many men and women suffer from repressed anger, fear, confusion, painful memories and frustration that can often become undiagnosed clinical depression. I do not think most conditions that can be identified as clinical depression even rise to the surface to be detected or addressed clinically. Those that do I believe are only the tip of the iceberg.
I was treated ten years for clincal depression. I know first hand just how deep into the darkness of hopelessness one can plumet and with the helping hand of false teachings, and indoctrination pushing despair deeper, it is a miracle to be free for anyone living in this dark age of spiritual idolitory and rank heresy. God wants us to know what is evil and what is good so we can be like Him. I think the evil of depression is one way we experience what evil does and for me it came close to never knowing what goodness was. God decided to rescue me and give mercy to me. I believe He has done the same for you and your family.
We can be awe struck that God has touched our lives with His love and teachings that we do not merit and can never repay. This awe is enough to melt any depression... :) Welcome! :D...and the Truth will set you free......! ;D

Thank you everyone for your kind words and warm welcome.
It is taking time to undo all that I've been led to believe over the years, and I feel like I'm on the brink of a whole new journey with God. I've already found many of the posts on this forum of great help to me. At the moment I'm still attending a church, what keeps me attending every couple of Sundays a month is that many of God's called people are there, although I've already faced some hostility towards my view of speaking in "tongues", tithing and the doctrine of hell. I guess in the back of my mind I know that eventually i will no longer be welcome by most.
Again, thanks for the responses.
God bless, and love to you all,
Andrevan.

I think you are correct......
Persecution is part of the dragging process as I have been experiencing it.....and it shows Christs calling away from human approval towards right standing with God.......Human approval is so fickle anyway!....built on sand if you know what I mean :D
God bless you
Arcturus...... :)
