5(Matthew 13: 3, 5-6 NIV)(3) Then he told them many parables, saying: A farmer went out to sow his seed. (5) Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. (6) But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.The Lord came to me in a vision and taught me how to overcome depression. The Lord said. " To break the spirit of depression; one must deepen their mind in me." I asked the Lord." How do you do that?" The Lord said. "Meditate on my word."Don't be like the seed that fell on rocky places; you must get rooted and grounded in the word of God in order to be successful to overcome depression. I have struggled with depression and dealt with suicidal thinking over the years. The Lord has taught me how to break the power of depression and now I want to teach you how to overcome it.
