Encouragement

When Paul and Silas were in jail, they refused to look at their circumstances. They didn't complain about their backs hurting. When they were in trouble and everything was against them, they began to praise God, and the chains fell off! They praised God and the circumstances changed!

You may be feeling depressed. Start praising God!
You may be in lack. Start praising God!
You may have sickness in your body. Start praising God!
No matter what circumstances come against you, Start praising GOD!

The circumstances will change, the chains will fall off, and God will fix everything. You will feel joy, no longer be in lack, you will be healed.

Now, we don't praise God for the circumstances, but we praise God for the answer. He has them all. When we praise God for His goodness, and thank Him for the answer, the way out of the mess that we are in. When we do this, the circumstances are required to change, because you spoke the very same words that God spoke, and Jesus showed us that speaking the words that God spoke changes circumstances. Every word Jesus spoke changed things, because He said that He only spoke what He heard His Father speak.

We speak the words God spoke in faith, believing that those words shall come to pass, and we praise God, and we change the circumstances around us.

So, when you feel depressed, Praise God, and say, "I have the joy of the Lord." Don't be moved if nothing changes right away. You keep holding fast to your confession, and do not change it. You do not confess depression, you confess the joy of the Lord. Continually confess God's word, always keep it coming out of your mouth, and watch the depression change. You can do this in every area of your life.

Put this into action. Praise God that His word is true. Glorify Him. God's word will not return void. His words are full of power. Speak His words, and change your circumstances.
