Saved, Sanctified, Spirit filled, and Depressed

Have you ever found yourself in a situation as a believer that knocked the wind out of you? You never thought that it would happen to you. But it happened. After walking with God for almost two decades, the unthinkable occurred—in the year of 2003 I was diagnosed with clinical depression. Clinical depression and Christian in the same sentence?!!What? How? It’s like oxymoron. But it happened. It happened to me. Believe me, depression knows no boundaries—saint or sinner. However, after applying the practical truth of God’s Word, I won the victory. In my book I share my personal experience of my journey from despair to joy. Depression knows no boundaries, but neither does the applied Word of God.
