Do you have a plan for Depression? I promise it has a plan for you

Whoever has no rule over his own spirit

Is like a city broken down, without walls.

Proverbs 25:28

Hello, depressed Ray. This is the true you writing to remind you what you are feeling is a LIE and you must NOT accept it.  Some things to do:

* Immediately tell Lynn and Sean I'm having a "False Identity Attack" and have them pray for me

* Take communion

* Exercise HARD

* Worship MUSIC LOUD

* Speak Gods truth out loud WITH FEELING

* Activate my prayer network

Read This Out Loud

**Creed of the Unbeatable Man**

When the world would beat me down, when the adversary comes against me, when the darkness seems overwhelming… when the mantle of mediocrity settles on my shoulders and seeks to weigh me down, when the grey and rainy skies won't relent… when the arrows pierce my armor, the bloodshed seems like a tide, and the odds seem overwhelmingly stacked against me… in these times I will remember:

There is One who is unbeatable, his name is Jesus, and I am a co-heir to his legacy.

Before the world was, he existed and in fact, made the world for his purposes.

I know that in this world I will have trouble, but I take courage because he has overcome the world.

He is never surprised, discouraged, alarmed, or afraid.

He sits at the right hand of his Father, God Almighty, and as Jesus is in heaven, so am I in this world.

In him I am free.

His Spirit, the same Spirit that raised him from the dead… that healed the sick, cleansed the lepers, caused demons to flee, and set right everything that has ever gone wrong or ever will… that same Spirit lives in me.

The Spirit of God leads me into all truth, sets me free, and reminds me that through Jesus I am 100% righteous and worthy to receive God's love.

I am a saint and not a sinner, I am the light of the world, the city on a hill, the salt of the earth… redeemed, restored, renewed, raised to life… victorious, powerful, rich, healed, saved, delivered… growing in wisdom and favor with men and with God… an heir to the promises of Abraham and his descendants… a son and a friend of God…

Through the finished work of the cross, I am protected, favored, loved, and approved… weighed and found worthy.

I am beyond the reach of sickness, death, judgment, and condemnation.

I may have trouble, but trouble never has me.

I am unpunishable, unashamed, and unafraid.

I am unbeatable.

And so are you.

Have you kept the "gates" up, or are you like a city with its walls broken down? If you've gotten off the path (no condemnation, just illuminate and recalibrate), remember…

Ray's 9-Step Anti-Depression Recipe

1. Prayer daily, as a conversation with God.

2. Practice the awareness of God's Presence

3. Journaling daily (I use Day One, and a template of questions that I answer each day. I store the template as a TextExpander snippet)

4. Read 5 Psalms and 1 chapter of Proverbs daily (in addition to normal Bible reading/study)

5.  Vigorous Exercise 6 days per week (while listening to powerful, positive UPBEAT worship music – ie, no "I've written an ode to my problems" type songs)

6. Daily declarations (speaking out loud the promises of the word, see the book above

7. Keto Diet to regulate blood sugar and neurochemistry

8.  Supplementation (especially Vitamin D and B-Complex)

9.  Tracking mood daily (use MoodTracker App)

If you have more than 3 days in a row, or 3 days out of a week, like this, it's time to bring in more help (Pastor, Emotion Code RTF, Sozo, Psych, etc).

Belief is a powerful force in the human life. What drives you to do what you do? And what causes you to do the things you don't do?

Matthew 6:34 (NIV)
Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own…

CutStory for Instagram- You can take any video you have and it turns them into 15-second clips for your Instagram Story.

Our beliefs are, in large part, not chosen by us consciously.

Quote from Ayn Rand:

As a human being, you have no choice about the fact that you need a philosophy. Your only choice is whether you define your philosophy by a conscious, rational, disciplined process of thought and scrupulously logical deliberation – or let your subconscious accumulate a junk heap of unwarranted conclusions, false generalizations, undefined contradictions, undigested slogans, unidentified wishes, doubts and fears, thrown together by chance, but integrated by your subconscious into a kind of mongrel philosophy and fused into a single, solid weight: self-doubt, like a ball and chain in the place where your mind's wings should have grown.

How do we form beliefs?
* Sensory data
* what is it?
* what does it mean?
* what should I do?

Beliefs help form
* values
* rules
* behavior
* quality of life

1. My value is in my ability to produce. (My value is in my ability to initiate production.)
2. I have to be the best if I want to lead. (Leadership is bringing out the best in others.)
3. I can't help people who have more success than me. (I want ALL the people I help to have MORE success than me.)
4. I want no employees because employees equal problems. (Employees help me multiply wealth – for me, themselves, and our clients. Everybody wins)
5. Some people have special gifts no one else can have. ("What one man can do, another man can do.")
6. The purpose of wealth is to help others. (The purpose of wealth is to show God's glory – and the"glory of God is a man fully alive".)
7. Life is hard, and then you die. (In this world we will have trouble – but Jesus has overcome the world.. so we should be encouraged.)

Start noticing your beliefs.
Start questing them.
And if they don't serve you, start changing them!

To Change any Belief

Undermine the supports
Build support for the new belief
Use the Pain/Pleasure balance
Condition the new belief

Proverbs 18:13 (NIV)

To answer before listening – that is folly and shame.

We have 2 ears and 1 mouth for a reason. Listen fully without thinking about what you are going to say next, while the other person is talking. Learn to truly listen and understand.

1. Intrinsic Value: The actual market value of the training.

2. Appreciation Value: when we highly esteem something, it APPRECIATES in value.

3. Proximity: proximity is power. Personal connection. Observe habits, beliefs, patterns, language, focus, physiology, rituals, routines, and recipes.

4. People: to meet the people the leader attracts – new friends/peers who help me up-level my standards

5. Immersion: no distraction focus on ONE THING

WARNINGS

Don't expect magical endowments

Everything worthwhile requires WORK

The training is as valuable to you as you are committed to it.

I get this question, in some form or other, at least 3 times a week. It's usually someone 50 or older, writing to me about why they can't start a business online.

It's almost like they want me to sanction their excuses,

"Am I too old?"

"Is it too late?"

"Isn't this a young person's game?"

The answer to all these questions is…

Is it possible that by thinking a different way, you could experience life in a totally different way? Can you take control of your thoughts and eradicate depression and create joy?  Today as I interview Cliff Ravenscraft, we discuss living the life of your dreams, what conferences to attend this year, and why you should stop working for God's approval.

Click here to download or listen to this episode now.

The conference you must attend this fall is the Free the Dream Conference.  This is put on by Cliff Ravenscraft and is being held September 7-9 in Franklin, Tenessee. I will be speaking at it. If you want to change your life for the better, live the life of your dreams and break free from what is holding you back, You need to be at this event!

Go to www.freethedream.live and get your tickets now.

There is nothing we can do to get into heaven. We all try to align ourselves with our creator, so we can live in his kingdom by doing things on this earth, and we do not need to do that anymore!  All we need to do is have faith in Jesus Christ. That is the only thing we need to do to enter the kingdom.

In the old covenant with God, we had to have ceremonious sacrifices in order to be cleaned in the eyes of God. When Jesus came, He removed the need for that system. The work was all done by Jesus Christ, and now we no longer have to do it. So now we are just supposed to enjoy God's approval. You are perfect just the way you are. You do not need to be something different. Just be who you are.

After being the Podcast Answer-Man, for so long, Cliff Ravenscraft decided to push that all away, and completely do something totally different. Why? Because he knew he was made to encourage, educate and inspire people and he wanted to help people live their best life. If you have hope, you have influence. Are you living the life that you are created to live? Find a mentor to motivate you and hold you accountable for your actions and your outcome. You have to shift your identity and what you are saying to yourself. Even though there are other people that teach what you may do, only you can do it and reach the people who would identify with you.

Cliff suggests reading the 'Big Leap" by Gay Hendricks. It teaches you to work within your zone of genius, where you can make the greatest impact. What will it take to get to do the things you love to do 80% of your day. What do you have to do to make that possible? Your language and what you tell yourself is so important. You have to make a decision to do what you want to do with no other possibilities or wavering.

Free the dream is for people who have a dream inside of them that says I wonder what life could be like if I do _____. It is for anyone who is on the fence and doesn't know what their dream is, and also for those who had the dream, left their day job, and are struggling to succeed because they feel sleazy trying to sell their product. Free the dream will help to ignite you and your dream and set it into motion. Go to Cliff's event!
