If you are suffering from heavy depression, it can be demonic.

The Bible reveals that a spirit of heaviness is real (Isaiah 61:3). It is believed that it seeks to oppress and depress people, making one feel despair, sadness, and hopelessness.

Regarding Christians, I have noticed that when one lives in sin, it can lead to great depression and despondency. In such circumstances, I will say that it is most likely attributed to the demons. For instance, a Christian sister contacted me in tears because she was extremely depressed and felt hopeless. She relayed to me that she was fornicating (she was the one who tempted him to do it) with her boyfriend for at least a year, smoking cigarettes, and even went to a tarot card reader for relationship advice. Things in her life, especially concerning her relationship, were falling apart. After we prayed, renouncing her sins, I prayed for deliverance for her. Sure enough, several evil spirits manifested and left via vomiting.

Living righteously can be protection from such an attack.

If you are suffering from depression or heaviness, even if you don’t think it’s demonic, you may want to say the following prayer.

Prayer Against Depression

Father God, please come to my rescue. Deliver me from all the anxiety and depression that is inflicting me. Take this heavy weight off my soul and spirit. Please lift and remove the darkness over me. Turn my downcast into gladness. Have my head lifted. Give me the encouragement to face the world.

Father, have me put my hope in You from this day forward. My eyes will be on You and Your mighty power. Your praise will be on my lips, and I will remember that You are my Savior.

It reads in Your word: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). I ask for the peace that You say that You will give according to Your word. It reads that “the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7).
