0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, are you feeling down or depressed?
0:07.1	Do you have too much anxiety and worry?
0:09.9	Do you feel like sometimes there's a war going on in your head?
0:15.9	Even a war between good and evil.
0:17.8	If you do, what's causing that?
0:23.7	Well, in our secular culture, we want to say that everything is physical because in our culture, we think that human beings are merely
0:28.0	material. That's why we'll use medical language rather than moral language if you're dealing
0:34.1	with a problem like this. You know, the reason you're feeling down is because you have a chemical imbalance.

1:17.0	psychological. You need right thinking. You need to correct bad thinking. And you need to meditate on
1:22.9	what is good as Paul talks about in Philippians 4. The third possible cause of your mental anguish or
1:29.0	depression could be that it could be moral because you feel guilt because you really are guilty.
1:35.5	And in that case, you need to change your behavior. You need to repent. You need to seek
1:39.4	forgiveness and reconciliation with God and with others. The fourth possible cause is that you're experiencing some sort of demonic activity.
1:52.5	Demonic activity?
