1
I recently received a note from someone who had been suffering from anxiety for many years
2
and nothing seemed to help or work but then she tried some deliverance sessions
3
and after a number of these sessions her anxiety completely lifted
4
and this reminds me and should remind all of us
5
that first of course we should try normal healing methods
6
but sometimes actually some depressions and some anxieties can have a real spiritual,
7
preternatural, demonic root to it, which makes sense.
8
Satan tries to destroy your self -esteem, tell you're awful, make you feel bad, drag you down into a depressive state.
9
He wants to instill you with fear and anxiety, and that's what Satan does.
10
He tries to tear us down.
11
Jesus, on the other hand, gives us his peace.
12
He wants to know that we are loved
13
and trust in him relax in his joy and peace
14
so let's pray now for a lifting of any depression
15
and anxiety and perhaps do it again and again and
16
that jesus healing might might come to you
17

the evil spirits of depression and anxiety

I renounce them I reject them I rebuke them
21
in jesus name i cast them out in his holy name
22
i cast them out once more in the holy name of jesus
23
i renounce i reject and i rebuke the evil spirits of depression and anxiety and in jesus name i cast them out.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
