**Creed of the Unbeatable Man**
When the world would beat me down, when the adversary comes against me, when the darkness seems overwhelming\u2026 when the mantle of mediocrity settles on my shoulders and seeks to weigh me down, when the grey and rainy skies won\u2019t relent\u2026 when the arrows pierce my armor, the bloodshed seems like a tide, and the odds seem overwhelmingly stacked against me\u2026 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\u2026 that healed the sick, cleansed the lepers, caused demons to flee, and set right everything that has ever gone wrong or ever will\u2026 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\u2019s 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\u2026 redeemed, restored, renewed, raised to life\u2026 victorious, powerful, rich, healed, saved, delivered\u2026 growing in wisdom and favor with men and with God\u2026 an heir to the promises of Abraham and his descendants\u2026 a son and a friend of God\u2026
Through the finished work of the cross, I am protected, favored, loved, and approved\u2026 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 \u201cgates\u201d up, or are you like a city with its walls broken down? If you\u2019ve gotten off the path (no condemnation, just illuminate and recalibrate), remember\u2026
Ray\u2019s 9-Step Anti-Depression Recipe
1. Prayer daily, as a conversation with God.
2. Practice the awareness of God\u2019s 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.\xa0 Vigorous Exercise 6 days per week (while listening to powerful, positive UPBEAT worship music \u2013 ie, no \u201cI\u2019ve written an ode to my problems\u201d 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.\xa0 Supplementation (especially Vitamin D and B-Complex)
9.\xa0 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\u2019s time to bring in more help (Pastor, Emotion Code RTF, Sozo, Psych, etc).
