Depression #1 with Darrel Stott

Depression is Very Serious

Depression is like a python snake that wraps itself around you squeezing the dreams, hope and purpose of life from you and bringing you to a place where “you will give up”.

Depression wants to take you to the place of where you do not want to live but die. Why? Because God has a great plan for your future. Therefore the devil wants you to
1) Quit believing and bring fear and hopelessness on you like a dark cloud
2) Kill you physically. I am not joking.

We thank God for doctors and drugs they can give temporary relief but they are not the solution. Tonight you will learn of the solution and get the help you need! Smile I have great news for you!

I am now ministering in Europe and seeing Jesus Christ do some of the most wonderful emotional healings that I have seen anywhere in my ministry! It is thrilling!

The first city that I went to in France the leaders showed me the area on the ocean and it was so beautiful overlooking the ocean and the house were all very nice. It is a retirement area where people come after they retire in the cities. The leaders told me that a large percentage of the population are extremely depressed and fell hopeless. Then I went to five more cities and the stories were the same.

I was confused trying to figure out how people that had so much could be depressed? When I am in Latvia, Estonia, Indonesia or China I can understand how the poor people with little money and so much emotional pain and sickness can be depressed and feel hopeless but how can this happen in Europe where the people have a good standard of living.

When I went to the meeting where I knew no one I knew I had to give them good news as the great command of Jesus in Mark 16 tells us that we must find the problems of the people then give them good news. When I talked to the people I soon learned that 50% were Roman Catholic and 50% were of protestant back ground.

What Would You Tell the People?

Can I ask you a question? If you were Darrel Stott standing in front of all these depressed people what would you tell them? I was there for one night and had only one opportunity to share something with them

This is what I shared “I am very happy to be with you tonight. My name is Darrel Stott and I am a prophet of Jesus Christ and I am here to prophecy to you about your future and then demonstrate the power of Jesus Christ to you. Tonight will be one of the best nights of your life!

Tonight God will take away your fear, your hopeless and your depression. Tonight Jesus Christ will heal you and take away your poverty and bring financial improvement in your life. I want you to look at me because I am the solution to your problems. God does not live in heaven but he lives inside of me.

Where Does God live?

God the Father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit all live inside of me. And in Luke 9 Jesus told me two things: Jesus said, “Papa Darrel that is my name, I give you POWER to heal the sick and number 2, Papa Darrel I give you POWER over every demon and evil spirit in hell.

If you have invited Jesus Christ into your life as your Lord and God you are the same as me. But let me explain. Most Christians know this intellectually but they do not believe it. The reason God will give you a miracle tonight is that “FAITH” in Jesus brings your miracle into reality in your life.

My name is papa Darrel (Stott) and “I believe that tonight is your night for a miracle”. Tonight the black cloud of hopeless and depression will leave as I drive the spirits of hell out of your life. Do you understand! The Bible tells us that if you believe what Jesus says about your situation that you will experience a miracle tonight not tomorrow or a year from now!

Good things come from GOD and bad things come from the devil. Tonight you are not here by accident but God has arranged for you to be here tonight as YOU have an appointment with GOD that is going to change your life!

Are you ready for a MIRACLE! Get ready the POWER of JESUS CHRIST is going to come on you. He is here now!

Are You Depressed today? I Have the Answer!

Darrel Stott a few days ago in jungle

Are You Feeling Depressed Today?

How does one define depression?  I don’t know but I have been depressed many times.  I am an expert at being depressed.  But I don’t feel bad about it.  Why?

King David

King David in the Bible was a mighty king and a priest of God and he was pretty cool.  All the women loved him as he as handsome, a hero and a wonderful worship leader and musician.  He had a lot going for him.  When I read his life he is definitely on my hero list!  And he is someone to be admired.

But this same man went through times when those over him wanted to kill him.  Yes not just gossip about him but kill him.  They were jealous of him and despised him.  David had this favor on him because one day the preacher from the church visited his house and poured 5 liters or two gallons of oil on him.  When the preacher did this everyone knew it was a sign of God anointing or separating David apart from his old life and separating him unto go’s purposes. 

God’s Anointing

When the anointing comes on a person the blessing and favor of God comes on them.  Are you aware that you can have the same anointing of the Spirit of God come on you as David had?  I am not talking of joining a church or a religion but through intimacy with Jesus Christ that he will fill you so full of his love, peace and joy along with His power that you whole life will change.

No matter how they tried to kill him, slow him down or hinder him in any way they were never successful.  Why?  Because of the “anointing of the Holy Spirit” the Bible tells us not strategy or attack of the devil will be successful in our lives.

King David was depressed and he desired to quit!

But at times he wanted to quit and just die he was totally depressed.  At these times he would get alone with God and allow God to refresh him.

We may feel hopeless and discouraged or full of fear but nothing bad will happen to us because God is with us.  God did not adopt us as His Child in order to have us destroyed.  His plan is a good plan and a plan of success.

If I told you my story you would probably feel encouraged as my may be worse than yours.  Let me share a lesson with you that I have learned.

The number one1 thing the devil wants me to do is QUIT!

Have you ever felt like you have failed God and should quit?

Look what David did.

1.  He saw a beautiful neighbor lady having a bath who was a friend of his so he set out to have sex with her and he committed adultery.  Wow now he is not so cool.  To make matters worse she got pregnant!

2.  After having sex with his friend’s wife he decided he wanted her as his wife.  He was a Godly king and a Priest but his solution was to arrange to have her husband killed.  Now is that bad?  That is worse than bad that is downright low!

He thought he got away with it all then a prophet came and revealed everything and his life became meaningless.   

3. All he could think about was his sins.  He was totally depressed not wanting to live.

Wow now he fell on the floor crying and begging God for forgiveness and God forgave him. 

David’s life was up and down up and down.  But at the end of his life God looked and David and said “David is a man after my own heart”.  Yes so amazing that was God’s perspective.

When I look back on my life I remember all my faults and I am sure others do as well.  But what I forget is God sees me through the precious blood of Jesus.  He sees me as sinless and beautiful

In conclusion this I what I am trying to say:  Because we are so close to the second return of Jesus for His church we do not have time for depression and mind games. The devil wants us to sleep and sit around and just quit!  But we will refuse to quit no matter how low we feel.

1)   

   God loves you and forgives your sin

2)      1.  God’s intention is to bless and help you

4)      2.  His plan is to give you power so you will experience success in everything you do.

3.  Get ready for God and the angels to assist you in all things.  Get ready for good news.  

 4. Smile and make others smile.  If you feel no joy then watch one hour of Mr. Bean movie a day.

God’s plan is to refresh you, energize you and bring the power of the Holy Spirit into your daily life.  He and his power are so real.

Look at my web site and see the great things God is doing today around the world.

Living a Life of Convenience or Sacrifice?

                                                                  Darrel Stott in Jungle

Living a Life of Convenience or a Life of Sacrifice?

The word “convenient” is found one time in the Bible.  The word “sacrifice” is found numerous times in the Bible.

In most of the world people want to live a live of convenience.  Without realizing it we can easily become selfish and we set our goals for what benefits us and our family to the neglect of others and the Kingdom of God.

Convenience and Selfishness joined together as life style are direct enemies of the plan of God for your life.

The Bible tells us if we desire to be great in the Kingdom of God we must become the servants of all.  Yes we must serve others and their needs.

When God introduced Abraham to the life style of FAITH and trust in God he asked him to sacrifice the one thing that was the closest to his heart.  Yes God asked for his only son Isaac.

When the people were starving and the word came that the solution was for Jacob to give his youngest son as a sacrifice and then all would have the food they needed God was teaching them and us some basic lessons. 

We must learn to be apart of the Kingdom of God involves a life style of sacrifice for all in the Kingdom.

Paul the apostle said that we must “die daily to ourselves and our selfish desires”.  Then he says we must “crucify” or “kill” them

Look at some of what Unger’s Bible Dictionary says about the word SACRIFICE:

Convenient

Scripture Terms. The following terms are used to express the sacrificial act:

1. Something given; a gift (Gen 32:13,18,20-21; 43:11; etc.); tribute (2 Sam 8:2,6; 2 Kings 17:4); an offering to God (1 Chron 16:29; Isa 1:13), spoken especially of a bloodless offering (Heb. minha; see Meat Offering, below).

2. Something brought near, an offering as a symbol of communion or covenant between man and God (Heb. qorban).

Indeed, to sacrifice seems as natural to man as to pray; the one indicates what he feels about himself, the other what he feels about God. The one means a felt need of propitiation, the other a felt sense of dependence" (Edersheim, The Temple, p. 81).

Fundamental Idea. The fundamental idea of sacrifices may be gathered partly from their designation, partly from their nature. Sacrifices do not appear to have been instituted at first by divine command.

Why am I talking to you today about the word sacrifice?

I believe sacrifice must be emphasized to all Christian believers as part of our life style today if we are to attain the goals that God puts before us and to be successful in evangelizing the world with the Gospel of Jesus!

Great things just don’t happen!  There is a price to be paid for greatness!  Part of the price is for us all to sacrifice our personal desires and take on the desires of God!

I am so excited this year and as I look into the future to the year 2015.  I believe that the great resources of heaven have come to join with us now in this great harvest season!

Yes the worst of hell and the best of heaven are going to have a show down!  We have to have oil in our lamps being full of the Holy Spirit and be in spiritual and physical condition.  Our eyes must be on the Holy Spirit and not be imitating others success.  Lastly we must be full of FAITH and so excited over the hour we are in that God has called us to succeed!

In a time of world recession I have agreed to partner with orphanages in Africa, Orphanages in China and Nepal.  I have agreed to partner with a Bible School in China and to mentor as many as I can in the teachings of the Glory of God and intimacy with Jesus!

Convenient:

This word will damm us so we will not take long to discuss it.  Just notice that King Felix was about the most important decision in his life but he instead made a wrong discision because of this word “convenient”.

Acts 24:25

25 As Paul discoursed on righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and said, "That's enough for now! You may leave. When I find it convenient, I will send for you." (from New International Version)

I will say no more about that word!

But let me be up front with you! 

I cannot do what God has called me to do without your help.  We must be a team that works together loveing and honoring each other.  Yes I need your help, prayers and financial support.

I am expecting the most exciting thrilling years of my life in the next five years!

"Let's Stay Happy!"

Stay happy

In recent years I spend a large amount of time in Indonesia.  In the last 10 years the country has experienced large growth in Christianity.  Many pastors desire to copy the style of America or Hill song in Australia.  When they watch these countries on TV they see the professional image of excellence.

Then they come to me and say, “Papa Darrel…why are you so happy?” or “Do you know people in Indonesia call you many names?”  I asked what the names they call me are.

They smile and say, “Some call you the “Holy Spirit Bartender”, or “The Master at Being Drunk in the Holy Spirit”.  I will smile and think to myself that they could say worse.

I believe in excellence and that God uses great talent.  But when I ask myself what has brought such a great revival to Indonesia it was not a result of talent or excellence.  A young man told me this week “Papa Darrel in our church we are asked not to speak in tongues Sunday Morning and that now our service will only be one and one half hour.

I thought to myself how sad this is.  This is what happened in America in the 1980’s.  We thought if we could become user friendly with our meetings that our churches would grow.  Oh Oh did you hear what I said?

Our goal was “church growth”!  What a big mistake!

Why has such a revival come to Indonesia?

1)    -   Persecution drove the churches to fasting and prayer.  It is a country of prayer with at least six prayer mountains.  All churches fast for 30 in the month of January.  All night prayer meetings are common.

2)    -   Emphasis on hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit and obeying.

3)    -Music that welcomed the Holy Spirit

4)    -Humility and preference to others.

5)      -As a country Indonesia was one of the only countries in the world to embrace the “Toronto Revival in 1994.  They loved the joy and drunkenness in the Holy Spirit.

So now they expect me to go back to where I was for 27 yrs a traditional Pentecostal serious pastor wearing black suits and ties. 

What is my response?  “Never!!!”  I have found intimacy with Jesus and feel is love, peace and acceptance.  His voice is so kind to me.

Last week I was with my AOG interpreter who is a pastor’s wife in Jakarta.  As we stood to minister in a small church in the jungle all we did for 45 minutes was laugh!  Yes laugh.  The presence of Jesus was so strong and we all laughed.  The people were so refreshed, ministered to and healed.

Does your Bible say, “The Joy of the Lord is your strength?  Mine does..  Why change once you have found Intimacy with Jesus.

Avoid taking yourself and ministry so serious.  Lighten up and let God make you a refreshing “Drink Offering”.

Enjoy Jesus and life he has given you! 

What Is It Like to be a Missionary?

Watch Darrel Stott in Papua Indonesia

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCNIIzUDakA

I have been traveling as a missionary around the world to 17 countries for 12 years. Yes I was a pastor for many years and I enjoyed it but really it was all preparation for what I do now.

Why is my job description?

How Do I Travel

I am called to be a Prophet to the nations and demonstrate the power of Jesus Christ bringing hope and solutions to those in need! Europe I travel 12- 14 hrs on long flights in coach class.  A number of years ago I had bypass surgery on my heart.  They took veins from my legs to put in my heart.  This creates a problem for me on long flights as my foot and leg swell up.  So I have to move around much on these flights.

Airplanes, boats and helicopters

In Indonesia where I spend much time all of the airlines are declared "unsafe" by the wes standards.

I travel in fast power boats up the rivers of the jungle in Kalimantan, or at other times very slow boats going between small islands trying to hide from the scorching sun.  Thank God now there are times I travel in a helicopter into the jungle.

Four Wheel Drive

Various times I travel 11 hours on roads so rough we use a 4 wheel drive.

Accommodations:

I sleep on the floor of airports, hotels in the cities and on the floor or mats in remote areas

Food

I experience great variety.  In Indonesia it is usually fish, chicken and vegetables with rice or Chinese food.  In the cities it is very good.  Outside can be difficult at times.

Meetings

In the cities we have large churches of up to 20,000 at a time to outside crusades in remote jungle of 200 people.  With the crusades we take all our equipment with us.  We also take power generator for the instruments and lights.  But remember one light will draw 100 fly bugs!  In other countries I meet in secret with the Christians as they have no religious freedom.

My reward for what I do:

Obviously is not money or comfort.  My reward is always to see sad people smile!  

This is the best and gives me energy!  And secondly to put a smile on Jesus as He watches me.

Money:

I do not enjoy fund raising or asking for money.

 I would just like to keep ministering but I have to pray and tell people what I do and ask God to talk to them as air travel and things are so expensive.

Thank you for your love, financial giving and prayers!

"Sacrifice is Pleasing to God"

In the plan of God he loves it when we are called to sacrifice. It is not pleasant to us though. I remember when I first met Pastor Petrus Agung many years ago in the city of Semarang Indonesia. He told me he would not take a love offering for me because he wanted it to cost him financially when I preached for him. He paid the highest honorarium of any church in Indonesia.



When was the last time you gave financially what you could not afford in the missions offering? The lady who put the perfume on Jesus gave a year’s salary as her love offering to him. Do we give what is convenient or at times do we sacrifice. I think most of you would say it is a sacrifice to give what you give.



It is so pleasing to God when you example is an example for others to imitate. When Jesus left heaven to come to earth it cost him everything. We should expect that we will have to deny ourselves some of the luxuries of life to carry out the bidding of Jesus.



A young pastor’s daughter came to him and said, “Daddy I want to put all the money in my piggy bank in the church missionary offering”. He asked if she was sure and she said she was. Then she said that she knew her mom and dad wanted to someday go to Australia but they never had enough money. But she believed by her sowing all her money that God would provide a trip for them to Australia. She had saved for a long time and it hurt the parents to watch her give it all to Jesus. But soon a man in the church came with tickets for the entire family to go to Australia. The little girl sewed and they reaped.



Many times I have been leaving meetings in some remote part of the world and a person will walk up to me and say, “Papa Darrel please thank the people who gave financially so you could come to us”.



Listen to the small voice of God and He will speak to you. Obey when he speaks.
