They Shall Expel Demons - Chapter 4 - My Struggle With Depression

I was reading the opening verses of Isaiah 61, which describe the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit in bearing testimony to the message of the Gospel—verses Jesus applied to Himself in the synagogue in Nazareth (see Luke 4:16–21). As I came to the words in verse 3, “the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness” (KJV, emphasis added)—also called “a spirit of despair” (NIV) and “a spirit of fainting” (NASB)—I could read no further. It was as though the phrase the spirit of heaviness was underlined by some invisible hand. Prince, Derek. They Shall Expel Demons: What You Need to Know about Demons--Your Invisible Enemies (p. 32).
