#64Develope Friendships _ _ _ _ And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching (Heb. 10:24,25). -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The depressed person wants to withdraw from people and often does. The more he withdraws, the more depressed he gets, and the more depressed he becomes, the more he withdraws, and so the cycle goes. God desires that we do not forsake "the assembling of ourselves together." We need eachother. We need to exhort each other. The depressed person must forse himself to communicate on an intense personal level with godly friends if he wants to recover.
#63. Develop Friendships _ _ _ _ Nevertheless God, that comforts those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus (II Cor. 7:6). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -One way God often chooses to help us when we are feeling down is to bring a Christian friend to us. The apostle Paul was discouraged until Titus came to comfort him.
#62. Develop Friendships _ _ _ _ Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall. the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falls; for he has not another to help him up(Eccles. 4:9, 10). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Friends offer protection against depression. If we are alone in our battles, it is not a matter of if we fall but only when. God desires that we have a strong support system. Then we can lift each other up when we fall.
#61. Develop Friendships _ _ _ _ _ Iron sherpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend (Prov. 27:17). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Research reveals that a majority of individuals who become significantly depressed feel they have no one with whom they are close. Developing a close friendship can be a first step toward becoming well. Close friends will love you enough to confront you when your behavior or motives are improper.
Km, i would hate to say i told ya so, but here it goes........ I TOLD YOU SO! hahahahahahaha.
NVE Corp. (NVEC) shares gained more than 8 percent after the company said it has received a patent related to the use of a spintronic structure technology in sensors that reduces hysteresis, which causes errors and signal loss, in certain kinds of sensors.
#60. Develop Friendships _ _ _ _ _ A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity (Prov. 17:17). - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mental health is important to all people. In order to maintain one's mental health, it is necessary to have a sense of being valued by others. Friendships are one of the key ways in which people learn to value others and experience being valued. That is why God encourages us to "love one another."
#59 Draw Close to Your Mate _ _ _ _ Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord (Prov. 18:22). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -The greatest encouragement in life can be one's mate. The mate listens, accepts, and can help to counteract the sense of failure, the social withdrawal, and the poor self-image that the depressive feels.
# 58 Learn from Others Who Have Been Depressed _ _ _ _ There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it (I Cor. 10:13). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Many who have experienced depression state that they have been greatly help by finding other Christians who have also suffered from depression. They came to realize the depression is "common to man" - even Christians. God has provided a way to escape depression, as well as ways to escape all temptations to sin. Passive Christians frequently fool themselves into thinking they cannot give up a sin or bad habit which leads to depression. This verse proves that they really can if they want to, by using God's way of escape. Whenever a Christian finds himself using the word "can't" he should stop and change it to "won't" instead. Then he will see the real truth.
# 57 Learn from Others Who Have Been Depressed _ _ _ _ This I recall to my mind; therfore have I hope. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions do not fail (Lam. 3:21'22). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Jeremiah, wo penned the book of Lamentations, has been called the weeping prophet. He knew what it was like to feel depressed. He found hope when he came to realize the compassion and faithfulness of God.
# 56 Learn from Others Who Have Been Depressed _ _ _ _ He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters (Ps 18:16). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -In depression the individual oftens sees no way out and no hope for the future. God helped King David to have victory over many depressing circumstances. He can help us today to have victory over circumstances and problems.
#55 Avoid sin _ _ _ _ Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boostful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world (I john 2:15, 16, NASB). -..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-.. The person who is depressed should ask himself what he is doing to make himself depressed. He may discover that he is living a life-style that is clearly against God. If that is the case, then he needs to stop doing those things, and ask God to forgive him for his past actions and attitudes. All humans have infeeriority feelings, and we tend to compensate for these feelings by yielding to the lust of the flesh (e.g., sexual sins), lust of the eyes (e.g., buying everything in site), or the pride of life (power struggles or status-seeking behavior). God wants us to accept the fact that in Him we find our own worth, and to quit using these foolish, immature, sinful, and worldly behavior patterns to compensate for false feelings of inferiority. They can result only in an ultimate lowering of self esteem and an increased rate of depression.
#54 Avoid sin _ _ _ _ Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshhly lusts, which war against the soul (I Peter 2:11). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sin has a destructive effect upon the mind, emotions, and will of man. It erodes relationships and generates insecurities which can lead to severe depression and various other psychological problems. Guilt is one form of anger - anger at the self. Pent-up anger is the root cause of the vast majority of severe depressions. Repenting from a specific sin is frequently the mojor turning point in getting over a guilt-induced depression
#53 Avoid sin _ _ _ _ By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of pharaohs daughter; Choosing rather to suffer the affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reprouch of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward (Heb. 11: 24-26). -.--.-..-.--.-..-.--.-..-.--.-..-.--.-..-.--.-..-.--.-..-.--.-..-.--.. When individuals are depressed, they may turn to various sins for relief. Little do they realize that thier depression will usually be intensified by the resulting guilt. Moses had perspective. He knew there was pleasure in sin, and he also knew the pleasure lasted only for a season.
#52 Resist the Devil ______ Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist th devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleans your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts you double minded (James 4:7, 8). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Christians cannot be demon-possessed, since God, who is in us, is stronger than the devil, and since 1st Corinthians 10:13 promises that God always provides for the Christian a way to escape all temptations. However, the devil loves to harass Christians. In James 4:7, 8, God promises that merely resisting the devil will result in him fleeing from us. Many Christians love to blame the devil for thier own irresponsible behavior. This temporarily relieves some of thier guilt feelings. As Christians, however, we must instead resist the devil and draw near to God. The devil will flee and God will quickly draw nigh to us.
#51 Be Aware of the Techniques of Satan ___________ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the whiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Eph. 6:10-12). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The devil has many schemes to trip up Christians. We wrestle against evil spiritual forces. I believe one of the major means used by these evil forces on serious Christians is depression. God encourages us to stand firm against these evil forces by putting on the full armor of God - truth (including the truth about ourselves), righteousness (right behavior), the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, the Word of God, and prayer.
HAPPY EASTER ALL!
watching it closely, thanks
#50 Be Aware of the Techniques of Satan ___________ Simon. Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; but i have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers (Luke 22:31,32, NASB). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------Satan does desire to have us and render us ineffective by whatever means he can. Of course, depression is an excellent way to render a christian ineffective. Notice what Christ said. He said that He would protect Peter. Christ encouraged Peter once he "turned again" to help his brothers.
#49 Be Assured God Will Answer You___________ Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on earth for a span of three years and six months (james 5:13). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are (including depression - see I Kings 19:4), and yet God honored his prayers. When we are depressed, we feel so worthless that we think God will not honor our prayers; yet He says He will!
#48 Be Assured God Will Answer You_______He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him (Ps. 91:15). -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today, God answer our prayers just as He did those of our forefathers years ago. He is with us in trouble. He will deliver us from our emotional pain.
#47 Express Your Problems to God _______ Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thankgiving let your requests be made known to God (Phil. 4:6, NASB). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------One way to conquer anxiety is through prayer. God desires that we express our problems and needs to Him. We should thank Him for everything, including our occasional sufferings, trusting that He will use all our experience as a means for our edification. =====================================================================Man this has got to be My favorite yet! =o)
#46 Express Your Problems to God _______ And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not faint (Luke 18:1). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------When we are feeling discouraged and about to "faint" God desires that we talk with Him about the situation. This prayer does two things. First, it gets the problem out from inside of us where it would cause depressive feelings. Second, it calls upon God who has supernatural power to deal with the problem.
#45 Express Your Problems to God _______ Evening and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice (Ps. 55:17). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------One of the most powerful techniques in psychotherapy is the simple tool of letting the client ventilate. If the ventilation of feelings helps in psychotherapy, how much more does it help to ventilate to God who has supernatural power to chane the situation. David cried aloud to God and God heard him.
#44 Be Bold to Call on God ____ And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that you thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested (IChron. 4:10).------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jabez called upon God. He was bold. He asked God to bless him and to keep him from evil (harm). God "granted him that which he requested." Do we dare be as bold as Jabez was? Why not? God certainly seemed pleased with Jabez.
#43 __ Fill Inner Emptiness with the Joys of Gods Word _______ And they said one to another, Did not our hearts burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the sciptures? (Luke 24:32). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Scriptures are alive. If we regard the Bible as more than just a book to be studied, we will begin to really enjoy it and allow it to encourage us. It can "burn within" our hearts as it brings about healing.
#42 Fill Inner Emptiness with the Joys of Gods Word _______ Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of host (Jer. 15:16). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Word of God can literally give us joy that will help to counteract depression. Meditation on Scripture will result in a rejoicing heart.
#41 Fill Inner Emptiness with the Joys of Gods Word _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever (Isa. 40:*, NASB). ------------------------------------------------------------=o)---------------------------------------------------------------------The depressed person feels an emptiness inside. God desires to fill that emptiness with His Word. His Word will "stand forever."

5G Wireless Solutions to Leverage Campus Wi-Fi Expertise at California State University
5G Wireless Communications, Inc. (OTCBB:FGWC)...
Cal State University Long Beach (CSULB) Case to Be Presented to 22 Other Csu Campuses at Invitation-Only Industry Event
5G Wireless Solutions, Inc. an emerging leader in the wireless broadband industry and a wholly-owned subsidiary of 5G Wireless Communications, Inc. (OTCBB:FGWC), today reported that it will be sponsoring and speaking at the annual Community of Academic Technology Staff (CATS) Conference being held in Sacramento, CA March 23-25, 2005.
"This is a perfect opportunity to leverage our experience at one of the largest campuses in the state to a captive audience of other campuses in the Cal State system," stated Peter Mansfield, 5G Wireless Solutions VP of Marketing. "We anticipate other campuses in the system will also adopt our proven, cost effective model after hearing about CSULB."
The CSULB broadband wireless network, launched last September, will ultimately become available throughout 84 permanent buildings and outdoors over 323 acres. When completed, the network will allow students and faculty to connect to the internet with standard 802.11b/g Wi-Fi PC cards from virtually any part of the campus. One of the hallmarks of this particular installation is that 5G is able to cover the campus using only four rooftop base stations, while a competitive solution would have required in excess of 400 individual access points.
The company's high performance/low cost solution utilizes an "outside-in" approach with Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) signal penetration to provide campus-wide access without excess equipment. Lower equipment, installation and network administration costs translate to a reduced cost per sq. ft. of wireless coverage, and an overall lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
CATS is a collaborative community of IT professionals spread throughout the 23 California State University (CSU) campuses, the largest state system of higher education in the country. Its primary goal is to support its members, both individually and collectively, in increasing their knowledge, productivity, and professional effectiveness in service of their institution's academic technology goals. CATS provides organized programs, communications and technological infrastructures, resources and strategic opportunities for its members to collaborate and contribute to each other's objectives. All programs support the objectives of the CSU-wide Integrated Technology Strategy.
5G Wireless Solutions will present UCLA and CSULB case studies and capabilities to 220 IT professionals expected to attend. As a Platinum Sponsor, the company will also participate as a luncheon sponsor and exhibitor. Other sponsors at this invitation only event include Dell (NASDAQ: DELL), Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), IBM

#40 Hold Fast to God's Promises _____ Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it will be even as it was told me (Acts 27: 25). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------When the apostle Paul said these words, the ship he was on was about to sink. The crew was experiencing extreme anxiety. Sometimes we need just to be patient and hold fast to the promises of God.
#39_ Recognise the Supernatural Power of God's Word _________ Through faith we understand that the worlds are framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear (Heb. 11:3). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------God created the whole universe by His spoken word. How powerful His spoken word must be: If one traveled across the Milky Way at the speed of light, he would be 100,000 yrs old on completing the journey. And the Milky Way is only one of billions of galaxies. If God's spoken word can create a universe, then His written word can overcome depression.
#38_ Recognise the Supernatural Power of God's Word _________ For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Heb. 4:12). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Word of God is quick, powerful, and sharp. It can help an individual to overcome depression. It can help us disern which thoughts are of God and which thoughts are not. The depressed individual needs to remember that God condemns his sinful behavior but not him. God desires that the depressed individual change his negitive, self-derogatory thinking.
#37 Recognise the Supernatural Power of God's Word __________ For this cause also we thank God without ceasing, because, when you recieved the word of God which you heard from us, you recieved it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually works also in you that believe (I Thess. 2:13). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Word of God is not like the word of men. It is absolutely inerrant and supernatural. It can effectively work in us to overcome our depression.
#36. Recognize the Supernatural Power of God's Word _____ And now brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which is sanctified (Acts 20: 32). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Whenever we feel a little down, nothing can lift our mood as can the Word of God. There is something about it that lifts our mood in a supernatual way. The Word of God can actually build us up. !=0)
#35 Live by the Councels of God's Word _____ Therefore, whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock ( Matt. 7:24, 25). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Notice that in this verse the rain did descend, the floods did come, and the wind did blow; but the house did not fall. Troubles and problems will come, but by hearing and doing the Word of God we can be stable.
#34 Live by the Counsels of Gods Word _____ Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors (Ps. 119:24). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The depressed individual longs for a counselor to help him figure a way out of what he regards as a hopeless situation. Gods Word is the best counselor he can have, even though God frequently uses a "multitude of counselors" to help in time of despair.
#33 Live by the Counsel of God's Word _____ And he said to them, Set your hearts to all the words which I testify among you this day, which you shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life (Deut. 32:46,47a). -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The depressed person often despairs of life. God desires that his Word become our very life. As it does, it can help an indidual to overcome depression. God also desires that we teach His word to our children, so they as well can live the abundant life! Depression must be avoided in children as well as adults, and living by Gods principles is our chief defence.
