What is the Spirit of Heaviness
Isaiah 61:1-3 "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified."

It brings a heavy, oppressive feeling. It quenches our faith.
It may come over many at once, like a plague. It can be like a cloud, hanging over you or even a place.
It causes us to isolate, it steals our love, makes us feel alone steal our purpose, and shuts us down.

Depression or "heaviness" is a "spirit." When we are unaware of the devil's schemes and the way to fight them, the result can be "a spirit of heaviness" that can paralyze us emotionally and steal our purpose and calling by shutting us down. How does he do that? Did you have dreams or goals that were unfulfilled? Many times the enemy comes to accuse or point out that God has failed us. That is a lie from the pit of hell, but that is how the demonic spirits - accuse God.
Or maybe you've had a loss suddenly from a loved one you cared about and are stuff in ungodly sorrow and grief? There is a time to grieve, but there is a time to get past the grief. If you are still grieving and dealing with a spirit of heaviness or oppression for over a year, then you are dealing with a Spirit of Heaviness.
The answer for a "spirit of heaviness" is the "garment of praise." Satan hates praise. Praise exalts Jesus no matter what the situation or circumstances are. It is putting our trust in him and, through praise activates our faith to trust in him regardless of what the circumstances look like at the moment. You see, praise ushers in light and life into our circumstances. It is the ultimate act of faith.
2 Corinthians 3:17 "The Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."
Galatians 5:1 " Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage."
John 8:36 " Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed."
Only through Christ Jesus of Nazareth is their freedom in Him. He came to heal the brokenhearted from pain, deep sorrows, loss, grief, depression, unhappiness, discontentment, etc. Jesus experienced all these emotions, especially rejection from his people. He came to give us life and he was rejected for our transgressions.
Discontentment is rooted in Envy and Jealousy of others. You are looking at what others have and not able to focus on what God has given you and the enemy is robbing you of joy and peace in Him.
Jesus chose the path of being human to experience all of the human emotions in life so that he can relate to us and as his word says, do intercession for us.
Hebrews 7:25 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
We do have an adversary - the devil and his demons and in every situation in our lives, Satan seeks to discredit God and get our eyes off Him. One of the surest signs that he has succeeded is a lack of praise and joy in our lives. Praise is so critical foundation in our lives that keeps the devil from oppressing and deceiving us. Praise is also a powerful force that repels a spirit of heaviness from our presence (Psalm 149:6) and ushers us into the presence of God (Psalms 22:3 and 100:4)
In learning to overcome depression, we not only need to realize the devil's desire to assault us with a "spirit of heaviness," but we must also realize how important our confession is in defeating him. The words we speak with our mouths are very important. If our words are filled with discouragement and darkness, we have paved the way for forces of darkness to either begin or continue to oppress us. However, if our words are filled with hope, faith, and praise for God, we have opened the door for God to flood our lives with His light and power.
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit." Proverbs 18:21
Jesus said, "But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give an account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words, you will be condemned." Matthew 12:36-37
Through prayer and proclamations of truth and praise, we have complete authority over every spirit of darkness and over the Spirit of Heaviness and Oppression. Don't let or allow the devil or his demons to harass you regardless of how you feel. Stand up and praise the Lord even when you don't feel like it. Find something to be thankful for. Thankfulness is another form of praise Giving God Praise and Glory in the midst of our situations or circumstances. It helps you keep your eyes on God and not on the world and helps you be content when the enemy wants you to become discontent in the things of God and make you believe God is not really for you. Sounds familiar! Didn't he do this to Eve?
You see praising the Lord and confessing the truth of His Word is a powerful way to defeat the spirit of heaviness as well as lift off that spirit of the heaviness of your life. If you've been in heaviness and grief or sorry for a while, then it is a constant battle to get that spirit of heaviness off. It is a continual choice to continually praise and give thanksgiving to the Father.
To get someone free from a spirit of heaviness and oppression, you must first break the power of occult ic spirits and then the spirits of heaviness and oppression. Find out if they have been involved with occultic type stuff and/or their family has participated with Freemasonry, Mormonism, Catholic church, etc. Then after they get delivered, have them listen to worship and praise and keep the garment of praise on them.
Overcoming the Spirit of Heaviness
Recognize it. This is not you, you are a child of God. This is not God's will for you. Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Don't believe anything negative you think under its influence. Accept no criticism of yourself or others. 2 Corinthians 10:5 We destroy arguments and every proud obstacle to the knowledge of God and take every thought captive to obey Christ, which means discern where your thoughts are coming from.
Repent and renounce for participating with a Spirit of Heaviness. 1 Corinthians 10:5 says to cast down all vain imaginations and that means anything that does not line up with the Word of God.
Put on the Garment of Praise (Is 61:3) This literally means to be "Wrapped Up In Praise" God has given it to you to put on. Take action including adoration, thanksgiving, singing, and glorifying. Get loud, get definite, aggressive! Wrestle it down. (Eph.6) and break into the anointing.
