Suicide Is Not The Answer.


Hebrews 13:5

Jesus said.  "I will never leave you, nor forsake you."

You are never alone.  Jesus is with you.  All you have to is reach out and Jesus will meet you where ever you are at.  Just say:  "Jesus, I need you."

A young man was active in the church.  He played the drums during worship.  He worked out.  He took care of himself.  So everyone thought.

He let his depression over take him. and he is no longer with us.

On the outside, he looked like his life was perfect.  He was good looking.  He was a nice guy.  He was a personal trainer, helping others to get healthy and fit.  On the outside, it looked like he had everything going for him

He was a Born Again Christian.  Jesus said, chose life.

Satan comes to kill, steal and destroy.

The fight is in our mind.  We must fight Satan everyday of our lives.  Satan does not want us to be close to God or Jesus.  That is why it is so important to renew your mind.  Read the Bible, daily.  Pray throughout the day.  Going to church on Sundays, is not going to do it.  

Suicide is on the rise as we are now living in the last days.  How to do we handle this with ourselves and our loved ones?

In the United States, it is all about the medicine.  Go to the doctor and they will give you pills.  That doesn't work, they will give you more pills.  For me, that was not the answer.

I have been suicidal most of my life.  I never thought I would live though my twenties.  I had no plans for the future.  I thought I would not be alive, so bother.

I am now almost 60 years old, and I am still alive.  Why?  Satan had his chances to kill me, but every time, God saved me.  I could be dead right now and you would not be reading this.  I have cut myself many times.  Abused alcohol and abused over the counter medicine.  Satan tried to burn my house down, which if Satan had succeeded, I would have been burned alive.  God saved me from that fire.

So how is it that I haven't killed myself nor have I taken any depression medicine?

Jesus is the answer.  When I am at my lowest, (I still have those moments)  I get on my knees and pray.  I don't pray for God to heal me or save me, nor to I wine and complain to God.  God already knows what I am going through.  My prayer is something like this:

Dear Lord,
I cannot do this alone.  I need you, Jesus.  Only you can help me.  I am nothing without you, nor can I do anything without you.  I need you Jesus.  Amen."

Then I usually go to sleep, or otherwise I would do something stupid.  Then when I wake up, you know what?  I feel better.  My mind is clearer.  

Suicide Is not the Answer

Jesus Is The Answer.

I can only speak from my experience.  If you need to go to a doctor, by all means go to the doctor.  Take the medicine.

Don't do it alone.  Invite Jesus to go with you and to guide you.  

Jesus said choose life.

Satan comes to kill, steal and destroy.

Holiday Depression & Suicide

Thanksgiving Day, Christmas, New Year's Eve & New Year's Day

It is overwhelming and enough to make you jump off the bridge and end it all.

Jesus was born on Christmas to give us Hope and to Save us.

Don't let this world win.  GOD LOVES YOU!

To be honest, I do not like the holidays.  I do not join in on Thanksgiving dinner.  I don't go into debt for Christmas.  I don't even decorate for Christmas.  It is not in the Bible, to put a tree in your house.  The Bible says to borrow from none, but be a lender to many nations.  Deuteronomy 28:12 Everything the world does for the holidays are not in the Bible.

The reason for Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus.

I know it can be a hard time if you do not come from a loving family, If you don't have someone to celebrate the holidays with.  A few years ago, I was severely depressed.  I was alone.  For Thanksgiving and Christmas, I took cold medicine, alot of cold medicine and slept through those days.  I was not awake for Christmas or Thanksgiving.  I didn't want to be around people who were happy and life was great.  I wanted to die.  In fact, I did that for about 3 years.  This time of year is very hard for me.  I get depressed.  All the Christmas music, everyone is happy on television.  I just want to crawl back into bed and wake up when it is all over.

That is not what GOD wants us to do.  Stop listening to the world

Look up to Jesus and what He did at the Cross.

Look around, find someone who is in need.  Fill that need.

I learned that my neighbors had no food in their house.  I couldn't believe it.  They work everyday, but having trouble paying their bills.  I bought them a gift card.  After I left, they went to the store and bought food.

I stopped looking at myself and started looking at others.  I felt good for doing that, and I also helped someone.  GOD has a plan for me.  GOD has a plan for you.  You are here for a reason Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you.  Plans to prosper you not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Don't let Satan win.

I struggle with this every year.  I can be with friends and ones that love me and I still want to crawl under the covers.  I don't because GOD loved me before the creation of the world Ephesians 1:4

So when things are getting to you, Look up.  Talk to GOD.  Give GOD your problems.  Do Something nice for someone.

GOD Loves You!!!
