SUICIDE:
AN INVITATION TO HELL!!!
RUN FROM SUICIDE!!!
VERY QUICKLY, BELOVED,
TURN TO THE LORD JESUS!!!
Jeremiah 29:11
"I know the plans I have for you,"
declares the LORD,
"plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
to give you hope and a future."___________________
Beloved, suicide is something that satan places in the minds of every person that walks the face of this earth. It is his ultimate goal to kill all of God Almighty's creations. He approaches his mental onslaught of suicidal thoughts from a person's childhood and builds upon tragedy, disappointments, rejections, failures, sins, etc., in his effort to convince a soul that all is hopeless in this life. A person that belongs to The LORD Jesus is not "immune" to such mental assaults from satan. In fact, nothing would make the enemy of our souls happier than to entice a true Christian to turn completely from God and murder ourselves while dying apostate. An eternity in a devil's burning hell is satan's goal for all human beings. Do not delude yourself into thinking that you are exempt from his plans to try to destroy your faith in The LORD Jesus as he attempts ultimately to destroy your soul.
TURN TO THE LORD JESUS!!!
FLEE any and all thoughts that come into your mind desirous of death. These thoughts are from satan and eventually he will place suicide into your mind as a way of escaping life's trials and tribulations and disappointments. He works this gradually. He sows evil attacks upon a person and then waters the resulting hurt and disappointment with thought of hopelessness, loneliness, despair, and helplessness. He offers only the world's definition of "life" and whatever falls short of the make-believe definition that this world purports itself to have as a definition of "life" is held up as truth.....when in fact it is a devil's lie. Life begins and ends in Jesus. Period. THAT, Beloved, is LIFE. THAT is how GOD, your Creator, defines "Life".
We see in 1 John chapter 3 verse 15 these words given through John by The Holy Ghost..."and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him."
Suicide is murder of self with NO chance of repentance after death. The destination of one without eternal life dwelling in him or her is HELL!!!
So many seek to "fix" the eternal destination of one murdering themselves as being the destination of Heaven but The Word of The Living and Almighty God and Savior Jesus Christ does NOT teach this.
RUN to Jesus when these thoughts come into your mind. God is not the One giving you these thoughts, Beloved.
TURN TO THE LORD JESUS!!!
If you have survived the suicide of a child, an adolescent, a son, a daughter, a loved one, a parent, a husband, a wife, etc., ONLY GOD can comfort you through His Holy Spirit. To have this comfort, you MUST be a true Christian. The Holy Ghost is given ONLY to those that belong to The LORD and ONLY Savior Jesus Christ. RUN TO JESUS, BELOVED. HE HAS ARMS THAT WILL TENDERLY ROCK YOU AND COMFORT YOU AND HE WILL BE WITH YOU AS YOU CRY AS WELL AS WHEN YOUR TEARS CEASE. HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU. NEVER!!! He is GOD!!! He is our FATHER!!! As was said by a beloved pastor several years ago to a dear Christian Momma after her grown son blew his head off with a rifle, "This will only hurt while you are down here." You see, Beloved, a Christian's destination is Heaven wherein lieth no tears or sorrows. The Bible says plainly that God Himself will wipe away all tears from His children's eyes when He gets us Home to Him in Heaven.
TURN TO THE LORD JESUS!!!
The LORD Jesus woke you up this morning because it was His Will for you to live. Do not curse His Will by wishing you were dead. If you are unsaved, it is another day given to you by His grace and mercy in which to find The Treasure that you were placed on earth to find....Jesus. If you are saved, it is another day given to you by His grace and mercy to enjoy His Presence with you and His Presence within you. It is another day to praise Him for saving your eternal soul from hell.
The LORD Jesus has promised His true children that He has gone to prepare a place for us in Heaven. He has promised that when it is completed, He will return for us. We will then get to live with Him throughout all of eternity. He Who has promised is faithful and He will keep His promise to us.
TURN TO THE LORD JESUS!!!
If memories of past or present sins scream "GUILTY!!!" in the corriders of your mind, take this to The LORD Jesus. There is no sin that God will not forgive if repented of with a true and broken heart against the sins committed against Him. ALL sin is committed against The LORD God Almighty Jesus Christ. After forgiveness, satan will bombard your mind probably for the rest of your earthly life with thoughts about your past guilts. Take these thoughts captive immediately and place them under The Authority of Jesus Christ for these thoughts are thoughts that exalt themselves against God. God says He forgives and remembers our sins no more against us because of what The LORD Jesus did for us on the cross of Calvary and God is not a man that He would lie to us!!! Bask in the sunshine of His forgiveness. It is eternal. Don't look back. Just as one cannot drive a car in traffic while looking constantly in the rearview mirror, so one cannot walk in the joy of being forgiven while constantly looking back at past sins. Enjoy what God has given you by forgiving you. NEVER FORGET that God's gift of forgiveness to you cost His Beloved Son His life. YOUR life could NEVER count for anything when it comes to being forgiven. THAT WAS JESUS' JOB....AND THAT JOB IS FINISHED. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DIE FOR YOUR SINS DESPITE WHAT SATAN MIGHT WHISPER INTO YOUR THOUGHTS. WHEN SATAN BRINGS THAT THOUGHT TO YOUR MIND (AND HE LIKELY WILL DO SO), DELETE THE THOUGHT FROM YOUR MIND FOR IT IS A THOUGHT COMING FROM THE FATHER OF ALL LIES.
TURN TO THE LORD JESUS!!!
