What Would Jesus Have to Say About It?: Suicide Is NOT an Option!

Self-murder is a very serious thought for anyone to entertain, especially a confessing follower of Jesus Christ. Nearly 100 people commit suicide every single day in the United States according to the American Suicide Prevention Association. One out of five Americans suffer from chronic depression.

*** W A R N I N G ***

The following does NOT promote traditional humanistic, psychological theories and scientific formulas, but it will work for sincere people who want change in their lives for REAL!!!

There are VERY important truths that MUST be said to help you overcome if you struggle with suicidal thoughts and chronic depression. Are you REALLY ready to break free from homicidal thoughts and chronic depression? Okay, I’m going to give it to you straight! My Friend, you have a thinking problem! You are consumed with you! Yes you are! I am going to prove it to you, the next time you are feeling overwhelmed with thoughts of destroying yourself, ask this question of yourself….who are you thinking about? Y O U!

SELF occupation, brings SELF destruction!

You are pre-occupied with yourself! You are! Don’t you realize the depth of pain multitudes are facing every second of the day who has lost those they love to tragedy, sickness and disease, but they are making it through? They have not thrown in the towel to life as they endure the pain. They are striving to move on with their lives, they dare not consider self-murder! Why are you? What makes your situation any different regardless of what it is? I will tell you my Friend, it is the way you have chosen to THINK ABOUT IT!

GET OVER YOURSELF!!!

Stop being selfish! Get up out of that self-pity! GET UP!! REACH UP! Away with the Woe Is Me Attitude! STOP IT RIGHT NOW!! Where has it gotten you thus far? NO WHERE FAST!!!

You ask the question, why am I coming at you in this manner as if I do not care about your pain and problems, I do care! This is precisely the reason I am striving with you to STOP sitting around thinking about yourself! You are not the only one who has pain my Friend. You are not!

Hey! I could tell you some stories of the emotional pain and suffering I’m currently enduring at this present time that would blow your hair back off your head!! Oh' yes I could! Come on, we all have a story my Friend. GET OVER YOURSELF!!! God DOES have a plan for you. He has joy and peace to give too you freely, BUT you have to seek him, just like you have to go to the gym and work out to get a six pack of muscles! They do not just appear; you have to WORK OUT!!

Feelings will always oppose your faith, ALWAYS!!! RESIST WHAT YOU FEEL. It’s time to go for what you know about God. And if you don't know, time to stop PLAYING church games and pick up that BIBLE on your coffee stand and search those scriptures until He reveals himself to you!!!!

Hey! I know what I’m talking about! God is REAL, REAL, REAl!! He did not promise us all things would be easy, breezy like Cover Girl! He said to those that endure, we shall inherit the Kingdom of God! Come on! SHAKE YOURSELF!! Cast down those thoughts of harming yourself! CAST THEM DOWN!

SUICIDE IS NOT AN OPTION!!

I SAID! SUICIDE IS NOT AN OPTION!

Turn that cell phone off, turn that TV off, and go talk to God! Do you hear me!!! GO AND TALK TO GOD!! Seek Him! Call on Him! You must do this by faith!!! Come On!

When you or I spend all of our time pre-occupied thinking about ourselves: who did what to us, why did they do what they did? Why is my nose so big, my breast to small, my hair to thin, my stomach too fat, my ears to big, I ain't got no money! I ain't got no honey!..........You Will Perish!!

Let NO ONE deceive you! What you think about, that you will become! You cannot CONSTANTLY think about what you have lost and do not have and become empowered! Thoughts invoke feelings! Feelings oftentimes ARE contrived from circumstances that can change overnight for you. Faith and feelings DO NOT MIX! Your faith won’t grow if you spend all of your time rehearsing you, you, YOU! YOU, YOU!!!!!!!!!

You cannot convince me that you spend all of your spare time thinking about how great God is, and you want to die! Despite the wrongs that have been done to you, despite the money problems you are facing, despite the medical problems you are facing, my Friend, God has been good to you!

It is NOT fair that you have been mistreated, lied on, talked about, rejected, scandalized and abandoned by those who promised to always love and cherish you, BUT you must forgive them AND yourself too!! We have ALL sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God!! There are some people that ARE evil!! Evil! Evil! EVIL!

Friend, life is hard and delivers each and every one of us some crushing blows. All of us!! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!

Do you have any idea of the pain and suffering Jesus went through for you to obtain and maintain a PERSONAL relationship with the Living God? Do you understand what you are telling God who created you when you consider destroying his handy work that created your earthy body? Do you REALLY understand what you are telling him?

Destroying your 'physical' body only separates your body from your spirit and soul. Your spirit/soul, the mind, will and emotions are what are causing you to feel as you do. I will prove it to you. You cannot see depression or joy, but you can feel them. Where do these 'feelings' come from? The spirit and soul that is in you ~ housed inside of your PHYSICAL body. Your body does what your mind tells it to do. When you kill the body, you are disconnecting your spirit/soul from its house or temple. It’s like peeling the skin from an apple! The fruit is on the inside. The peel protects it. Once you separate the peel from the fruit, it will die!

My Friend, do not destroy your body!!! It is NOT the answer to your problem.........IT IS THE WAY "YOU" THINK!!! When a person exits the earth in torment, they enter eternity the same as their spirit/soul exited the earth, tormented. I am reminded of young man who was interviewed on a national talk show who jumped 90 feet in an attempt to kill himself after suffering most of his life in depression. He crushed nearly all of his bones in his body. He was given a very slim chance to survive. He did recover, however he admits that he still suffers from depression and the fleeting thoughts of self destruction. Why is this important to understand, because his physical body was not the source of his real pain, it was his soul that still torments him.

Our thoughts affect the way we feel! You cannot KILL your soul!!!! You have to submit it to God! Fish need water to live. Flowers need the soil. Your spirit/soul needs God to live!!! You are spiritually dying because you are away from God, GET BACK INTO GOD, not into yourself! There is NO life there! Everything that is alive needs another source from without too live. For human beings, that true source IS God. Not religion! RELATIONSHIP with God.

The quickest way to get back into God is to look upon HIS handy works! Technology is great, but it can steal you from nature. Nature is God's creation that He yields constantly for you to enjoy and be reminded of His majesty, power and provision. Hey! Think about your favorite food, that's God's provision for you. Think about your favorite of all things, they are God's provision towards you!

Okay, you may say you are mad at God for any number of reasons. Your ex cheated and ran off with someone else, God did not cheat on you and run away with someone else on you, they did!! You chose that person to be in your life, NOT God! You may have some very serious reasons why you may be angry at God, but what part did YOU play in the scenario? Hey!!! The truth be told, we can all be tempted to be angry with God at some time or the other in our lives, but He is still God! He is life! He is patient and understands our human frailties. He understands. BUT self-murder is going too far!

Listen to what the Bible clearly tells us, 1Corinthians 3:16-17, Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are. In other words, do not mess with God's property!!

Your physical body belongs to God! He created it, NOT you!! It is NOT yours to destroy.

If you are a sincere follower of Jesus Christ, and you are contemplating self-murder, consider this fact, it is SELF that you are considering to murder. We are talking about HOMICIDE HERE!! Why? Because you are SELF centered rather than Christ centered. Friend, do you not understand what you REALLY are considering to do too yourself? It is against the law to murder someone; it is also a spiritual crime as well. God gave you the breath of life; it is NOT yours to take!! It’s time to die to self, and put it on the shelf for the cause of Christ!!

What have you done for Him lately? Are you drowning in dead religious rituals and traditions of men? Are you carrying guilt from something you have done in your past that causes you to feel dirty and unworthy? This is not the time to run from God! This is your time to run too Him My Friend! He is waiting for you to stop being prideful. Yes! Pride can cause you to hide. You cannot hide from God. Hey! You can ignore Him, but you cannot hide from Him! And if you are not careful you can make your sins and shortcomings an idle! You can worship them! Are you worshipping your sin? There is no need for another lamb to be slain for your shortcomings and past sins, Jesus filled that position over 2,000 years ago, God is not taking applications for self-martyrs!!!!

Do you struggle with unforgiveness towards those that have violated you and harmed you? Listen to me very closely my Friend, this may hurt, but it is the raw truth, who do you think you are? Consider all the people you have hurt in some way form or fashion. Who are you not to forgive others for what they have done to you? WHO?

Jesus did not do anything to anyone accept tell them the truth. He died for your enemy’s sins and yours too! Do you really know him today? If God could speak directly to you right in this moment, He would tell you this.....The KEY Is ME! You have lost your key.....it’s time to start looking for it! Seek, Ask and Knock! God is Near, Do not FEAR! Do NOT take your life!! It is a Spiritual Crime that is punishable on the other side of eternity.

Contrary to popular believe, time does not heal you.....GOD DOES! GET BACK TO GOD!!!

DO NOT GIVE UP ON HIM! DO NOT!!!!!!!!!!

Listen to this beautiful song, It will raise your conscience towards God who is waiting to restore your soul. He loves you My Friend. STOP the madness and GO TALK TO GOD. There is Hope! There is Love for you and your many talents, skills and convictions to still share with the entire world. Come ON! Get Up! Get Back to living for God and His plan for your life. LET'S GO!!

Take time to read the following, they will also assist you in considering many other gateways that can and will encourage wrong thinking that does lead to depression, hopelessness, and many other destructive mind sets. You can make it!!
