Sometimes we all feel we are the only one going through a particular situation. You may feel no one really understands what “I Am” feeling deep inside, but……HE KNOWS!
The times when you feel anxious about your future, not knowing what tomorrow will bring, wanting those secret desires to come to pass in your life, you wonder from time to time: does He really know? Does God really know what I am feeling, Yes,,,,,,HE KNOWS! He does know the many questions that you have about your life: are things going to work out the way you have planned them. Why is it taking so long for this too happen, for that to happen? Should I do this, should I do that? Should I even feel this way? Still wondering: Does HE KNOW?
Everyone has an inner struggle that He KNOWS about and cares about. The times when you feel alone or discouraged is the time God wants you to draw close to him, to talk to him, to think on him, and to trust him because, HE KNOWS. The question He often asks us is, “Do you know”?
Do you know the areas in your life and personality that can be corrected through your times of testing, trial and tribulation that will make you a more loving, patient and compassionate person? Regardless of what is going on in your life at this time or regardless how you are feeling, don’t you forget…… GOD KNOWS!
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

SUICIDE

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 fromyour 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!!

Pornography is the number one addiction in America. Mental illness is rising while “Gospel” music has moved to the forefront. You would think that our nation would be the most peaceful and righteous nation in the world! We should have no mental illness whatsoever with all of our “anointed” Gospel music. We have the best musical instruments and studios ever! We have never been so beautiful, polished and camera ready.
However, unlike David, the son of Jesse who became king over Israel, who the scriptures tell us was a skilled musician (harpist) and man after God’s own heart, many are not! They want money, fame and the rising of their names. They want to go 'solo' and launch their CD for everyone to listen too over and over again. Here lies a very important fact, technology is great, however, it has afforded us the ability to become seduced by repetitive listening to potentially hazardous singers and musicians who are defiled.
Listening to musicians and singers, especially 'solo' artist, is like inviting someone into to your home. They are visiting and they will leave their 'presence' behind long after they have physically left. And so it is with music that is no longer playing in your ear, but it has left an 'impression' on your heart.
The scriptures tell us that David played his harp when Saul, king of Israel, who was his predecessor lost God's anointing because of his constant rebellion. Saul was constantly vexed by evil spirits that God sent to harass him. When David played under the 'anointing' of God, the evil spirits left him. Now if David could play OUT the evil spirits, do we not understand that an evil spirit CAN be played IN!
Listen my friend in Christ. Do you only listen to Christian music and struggle with depression, lust or sexual perversion? Check the artist that you are listening too! If they are female and display their sexuality with 'sexy' attire and poses in their videos, CD covers and websites....Cut them off! Does your male artist and musicians have feminine mannerisms...Cut them off! Why? These clear 'outward' manifestations reveal the heart of these artists. They are seducing you! Music IS a "Spiritual" encounter!
I recall a friend of mine in Christ who asked me to listen to some music that she loved and wanted me to listen to a paticular song on this CD. The moment I heard it, I was immediately aware of the cause of her depression that she was experiencing without any particular reason in her life. The "company" she was keeping with the artist who created this CD was depressed, the Holy Spirit allowed me to discern this immediately. She was listening to this CD constantly. She had 'welcomed' a depressed spirit into her house (her soul). My sister in Christ was "musing" over great lyrics on this CD, but the 'spirit' of the artist singing was oppressed.
She played it while she was sleeping and in her car while driving back and forth to work. My friend in Christ was being 'spiritually assassinated AND contaminated" unaware.
In most Christian churches the music we are listening to is considerd "worship," it is slow and 'calming'. Not all of this type of music is contaminated, but this CD was! Friend, we need discernment like never before to know the difference. In light of this disturbing fact, can you imagine the contamination of countless young people who are feeding their hearts and minds with violent, lustful and depressing music? Can you REALLY imagine? I can, this is precisely the reason multitudes are depressed, angry and want to be a gangster or the next booty shakin' Diva! What goes in, is exactly what's coming out!
Are you a singer or musician actively involved in sexual perversion (homosexuality, lesbian, masturbation), fornication, adultery, mental illness, substance abuse, greed, jealousy, anger, and the list could go on? You should not be singing to anyone! Please, go and sit down!
If you are on anti-depressant drugs, put down that microphone and go Sit Down! There is a time and season for all things. This is not your time and it is not your season! You are helping to contribute to the spiritual demise of those that hear your gift but they struggle with their own sin, they do not need your sins too!! You are a dangerous person. You are like the person that has HIV and seeks to sleep with others without telling them you are infected, BUT, you can be Healed from your pain.
My dear friend, if this is you, Jesus is a burden bearer and heavy load sharer! Fame and craving the applause of others is destoying your soul. What does it prosper you to gain in this world and continue to lose your soul? Ask God to heal your wounds and restore you back to Himself. He will do it! He Loves You!!! Give yourself back to God.
Friend, always check to see how the music you are listening too makes you feel and who does it provoke you to think about. As a follower of Jesus Christ, it should be him or our Heavenly Father. Music was created by God, for God. All else will contamiate you and hold you captive to old relationships, people and pain.
Make sure you read my other blog "Music, the Spiritual Assassin of the Soul." It will challenge you and bless you.
Listen to this....it will Bless your Soul!

There are countless Christians who erroneously refer to some who may have dominating personalities as a Jezebel. It may be very accurate to say that the person is controlling, however, apart from an overt, sexually provocative disposition, that person is not a Jezebel. And let me tell you this up front, many men are Jezebel's!! This spirit does not control apart from sexuality: flirting, teasing, provocative attire, inappropriate touching, SEDUCTION!
There is much teaching about the Spirit of Jezebel who was notorious for her wickedness and controlling of her wicked husband Ahab, who was king over Israel. However, what we must be very clear about is this: (1) Ahab was already a wicked man and Jezebel "stirred" what was already in him - evil! (2) Jezebel was a high priestess in the temple of false god Baal who they believed was a fertility god that brought rain to the earth for harvest. Jezebel 'ministered' to a sex god! Okay now, you got to catch this! ‘When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it. She painted her eyes, and adorned her head, and looked out of the window." 1Kings 21:25
Why did God inspire this detail to be told about Jezebel in the Scriptures? Because she is a SEDUCTRESS! Her primary method of operindi is to use her 'sexuality and beauty' to seduce, manipulate and DOMINATE! Painting of the face, or shall I say, putting on make up was a showcase of power in the time of Jezebel. It was not common for ordinary women to wear makeup. It was a ritual to make clear to others her rank of power as queen and priestess. However, in our 21st Century culture, wearing make up is common and hair products are everywhere! Women now "pull rank" with their 'painted on' jeans, hip huggin, breast tuggin provocative attire and their 4 inch heal Steletto's! The more voluptuous, the more rank or power they feel they have over other women that they compete with to subdue kingdoms. More specifically, the Kingdom of God in you!!
Jesus is a Great King! Jezebel cannot handle him in you! She was defeated at the Cross! My dear Brothers in Christ, the next time you see that woman with her breast propped up and her buttocks in those tight jeans teasing and flirting with the doors, gates and windows of your soul, CAST HER DOWN! Give her NO attention! She is out for your mind, body AND your soul. Female sexual predators are taking over the Nation and the Christian church in America....these are Jezebels kids!! They love to "claim" they are followers of Jesus Christ, but remember, if it walks like a Duck, talks like a Duck, its ... A DUCK!
Listen my dear Friend, there is not a person on the planet that does not have the propensity to be controlling in some form or the other. It is human nature. However, it is erroneous to think that the Spirit of Jezebel is controlling apart from her primary weapon...Sex! There is a vast difference between someone who is insecure and always trying to take over and this seductive, sexual Spirit of Jezebel whose ultimate goal is to get you away from God!!!!
If you have a true follower of Jesus Christ constantly talking to you about living for Christ who may at times be "overbearing" out of zealousness and love for your soul, that is not a Jezebel Spirit trying to control you, that is the love of God striving with you through them! Jezebel wants you under her spell to take you to hell! Some Jezebel Spirit's may have great careers and are sweet on the outside, but rotten on the inside. They do not encourage you to live for God by the shed blood of Jesus Christ. They can be doctors, lawyers, movie stars and the like, but if they are not encouraging you to get right with God.....they have not been sent from God. Doesn't matter how handsome or successful, how big their buttocks, breast or thighs.....they will cost you eternity if you entertain their seduction and love for this present world that is soon to pass away.
Here are Some Signs of a Jezebel Spirit:
Flirty in speech and with their eyes
Wears sexual, provocative attire - Check out some Christian female singers "sexy" attire, websites and CD covers
Men who look 'sexual' and effeminate
Extreme in make up, hair and nails to draw attention to themselves
Will use their talents, money, gifts and their influence to seduce you.
Has no regard for sexual purity.
Mean spirited, lacks compassion and mercy when you do not give them what they want
Spiteful and Vindictive, has temper tamptrums when they cannot have their way
Has no regard for marriage covenant, will encourage infidelity of married men and women.
Encourages rebellion against the revealed Word of God. They twist the Scriptures to justify sin.
The ultimate goal of a Jezebel Spirit is to entice you to become an idolater and live for self pleasure. Story told of Jezebel in 1Kings Chapter 9 and 2Kings Chapter 21. Remember this, a man can also possess this same spirit. They use their sexuality, looks, charm, flattery and materialism to entice you. They want control of you. They want worship and power. They want YOUR SOUL!
Sometimes we all feel we are the only one going through a particular situation. You may feel no one really understands what “I Am” feeling deep inside, but……HE KNOWS!
